The Date

»»-------¤-------««Mallory's Pov»»-------¤-------««

"This is absolutely ridiculous. I can't believe I let myself get talked into this." I groan while Bethany snickers behind me in my office while I'm drowning in utter despair and disbelief. "What was i thinking?"

"Pussy."

"What?" I utter and slowly raise my gaze to my assistant.

"That's what you were thinking boss. Miss Beaufort's pussy." My eyebrow twitches at her comment and I simply press my palm against my forehead in defeat.

"Bethany, I swear—" I groan and turn around slowly sauntering towards her before I rake my hand through my hair in frustration. "A date Bethany, why won't she just accept my fucking money and let it go?" I exclaim in utter confusion. "Take the fucking money and just—"

"Boss did you ever consider that maybe, just maybe she's not only in it for the money." My assistant proposes and all I can do is let out a cackle in response.

"Bethany, everyone wants money. Everyone will do anything for it."

"Boss, why did she ask for a date then?"

"I don't know Bethany. Did you expect me to read her mind?" I snap back, narrowing my eyes in her direction. A sense of ease washes over me as she moves closer and hands me my chemise. I take a deep breath and silently begin to get dressed.

"Boss, is it such a strange concept to think that maybe someone has good intentions?" She asks.

"Bethany, don't you start too," I interject, turning to her while finishing up my makeup. "First Sparky with the whole affection ideology and now you too?" I give her a sideway glance and ask, "Let's be real here, she just wants to be a pain in my ass." Bethany sighs at my words before she hands me a little earpiece.

"Here you go, I'll give you tips on how to act around her on the date." I take the little earpiece and put it in my right ear.

"This is such a chore." I groan, eager to have this finished. "Let's just get this done quickly."

As I make my way to the apartment complex that Sparky calls home, I slowly turn off the engine and step out of the car.

"Boss can you hear me?" I adjust the little earpiece and stroll towards the building.

"Mhm, i can." I simply reply in a calm tone.

"Gosh, I can't believe I'm the one ordering you around now!" Bethany chuckles on the other side of the communication device, making me roll my eyes.

"Bethany." I snap.

"Right, sorry boss."

I walk into the building, the doors sliding open to allow me in. I tread up the stairs to Sparky's floor, a familiar route by now. This isn't my first time coming here; I've 'knocked' on her door many times before. Knocking is maybe not the right word, but who cares. I stand in front of the door and sigh. 

"Let's get this over with." With that i knock on the door and wait for her to open up.

"Moment!"

I hear her call out from the other side of the door, the wooden frame between us muffling her voice. What is she doing? The moment I go to grab the door handle, it opens with a swift swing and my breath catches in my chest. My eyes are drawn to her as she steps out of the doorway, taking my breath away. Suddenly every nerve in my body is alive with anticipation as she takes a few steps closer, and I feel an electricity between us that I've never experienced before. At least not in this way.
