Let me in. (Robert Downey Jr Fanfic) Complete

26. His

"I don't think that I'm dressed properly for this place." I said while standing outside this really fancy restaurant with Mr Adams.

"You look fine, don't worry about it." He said and placed his hand on my back leading me inside.

"That's easy for you to say. You're always wearing a suit."

He chuckled.

The waitress lead us to our table. Mr Richards pulled back my chair and I sat down.

"Thank you." I smiled at him when he went to sit down in front of me.

"A beautiful lady like yourself should be treated like a princess." He said.

Is he trying to hit on me? This all feels so strange. I'm on a date with my boss and he just called me beautiful. I really looked at him for the first time now. He's actually really handsome and has a great smile. His eyes are blue and he has really nice dark blonde hair. He's quite tall. A little taller than Robert but he's not as muscular as him. Did I just started comparing Mr Richards with Robert?

"Why are you looking at me like that?" He said and smirked. I snapped out of my gazing and felt embarrassed.

"N-nothing!" I said way too panicking. I mentally face palmed myself.

"You sure? It looked like you were checking me out." Still with that smirk on his face.

"I-I'm sorry. I don't want to offend you Mr Richards but I just find this a little.. well.. strange." I said while looking down at the table.

"Adam." He said.

"I'm sorry?"

"I told you to call me Adam didn't I?" He was still smirking. What's up with him?

"I'm sorry, Adam." It felt weird saying his first name.

He chuckled. "I like how my name sounds with your voice."

He is totally hitting on me. I don't feel like doing the same though. Yes he's really handsome and kind but I'm not interested. What do I do now?

"Am I making you uncomfortable?" He said in a serious tone.

"No." I lied. "It's just so unexpected. I've always seen you as my boss and suddenly you're my date. It's just a big point of view change for me."

"I understand." He smiled warmly at me this time.

We were silent for a moment when a question popped up in my head.

"Why did you ask me out?"

"Well. You're very beautiful to begin with. You have a lot of talent but you don't see it yourself so that makes you modest and I like that. You're also very kind and helpful. I find you also very mysterious and I'd like to get to know you better."

I was blushing. Why am I blushing?

"Why now?" I asked.

"Well, to be honest. I actually really saw you for the first time when you auditioned. You were mesmerizing and since then I wanted to take you out and get to know you better. I wanted to ask you out after your second test but I didn't feel confident enough and after that you just disappeared. What was all of that about anyway?"

I dreaded that he would ask that. I began to move in my seat. I'll just tell him what I tell everyone else.

"Nothing, it's complicated."

"I don't mind listening to you." He winked. Damn. What do I do now? I really don't want to tell him! I have to lie but what should I say?! My hands are starting to sweat. I'm really nervous. I think I'm going to panic! Just calm down Emilia. Breathe... breathe. Just tell him the truth.
