Antonio and I were walking on the pier after we had dinner. We got to know each other a bit and he seems interesting. 

"It's such a beautiful night." I say once we stop at the end of it as I look up at the starry night.

"Es verdad. (It's true.)" Antonio says next to me as he also glances up.

We stayed quiet, enjoying the view. It was past nine at night and the pier was a bit busy since it was a Friday night. There are usually couples having a romantic night stroll after a dinner date or teenagers just hanging out in groups. 

A light breeze hit us making me shiver. Of course I had left my coat at home not thinking that it would be chilly tonight. "Donde estan mi modales? (Where are my manners?)" Antonio asks shrugging his suit jacket off then placing it over my shoulders. He really is a gentleman.

"Gracias. (Thank you.)" I smile at him bringing the jacket closer to my body. He's cologne that lingered on it wafted my nostrils. He smelled so good.

"De nada hermosa. (You are welcome beautiful.)" smiling back. "Are you warmer now?"

"I am. I didn't realize it would be chilly tonight."

"Hmm it is but don't worry, I can warm you up if you are still cold." turning me around so I face him. He was so much taller than me like Kiran that even with heels I had to look up at him.

Lifting his hands he placed them on each side of my arms and rubbed them up and down. I closed my eyes from the contact and his warm touch.

"Layla?" I hear him call out but I just hummed in response.

"Hmm?" opening my eyes I meet his which are staring back. He seemed to be perplexed over something.

"Necesito admitirte algo...y che no se como empesar. (I need to admit something to you...and I don't know how to begin.)"

I was taken back from his words, wondering what he needed to admit...please don't be gay...please don't be gay...I repeated because it would ruin my fantasy of him.

"Okay, just tell me." I told him with reservation. I really hope that what it was wasn't bad.

Antonio nodded his head. "I need to tell you that you took my breath away the moment you walked into the conference room this afternoon. Not only did you look confident but you made me laugh with your sense of humor. You seemed to be honest and passionate about your work which I admire. I know that in a way it's unprofessional of me to have asked you out to dinner since you are a candidate for the position, but I couldn't hold back in asking you out. I would have been very upset with myself if I hadn't." he says taking a deep breath as he looks over my head and then back down at me.

"I also know that if I kissed you..." his eyes darted down to my lips then back at  me. "...it would completely be unprofessional." whispering the last part.

My eyes widened at his admittance and I felt a bit disappointed since I wanted him to kiss me but at least he was being honest. At least I wouldn't be wondering why he didn't kiss me at the end of the night.

"Thank you for being honest Antonio and I respect that. It would be awkward later if I did get the job and we had ended up kissing or having sex-" I stopped myself. Face palm Layla...did you just tell your possible future boss that you wanted to have sex with him?

His brows knitted together. "Is that what you've been thinking?"

"Umm, no! What? No...no...that's not it at all. Wh-what I meant was that if-if we ever did, it would be extremely awkward." I stammered like a fool. How freaking embarrassing!

He chuckled lightly and lifted my chin up with his index finger so I could look up at him. "Ay Layla, si vos supieras las cosas que estoy pensando en mi mente hermosa...no solamente no profesional, pero ilegal tambien. (...if you only knew the things I was thinking in my mind beautiful...it wouldn't only be unprofessional, but illegal also.)"

I think my knees just buckled...

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

"Thank you for tonight Antonio." I tell him once we made it to my front door. We had just made it back to my house after the walk on the pier. After what he had told me I felt like I was going to be in heat. How can a man be so sensual with his words? It must be his Argentinean accent.

"It was my pleasure Layla. Thank you for accepting my invitation." he says smiling down at me.

"Well, thank you for the invitation...again." smiling up at him until there was silence.

Antonio kept looking at my mouth like he did most of the night but hadn't made a move because of what he told me. I just wanted him so badly to break that rule. I don't think I've wanted a man to kiss me as badly as I wanted Kiran to...well before of course.

"Don't you have an early flight to catch in the morning?" I interrupted his stare causing his eyes to snap back at mine.

"Si. I suppose I need to get going then. Though I much rather stay with you and continue getting to know each other." winking as he took a step closer to me.

"That would be nice, but you are a very busy man Mr. Diaz and I wouldn't want to keep you from getting your rest or missing your flight." 

"You are forgetting Ms. Mendez that I am the boss and I do have a private plane at my beckon call." 

"Ah the perks of being wealthy." I sigh out dramatically making him chuckle and pull me into his arms.

"The perks which I would love to show you one of these days. If you let me of course."

"Wouldn't that be unprofessional?"

"I could make an exception..." he says cupping the side of my face. I know for a fact that I was blushing.

"Vos es tan bonita Layla. (You are so pretty Layla.)" he whispered rubbing the tip of his nose on mine. Was he trying to make me pass out?

I gulped feeling his warm breath on me. His lips parted a bit as did mine...was he going to kiss me...because I really really wanted him too.

Seconds passed when he leaned down and kissed the corner of my mouth. Ugh, so close.

Pulling away he hugged me tightly and sighed. "I need to go. Thank you again for joining me for dinner Layla. I had a marvelous time."

"I did too Antonio, thank you." I breathe out smelling his cologne that was heavenly.

His warmth left me once he moved back and smiled. "Have a very good night hermosa. Until we meet again."

"Good night Antonio. Have a safe flight." I say back while I wave bye.

Nodding his head he turned to leave while I stood there and watched him. Getting to his car he waved good bye showing me his panty dropping smile then got in and took off after he turned on the car.

"God you are perfect." I say to myself shaking my head then turned to unlock my door.

Once in, I lock it then slipped my shoes off because my feet were killing me and just left them in front of the entrance. I was too tired and lazy to pick them up. I even unzipped my dress and slipped it down dropping it on the floor where I stood leaving me only in my bra and underwear. I would pick them up tomorrow. I just wanted to go to bed and dream of the sexy man I had just gone out on a date with.

**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

Ding Dong...Ding Dong...

Moaning from the loud door bell I groan and curse the ratchet jodio person that was ringing it and interrupting my wonderful sleep and dreams. Maybe if I ignore them they will disappear.

Knock...Knock...Knock...

Ugh...now they have the nerve to knock? If I didn't answer before then what makes them think that I would open now. It's my day off...I need to sleep.

Ding Dong...Knock...Knock...

"ARE YOU FUDGING SERIOUS?" I scream out as I kick over the covers off of me. I swear whoever is on the other side of my door better run before I jump and strangle them.

Snatching my robe off the end of my bed I put it on as I stomp my way out the door and to the hallway. Quickening my steps I made it to the top of the staircase still hearing the maniac trying to break down my door.

Knock...Knock...Ding Dong...

Reaching the door I unlock it and fling the door open screaming. "Who ever the hell you are better have nine lives because I am going to take a few of them."

Looking in front of me stood non other than Kiran with his hand up like if he was ready to knock on my door again...I am so going to kill him. But instead I slammed the door in his face and turned on my heels to head back upstairs to my comfortable bed.

"Layla!" he yells as he opened the door then slams it shut behind him. 

"What the hell do you want Kiran?" I stop and turn around mad. I glare at him but I notice his eyes widen at the sight of me.

He stared at me then looked at me up and down. Cocking my brow I looked down at myself noticing that I hadn't tied my robe. Shaking my head I close it. "What? It's not like you haven't seen me in bras and underwear before. Now, why do you feel like coming here to wake me up from the most amazing sleep I have had in a long time?"

Shaking his head he glanced up to my face. "What took you so long to answer the door?"

"Didn't I just say that I was sleeping?" I tell him in a duh voice which I know annoys him.

"Layla. I'm asking you a simple question which I would like for you to ans-" he cuts himself off and looks down because he had tripped on my heels.

Furrowing his eyebrows he kneeled down and picked them up. Standing up he glances around the room searching for something. He takes a few steps and bends down picking up my dress. His face expression changes from surprised to mad until he looked at the side of me and glared at something. I had no idea what he was glaring at until I followed his stare and noticed the item he was focusing on.

"Kiran?" I say lowly taking a step closer to him but he shook his head as he clenched his jaw and fists while still holding my heels and dress.

"WHERE THE F**K IS HE? I'M GOING TO F'ING KILL HIM." then darted past me up the stairs to head to my room as I called his name for him to stop but he didn't.

Hello guys, hope everyone is doing well. I had time to update but I probably won't be updating for a while since I am getting ready to go to my Grandmother's Burial Memorial in a few days. Hope you like the chapter.

What do you guys think of Antonio and Layla's date? Is there an attraction towards her and was his excuse valid? What is wrong with Kiran?
