Over The Cubicle Chronicles: I Think It's Love

Jeffrey has been seeing Ian about a month now.  They only see each other once a week because of their schedules but each date has been more amazing than the one before.


Ian says he wants to take it slow to make sure it's real, they've both had failed relationships in the past so it makes perfect sense. But Jeffrey is ready to push the fast forward button on this relationship.


Jeffrey hears Brooke entering her cubicle.
"Good morning Brooke."


"Good morning Jeffrey."


Before Brooke could put her purse down Jeffrey plopped down in her visitor's chair. Smiling like a cat that just ate a canary.

"I take it you had another great weekend with Ian?"


"Girl, yes! I finally went to his house, he showed me around and he played the saxophone for me as I sat in his bedroom lounge chair.  Girl I could barely breathe!"


"And then?"


"Then I behaved and so did he. No hanky panky.  I think I'm being punked. This can't be real. If someone told me this was happening to them I'd say "LIES!"


Jeffrey heard the buzz of his phone from his cubicle and ran to get it.  Finally Brooke could at least put her purse down and log on to her computer.


 Not so fast!


Jeffrey reappeared with his phone in his hand and read a text from Ian:


"I just wanted to tell you that this weekend was amazing and I appreciate and am grateful for your friendship."


"FRIENDSHIP!" Jeffrey exclaimed.


"Where is the "I Love You" proclamation. Well I never!"


Brooke just smiled.


"Boy slow it down, that is a very nice text. He's letting you know he appreciates you."


Text him this: "This weekend was incredible and I hope there will be many more to come. I am appreciative of your friendship as well, have a great day."


Jeffrey typed the text and pushed send, then smiled and said to Brooke:


"I guess you're my Cyrano de Bergerac."


"Who?"


"Cyrano de..... The guy from Shakespeare who doesn't know how to talk to the woman he loves so he has someone hide and do it for him. Anyway, you're gonna be my Cyrano. You my darling will get that ring on my finger. Believe that!  Do they allow same sex marriages in DC?"


Jeffrey went to his cubicle to do some research on the topic.


"Boy Bye!"
