Here’s your chance to ask her.

The voice was hers. She was standing in the doorway, wearing a pink shirt with white pants. Boy, she looks pretty.

Wait, focus. How much did she hear?

She can’t hear me.

That’s great for Beta, but sometimes I wind up talking out loud.

“Oh, I was referring when to do the next round of security patches. There’s a bunch to that need to be installed. I just have to figure out when the best time is.”

Good save.

She gave a tiny laugh. “I know, it can be embarrassing when people catch you talking to yourself. It has happened to me a few times.”

She bought it.

“I was stopping by to see if you want to get into the office lottery pool. Everyone puts in $5.00 dollars and we do a quick pick.”

“I’m in. I don’t want to be the only one left working here.” I started to reach for my wallet.

Mindi had worked her for a few months. She was back in the underwriting department. She was one of fourteen employees in underwriting.

“Oh, one more question. What are doing Sunday?”

    Very nice, you had me going that he was a complete chicken. I liked the quick, almost off-hand start to asking her out.

    Did he ask Mindi out, or did she ask him out?

    The line in the story is spoken by Mindi. I’m sorry for the confusion on it. At some point I will edit it to make it clearer. One other clarification, you might want to read the next Ficlet to see what the question is.
