"What's your problem?" Ace asks, clearly annoyed.
"What's your problem?" I question back.
"You." He replies without hesitation.
"What about me?" I ask in a low whisper, hiding the hurt in my voice.
"Your auburn locks, your hazel eyes, your cute expr...
As Nymphadora sat in front of me, I took in her appearance. A black dress with a belt at the waist that reached her knees over black leggings. Her black coat was hung over the coat hanger at the corner of my room next to the door.
Her face is covered with her mask that I want to snatch away and look at her beauty but I restrain myself. Her hair is in a half updo with a braid.

Summary: She looked breathtakingly beautiful.
"What's your full name?" I ask, as I stroke my lip with my index finger.
"Nymphadora Tonks Snow." She says slowly, daring me to make fun of her name, the name I've come to love. It sounds vaguely familiar but I let it pass.
"Age?" I ask, and she sighs inaudibly.
"17, 18 in 2." She replies and I nod.
"Where is your sister?"
"Floor 2, daycare." She says, avoiding my gaze.
"Okay. Let's talk about some work, shall we?" She nods and I continue. "Work timing will be 4 to 9, tea break will be 6:30 to 7:30. As my PA, you will attend my meetings with me, schedule them for me, make sure I have the necessary stuff for my meetings, and if I am not here, which you will know when I am not, my business partner, Aaron Calloway, will be in charge, and you are to work for him the same way. Make sure I get no complaints. I need my coffee at 4 pm sharp, daily. Black with 1 teaspoon sugar and you are not supposed to talk to other employees until necessary. You will have your tea with me. Bringing tea is Mr. William's duty so you don't have to worry about that. No wasting time while you are here and if by any chance, you are free, you may do your school work but I need my work completed on time. Most importantly, make sure you stay out of the public eye. Am I clear?" I ask after ending my mini speech. She nods, dumbfoundedly.
"Good," I say a bit more cheerfully than needed. "Let me show you around in case you need something from another department related to the meeting."
"Can I still work at the bakery on Saturday?" she asks in a voice full of hope.
"Yes. Yes, you can." I say with a sigh. "Why do you cover your face?" I ask her before I can stop myself.
"I am afraid, I can't answer that question. But it helps, doesn't it? I need to stay out of the public eye, no?" She replies. Smart.
I nod at her as her eyes wander around the room before setting on mine.
My breath hitches in my throat and I try to look away from the hazel orbs but I can't, for they seem to draw me in, lure me in.
And in a flash, she is in front of me. I stand up, to reach her eye level and before I can formulate a thought, lips connect, fires burn, hearts beat, eyes flutter close, breath speeds up, sounds muffle, and the world goes into the background. Her soft plump lips move against mine slowly, passionately, guiding me, and I feel like this is my first time kissing. Her sweet scent envelops me as my hand moves up to her cheek.
