He told her he was, and then crossed behind her desk, kneeling next to her, his arm draped across the back of her chair. The knee closest too her tingled at the slightest brush of the worn denim that covered her legs, his right arm warmed with the heat from her back, and neck. Her calmingly spicy scent filling his nose, with traces of lavender and vanilla assaulting his senses like a skilled opponent.  Tatem�s whole being shivered, she could feel the energy around her change the instant he walked behind her. She stayed keenly aware of everywhere he was, the slight brushes of him against her. They looked through 6 rolls worth of proofs deciding on six shot�s all together that they could use in the piece. He rose easily out of the kneeling position he was in, grabbing his bag, slinging it over his shoulder. Tatem, extended her hand to him, and thanked him for being such a wonderfully patient subject, and impromptu dance partner. John headed towards the door, and paused suddenly turning around.

�Tatem, I know this is very unusual, and I completely understand if you say no.� he swallowed, his palms sweating like he was fifteen and asking for his first date, �Would you maybe interested in having dinner with me tonight? I don�t have anything to do, and it�d be nice to have some company, unless your boy friend would mind.�
Tatem�s eyes bugged a little as her face tinged a deeper shade of pink, �I would love to that is very nice of you. What time should I come pick you up?�

�Oh not necessary, I�ll come and pick you up, and we�ll go from there, say eight?� he smiled nervously.

�Eight it is, but I could really pick you up it�s not a big thing.� She stated again while writing down her address, and home number on the back of her business card.

�Nope I insist I�ll come get you.� He took a step towards the door �Besides if I didn�t and my Gram found out she�d skin me alive.�

She walked with him to the elevator. He took the small piece of stiff paper immediately putting it into his wallet, as the doors parted so he could step inside. He smiled at her again, saying that he�d be there at eight to get her.

�By the way, there is no boy friend.� Tatem slid the statement in knowing the doors were closing, �Thought you�d like to know.� 


As soon as the doors closed, she counted to ten and then began jumping up and down, almost knocking Cat down as she passed by.

�I have a date tonight with,� she took a deep breath �The WWE CHAMP!�

John was about half a floor down when he heard Tatem�s exuberant squeal coming into the elevator. A huge grin lit up his face, he knew today was going to get better.
