"Soul Evans, please come to the main office. Soul Evans, please come to the main office." I hear the secretary call my name out over the intercom.

I sigh,"what does my father want this time?" I get up from my chair in my little cubical and start heading to the main office.

"Soul Evans."

"Yes?"

"Your father wants to see you."

I mumbled under my breath,"I kinda figured.." I walked in his office to see him talking to a woman that I've never seen before. They don't seem to notice me so I decided to cough.

My father looks away from the woman and looks at me,"Ah! Soul, your here!"

"Yeah, I'm here.." I say unamused. "Why did you want me to come in here?" I asked him.

"I want you to show our new employe around the place." He tells me.

"Yeah, sure, whatever." I respond back.

He then turns himself to the woman next to him. "Don't mind him. He's just a little moody right now."

"That's understandable." The woman said and turn towards me. I was awestruck at her eyes they were as green as an emerald. I would usually expect a woman with dirty blonde hair to have blue eyes but, emerald eyes.. that's something different.. It really suits her.

"I'm Maka Albarn. I'll be working with you and the company from now on." She said as she held her hand out.

"I'm Soul Evans. Glad to have you in the business." I grabbed her hand to shake it when I felt a shock. I'm guessing that she felt it, too considering that she flinched, but she then shook it off like nothing ever happened. I eventually shook her hand.

"Well now, let's go I'll give you a tour of this place." I say to her.

I started to show her around, from bathrooms, to the lounge, to all the little cubicles. To think that someone new would actually just begin to work instead of becoming a secretary first.

I return to my father's office with her, "Well, that's the whole building, hope you like working here." I was about to walk out, when my father called me.

"Soul, don't leave just yet. I need to speak to you."

I walked at up to him and asked,"What is it that you want to talk to me about?"

"It's about Maka. She isn't just starting out as a worker. She is your secretary, from now until she gets a promotion."

"Had a feeling she would be a secre- wait she's my secretary?!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Yes, she'll be helping you."

"Excuse me? Am I interrupting something?" Makes asked politely.

"No, your not, you should actually be in this conversation as well." My father told her.

"Well.. what is it about?" She asked.

"Your going to be Soul's secretary." My father said.

Maka look shocked at what she just heard. "Wow, I didn't expect to be Soul's secretary."

"Well you are. I expect to get a report on the resent kishin attack by next Wednesday."

Maka and I left his office and went to my cubical.

"Sorry I only have one computer and one chair in here" I apologize to her.

"It's fine, I got a laptop." She said as she pulled out her laptop from its case. "I hope you don't mind, but since you don't have an extra chair I was thinking about sitting on the table. If it's ok with you that is."

"Go right a head, I'm ok with it." I simply said. As I said that she instantly took a seat and crossed her legs. I totally forgot that she was wear a skirt until she crossed her legs.

"Um.. is everything alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

"Well your nose is sorta bleeding"

I quickly find the tissue box, grabbed a tissue and held it over my nose. As I do this Maka is giggling at me.

"You know Soul, your actually kinda cute when your rushing around like that" I smirk at her.

"So tell me about yourself." I say to her.

"Me? Why not you. Your the one with shark teeth"

"I will right after you."

"Ok." She sighed,"Well, I didn't really come from a rich or poor family, but I came from a below average family, my mother travels the world, my father is a man whore, and I was the top in my class."

"Wow, I'm guessing it was a pretty hard life?"

"More or less. Now what about you?"

"Well, my family is quite rich, but I tend to not really be with my family, my brother is a violinist that performs all over the world, my father is the owner of this company, my mother stays home a lot, and my features, such as my shark like teeth, isn't normal in my family."

"At least you have an easier life than me" Maka looks down.

"Actually, I don't"

"How come?" She asked.

"My parents wanted me to be a strings player like my brother, but I choose the piano instead." I sighed "Ever since I've been playing the piano my parents hated me."

"How could they hate you?" She questioned,"The piano is a beautiful instrument. Ignore them if they don't like you playing it. It's your life, live the way you want to live and play what you want to play."

"They just wanted me to be more like my brother"

"Well it's good to be different." She looks at me with a faint smile. "By the way can I ask you something?"

"Go right ahead"

"Can I listen to you playing the piano?"

I looked at her with a blank expression. I haven't played in front of anyone in a long time. Let alone, I haven't played the piano in a long time.

"Sure, just come to my house after work." I wrote down my address on a piece of paper and gave it to her.

~At Souls after work~

I sat down in front of my piano to get ready to play. I looked behind me to see Maka behind me staring me down, letting me know that I can to play. I nodded and turned back to my piano.

"This is how I feel." I say and then I started to play. The melody was dark when I played it like all the other songs that I played. A little bit of it was uplifting but most was dark.

I'm surprised that I still know how to play. It's been at least 5 years since I played.

Once I was finished with the song I turned around and looked at Maka. She looked awestruck, like the music took her breath away.

"That was a beautiful song."

I smirked at her. "Glad you think so. It's good to hear a compliment from a beautiful woman"She blushed when I called her beautiful.

"You really think that I'm beautiful?" She asked me.

"Of course you are. You have the most beautiful eyes that I've ever seen. Not to mention, your smile is the sweetest smile I've ever seen. Basically, everything about you is just beautiful. The moment I touched your hand was the moment I knew you were my one and only." I started to smile at her. "Maka will you be my girlfriend?"

She put her hands over her mouth in shock. "Yes I would love to!" She then jump into my arms and I kissed her lovingly.

Even if I met her only today, I'm glad that she's mine. Being around her makes me happy. I have a feeling that both of our lives are going to get better whenever we are together.
