20: Date

DANIEL'S POV

I sat there looking at her. I've finished with my work for a couple minutes now and I've been staring at her ever since.

"Oh, Daniel? There's a request for proposal personally sent to your email." She looked over at me.

She's been doing pretty good and she's not an art major. Just business.

I guess her late night studying paid off. That makes me smile a bit, knowing that she tried to learn the job couple hours before.

"Is it important?" She nodded, "Then I'll check it out tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Go on a date with me." Her head shot up towards me. If she moved any harder or faster her head would be rolling right now.

"H-huh?"

I smiled. "You heard exactly what I said."

'Yeah I know but I just wanted to know if you're joking or not. Why did you just throw it out there like that? It's not fair. But a date? A date with him all of a sudden?'

Wow. She's that suprised? What's wrong with asking her on a date?

"Is it that hard? I'm not joking."

'I thought he hated me.' "Oh come on, Reds. Aren't you tired of thinking that? And I don't hate you anymore."

"Why?"

I don't think I can answer that right now. "No need for questions right now. So are we going or not?"

"S-sure?"

Finally. She likes me but take for ever to answer if she would go on the date. "We're already having sex , what's so hard for a date?"

"Why would you bring that up now?" She blushed. She's so adorable.

She really looks good in that suit and I'm sure she'll look way better as each day goes by.

Back to the date, where should I bring her? I was just in the mood to bring her on a date later, nothing else.

Well, I have the rest of the time to think about it. She already said yes.

The day ran of rather quickly, now it's time to get ready.

I stood in front of the mirror, adjusting my shirt and ensuring my trousers were perfectly fitted.

I'm tired of wearing suits now. If I could wear a joggers and sweatshirt I would but it's a dinner first.

Since it's the first date and we haven't eaten dinner yet, I'm bringing her to a rooftop lounge. I booked the whole building.

We've been to a lot of places together alone but I never actually considered it as date. Not like I asked her.

We're eating out like we have to. I've been a hybrid so long I forgot that I'm not human. Just blending in with the mortals all my life, I feel like a human.

I just realized she doesn't really know anything about me other than little of my past.

I checked my watch – 6:45 PM. Mikayla would be finishing her touch up any minute now. I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of 'I want to annoy her' and 'I want to fuck her'.
