I arrived at work just on time as usual and took a seat at my desk.
I've decorated it a bit since I got back. Charlie said it might make me feel better but I don't think it made much of a difference.
Will has been pissy at me all week, all because I didn't let him use my car.
It might also be the fact that I won't tell him what happened the other day with Harris.
What? I don't want to relive the embarrassment.
Although it seems I might have to...
I've just discovered a post-it note saying, 'My office asap.'
Gee, I wonder who that's from.
What if I pretend I didn't see it?
Nah, she'll know I did. It's right in front of me.
I audibly sighed as I stood up to approach the DCI office, stopping at the door but not knocking.
I'll procrastinate as long as I can, I don't care.
"Beckett, come in." I heard from inside.
I furrowed my eyebrows and entered the room, "How did you know I was there?"
"I could practically hear you trying to find an excuse to avoid me."
Well, this is a bit awks.
"Sit."
"Yes ma'am."
She smirked, leaning forward to rest her head on her knuckles.
"You requested my presence?" I sighed.
"Yes. I'd like to take you for a drink."
Thank god I wasn't already drinking something because I would've spat it everywhere.
"You what?" I coughed out.
"I'd like to take you out for a drink." She said, refusing to break eye contact.
"So you can take me home and kill me?" I questioned.
"Maybe not kill you." She smirked.
"Maybe!?" I exclaimed.
She stared at me sarcastically, "Look, you don't have to but I just thought a friendly drink might be fun."
"Just a friendly drink? As friends? Alone? And it's not a date?"
"Yes, for now, yes, and definitely not a date, is that too much to ask?" She said, raising her eyebrow.
I narrowed my eyes at her, "No ulterior motive?"
"No."
I contemplated it for a second before retrieving my phone from my pocket and placing it in front of her.
"Is that a yes?"
"Yes, but I'm gonna need your number in case you stand me up."
She took her phone out of her pocket and scrolled on it a few times before pressing a button.
Suddenly my phone started ringing.
I looked at the unknown number confused.
"Only an idiot would stand you up." She said, pressing her phone again.
A second later my phone stopped ringing.
Oh.
"So I should have a backup then yeah?"
"Watch it." She glared.
I shot my hands up, "Jeez relax, I'm kidding. Text me when you want me."
"Will do." She smiled.
I got up to leave but turned to face her before I reached for the door, "Oh, and if I call. Pick up. Don't want a repeat of last time." I laughed.
"What do you mean?" She questioned.
"When I got shot?"
She grimaced as if she was in pain before returning to her confused expression.
"Anna tried to call you like three times?" I elaborated.
"She never called me that day." She said, even more confused.
"Oh, maybe I'm losing it... Anyways, pick up the damn phone." I smiled as I left her office.
I have got to call Will...
As soon as I stepped foot outside the building I called him.
"What do you want." He said, pretending to be mad.
I ignored his loving greeting, "You'll never guess what just happened."
"You finally lost your virginity?"
"Hey, there's nothing wrong with waiting." I frowned.
"Yeah right, like you could wait."
Ouch, that one hurt.
"Fine, I guess I won't tell you about my non-date." I shrugged.
"YOU GOT A DATE?" He squealed.
"I don't know why it surprises you so much considering I apparently shag anyone and everyone."
"Nooo come on tell me I'm sorry." I could almost see the pout on his face.
"Fine, since you apologized. Harris asked to take me out for a drink."
"SHE ASKED YOU OUT? LIKE ON A DATE? WHEN?" He screamed.
"Yes, as friends. It's not a date. I don't know when, she said she'd text me."
"Sure sure, not a date my ass. That woman is practically on her hands and knees for you already." He said, most likely rolling his eyes.
"It's not a date William." I huffed.
"You're both in denial. You better let me know how it goes."
"If you're nice to me I shall."
He sighed, "Fine. Shit, I gotta go but keep me updated. Someone's gotta pilot this ship."
"Alright, laters looser." I smiled into the phone.
"Bye biatch."
It's not a bloody date.
I didn't even get to put my phone back in my pocket before it went off.
Already? I only left her office ten minutes ago.
'Tomorrow after work. Wear something nice. - Harris.'
God, does she ever let loose?
She'd better tomorrow or she's gonna have a great time with my grumpy ass.
'Don't I always wear something nice?' I replied.
'Don't be late.'
Oh, well that's just lovely isn't it.
I guess I'll have to wear something terrible.
