He was a bit surprised to hear that today was ‘great’. It didn’t seem that great a few hours ago when she left. He had said things to upset her and he didn’t mean to. But something must have happened that caused her to relax. Maybe she understood after thinking it over where he was coming from. He slide his watch back into his pocket and turned to leave… that was until she spoke her, what could best be taken as an invitation. 

His sharp blue eyes shot to her and watched her move through the apartment finding her small karaoke machine and set it up. Alright, alright; he got the picture. A small smile moved across his fine lips especially when her song began and she had chosen [i]You’ve got a friend in me.[/i] Waiting for a moment, he pulled off his white gloves and folded them elegantly before placing them into his pocket. Walking to the machine he picked up the additional microphone and joining in. Despite his quiet voice, James was quite a good singer and they finished the song together. 

Three songs in and the laughter took over as they were being too silly for their own good. By the end of the forth song he turned his attention to her, “I have to know, why do you want to be friends?” His voice held a bit of disbelief as he spoke turning off the microphone. “Being friends with your employee isn’t common…” He placed the microphone back on the stand and offered his hand to take hers. Not to mention it was now one in the morning.
