I wanna take you out

*Play: Wine Pon You By Doja Cat, Konshens*

I'm so tired. Today was such a busy day, every since Skyler visited yesterday, my store has been doing better.
Maybe she did something but I've made so much money, I'm so glad I met her. I've sent her a message about the information If she actually wanted to work for free. She told me she'll start Monday morning with me.

She's such a wonderful person, I look at the time and realize that it's only 4 pm and I've 10 customers come in.
5 more hours before closing time.!

I slump into my chair and I lay my head on the table hoping I could get a little bit of a break before the next customer walks in.

My eyes start to slowing close. As I was about to fall asleep the door opens.
"Oh come on!" I say a little bit too loud. It was supposed to be a whisper.

"Welcome to Vintage Blooms, how may I he-" I look up and that's when my heart stops.

I must be hallucinating, is that the guy that saved me?
Ryker.
How did he find me, how is he here, why is he here, is he gonna hurt me, what happened to the creepy guy from that night..???

All these questions that I tried to forget spiralled in my head. It's kinda hard to forget someone as handsome as he is.

He is leaning on the Enter door with his hands crosed in front of him. He is wearing a black dress shirt for men and it perfectly hugs his upper body. The shirt is also unbuttoned at the top causing me to see his chain. He is also wearing black pants.

He really does like black.

"Nora." He says in a low deep tone that send shivers down my body. Gosh I can't handle this.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him a little scared.
"You asked us to come visit your store" He looks at me like I'm stupid.
"I never told u the name of it." I argue back

"Yes, you did"
"No, I didn't."
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
"No"
"I could call the others to ask them which one is right." He says while pulling out his phone from his pocket.
"What? No!" I say but he ignores me.

I quickly run towards him but I stumble on my desk and I almost fell.
I try to snatch his phone from his hand, but he's way taller then me. I failed but I still try again.

The phone starts ringing and he raises his hand so that I can't even reach it.
I try jumping to get the phone but I keep on failing. I put my hand on his chest and try to use him to make me jump higher.

Instead he grabs my wrist and turns me around so that my back is hitting the wall. He ends the call and puts his hands on the wall next to me. Now I'm trapped.

I try to duck down to go under his arm but he pushes his body in front and traps me.
He looks down at me with a smirk on his face.

I can't handle this at all. His body is so close to mine. My heart is pounding so hard right now. I've never felt like this. My knees are week and all I wanna do is kiss him. I want to hold him but I'm too afraid.

He lowers his head and goes next to my ear.
"Let's go out." I could feel his hot breath on my ear and neck.

"Excuse me?" I can't even focus right now.
"I wanna take you out. It's my treat." He mumbles next to my ear.

"I have to wo-"
"Ill give you 500$ if you go out with me." He cuts me off
"I can't that's too much" I say weakly
"Then I guess we'll have to stay like this for the whole day." His hand puts a strand of my hair behind my ear.

He got me.

"Fine."
He back away and gives me space to finally breath.
He puts his hand in his pocket and pulls out 500$. He goes over my desk and opens the register. He puts it in it.

I thought he was joking.
"Get your stuff and close the store. Ill be waiting outside." He says before I could argue back he exits my store.

I do as he asks ans a couple of minutes I'm outside with him.
"Where are we going?" I ask him but he doesn't answer me. Instead he holds my hand and starts walking down the street until we arrive to his car. It's a beautiful black Porsche.
I try to wiggle my hand out of his but he just holds it even tighter. He might break my fingers.

"Don't." He warns and I stop trying to remove my hand.
I hold his hand back, a small blush creeps it's way on my face.
Friends hold you hand, it's nothing. Right?

A couple of minutes later we finally arrive to the place he wanted to bring me.
On the way here I tried to talk to him but he kept saying shut up.
Rude.

This building looks so expensive.
"Where are we?" I ask
"At my mall." He replies naturally.
"What?" I say shocked and looked at him.

"You're joking right?"
"No. You can get whatever you want." He looks at me  with the smallest smirk.
We enter the place and damn it really looks expensive.

He keeps his hand in mine.
"Why did you actually bring me here?" I say look up at him.
"Can't I buy stuff for my sweet girl?" He puts his hand on my face and runs his thumb across my lips.
The look in his eyes are so dark even though his eyes are icy blue.

This is gonna be a long day.
