Chapter Three

He looked up from his phone and caught me staring at him, I immediately averted my gaze to the glass behind him. 

"You like what you see?" He asked, smirking. 

The smirk for some reason annoyed me, And I wished I could wish it off his face. 

"Yeah, The glass behind you steals all the spotlight, I indeed like what I see" I replied sarcastically

I remembered the scene with his girlfriend and it still nagged at me and I wanted to ask him about it, but I disregarded the thought immediately after it occur to me 

"Would you like me to get you a table and chair installed here or would you rather be a couch potato?" 

"I'll take the couch Anytime, any day. It's so comfortable. How much did you get? You know what, Don't Tell me, I don't want to feel guilty for sitting on it" 

He chuckled charmingly as I shrugged. 

The doors beeped again and a man, Presumably an employee, came in with files and smiled up at me before moving forward to Lucio

"Hey there Lucio" He waved enthusiastically to Lucio "I need your signature for all these actions about to be carried out here" 

He seemed preppy and one could easily describe him as a fluffy ball of sunshine. His fluffy haircut made him look very cute and I doubted if he was an attorney. 

"You could have sent one of the Junior Attorneys, Why'd you have to bring it yourself?" He asked the look of sheer annoyance returning to his face, But unlike the one he gave Valerie, This one seemed free of tension and dislike, It seemed almost playful. 

"Well, I brought them over because I wanted to see you, but mostly because I wanted to see your girlfriend, I heard the Non-Legal staff gossip about how you brought your girlfriend to work, They said you were the Tsundere type of guy and I just wanted to check things out for myself," He said grinning at Lucio 

"David, Lisa's not my girlfriend" 

David stared straight into my eyes, that enormous smile not wavering. There was something in the disk of his smile - a kind of mischievous exuberance, more honest and more honest and more exciting than happiness- that pierced me to the heart. It was the work of a second, the eye contact between us. It was just long enough for me to decide to trust him- the fluffy man with a big smile.

I smiled back at him, happy that I might have made a new friend from the law firm. 

"I'm his friend, We'll be doing business together for a while, So, You'll see me here very often" I replied, maintaining the smile on my face. 

"Pleased to meet you, Lisa, I'm David and I'm Lucio's Best friend" He introduced himself in his Italian-accented English as we shook hands. 

"For the hundredth time, We're not friends David," Lucio said in an attempt to offend his "best friend" 

"Yeah, Keep telling lies to yourself, If they make you feel better" He smirked and moved towards Lucio's table to drop the files. 

"I'll see you later," He said to the Executive Director "Lisa, Let's grab lunch together if you're free" 

He left the room and it was once again Lucio and I left together. 

"Don't let him fool you, He's gay" He commented for no good reason "He's into guys" 

"Well, I didn't say I was getting ideas, He just seems cool" I replied

"We're going out for lunch together, So you'll have to reschedule with him" The pretended annoyance on his face before has faded to a frown. 

His phone rang out and I immediately stood up, I had heard the ringtone and recognized it from somewhere. All my instincts revolved around the idea of recalling the song. 

After his phone call, I moved toward him and he freaked out "What do you want?" 

"You're jumping like I'm a scary monster, What's your deal? I just wanted to ask about your ringtone. What song is that? " I asked him. 

"It's Drink before the war" He answered

At that moment, I realized how close our faces were. One more move and our lips would touch. He stood up from his seat and walked towards the door. I thought he was leaving but just then, I heard him walk up behind me. I begin to turn around and I see his face.

He said, “Don't turn, this is about you.”

My heart began to pound. I stood there, feeling a desire run from my heart, to my chest, and down toward my inner thighs.

His finger touched my neck, and the hair as it was moved away nearly gave me the chills. His hands went from the sides of my head and down to my neck, out to my shoulders, and down to my hands.

He grabbed my hands gently yet firmly, put them in front of me, and paused. I felt safe, he spoke no words. My heart was about to beat out of my chest and I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

He kissed my shoulder, and ran his lips on my skin towards my ear, but didn't quite make it that far. I tilted my head and after his deep breath out he bit me gently. It didn't hurt, it only made me want more.

He turned me around, and we were facing each other. He stared into my eyes and smiled. His two hands grabbed my left hand and he placed my open palm on his heart, and he held it there. His eyes exuded protection, security, safety, patience, and respect.

I smiled and he let go of my hands, with one hand he ran his fingers through my hair and gently guided my face closer to his, eventually leaning me in to rest my head on his chest. His other arm wraps around me, I hoped he never let go.

While at that moment against his chest, I could only think about what I could do to make his heart pound. 

"Don't talk about this to anybody" He whispered to me.
