~Before anything began between us
You were like my best friend
The one I used to run and talk to
When me and my girl was having problems (that's right)
You used to say it'll be ok
Suggest little nice things I should do (uh-huh)
And when I go home at night and lay my head down
All I seem to think about was you~
(Usher)
February is the shortest month, but the bitter chill makes it feel the longest. The smart one, like me escape to more Tropical Climates, while some of my Upper East Side friends use the time to hunker down and finish their work. Others snuffle up in bed with their agendas to keep them warm. And then there at the homes that feel even colder inside than it is out.
Elizabeth sat on Chuck's dresser adjusting his tie. Since Valentine's Day they had spent a lot of time together.
"So, what exactly are your plans for today?" she asked playing with his tie.
"Empire business" he replied "You?"
"I was thinking about taking Ella to the park" she replied "Let her see some of the people still out skating on the ice"
"You own an ice rink, right?"
"I do" she replied "It's just not busy right now. No one wants to be inside on ice when the ice rink in Central Park is open and well in Central Park"
"That's..."
"It's okay, it actually gives us time to do some maintenance stuff on it, which even though I own control of the rink I still have to get Carter and his 5% to sign off on it and he's MIA at the moment"
"You don't know where he's at?"
"I am happy not knowing" she smiled, and he kissed her.
"So, besides a day with the most precious girl in the world what do you have planned for tonight?"
"Are you asking me out?" she asked.
"I thought we could order in. Have dinner, tuck Ella in and then dessert...in the bedroom"
"Dinner sounds good, tucking in Ella sounds good, the dessert in the bedroom definitely seals the deal" she flirted as her phone buzzed and she checked it seeing an email from her tour guy.
"What was that?" he asked, "your other boyfriend?"
She glanced at him and smiled.
"Are you implying that you're my boyfriend? In order for me to have another one..." she asked holding on to his tie.
He pulled her in for a kiss before she should finish the sentence. She smiled and pulled away.
"I'm gonna take that as a maybe" she smiled "but that was the guy that's been helping me with the tour."
