Heartbreaker

Chapter 2

As I walked into the pub, the smell of alcohol and cigarette smoke hit me dead in the face. Damn it smells like shit in here. I've never really been much of a drinking but I guess I'm going to have to put that aside right now.
I spotted Mason at the end of the bar sitting alone holding a glass full of beer in his hand. I made my way over to him and sat down in the stool right next to him.
"Hey, what's good here?" I asked.
He looked over at me and gave me a genuine smile.
"Hi, they make really good burgers I actually just ordered mine," he said. " I can order for you if you'd like?"
"I would love that," I gave him a big smile.
"So what brings a beautiful girl like you into a place like this?" He asked with a chuckle.
"I don't know I was walking around and figured I'd stop for a beer," I said giving him a flirtatious look.
"Oh is that so," he asked flirting right back.
I got him
Suddenly I felt someone touching my lower back; I turned around to find a middle aged man smirking at me. He was clearly wasted but that's no excuse.
"Hey baby," the old man slurred. "You wanna come back to my place?"
He reeked of beer and smoke. I gave him a tight smile trying to control my anger.
"You're old enough to be my father," I stated. "Have a good day and don't drive in the state you're in."
He huffed angrily and grabbed my wrist forcing me up from my stool. I twist my wrist and knee him in the dick. As he hunched over I took this chance to grab him by the ear and pulled him close to me.
"Listen to me and listen to me good," I hissed. "You will not go around touching women like they are you're property. If I ever catch you doing that again to anyone, I will cut your balls off and feed them to you. Do you understand me?"
He looked up at me with shock and so much fear. It honestly gave me a thrill.
"Y-yess, ma'am," he stuttered.
I pulled back my free hand and punched him straight on his face knocking him to the ground.
As I turned around I noticed everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at me shell shocked. I hopped back up onto my stool and looked over at Mason, who was still staring with his mouth wide open and eyes popping out of his eye sockets.
"So where were we at?" I asked taking in a deep breath.
"What.. how..?" He questioned, confused about what he seen.
"I have to go back to work," I said looking at my watch.
I didn't really have to but I also wanted to be mysterious.
"Can I have your number?" Mason asked.
He fell for it
"Of course you can," I said writing it on a napkin and giving him a wink.
I hopped off my stool and walked towards the exit not even giving him a second glance.

On the walk back to the office my phone buzzed. Damn he's texting me already?
Mason: I know I'm breaking the rules by texting you so quickly but I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date...
Me: I'd have to think about it... what's in it for me?
Mason: anything you want.
Me: sounds tempting ;)
Mason: meet me at Per Se at 5 pm tonight
Me: can we make it 7pm? I have a business meeting at 5pm it might take long.
Mason: of course! I'll see you tonight ;)

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful; I made a plan for my relationship with Mason and looked over my information on Kyle to make sure I'm good at dinner tonight.
I pulled up to Applebee's to meet with Kyle. He loved eating here and honestly I don't mind too much either.
Tonight is the night I break his heart
I walked into Applebee's and spotted him right away. He's the only guy in here with long blonde hair pulled back in a man bun.
He stood up with a huge smile on his face. Giving me a hug and kiss. He pulled out my chair and then took his seat.
"Goddamn, Alexandra, you look beautiful," he gushed.
"Aww honey, you sound like you're in love with me or something," I laughed knowing damn well he's close to it.
"I am in love with you," he confessed giving a nervous laugh.
He scratched the back of his head and was avoiding eye contact; I can tell the this is the first time he's ever actually meant it.
I start bursting out laughing.
Damn this is going better than I thought it would
" I could never love you," I said through my laughter getting up out of my seat.
I turned around and walked right out the door not allowing him to get another word in.
That was shorter than I thought it would be honestly. I hopped back into my Mercedes Benz C 300 and headed back to my penthouse apartment.
I needed to dress sexy as hell to impress him. I look around through my closet and find a nice short black dress that goes just above my knees. The back is completely lace and the sleeves were long. It covered up enough to let him know he's not getting laid but shows enough to leave his imagination running wild.
I looked at myself in the mirror after completing  my makeup and hair.
I looked beautiful. My dark brown hair was curled leaving it hang freely half way down my back. The dark eyeliner made my hazel eyes pop. I finished up putting on the pink lipstick.
I looked down at my phone and see it's 6:40pm and I missed a phone call from Mason. I decided to call him back hopefully he's not cancelling.
"Hey," he said.
"Hey, you called?" I asked.
"Yes I wanted to pick you up instead of having you drive, what's your address?" He asked.
"560 6th ave penthouse A," I told him.
"Okay I'll be there in 15," he said before hanging up.
I sat down on my comfy white couch and thought about what I'm going to do on this date. 
I hope he likes how I look
What the hell is wrong with me? Why do I care so much about what this asshole thinks?
He slept with his girlfriends sister
I had to remind myself. After all he didn't even try to defend me when that old man was practically dragging me off my seat.
I don't need a man to protect me; I'm a strong independent woman who can take care of herself
Ugh this is exhausting arguing with myself.
I look at the screen and see a young teenage couple kissing and I wondered what that's like. Sure, I've kissed guys before but I've never loved them or even felt half the amount of passion and love that these two felt for each other.
What the hell am I even thinking? That never lasts all it does is leave you broken.
And I, Alexandra Marie Adams, will never be broken 

I heard my house phone ring and picked it up from my end table.
"Hello?"  I said answering the phone.
"Ms. Adams, you have a male here to see you his name is Mason Johnson. Do you want me to send him up?" Melvin at the front desk asked.
"No it's okay, Melvin, I'm on my way down."

I walked out into the main lobby and my heart started pounding in my chest. Mason was standing there in a black suit and a white button up. His hair perfectly curly. He looked like he was in a magazine.
Damn, he's sexy
He looked at me and gave me a big smile.
"Shall we?" He asked putting his arm out so I can put my arm through his. Our skin touching felt so good; it felt right.
I'm in big trouble
