We're Gonna Make It ~ 3
"Will you hurry up already," Toby said impatiently. "How long does it take
to get a coat on?"
"Oh shut up. Can't you see that I'm also putting files into my briefcase?"
CJ held up her briefcase, and demonstrated what she was doing.
Toby rolled his eyes. "Women," he mumbled.
"I heard that," she said as she slipped on her coat and walked to the door.
She hit his arm as she passed him.
"Ouch! What was that for?"
"You're sexist, you know that?"
He shook his head and looked up and mouthed, "Help me."
"Hello? Can we please leave now," CJ asked, getting a bit impatient
herself.
"Yes. We could have left ten minutes ago, but you were too busy doing
nothing."
"Toby Zachary Ziegler, you can be such a pain in the--"
"Ah ah ah. No bad words, young lady," he teased. "Come on, let's go."
They headed out to Toby's car.
Ten minutes later......
"How on earth does this happen, Toby?"
He didn't give her a response.
"How do you lock your keys in the car? I mean, how stupid can a person
get?!"
"CJ, you're starting to give me a headache," he said as he tried to open the
locked door.
"I'm calling AAA," CJ said. She got out her cell phone and glared at Toby.
Five minutes later.....
"You and your pride," she said as they got into the now unlocked car.
"What? He was being a smart ass."
"Toby he was telling you that you should be more careful in the future. How
is that being a smart--"
"No bad words."
"But you--"
"CJ." He said as he looked at her.
"Fine, fine." She looked out the window. "Men," she muttered under her
breath.
Toby pulled over to the side of the road. "What was that," he asked,
looking at her.
"Nothing. Can we go now?"
"CJ, you are so...so..."
"I'm so-so?" She looked at him. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"I was going to go on. You're so..." He looked at her. "Weird. You're so
weird," he said, even though he wanted to tell her how beautiful she was
when she was in a mood.
"I'm weird? You're the one who keeps telling people off. You are the one
who yells at a person who is trying to help us. If I'm weird, then
you're...you're..."
"You're-you're?" He gave her an odd look. "What does that mean?"
"Will you let me finish?!" She said, starting to get annoyed. "Anyway, if
I'm weird, you're strange." She wanted to tell him that when he yelled like
that, that he was so sexy. But she couldn't. She worked with the guy!
"Okay, whatever." He drove back into the traffic. "Thank goodness your
place is only five minutes away."
"Whatever." She stared out the window.
Twenty minutes later.....
"Why, why, oh why did you take this street," CJ asked, now very annoyed. "I
told you to take Grove. That is faster."
"I like this street," he said, trying to defend himself.
"Toby, look at the traffic! It's just like this morning!"
He muttered something in Yiddish.
"What?"
"I said, oy gevault." He knew she wouldn't know what it meant.
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know."
She burst out laughing. "You say that, and don't know what it means?" She
said in between laughs.
He couldn't help but to laugh a little himself. "Yeah, well, my dad used to
say it all the time. I guess I picked it up from him or something." He
turned his attention back to the road, which was starting to clear up.
"Thank goodness," she said when they got to her apartment. "I never thought
I'd see this place again." She looked at him. "Thanks for the ride."
"No problem. Do you, uh, need one tomorrow?"
"I think my car will be fixed by then, but thank you." She started to get
out of the car.
It was now or never. "CJ," he said before she completely got out.
"Yeah?"
"Do you want to have dinner tomorrow or something?" He knew he sounded like
a high school kid. Maybe Sam was right. Maybe he was falling for her.
She turned around and looked at him. "Sure." She smiled softly. "After
work?"
"Yeah."
"Okay." She got out of the car. "Thanks again, Toby."
"Sure."
She shut the car door and watched him drive away. Was Josh right? Was she
really falling for him? She felt like tomorrow was going to be her very
first date. She felt like a teenager. She unlocked her door and walked
into her apartment and took off her coat. She smiled. Yes, she was falling
for him.
He got home, made sure to take his keys out of the car this time, and went
inside his apartment. It was true. He was falling for CJ. He smiled
softly.
