Tori held her phone to her ear, it's already rang six times. She hopes that he answers.

On the seventh ring he picks up.

"Hello, Miss. Tori." she could hear him smile.

"Hi James, I'm sorry but I can't make it today. An old friend came by and she wants to get lunch." She lied, biting her finger gently.

There was an odd silence on the other side of the phone.

"James?" She asked to make sure he was still there.

"Alright, but you owe me." He said in a joking manner, but seriousness was laced like a deadly poison in his voice.

Chills made their way down her spine before she answered.

"Okay." Tori whispered before she hung up.

********

James watched an older female version of his boss walk out of the large house, his eyes followed Tori as she talked with Mr.Johnson. He gripped the branch of the enormous tree he had been hiding behind, until his knuckles were white. He was angry at his Tori, he angry that she would flaunt herself around him. James watched his phone ring a few times before he decides to answer.

"Hello, Miss.Tori." He smirked devilishly as he watched her face turned red.

"Hi James, I'm sorry but I can't make it today. An old friend came by and she wants to get lunch."

Fury rose inside of James like a forest fire. How could she lie to him? Who the f*ck does she think she is? Soon he will teach her what respect is.

"James?" Her voice was so small.

"Alright, but you owe me." He tried his best to sound as if he was joking, but he wasn't. Nor does he find her lying to him funny either.

Only taking one last glance through his soon to be lover's window, he walks away through the bushes to his car.

*********

"So my son, are you going to tell me about your female friend here?" Mrs.Johnson's eyes lit up as they landed on Tori.

Carter grabbed Tori's hand gently.

"I'm going to marry her." He fakes a smile for his mother.

His mother's mouth drops, and for a second before she squeals loudly, causing everyone in the restaurant to look over at them.

"Mother calm down." He lowers his head and hisses at the woman.

Tori smacked his arm playfully with a smirk.

"She's excited that her son is getting married. That's every mother's dream." Tori took Mrs.Johnsons side.

"Exactly son, Victoria understands." Carter's mother smiled fondly at Tori. "When's the wedding?" She finally ask.

"We haven't decided yet, but soon." Carters take a drink of his tall glass of ice water.

"I hope it's a huge wedding." Mrs.Johnson smiled. "Tori is your mother as excited as I am?"

Tori took a a long drink of her Dr.Pepper, trying to think of something.

"We haven't told her mother yet, Tori wants it to be a surprise." Cater says.

Tori was actually glad Carter cut in, she doesn't have a reason why her mother doesn't know yet. Other than the fact she never told her.

"A surprise?" Mrs.Johnson cooed. Her eyes move to Tori's bare ring finger. "Where's the engagement ring?"

Carter felt the air in his lungs disappear. His grandfather had told his mother about the arranged marriage before, he hopes she doesn't catch on. She's always wanted him to fall in love, and then get married.

Tori laid her small hand on his, and caressed the top of his hand gently.

"It was in the heat of the moment." Tori giggles trying to sound honest. "It was romantic, we were standing in the rain when he asked me."

Mrs.Johnson's face flushed red with excitement.

"Besides, I don't need a ring to marry him." Tori looked at Carter while he removed his hand from under hers.

"Well, it's almost time for me to head back to my office. Lunch is about over, Tori there's a dinner party this weekend at My husband and I's home. We'd love it if you two would come."

"Mother I'm n-"

Tori stands up from her seat as Mrs.Johnson stands from hers.

"We'll be there." Tori cuts her future husband off.

They say their goodbyes before Tori sits back down in her seat. Her eyes scan the restaurant as she feels someone's eyes burn into her. Carter is busy looking through some paperwork, so it can't be him. She nearly gave up until she spotted familiar blonde hair sitting behind her.

Carters phone dinged and his mother's name appeared on the screen.

*there is a weird blonde that was watching us from behind you and tori.*

All the color drained from Carters face as he watches Tori get up.

"Where are you going?" He hissed through his teeth, trying to stay quiet.

"I think I see James." She squints her eyes in the pervs direction. "I'm gonna see if it's him."

Carter went to grab her arm but she took off to quickly.

"James is that you?" She stands in front of the blondes table.

"Tori?" He drops the menu and smiled warmly. "I didn't know you'd be here."

She smiles widely at him.

"Yeah I'm just having lunch with..." she trailed off looking for the right words to use.

"With our boss?"  He rose an eyebrow and flashed a friendly smile.

James felt like his face would fall off if he kept fake smiling like he is now. He's never been so angry before, no where near this bad. He wanted to take Carter's head and slam it against the table in front of him.

"Yeah, we're discussing uniforms for the girls at the club. There's apparently a creep running around peeping through windows, and Mr.Johnson doesn't want something to happen to his female employees." Tori admitted.

She had no idea that the creep was James, and she also had no idea Carter was only worried about her.

James narrowed his eyes.

"A creep huh?" He asked taking a drink of his glass of wine.

He's not a creep, he also had no idea that Carter saw him. James's mind started to fill itself with wary thoughts.

What if Carter did see him that night? What if Carter knows that James is the 'perv' Carter warned Tori about? Does Tori know what he did?

"Yeah, but I think he's just paranoid. I haven't seen anything suspicious." She took a seat at James's table.

"Who was the woman with him?" He asked staring hard at the small red head sitting across from him. 

Tori's eyes went wide.

"She's a friend of Mr.Johnsons." She lied. "Well I better get back to the table and finish discussing uniforms. See you later." She smiled at the man and gave him a small wave before heading back to her table.

By the time Tori had reached her table, Carter was already done with his water.

"Are you ready?" He asks as she takes one last drink.

With no response for Carter, she continues to slurp her empty soda cup. Carter sits and looks out in the distance, trying to stay calm about the disgusting noise she's making.

"I think that's good." He snaps taking the empty cup from her.

"Sorry, I'm just really nervous." She says standing up with the tall man. "James is over there, and he was questioning why I was with you."

"James is over there?" His eyes narrowed at the small beautiful woman in front of him.

Tori nodded her head slowly.

"Stay here." He ordered. "I mean it Victoria stay right f*cking there."

When she agreed to stay where she was Carter took off to James's table.

"You nasty little piece of shit." Carter growled as he stood in front of James. "What the hell is wrong with you?"

James jumped back in his chair as the much taller man approached him.

"What are you talking about?" James holds his ground.

"You peep through her fucking window, and then you get off on it?" Carter tried to hold down his anger as hard as he could. "Then you show up here?"

James smirked slyly at the assumptions his boss is making.

"Why Mr.Johnson Tori is a single woman, if someone wants to get off on." James eyes fly past Carter and land on the beautiful creature. "Such a magnificent beauty, then what's the problem?"

Carter grabbed the collar of James shirt and pulled him close.

"You go near my fiancé one more time, I will kill you," Carter growled in his employee's ear. He pushed the scum bag back in his chair before walking away to his future wife.

"Fiancé huh?" James whispered to himself, while watching his Tori walk away. Miss. Walters never said she was engaged to the CEO and club owner.

*********

"I have some business I need to attend to. I'll be at the club later, why don't you go open up." Carter handed Tori the clubs keys before planting a small kiss on her forehead and whispering. "There's someone with a camera across the street, act as if you love me."

Tori wraps her small fingers around his large hand, and gently pulls the keys away. She lays her free hand softly on his face, and plants a kiss on his flushed cheeks.

"I'll see you later." He whispers before walking off towards his car.

Once Carter reaches his door, Ed pulls up in front of Tori.

"Hello Miss. Walters, I'll be driving you today."The old man give her a warm smile, as he gets out of the matte black car and opens the back door for her.

**********

Carter stepped through the large doors that lead into his company building, the cold breeze from the fans under the floors and above his head, send a shiver down his spine.

"Mr. Johnson." The beautiful blonde from the meets a few days ago swayed her hips as she walked towards the CEO.

"Not now Mary." He hissed as his hand runs through his perfectly slicked back,dark chestnut hair.

"Sir, this is really important. Should I just wait up in your office?" She twirls her blonde locks between her fingers.

Carter didn't response, and instead headed his way to the conference room.

"Ah, I'm glad to see everyone is here on time."

"Actually Sir, you're kind of late." Sam mumbled quietly.

Carter glared at the nerdy, lanky kid. He thought for a second that maybe he should fire the little fucker, but then that would go against everything he is. Carter hates liars, cheaters. Pervs. Carter gripped the pen in his hand as he took at seat. His thoughts went to Tori working at the bar with that creep tonight.

Tori. Working at the bar, with the creep. Sh*t, how could that blow completely over his head. He felt the color drain from his face. Carter knows that dick fuck isn't going to listen and stay away from her.

"Meet adjourned." Carter says without thinking and stands from his seat. His eyes scan around the room for someone to take over, and the only person who knows what this meeting is about is Sam.

"Sam is taking over, everyone needs to listen to him. If he has any complaints about any of you. You're fired. Mary go get this boy some coffee and donuts." Carter says as he stands behind his chair. "Sam take a seat, if you do good conducting this meeting you'll have a job here." He says as he begins to walk out the door.

"Sir, I've been here for three years, I know more about this meeting than he does." Mary growled pointing to the nerdy lanky kid.

"Mary I do believe I am the boss. Sam tell Mary to get you some coffee and donuts or whatever you want. If she doesn't listen she's fired. I don't have time to fuck around with you all right now." Carters snaps.

Sam let's the smirk he's been fighting play along his lips.

"Hey Mary, go get me some monster and sour patch kids." Sam ordered.

Carter gave the kid a weird look. That's an odd combination.

"Alright then, I'll gonna now." He says as he finally walks out the door.

********

Carter pulls into his parking lot, and skims over the few cars until he noticed James's. A deep growl erupted from Carter's lips as he got out and slammed his car door shut.

"Carter?" Tori beamed as the CEO stomped through the door. "What are you doing here so early?"

Carter scratched the back of his neck. James is no where to be seen.

"I... My meeting..." he stutters looking for the right words. He could tell her the truth and tell Victoria that he came here to keep the perv away from her. He shook the thought out of his head. "I let my intern take over, if he does good he gets the job."

Tori smiled. "You mean Sam?" She asked wiping glasses out with a clean towel.

"How do you know Sam?" He raised a brow.

"I had a few drinks with him one night at the small pub a couple blocks down," She stated.

Right as Carter went to say something, James walked out of the bathroom.
