*

Aria and Henry's relationship went from just neighbors wanting to share a bottle of wine to sharing dinner and even movie nights. She found herself getting more and more involved with his charming personality while the thought of Frank fade out the window.

Henry was a charmer. If he wasn't at the clinic saving lives, he'd be home trying new recipe at his kitchen with Aria being the first to grab a bite. One could tell how rapidly things were moving between them.

Henry was mesmerized by Aria and her simplicity as he would rather spend each day beside her trying to woe her little by little even though she was the age of his elder sister.

She was still perfect.

The sound of her laughter does things to his mind as he could only dream of waking up to those enchanting voice of hers each single passing day.

Aria on the other hand doesn't know exactly how she feels about her new friend/neighbor but was more than comfortable having him around.

Going out of his way to make sure she eat okay and was living right_was something she was starting to get really used to.

Henry has invited her out for dinner that evening so they could spend some time out after being cooked up in the clinic all week and she couldn't refuse as she has equally had a lot to finish at the office that week as well.

They both needed the time out plus she wanted to do something nice for him as well as he has been nothing but sweet to her.

Dressed in her simple floral gown that extended just a little bit below her knees and paired with her six inches heel. She had her sliver cross bag clutched in one hand as she stood contemplating if she was overdressed for a simple dinner or not.

And with her hair in a ponytail, she was out the door, heading towards the drive way where Henry was waiting beside his car for her.

Henry on the other hand was clothed in a causal body hug shirt, and paired with a dark blue Jean and a white canvas to go with. He looked quite charming dressed like he is about to hit the runway in that outfit.

"Oh boy! How did I get so damn lucky?" He exclaimed dramatically smiling at the approaching beauty.

"I don't look that bad do I?" Aria asked before checking herself out.

Taking her hand in his before kissing it lightly, he looked eyes with her before giving her a compliment.

"You look phenomenal my dear. I can dazzle in your beauty all night if we ought not to beat the traffic so come on let go; shall we?"

She answered with a cute nod and a smile as he led her towards the passenger side and pulled the door to his Camry spider open and ushered her into the passenger seat before turning around to take his place beside her.

He took a quick sideways glance at her one more time before he took off towards their destination.

Earlier that day.....

Frank had asked his secretary to book a business dinner with his new investors in any of the good restaurant in town as a way of appreciating them for investing in his company.

These past weeks has been nothing but work, work and work as the thought of anything else could only upset him.

He has done nothing but bury himself deep into his office work lately. That was the only way he'd keep her out of his mind.

Frank needed to distract himself with work as much as he could while he still made sure to retire home to more work.

How else could he forget her. He was a coward to have left her apartment that day without saying a single word to clear every misunderstanding she had going on in her head but he couldn't bring himself to say it.
