Walking into Christians penthouse, I couldn't help but gawk at it. I stood in the entranceway in shock.

Before me, was the entrance leading to the open living room, the wall in front of me was actually a huge window staring out in the city of Seattle. It was a cloudy day and in the distance, I could see lightning but it didn't affect the view in any way.

I walked more in, sitting my suitcase on the floor as I stared around at his penthouse. It smelt like lemon, freshly cleaned. The living room had two very white couches and modern type decor. To the left was the open kitchen. Nice marbled counters decorated with live plants of sorts. It leads me to believe that Christian most definitely pays someone to keep up with the housework like cleaning and watering the plants.

I stared in awe at the beautiful place. It was bigger than me and my mother's previous house.

"Do you like it?" Christian asks, walking up behind me, his arms snaking around my waist and pulling me close to him. He kissed my exposed neck moving my hair a bit.

"It's very nice." I turn, looking at him with a smile.

He leaned in swiftly, capturing my lips on his where he kissed me softly.

"Come I'll show you the room." He let go of me to grab our bags. I followed him up a few steps that lead to a sort of lounge area. It had soft-looking black sofas and bookshelves full of books of many genres. To the right of the lounge area were two doors that Christian opened up revealing the room.

Inside was a king-sized canopy bed made with white sheets. There was a small dresser, another door that I assumed lead to the bathroom.

To the left of the room was a sliding door that lead to the balcony that I'd be sure to go out and enjoy.

"This is the bathroom." I follow Christian into the bathroom. Inside was a huge tub, jacuzzi jets and all. There was also a shower that had a type of touch screen with many settings. I knew I probably wouldn't be able to figure out how to use it, it looked way too expensive to figure out.

The bathroom also had 2 sinks and a huge mirror that I knew I just had to take at least one selfie in for Mellisa.

"Do you come here a lot?" I question while walking back into the lounge area. I examined the books that were on the shelves wondering if he'd ever really read any of them.

"Occasionally. Not so much lately but whenever I feel like getting away." He nods.

"So what's first on the agenda?" I turn towards him with a smile.

I knew he had said this wasn't just a getaway, he'd also had some business to conduct.

"Well, I did try and schedule all my work things for today. I have a charity event to attend and a meeting that will without a doubt take at least 3 hours tomorrow morning." It all sounded dreadful and I guess my facial expression gave it away.

"And after that the rest of the weekend is ours." He grabbed me by the waist leaning in and softly pecking my lips.

"But for now we're attending a charity event." He gave me a wink knowing very well I had no desire to go.

Charity, something I'd never have the money to give to. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm also considered charity. I'm so broke it isn't even funny.

I felt forced to dress in a dress my mom would've made me wear to attend a charity event I also felt like my mother would've made me go to.

I wore a red longish dress that had two slits on either side exposing my legs a bit. I put my hair in a bun and did some light makeup. I paired the dress with some black heeled sandals.
