Eleanor has been settled into her office after her rush towards the office. This morning she had woken up late and had to rush through everything to just get here on time. She had a hard time falling asleep and when she finally did she heard her alarm clock go off.

Now she sat stacked with a bunch of papers that she'd been meaning to do. The clinic wasn't as busy as the rest of the week. She was greatful that it wasn't because she needed this done by tomorrow.

"Who is it?" She asked when she heard a knock on the door.

The knock continued making her sigh and allow the person to come in. Her purse was put on the desk making her look up only to see Roman.

"You should really make sure you don't leave your purse laying around." He stated making her smile.

"Thank you for returning it...but how did you know where to find me?" She asked.

"Your card is inside." He told her taking a seat from across. "You look more organised than earlier."

"Yeah..." She trailed off smiling. "How could I ever repay you for bringing my purse back. I didn't even notice it wasn't in my bag." She stated feeling greatful as ever can be that he'd returned her purse.

"No payment necessary, its the right thing to do." He told her.

"No really I want to because if it weren't for you I'd be stressing... again." She said feeling the need to pay him back somehow. "I could take you out for coffee or something."

Roman sat looking at her with an amused look on his face. He could tell she was very soft, maybe too soft in the kind of world he lives in. With the thought of bringing her into his world he couldn't help but fight with himself. He wanted her, he wanted her with him so bad but he couldn't do that to her. Her innocence was displayed like a sale for woman's footwear.

"No." He told her standing up. She's too innocent. "No thanks necessary." He told her before leaving out his office.

He was saving himself from any trouble that may come this way. She too delicate. He told himself. There's no way she could handle his lifestyle. He'd be damned if he knew he was the cause of something happening to her.

"Gabriel pick your words wisely or I swear I will kill you right here right now." Roman threatened seeing the cheeky smirk on his face.

"I wasn't going to say anything." He simply shrugged before walking towards the car. "I just hope that you did the right thing by not dragging her to your dark and gloomy life." He snickered.

"As if yours is any different."

"I feel like an idiot." Eleanor shook her head as she ate some ice cream with Kyle.

"You shouldn't babe. I mean you took a leap of faith." He shrugged sheepishly.

"Yeah and where did that get me? I got rejected by an angel kissed man." She whined.

"So it's that bad?" He arched his brow.

"Yes Kyle." She exclaimed.

Kyle abortedly stood up and grabbed his best friends hand and dragged her towards the closet. He sat her down on the couch and began ramaging through her closet.

"Kyle what are you doing?" She asked him.

"We are going to get you over that kissed by an angel man and get you someone different." He told her throwing clothes in her direction.
