Sleep On It

The Meet Cute

I open my eyes

We are in a car

Doug is driving. Barbara is sitting next to him and I am in the back with Claire and Jo
Doug is our boss, and the others are my colleagues

Yes, colleagues
The people that I see every day
At work
And they are here with me tonight

Yay...

Unless...

Maybe one of them will get to die tonight?
I really hope that it's not Barbara, she is such a sweet lady

I wouldn't mind if it was Claire though
That woman has way too many cats

Doug parks in front of a building and we get off the car
I realize that we are all wearing fancy outfits

ME: Doug, why did you say we were here again?

Please say Barack Obama's birthday

DOUG: We are here for the annual company gala remember? We get to meet the employees from all the other branches. Make contact and socialize.

Damn you Doug
Now I hope you get to die too

I look at Claire
She still gets to die first though

We enter the building

DOUG: Me and Barbara are going to the managers' room. We'll meet you guys later. Have fun.

I look at them leaving, while me and the rest of the group enter the main room
We are immediately greeted by another of our colleagues, Fiona, and a very good-looking man

Very good-looking indeed

I feel like I've seen him before, but can't remember where
Oh well
It's probably Fate

FIONA: Hey guys. This is Brad, he is part of the Vancouver branch.
BRAD: It's nice to meet you all.
ME: Nice to meet you too Brad.

I wink at him
He looks away
I know he liked it

I see that Fiona is holding a big military bag
I wonder what could be inside

ME: What's in the bag Fiona?

She opens it
It's full of deodorant spray
