Best radio host imitation or no, David was no patsy and plus what sort of a good boyfriend would he be if he didn't recognize his own girlfriend's voice? Shit, that's what.
There was a lengthly pause, and finally David replied, though there was no way he could hide the smile in his voice. "I'm good. So I answered your question, sexy. What's my prize?"
Belinda laughed a bit, shaking her head a little bit and leaning against the outside of her building. "Dinner?" she suggested, with a grin. "And dessert. But that comes after dinner."
She moved away from the building after a moment, starting in the direction of David's office. "So pick me up, let's get some dinner," she said to him, still with a grin on her face. "And you can tell me all about whatever's going on," she added, almost gently.
Continuing to smile, David walked the last few feet to his car and unlocked the trunk, tossing his briefcase into it before shutting it and unlocking the doors, settled in behind the wheel.
"I thought you'd never ask." He teased, almost desperately glad that she hadn't told him she had some Zen rock garden class tonight or that it was Obscure Country Day at the Y and they were going to make sheep cookies with turnip icing. Starting his car, David's unoccupied hand lifted to the steering wheel, fingertips tapping idly. "I'm on my way." He replied, "and just to give you fair warning, I plan on grilling you relentlessly about your day."
"Well, I'll tell you right now - not that interesting. One of our business clients had a severe outage and we spent a lot of the day figuring that out. Milton bumped into my desk and knocked over my Millenium Falcon, but no worries. I think a bit of superglue should work just fine."
She didn't get more than a block from her building before she stopped to wait for David. "I'm outside my work," she reported, peeking at the contents of a news stand while she waited. "Ooh, I didn't get this month's Geek Magazine," she murmured, more to herself than to David, reaching for said magazine and paying for it.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, was why David Fisher adored Belinda Harris. Work was done, hell all of those idiot clients, co-workers and the endless mounds of paperwork were now pushed back so far they were barely recognizable. All that mattered was the car that he had backed out and was now driving down to the garage exit and onto the main road and the wonderfully sexy woman that waited for him not more than a dozen blocks away, and the fact that she hadn't gotten the current issue of Geek Magazine.
Adoration.
Managing to turn out onto the side street, David guided the car into the left turn lane at a red light and smiled. "Where else would you buy Geek Magazine except for on the outskirts of Darnassus?" As the light turned green, David followed in line with the other cars and turned onto Lafayette.
Belinda, unaware of how adored she was at that very moment, got the change from buying the magazine and thumbed through it - phone held between her shoulder and ear, space ship under one arm and the other hand holding and flipping through the magazine, bending it back so she could read an article without dropping things or tipping over.
"I love when you talk nerdy to me," Belinda laughed a little bit, biting her lower lip. "You know, I was surprised as hell to find out you even knew about Darnassus," she added, grinning a bit.
David grinned as he eased his car along at a snail's pace, contending with every other commuter/taxi driver and bus in the whole city.
"You're the one who brought it up." He said, hearing the struggle and rubbing of her phone -- no doubt his girlfriend was once again multitasking her little heart away. "I thought Darnassus was some elf paladin artichoke with revenge in his heart." The car ahead of him turned left and David was able to actually press on the gas for a change. That is, until he was met with yet another red light.
