"And it's not a date." I added quickly before Kristin could get any ideas. "We'll then what is it?" She asked. I could hear the stubbornness in her voice. "It's a get-to-know-you-date, that's not a date." I used the same words that I used with Josh. Kristin paused, "What the hell is that?" I laugh, "It's a date that's not a date." "Wow thanks for clearing that off." Sarcasm was clear in her voice. "Well I don't know how else to put it. That's what it is. Plain and simple." "Plain and simple my ass." Kristin retorted. I laugh, and soon Kristin joined in. Accidentally, I look at the work that I still have to do and my laugh dies down immediately. "Hey Kristin. Do you remember that project I mentioned?" I ask her rhetorically. "The one with the douche?" "The very one." I respond.
