Bab 297: The kiss

Starting to grow frustrated at his inability to hold a proper conversation with her and sensing a bit of alienation in her speech, he decided to accost her for lunch.

Walking across quickly to meet her at the elevator, he asked pensively and expectantly about her lunch plans.

"You would sure have time to catch a lunch bite, what to eat together?" as he asked expectantly looking at her blushing face.

"Yeah, why not," she replied straight with a smile and a wink as the elevator door closed signaling the conversation was to be continued later or have ended.

As though lunch time seemed to freeze, time passed by very slowly as Marcus glanced at his watch umpteenth time.

"It's lunch time, and I'm about to head out to eat. Where do you like to eat?" he asked with a childlike happiness as he anticipated her answer while selecting menus in his head.
