"Hey you! Quick catch – if I were a letter, I'd be 'U'!"
You would be a Uhh Uhhh letter...
"Uhh... Uhm... You're cute when you're stumped!"
No rockette i'm just trying to figure out what your saying lol
"I've been watching you from my cube. You seem nice and I thought maybe we could spend some time together outside of the office."
Oh ok sure come by around 7ish i'll cook dinner and we can hangout?
"That sounds great! I can't wait to get to know you better, Miller."
-i smile- cool see you at 7
Rockette bounces back to her cube, excitedly typing an email to invite Miller to dinner at her place instead "Subject: Change of plans - Dinner at my place tonight?" "I hope you don't mind, but I've had a change of heart. I'd love to cook for you instead!"
Alright changed to rockette place it is. See you soon
Rockette rushes home and starts preparing for the evening, meticulously cleaning and decorating her apartment
soon i knock on your door ready to hangout
Rockette opens the door, wearing a beautifully ironed dress and a big smile on her face "Hi Miller! Come on in! Make yourself at home. Can I take your coat?"
No your good i brought spaghetti by the way so we can cook together how about that?
"That sounds wonderful! I love a man who can cook. Let's team up in the kitchen and create something delicious together."
Heck yea lets make it spicy im sick of the same old boring stuff
(Rockette and Miller spend the evening cooking together, laughing and talking as they prepare the spaghetti.
Hey any good TV shows or movies lately you like?
"Actually, there is this new show that just came out called 'Rooftop Romance'. It's about two people who meet on a rooftop and fall in love.
Im gonna watch it because now your here lol i wink playfully
Rockette blushes and playfully rolls her eyes "Oh you're smooth, Miller. But don't think you're getting off that easily. I'll be keeping an eye on you!"
I'll be good dont worry lol but seriously thank you again for letting me over i had a great time!
"It was my pleasure, Miller. I had a great time too. And hey, if you want to come over again, just give me a call.
Oh you got it okay we will definitely plan that again soon ive enjoyed our time. Also hey can i walk you home?
Rockette giggles and playfully bats her eyelashes "Oh Miller, you're such a gentleman. I would love for you to walk me home."
Nice! Come on im gonna walk you home
As they walk, Rockette feels a sense of contentment and happiness wash over her. She can't help but smile as she looks at Miller, feeling grateful for this new friendship.
So hey rockette hows your day been at the office? Hows work going?
Rockette frowns slightly as she thinks about her job "Well, to be honest, work has been a bit stressful lately.
Really? Whats been going on?
"Well, there's something I haven't told you. Lately, there have been some rumors going around at work about budget cuts and potential layoffs.
Layoffs?!? Are you saying your job is in danger?
"I'm not saying it, but it's definitely a possibility. The thought of losing my job is terrifying, Miller.
Well you won't ill tell you why in a few seconds. But before that i gently take your hand in mine heres why im telling you this now i look deep into your eyes because im completely head over heels for you rockette and im scared of losing you and that thought brings me a lot of fear. Now, im gonna tell you why your not losing your job
Rockette blinks in surprise, taken aback by Miller's confession "Miller... I... I don't know what to say..."
Rockette takes a deep breath, composing herself "Okay, I'm listening. Please, tell me more about why you think I won't lose my job."
Well i found out that when a certain amount of employees reach a milestone they get kept. Thats what happened last time and we both made it so now it means our jobs are safe
Rockette's eyes widen in shock as she realizes the implication of what Miller just said "Wait... are you saying that we both reached a milestone? Does that mean... our jobs are safe?"
Yeah thats exactly what im saying. Now i didn't wanna scare you with bad news so i hid it until i found out for sure
Rockette throws her arms around Miller, hugging him tightly "Oh Miller, you have no idea how relieved I am! Thank you so much for finding out and telling me.
Of course its company policy for higher ups to let us know, but its usually hard to find out beforehand so yeah its quite the feat you and i reached the milestone
Rockette steps back from the hug, still smiling, and reaches out to hold Miller's hands "Miller, you truly are an amazing person.
