"He hasn't asked you officially yet?" Tay asked Laura while slurping her homemade banana smoothie Emma prepared for her while they were chilling out at the pool getting some fresh air. Laura, Tay and Ash were in the water while Mia was on one of the pool beds.

It had been the most amazing three weeks of Laura's life. Armando made sure to spoil her and take her to different places for their dates. They had gone to the zoo, the city's aquarium, the library to check out books of course, they had even gone snorkeling. She really enjoyed his company but unfortunately for her, she was all over the internet. She had not said anything about it to her parents and neither did they say anything to her. Her mother only positively commented on her new outgoing nature and she just grunted in response. Seems like they were busy with their own lives. She was indeed grateful for such small Graces.

"No, not yet" Laura simply replied.

"Maybe he'll ask you tomorrow." Ashley butted in. Yes, she had another date tomorrow with Armando but this time at Suzy's. They'd had enough of the attention and wanted to go low again.

"Yeah. I think so too. But remember not to fall too hard. And girls don't get her hopes up too high, just in case." Mia said from behind the fashion magazine she was leafing through. Great way to enjoy the weekend.

The girls had come back from the pool and were just wrapping up lunch when the door bell rang.

"Ashley go get the door, you're done eating." Mia ordered from her seat.

Ashley made her way to the door mumbling something in the lines of bossy and annoying. She disappeared into the hallway and reappeared with a black box in her hands.

"The delivy guy said it's for Miss Laura Rocher." Ash said in a sing song voice making Laura perk up. She stood up and collected the box, dropped it on the kitchen counter, got a pair of scissors and opened it up.

"Wow!" Ashley practically shouted when Laura brought out the captivating green shiny dress out of the box. It was long and fitted with a slit stopping some inches above her mid thigh. It also had a slightly revealing cleavage and an almost transparent netty material at the back stopping just above her butt. It was really beautiful.

"Impressive I must say." Mia commented.

"It's gorgeous Laur." Tay practically gushed getting up to feel the gown on her fingers.

"There is a note!" Ashley announced proceeding to read it.

" 'Just like your eyes, this dress holds me captive. Wear it for me and set me on flames.' Uhuhuh steamy." Ashley said making the girls burst into a laughing frenzy.
Laura didn't need to be told who sent it after all he was the same man who held her captive.

"You can bring them tomorrow when you're done with them." Armando said to his secretary who was standing in front of him confused.

"Umm sir, do you mean the files?" Liz asked hesitantly.

"Isn't that what we were just talking about?" Armando replied shocking his secretary again. Her boss seemed to be in a good mood this week. He was cutting her a lot of slacks and reducing the deadline for submitting files from a week prior to a few days prior. He wasn't scolding her like a child again, shouting at minimal errors and he was now letting her go home earlier than usual. She loved whatever was changing him. More like whoever. It could be that girl in his recent photos. Well, thanks to her then.
