Draco stormed home from the office. Once again, he had been turned down by Granger. Four years ago she had applied for a job at his office, as his receptionist. Well with her intellect and everything she had gotten the job.

But back to now.

He huffed. Everyday for months he had tried to get her to go out with him. Her charm and brains just attracted his attention and the way she wasn't afraid to mouth off to him just made him want her more. Yet, nothing he did got her attention.

He threw himself onto the plush green couch. Damn! He was going to get Granger. Hermione Granger was HIS! Whether she liked it or not! He growled and rolled onto his back. But how in Merlin's name was he going to do it?

He tried jealousy but she didn't even look at the girl, she had continued work like always.

He tried romance but she gave him the flowers back once she saw who they were from.

He had also tried abusing his authority… but she had threatened to quit and if she quit he would likely never see her again…

Damn it! He clenched his fists in frustration. He sat up and crossed his legs in thought.

This was going to be harder than he had originally thought…

-Next morning-

Hermione walked into work. She loved her job. Yet working for Draco Malfoy was kind of hectic. Every week he would try and ask her out. She wanted to say yes but after what he had done to her during their school years? There was no way she could trust him! What if it was all some joke and he broke her heart? She wasn't going to let that happen. She wouldn't be hurt again.

She sighed and sat down at her desk and tapped her foot while she began writing out her paperwork.

"I don't see why you don't just charm your pen into doing that for you." Her heart practically stopped. Like it did every morning. Man she really needed to stop crushing on her boss. Soon.

She sighed. "Well Mr. Malfoy. I, unlike some people in this office, prefer to do things the right way and not do that just so I can go to bars and get drunk in the middle of the day." She said, continuing her work.

He huffed. "That's not all I do!"

She rolled her eyes and held up her next file. "Then do you want your share of the work?"

Draco gulped. Maybe if he started sharing the work she would agree to one of his dates? BINGO! IDEA!

He gave her a sexy smirk. "Okay how about this? I'll take all of the work if you will go on a date with me. Tonight." He said, leaning over the desk resting his elbows on it.

She eyed him. She wanted to and she would basically get the day off…

"Alright." She said, giving him a sexy grin. His eyes widened. "Seriously?"

She nodded. He grinned. "I'll pick you up at 8 then." She laughed and pulled the two giant stacks of paper from her desk and handed them to him. "Have fun." She winked, grabbed her purse and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?" He called after her. "Your doing my work, I see no reason to be here!" she yelled over her shoulder and pushed the door open and stepped into the sunny day. Maybe she would go to the beach…

Draco groaned. He had been doing paperwork for the past four hours. He sighed and rested his head on his desk. Was she worth it? Yes. Did he want to work? No. Was he going to keep working? Yea. What if she came back, saw he didn't, and declined his date offer? He would be crushed!

He sighed and sat up when he heard his door opening. "Hello?" He stared as Hermione came in with a coffee in each hand. "Just checking up on you." "What the hell are you wearing?" He yelled. She looked down. She was wearing her black and white bikini top with pink strings with black polka dots on it, blue shorts that stopped about mid thigh and her black flip flops. "Whats wrong with it…?" she asked, looking back up at him, her curly brown hair falling in front of her face gently. Oh how he wanted to push it behind her ear.

"You went out like that?" He asked. "Into a coffee shop?" She nodded. "If you don't want it I can take it to someone who does." She huffed and turned around.

He stood up so fast his chair hit the wall. "Don't leave!" He yelled panicking. She smirked and turned around.

"Then don't be rude to me when I bring your coffee sir." She scolded, sticking her tongue out playfully. He reached out and plucked the coffee from her hand and rolled his eyes.

She laughed. "So how's the paperwork coming?" She asked, sitting down in one of the two black chairs that were seated in front of his large desk.

He sighed. "How do you do it? I can't even do just this much!"

"Why don't you just charm the pen?" she mocked.

He stared at her. "Why didn't I think of that before?" He grinned and whipped out his wand and pointed it at his pen. Mumbling a quick spell he leaned back and watched as it skidded across the paper. He glanced at Hermione to see her staring at him.

"You…You're so lazy!" she yelled, standing up, glaring at him. "Hermione!" He jumped up and ran after her retreating back. She kept walking. "Damn it! Hermione wait up!" He called after her. Hermione growled and began to run. Draco easily caught up to her and slid his arms around her slim waist and lifter her off the ground.

"I thought I told you to wait up!" He hissed in her ear. Hermione struggled against him and he pulled her tighter. "Were still going on that date tonight miss." He whispered in her ear.

"Says who?"

"Draco Malfoy." He smirked. She huffed. "Fine. You lazy ass."

Draco let her go and watched her as she stormed away from him. He grinned, shoved his hands in his pockets and practically skipped back up to his office.
