Cassey's boss is a star at work, and also a scamp who won't let her say the word 'Love'. She should have ended it then, but his sweet lips won't let her go that easily...
"Time for you to decide. What do you want should happen tonight?"

CASSEY'S POV
Brian - "You really don't remember anything? Not even how wet you were?"
WOW. He... He really just said that... I make my hands into fists on my lap. I try not to show how embarrassed I am. Meanwhile, Mr.Jones watches me, his expression very quiet. I don't know what he's thinking. I can't read him at all.
Brian - "I feel bad about the other night. I do.
Cassey - "You shouldn't... I mean, it's my fault, too..."
Brian - "You looked really cute the way you sat here enjoying your wine. I was pushy. By the way, you're very talkative when you drink."
He downs the rest of his brandy, a funny smile on his face. He orders seconds for both of us, then slowly begins speaking again.
Brian - "That night... you..."
Cassey - "Oh, no. Did I do something weird?!"
Brian - "Well.... it does embarrass me to say this out loud."
I did something that embarrasses Mr.Jones? What the heck did I do...? I can feel the blood drain from my face. I wait to hear what he'll say next, but I want to run and hide.
Brian - "You spoke passionately about how much you respect me. How much you like me, and a commercial I worked on."
Cassey - "...huh?"
He means.... the SLR commercial I saw years ago? Wait, so... I got drunk and told him about that? The man himself?! I'm so embarrassed, I can't look at him. But he seems to be enjoying that, too.
Brian - "You were already sounding a little tipsy, and you were working hard to make your point... It was fun listening to you. I couldn't help myself, and didn't let you go home until it was already rather late. We finally decided it was time to go. We walked out of the bar only to find ourselves in the middle of a downpour. I told you to wait, but you just walked off in some random direction."
Wait.... so when he said "Not even how wet you were?" he meant I was wet from the rain? He was... teasing me?! He wears another one of his mysterious smiles. He swirls the brandy in his glass a little, and I hear the ice cubes gently clink together.
Brian - "I got you to take a taxi, but before I could get your address, you fell asleep. So then I booked a room in a nearby hotel..."
Oh, yeah.... I kind of remember now. At the hotel, Mr.Jones said, "You're going to catch a cold," and helped me change out of my clothes.
*FLASHBACK
Cassey - "Hmm... Mr.Jones..."
Brian - "Yes?"
Cassey - "I've admired you for the longest time."
Brian - "oh, boy..."
Cassey - "...Getting to talk to you like this is like a dream come true... I love you..."
