Page 7 of Call Me Yours

"Whew, that one was a doozy," she exhaled, taking off her headset and putting it on her desk next to her.

"What happened?" Elisa asked.

Esme sighed. "It was a bring your own device phone that was not working. I did the steps we have but in the end she needs to call the previous carrier to get the phone unlocked so it can work with us."

"Ah."

"Yeah. Well, she wasn't happy about that, but what am I going to do? I tried everything I could to get it to work. It's unfortunate because she was really nice."

"Aww that stinks. I'm sorry hun."

Esme shrugged. "What's up?"

"I'm on lunch for like, ten more minutes."

"Why don't you go talk to your friend Gage?" she teased, making Elisa begin to blush.

"Stop it!" she admonished her, gently pushing her friend's shoulder.Esme started to laugh, and loudly.

Elisa ducked down into Esme’s cubicle when she noticed Gage looking her way.

"Are you trying to draw attention to yourself?" Esme asked.

That sent her in to another round of giggles.

Ugh.Elisa rolled her eyes and stood up, making sure that Gage was not looking that way before she dashed to her desk.

She got there and saw a message from Esme, letting her know that she was a dork and she knew that Elisa liked him by how she was acting.

Oh shut up.She messaged her back; hearing Esme laugh from her desk.

"Oiy," she whispered, checking the time.

Five more minutes.

She sighed and played a quick game of solitaire before she got back on the clock.

Chapter Three

Gage sat at his desk, only half listening to what his customer was saying on the other end of the line.

When he heard his name he peaked up, trying to pay attention.However, the only thing he heard was, "Are you listening to me Gage?"He replied in the affirmative and the customer went on with their rant against the man.

He chuckled inwardly as the gentleman continued to go on and on.

When hisMessageMepopped up with a notification, he clicked on it and opened the message.

That girl you were talking to was pretty hot eh?

Gage rolled his eyes.

She is beautiful, yes.

He could almost hear Duncan roll his eyes from here.

Right. What did you say to her? Did you ask her out?

It was his turn to roll his eyes.
