Ben drove us to the nearest supermarket, and we got started on shopping. I needed some more protein to aid my workouts. I don't do shakes, so eggs and fish were all I needed…with some fruit.
"Are we forgetting anything?" Ben asked.
"Just the ice cream," I said.
We selected some of the ice cream and I even got some vanilla for myself. Ben realized that he didn't get bananas as part of the fruit he selected, so he went back to get them.
"Ethan?" a familiar voice called.
I turned and saw Natasha. It was my first time seeing her dress so informally. Sweatpants and a t-shirt, covered with a hoodie.
"Natasha," I couldn't help getting into character as we were no longer in the office.
It's like my body had automatically realized that if we weren't in the office, then I was Ethan.
"You look good," I said as I took another look at her outfit. "Giving me the princess who ran away from home vibe."
"I wish that was the case," she sighed and walked toward me.
Her eyes scanned my face. "I've been thinking, did your eyes always look this light in color?" she asked.
"My eyes? I don't really know," I replied.
"They're pretty," she said with a smile.
"Thank you," I smiled genuinely happy about the compliment although it wasn't really meant for me. "But yours beat mine any day or time."
"As they should," she said with a proud look on her face.
"What brings you here?" I asked.
She looked left and right, then slowly lifted her shirt, showing off her stomach. "Workouts. Needed protein."
"You work out?"
"Parent's orders. Once again, another thing I didn't mind they made me do," she said as she lowered her shirt. "Keeps the body in shape and easy to handle duringfun times."
I remembered how easy it was for me to hold her down and her waist. I smirked at the memory and judging by how she smiled in return, I could tell that I wasn't the only one thinking about that night.
"What brings you here?" she asked in return.
"Well, I…"
"I got the bananas. Hopefully the ice cream is still frozen," Ben said as he approached us.
I completely forgot about that.
"Oh, hello. Dr. Natasha James, right?" he greeted.
"Hello Ben," she greeted warmly. "Feels a little awkward. Seeing both my blind date and date sponsor at the same place."
Crap.
"You followed your dream and chased after the woman you wanted?" she asked.
"I even got the woman," Ben said with pride. "Are you chasing after the man you wanted?"
"Well, things are looking good, right, Ethan?" she asked.
