I woke up to a text from Scott informing me that he would come pick me up. I then got up very quickly remembering that i still havn't decided on what to wear. I had a bigger closet than Paris Hilton's and trust me Paris has a massive closet so deciding on what to wear took me long.
I finally decided to be safe and put on nude pumps, ripped jeans, a vest and navy coat. I tied my hair in a bun and only put gloss on my lips.. Yeah, I thought to myself, this should do.
The doorbell rang and I grabbed my clutch and greeted Scott with a kiss on the cheek.
" You look ravishing Rue " , Scott said as he opened the door to his Porsche for me.
I blushed but tried to hide it because I preferred to keep my cool for once. Oh yes fine we slept together already but that was last night and tonight we get to start over.I was thankful for my dress code as Scott and I were ushered into a restaurant that had a club like feel to it. Okay it had more of a model feel to it as everywhere I looked I saw skinny looking girls drinking Martini's , wearing skimpy dresses and high heels as if though they weren't tall enough. I guess I was a bit intimidated because those girls looked gorgeous and I .. Okay fine I was drop dead gorgeous so scratch that intimidated part because that is just a blatant lie.
I ordered a Cosmo and Scott ordered himself a beer. "So this is the place huh?" I asked trying to break the ice. "Yes, vibey huh?" He replied with a smile. Damn this guy is hot. I was staring so deeply into his eyes when I saw him wave his hand in my face. Snap! I must have started daydreaming again. " I said what do you do, as in your work " Scott asked , still waving his hand.
" I .. I am into journalism and Publicity although I .. I am still looking for a job" I lied. He couldn't know that I worked at my family's company, honestly speaking he seemed to be completely oblivious to the fact that I was the daughter of his mother's arch nemesis or maybe it just didn't matter to him.
We spoke for a while , he told me he does Photography but is mostly into Marketting. I didn't hear the rest of the conversation because I was staring at his well built face and perfect hair but suddenly my thoughts drifted to Mr's Bensimones proposal..We finally left the restaurant and Scott was driving me back to my place when out of the blue he asks " Would you like to go out with me this Friday? "
" Uhm.. Yeah I .. Yes I would like to but I can't. I promised my friend that I would go with her to her family's annual charity gala" I said, which wasn't a lie because I really did promise Judy that i'd be there.
He said that it's okay although he couldn't hide his disappointment. I felt really bad but also relieved as this was going way too fast.
I stole a glance at him and oh how sexy he looked when he was deep in thought.We stopped by my building and he being the gentleman that he is, opened my door. As I was about to step out , I tripped and this time i did fall ... into his arms. I fell awkwardly into his tender embrace but quickly pulled myself away. That was so embarrassing I just wanted to run to my apartment.
He still had a grin on his face and looked like he was suppressing a laugh. Oh gosh.
We ended the night with a soft kiss on the lips and he waved me goodbye.
I got into my apartment, took off my clothes and put on my pyjamas.That night , my thoughts were consumed by Scott. He had somehow managed to crawl himself into my dreams as well and I feared that he was soon going to take shelter in my sanctuary. In simple terms, I was falling for Scott at a pace I could not keep up with. But there was something else that fought to have first priority and that was Mrs Bensimones offer. Mrs Bensimones very tempting offer.
