Probably not the best time...

I decide to let her have her privacy. I don't think it would be very nice to ask about her life outside of the office yet. I mean this is supposed to be a fake relationship, even if I'm feeling very attracted to her. More so than many of my other girlfriends. Hell I don't think I've ever felt this attraction for someone in my entire life. So I'm not going to ruin it by prying right off the bat.

Mel directs me to get on the BQE, over the bridge to Staten Island. From there it was across the Staten Island Expressway to the Outer Bridge Crossing, and south on the New Jersey Turnpike.

For music I plug in my Ipod, letting it play in shuffle mode. Motley Crue's Dr. Feelgood comes on first which we both sing to as I fly down the highway and then over the bridge.

As we leave the toll booth in Staten Island "Sweet Child O' Mine" hit and we are lost in the song both of us singing it. Though Axl's usually hurt my throat after a while, this time I kept it together. I feel her hand on my Stick hand, and risk a glance at her as she sings. Her head is back on the head rest and singing near perfectly. Her face serene, as though she doesn't have a care in the world.

It is at that moment that I realize that I am falling for Mel, truly falling for her.

I just hope I can keep it together and don't scare her off before winning her heart.
