I open the email and hit reply.
Mr Spencer
I cannot think of one good reason why I should
want to go out with you. My answer is no.
Lottie.
I look left then right and hit send.
A reply hits my inbox in an instant.
Dearest Lottie,
You are mistaken
I can think of at least thirty reasons why you should go out with me.
Spencer.
Poor, conceited fool.
Mr Spencer,
Name them.
I hit send and smirk against my coffee cup.
I answer a few emails, and then another reply comes back.
Lottie,
Although I have many obvious attributes, I will
happily oblige your request.
1 – I have white teeth.
2 – I love my grandma.
3 – I bake delicious cakes.
4 – I have blonde hair like you, we could dress as twins on fancy dress.
I giggle before I catch myself.
5 – I don’t tell lies.
6 – I like naughty kittens.
I put my hand over my mouth and close the email before I laugh out loud.
This man is an idiot. Can’t he at least pretend to be cool. I head to the bathroom to try and calm myself before I go back to my desk and open the email again.
7 – I am a size 13 shoe.
You work out what that means.
