Leah's POV
"Just five more minutes!" I shout at my alarm clock, but it doesn't give up. I roll out of bed and rub the sleep from my eyes before shutting up my screaming whore (my alarm clock). I head for the bathroom. I turn on the hot water and allow myself a hot shower before work. The hot water runs down every inch and crevices of my body and it feels amazing.
I get out of the shower, brush my teeth, and hair. I put on my clothes and shoes. Lastly I grab a fresh water bottle from my freezer, and leave me apartment before locking the door.
I head down to my car and straight for my office. When I get to work, everyone, and I literally mean everyone, stops and stares. I ignore the eyes on me and head straight for my office. When I get there, champagne bottles are covering my desk. I hurry and close the door. Who did this?! This is my work place.
I look for any sights or evidence, but find none. Suddenly my office door swings open. Liam enters and closes the door behind him. My face drops. "Did you do this?" I ask. He nods and smiles. "Why?" I ask. "Because you won't pay any attention to me. I know you like champagne." He responds. My heart skips a couple of beats before he smirks.
"I was hoping, maybe, we could go to dinner?" He asks. "So let me get this straight, you come to my work place, lay downs however many bottles of champagne this is and expect me to allow you to take me on a date?" I ask. His face drops. "Yeah I guess I did. I'll go now." He turns to leave.
I speak up. "After work. I will be at your door when I'm ready." He turns around and looks at me, I smile. His face brightens up and he nods before exiting. I smile even bigger than before and find myself rushing through the whole day. Tapping my feet on the floor, drumming on my desk and fidgeting.
When my time to get off work has finally come, I rush out of my office. I head straight For the shower and to get ready when I get home. When I get out I pull out black lacy panties and a matching bra to go along. I also decide to wear a skinny black dress and casual black heels. I straighten my hair and apply mascara and lipgloss. I grab my purse and lock my door on the way out. I knock on his door.
He opens the door and looks as handsome as ever. His hair is nicely slicked back and he has a business shirt and business pants on. "You look beautiful." He smiles at me. I nod. "You look very handsome. Unlike usual." I respond, his face drops. "I'm joking." I add he nods before exiting and grabbing my hand.
His car is nothing too much. It's a little red Toyota. It's a nice newer model.
He opens the door for me and allows me to enter before closing it. I pull my seatbelt on and he takes a seat.
"So where are we going?" I ask. He smiles. "It's a surprise." He tells me. I sigh. "But I hate surprises." I tell him. That earns me a sideways glance. I don't say anything else. Every so often I would look over at him and he would look at me and softly smile.
"Let the moonlight kiss your skin, when you dance like that, oh your killing me."
I happily hum along to the radio. He looks over at me. "You have a beautiful voice." He tells me. Me cheeks redden and he turns the music up and I give him an appreciative smile.
"And I cant pretend that that doesn't mean a thing to me to me."
I continue to sing.
When we get there he tells me to wait for him. I wait until he opens my door for me. He grabs my hand and pulls me out. The place is fancy and nice. I club and grill.
He takes me inside and asks the lady for a seat outside. He pulls my seat out for me and takes his seat. He smiles at me. The lady comes around to us. But she isn't worried about us, she's worried about Liam. She leans down, hoping he'll look at her breast as she takes out order, he doesn't even so much as look at her. She glances at me but doesn't even smile.
"What can I get you?" She asks him. He frowns. "You can get me a respectful waiter." He responds. She straightens up and smiles. She then looks at me. "Hello my names Adrianna, I'll be your waiter. What can I get you?" She asks nicely. I smile. "I would like a glass of champagne and steak with a side of salad." I respond. "How would you like your steak done?" I smile again. "well done please." She nods and then takes Liam's order.
He orders a lemonade, because he's driving and the same thing I did. We eat and talk. He is very funny.
When we finish eating he pays and takes us home. He walks me to my door and kisses my hand gently. I smile at him. "Thank you for an amazing night. Can I take you to work tomorrow? I'll even bring you home." He offers. I smile.
"Maybe. We will see." I respond before walking into my apartment door. I slide down to the floor and bite my bottom lip. It was so amazing to finally enjoy a conversation with him. He's a good person. He still isn't getting lucky any time soon, and he was aware of it.
I take myself to bed and throw my heels and dress of. I pull on a night gown and lay down. Sleep engulfs me and I fall asleep right away.
