Thorns and Roses

Chapter 4: Date?

*EDITED*

It's been a few weeks since I had started to work at Black Industries and so far everything has been going smoothly.

I had just dropped Zac off at school as I rush into Black Industries with Mr. Blacks coffee, as I reach his desk, I realize that I was five minutes late, I curse to myself as I exit the elevator, I enter my office putting everything down and head to Mr. Black's office. I then proceed to knock on the door

"Come in" I hear that husky voice that gives me butterflies all the time "your late," he says making me stiffen as I place the coffee on his desk he continues to sign papers "I'm sorry Sir I had an issue with Zac -" Before I could finish my sentence  he stands from his desk and grasps on to my waist as he holds me tightly " who is Zac," he says harshly "m-my 5-year-old brother s-sir" I feel him loosen up as he goes back to his desk, "5-year-old brother? don't you think that's too much of an age gap between you too, people might think your his mother," he says as he eye rakes me "I know it's quite a big age gap but I don't mind," I say while smiling "and your parents shouldn't it be their responsibility?" I stiffen as he mentioned parents "umm it's personal" I see him look at me "very well then, I need to to write notes during my meeting today with King Industries, I also need a photocopy of the blueprints before the meeting today and I need you to schedule a dinner for 2 at the Le An Ross tomorrow at 8" I write everything down "anything else sir" he looked at me and walked around his desk until he was standing right in front of me, his tall and brood figure covered me completely I felt so small. "Yes Ms. Rose." he brushed his hand across my hair "call me Damon, not sir" he walked back to his desk and sat down dismissing me to leave.

I walk back into my office and get straight to work getting all the things he needs before the meeting "sir, I mean Damon, I have conference room 1A ready for you" he then gets up and as I follow him where the meeting will be held. Moments of silence pass as we have the things walk in, "ah Damon Black let's get started shall we and this is your new PA...Athena?"I recognized this voice I look up to see Zander standing there "Zander? I mean Mr. King" I notice that Damon looks rather ridged. *Cough Cough* we have our attention to Damon now "may we begin" he says in a deep voice

I begin to take notes and can't help but notice the glances that Zander takes at me. I feel a blush come along my cheeks, curse this blushing. the meeting was over just as the Kings were about to leave I see Zander walk up to me and hold my hand "I do hope we can get that coffee, till we meet again" he about to kiss my hand just before I'm being pulled back roughly away "That is all Zander" Damon roughly spoke. Zander glared at him but then smiled at me before walking out.

It was just me and Damon, I wanted to walk out but before I did I feel a hard chest on my back "What was that? How do you know Zander and What the F*CK IS HE TO YOU" I turn to see Damon as he glared at me "First of all its none of your business to know what goes on in my personal life, second of all I will not allow you or anyone in that manner to speak to me like that" little did I know I made a mistake by saying it wasn't his business... I could see his face begin to darken as I began to step back, I gasp as the wall met my back, nowhere to run. He moved slightly as my body flinched, I began to tremble seconds pass as I look up to him, he was in shock.

He gently placed his arms around me hugging me. for some reason my body relaxed in his embrace "Princess, why did you flinch the way you did. Are you scared of me? I would never hurt you." he whispered softly in my ear I tried to move but his hug became tighter. After moments pass I moved and I don't know what came over me but I end up cupping his face gently. I look into his eyes and before I realize it his lips are placed on mine, we began to kiss as he gently licks the bottom of my lip as I bite the bottom of his lip gently causing him to moan, I begin to brush my hands through his hair s his hands roam my body as our tongues intertwine with one another. Moments pass I break the kiss. I then blush "omg what the hell just happened," I said placing my fingertips on my lips

"I'll tell you what happened You Are Mine and only Mine" he then places a gentle kiss on my fingertips making me gasp. 

"tomorrow ill pick you up at 8," he said before leaving "wait what," I said without realizing what the heck is going on "tomorrow at 8 is the grand opening at Le An Ross Restaurant and you will accompany me as my date" he winked as my before leaving, this man...

......

I miss Zac going to Diane's I knock on the door seeing Diane looking amazing as usual "SISSYYYY" I hear Zac Behind her. "Bye aunty Diane," Zac said as he skipped on the spot, "thank you again Diane I owe you one" I smile at her " Oh it's not a problem Tony and him are like brothers it's so adorable, but we should hang out sometime" Diane looked at me "defiantly, anyways have a great night bye Tony goodnight D," I said as I took Zac home

*Later at Home*

"Wanna watch a movie?" I said to Zac as if his eyes began to glow with excitement as he jumped around putting on the Lorax as we watched I suddenly heard a ping from my phone seeing a text message from Zander...
*texts*
Z-" you looked stunning today, I wish we could have more time together"

A-"thank you, I'm sorry about Damon, he's kind of possessive sometimes"

Z-"you don't say, but if I had you by my side, I would be too "

A-"may I ask something weird, why were you at Zac's school now that I think of it, do you have a kid?"

Z-" funny you ask, I was forced by my sister to come with her to pick up my niece maybe I can introduce you both sometime"

A-"that would be nice, anyways Zac and I are having a movie night I'll talk to you soon"

Z-"next time invite me, but have fun, goodnight love"

he's cute I'm not even gonna lie, Zac and I end up falling asleep on the couch.
