Sera maintained eye contact for a minute before backing up and heading towards her office. "Well… have a nice day."

"You too," He slid into the bathroom, trying to dry out his shirt. He grumbled under his breath and sighed.

Sera took a deep breath before throwing away her cup and sitting down in her office. After a little bit of boring work the CEO walked. "I've assigned you to a job. You will be working on it for the next 2 months with the loyal Nathan Lewis. You are scheduled to meet him in his office in half an hour. I wrote down the number on this post it.: He slapped a post it on her desk. "Thank you sir." Sera said, looking at the note.

He threw caution to the wind and went to his desk, ignoring the stain.

The half-hour went pretty quick and soon it was time for her to head over to her new partner's office. Sera walked over and knocked on the door.

"Come in," Nate called to the person, assuming it was his new partner. Who would catch him on the day he had coffee spilt over him. Great.

Sera heard a voice and walked in. Seeing it was the man she spilled coffee on she blushed. "Well this is a little awkward isn't it…"

He looked up and saw it was the woman who spilled coffee on him, "Just a bit."

"Well, um, I'm Seraphina. You must be Nathan." She approached him slowly and reached for a hand shake.

"Yeah, nice to meet you, Seraphina." He stood and accepted the handshake.

"So what exactly will we be working on?" Seraphina tried not to sound nervous.

"We file stuff, take spreadsheets, count numbers. All the fun stuff." He said with a tone of sarcasm.

"Sounds like a lot of fun." Sera sighed. "I'm just gonna say what we're both thinking. This is really awkward. Do you wanna go out to lunch or something later? Ya know, to break the ice? It will be much better to work together when it's.. less awkward."

"I mean, I was planning to pop home and change during my lunch break. Maybe tonight or tomorrow?" He sat back down.

"Tonight works." She wrung her hands and looked around. "And the changing, that makes perfect sense I mean why wouldn't you change?" Nervous laughter. "Here's my phone number so we can work together better. I better get to work now." Sera forced a smile, and walked out of the room.

(I've gtg, I should be on tomorrow though.)
"Right. If you need any help, you know where I am." He called after her. He typed her number into his phone and texted her 'Hi, it's Nathan.' so she'd have his.

Sera's head pounded. She put her fingers to her temples and thought hard. She knew this would be awkward, but despite everything she had a little bit of a crush on this guy. "What to do what to do…" She muttered.

Nate got back to work but in the back of his mind, he was thinking about meeting her tonight. For some reason that he couldn't quite place, he wanted to impress her.

Sera saw the text and answered back quickly. "Hi Nathan."

Nate heard his phone buzz and looked down at, "You can just call me Nate." He responded.

"Oh okay. If that's the case, you can call me Sera. It's easier anyway." She smiled to herself subconsciously.

"Okay. Where do you want to go tonight?" He quickly texted.

"I could always order pizza or something if you want to go to someplace more private and focus better." Sera worried she had made a mistake but hit send anyway.

He debated what to send before settling on, "You could come over to my place, I've got Netflix."
