sugar.” Conrad nodded his head at her as he sat back down.
“Thank you.” She straightened her back and turned back facing her computer. “Oh, and F.Y.I, I’m not having lunch with you.”
“That’s what you think.” He responded.
“No, that’s what I know.”
“Why? Scared?” He chuckled.
“What? Of you? No.” She retorted.
He leaned in closer. “I’ll tell you all about the ‘Messo’ and the nasty sexual things people like me do there.” He smiled a Cheshire cat grin at her, goading her.
“I know all about men like you Sergeant Ren...”
“Conrad.” He cut her off. “If I’m going to share my dark secrets with you over lunch...you can call me Conrad.” He was still smiling. He knew he was getting to her.
“I know all about you Conrad.” She leaned over and whispered his name. “You like the thin blonde bimbos with big tits and collagen filled lips so they can suck you off after you’ve whipped them raw like the little pain sluts they are.” She sat back in her chair. “I have no interest in hearing that.”
“I only deliver what they say they want.” He rested his elbow on her desk, “What do you want Addie?”
She tilted her head and looked him straight in the eyes. “So you don’t deny it?”
“Nope.” He answered smiling again. “Now answer my question.”
“What do I want?”
“Yes.”

“Do you want me to shut up? Or tell you?” He was smirking at her now.
“You have got to be the most infuriating man I have ever met.” Addie Sighed.
After smiling at her for a moment and staring each other down at the same time, Conrad flipped through his binder and they got to work changing a few things and updating his assignment history at the bottom. Before they knew it, they’d finished up and it was just a few minutes to twelve.
“Time for lunch sugar.” Conrad smiled as he got up from the chair, closed his binder and got up waiting for Addie.
“Indeed it is.” She answered as she pulled her ID card from the keyboard, locking the computer. She turned around and saw that he was waiting for her in the entryway to her cubicle. “You were serious?”
“Indeed I was.” His smile got brighter.
“But...”
“Scared?”
“This again? I’m having dejavu.” She smiled sarcastically back, then reached down opening the bottom drawer where she collected her purse, and then grabbed her phone.
“If it’s dejavu with me, then it’s always worth repeating.”
Addie stood there rolling her eyes at him. “Well, let’s get this torture over with.”
“Honey...torture with me is well worth the time.” He smiled as he turned and walked down the walkway to the waiting room and out toward the main building parking lot toward his truck, Addie right behind him.
Neither said anything as they made their way to his truck in the parking lot. He hit the key fob and unlocked it, tossed his binder in the back seat and got in behind the wheel. Addie stood by the passenger side door for a moment as she put her big sunglasses on. Conrad looked over as he slipped
