Next day

Emma's POV

"Rise and shine princess" Henry said in a soft voice.

I blinked a few times to focus my eyes and saw him standing in front of me with a warm smile.

"What time is it?" I asked him because I am pretty sure it is wayyy past breakfast time.

"Nearly 12 princess"

"Wow, I slept for that long?" I said surprised.

"Come on princess, let's hit the beach before we leave" he said throwing his hoodie at me.

I smiled remembering the events of last night.

I got up from the bed but lost my balance immediately. When I was almost about to fall, Henry caught me and lifted me up bridal style.

"I am sorry princess" he apologized looking down.

I put my hand on his cheek and turned his face towards me.

"It's okay Henry, I am happy." I said and a smile crept on his face.

He carried me to the bathroom and helped me brush my teeth and take a shower. The pain started to ease a bit and I was able to walk but slowly.

"If you want, we can stay in and cuddle princess." He suggested.

"Not happening. I have never stayed in a house with a private beach before. I am going to enjoy it as much as I can." I said firmly.

"This is your house princess. We can come back at any time you want." He smiled.

"Really? This is your house?" I asked surprised.

Of course, it is. He is freaking rich.

"Our's princess" he corrected me and I just shook my head smiling.

I wore a t-shirt and shorts and we went to the beach. Henry and I played on the beach for a while and enjoyed the warm sun.

"Henry?" I said while we were sitting on the sand cuddling.

"Yes princess?" he asked.

"I want to tell you something but you should promise me that you won't get mad at me or leave me" I said turning to face him.

"I will never leave you, princess. I love you." He smiled and I nodded.

What I am about to say is surely going to affect him but I can't keep it from him anymore.

He was looking at me intently. I took a deep breath and began to speak.

"Okay, I want to tell you two things. First, I don't want anyone at work to find about us yet because I don't want them to treat me differently."

"But princess...." He started to speak but I cut him off.

"Please Henry, I want to be just your intern at the office." I said.

He thought for a moment and said "okay" in a sad tone.

"What is the second one?" he asked.

"I.....i.....i want to go back to Harvard and finish my course" I blurted out and closed my eyes because I don't know how he will react.

"Princess?" he said and I peeked through my fingers slowly opening my eyes.

"Don't worry Henry, I will finish the contract period and then go" I added.

He smiled and that brought a smile onto my lips.

"I am completely okay with you going back to Harvard princess but promise me you will come back after." He said

"I promise" I replied smiling widely.

"Good because I love you too much princess." He said and that melted my heart.

I placed my lips on his and kissed him passionately.

"Yo guys" Piper said walking towards us and we pulled away.

"Really piper?" Henry said irritated.

"Oops" she said chuckling.

I can't help but laugh and Henry did too.

"Okay, I came to inform you that we are leaving in an hour and you two need to start packing" she ordered.

"Already? I want to stay for some more time." he pouted.

"She is right Hen. We should go now" I said and he opened his eyes wide in shock.

I am confused.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"Yeah, what is it bro?" piper asked him.

"Y...you called me Hen" he said.

"So?" I asked him still not understanding his expression.

"You never called me Hen before. You only called me Henry or Mr. Hart but never Hen." He explained and that is when I realized.

"You don't like it?" I asked nervously.

"No, I want you to call me Hen" he replied firmly.

"Awwww...that's so cute now get your butts up and get packing" Piper said walking away.

Henry pulled me into a mesmerizing kiss after which we packed our bags and went back to New York.

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

When I reached home, Jenna was jumping up and down squealing.

"What's wrong Jen?" I asked her concerned.

She was jumping on the couch like a crazy person and I am really worried she might have gone mad or something like that.

She showed me her hand and then I was happy and started to jump with her.

"Paul proposed? When?" I asked her after we settled a bit.

"This morning. I woke up and he was on one knee and he proposed" she explained.

"Wow, congratulations Jen. I am so happy for you." I said hugging her.

"Thank you Em" she said giggling.

"So, where is Paul?" I asked her because I couldn't see him anywhere.

"Here" Paul said coming out of the kitchen with two plates full of food.

"Pancakes, my favorite" I squealed grabbing the plate from his hand and stuffing my face with food.

"Yeah, but don't eat a lot because we are going out" Paul said.

"Wow?" I asked stuffing pancakes into my mouth.

"What?" Jen asked unable to comprehend my words.

"Now?" I asked again after swallowing the food in my mouth.

"Yes, because we want to celebrate it" Paul said excitedly.

"Uh, that's okay guys. Maybe you two should go" I suggested because I can see that they were only trying to be polite by inviting me.

"I don't want to be the third wheel" I added.

"Awww, don't worry Em, you will find someone" Jen comforted me.

I just nodded because I can't tell her about me and Henry. Not yet.

"Okay, Em, we are....." Paul began to say when my phone rang.

It was Henry.

I debated for a minute if I should receive it in front of Jenna and Paul but then picked up the call because I don't want them to get suspicious.

Phone conversation

"Hi princess" Henry said.

"Hello, Mr. Hart." I replied.

"Mr. Hart?" Henry said puzzled.

"Yes, Mr. Hart, I am at my house with my friend Jenna" I said hoping he would understand.

"Oh, okay Ms. Lawrence, I just called you to tell you that I want to meet you when you come to work tomorrow morning." He said.

"Yes, sir. I will." I replied and hung up.

Phone conversation end

"What was that about?" Jen asked.

"It's nothing. Some work thing." I said dismissively.

"Okay then, we should get going" Paul said and they left.

I went to my room and took a shower, changed into my PJs and went to sleep.

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

First Date:

Next Morning

Henry's POV

Today I am going to ask Emma on a date. A real date. I know she said we have to keep our relationship a secret but she didn't say anything about a date.

I got dressed and went to the office. Emma was already in her seat. I glanced sideways at her when I passed by her cubicle. She was smiling and that brought a smile on my face. I called her to my office.

Knock knock

"Come in" I smiled knowing it is my princess.

"You called me sir." She said in an innocent voice.

"Yes, Ms. Lawrence. Please close the door and take a seat" I said in a business tone.

She closed the door and instead of sitting in the chair, she walked over to me with a wicked expression on her face

"What is it you wanted to talk about Mr. Hart?" she said in a sexy tone sitting on my lap and started to grind on me.

"i...uhh...." I swallowed hard clearing my throat.

She chuckled to herself and started to place small kisses on my cheek which went down to my neck. I was starting to get hard already.

"Fuck....princess" I said a bit louder.

"shhhhh" she shushed me smirking.

"Princess, what are you doing? You said no one at work should know." I said while she was still continuing what she was doing.

"Yes, I did but I didn't say anything about me not having fun" she said in a naughty way.

I couldn't control myself anymore. I started to suck on her neck making her moan. After a few minutes, we heard a knock on the door. We both looked at each other not knowing what to do.

She ran to the desk and sat on the chair pretending like nothing happened.

"Uh come in" I said more like squeaked.

It was Ms. Lilywhite.

"Yes, Ms. Lilywhite?" I said.

"Sir, I just want your signature on these......" she stopped mid-sentence when she saw Emma sitting in the chair. She smiled evilly looking at Emma.

"Ms. Lilywhite?" I said and she turned to me.

"Uh yes sir, I just want your signature on these documents" she said putting them on my desk.

"Okay, you can have them back in an hour" I said and she went out leaving me and Emma alone again.

"She thinks I am reprimanding you for something princess" I said laughing.

"That is good Mr. Hart" she said standing up to leave.

"What now princess?" I asked her puzzled at her sudden change of behavior.

"Well, unlike you, I am just an intern and I have work to do." She sassed.

"Okay but I want to ask you something." I said.

"What is it?" she said squinting her eyes.

"Would you like to go on a date with me tonight princess?" I asked hoping she would say yes.

She looked at me seriously for a minute and then a smile crept onto her face "I would love to Hen" she replied and walked out.

I love it when she calls me Hen. 

After she left, I tried very hard to concentrate on work for the rest of the day.

Emma's POV

After work, I went home and got dressed for my date. I dressed casually. I told Henry that I will meet him at the restaurant because I don't want Jen to see me and Henry together.

When I went to the restaurant, Henry was nowhere to be seen. When I was about to call him, a waiter came and asked me "are you Ms. Lawrence ma'am?"

"Yes, I am" I replied.

"Follow me please" he said leading me to an elevator.

We went to the top floor where we went up the steps onto the terrace.

"I will be leaving now ma'am" he said leaving me in front of a closed door.

I opened the door to see rose petals on the ground leading the way to a table on the far end.

I followed the rose petals and reached the table when I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see Henry standing there with a rose in his hand.

"For you my lady" he said handing me the rose.

I giggled taking it from him.

"May I?" he said extending his arm and I took it.

He led me to the table and pulled the chair for me. After that, he went around and sat in his chair.

"This is just perfect Henry" I said smitten by his gesture.

"Only for you princess" he said and that made me giggle. He smiled.

We ate our delicious dinner and he specifically ordered vegetarian foods just for me.

"Thank you so much for this date Hen. I had a great time." I said when he dropped me off at my house. I didn't want him to but he wouldn't let me go alone.

"So, does that mean I get a second date?" he asked excitedly like a teenager.

"Yes, Henry" I chuckled.

"yesss" he said and I can't help but laugh.

"So, do I get a goodnight kiss?" he asked but just then Jenna called from inside, "Emma, is that you?"

"That's not fair" Henry pouted and I just laughed at him behaving like a child.

"Sorry, Henry maybe another time" I said trying to control my laughter.

"Fine but I am collecting it with interest." He said and I blushed.

He pecked on my cheek and left. I smiled to myself and went in.

"Who was it that you were talking to?" Jenna asked me standing there with her arms crossed and I rolled my eyes.

"You are not my mom Jen" I said and started to head to my room when Paul stopped me.

"Aghhhh....what is it, Paul?" I asked frustrated.

"Answer my fiancée's question Em" he said in a serious tone.

"You too....this is not fair" I pushed him aside and walked to my room.

"We will find out soon." Jen shouted after me but I didn't answer her.

I took a shower and went to sleep dreaming about me and Henry.

A/N: First official date!!!
