The Sleepover

While in the car, Jon has asked her to stay in his suite. "No, sir," she refused his offer, "I will try and find an inn near..." he cut her off, "There's no need for an inn, listen, I do have a room for visitors. You don't have to be afraid." He was trying to assure her that she is safe with him, as he has sensed fear from her eyes. "She is young, and naive," he thought. The car stops in front of a luxury residential tower, they both got out of the car,

When they got to the tower, Catherine's eyes opened up with amazement. "Wow!" she whispered as the glass elevator took them to the top floor. It was located at the southwest wing of the building, and the beautiful view from the city is simply irresistible to the eye. Jon continues to study her face from where he stands. He was smiling, and as she looked at him and said, "It's so beautiful!" he simply replied with a smile, and as she gazed back to the scenery, he said, "Indeed, truly very beautiful." They got to the suite, and again she was amazed by everything she saw. The furnishings, the elegant style and the lights, made her jaw drop with astonishment. "Is this your place, sir?" she asked, dumbfounded. "Well, if you are to stay in here, you'll need to stop calling me sir," he smiled at the young lady. "Call me Jon, please?" "Okay, Jon" she almost laughed at herself. "And I shall call you Catie." "What?" she exclaimed a bit, "all my friends call me Cathy." But he gave her a naughty smile and said, "And so that makes it so common. If you get lost in a sea of people, all I have to do is to shout and call you Catie, then you'll know that it's me." he added, as he hands his coat over to his assistant. "This is Lee, he is a nice man and if there is anything you need, he is the best person to speak to." Lee greeted her, "Good evening, miss." She smiled at him, as Jon led her into a beautiful room. "This is where my sister stays when she visits. You can sleep in here." He sat on the bed, and tapped on his side, as if telling her to sit beside him. And she did, while gazing around the lavender themed bedroom. "Fit for a princess!" As Cathy couldn't believe her eyes, she suddenly changed her mood. "Your sister? How about your wife?" "Am I that old that you assume I've got a wife?" he jokingly asked. She suddenly stood up, thinking she had offended him, "no sir," she said with a louder voice. "I mean Jon." She walked towards a corner and sat on a chair. It is covered with velvet sheets, thick and soft like sheep's wool. "You like it?" Jon smiled and asked her. "I'll leave you here, and if you there is anything you need, you may ask any of them." he pointed at the women near the door, as they are the household helpers, "Lee should be in bed by now, and as my personal assistant, he needs to get some rest." He winked at her, "Hope you have a great sleep, Catie." "Thank you very much, Jon." she replied with a smile on her face. He left and closed the door after him.

They both slept, and in that evening, neither of them knew that it would be the start of something wonderful.

Jon wakes up the next morning, and Cathy is already done with her breakfast. "Good morning," she greeted him, "Too early," he replied. "They say the early bird catches the worm, so..." he decided to sit next to her on the long couch. "Are you trying to catch a worm? Is the worm named Lee or what?" he jokingly said, which made her laugh a bit. "Jon, I.." she looked down at her suitcase, which made him think that she is planning to leave. "Yes? Are you headed home?" he managed to ask her. "Yeah, thank you for allowing me to stay here." she is smiling beautifully, "and thank you, for saving my life last night." He suddenly felt like a knight in shining armor, and she said it, he stepped closer to her and held her hands. "It's my pleasure." Cathy suddenly felt something in her chest, and as he moves closer, she noticed something different in his eyes. "His bluish grey eyes are attractive", she silently thought. She moved back, and placed her right hand to her left chest as if she is trying to feel the beat of her heart. She stood up, leaving Jon clueless. "You okay?" he asked. "Yeah," she tried her best not to stare at his eyes. Her heart is beating so loud that she could hear it. "I need to leave, I have work today" she said smiling. "I'll have someone take you home," he offered, but she refused. "I can go, I will be safe." "All right then," he said and they said goodbye as she left.

She was walking towards the elevator when she accidentally bumped to another woman's shoulder. The lady looked like a fashion model to her, "She's pretty", she thought to herself. The lady has blonde hair, with brown almond eyes. She is tall and petite, beautiful and very attractive. Cathy continued on her way, while the lady obviously went into Jon's unit, as she is seen greeting Lee by the doorstep.
