Kat's Day Out (Choose your own path story)

4)

It took ages to make that drink. And it tasted like crap. What a disappointment. This had taken so long that Kat was getting quite stressed about time. She made it a few minutes late to work. As she walked into the office, red and flustered from speed walking with that gross drink in her hand, she was greeted by her manager. He had a disapproving look on his face.

"You are a few minutes late. That's not good Kat. I was going to give you this new project but since you didn't show up on time I sent Stef already. You can continue working on your previous project"

"Whatever" Kat thought "Just one day and then I have my weekend"

She worked halfheartedly until lunch and then decided that she needed to get out of the office. Stef wasn't in like the manager had said, so she went out alone. The area around the office was still new to her so she decided to explore.

After ten minutes of walking aimlessly she passed an odd looking dome. It looked like it was a secret botanical garden. How strange. Kat walked around the dome and found the entrance. She could tell that there weren't a lot of people in there. She walked around and looked at the pretty and exotic plants. She bent over as small flower and muttered to herself, trying to find out what it was called.

"That's a Freesia" a deep and smooth voice said from behind her.

Kat turned around in shock and came face to face with a tall and familiar person.

"Rowoon!" She shouted, a little bit too loud.

He stepped back, as shocked as she was. Rowoon looked absolutely stunning. He was wearing a short navy blue coat over a loose black sweater, and his shiny black hair hung loose to the side. He looked like straight out of a movie set.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I used to love flowers back in high school" He said cautiously. "What's your name? Kat? Nice to meet you Kat"

He extended his hand to her. She took it and he squeezed it warmly.

"So you know who I am? I haven't met a single person here that knows me, it's actually quite nice". Rowoon was friendly and Kat started feeling comfortable again.

"What are you doing here of all places" She asked him curiously.

"I'm shooting a drama that partly takes place here in London. But the weather suddenly changed so we had to take a break from shooting. Lucky me, because then I get to enjoy the city." Rowoon face suddenly lit up with excitement.

"Are you doing anything today? Do you want to show me the city?!"

"Of course!" Kat said cheerfully.

"Great!" He gave her a brilliant smile and took her hand. "So where to next?"

They walked around London hand in hand and Kat felt completely at ease around him. He was so funny and easy to talk to. After walking for hours and talking, Rowoon turned to Kat.

"Do you want to see the film set?"

The set was completely sealed off, no one without access card could come in. It was early evening and it seemed that the film crew had left already. They walked around the beautiful buildings that all looked like they were from the Victorian era.

"We're shooting a series about a vampire time traveler who gets stuck in the 19th century." Rowoon said after a while.

"So are you playing a vampire?" Kat asked. This was getting interesting.

"Yeah, but to be honest I'm not really feeling myself in that role. I'm trying very hard to immerse myself into this character but it's hard."

"Oh" Kat tried hard to hide the disappointment on her face.

Rowoon suddenly went silent. He glanced around the set.

"We really are alone right now" he said in a low voice. Then he looked at Kat. His eyes were warm and he smiled shyly. "I've been waiting for this all day"

Before Kat could say anything Rowoon pushed her gently against the wall and took her chin in his hand. He tilted her face upwards to meet his gaze. Kat was struck by how tall and beautiful he was. She could feel his body pressing gently against hers, pinning her down.

"I had fun today" Rowoon whispered.

And then he kissed her.

And he Kissed her.

And he kissed her.

His lips were so soft. The softest lips she'd ever tasted. She put her hands on his chest and felt the athletic body beneath the fabric. He stroked her hair gently and continued to kiss down her neck.

"I was thinking..." Rowoon said in between kisses. "There's this party tonight. Do you want to come with me? I'm not ready to part ways with you yet."

He didn't have to ask twice.
