"We're here Mrs Trusk."
Anna watched the chauffeur open the door. She got out of the limousine. Anna couldn't believe she was actually doing this, she was actually doing what Angelo wanted, she was meeting up with him. She pulled her sunshades off her face as she took a quick glance at the hanger. She could hear the whooshing sounds of the blades of the helicopter in front of her as they whirled around each other. Why was she standing in front of a helicopter anyway? Was this why he called her here? To play? Just how childish did he have to be?

"Welcome Mrs Trusk." she heard the woman that approached her say, her smile increasing every step of the way. She looked like an air hostess. "This way please."
Anna looked at the woman for a short while, clenching her fists, this was really frustrating. Here she was thinking Angelo had asked to meet because he had something urgent to show her but that was not the case.

Just be calm Anna,

Anna let out a weak breath and then turned to the woman. She followed quietly as the woman led her to the helicopter

Anna had no idea what was happening. She just followed her lead until she saw Angelo standing close to the entrance in his black suit. Anna rolled her eyes. Just great.
She got closer.

"Hey!"
Angelo yelled loud so she could hear him.

"What is this?"  She yelled back

"It's just something I planned to take you off the edge."

"Take me off the edge? Angelo, don't we have better things to do with our time? A company to run instead of trying to recreate a really silly version of fifty shades? If you don't care about running Trusk enterprise with me then don't, I've got a company to run and I don't want to be taken off the edge right now. Thanks for the help but it's a complete waste of time. You should wrap this up."

She turned to leave.

"Hey!" Angelo went after her and grabbed her by her hand so she could stop. He walked to the front of her. All he wanted to do was help her but Anna didn't even care.

She glared at him. He was really persistent and starting to annoy her. Why was he doing all of this? Angelo let out a frustrated exhale.

"Look all I'm trying to do is help you okay? There's no big deal in having a little fun. The company's always going to be there when you're done, when we return. You already showed me a part of your world the other day with your parents too, I just want to help, I wanted to show you mine."

Anna scoffed. Why was he being so cheesy all of a sudden? Why was he being like this? What changed? She just couldn't understand. Did he pity her? Was that why he was trying so hard? She folded her hands.

"Come on. Its going to be fine. Trust me."

He stretched out his hand. Anna looked at it for a while. That was the first time a human had ever asked for her trust. Anna didn't know what to say, she didn't know if she was ever going to be able to trust him or any of his kind. She wanted to refuse, to turn back and head for the car but a part of her wanted to go with Angelo. A part of her wanted to know for sure what he had planned.

Come on Anna, its only going to be for a few minutes. What could possibly happen?

Anna found herself stretching her hands slowly to Angelo. She placed her tiny hands in his big palms. They felt so warm. Angelo smiled and then nodded. He led her to the cockpit. Anna swallowed hard.

She had never flown in a helicopter before.
A man rushed to her quickly and helped her put on her seat belt. He placed headphones on her ears too. She slowly turned to the pilot's seat. Angelo was getting his seat belts on too.

"What are you doing?"
She had to ask. "I had no idea you knew how to fly a helicopter."

Angelo looked at her. He scoffed.

"There's a lot of things you don't know about me Mrs Trusk."

He said checking to see if her seat belts were tight enough as the door closed.

Anna could smell the awsome fragrance of his perfume. She had never been that close to him ever.

She froze at the instant .
He looked at her, his Grey eyes staring right into hers. He was the definition of perfection. Angelo smiled, exposing his dimples at the both sides of his cheeks.

"Relax."
He told her and she felt her body relax immediately, obeying him.

Anna held her breath as the helicopter slowly rose in the air. She couldn't believe it. She had been on a plane before, but this, this was different.

"Oh my God!"

She held on to her seat as tight as she could.

"Oh my God." she laughed so loud covering her face with her hands. She was so excited and it was embarrassing. Everything looked so tiny from up There. She was amazed. She had never seen the world that way before.

"Oh my God!"

Angelo looked at her. He chuckled. He liked seeing her laugh. The upright Anna Trusk was laughing. He pulled the pitch and the helicopter went higher.

Anna could feel the wind in her hair. She kept screaming and laughing.

Everything was so perfect.

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

"Your table is over here Mr Trusk."
Angelo and Anna followed the tall waiter as he led them to the empty table at the middle of the open restaurant.

"Thank you."

Angelo took a seat while Anna sat close to him. She looked round. It was the most beautiful restaurant she had ever been to. There was a lily garden and fake rose petals on the ground they walked on. She could count a lot of Asian people.
Of course she could. She was at a chinese restaurant.

"Ni Hao ma?" 

Anna turned quickly to the Chinese lady that stood beside their table in an apron.

"Mrs Xin."
Angelo smiled.

"Look who we have here." she said. "it's Angelo and his wife." The lady's smile was contagious but still it made Anna slightly uncomfortable. She had no idea how it felt like yet to be publicly referred to as "Angelo's wife".

"It's nice to see you too Mrs Xin."

"Wǒ néng bāng nǐ shénme ma?"
What can I get for you two?

Now she was speaking Chinese Again. Anna had never been so confused and amazed all at once. Something about that scenery and those people made her heart so warm.

"Wǒmen huì yǒu píngcháng de."
We'd have the usual.

Anna slowly at Angelo, her eyes widening and her jaw almost dropping. He was smiling hard.
The woman smiled and left. Angelo retraced his gaze to Anna.

"What?" He scoffed when he noticed how she had been staring at him.

"What do you know? He speaks Chinese."

"And Dutch, czech, German, Spanish, Italian and French."

"Wow. Did you travel round the world or something?"

"Nah, I just learnt them at different circumstances."

Anna furrowed her brows at him wondering why he wasn't asking her anything about what happened to her the day she transitioned. He wasn't even going to ask how her bracelet got deactivated.

"Don't worry,"
He smiled. "I wont ask you anything right now till you're ready to talk about it."

It was like he was reading through her.
Angelo knew exactly why he thought about taking her out. To take her head off everything that had happened the days that had past. It was the least he could do to make her feel better and bringing up questions like that were only going to make her uncomfortable.

He really wanted to know.
You could always ask later Angelo. He reminded himself . He turned to the menu.

"Oh."

Anna turned to the tiny garden at the other side of the restaurant. There were two teenagers sitting on a bench. Anna could see the bracelet on the girls hand, but the boy had none. She smiled. Interracial love.

She noticed they were sitting still while a man drew them on paper.

"I never knew you were a fan of art?"
She turned to Angelo.

"It's just something that gave me comfort at a particular time in my life." she scoffed.

"It's funny isn't it? How we are married and don't have a single picture together ."

She turned back to the couple.
The painter was done. She watched them get to their feet with smiles on thier faces. They looked at the portrait. It looked like they were satisfied with it.
Angelo looked at her.

"Do you want us to take one? "
Anna turned to him.

"What?" She blinked. Was he suggesting they had their portraits drawn?

"A portrait."

"No."

"Come on." Angelo got up and reached for her hands. "He's pretty good, the best in the city, it's going to be fun."

He pulled her to the garden before Anna could say anything else.

"Wǒmen xīwàng nǐ néng chōuchū women"
We would like you to draw us please.

Anna watched the old man look at the both of them. He nodded in agreement and smiled. Anna slowly moved to the bench with Angelo.
They sat on it. The old man looked at Angelo

"Nǐ de qīzi fēicháng měilì."

Anna frowned. Now they were speaking Chinese to each other and she felt left out. She couldn't shake off the feeling that he had said something about her especially since he looked at her and smiled right after.

"What did he say?" she asked Angelo.

"He thinks you're really beautiful."
Angelo told her. Anna forced a smile on her face.

"How do you say thank you in Chinese?"
She whispered

"Just say Xièxiè."

Anna turned to the man.

"Xièxiè."

He smiled.

Anna cleared her throat as he gestured them to stay still. She folded her hand in a ball. She was so nervous.

She held her breath as soon as she felt Angelo's hands on hers. He locked his fingers into hers gently. He looked at her and smiled.

Anna smiled nervously.

They both turned back to the man.

Oh hell!

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

Anna chuckled loud as she and Angelo walked up the stairs. They were both drunk and couldn't believe it.

"Oh my God, how much did we have to drink?"
Anna said as Angelo helped her get to the front of her room, with both of them staggering.

God.

Anna could barely feel her face. Even though it was temporary, even if she was going to get sober faster than a regular human, Anna didn't want it to end. She was better being happy and acting without thinking. She liked being like this, stress free, not thinking about anything else, not thinking about who she was and her great calling.

"Easy"
Angelo turned on the lights and closed the door behind them once they got inside her bedroom.

"Oops."
Anna chuckled as he carried her off her feet

"There we go."

He gently placed her on her bed and rose her blanket so it could cover her enough.

Anna sighed, shifting inside her sheets to make herself comfortable.

"And I'll see you in the morning okay?" Angelo laughed. It was crazy seeing her like that, seeing him like that.

Angelo rubbed his head and then turned to go when Anna stopped him. She grabbed his hand. He froze and then turned to her. Did she want something?

Anna slowly took the blanket off her body.

"Hey." she whispered trying to stand on her feet. She almost fell but Angelo caught her.
They both chuckled. She was dead beat drunk, even more than he was.

"Where do you think you're going tough guy?"
Angelo scoffed. What had gotten into her?

"My room of course. Where else?"

"Mnn" she pulled his hand. "Don't go please." she pulled him close.

"Anna, it's getting really late and we've both got to be early at the company for the shareholder's meeting."

"Yeah yeah yeah. I know all that. But you said so yourself, the company is not running anywhere."

"Not in this context." Angelo sneered. He couldn't believe she was using his own words against him.

He looked into her eyes. They were so bright, so brown. Anna was staring at him too. There were a lot of things going through her head. Really stupid things.

"I want you Angelo."
She told him, she was being really shameless about it and blunt too.

Angelo watched her unbotton the first three bottons on her shirt. He held his breath.

"I want your hands here."
She slowly reached for his hands and placed it on her firm breasts. She moaned.

This was crazy. Angelo thought it was but he was too drunk to get his head straight. To shake it all off.

"And I want your lips on mine," she pulled him closer and gave him a soft kiss. "Like this."
Angelo inhaled sharply. It was obvious she was deadbeat drunk. They both were. He had to stop her before they did something they were going to regret in the morning.

"Anna, I don't think this is right." He told her as she hurried to pull down the zipper of his trouser. He held her arm and pulled her away.

He looked at her.

"We both should probably sleep this off and talk in the morning."

Anna pushed his hands away.
She slowly reached for his tie and loosened it. She pulled it from his neck and flug it away.

And then she reached for her shirt. She ripped it off her skin she reached for her jeans and pulled it off too. She stood in front of him, she wanted him to see, giving him a minute to decide what he wanted to do with what he saw? Was he going to give in or just walk away?

Angelo swallowed hard.
He could feel the heat well up inside him as he stared at her almost naked body. She was beautiful. Anna chuckled slightly as she traced her eyes to his trousers.

And there it was.
An erection

"You were saying?" She asked him. "I'm standing right in front of you Angelo, almost naked. The dangerous Atian girl. The big bad monster. What are you going to do about it?" Angelo took a step and then two and then three to her. "Or are you too scared to-"

He pulled her closer and kissed her deeply before she could say anything else. Anna chuckled as he reached hungrily for her bra and undid it with one of his fingers while she struggled to pull off his shirt. Angelo pushed her to the bed, trying to be as gentle as he could. He pulled down her panties and she pulled down his jeans.

And before anyone knew it, he went inside her.

Anna shut her eyes.

That was the pleasure she wanted. That was all she wanted.

"Yes."
She whispered into his ears.
Anna could feel her heart beat rise.

It was just as she had fantasized about, just as she had imagined it would be, amazing. At that moment, it felt like she was with someone else, a bigger monster than she ever was. A hot monster.

She shut her eyes.

Don't stop
She prayed. She didn't want him to stop.
And he didn't.
