NOTE: I DO NOT OWN DANTE OR DMC. The OC is the person I made up.

Trishelle sighed in a frustrated manner as she walked to work. This was the second

time in a month that her car had broken down and she was walking to work. Again. She

rewrapped the scarf around her neck, her messenger bag hitting the side of her thigh as

she paced herself through crowds of people. She sighed again, this time with relief, as her

job's building came into sight.

Walking in moments later, she went straight to the elevator and began to head for the

fifth floor. She stepped off as the doors opened, giving everyone a small smile who had

noticed her coming in. Her gaze moved from person to person as she walked to her desk

area but suddenly stopped in a silver haired guy in a medium sized t-shirt and black jeans.

Dante.

She had always found him attractive and had liked him, but who would've guessed

that? They were mean to each other most of the time or always arguing.

"Did you test that game last night?" he asked as she headed to her desk, which was right

next to his. Trishelle shook her head no, raising her eyebrows as she did this. She began

unwrapping the scarf and took her coat off. Dante smirked then laughed quietly. "You're

slipping, Trish." He replied as he stood up and made his way towards her. "Do you like

being a game tester for this company?" Trishelle remained silent as she sat down at her

desk and began pulling out documents to work on. "I do…" she finally replied. "But I'd

prefer to be a designer, Dante. You know this already." She added softly, not in the mood

to argue with him. She stacked a couple of papers then looked up at him, arching an

eyebrow. He laughed softly, deciding to piss her off as always. Dante knew deep down

that Trishelle was one hell of an artist who created characters whose looks were out of

this world. He would never admit this to her. For now. Trishelle growled with disgust as

he laughed at her, as if to mock her talent. "Fuck you. I'm awesome at what I do. And

you know it, jackass." She retorted as she stood up and headed for the game testing room

to test the game that she was assigned to. Dante followed, having nothing else better to do

than to pester her. She turned to see him behind her and rolled her eyes. "Don't you have

someone else to fuck with?" She asked, placing a hand on the testing room doorknob. He

smirked and placed a hand on her back. "You know you love having me around." He

replied, acting as if he was really conceited. She felt chills that followed his touch and her

heart began beating faster.

"I'd love to have you…" she thought as she softly bit on her lower lip.

"Whatever." She stated simply as she walked in, not bothering to hold the door open for

him. He smiled at her attitude and walked in after her. He slowly eyed her up and down,

just as he did when he first saw her. She was at a medium with long brown hair which

was streaked with blond. Her skin was a light tone with chocolate brown eyes. He

admired her body as his eyes continued to slowly wander from the top to the bottom, her

curves driving him crazy. He quickly snapped out of his thoughts before she realized

what he was doing.

"The game was alright. A little too plain for my taste." He told her, sitting in the chair

closest to him. "You know I love action. Blood. Gore. The works." He continued as he

sat back comfortably. She looked towards him and shrugged carelessly. "Well I do too.

But a good game is a good game. Not based on my preferences." She replied quickly. "So!

If it's good, I'll say it's good." She added with a small sigh. Dante rolled his eyes then

looked down at his watch. "Okay. Well, hurry this up. The building closes in two hours."
