Adian looked at her in concern, he has never seen her this nervous. He took her hands in his, rubbed his thumbs on her knuckles in a soothing manner.

"Hey... What has got you so nervous ,you do know thar you can tell me anything, right?" he tried to assure her.
She regrouped herself, gazing deep into his eyes, taking courage from his words; she finally said.

"Well, there is a something about me, which I have hidden from you, more like omitted to mention. I am scared to reveal, but I don't want to start whatever this is between us with secrets." She looked at him imploringly to gauge some reaction, but she got only encouragement from him to continue.

"You don't remember me, but we were friends in school, and I left before informing you, for which I am truly sorry." He seemed a bit lost in his thought, as if to try and link his memory to what she was saying; examining her from head to toe with shrewd.

" I don't understand" he said when he couldn't relate to what she was saying.

" Ed Eddy Adian sitting on a tree; with his cute little friend being angry" she said in a sing song manner; like a switch being turning on, his eyes lit up with memories of them playing together.

"Oh my God!! Emy." he cried out with happiness "I can't believe it's you, after all these years" he hugged the life out of her.

Once we got over the shock of meeting his childhood best friend; he tried to look angry "why did you leave without telling me,I searched and waited for you, so long."

"I know I am sorry. So do you still want to date me?" She bit her lips.

Adian drew her in his arms and kissed the breath out of her.

"Does this answer your question" he raised his brow arrogantly at her.

She hit his arm and hugged him while telling him how sorry she was and how much she missed him.

After some time he took her home, through out the journey they were reminiscing their childhood days.

They reached her home, he waited for her to invite him in, but she didn't.

"Thank you, for the date I really enjoyed it." She smiled.

"Pleasure was all mine, thank you for accepting the date"

"So, see you tomorrow in office. Good night" she pecked his lips lightly, and rushed out of the car, leaving a surprised Adian behind.

He couldn't believe it she initiated a kiss, even though it was just a peck.
He waited for her to enter the building, once she was in, he drove off in a happy bubble.

But he didn't know that, this wasn't her home she waited for him to leave and then called her driver to pick her up.

She knew that this was wrong, but she could neither tell him the truth nor leave him.
