Chapter 3
It has been over three days and David and I have been getting along very well, like two people who've known each other over a month or so, guess I made the wrong assumption about him, he's not as bad as I thought if anything he's been of help and I must admit work is not as complicated as it was before and with him around he makes it fun.
Like always, I stopped by the coffee shop and headed to the office afterwards, he's quite late most of the times so I had to start work without him, I headed to the bathroom to check myself in the mirror not sure why I did that but I thought I just had to look good well extra good before he came. On my way out I bumped into him how awkward,
especially at a time like this.
"oh, hey didn't see you there umm whe-when did you come?"
"not long ago, you okay? You seem nervous"
"well I'm just surprised to see you here, this early" (chuckles)
"is that all? I came early because I have a meeting with Mr Thompson"
"I hope you don't have any complaints about me" (lets out a little laughter) not sure why I said that.
"oh no it's not about you don't worry, probably it's about an upcoming project,"
I just nodded my head and started walking towards my desk till I heard him call my name.
"Adeline, you're doing a great job keep it up oh and uh the left side of your dress is uneven"
I looked at my dress and saw that I forgot to lower my dress after coming out of the bathroom, way to go Adeline, way to go. I felt embarrassed and quickly pulled it down.

Later that afternoon I was heading out to grab some lunch, my stomach had been growling for ages and I'm glad that I finally get to end this embarrassment, shortly after I heard David calling me from behind and as much as I wanted to pretend that I didn't hear that, I had to stop and find out why he was calling me. After the dress issue it was quite embarrassing for me to face him I mean no girl would be comfortable to have her crush around when she's coming out of the bathroom especially with part of her dress still tucked in,
"hey, what's up" I said as I looked away still feeling embarrassed about the previous incident.
"nothing, just wondering why you're going out for lunch without me"
"am I supposed to go out for lunch with you?"
"why not? After all these days we've worked together sweating my butt off trying to help you I think I deserve a treat, don't you think?"
"I have to take you for lunch because you helped me with work? This is all new to me. If anything you're supposed to do that instead"
"I don't think there's a rule that says guys don't have to ask for a treat from the ladies and I think I've done a lot for you I really deserve some appreciation here."
As much as I was pissed off I couldn't help but laugh to everything he said, what a man? I have never encountered anybody like him before even the men I dated never asked me to take them out for lunch.
" you're weird"
"I love that about me,so shall we?"
"sure"
As much as it was weird at first things went quite well although there were certain parts when I went out of my way and he had to correct me which I really hate when he does that, I wasn't free eating around him but after he told me to loosen up it was like the burden was lifted off of me, I can't believe I'm this free around this man. I thought been perfect around a man was the rule, looking good, walking perfectly, not laughing hard, eating carefully and so on but it turns with this man there are no rules. I love how he keeps everything simple and care free, I have never been this free around any man not even my exes. Everyday I spend with him i not only get to know him more but I unleash the free spirited girl inside me, i love our conversations and sometimes he's like the best friend I never had, he tells me true facts things that not even my brother or father would tell me which I find that to be surprising.
I've known David for over 2 months now and it feels like we've been friends for a lifetime though the attraction I have towards him is still there I try to bury it and keep everything in the friend zone with him, sometimes I wish we were more than that and sometimes my feelings for him take me to the wide side.
