Crazy Town

Dating

Eleanor's POV

'And the more I work with him the more friendly and flirty he becomes, he was strict when I first joined and I heard all of the rumours about him, but now he's not even living up to the rumours, he's kind and buys me lunch and let's me work from his beautiful mansion, and he took me on a date' I sigh dreamily, leaning my chin on my hand that perched on the table.

'Are you done yet? You've literally been talking about Mr Andrews for our whole lunch break' Allison rolls her eyes, finishing off her chips.

I sigh dramatically before gulping down the rest of my water, 'I think I might really like him' 

'Well, if you ever do start dating I will be very happy for you... very surprised, but also very happy, I'm pretty sure he's a virgin too' Allison says, waving down a nearby waiter and signalling for him to bring the bill. We split the bill before getting up and slowly making our way back to work, 'Did he say anything after the police came yesterday?'

'He asked me why they came to see me and I explained that I had visited the hospital because he said his dad is there and he told me that his dad doesn't have the same surname as him, but he wasn't angry or anything' I explain, she nods, 'Speaking of which, I saw Logan the day I went to visit the hospital' 

'What? Logan? Really? But there was another murder that night' Allison exclaims, I nod. 

'He said he had a job to do so we didn't talk much, but he recognised me' I tell her, chewing on my bottom lip.

'Eleanor... you don't think it's him do you? Killing those people? Have I been sleeping with a serial killer all this time?' Allison's eyebrows pull together in worry as she clutches my arm. We enter into the building together and wait patiently for the elevator. 

'I don't know Ally, he is a gang leader after all and he has a gun and he was there on the night of the murder, but we don't know for definite, it may not be him' I try to assure her as we step into the elevator and I press the button for the top floor.

It was almost the end of the day and James had left about an hour ago, saying he had to go and pick something up but that he wouldn't be too long. Allison spent the rest of the day after our lunch break worrying about whether or not she was sleeping with a serial killer, she wouldn't listen no matter how many times I had told her that it probably isn't him, the police probably already have an eye on him... but I didn't even know for sure whether or not it's Logan who's killing the patients of the hospital. 

I lean on my hand, my other hand clicking lazily at the computer, I had finished my work for the day and was currently just doing admin work and making sure the computer was organised. My office door is suddenly pushed open, making me jump slightly. James steps into the office looking sharp in his black designer suit, he smirks at me and I can feel the heat rising to my cheeks, 'You're back' I squeak out embarrassingly.

'I brought you something, I want you to get changed and then we're going somewhere' he tells me as he walks over to my desk, he places a large bag down on my table, a designer name written in bold on the front of the bag.

'Where are we going?' I ask, my eyebrows furrowing in confusion, he just winks at me before turning to leave my office. My cheeks became even hotter as I blushed harder, I'm sure you could fry an egg on them at this point. I eagerly stood up and peered into the bag where there were two white boxes, I pulled them both out and opened them, in the larger box there was a beautiful floor length red dress with sequin detailing around the middle, mimicking a belt. I gasped. The other belt had a pair of red heels that were exactly my size, I look over at his office as the curtain was open, he sat back on his chair, a hand resting gently on his chin supporting his head as he stared straight at me.

I bit my bottom lip, gathering the dress and the shoes before shuffling out of my office, I didn't see Allison at her desk and her bag wasn't there, he probably sent her home, I made my way over to the bathroom to change. The dress was beautiful, it was tight and hugged my body before flowing down in a mermaid style, the heels were surprisingly comfortable, I fixed my hair and touched up my makeup before exiting the bathroom, James was already waiting in the hallway and had my bag in his hands.

He grinned as soon as I walked towards him, heels clicking against the marble floor, 'You look so elegant and beautiful' I blush, why is he doing all of this?

He offers me his arm which I gladly take to ensure I don't fall in these heels and we make our way to the elevator, 'Are you not going to tell me where we're going?' I ask, he shakes his head, smirking mischievously.

The elevator dings as we reach the ground floor and we step out walking past the receptionist who I could feel was staring at us and outside towards his car. He kindly holds the door open for me and I slide in, readjusting the dress before placing my bag on my lap, he closes the door before running over and getting into the driver's side and starting the car.

The drive wasn't very long, only about fifteen minutes, we reach a part of the town which is lined with expensive fancy restaurants and a couple of hotels. He opens the door for me as I step out, I hold onto his arm as we make our way inside one of the restaurants, it's a warm evening so the waiter that greets us leads out the back of the restaurant to a beautiful garden, seating us at a two-person table.

I study the menu until the waiter returns, asking what we'd like to order, James orders the lobster Thermidor whilst I order the seafood pasta. 'Eleanor, since our first date we have become closer at work and you have even worked from my home office, you are the only person who has set foot in my home' he tells me, I nod slowly. 

'Yes, I have realised that you haven't quite lived up to the rumours that many people warned me about when I first moved to this town and started working as your PA' I sip my water, blushing slightly.

He chuckles, 'Personally I think I do live up to those rumours, but you are different Eleanor, you've captured my attention in a way that nobody has ever done before and I have realised most recently that I am falling in love with you'

I could feel my cheeks going red as I diverted my eyes down to the table, I was relieved when the waiter showed up with our meals, I could use my pasta as a distraction, I glanced up at him after the waiter left to find he was staring at me, 'I-I think I'm falling in love with y-you too' I mumble shyly, but he heard me, I could tell by the smirk that tugged at his lips.

'I'm glad, but it's important for you to know that there are a lot of things you don't yet know about me, you will learn things about me that will shock you but I want you to go into this relationship with an open mind, you are the first woman I have ever been with in a romantic way and I want to be open and honest with you, but let me make it clear to you that once you become officially mine, there's no way I'm letting you go... so prepare yourself Eleanor' he warns, his eyes growing dark and serious. 

I nod slowly, 'I know, you're definitely not an open book, but I think I am ready to be with you, maybe we should take our time to trust and understand each other' I tell him.

He nods as we begin eating our food, his hand reaches out to hold mine, making me look up at him again, 'Eleanor... will you be mine?' 

I blush, biting at my bottom lip, 'yes I will'
