I go out the shooting range and head towards the IT department, yes Louise was right and I have a crush on him...he's the type of person who always has something positive to say and it makes my entire day. The way he smiles sends daggers to my heart's and I just want to spend each and every moment by his side,he's the type to not be shy about what he wants and I appreciate it...no one has made me feel like that before and I'm not letting go with trying. I head inside the IT wing and start looking around trying to be discreet when all of a sudden I hear a voice from behind me,
Hey Ethan what are you doing here?
I turn back around and unfortunately for me it's not Carter but Joe. Joe's been an employee here for longer than I've been alive but who's counting, he's a jolly dude who used to work with Mr Marcus Ford before coming here.
Oh hey umm Joe... nothing I was just uhh... looking around!
I try to come up with ex excuse but I'm terrible at lying, I see him visibly sigh and facepalm before he looks at me with a defeated sigh
Storage unit.
I look at him confused,
W..what?
I ask him still confused.
We all know you're here for Carter. You're not being slick you were never descreet about it. It's been too long Ethan when are you confessing?
I feel my face burning up from embarrassment as he continues,
He's in the storage unit. This is your only chance. Go and don't screw up!
I quickly collect myself, still a bit embarrassed, (I guess they caught on huh...)
Thank you Joe you're a life saver!
I give joe a fist bump and rush towards the storage unit, and after a few minutes of searching I find him sorting some files. I take a deep breath and prepare myself and think of how to go about this, I work up the courage and head towards him
Hey whatcha doin~
I smile softly as he turns around to see me standing behind him and his face lights up with that adorable smile I fell in love with and my heart does a summersault.
Ethan what are you doing here?
He says while getting up.
I'm looking for something actually...
I put on a confused face
Oh like what? I'll help you look for it!
He says with that same smile and (god I just want to kiss that adorable face!)
You're number~
I give a wide grin as I watch his face and he immediately bursts out laughing, I admit I was a bit startled when he did that but I also admit my heart twisted in a knot after hearing him laugh, that laugh could cure cancer...after a while he's done laughing and immediately hugs me. I was taken aback but I'm not missing an opportunity so I hug back wrapping my arms around him
I've been waiting for you to ask this since day one!
I look at him wide eyed.
Y..you did??
He nods rapidly like a little child who just was asked if he wanted to go to the park and my heart just melted.
Yeah dummy I did! Took you long enough!
He says as he pulls away from the hug and looks at me, with those big brown eyes, I smile,
So does this mean you'll go on a date with me?
I give him a cheek smile.
Yes it means I'll go on a date with you
He says giving me a sigh
So how about we meet for pizza some day?
I ask,
Yeah sure why not. I've been craving some pizza for a while now
He replies,
So uhh...can I have your number?
I ask him sheepishly,
Yeah sure give me your phone.
He says and I hand over my phone,
The password is...
Before I could finish telling him my phone password he hands my phone back.
Here you go! I put my number in
I look at his confused,
How did you know my password?
He gives me a playful chuckle,
I work in the IT department. It wasn't so hard to catch the passcode of a person who used password as the password.
I scratch the back of my neck awkwardly, I was never the type to remember passwords
So uhh...how about Saturday night? When I'm off my shift I'll pick you up!
He nods
Sounds like a plan
I give him a smile,
Great see you then
I head back outside feeling like the luckiest man ever, but I also know if I cheat someday I won't be able to hide it.
