MINE, and MINE only.

chapter 14

Edited

***

It has been about a week since I had my date with James, work has been busy because of the upcoming charity event that the company is hosting. Every body is literally flying around trying to please the boss, while the boss himself has been a Tiran to some people. I think he's looking for a new secretary and I have seen so many girls going through the entrance hall crying coming from his office.

I have talked for a little bit with him over the week, but not that much. I totally understand that he's busy.

I have been sitting at my desk for a while now, I'm starving and I almost have my break. Just when I thought only half an hour till my break the office just fell silent. I look up from my desk and I see everybody just looking up at the entrance of our big office. There standing in the threshold is standing the CEO James O'Donnell (I changed his last name because I wasn't happy with it).

With long strides and a determined look on his face he stalks towards me, I gulp trying to think of things that I might have done wrong. No matter how much I wreck my brain I can't think of something I've done. I also haven't been avoiding his calls or text, which I have been doing with Oliver. I just reply to his text to let him know I'm still alive. While I was in my little reverie, James managed to walk up to my desk.

He cleared his throat "Miss Heide, when are you on your break?"

"In half an hour sir." I say politely.

"Well consider that you have your break now, pack your stuff Miss Heide. I need to talk to you, will do this over lunch, so we will not waste time."

"Of course Sir, just give me a minute."

He just gives me a silent nod and let's me pack my stuff, I grap my wallet and my phone. And stand up.

"After you sir." I say while making a chestier towards the door.

We walk together out of the office, when I want to go towards the normal canteen I'm stopped by James.

"I have made reservations somewhere else, I have the feeling I have been quite neglecting you since our date while it went so well." James states.

"You haven't been neglecting me, James. It has been extremely busy with the upcoming charity event, of course you wouldn't have all the time for me. I understand that."

We walk trough the door and almost immediately a sleek black car pulls up, I can see the private driver of James sitting in the driver seat. I silently chuckle at him, he has everybody laying at his feet, every one to call at his bidding. It kind of reminds me off Oliver, he also always got everything within an instant without even having to fight for it. I guess it had something to do with the fact that he claims to rule as an "Alpha werewolf".

"What are you laughing about?" James asks while holding open the door for me.

"Just something that reminded me of an ex."

"You guys recently split up?" He asks, I think for a moment if I should tell him, or that I should not tell him. I decide against it.

"Yes, recently and we didn't split up on good terms. I left him because he told me a ridiculous lie, and he was overly protective. I don't think he's over it yet. But that's in the past now and I'm trying to move forward." I say, and I slip into the car, scooting over to the other side of the car.

He slips in the car to, I can see the doubt on his face, he wants to say something but he doesn't.

"Well it's only good if it's in the past isn't it." He says with a smile on his face.

I give him a weak smile trying to come around as happy but I don't think he believed it. Thank the lord he didn't press the matter any further.

"To the restaurant, Smith." James says to the driver after the black parting screen went down. It went up just as quick as it went down, and we drive away towards the restaurant.

A short 20 minutes later we arrive at the restaurant, it might have been a short 10 minutes but NY traffic is a bitch. And even thought you have some privileges as to using special lanes there's only so much you can do.

We get a private table in the back off the restaurant away from the eye of curious people. When we walked trough the restaurant I could feel the eyes burning in my back, a definite downside of dating somebody so well known. Everybody just believes that you're just a gold digging whore.

"So what kind off business did you want to talk about?" I say while skimming over the food card, trying to start a conversation and break the awkward silence.

"Please Lotte, no more business conversations, what would I need to discuss with you anyway." He says with a smirk on his face "I just wanted a distraction from all the things, and some company."

"Well then lets start this distraction" I say, as a waiter walks up to our table.

"Would you want something to drink?" The waiter asks. James gives me a hand gesture, telling me to speak first.

"Just water please." I say politely

"Whiskey" James says, no tone of politeness in his voice.

The waiter gives us a small nod, and walks off. As soon as the waiter is out of sight I scold at James.

"Can you be any ruder?" I ask James

"What do you mean, she's just a waiter." James asks. I look at him in shock, he did not just seriously say that.

"Just a waiter, there people to. Working hard for there money, you can at least be a little bit grateful of them."

"Your protecting a waiter, that interests me. Why do you protect a waiter?"

"Well once upon a time, when I didn't have a steady job I had to pay off my student debts. So I was a waiter, people are bitches to waiters. People leave really low tips and I was struggling to come pay rent. I despise people who are mean to waiters."

"Well then I'm sorry for my behaviour." James says.

"But now about other things, the charity event." James says.

"I thought we wouldn't discuss business during this lunch." I say with a smirk on my face.

"This isn't really about business, I was wondering if you had a date for the charity event."

"No I do not." I say curious with what he wants with this.

James lays his hand on top off my hand and stares deep in my eyes, "Would you attend the ball with me, as my date?" He asks.

"I would love to attend the ball with you, as my date." I say

And suddenly every cameras are flashing, James jumps up trying to shield me from the paparazzi's and I'm here just frozen on my seat. In the distant I hear James yelling at the staff to get the pap's out of here.
