Y/N's POV

After the embarrassing encounter with Jungkook earlier that morning the rest of my day was pretty boring, I managed to finally finish the paperwork which had been gradually piling up on my desk during the week Jin and Jungkook had been absent. Then later took a trip to the cafeteria to grab a fresh coffee and apple before settling behind my desk again, two more hours before I would be home and relaxing with a glass of my favourite red wine.

"An apple? Really?"

My head snapped up and I almost choked on the partially chewed lump of it in my mouth, Jungkook was standing there looking like a sex God. Fuck, what the hell was this guy drinking to make him look like that? He was leaning against the door to his office, hair slightly dishevelled and white dress shirt unbuttoned at the cuffs so he could roll the sleeves up to his elbows.

"Close your mouth Y/N, something might accidentally slip inside it."

His eyes grew dark, I blushed and turned my head away.

"I erm, the paperwork is finished for the board meeting tomorrow. I also sent the memo your brother asked me to send...."

"Y/N, I honestly don't care. I'm hungry and also bored, you're coming to have lunch with me."

I arched a brow in surprise

"Excuse me? What? Why?"

"Because I despise eating alone, hurry up. I don't have time to waste...."

I hesitated, it was during office hours so technically I couldn't refuse. Jungkook was my boss, he was requesting me to eat lunch with him. I sighed and grabbed my purse before following him out to his car.

Jungkook hadn't said much in the car, he turned the radio on just enough to hear the music and made general conversation about how I was finding the job since his father had stepped down. I was polite, expressed my sadness in not getting to work with his father anymore but also admitting my excitement for this new era within the company, on occasion he made me feel uncomfortable with those devilish smirks of his but I tried my best to ignore them.

It was about fifteen minutes later when we arrived outside a fancy restaurant, Jungkook handed his keys to the valet and after opening my door for me he placed his left hand on my lower back and escorted us inside. I was trying not to blush like an idiot from this unexpected contact with my ridiculously good looking boss, keeping my head low to avoid his gaze.

I finally looked up as the host approached Jungkook, it was obvious this host knew exactly who Jungkook was as he immediately escorted the two of us to a table near the back.

I won't lie, this place was daunting. It wasn't the kind of place you get a table on impulse.

I looked around in awe, my eyes drinking everything in.

There were large mullioned windows with long embroidered curtains, dark walnut tables, delicate live piano music, flagstone tile floor, lounge area with embroidered couches, oval coffee tables with splendidly proportioned cabriole legs, tea served from silver trays in white teapots.

There was an old couple eating side by side, one glass of wine each, studiously bent over their meals. A group of young women in their thirties collapsing with helpless giggles as a stern woman dining alone nearby looked on and frowned. Businessmen in their grey suits discussing stocks and shares from what I could hear. Rich tourists, trying to decipher the menu. A family and their teenage children. The noise level was high.

Yep.....this place was somewhere a person like me just didn't belong.

I snapped back to reality when Jungkook sat opposite me and cleared his throat

"You okay Y/N? You seem nervous...."

I nodded, forcing a smile as he handed me a menu.

"Thanks."

I let out a nervous cough before taking the menu, my eyes widening when reading the list.

It's all in Italian, well fuck.

I thought to myself, scanning the menu quickly in hopes of finding something vaguely familiar. I suddenly heard Jungkook chuckle and snapped my head up shooting him an angry glare, I didn't intend on giving him such a nasty look but also didn't appreciate him mocking me.

"Excuse me for not knowing Italian."

I spat, sarcasm laced my words and this only amused Jungkook more.

"Tsk Tsk Y/N, talking back to your boss. La ragazza disubbidiente....."

My eyes widened, did he just speak Italian. I had no clue what he just said but my ovaries then and there just imploded. Fuck me, that was hot. I pretended not to care, just looked at the menu

"Can you recommend something to me, help me out here."

He leaned back in his chair, thoroughly amused by the situation

"Quel vestito ti fa sembrare abbastanza buona da mangiare."

I cocked my brow, trying hard not to show how much him speaking Italian was turning me on.

"Excuse me? What?"

"I said try this...."

He pointed to a dish on the menu called Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, I furrowed my brow.

"What is it?" I questioned.

"It's basically mac and cheese. I figured you to be the type of girl who eats that at home, as you drink a bottle of wine and watch a sappy romance."

My mouth dropped open, I would never admit that he was correct with that assumption.

Jungkook laughed and leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table and gazing deeply into my eyes.

"Tell me about yourself Y/N."

"Erm....okay. What do you want to know?"

I moved back slightly, he was too close.

"Start with hobbies, family....things of that nature."

I relaxed a little, taking a deep breath before starting to speak. I told him about my hobbies first, how I love photography and classical music. I didn't say much about my family, just told him that both my parents were busy people as they each ran a veterinary practice back in Y/C. I also told him about my adoptive brother who was currently living in Australia, he seemed surprised to hear this and asked me a little about my relationship with him. I told him that the two of us were close, that we didn't get much time to speak lately due to the time difference but in a few months he would be heading back home and hopefully stopping to spend some time with me. I told him about why I wanted to move to Seoul, that leaving my country was difficult but I didn't regret the decision. He told me he was impressed with how quickly I'd picked up the language, settled into the lifestyle and culture here.

It went so quickly, I didn't even notice the time. I finished my meal, was halfway through a bottle of red wine and Jungkook had convinced me to order dessert. The atmosphere which was awkward and strained between us at first was now actually really surprisingly pleasant, he did on occasion send me that same devilish smirk but I told myself to ignore it.

"I've been talking about myself so much, I don't know anything about you."

I finished the last mouthful of zabaione before tracing an index finger around the rim of my wine glass as I spoke, Jungkook wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin after finishing his chocolate cannoli.

"What would you like to know?"

He leaned closer, his tongue glided over his bottom lip and for a moment my eyes seemed to betray me as they noticed how full and wet they were.

"Le mie labbra ti interessano?"

I watched his lips move, forming the words as he spoke Italian. I came crashing back to reality and scolded myself internally for getting distracted by him, he was enjoying this far too much.

"Jungkook it's getting late, maybe you should take me home."

It's better we end this here before we both get carried away.

He seemed disappointed but gave a nod, paying the bill before escorting me back to his car.

The car ride back was silent, no radio or words were spoken. It wasn't exactly an awkward silence just two people with nothing at this precise moment to talk about, I was still angry with myself for staring at him like a creep.

"This is my place, thanks for the dinner and for taking me home." I smiled as we pulled up outside my apartment building, Jungkook gave a nod and watched me exit the car.

"See you tomorrow Y/N, buona notte bellissima."

I cocked a brow and chuckled, having no idea what he just said.

"Yeah sure, night."

I shook my head and walked inside.

Jungkook's POV

"Arrrrrrgh, fuck me." I groaned, head falling back on the seat.

That was literally the most difficult experience of my life, the entire night I just wanted to dominate her. The way her lips moved, how her hair would fall across her big sexy eyes. Not to mention how her shirt would fall down to the left slightly to expose her glorious neck and perfect shoulder, this woman was going to be the death of me.

I of course played the part of a perfect gentleman, yet when she was talking about her hobbies and family only half of me was listening....the other half imagining what it would be like to have her bent over my lap.

I grabbed my phone, sending a text to Jin

JK - Yah hyung, step up your game. I'll win at this rate, already got her on a first date.

Seconds later he replied

Jin - Jungkook did she even know it was a date? Also.....don't get so cocky. You seem to forget who taught you everything you know, I'm confident in my abilities.

I chuckled and bit my lip, taking one last look at her apartment before driving home.
