I walked back to my desk after lunch with Marjorie, Kenjie, and Sarah, We had all had a great time catching up and laughing over our meals, but now it was time to get back to work.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
As we settled into our desks and started concentrating on our tasks, I felt someone’s eyes on me. I turned to see, Nolan, walking past our cubicles with a smirk on his face. My heart raced as I realized he was staring directly at me.
I felt my face flush with embarrassment as Nolan disappeared into his office. I knew my coworkers had seen the whole exchange and I could feel their eyes on me as they settled back into their own work.
After a few minutes, Sarah leaned over and whispered, “He is cherry around you. Are you guys messing around?”
Kenjie chimed in, “Yeah, and what of your date how did it go”
I pretend not to hear what they were saying smiling. Nolan, our boss, was interested in me? It was hard to wrap my head around it, but at the same time, I felt a little giddy at the thought.
My coworkers could tell I was blushing and they cheered me on, “Come on, Alexa, spill the beans! Would you date him?”
I just smiled, thinking of how my life would change if I were to date Nolan. It was a tempting thought, but at the same time, I wasn’t sure if I was ready for all that came with dating Nolan.
As I walked out of the office building, I felt excited. Nolan had asked me out on another date, this time to a musical theater show. We met up at the theater, and as we settled into our seats, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
We both ordered some light snacks and watched the show, enjoying the music and the storyline. After the show, we ended up at a fast-food restaurant nearby. Nolan admitted that he had never been to Taco Bell before.
I was surprised. Nolan had the strength to rebel against his father and go out to sing in concert openings, but he had never tried Taco Bell? I laughed and Nolan looked at me weird. He laughed at my speech about the fast-food chain.
As I ordered for both of us, Nolan seemed hesitant to try the burrito I ordered for him. I rolled my eyes at his hesitation and took a bite from his food to show him that it wasn’t poisonous.
To my relief, he chuckled and took a bite of his food, surprised that he didn’t expect it to taste so amazing. We ended up talking and laughing as we finished our food, and I couldn’t help but feel more comfortable around Nolan.
After we finished eating, we walked back to the car. He opened it for me, I couldn’t help but feel a little flutter in my stomach.
“Thanks for a great night,” he said, smiling at me.
I smiled back, feeling a little shy, “Thanks for taking me out.”
