Alba's POV

The rest of the dinner went by quickly, with both of you exchanging heated glances and touches. You could feel the anticipation building within you, wondering what would happen once you'll leave the restaurant. The excitement and nervousness enveloping you.

As you stood up from your seats, his hand on your back as he was guiding you towards the exit. As you moved past by the billing counter the waitress bowed to you both.

"Umm Jungkook...You forgot to pay?" you thought he forgot.

"Pay? Baby I own this place" he replied chuckling.

"What?" you asked trying to process the information.

"I own this place, so I never pay." He explained smirking.

"So, what about the money for the food?" you asked, confused.

"It's already covered" he simply replied.

Your mouth formed in "O" shaped as your mind tried to process the information.

You didn't want to argue further, you didn't either have money to pay the food so you let him be. As Jungkook guided you towards the exit, his touch sending a jolt of electricity through your body. He quickly took you to parking lot. As he took out the remote key of his car and unlocked it. A sleek black Bugatti's headlight lit up from afar.

"Is this yours?" you asked shocked.

"Yep..." he replied flatly.

"First the restaurant now this? Are you a billionaire or something?" you asked curiously.

"You could say that" he replied with a smirk.

"Oh my God! You are rich!" you gasped putting a hand on your mouth.

"Not rich per say, you can say wealthy" he chuckled again as he opened the passenger's door for you and waited for you to get in.

You could feel your pulse racing, not knowing how to handle the information. You quickly got inside, your heart hammering in your chest. He closed the door and made his way towards the driver's side.

"So, where are we going?" you asked, trying to steady your breathing.

"Somewhere private, where no one could disturb us." he replied, his voice husky and low.

"I hope you won't hurt me" you mumbled as you thought he won't hear.

He smirked, his gaze darkening. "I'll never hurt you, Sweetheart. But I will make you feel good." You let out a gasp he replied.

Your body shivered with anticipation as he started the car and drove off. Your heart was beating two times faster as he was driving...suddenly your phone buzzed and Aina's message popped up.

Aina: How's the date going?

It buzzed again.

Aina: Did he try to do anything?

It then buzzed again making Jungkook look to you.

Aina: Are you alive? OMG did he kill you?

You couldn't help but chuckle at her overly-protected nature.

"Who is it?" Jungkook asked, raising his eyebrow.

"It's just my best friend Aina"

"Why is she messaging you?" he asked annoyingly.

"What do you mean?" you asked.

"Tell her to stop messaging you." He responded.

"Why? Is it bothering you?" you asked again.

"Yes, it's distracting me." He replied.

"Stop being a jerk. I can't do that. She's worried about me." You retorted.

"Worried?" he asked lifting his eyebrow.

"Yeah, she thinks you're some sort of murderer or something." You snorted.

"I'm what?" he asked raising his brows.

"She's just being dramatic, ignore her." You said waving your hand in the air. "She'll stop after I reply her" you continued.

He nodded and turned his gaze back towards the road. One hand clutching the steering wheel the other was resting on the car door window.

You quickly replied her:

You: The date is going fine. And no he is not a murderer. Stop worrying!

After that whole ride was smooth and quiet, and before you knew it, he was pulling up in front of a large building.

"Is this where you live?" you asked leaning in the passenger seat looking over the building through windscreen of the car.

"Yes, I live on the top floor. It's a penthouse." He said as he removed his seat belt and opened the door.

You could feel your pulse quickening as he led you inside the building. You followed him your heart thumping fast in your chest, your mind telling you to run but your heart telling you to follow him. As he stopped in front of the elevator your mind was still battling you didn't notice him stopping as you bumped into his back.

"Sorry" you whispered, trying to calm yourself.

He turned around as you felt his breath on your forehead "Are you thinking about backing off?" he asked crossing his arms on his chest as he waited for the elevator to arrive.

"N-No..." you stuttered.

Jungkook smirked at your obvious nervousness, clearly enjoying the effect he was having on you. "You're stuttering, sweetheart. Are you sure you're not thinking about running away right now?"

You could feel a shiver running down your spine, his words sending a thrill through your body. As the elevator door opened he went in and you quickly followed him inside, the tension between you both thick and heavy.

He pressed the button for the top floor and the elevator doors closed. "Are you nervous, baby?"

"M-Maybe?" It came out more than a question rather than a statement.

He took a step closer to you, trapping you against the wall of the elevator. His body was pressed against yours, his masculine scent overwhelming your senses. "You're stuttering again, sweetheart."

He leaned in closer, his breath hot on your ear. "I know you're scared. I can feel your heart racing. But you're not going anywhere, sweetheart. Not tonight."

Your breathing hitched, your body aching for his touch. "Umhmm." You managed to utter.

The elevator ride felt like an eternity, the air between you and Jungkook charged with tension. You could feel his eyes on you, his gaze intense and focused as he studied your every reaction.

Finally, the elevator doors opened and he led you out, guiding you down a short hallway to a set of double doors he entered his passcode. He entered still holding the door for you to enter.
