It's coming close to the end of the week and Joe has been running me around crazily. I know coming here I wasn't going to be able to enjoy it, but damn can I at least get to sit at the beach for an hour? I think he's been running me around because of the attitude I have been giving him. I already hired the 40 people he wanted- you would think I would be able to get a damn break but nope. One more day in this hell hole with him then it's home- home where I have to face reality again. Stephanie has been calling me and texting me all week. She texts me again.

Girl where are you? I haven't seen you for a week.
- Steph

I'm in Mexico with our boss on a business trip 😩 I hate it here 🤬 !!!
- me

Wait what⁉️ 🤬.
- Steph

Business trip Steph!! He's been working me like a damn slave
- me

Why he didn't tell me he was going to Mexico? Ugh
- Steph

I can see she's only thinking about herself so I don't respond to her. I toss my phone on the stand and lie down. I watch as the sun begins to go down. "Tomorrow we finally go home." I said to myself.

There's knocks on the door, I open it hesitantly, "Yeah? There's something else you need me to do?"

"Nothing work related. I know I have been working you hard and it seems like I'm just having a great time, but I also have been working as well. This is our last night here and I want to take you to dinner." He was ready dressed.

"Okay. This would be the first thing I got to actually do so. I'll meet you downstairs in a few." I said then close the door.

I did pack a dress so I put it on. It was a dress I was gonna wear to the beach but it's still formal so.

Well not so much I was hoping I was gonna be able to enjoy at least a day in Mexico, but nope

Licking his lips, "If I knew you was gonna look this good I would have been taking you out to dinner

Licking his lips, "If I knew you was gonna look this good I would have been taking you out to dinner."

"Thanks?" I don't know how to take that, is it a compliment or he is hitting on me? Probably both. I never know with Joe.

He opens the door for me and we go inside. We are lead to our tables and pass menus. I ordered shrimp Rosotto and he ordered steak.

"Listen I know I have been going at you but that's because I know you can handle the work load I throw at you and I know you will get it done. You impress me."

"I impress you? Really? I try, mainly because I don't want to hear your mouth." I chuckle.

"So tell me about yourself, we barely know each other."

"There's not much to really tell to be honest. I got bachelors degrees in Business and Communication. That's probably the most exciting thing about me."

"That's gotta be something more than just that. Great achievements by the way. What do you like to do?"

He's asking me all these questions and I really don't have answers for. Thinking about it I dont have a personality at all. I don't know who I am. Opening up a little, "I really don't know."

"You don't know? Tell me something about your childhood."

"Well, I have been moved foster home to foster home so my childhood I spent to myself."

"You was adopted?"

"Never adopted after 18 you have to leave. When I was 18 I was off to college. I played sports in college."

"If you don't mind me asking how did you end up in the system?"

"Father walked out on my mom when I was 5 and my mother dropped me off at the police station." I gotten sad all over again.

"That's tough. Did you find them or thought about it?"

"A few months ago. I found my mother she didn't really have much to say in her big mansion with her husbands kids. Found out Stephanie- my best friend's father is also my father."

"Wow. Damn girl. You had it rough. But look at you now, all grown up beauty with brains."

I smile. "There it is. That smile. What sports were you into in college?"

"Volleyball. Played basketball with my college friends." I said.

"Sports girl, I like that."

"What about you? Besides work what do you enjoy doing on your free time?"

"I golf, I read a lot- love me a good book , and I coach my niece's soccer team."

"Wow you don't look like the type to golf or like children." After eating I sip my wine.

"I love kids I want a bunch of kids like 10."

"Pour girl's vagina." I chuckle almost spilling the wine from my mouth.

It was getting extremely late and we head back to our rooms. "Joe It was a good dinner."

"It's good to see you loosen up some. Thanks for opening up to me, I know that was probably hard to do, hard exterior and all."

"Whatever. Goodnight." I smile.

"Goodnight, oh we aren't leaving tomorrow. I thought since I'm a nice person and all that you can enjoy the day In Mexico before we head back to the states. A day off."

"Thanks that is very nice of you. Wonder what has gotten into you Mr. Anoa'i."

He smirks and walks to his suite. I shower and lie down to bed. Soon as my head hit the pillow I was out like a light. It was a good night. Joe is a good Dude, you can tell he is but he puts up this face. We spent the dinner chatting and just laughing which I never thought would ever happen in any lifetime. But it did. And I am happy.
