After Catherine gave me a show of what she does. I keep trying to make her smile since she looked like she's in a bad mood.

I even shared some ideas that I think she likes or maybe not but I could tell by how serious she worked.

How she sounds whenever she got a call that this woman was something else.

I'm starting to fall for her.

The way she talks and how smart she is, and when she would make jokes they would actually be funny.

But she still seems so calm when things were getting out of hand and she seemed so chill. There were times when she would just relax and when she did.

She looked so relaxed and happy and beautiful to me. But I knew that this girl was going to be hard to crack so I just needed more time and I knew I had that time.

I would make dumb jokes in the hopes of making her laugh but she would just ignore me or give me a dirty look.

As soon as we got done working it had become 7PM. We were so busy that Jenna had to interrupt us so that we realized what time is was.

When we get into the elevator. We're going down for dinner, I realized that this is my first dinner date with Catherine.

I start getting a bit nervous and worry that I will make a huge fool of myself.

When we got there. Catherine walks ahead and is talking to the waitress of some restaurant that looked Italian.

I was going to go up to her then Jenna pulls on my suit.

I turn and look down at her and she asks me "so you nervous to be on your first date with Catherine?"

I turn to her and I could tell she knew I'm nervous.

I nod and she smiles and gives me a look that I realize means that she was serious about me and Catherine

"No I mean, I'm sure Catherine doesn't even like me."

She laughs and says "you know, Catherine is not well known for being a romantic. But when she loves, she loves hard so don't hurt her"

I smile and think that there must have been a huge reason why she is like this but I don't mind.

I just want to see her happy because her smile is the most beautiful thing in the entire world and when she smiles.

Her eyes has this gleam in them. I thought that maybe I was being too fast already falling for her.

"I don't ever want to hurt someone like her Jenna" she looks up at me and smiles and gives me a hug.

I realize that she does care for Catherine and it makes me happy to know that she has someone like Jenna so I hug her back.

I feel this hand on my arm pulling me back and I see Catherine looking at me like she is about to kill me.

She takes Jenna's arm and pulls her to the side. I think about what I did and that maybe it wasn't professional since Jenna and I were co-workers. Plus I was hugging her best friend.

I feel my pocket vibrate and I take out my phone and see that I got a text from Jeremy

Hey, how was the office? Any hot girls I can meet?

I roll my eyes and look up and see that Catherine and Jenna are still talking so I text him back

It went well and yes there are two pretty girls but one is mine and the other is way out of your league

Oh come on! I am single now and I want some good times

You broke up with Alice? I thought you actually liked her

Yes well I didn't so.......give me her number

No.

Please man.

Most definitely not.

Well is she good looking or did you just fall in love with her like always.

No, her name is Jenna and the girl I have a crush on is Catherine.

Jenna? Nice name, if I ask will you give me her number? Also you have a crush on Catherine, What are you in high school again?

Look I don't even have her number so I can't give you anything and shut up

Okay fine, well I'm going to the bar for drinks and dinner BYE

Bye.

And I put my phone back and look up and see Catherine leaving Jenna there.

She looks at me and I give her a smile which I think looks a bit weird. She ignores me and goes to some table at the Italian restaurant.

Jenna comes up to me and says "hey I'm sorry about that. But Catherine got kind of protective over me since I have a boyfriend"

I look at her shocked and think about it.

I forgot that she was dating some guy. She gives me a small smile and I smile back but inside I feel bad for telling Jeremy but then we both go to the table.

Jenna sits near Catherine and I look down until I hear Catherine whisper something to Jenna.

Jenna smiling and them hugging and I start thinking about what it would be like to hug Catherine. I start blushing.

She looks at me but ignores me and instead orders food when the waiter arrives at our table.

Catherine orders chicken breasts and Jenna orders salad and Pasta and I think about what to order. I see that there is pizza which isn't too big nor too small so I order that and we all order beer.

Jenna starts asking me about my family and about my roommate. I tell her about how my roommate was a man whore but was my best friend and I could trust him with anything. Since he was loyal, he truly cared and would always back me up financially.

She tells me how Catherine is a huge cynical romantic and she asks what I think about it.

I smile and say, what my mother had told me when I was younger, "well light cannot live without dark and dark cannot live without light"

I smile and see Jenna looks so proud and I look at Catherine who is blushing. She quickly begins to eat and Jenna tells me more about herself and her boyfriend and how they met. She also met her 4 ex boyfriends and I smile.

I start to think if Catherine has any exes and so I look at her and ask "so tell me about you Catherine?"

She just looks up at me with a neutral expression and says "I live in a small apartment and I have a pat cat, Felix. I have an older brother and father. My mother died when I was younger and my sister died after her."

I just stare at her and suddenly this wave of sadness overcomes me.

I start remembering my childhood and I look down at my pizza. Jenna starts a topic about her dog and Catherine's cat and I start telling her about my old pet dog that I had when I was a kid.

After 2 hours of talking and finishing our drinks and food, we leave the restaurant.

Jenna gives me her number and I give her mine and I see Catherine coming up to me. I think that this is the best time to ask for her number so I ask her. She smiles and gives it to me and inside I start cheering like a fangirl.

She asks about when I'll be at work tomorrow and I think if I have any meet ups. I tell her by 8 and she tells me that tomorrow will be a slow day so we can rest easy and I smile.

I open my arms and give her a hug and she hugs back and all I can think is 'WOW'.

When she lets go, I go to Jenna and hug her too and she whispers in my ear "make her trust again".

I nod and wave goodbye and walk to my car when I get a call and when I pick up.

I hear that familiar tone that I dread "wassup loser? Hahaha I'm just kidding!" I roll my eyes and say "hey bro"

I open my door and I start to sit. I hear something that makes me close the door "ya well dad said that you finally got a job! Great and you're working with that hot chick, Catherine"

I feel my fists clench and I scream into the phone "excuse me?! Don't talk about her like that!" I felt like punching the car but I held it in "aw you sensitive? Oh come on, that girl is out of your league anyway! I would know"

I feel all the air disappear "what the hell are you talking about?" I hear him laugh and say "I dated her for a few months. But we broke up because she was being a bitch and I got what I needed, if you know what I mean? I met her in college."

I close my eyes and hang up the phone and get in the car and hit the wheel, I let out a sigh that I didn't know I was holding in.

I just drive home and think 'I'm going to kill him'
