As we drive away my heart is pounding as I think of how our eyes met. I don't get it I just asked her to a thank you dinner not anything big, so why am I so nervous to see her again?
"Mr. Neige!"
"Yes!"
"Would you like to go to the hotel or the company building?"
"Bring me to the company building."
"Yes sir." The rest of the ride is quiet while my head is filled with thoughts of seeing her Saturday night. When we arrive in front of the building I get out and go in. I go to the manager's office that had previously belonged to Mr. Blackwell before I found out of his misdeeds. I am grateful to her for informing me of his illegal actions but I can't figure out why I can't think of anything else.
"Ayyy Liam what's up you look sad?" I don't even need to look up to know who that is. There is only one person calls me by my first name. My best friend Marq stands in the door to my temporary office.
"So what's with the long face? I would ask if you got rejected but you have never taken an interest in a girl long enough to even ask her to dinner?"
"What makes you think I'm sad." I ask him in an attempt to keep from him the fact that I will be going out to dinner with a woman. Not in a romantic way though which he wouldn't believe. He glances at my face.
"You're blushing." He says. I blink, am I really blushing? Marq is like a bloodhound on the scent of my embarrassment.
"What do you have to blush about?" He slowly starts to put the pieces together. He gives me a devilish grin. I will never understand how he is the son of one of the richest and well-mannered men in Europe.
"Who's the lucky girl?" I sigh.
"She helped me catch a thief who was stealing money from the company so I am taking her to dinner on Saturday."
"That is not what I was asking. What's her name?"
"Katana Wolff. She is the star midfielder of the German Girls Field Hockey team."
"Hahahaha damn man you got yourself a feisty girl. I heard the last guy who tried to hit on her got a concussion. She clubbed him in the head with her stick. She has also beat up multiple guys who have harassed her teammates. Ha you really picked a tough woman."
"Well I don't have any reason to know that because as I've already told you this is a thank you dinner not a date."
"Then why were you blushing when I mentioned your nonexistent love life."
"I was not blushing."
"Yes you were."
"I was not."
"Fine. Just don’t try and make a move on her I don’t want to get in trouble with my girlfriend."
"Oh which number girlfriend would that be?" Marq scowls at me.
"Number 7 but she is here to to stay."
"Wait how does your girlfriend know Ms. Wolff?"
"My girlfriend is Mari Seitz. She is Kat’s best friend."
"Kat?"
"Katana. Mari gave her the nickname Kat because Mari hates long hard to pronounce names."
"Though you should probably stick to calling her Ms. Wolff or Ms. Katana."
"So you've met her."
"Yeah Mari practically lives at her place." Marq gives me another devilish grin. "I should have Mari properly introduce you. I still keep my distance from her cause the only reason that I'm not missing a limb or any brain cells is cause Mari has been vouching for me constantly."
"You didn't have any brain cells to begin with."
"Haha."
"So why didn't they have you talk to me about Blackwell."
"No reason. Just Kat likes to do things herself and she doesn't trust me."
"Really I wonder why." I ask my voice dripping with sarcasm.
"I know right?" He sits on the edge of the desk. I wonder to myself of if I should ask him why he thinks I can't stop thinking about her. But I decide against it because he'll probably tell me that I have feelings for her. Wait! Do I have feelings for her could that be why I can't stop seeing her every time I close my eyes.
