I'm back, no this was not on hiatus I just am working the swing shift at work and I'm also going to school part time so I only have one day to myself the whole summer. ( don't grow up kids...). On with the chapter.

The second half of the meeting went without incident, Erwin Smith had a presentation about company policy that was flawless in every way Andrea almost felt bad about day dreaming through the whole shot up when she heard Erwin thanking everyone signalling that the meeting was over, pretending that she didn't see Levi giving her the hairy eyeball for being the first to leave. While waiting outside for Levi to finish talking to Erwin she noticed that some of the other company representative's were thanking their assistants for their help. She than felt a tap on her shoulder and noticed Levi giving her a cruel smile "why would I thank you for doing your job?". She rolled her eye's "whatever I was going to ask if you wanted to meet up with everyone at the Italian restaurant I heard that they preserved a few tables". His expression at her comment seemed like he wasn't expecting an invitation from her, " I just invited him out to dinner I wasn't like I asked him out we'll be surrounded by other people". Levi straighten himself out trying to look more professional, " Are you going to out do your ketchup incident and walk around with a meat ball in your hair?".

" How else am I going to save it for later?" She saw a flash of a quick smile on Levi's face, his actual smile! But then his face went flat. " Actually I was going back to my hotel room and was going to turn in early, you should do the same, the plane leaves early tomorrow."

As they both made their way down Krista gave them both a cheerful goodbye and told Andrea not to worry about the shirt, it took all of Andrea's strength not to throw punch her.

Their trip back was strangely silent Andrea kept noticing that Levi would occasionally look in her direction like he wanted to say something. They arrived at the terminal in the late afternoon some of the staff went back to the office to work off the rest of the day. Andrea managed to whine her way out of it, Levi agreed as long as she came in at 5 am the next day. She figured that since she had the day to herself she should pay Petra and her new baby a visit she meant to do so earlier but never found the opportunity she saw pictures of her already online but she had yet to meet her in person.

Later,

Andrea held the little baby close to her, she never felt comfortable around little kids, she still didn't know why she agreed to be her god mother. Little Trina began to fuss Petra immediately took her away from Andrea.

" Its nice that you found time to pay us a visit."

Petra walked over and placed her baby in her crib. Andrea couldn't help but feel a little jealous towards her friend here she was happily married and starting a family while she was living alone, being overworked, a still lamenting the death of her spider plant. She snapped out of her self pity when she heard Petra clear her throat apparently she asked her a question.

" This Saturday night are you doing anything?"

Andrea bristled she knew the beginning of a setup when she heard one , " Just an old friend of mine , I think you 2 work well together". Andrea leaned against the wall and crossed her arms. " Its Levi isn't it?". Andrea started having flash backs, their first meeting was a complete disaster.

P=" You didn't know he was going to be your future boss"

A= " You knew though, and you still set me up with him, I spent 2 weeks in fear thinking he was going to fire me".

Petra crossed her arm's and huffed " He didn't though" . Suddenly Trina began to fuss apparently she was woken up by their bickering , Petra went over and soothed her. Andrea was still fuming, memory's from that passed incident playing in her mind.

* * * * flashback * * * *

Andrea stood in front of the restaurant, she decided to go with her light blue cocktail-dress, her hair was worn up not because she wanted a change, she was done fighting with her hair. She only agreed to this date to get Petra off her case she was told that her date was an old friend of hers that just moved to the city for work. Her only indications for who he was that she would know him when she saw him.

" Miss Hill?"

She was shaken out her stupor when the hostess called her name. " Their is someone waiting for you he is sitting in one of the large booths in the back". She made her way to the back of the restaurant and saw a large booth in the back of the restaurant the booth was round in shape so she couldn't really see a clear view of her date.

He suddenly stepped out what caught Andrea off guard was the look on his face that said " I'd rather be anywhere but here right now" that and his was eye level with her boobs.

" You must be miss Hill?"

His voice was surprisingly deep she wasn't expecting him to sound like a Muppet but she could tell that he was quite a bit older than her.

Levi's P.O.V.

My first impression of her was " slacker" she was 10 minutes late and was yet to offer me any excuse. Other than that she was wearing a light blue dress that seemed to compliment her, she wore her hair up if she was wearing it down it would probably been a mess of curls. She obviously must have been older than she looked but to me she looked like a brat. I also couldn't help but notice that her eye's where watching mine probably trying to see if I was staring at her chest, too bad for her I'm an " ass-man".

We both awkwardly sat down and looked at our menu's trying not to start a conversation with each other. Miss Hill cleared her throat.

" I guess Petra already told you a little about me... I work at the front desk administration at Titan banking I worked part time through high school and became full time when I graduated".

I nodded letting her know that I heard what she was saying but to me working years at the same job and not managing to climb the ranks told me that she had no ambition. I noticed that she was looking at me expecting me to say a little about myself.

" I have a master's in business and economics I recently moved here for my job they'll have me managing the company they need to be fixed from the inside out".

Andrea seemed like she was digesting what I just said,

" So you'll be firing some asses",

I couldn't help but smile at her blunt way of seeing things,

" In lament's terms yes"

Eventually we ordered our meals and waited for the waitress to bring our orders. I ordered the Ahi Tuna Miss. Hill also ordered what I had because she told me she never heard of it.

Andrea's P.O.V.

When I saw our meals coming I noticed that the fish was served raw the outside was seared but the rest of it was raw. This was going to be a problem. I noticed that Levi made a point of wiping down his cutlery before starting his meal. I needed to work up my courage to take the first bite it was still slightly cold in the center I was going to have to power through it I was raised not to waste food, but the texture alone made me want to vomit.

Levi's P.O.V.

She was inhaling her meal I didn't know she'd like it that much. After a couple minutes of finishing our meals ( some of us faster than others...) I noticed for the first time tonight she had a serious expression on her face and it was followed by a foreboding silence. She than shot out of the booth and in her hurry collided with one of the waitresses causing her to drop her plates . In her idiotic panic she ran into the men's washroom I knew she didn't make it from the chorus of men's screams coming from the washroom.

Andrea's P.O.V.

When I was finished I looked up and saw panicked men's faces as they huddled in the corner probably trying to avoid the vomit. I felt like crap I think some fish went through my nose.

" Tch, my first impression of you was wrong you aren't a slacker, your actually a full blown CLAUSTERFUCK!".

Levi was standing near the entrance of the bathroom with the both of his arms crossed sneering down at me. I don't think their will be a second date.

End,

I'm done managed to squeeze a chapter out I'll probably be updating more often when September rolls around. Personally I love raw fish, and don't we all have a bad food experience story. ( mine was pasta) . Thank you for reading and review , well if you want too...
