“Shall
we call it a day?”
I
jumped. I had been in my own little world there for a moment. I blinked at her,
“I beg your pardon?”
She
smiled at me and I felt something inside awaken. For the last two years I had
felt nothing. What was it about this
woman, with her soft face and gently curling hair that was getting under my
skin? It made me uncomfortable.
“Fancy
something to eat?” she said with a smile, “I’m famished.”
I
nodded, “Sure.” I agreed. “Tell you what – I’ll take you out – you’ve done
enough today and the rest of the boys can look after themselves for a change.”
What was I saying? What was I doing? I was making it sound as if I cared about
her… Maybe I did.
She
blushed a charming shade of pink. “Oh, right – okay. Where did you have in
mind?”
I
shrugged, “There are a few places in the city – don’t dress up – they’re not
fancy but the food is good.” I grinned at her.
She
smiled back, “Okay,” she agreed, “That sounds like fun. I’ll see you in half an
hour then.” She shot out of the old house and was half way across the field
before I’d realised that I’d just effectively asked her on a date… Shit!
