[Somehow time crawls to a standstill and flies by all at once. Rey had finished work early, everything was well taken care of and her boss said she could leave early. Which meant texting Buck and inviting him to her home.
Things were going really well with him. He was kind, compassionate, funny and charming. He understood how hectic work could be at times. In her line of work it was either feast or famine. Either a project was wrapping up or kicking off, which made it hard to date at times. Sure, working in IT allowed Rey to earn a good living, but it was mentally taxing at times. It left very little time to date, and even then it felt like she didn’t click with anyone.
There was the temptation to contact her ex, but thankfully she didn’t. No, she managed to move ahead and met Buck…and she was happy. Not just going through the motions, but genuinely happy.
And honestly? Getting any texts from Buck makes me smile. It’s the highlight of her day. Even more so whenever he takes a photo with a cute cat. The text he sent gets a heart reaction to it. Rey had to download the photo to look at later.
Now, she just had to wait for him to come over. They were going to have a date night and sleepover for the next few nights. She wasn’t kidding when she told him that she wanted to spoil him. While Rey had a hard time spending money on herself beyond that of necessities, she was fine spoiling those close to her.
She was still tempted to buy tickets to the zoo to surprise Buck with, but held off. Instead she opted to buy groceries and clean up her place a bit more before he arrived.
The knock at her door makes her stomach flip, butterflies dancing around in excitement. She went to her door, opening it to see Buck was right there. There was a grin on her face, resisting the urge to pull him into a hug. ]
Hey! [ A quick side step to let him into her one bedroom apartment. It was pretty plain—not too many photos on the wall, a sofa and television in the living room. A kitchen that had a nice coffee maker and mixer. Coffee was life and she would be damned if she didn’t have at least three cups a day. ]
Please come in. How was work? [Rey was so focused on Buck, she completely over looked he had other items with him. ]
