~~~~~~~Zach's POV~~~~~~~~~    

"Really!! Hahahaha! Oh god I can't breath, Hahahah I must admit their pretty great pranksters" she had such an amazing laugh that I just couldn't stop attempting to make her laugh more. "That they are" I finished off with a chuckle. "How about you, do you have any siblings?" wrong move, after that question left my mouth her face fell. We were silent for a while until she broke it answering "I did. Once. But I don't wanna talk about it." I nodded, understanding. I knew the answer, I just wanted to hear it from her. "By the way I still have one last question?" Her face started panicking but she tried to hide it. I smirked and continued " What is your nationality, I mean you don't look fully American? " she sighed and I could tell her face was slightly relieved. She smiled and answered "I'm half Ethiopian" "Pardon"  "it's a country located in the Horn of Africa, she is a very beautiful country" "Is it by your.." "Mother's side" "Oh I see, well that makes more sense, since your skin is slightly..." I trailed of embarrassed by the way she was looking at me " Yeah, I guess" she replied, even though she was trying her best not to smile, it still counts as one right?

Then we both sat there in silence, it wasn't the awkward type but the comforting type. We were sitting by the door so everytime someone came in the wind would blow her hair on her face so she had to push it back. I was really tempted to push the lock of her hair that escaped behind her hear. But I knew it wouldn't seem professional so I didn't. She looked really hot today it wasn't like the sexy-come-and-get-me type but it still was a full turn on. Plus she smelled like strawberries, I'm still wondering if it's her hair or perfume. Damn these days are gonna be filled with a lot of cold showers. "Mr.Pierce? Mr.Pierce, we should probably get going." "Huh?" she chuckled and replied "the mall remember, the present for Meg. Ring a bell?" Damn that sound is like a lullaby to my ears, I wonder how her voice would be when... Woaw where you going pal. This is strict business. Nothing more, nothing less. "oh right let's go" I called the waiter and paid after an eternity of fighting that I would.

" I can't believe I'm doing this" "well, look on the bright side, you get to be a hundred dollars richer" I cursed under my breath and headed toward the cashier. She looked up and smiled, showing her perfect white teeth. "How can I help you sir?" She asked while batting her eyelashes. I gulped and answered " I was wondering if you could help me with finding a pair of panties with my size?" Damn if I wasn't in this humiliating situation I would have laughed my ass off at her face. " E-Excuse m-me? Huh I-I don't know s-sir" "don't worry i'we just find it myself, thank you for your time" I sighted and walked back to Parker. She was laughing so hard that she had to hold onto something in order not to fall. "Are you done ?" She raised a finger and kept laughing, then she stood up "yeah now I'm done" she said still smiling. " good now pay up" she rolled her eyes and took out a 100 dollars "there, now let's go buy that gift shall we?" " OK. I saw a store for jewels when we passed by earlier, does she fancy that?" She smiled and replied " she loves those, cmon let's go " we got out and I bought her a silver bracelet while she bought her a beautiful necklace. Then she took me back to my place.

"Thank you for today, I had a great time. Goodnight and See you on Saturday." "It was my pleasure. Thanks for the ride. Good night". I went inside my apartment still smiling I couldn't wait till Saturday. And I'm guessing it wasn't the alcohol or something else that got me this excited. Nope. I'm sure it has something to do with a pretty yet misterious and odd brunette.
