Lying down on the sofa, I groan as I flip through the channels once more.

Absolutely nothing was on television tonight and I was dying of boredom.

Here I was, on a Saturday night, lying in my seat on the sofa, with absolutely nothing to do.

This is apparently what my life had come to.

Who am I kidding, my life was always like this.

Monotonous and bleak.

That is until Alexander came into my life.

A groan escapes past my lips as my mind wanders to him.

It always does in the end, no matter how hard I try for it not to.

Just the thought of what had progressed in his office the day before leaves me a hot mess.

Whenever I'm around him I feel like a silly schoolgirl with a crush, but the thing is that I don't mind.

I'm happy with the way things are.

Neither Alexander nor I have discussed our relationship, if you could even call it that.

After our numerous kisses here and there, we both parted ways and went back to working individually.

And that was that.

We hadn't seen each other since then and didn't discuss the issue any further.

To be honest I was scared.

I only ever had my first ever real boyfriend in college and we barely even progressed into getting serious before we both called it quits and knew it was better to be friends than anything else.

I didn't even know if Alexander wanted a serious relationship or not.

Maybe he just wanted to have a little fun.

I wasn't the girl for that sort of thing and he definitely knew it.

Maybe that's why he never said anything else afterwards.

Maybe he just wanted a release from some pent up tension.

The thought made my stomach twist in painful knots and churn uncomfortably.

I'm just working myself up.

It's probably completely nothing.

What scared me the most though was that in the beginning I simply wanted to focus on my work and that's it but now I can't even focus on that because of Alexander being near me all the time.

Even if he's not there physically, he still lurks in the corner of my mind making me think of all the possibilities that could pan out into play.

Just the sound of his name left me all giddy like and I knew that to me he just wasn't my incredibly handsome boss anymore.

Why couldn't everything just be easier and I could just live my life out with ten or more cats.

The rumbling of my stomach finally makes me get up from the sofa where I then head over into the kitchen.

Opening the fridge door, I scan through the various items.

Why do I have literally nothing in my fridge?

Looks like someone will be going grocery shopping.

Just as I reach over into the fridge to grab a yogurt, the ringing of the bell and then a knock on the door stops me short.

Who the hell would be visiting me?

Marching over to the door, I look through the little peephole and stop when I see who it is.

What the hell is he doing here?

Dread washes over me in waves as he knocks once more.

He can't see me like this, I'm a total mess.

I look like I've just hopped out of the grave or something.

The knocking of the door resonates through the room once more and I can tell he's getting impatient.

Taking a deep breath to muster enough strength, I swing open the door.

Alexander beams at me as he leans down and pecks me on the lips.

While I just stand there staring at him like the idiot I am.

Alexander looks soul achingly good in one of his custom made suits, this one a dark blue almost black colour that made me want to devour him then and there.

Snapping my thoughts out of the direction they were going, I had a hard time keeping my eyes on his face instead of trailing all over his body.

Especially now that I know what he looks like without a shirt, all muscle and chiseled to perfection.

"You mind letting me in?." Alexander says amused.

Before I can even answer, he lightly shoves me backwards and closes the door behind him.

"What are you doing here?" I question back still not fully present in this world.

"I felt bad for making you cancel that date of yours," he starts to say but stops at my pointed look, "okay maybe that was a lie but I want to take you out." He says grinning.

Looking down at my attire and then his, I look back up at him.

"Take me out where?"

"That is for me to know and you to find out. Now hurry up I don't want to be late for our date."

Wait what?

Date?

He notices the wide eyed look I give him and he nods.

"Yup now hurry up and take that fabulous backside of yours into your room to change. Unless you need my help of course, I don't mind at all."

Scowling at him, I quickly rush into my room and slam the door closed, making sure to lock it, not even being discreet about it.

His laughter can be heard throughout my apartment and I smile as a warm unidentifiable feeling courses through me.

The whole situation catches up to me and I start to freak out.

Why do I have delayed reactions to everything?

Here I was one minute thinking Alexander wanted to avoid me at all costs so that he wouldn't have to explain our whole 'relationship' going on, even if we did make out and him confess he has some sort of feelings towards me, and then the next, him barging into my apartment, forcing me to get ready so that he could go and take me out on a date.

Okay maybe the forced part was a bit over the top since I would gladly go out with him.

But the whole turn of events left me reeling, in a good way.

Maybe I could get some answers out of him and discuss everything.

Or maybe I was thinking too much about the whole situation.

All I know is that those are a lot of maybe's

"You might want to hurry up babe, we can't be late for our reservation."

Babe

He clearly wants to send me to an early grave.

Curse him.

With a huff, I delve into my closet looking for something to wear for the date to come.
