grayson's empire

"oh, and you are taking the day off" he states before closing my office door.

i walk after him. it's my way or the highway. i walk into his office. "come on, one date, and i'll leave you alone after that, it's on me. i know the best spots" i try to sway him into going on a date with me. "will you never do something stupid like getting drunk on your own again if i go with you?" his eyebrow raised. his arms laying on his table, his hands folded together, he's slightly leaning forward asking me this question

"fine." i say and see him get up.  "then next time i want to go get drunk you have to come" i say with a smirk and walk out. hearing his chuckle. i twirl a little through the hall as our receptionist lydia smiles at me. "whats going on dear? you're awfully happy for this time of day" she comments. i chuckle. "i got our big guy to go on a date with me" i say dancing just a little bit. "i didn't know you liked him" she remarks. "no but he's lonely, so we made a deal" i say and wait for him to come out his office. "what are you gonna do?" she asks. "i'm taking him to my favorite spot" i say with a huge smile drawn on my face.  "c'mon Mrs Vienna" he states holding the elevator  for me. i smile and wave at lydia, getting into the elevator. 

"you can call me eleanor, you know that right?" i say looking up at him. "i could." he simply answers. "where are you going? we're taking my car" he says as i head towards the parkinglot. he opens the car door for me and closes it as i sit. 

HE'S SUCH A GENTLEMAN BB I'M IN LOVE. my subconcious speaks. "no we're not" i mutter as grayson gets in while i buckle myself. "tell me the route, Eleanor" he speaks my name with so much passion it melts me. "we need to go to spring avenue first Mr arlow" i tell him. "if you treat me professionally by calling me that. i will continue calling you Ms Vienna" he says with a smirk. keeping his eyes on the road. "fine, i'll call you grayson?" he nods contentfully. 

"where to now?" he asks me. "take a left and a right directly after." he looks  confused but focusses on the road. "see it would've been easier to take my car" i tell him. "yeah i'm not getting in that rusty thing." i look at him in shock. "she is not rusty" i joke. "we're here" i squeel. 

i get out of the car and walk into the old diner. it's a small, forgotten diner, but their burgers hit the spot.  i turn around to see grayson look at me quite out of place. "can i order for you?" i ask him excitedly. "sure" he says unbothered. i order for us and head to pay but a large hand swipes their card right across the machine. paying for the order i just placed. "grayson, i was supposed to pay" i tell him. he smirks childishly.  "you need to save your money to replace your rusty old car." i hit his arm jokingly and act offended. "ahw are you offended now" he says laughing. i roll my eyes and thank the nice lady as she hands me my order to go. 

"ok, let's go" i tell him. he looks at me confused. "we're going to my favorite spot." i tell him smiling. he opens the car door for me again, 

HE DID IT AGAIN, HE DID IT AGAIN, I'M IN LOVE. "i swear to god we're not" I mutter to myself 

as we reach the small park i head straight towards the little picnic table. taking out all the food and drinks. "you come here often?" he questions sitting down opposite of me. í shrug my shoulders "not as often as i like, but if i need to relax or get away, this is the place" i tell him in all honesty. "who's your fiancé?" i ask him as the random thought of him saying he's engaged pops up in my head. "bitch dirkinson" i furrow my eyebrows. "b-bitch? that's her name" i choke out trying not to laugh. he looks at me as he continues to eat his fries. "i think her name is bethany. that's also why i gave you the day off"

i furrow my eyebrows once again, "you gave me the day off because... you have a fiancé named bethany dirkinson?" i question confused. 

"i need your help tonight. you need to come to my parents house, so i can call of the engagement, you need to act like you're my girlfriend. i'll give u a 75% raise." he states nervously.
