''So you are going on a date with Matt, huh?" Jenna asks with a smirk on her face and watching me as I clean up and re-do my makeup

"It's not a date, we're just going out for dinner" I say while applying my mascara.

Jenna laughs and says "I thought you hated him, so why are you going out for dinner with him?"

I smile and say "for free food"

Jenna looks at me shocked and smiles and says "that can't be the only reason, right?"

I laugh and turn to look at her and say "You're right, I'm not going out for dinner with Matt just for free food"

Jenna smiles

"I am also going out for free drinks" I continue to say

Jenna looks at me in anger and says "wow you are one special woman" I laugh and continue to do my makeup.

I go to my office with Jenna and see Matt sitting at his desk blushing. I just sigh and go to my office and close the door and continue to work.

When it becomes 7pm I get a knock at my door and Jenna and Matt walk in.

Jenna sits on my sofa and Matt continues to stand, I hold up my finger and say "one moment"

I finish the mail I was writing and send it and I look up at Matt who still looks like he's blushing or nervous.

We all walk out of and I wave goodbye to Jenna and turn to Matt and ask "so where are we going for dinner?" Matt looks at me, flustered.

"w-we can go to the r-restaurant we went to when I first c-came here"

I smile and we walk to the restaurants together.

We get a nice seat inside near the window and I look out and watch the people walk by while Matt orders the food for us

'He's nervous' I think. He has been blushing and acting nervous around me 'poor boy'

After ordering he walks to the table and sits across from me. I rest my chin on my hands and my elbows on the table; Matt rests his hands on his lap and looks at me and back down to his hands

I sigh 'he actually is nervous, I feel bad for him' I try to break the silence so I ask "so are you liking the office?"

he looks up at me and says "ya I really like the office, especially the people there"

I smile and we chat for some more time about the office

"I got to know, what makes you a cynical?" matt asks, we had gotten our food and drinks.

"well I guess it's the fact that I don't believe in true love and fairy tale crap like that?" I say

Matt stares at me

"look love is pathetic. It's just a word for 'let's hang out with each other until one of us dies' plus its boring" I continue to say.

I explain and Matt watches me I continue to say "love gets you hurt and it's a huge waste of time and money"

"What about sex?" Matt asks while blushing, this guy is hopeless.

"Sex and love are two different things"

I say and Matt smiles with amusement and says "please enlighten me" I smile and get ready to give this guy a lesson

"Sex is lust, pleasure, greed and physical. Love is emotional, selfless, feeling and other bullshit. A person would spend a lot of money on love but they wouldn't spend the same amount on sex."

Matt stares at me, his eyes wide but a slight smile on his face, this guy even though he is hopeless and shy, he is kinda cute.

I guess if he asked me out, I would give him a chance

Wait! no. No I would not.

We chat for some more time and when we are down with our food and drinks we head to the parking lot where our cars are parked.

"um I guess I'll see you tomorrow" Matt says while holding the back of his neck, he's tired.

I nod and walk to my car but I feel someone grasp my wrist and pull me, I turn and I'm in Matt's chest.

WHAT?!

I feel Matt's arms wrap around me and he hugs me tighter, I don't pull back but I kind of feel awkward like this.

"oh sorry I j-just w-well u-umm I" I smile and move back

But my arms on his waist "don't worry, you're overwhelmed. Don't worry about it" I let go of his waist and walk to my car

I turn around and see Matt looking down at his hands and his face is shocked and he looks like he's sad

"See you tomorrow!" I scream and wave in hopes that he'll stop looking so sad, he looks up, smiles and waves back

I know he likes me, I have known since he texted me that night and I even when I first met him he looked so shy.

I don't want to hurt him, but his feeling for me will just keep growing with time and I won't be able to reciprocate them.

I care about him, I do but if he falls for me, he'll get hurt. Why is he so naive? He should just give up and find a girl who can treat him better.

He's summer and I'm winter. Alone we are beautiful but together we cannot exist.
