It’s the morning of the breakfast time that I am supposed to go to with Blake, but it’s raining out and Lilly is coming in today. All I really want to do is stay in bed, relax , watch a movie and enjoy the sound of the rain hitting the window glass. I decided that I would go have breakfast with him to see what he had to say . I was fully dressed wearing jeans and a pull over sweater not up to trying to impress anyone. I threw my hair up in a bun and did a quick make up job. I received a text from Blake’s driver saying, “Eta 3 minutes.” I knew I needed to be heading down to wait for the car to arrive but all of a sudden my nerves began to get the best of me.. I was feeling some kind of way about him, granted he always seemed to have an attitude but I feel like there is another side to him simply because the way he always looks at me like I belong to him. Getting caught up in my thoughts, ten minutes had gone by and I freaked out, grabbing my clutch. I grabbed the door handle, took a deep ass breath and proceeded to head out to the car. It seemed like the ride to the cafe took forever but i was there in like 10 minutes. Walking into the cafe I saw him sitting at a little table in the back corner where it was dimly lit and the smell of the coffee aromas filled the air. Once again I took a deep breath and thought to myself here goes nothing. Approaching the table he stood up and pulled out my chair and I noticed there was a single yellow rose on my napkin. It smelled so fresh. I thought again to myself maybe there is another side to him, a gentler more caring side. He motioned for them to bring breakfast and within seconds we were served. They brought eggs, bacon, sausage links, pancakes, and muffins. He didn't know what I ate so he ordered multiple things. As we made small talk i told him about most of my life, where i came from, about my family and friends, my hobbies, and why i moved to New York. As I took a sip of my coffee Blake enlightened me of what he thought of my performance and work. I didn't know Mrs. Clark and he were so close. Maybe I could get some advice from her about his attitude. As he proceeded to tell me how great i am at being his new personal assistant i felt the heat rise in my face and i put my head down looking at my hands, when all of a sudden i felt his warm thick hands under my chin lifting my face to meet his eyes. I could have melted right there in the seat. “That is one of the best features I like about you,” he said. What did he just say that's what he likes about me? Um hello am a daydreaming please someone pinch me and wake me up. I really couldn't believe he had paid any bit of attention towards me. Breakfast was over and I needed to get back to my apartment and prep for the arrival of Lilly. “Will you let me take you home?” he asked. “Yes I guess that will be fine.” I stated. The car ride all the way back to my apartment was silent, not one word was spoken between us. I couldn't read anything on him. We pulled up at my apartment and he walked me to my door. I briefly made eye contact with him thanking him for breakfast and the rose. Then explained that I really needed to go and get ready for when Lilly arrived. After he left I tidied up my apartment and then put a movie on. Lilly’s flight would land at 2 P.M. and she has my address to have an Uber driver drop her off. I couldn't wait. I knew we would have plenty of girl time to catch up on things. I have missed her dearly. She was really upset when she found out I was moving but she understood why I needed a fresh start. I don't think I could ever move back home. I just didn't want to have that part of my life come back. Watching the movie I drifted off to sleep when all of a sudden there was a knock at the door and someone screaming “Hello where the hell is my best friend.” “Is anyone home.” I jumped up knowing that voice from anywhere. As I opened the door she threw herself at me squeezing the life out of me. I knew Lilly missed hanging with me just as much as I missed her. We sat on the couch gossiping and catching up on the new journeys in our lives. Lilly was dating someone she met at her job. She was a nurse and worked in the hospital. She loved helping people. I haven't had the chance to discuss my new life with her yet and I was a little worried too. As she was talking about her and her new boyfriend my phone buzzed. I glanced at the name and number wondering what in the hell could he want. He knew my plans for the rest of the weekend. I rolled my eyes and opened the text. “Nail salon 4:45P.M. dont be late.” is all it said. What the fuck is going on what did he mean by this text message. Lilly must have seen the expression on my face because she asked, “Who the hell is that and why did you just roll your eyes?” I smiled and said, “Oh no one just my arrogant ass boss who had an attitude 90% of the time.” “Really! Well I can teach him how to lose that attitude if you want me to?” “No,” I replied. “Everything will be okay. I love my job, and I am very good at it.” “Well what does it say?” Lilly inquired. “Nail salon 4:45P.M. dont be late.” I replied. “Well we had better freshen up and I will call an Uber to take us there,” i let her know, pointing to the restroom. I headed to my room to call for an Uber when another message appeared “Jake, my chauffeur will pick you and your friend up and take you to the nail salon.” I am standing in the middle of my bedroom thinking to myself what in the world is going on with him, and why is he all of a sudden acting so nice? Lilly and I had gotten freshened up and I informed her of the change in plans. All she did was smirk and give me a crazy look. Getting into the back set of the car Lilly and I gossiped some more all the way to the nail place. As soon as we opened the door we were met with champagne glasses with raspberry and white wine, and bouquets of different freshly picked flowers there  pink and white carnations, sunflowers and daisies. I couldn't believe he did this. I quickly sent him a message, “Thank you for this but you really didn't have to.” I was puzzled but appreciated his effort. “Ding! Ding! Ding!” my phone went off again. Opening the message to see, “There’s more after this so be prepared.” I showed Lilly my phone and shook my head not knowing what to think. What had he planned for us and why?
