What Mr Smith had in mind at first was to take Victoria to a grand place where he would get people to decorate very beautifully and set up a table for two for the both of them with red wines, sea food, cakes for dessert and flowers but that all changed after his little argument with Victoria.He had decided to keep it simple and take her out for dinner instead to talk things out with her. He was nervous. He didn't know if he should go with his suit or dress casually. Things like this were always hard for him. Relationship was something he never did too well with which was why he didn't get into any relationship after his last relationship.In his last relationship, it was the girl who had done the most, she was the one consistent and initiating things which was one of the many reasons she left.

She imagined them arguing back and forth but she realized she had imagined wrong when she knew of Mr Smith's personality."I didn't intend to hurt you in any way or look down on you. It wasn't in my intentions to make you look like a hoe. Not at all,

Victoria lay on her back on her bed as she looked at the ceiling with a smile on her face. Her hands were on her stomach as she recollected what happened earlier that night.The conversation with Mr Smith went more smoothly than she had expected and she was not expecting him to confess to her and tell her that he was going to court her.They ate their food in silence but every once in a while, they would sneak glances at one another and some other times, their eyes locked with one another but she would be the first to look away as her cheek would flush in embarrassment.While they left the restaurant, Mr Smith locked his hands with her but she had made an attempt to remove her hands but he held them firmly, not looking at her.She could feel her heartbeat on her head as they walked. She felt so shy and she felt her knees weaken.

When he whispered in her ear asking her to invite him to her bed, she instantly thought dirty.Then while trying to gather herself after such pant soaking words, his wet lip touched hers. She panted deeply, trying to get a hold of herself. Her feelings were all over the place again just for a simple touch.

After a while, she finally went back to the office now in a better mood, making Rebecca wonder.Earlier her mood was good, then sour and now good again. She couldn't help but ask what happened to her.
