you and me

he loves brownies<3

"so then he got me a new dress" I finish

I am in the office rn it's lunch break and suzane and liam have been hearing all about my date with my boss and their mouth is half open.

"Tell me you kissed him" suzane says

"NOOO!" I say

"What no? You guys could have kissed in the rain. He has gorgeous lips, you have gorgeous hips. Kiss and do the rest" she says

" Why are we frnds again" I say

"Coz I'm helping you to follow your heart. Don't tell me you didn't  think of being in his arms" she says

"It doesn't matter. He was just being kind. " I say

    "HELLO LADIES. AND ONE GENTLEMAN! I HAVE NEWS" iris says.

She's my new friend here and she's definitely a baddie coz her ex cheated on her a month ago. She's been crazy but I like her.

"Hi iris" I say

"Hi baby" she says

"What's the news?" Liam says

"Ofcourse Amber knows but okay so, it's my birthday in 3 days. I'm throwing a big ass party. You all are invited. I'm inviting the whole office but you guys are close so I came by myself to say it. " She says

"I'm coming " I say

"See you guys on Sunday" iris says.

"I'm your best friend Amber." Suzane says

"I know. She's just frnd okay? I love you!" I say with a smile.

"Yes that's good." She says.

        THREE DAYS LATER

I put down a shimmery top and a short skirt . Keep my long hair down in waves. Do my makeup. And get down for the party. I, liam and suzane are going together in his car.

When we arrive. The party has just started. I go and wish iris.

"Happy birthday iris. "

"Thank you. Thank you guys for coming. " She says.

There's very little light in here barely to recognise each other. The music is loud and we keep on dancing for half an hour.

" Heyy let's cut the cake" someone says.

"Yes . Bring the cake" iris says.

When a man. I think people who work here. Bring the giant 5 tier cake. And we all clap together as she cuts it.
When I take a bite, she rubs cake on my face.

"Hahaaa yesss. " Iris says

I took a good amount of cream and rub it in her face.

We both look at each other and burst out laughing.

"I'll go clean in up" iris says.

"I'll go find another restroom" I say

I walk down the hall in the dark . I can barely figure out which door is it.

I open a random and oh no.

I can't believe what I'm-no this is not real. I must be hallucinating. Or am I really dreaming Jeremy volkov in nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. With wet hair and fresh scent all around him. OH GOD.

"what are you doing"
"What are you doing"

We both say at the same time but he answers first.

"This is my house miss Amber. I didn't knew you were so excited to see me half naked that you would come to my house" he says

"But this is? Iris's home. It's her bday party. I don't understand" I say

" I suppose your friend didn't tell you she has a brother" he says

"Oh no. I'm so sorry. I thought it's a restroom."

Then I realise I have cream all over my face. Oh god. I went on a date with him and then this. It's soo embarassing.

"I really have to replace my door if you think it was of a restroom but uh- I- you can clean up here love" he says

"Thank you" I say

I clean my face. And get out and he's all dressed up by then.

"Why are you not attending the party if she's your sister"?

"I don't like parties"

"You can still go for cake"

"I don't like cakes"

I take two steps close but he doesn't move.

"What do you like then? Mr volkov."

"I'm not into sweet but I certainly love brownies"

"Uh huh- I love blueberry cheesecake" I say

"I will keep that in mind love"

I don't know why he keeps calling me love but I don't ask.

"Why would you shower this late?"

"I was stressing. "

"About?"

"Work"

"Wanna talk about it?"

"You have a birthday celebration to attend beautiful "

"You think I'm beautiful "

"No"

"Oh"

"I think, you're pretty my love. You're very innocently pretty. Everything about you is perfect. Beautiful won't justify how gorgeous you're Amber. You have the most admirable face I have ever seen and I mean it" he says

I'm stunned. No guy has ever said something like that to me. And I don't know why he will of all people.

"I thought I'm not your type."

"What's my type miss Amber?"

"I thought you liked more confident and I don't know sexy ladies?"

"You're more than confident otherwise you wouldn't ask that question "

He smiles. He generally smiles at me and I notice he has a really pretty face.

"I uh- I should go"

"I would love to chat but if that's what you want sweetheart "

I want to go. I want to move. But I look at him. His eye's. Wanting me to stay. Maybe do more than stay. Maybe grab his face and kiss him just like suzane said but instead I give him a smile and I go join the party.
