“Yes because you’ll carry it up the stairs for me.” She said just as jokingly as they walked. Those things weight at least 600 pounds there’s no way he could get it up the stairs, much less actually mean it. As they walked down the pier to the dock she felt comfortable with him; safe, relaxed and herself, it’s hard to believe that she could feel this way around someone. It was a relief in itself considering she didn’t have much she could do outside of work. Maybe she found a friend, maybe she found more than a friend… [i]NO BAD SHARON![/i] She lectured herself as she turned her blue gaze to the ground. [i]You can’t think like this, if you get to close to him he could get hurt and you don’t want that![/i] Her mind had a point but her heart hated the idea.

When he got in front of her to pay for the tickets, she held her breathe and when he turned around she stared up at him in a bit of a surprise. Was this a date? NO WAY!! Someone like him doesn’t ask out a girl like her?! No, no no, no no no no no, [i]You’re thinking too much into this Sharon, he seems like an old fashion guy; this… this can’t be a date.[/i] Even her subconscious was questioning if it wasn’t, or was, a date [i]date[/i]. “Since you’re getting the tickets, would you like me to get us lunch?” She asked playfully as they started towards the small fairy that waited to take them across. Yeah she asked him out for lunch, but she hadn’t ate and he might not have either. Plus it was even more of a reason to spend time with him. Would he tell her no? Would he tell her that he’d pay for lunch too? If he did, then she’d have to classify this as a date, old fashioned or not, if a girl offers to pay that’s when the decision is made by the man whether it’s a date or not… right?
