I grab my purse and put on my high heels as I leave my apartment the lock clicking closed behind me as I put my apartment card in my phone's phonecase and start walking towards the elevator.

I reach the elevator in much less than 5 minutes and click the arrow pointing up to my floor.

Once the elevator clicks signalling that it arrived I step into the elevator and click floor 1 before tightly gripping onto the bar in anxiety from elevators. I swiftly arrive at the ground floor and walk outside to the front of the apartment complex to see Damien leaning on what seemed to be an expensive black sports car.

He has a white button up shirt on and some black sweatpants as he smokes a cigarette before noticing me and waving me over.

Slowly I walk over to the car seemingly anxious about it as my left hand grips my purse a bit tighter.

"Hey, get in" He says in a cold tone before walking to the other side of the car and getting into the driver's seat in a swift move.

I open the passenger side door and slowly get in, the leather warm from the sun shining onto the car as the car seems to be indeed quite fancy as I buckle up the seatbelt and close the car door.

"Where are we going?" I break the silence of the car that seems to have his smell of cologne and his presence in it completely filling every inch of the car making me feel suffocated by the whole intimidating presence not to mention his cologne which actually smelt good and made me feel comfortable apart from his actual cold and emotionless exterior.

"Somewhere to drink coffee or hang out" he simply says keeping his eyes on the road as he pulls out of the parking spot and drives off deeper into the city.

When we drive off I find myself staring at his hands that are on the steering wheel Oh the things he could do with those... I start thinking to myself some of those thoughts being not so unicorns and rainbows before I catch myself staring and quickly look away.

As it seems like he noticed me staring at him as he revealing a small smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth but he keeps his eyes on the road as the next 10 minutes of the car ride continues in silence.

10 minutes pass and we arrive at what seems to be an expensive café. Too expensive for me atleast. I see him park the car in a parking lot infront of the café and get out soon after I unbuckle the belt and get out of the car as it seems the doesn't even wait for me just immediately starts walking into the café.

I jog to catch up with him before walking normally again. "I- uhm this café is a bit too expensive for my check, can we go to another one?" I ask glancing up at him as we continue to walk towards it.

"I'll pay" he says coldly not even glancing down at me as he continues walking. "You really dont have to-" "If I said I'll pay then I'll pay" he stops walking and glares down at me. Making me only nod and continue walking with him.

We enter the café and he puts his hands in his pockets as some waiters and waitresses bow their heads at him. He seems to have quite the reputation here... I think to myself as I look around before we come to a small table seemingly made for 2 people for sitting.

We both sit down and he soon calls a waitress over as she seems to be blushing furiously but tries to cover it up with the notepad "Y-yes? What would you guys like?" The blonde stutters out.

"One black coffee and..." Damien turns to me as if waiting for me to finish saying his sentence by adding what I want.

"just some water, please" I say glancing up at the waitress giving her a soft smile, while she writes everything down. "The order will be with you shortly!" She quickly says before walking away almost jogging.

I turn back to the black haired man to see him already looking at me with the same cold stare. "Tell me more about yourself" he broke the silence as it sounded more like a demand or command then a request. Making me a bit anxious but I soon relax a bit under his cold gaze.

"I like singing and sometimes dancing. But most of all reading" I say not elaborating more but that seems to satisfy him as he does a short nod before leaning back in his chair and crossing his arms.

There seems to be an awkward silence for a bit before the waitress brings our order but still stares at Damien. It makes me feel a bit jealous over him... why am I having these feelings?! I only met him yesterday! This isn't right for me... My thoughts argue with one another as I hold the glass of water in my hands as he drinks his coffee.

I feel my phone buzz in my pocket, and I take my phone out glancing at it to see who texted me and I see my friend's message. "Hey I'm gonna pick you up at 6pm if that's fine?" I read her text and soon realise it's already 4pm.

"I have to go now" I look up at Damien. "That's fine. I'll drive you back" he says and stands up putting a few dollar bills on the table before walking out and getting in the car with me following slowly behind.

When we get back to the apartment he just drops me off infront of the building I give a slight wave before walking into the building and back to my room before crashing onto my bed having a bunch of mixed feelings.

One side of me starts to actually have small feelings for him now. While the other side just argues back how I shouldn't like him and how he's wayy out of league for me.

Now time to get ready for the club. Ugh.

A/N: it's not THAT explicit and I'm trying to make their relationship a bit cold so yeah..
