Derek kisses Kalin's cheek as the car pulls up in front of the restaurant. He opens the door and climbs out while holding out his hand for Kalin to take, "Come on, lets get you that Mac and Cheese."
After they walk into the restaurant and at sat at Derek's usual table, he looks up at Kalin and smiles, "I still remember the first time I brought you here. You were so stubborn."
Kalin thinks for a moment and then shrugs, "I'll try what he's having. . . With sweet tea. Need something to keep myself sweet when dealing with this guy all day." He grins at the waitress, laughing softly.
Derek drums his fingers on the table with a wicked grin as the waitress giggles and walks away, "I like being able to have our relationship in the open, no more hiding what we really want to say or do."
Kalin snorts softly, "I bet you the staff here knew the whole time. The fact that we came here like clock work every Tuesday just me and you and never once mentioned work?" He snickers.
"I just wanted to protect you. Remember, my father was still very much involved with everything back then." Derek reaches out with one hand to hold Kalin's.
Derek smiles and leans forward while bringing Kalin's hand to his lips. He presses a soft kiss to the back of Kalin's hand and smiles, "I wish I had done things differently. I wish I had taken you out and asked you out properly."
Derek playfully glares at Kalin before laughing a little, "Yeah. You see, when I hired you, I had already found you very attractive and when you moved up the ranks to be my assistant, I started to focus even more on working out. I wanted to impress you, but I thought you didn't notice me."
Kalin laughs, "Well, it worked. You certainly gained my attention. It was almost impossible for me to stop staring. Especially when you wore your suits."
Derek chuckles and looks down, "Do you have any idea how hard it was to not stumble over my words every time I had to say something to you? I would take extra time to calm myself down in my office before walking out to you."
