Actress and The C.E.O (Part 1)

"What do you want me to do? Leave my work? You know how crazy it went when I took your advice and left my nanotooth for an hour," Roman pointed out as his car appeared from the underground parking.

"Woah!" Ekaashi exclaimed as Roman's sleek midnight blue Aston Martin Vanquish 3.0 Reloaded showed up.

"Come on. I'm not wasting any time. We'll talk on the way," Roman said opening the front door for Ekaashi as Conan sat on the back seat.

"Shouldn't I be the one in the back?" Ekaashi enquired as Roman sped off to his destination.

"Nah. Conan needs his space when he's nervous," Roman told her.

"Hey! I'm not nervous," Conan said as he started fidgeting with his jeans.

"You see, he has ripped t-shirts and shirts doing that to them. Hopefully, his jeans will survive. This is why I didn't give him the chance to wear one," Roman explained.

"I hate that you know me so well," Conan mumbled swaying his body to and fro.

"Stop it. It's going to be fine," Roman assured him.

"So who is this lucky person? I have never seen a guy so nervous in asking someone out," Ekaashi asked. "Conan?" She turned to look at the nervous, shirtless guy. Poor him, he was sweating when the car was cooler than Spain in winter.

"Jennica Ruiz," Conan started.

"She's a mutual friend from what I can gather," Ekaashi pointed out.

"Yeah. She was Roman's classmate in college. I met her on his birthday five years back. We have never stopped talking since" Conan smiled.

"When did you start liking her?" She asked.

"From the very start, I think. But it wasn't until I came back from Italy during summer," he started. "Nica, like me, lives in Madrid only. Roman was in the UK, so Nica and I planned a reunion at the beach. You see when I came back from Italy we had already known each other for 2 years. I had met her once during that time and hardly saw her on video. She was a bit chubby and cute when I met her. She used to wear her hair in a bun with trendy pair specs on her nose, and she was paler than Roman or I. I found her attractive, I can't deny that. She was chubby, not even close to unattractive, and very interesting. I always had the urge to talk to her, make her laugh, meet her. It wasn't easy when she was in the States, and I was traveling and studying in Europe," Conan smiled fondly.

"Imagine my shock that after 2 years I don't see a cute and chubby girl. Instead, I see toned legs, sexy abs and a heartbreaking collarbone on a perfectly tanned girl. She was wearing a dark green bikini that matched her eyes. I couldn't recognize her. There was no bun on her head. Just a pair of shades while her chestnut colored hair cascaded down to her mid-shoulder. At first, I thought the girl was hot. Then when she came near me and said hi, I realized that it was Nica, the same Nica I met two years ago," Conan sighed.

"It wasn't the fact that she suddenly became hot. It was the fact that I couldn't keep my eyes off her. She was laughing at my silly jokes. She was interested in all my stories from the kitchen and outside. She cursed every girl that broke my heart while consoling me that I would get a nice girl soon. She pulled me in the sea with her. There was a moment when we were a bit deep in the sea, and the waves were so high that she stumbled and fell on me as we fell into the sea together. I held her and brought us both up, I thought she was joking. When I realized she wasn't and swallowed a lot of water, I panicked. I immediately took her on the shore and pumped her for any water. When she coughed out water, I thought my life was again in my body. That is the day till today I cannot avoid the giddy feeling when she is around," Conan paused with a huge grin.
