Discovering My Stranger

Invite to London

Liam’ P.O.V

Next week is my sister’s birthday and I have been told to take a date and I have no idea who to take. I can take Kate but only if she agrees to fly to London as my date. It won’t cause any harm since we have already been spending so much time together at work, on short trips, dinners and lunch dates over weekends and taking her as my date to my sister’s birthday celebrations won’t be much of a big deal.

I have 4 days to ask Kate to go to London with me this Friday. Kate is beautiful and my fear now is that I want more than just her being my assistant. It takes be back to the day I first met her, her Amazonian figure sat well on her wafer-thin body. She had a decanter shaped waist and her complexion had an impeccable, ochrous hue. Her pencil-thin eyebrows eased down gently to her black, beetle’s-leg eyelashes. Her midnight-black hair was amazingly beautiful when it flowed over her shoulders. Her eyes filled with so much innocence, cherry colored lips. I didn’t realize Kate was standing in front of me,

“Excuse me” she snaps her fingers

“Yes” I respond as if I have just returned to earth

“You zoned out for a while I have been talking to you and am sure you didn’t hear a single word” she frowned.

“Am sorry” I sat up straight in my chair “come to London with me this Friday”

“Excuse me what” she seems shocked and started flipping pages in her diary which was in her hand as she stood in front of me. I hated the fact that she had to stand in front of me like that every single day like a secretary but yes, she was my PA but still I didn’t like it at all.

She cleared her throat before she spoke “Did I miss something” she flipped another page in her diary

“I don’t think you have any trips or meetings this weekend” she looked at me puzzled.

“I didn’t say it was a meeting Kate”

“Then what is it sir?”

“Saturday 5th October is my sister Susan’s birthday.” She looked at me weird which made me burst out laughing.

“Kate, you and I have been invited to attend her birthday dinner”

“Me and you?” she sounded confused.

“Yes you and I, together” I said. She froze not saying a single word. I got up went around my table and stood in front of her only leaving inches between us. She made a few steps back and turned the other way.

“If it’s not works related why do I have to come along?” she spoke not facing me and I moved towards her again and stood right in front of her. Her face was facing the ground and I lifted her chin using my index finger.

“I know it’s not work related and I still want you to accompany me. Please be my plus one otherwise I am toast showing up alone.” I looked at her pouting until she sighed.

“Fine, I will accompany you. But nothing more”

I burst out laughing. “Yes nothing more.

Yes……..I was afraid she would say no to me, now I just had to make sure everything was okay with Kate , my sister was not going to be happy if I showed up alone.
