Gossiping with Cass
361 Words
It's seven. I groan and drag myself out of bed. I did not get any sleep at all. I wash my face and make myself a cup of coffee. I have meetings to attend today. A couple of them!
I dress up and leave for work before time because I had nothing better to do. I was sitting in my office working on the design of the monthly edition of the fashion magazine when Cass storms into my room and bangs my desk.
"what the hell is a little? " Cass demands to know.
I look at her like she has lost her mind.
"I don't know! Why? " I ask.
"Daniel texted me last night. He wanted to know if you were a little." she explains.
On hearing Daniel's name my heart skips a beat.
"Oh" Cass gave me off of her looks when an oh was all I could manage.
"he asked me the same thing yesterday at lunch." I elaborate.
"and what did you say? "
"nothing. I don't know what a little is" I tell her and she considers me for a second trying to figure out whether I am lying to him or not.
"well.. He asked me for your number. What should I do? "
"Umm.. I.. You can give the number if you want. I don't mind. " I mumble.
J pretend to concentrate on my designs when my heart is doing backdrops inside my chest.
"Oh quit it! You like him too! I can see it" she says and snorts.
I pretend to be oblivious to her presence.
"why do you look like you were binge-watching some series the entire night yesterday? " she asks. God, she can be so pestering at times!
"because I was," I tell her hoping she would not ask me any more questions.
"cool. We have a meeting at 8:30. Grab a coffee and don't be late." she says and storms out pretty much the way he came inside.
I am dancing inside. Daniel asked for my number. Yay!!
Maybe, just maybe he likes me too?
I swoon over his face unable to concentrate on my work anymore!
