The Day Is Getting Better

"Too bad about the meeting," she said softly in a joking tone before giving his arm a squeeze.

"I really appreciate you letting me stop by. And not kicking me out when I fell and made an idiot out of myself. I tend to do that sometimes." She grinned again as they walked towards the door.

Her mind went to the clothes that she had with her, and she grimaced. She'd have to ask Nicole if she could suggest a place for her to go shopping; nothing she had was good enough for tonight. It was too southern, too Louisiana. She needed something that would pop, and draw his eye.

Turning back to him, she leaned in and pressed her lips to his cheek as the car drove up.

"I can't thank you enough, Blake."

Blake lowered his head when she kissed his cheek, he tried to contain his happiness at her act and keep a professional demeanour whilst in the office. 

When he saw the car pull up outside the building, his heart deflated. "It was my pleasure Sookie" he assured her. "I shall pick you up at 6? Sam's place?" he asked unsure of what her plans were,

She nodded happily and reached out to squeeze his arm as she moved to the car. She cast a glance over her shoulder at him and gave a small smile and wave as the door opened.

"I will see you at six, Sam's place. Don't be late." She grinned again and slid into the car, watching the door shut behind her and cut her off from him.

She gave the driver Sam's address and settled into the seat, that silly smile still on her face.
