Samurai Knight Ep1. Part3

 Dan walked out of the doctors office, he was carrying a small bag with his new sleeping medicine, he folded the bag and put it into his green fanny pack. then he hugged his jacket and started walking.
 It was nearly christman in Washington thus it was very cold. Each breath he took gave a white fog out of his mouth. Dan kept walking even though he was tired, he yawned and strached his body. 
 his bones ached and his joints cracked, he sighed heavily once more.

 I can`t take this any more......I`m tired....I`m in pain.....

 Dan ignored his inner voice and he kept moving. He did not want to die...not yet. that much he knew, when he tried for the first time, he hesitated and he was scared through out the ordeal.
 No matter how much he seemingly wanted death....he knew that was a lie.

 He stopped at a crosswolk, waiting for the red light to turn green. He tried to think of something else and started whistling "winter" one of vivaldi`s four seasons. He thought it would be funny to do so since it was winter.
 He only whistled the main violine part so he did not think anyone would get it but he didn`t mind. he was only going to whistle until the light turned green.

 "Is that Winter? from Vivaldi`s four season?"

 A lady`s voice came from behind, Dan turned as he stoped his whistling abruptly, He recognized the voice of said lady.

 "Stacey?" 

 Stacey Snow, the finance secretary, was wearing a white fur coat and ugg boots with heels. Her coat was zipped up to her chest showing a bit of clivage, most likely on perpous.
 She looked at Dan with a inviting look with a hint of dissapointment.

 "That was such a good toon. Where did you learn to whistle that good?"

 She said as she stood next to Dan and held his arm, rubbing her chest at it. Dan laughted inwardly, this situation that should belong in a generic anime plot was laughable to see it take place in the real world. It was a surreal feeling to be part of. 

....Dan. The first great step to improve is....you have to move on. I`m sorry about your wife but as a doctor I just have to say it. You need to find a new women...

 Anders word echoed in his head and Dan frowned at those words. Not because He disagreed with it, but because he agreed with it. What Anders said was the truth. He needed to move on, he needed to find new people, a new women to love....Alexsandria would have wanted that too......

 Dan moved his arm arround Stacey`s hip. slowly and made sure he didn`t make her feel uncomfertable. She looked at the move he made then looked up with a smile, the bunny like cuteness in her was heartworming....even if she was a bimbo by definition.
 Don`t get me wrong, she was an excellent finance officer but aside from that she did have a dumb side and she was kind and worm but she was also frivolous adn extreamly slutty, in fact, she was selfaware of this to a degree.
 On one after party we had, she got drunk and told Dan in her words that she was in fact a huge bimbo.  Quote she said "if you told me that anal sex prevented her hair going grey I would let you put it up my ass"
 Dan lost words when she said that and fortunetly she never mentioned that agian, and given how drunk she was, it was very likely she forgot. It made Dan very unconfertable to be around her but at the same time it facinated him.
 it kept him both close and away from her. but now....

 "Why, you haven`t been this touchy before. Whos side of the bed did you wake up from today, eh Dan?"

 "Oh, I just thought, maybe I do wanna get touchy...maybe..."

 "Dan? is that you?"

Stacey said laughing as she hugged his chest, which made Dan half smile. It made him feel...happy. 

 "It is. In the flesh as they say,.....Stacey. Would you lik-" 

 "Yes." 

 "Eh? Um, yes?" 

 "You were ganna ask me out right? Yes, I'd love to Dan." 

 Dan froze and locked his gaze onto her, not noticing that the light had turned green. Dan didn't know why, it was odvious that she would agree, but he thought that she would reject him...
 
 Am I really hating myself that much? 

 Dan asked himself and he didn't answer, didn't know how to....

 "Dan? Hello? Is there something on my face?" 

 Dan came out of his daze, realized that he was staring and making her feel uncomfortable. And to top it all off the light was red once more. 

 "I'm sorry. I wa-was just-" 

 Stacey kissed his nose and giggled like a little girl who just pranked someone. 

 "Relax Dan. Feel don't think." 

 She said then gave Dan a huge hug, nuzzling her face. 

 "I may not be the brightest light bulb in the box, Dan. But we've worked together long enough for even me to know that your feelings show up on your face like a child.
 You're a brave man Dan, especially after what had happened to you. And I love brave men." 

 "....I'm no brave man, Stacey....a fool is what I am..." 

 Dan said tearing up.

 "Dan....?" 

 "I'm just a reack Stacey. Hehe, I'm a fool not knowing what step to take yet keeps on thinking on how to take five." 

 "Hehe. That dose sound foolish. But bravery and foolishness are both sides of the same coin. 
 And you may think you're foolish Dan but I think you're brave." 

 Stacey said smiling as she wiped a tear off of Dans left eye. Dan smiled back. His emotions changing like waves on a rough storm. He took a deep breath. 

 "how dose dinner sound Stacey? I know a good French restraint we can go to." 

 "Sure, this will be fun. "
