Note: Hey guys! Sorry I have not updated in a while but I want to finish this story and I miss writing so enjoy and there will be more to come!

Hermione had just finished up with her last appointment of the day. She was trying to keep her spirt high since seeing Draco. She hated how easily she let him get to her. Every time she saw him, she was pulled to the past and the pain that went along with it. Why did life have to be so hard all the damn time?

Hermione looked down at her watch and she needed to get home and get ready for her date. It had been so long since she had gone on a date. She spent so much time working and trying to forget her past and Draco and then he just walks right back into her life with no warning.

NO! She told herself, I am not going to let him ruin my night. She grabbed her bag and walked to the office door. Kacey was still sitting at her desk. "Hey Kase, I'm done. So go ahead and get yourself home." She smiled warmly at her assistant.

"Will do boss! Have a nice time on your date!." Kacey winked at her with a big smile.

"Thank you!" Hermione said before popping home.

OOOOOOOOO

Hermione finished a long relaxing shower. With her towel wrapped around her and one around her hair she started the search through her closet. After 20 minutes of searching she finally settled for a forest green dress. The dress was a halter top the showed of her breasts in a classy way and was just above her knees in length. She kept her make-up simple with eye liner a light green eye shadow and lipstick. She didn't know if she should curl her hair or straighten it or up or down. But looking at the clock she did not have much time before Sean would be there. So she just styled her hair curly and it looked very cute.

As time counted down she noticed she was starting to get more and more nervous. When the front door bell rang she took a deep breath and answered the door.

"Draco..." She said as she opened he door. He was standing there with a smug smirk. "What in the hell are you doing here!" She half yelled.

"I needed to talk about the case again. My client has made a settlement offer. Can I come in?" He asked. He looked her up and down.

His look made Hermione's skin start to heat up and she could feel herself start to blush. "No, you can not come in. And I do not work at home. If you wanted to talk about the case you should come to my office not my house."

"What are you talking about? We worked from your place and my own on many occasions in the past." Draco reminded her.

FLASHBACK

Hermione was sitting at her desk in the smallest office in the whole building with Draco across from her. They had been working together for a month now and she was surprised by his work ethic. She was so sure she was a harder worker then him but he was giving her a run for her money.

"Are you almost finished with the brief?" Hermione asked him.

Draco looked up at her. "No, not yet. You?"

She sighed. "Sadly no. This place is so small and claustrophobic, it makes working in here harder for me."

"Oh, well then maybe you should just quit. Look for a job some place else and I'll take the office for myself." He responded, his eye never leaving the paperwork he was reading.

"Ha ha, very funny. We both know I'm not going to willingly leave." She started reading again when an idea popped into her head. "Draco?"

Draco looked up, Hermione never called him by his first name. "What?" He asked suspiciously.

"Look I know we are not best friends but we both need to get this work done and this office is not helping. I was thinking...maybe we could go to my place? We can eat and finish the work there. I have more space and I think it will help." She explained.

Draco did not answer for a minute. He was a little surprised she even asked. "Fine." He finally answered, he needed to get out of the place just as badly as she did. "We can go to your place."

"Really? Well okay! Grab your stuff and we can go." Hermione put all the papers in her bag and stood near the door with her hand out for him to take.

Draco looked at her with an odd look. "Since when did we start holding hands Granger?"

She gave him a look of annoyance. "Do you know where I live?" she asked.

"No, why would I?" He asked.

"That's my point. So take my hand so I can take you with me."

Draco realized he has just made an ass of himself so with out anymore argument he grabbed her hand. Her hand was so warm and soft. Draco felt a small surge of heat run through his body. That was weird, he though. Within seconds the two were standing in a small living room. Hermione quickly pulled her hand away.

"This is your apartment?" He asked.

"Yes, and before you say anything mean. Don't. Lets just get to work." She told him sitting on the couch.

PRESENT TIME

"Yes well that was then." she has a hint of anger in her voice. "Look Draco, I have some place to be so if you could just go, that would be good. We can meet about the case later.

"Do you have a date?" He asked.

"Yes, and if you don't mind, I do not want you here when he gets here." She was starting to get more angry and annoyed.

"When who gets here?" A voice said from behind Draco.

Draco turned and saw a man standing behind him. "Oh Sean! Hello!" Hermione said a little shocked and happy. The butterflies had made there way to her stomach.

Sean walked up and joined Draco at the door. "You look beautiful." He said giving her a big smile.

"Thank you." Hermione responded as he cheeks warmed a little and not in anger for once.

Sean looked over at Draco and put his hand out. "Hi, I'm Sean."

Draco shook his hand. "Draco." He told him.

Hermione looked from Sean to Draco and back. "Yes well we better get going. Draco I will see you tomorrow, just make an appointment with Kacey."

"Fine. Have a wonderful time on your date." He said sarcastically as he walked away.
