Although reluctant, Vogue let the two of them go back to their hotels. Now they were both huddled under a blanket on Quinn's hotel couch contemplating what to do.

"Oh c'mon, Quinn." Alexander was practically whining.

She held the remote away, "This is my favorite movie! And Prince Naveen is cute."

"You can't have a crush on an animated character!" He wailed. "And this movie makes no sense! Voodoo doesn't turn people to frogs."

"How would you know?" Quinn quirked an eyebrow suspiciously.

"Quinn,"

She moved away from him. "Maybe you're not who I thought you were, Mr. Irons."

He laughed heartedly. He glanced at the tv screen before turning to her. "If you relax it will enable me to do anything I please, I can read your future;" Quinn gawked. How did he know this song? He began to move closer to her. "I'll look deep into your heart and soul; Make your wildest dreams come true!" He hovered over her now. "I got voodoo- I got things I ain't even tried! And I got friends on the other side." He winked.

"I'm speechless." Quinn breathed, amazed. Brownie points to any man who can sing a few lines from her favorite movie. Alexander sung them very well.

"Prince Naveen, huh?" He was still leaning over her. His arms and legs caging her in.

Quinn smiled bashfully. "They worked really hard on him- I can tell you that much."

Alexander chuckled. "So the Maldonian Prince or me?"

"What?" Quinn's eyes widened.

"You heard what I said." He teased. "Me, or the prince?"

She smiled. She could play this game too. Feeling particularly bold, she pushed herself up to be eye level with Alexander. "So you're giving me a choice between an animated Maldonian prince, and a sexy Italian king?" Quinn smirked at his reddening cheeks. "Well that's obvious." She fell back into the couch and focused on the movie again. "The prince of course."

Quinn could see from the corner of her eye, that Alexander was affected by what she said.

Without a word he sunk back into the pillows of the couch and watched the movie.

"Alexander." Quinn called. He didn't answer. His clean shaven face had just began to gain its color back. She lightly touched his shoulder. "Hey,"

He glanced her way. "Yes?"

"You're not jealous are you?" She giggled softly.

He scoffed. "Hell no." He gazed at Quinn's amused expression. "Y'know, this is the part where I kiss you and say there's nothing to be jealous of."

That wiped the smile off Quinn's face. Yes of course, Alexander made her happy. He brought the best out of her, but should she be this comfortable with her employee? She sighed. This is the part where Quinn became the party pooper "Alexander-"

"Quinn," He said. "We're going to be away from New York for a couple of weeks."

"Yes," She nodded, a slight frown touching her face.

He took her hand in his. "Can I make a deal with you, Bella?"

Quinn shifted. "I don't know,"

"While we're away, the company doesn't exist." He declared. Quinn waited for an explanation. "I want us to be friends, not co-workers. For these two weeks."

"What if I don't agree?"

"Oh, gorgeous, that won't work at all." Alexander guffawed. "I'm going to kiss you before we're back in the states- that's for sure."

"Alexander," Quinn was surprised at his blunt confession. "Sei incredibile."

~~~~~

~ "Sei incredibile." Can be translated in English to "You are amazing" or "incredible", but I was going for "unbelievable."

~ I have the next chapter written- I will upload it this weekend :)
