I enter my apartment and closed the door behind me, I heading to my bathroom; I run a hot bubble bath and turn some music on to set my mood.

Today was so exhausting, I didn't want to work this weekend so I have to do all the work today to be free tomorrow and the day after, Arrow was busy looking over every project that we are working on at the moment. I was done before him so I said to him good bay and was ready to get the hell out.

I sink down into the water, surrounded by jasmine scent and Christina Aguilera song bond to you, with class of red wine. I was hum along with it when my thought toke me to this afternoon.

Flash back

******************

I fixed my hair because I messed it up a bit when I was doing some contract, it's the third time I been send to corrected because aberrantly Mr. Wetly will read the contract carefully and if he see something missing like a full-stop or comma or something like that he won't sign it, so anyway I fix it and grab the contract to give it to Arrow.

I knock on the door and enter when he say come in, I was still looking at the contract to make sure he won't send me again and say, "the contract is ready, this is the third time I corrected and I'm not going to do it again, god Arrow if you see that there is a comma is missing just say where is it, don't let me read it all over again for it." I even whine a bit, It's six pages.

When I look at him he wasn't looking at my face but at my chest, I look down to see that my shirt is pulled down and my boobs are shown, I quickly pull my shirt up to hid them.

"sorry" I said, my face probably look like tomato

He clear his throat and say, "it's okay, and don't worry I won't send you again to correct it" with a smirk "if I tell you when is it, where the fun Ella"

"you are enjoying my misery ?" I asked with playfully glare

"oh no, me never, but you look cute when you are, that's don't mean to be one." He said with wink sent in my direction , oh god did he just call me cute, I bite my lower lip to hide my smile, he look at my lips then my eyes, he then shake his head and say "now back to work, could you please bring me the Wesley project file."

I nodded and turn around to get him the file, I go to the files closet and look for it, I found it on the top floor, I try to reach it but I couldn't, god the only day I choose to wear no-heels boots, I turn around to tell him only to see him already looking at me, he rise one eyebrow in question.

"I can't reach it, he's on top's" I said and bite my lip, his looks at my lips then back at my eyes and I swear I saw lust in them but I couldn't know because he mask it quickly.

He clear his throat and stand up to made his way to where i was standing, and because I was so much in checking him out, I couldn't step aside because he was already in front of me so I take a step back and It was a mistake, I was trapped between his body and the closet, I was eye level with his chest, there was one or two inches between us before our body could touch, my breath quicken and my hand itches to run on his strong chest, I was breathing hard when he finally toke the file and look at me.

"you are working for me for two and half years now and I never saw you without your heels, well expect when we are flying, what change?" he said while looking at me, he didn't take a step back and I was having a hard time absorbing his word while he stand so close to me, so after a minute I said, " em... I ... was .... " I clear my throat then say " I didn't sleep well last night and I was too tired and lazy this morning for looking at my heels so I toke what's in front of me." I think it was just above a whisper, he only hmm in response.

we were standing there looking at each other eyes when he broke the eye contact to look at my lips, suddenly feeling them dry I run my tongue over them then bite down on my lower lip, his eyes were looking at every move and never stop looking at my lips, If I tilt my face just a little I would be able to kiss him and see what it's look like, I began to move my face when suddenly his phone ring breaking the trance we were in it.

He clear his throat and toke a big step back and look away, I take this as my cue to move, I go to his disk and answer his phone "this is Stanford Industry company how may I help you?".

******************

Flash Back End

God, I can't believe that I was going to be the one who did the first move, I scoffed at myself, oh who I'm kidding I will do anything I can to get to kiss him.

I'm going to test my luck today, I'm going to try Lo's game and see what will happened. I look at my hand watch to see it 6;00, he should be here in an hour, I get out from the tub and wear my rob, I turn my curling iron on, dancing around on Shakira and Rihanna song can't remember to forget you, I go to my bedroom and take the dress from the closet and put it on the bed.

I'm going to wear a red, sexy yet simple dress.

I curl my hair as loose thick curly and did my make-up as natural eyeshadow, I look at myself in the mirror and smile, my sister will be proud she always tell me what to do, do that and not to do that, when I do make-up and eventually she would come and do it herself, I take a selfy and send it to her giggling.

After I'm done with my hair and makeup I put my dress on then to complete the look I put a crystal earring and bracelet watch then I match them with 4 inches heels, I'm one of those women who think that the clothes I'm wearing won't be complete without JEWELLERY.

After I'm done I look at myself in the full length mirror and smile, I look different, I hope he like it, I know that the red colure is his favorite, that's why I choose it, I began to feel nervous, god Rose it's not like you're going on a date with him, I take a deep breath then look at my watch only to see that he will be here in five minute, I clean the bathroom and my room then take my clutch and put my keys, phone and wallet in it. Like my granny always says, "you don't know what will happened with you, so always keep your wallet with you and make sure there is money in it.".

After I'm done I spritz some perfume on, then I take my second class of red wine to the kitchen, before I enter it there was a knock on my door, I drink the rest of it and put it in the dish washer then go to open the door, I put my hand on the door hand and toke a deep breath to settle my nervous before open it.

When I open it my breath catch in my throat at what I saw, he was standing in front of me in black 3 pieces suit, holding a simple red rose in his hand, he look so handsome, so hot, so sexy and he obviously checking me out, I smile at the fact that he's checking me out and bite my lips to hide it.

He clears his throat and says with a grin, "hello, could you please call Ella for me, we should get going?"

"ha h, very funny." I said giggling, he just smirk

"you look absolutely beautiful" he said while smiling, " this is for you" he add, and held the red rose for me to take.

"thank you, I will put it in water and we will be ready to go." I said while the grin still on my face.

When we were in the car he asked me to update him on his schedule and if there any party or something he should go to.

I open my phone and say, "there is no party this week, but you have a party in Canada on the 19th to Mr. Loess, and that's it for the rest of the month."

"okay, make sure we go to Canada two days before the party, I want to go see my buddies and I want to go see what's been going on in our branch there." he said

"okay I will tell Elyot, when he should be ready?" I asked

"at seven, and you be ready at six thirty." He said

"oka—wait do you want to take me?" I said with smile

"that's not something you should ask a guy about Ella." He said with smirk

I was confused at first but after a second a blush rise to my neck and cheeks "prev." I said with shy smile, his laughing was the only thing that heard before the car came to stop, I look outside to see that we have arrived.

Tom open the door for me, "thank you Tom" I said to him

"you're welcome, enjoy your evening Miss Taylor" he said

"you too Tom." I said, Arrow came to my side and take my hand to put it on his elbow, "thank you Tom, you could go home if you like, I'm sure Kat missing you." He said with smile, which put a grin on Tom face, "thank you sir."

We walk to the door in silence; once we enter, a waiter came to us, "Mr. Stanford welcome, your gust is already here, this way please.", It didn't surprised me anymore when we enter some place and someone come to welcome us by the name, he's that famous.

Mr. Luke was setting when we arrived, "oh Miss Taylor you look beautiful as always." he said with smirk

The waiter pull my chair for me, "thank you" I told him with smile he return my smile then go, I turn to Mr. Luke and say, "and you as player as always Mr. Luke." With smile, even if he prev. sometimes I won't deny a compliment.

He was going to say something but Arrow interrupted him by saying, "Mr. Luke let's get to business shell we." He was setting on my right side, looking as cold and intimated as ever.

We were interrupted by a new voice says "hello, I'm James and I'm going to be your waiter tonight. Do you want something to drink first, or you are ready to order?"

When I look up my mouth drop open and my eyes went wide, what the hell? What he's doing here and waiter? His eyes went wide when he look at me.

We both look away when we hear someone clearing his throat; I look at Arrow to see him sending diggers toward my brother James.

James clears his throat as well and say "what can I get you to drink, sir." When he say that I couldn't help the giggling that escape my mouth, because I remember him saying when my dad tell him that he need to call his partner sir, because he work for him that he's and I quote "I'm not going to say to any one sir, the people must say that to me, I'm the boss and I'm defiantly my own boss." he said it with so much pride and confident. And look where he is now.

"I'm sorry" I said and send him a smirk.

"I don't want anything, I just want to be done with this so I can go to my girls." Mr. Luke says

"we will both have red wine. Thank you" Arrow said to him, James nodded and left.

"so do you have the contract?" Mr. Luke said

"yes, here, I didn't know you have daughters" Arrow asked

"I don't, but my sister has one and she turn two today." He said with soft smile on his face.

"that's sweet of you." I said with smile, he look different from before, I haven't seen him since the last meeting, that's mean three months ago.

"will, I love my sister and that made her daughter my beloved." He said while looking at the contract, after he done reading it, he sing it, before he get up he turn to me and say "can you help me with something?"

James return with our drinks, he Pour for Arrow 5-6 oz but for me he put 8 oz because he knew I like it fill like that, "thank you" I said to him with grin, he return it then send me a wink while leaving; I shake my head at him smiling then turn to Mr. Luke and say "yeah sure.", I didn't miss the way Arrow look between me and James and the question look he has because the way James fill my class.

"what do you think will be better to get her, a doll house or a play horse or play kitchen?" he asked with frown.

I laugh and tell him to get her the horse and the play kitchen because most of the gifts will be doll, he thank me and get up and left.

I take my class and roll it a bit to smell the wine then I take a taste, 'mmmmm' "it taste great, better than the one we have in our hotel, don't you think." I said while looking at the class then at him with shy smile.

He was looking at me then he take his class to taste it, "mmmmm, yes it's better, I will talk to the manager to know from who he take his wine." He say, he take the menu and tell me to see what I want. He was acting weird, I wasn't really buying attention to the menu because I was looking at him from under my eyelash while pretended to read it.

"do you now the waiter?" he asked suddenly which made me jump a bit.

"yes" I said, we were interrupted by James clearing his throat, "sorry to interrupt, are you ready to order, sir, ma'am" he send a glare to Arrow.

"yes, I like to order Chicken Breasts with Mushroom Cream Sauce." Arrow says while glaring back at him.

He turns his eyes on me, he was ready to kill someone, god, overprotective much, "what do you like ma'am." He said,

"em... I .... " I didn't know what I want, I don't even know what there is in the menu, but of course my sweet brother save the day, "there is Chicken Alfredo here, if you want?" he said with smirk, when he say it my face light up and I smile at him gratefully, he winked at me then leave, I shake my head with smile and take sip from my class.

"it's your favorite?" Arrow asked with frown

"yes, I love it." I said, is that jealous I see in his eyes, oh my god he's jealous from my brother.

There was silence between us and it's beginning to be awkward so I clear my throat and tell him that if we didn't make this evening awkward then it won't, and in return he tell me what I think we should do.

"okay, how about we play 20 question ?" I tell him grinning.

"what question do you want to asked, you know almost everything about me" he asked confused, he actually looked confused, oowww he looked cute when he's confused.

"not every think, and you know about me almost nothing." I said with smirk

"of course I do." He said it like he said 'daah'

"okay so what—" I stopped because James came with our meal.

"here you go" he put Arrow meal in front of him, "and here you go princess" he put my meal in front of me, oh god it looks delicious.

"thank you, pooh bear" I said with huge smile

"your welcome princess" he said with smile, then add while sending degers to Arrow " your meal on me princess." I smile at him then dig in, I don't want it to be cold.

"it's okay, I will buy for it." Arrow said with glare

James open his mouth to say something, and what he say made my chock on my food when I hear it, "is this a date?"
