the office,the widower, and the intern (what do we want, when we do what we want)

I woke up early the next morning, shaken slight as I see Frank up against me, still fast asleep.

I try to scootch away without waking him up, luckily succeeding so i can run to the kitchen and get so coffee, I admit it, I'm addicted.

It was just about ten minutes later when Frank got up and stummbled out into the kitchen.

"Morning sleeping beauty" I say with a smile

"Morning" he said tiredly

"coffee?" I ask holding out the pot and a mug

"Please" I sighed

I pour him a cup and slide it over to him and he immediately takes a sip

"wait, did you call me sleeping beauty?" He asked

"no?" I lie, maybe because I was embarrassed or just to mess with him

"I just said good morning.."i say again

He looked confused "I-I swear I heard that... "

"Why would I say that?" I ask

"I don't know" he snaps

"calm down shorty, I'm just messing with you" I end up giving in as he ends up getting frusterated with himself, or me...or something...

"so you did?" he questioned

"Yes, I did..."

He nods and looks down at his mug "Hey, I've got a question"

"shoot" I say quickly, looking over and leaning on the counter

"will you maybe...maybe reconsider going out with me...just once?" he asked nervously

I stood there trying to process what he was saying, my brain jumbling up the words and blurring it out, I blink blindly for a moment unsure of what I had to say, nor what he said

"What?" I ask, confused

"No yeah, sorry, forget I said anything...." he said looking down

"What...no...who?" I'm still confused then suddenly my brain puts it together, he asked me out, oh, OHHHHHHHHH....oh , oh

"Sorry, sorry" he said again

"wait no, shit" I stumble over my words

"what?" he asked looking up

"I, I mean I really didn't hear you, I might have...maybe...I don't know, please repeat it" I say, looking at him hopefully

"No, no, it's nothing, nevermind.." he said

"Please?" he shakes his head "pretty please?" I beg

"its nothin, its fine..." I said again

"PLLLEEEEEEAAAAAASSSSEEEE" I whine, good god this rat/troll ass motherfucker is really hard to get to talk

"FINE" he gives in

"I asked you out, like for a-a date"

"AHA, I thought so, it just took me a moment" I mumble the last part

"soo, will-will you?" he asked again, taking in a deep breath

"Yeah....I mean, I'd really like too"
