"Mind getting some medicine for me?"
Joy, puzzled, asked, "If you're feeling under the weather, why not just hit up a clinic?"
Typical, cutting straight to the chase.
Austin replied, "How about you drive me to the clinic then?"
Joy muttered under her breath, thinking a small cough wasn't enough to hinder driving, and here was this grown man asking for a ride. But she kept those thoughts to herself.
"Alright, fine."
"Give me a sec then," Austin said, grabbing his jacket and heading downstairs with her.
The guy who had dropped Joy off was still waiting downstairs. Leaning against his car, Austin watched as Joy went to essentially ditch him.
The guy glanced over at Austin from afar, offering a knowing smile. The boss, after all.
When Joy finished and looked back their way, Austin reminded her, "Your bag."
"Oh, right!" Joy smacked her forehead and went back to retrieve her bag left in the car.
As they got into the vehicle, Austin casually asked, "Boyfriend?"
Joy flipped her hair back, chin up with pride, "A suitor, hehe."
Great. He goes away for a short while, and she's got a new admirer.
Austin crossed his arms, "Where'd you meet?"
"At a bar a few days ago," Joy boasted, "He was smitten at first sight, launched a full-on charm offensive. Flowers every day. I mean, can you blame him? I'm irresistible."
"And what about me?"
"What about you?" Joy was clueless.
"You're flirting with me while dining out with your admirer. Am I just another fish in your pond?"
At a red light, the car ahead braked sharply. Joy, a tad slow to react, nearly rear-ended them.
