Vanessa “You’re late Vanessa.” The words rolled off his tongue with such strong conviction like I had done a great sin. “I told you not to be late, but here you are late.” He continues, his eyes not straying from mine at any point. I knew that Anderson told me not to be late but he also failed to apologise so in my books, this brings us to equal score. “I lost track of time, I apologise for keeping you waiting.” I say trying to sound as sincere as I can. “Time is valuable, Vanessa. If yours isn’t, mine is.” He retorts. I almost feel like he’s taking shots at me but it dawns on me that he’s really just being honest, Anderson is a billionaire after all and he couldn’t have gotten there by being late. “I know. I’m sorry” I tell him, with more honesty than before. “It’s okay. I had already entertained the possibility of you being late.” He replied coolly. Of course he did. I have apologised to Anderson twice now for something he saw coming and he hasn’t done that once. It’s almost l

A part of me liked that he did though, because despite how charged the atmosphere was, I do want to take things slow. I want to really get to know him and for him to know me, I don’t want to play any kind of games with him. While still in

Vanessa. “And we almost kissed guys.” I say. I could feel my blood rushing to my neck and cheeks. “You almost did what!!!” Gemma shrieked “And why almost?” Bella asked further. Today the girls and I were having coffee at this cafe that was more or less an equal distance from all our places so it had quickly become our usual spot. I recounted the whole date to the girls and the call the next day. The astonishment on their faces matched mine last night. “He said he wants to pursue you? Just like that?” Gemma asked. “Mhm, just like that. Even I couldn’t believe what I heard.”“At least he’s direct and he knows what he wants, which is clearly you, Nessa.” Bella grinned.“So what does that mean for you guys right now? Are you in a relationship or what?” Bella asks further. “No, I wouldn’t presume to be in a relationship. We’re just getting to know each other better and exploring things, you know. To be sure it’s worth committing to. At least that’s what I think.” I answer. “Hmm, o
