I'm at my door when I notice that the lights are on inside my apartment when I certainly didn't leave them on.. I grab my field hockey stick and walk in to the living room to find a woman at my table eating chips.
"Surprise!" I breath a sigh of relief and lower my stick.
"What were you planning on doing to me with your stick, Kat?"
"Oh nothing other that giving you a concussion. Yeah that would be on my conscience."
"So just what are you doing in my apartment and how exactly did you get in here?"
"I came to celebrate you getting the CEO of FROST Global to fire Blackwell."
"Geez that guy works fast, wait a minute you still haven't answered my second question."
"Yeah I came in through the window."
"Girl we're on the second story. If you are gonna come up with something like that then make it a little bit believable. I sigh as my palm hits my forehead.
"Yeah I did! I’m not a national athlete for nothing."
"So in other words you were looking for somewhere to hang and chose my place since I wasn't home to argue." I sum it up in one sentence.
"Exactly."
"This is why you are my best friend. You know when I need a running partner." I tease. We head out to run.
As we sprinted back, I noticed a black limousine outside my apartment building. I slowed until Mari caught up and noticed the limo.
"I… wonder… who… that… is?" She panted.
"Out of breath, huh, you've been slacking off without me on your back."
"I have been running just not quite as far. She quips back as we walk up to the my building."
"So who do you think that is?"
"I have no idea. But let's find out." I walk up and knock on the window of the limo. The door opens and Mr. Neige gets out.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to thank you for informing me of Mr. Blackwell’s actions. Apparently harassing your team wasn't the only thing he had been doing and thanks to your report we uncovered his lies and saved the company from much trouble."
"I'm glad that guy is busted but that wasn't what I meant. I want to know why you are here at my apartment and how you found out where I live? I keep a very low profile."
"I just asked you coach. And I wanted to extend my thanks in person, and ask if would you come to dinner with me as my thanks."
"Excuse us for a second." Mari says over my shoulder.
"Who is the super hot rich guy who is inviting you to dinner?"
"That is the CEO of FROST global. And he wants to thank me for tipping him of about Blackwell."
"Oh. Well he is super hot so say yes!" I turn and look at him and for the first time actually see him as a person. He is handsome. He is tall and holds himself with an air of confidence belonging to a man who can do as he wants. He has windswept dark brown hair which is odd because he probably doesn't get out much and deep honey gold eyes. I turn back to Mari.
"I don't even know his first name, Mari how can I go to dinner with him?"
"Because it is a thank you dinner so try and make the best of the opportunity." She whispers in my ear as she pushes me back over to him.
"Good Luck."
"Well?" He says, do you accept my invitation?
"Yeah sure. I don't see a reason not to."
"I will send a driver to pick you up Saturday night at 6 then."
"Sure." He gets back in the limo.
"And thank you again for the tip."
"I was just trying to protect my teammate but stopping an a-hole comes with the territory apparently. See you Saturday."
"I will see you then." I look at him and suddenly we both just staring at each other and I think I blush as I back up from the limo.
