what a man drinks and their personality. “Vivian was upset and when I asked why, she told me her and her fiancé had been fighting. I told her to take the night off and I’d take care of it.”
“That’s very compassionate of you Jonathan. Hopefully they figure it out. They’ve been engaged for 2 years now,” Rebecca said as she found the folder with the article in it on the server. Noticing his scotch again, Rebecca asked, “Would you ever order the same drink as your date?”
Jonathan took a gulp of his scotch and set his glass down on the desk as he looked confusedly over at Rebecca. “What?”
“You heard me, would you?”
Letting his serious tone and posture relax, he rubbed his defined jaw line as he pondered. “Depends on what she’s drinking,” he said with a smile.
“My date ordered a glass of wine tonight…”
“Oh my…” Jonathan said looking down. “Poor guy. How did you react?”
“The usual,” Rebecca lowered her head as she blushed.
“You have to stop freaking out on your dates when they make a mistake Rebecca!” Jonathan said laughing. “You are going to end up with a million cats and no man.”
Rebecca finished uploading the article to the website that was going live in only a few minutes. As she stood up, she looked at Jonathan, and felt sparks explode inside of her as her eyes met his. I swear he likes me… I just don’t get it. Walking towards him, she grabbed his decanter of scotch and poured herself a shot using his glass. She drank it quickly and set the glass back down next to Jonathan on the desk. Turning away from him, she began to leave.
“Rebecca…” Jonathan said with a low tone as she was rounding the separating wall between the cubicles and lobby. Is this it? Will he finally make a move? Rebecca turned around and beamed at Jonathan.
“You forgot your scarf,” he said standing with her baby blue scarf in hand. Sigh… I guess not… Wait, you know what… I’m going to go for it! I don’t care what happens . As she grabbed the scarf from Jonathan’s hand, she leaned in for a kiss tilting her head. Her lips found nothing but a scruffy cheek. Jonathan placed his hands on her arms, sending tingles through her body that helped calm the anger she felt from the rejection.
“Rebecca… You are a gorgeous gal, but I’m…”
“With Stacy?” Rebecca said angrily swatting his embrace away. “I know for a fact you are interested in me… I don’t get it. I’ve been here two years and we flirt all the time.” Jonathan nodded acknowledging what she was saying and thus fueling her hatred for him rejecting her in that moment.
“The problem is…”
“Don’t even go there Jonathan, you can’t explain yourself out of this situation like you can with the board and the Kinsley report!” Rebecca snapped at him.
“I feel something for you, that’s my problem!” Pulling her close their faces were inches apart, “I like the way your hips sway when you are going to the water cooler, the way your eyes light up when you talk about something you are passionate about…” He stopped.
“What else?” Rebecca encouraged him to continue, enjoying his proximity. “You sounded like you were leaving something out?” Rebecca bit her lip. Jonathan quickly got even closer to her face.
“That lip bite you do… It drives me insane!” He released her quickly and turned away, but not before she saw the fire in his eyes.
“Then what’s the problem?” Rebecca asked firmly.
He paused for a moment and looked towards Stacy’s desk. “I just want something real.” Rebecca grabbed his chin and pulled his face towards her, running her fingers through his hair, she looked into his eyes.
“This can be real Jonathan,” She leaned in to kiss him again, but he stopped her.
“That’s just lust and it isn’t real,” He said looking down. “I’ve been
