AN: Here's the next chapter, I hope you like it. Thanks for the reviews, they mean a lot.

Landon drove to Jamie's office, hoping she's there because he has no idea where she lives.

After he walked in to the building and found out what floor her office was on, Jamie is one of the partners, he got on the elevator.

On the elevator, he thought of what he was going to say. Landon stepped out of the elevator and knocked on the office door that was closed.

" Come in." Jamie yelled through the door after she heard the knock.

Landon walked through the door and saw Jamie sitting behind her desk in her body lined jacket with pointed collar, padded shoulders, button front, two flap pockets over a simple yet supplicated V neck black dress suit.

At that moment Landon was shocked on how beautiful she looks, he forgot where he was.

" I'm guessing by the look on your face, you remember." Jamie said, bringing Landon back to reality.

" Yeah, I remember who you are. I came to say I'm sorry." Landon explained as he sat in a chair in front of Jamie's desk.


" Your sorry? How come I feel your only saying that because you need me to win your case." Jamie said as she leaned forward and rested her arms on the ledge of her desk.

At that moment Landon realized that this isn't the same shy, small town girl he use to make fun of but a young, sharp, sophisticated, beautiful woman.

" Your right, I need you. But I am truly sorry and I need you to know that. I took out a lot of anger I had on you and I shouldn't have. I'm a different person now and if I could do it over, I would change a lot of things including what I did to you." Landon explained, he meant every word.

" That is such bull." Jamie bluntly said.

" I meant every word. What do I have to do to get you to forgive me and believe what I said?" Landon asked out of fruition.

" You want to forgive you? Ok. There's something I need you to do for me." Jamie explained.

" What ever you want." Landon said.

" There's a annual ball the firm hosts, its tonight. Every year I go alone and I'm tired of it. Since I'm all ways so busy, I don't have the time to find a date so, I want you to go as my date. We're not suppose to date clients so if anyone asks, we're discussing your case farther. So what do you say?" Jamie asked.

" You'll forgive me?" Landon asked.

" Yes I'll forgive you, for now." Jamie said.

" Ok. I'll be your date. What time do you want me to pick you up?" Landon asked with a smile, he's glad he can help Jamie.

" 8. Here's my address, don't be late." Jamie explained after she handed Landon a piece of folded paper.

" I won't be." Landon said before he left.

After Landon left. Jamie stood from her leather office chair and decided to look at the view from her 68th story window, she could see most of the city.

Then she turned around and looked at her office, it's more home then an office. Jamie spends more time in her office then in her home.

Jamie focused every minute of her life since her father died, in becoming one of the best lawyers and she has. Jamie is one of the best there is in Seattle.

Jamie took a walk around her office. The dark cherry desk, the urn collection bronze finished metal bases table lamp that sits in the corner of the desk.

Then her eye caught the sturdy solid wood frames and legs finished in a rich dark brown leather chairs, which minutes ago is where Landon was sitting.

The sand color walls, then the only personal thing in the whole office, a picture of Jamie and her father together. Its one of the last times they were together.

Since her fathers death. Jamie's closed her heart and soul. She's never been in love or anything close to it and she's ok with that. Except when she sits alone at night, feeling so lonely, she cries her self to sleep.

After Jamie put the picture back down on her desk. She grabbed her keys and purse, then drove home to get ready for tonight.

Jamie entered her apartment and went straight to her room, which is pretty simple since she's never home.

There's a queen size bed with a golden oak headboard with matching nightstands. In the right corner of the room was a mahogany keyboard stand with a ivory satin strip upholstery storage bench. On top of the stand was a Yamaha electronic portable grand PSR-160 keyboard.

And on the left side was a full length body mirror with a seven drawer oak dresser and on top of the dresser was her make-up and other essentials.

Jamie took a quick shower then applied some light make-up. Then she put her hair in a bun with loose strands falling free. After she was done with make-up and hair, it was time for the dress.

Jamie put on a red lace tulip dress, it has a scoop neckline and bell sleeves, enclosed in the graceful flare of its high low tulip hem. Then she finished off with a pair of red satin evening shoe with a rhinestone buckle above a 2 1/8 covered heel.

When Jamie was done getting ready she sat on the edge of the bed for maybe a minute before she heard a knock on the front door.

When she opened the door, there was Landon in a full black and white tux with bowtie and all.

" Right on time, come in." Jamie said after she looked Landon up and down, she was impressed.

" You look beautiful." Landon said after he entered the living room.

" Thanks. You clean up nice too." Jamie said as she closed the door.

" So what's this going to be like? What should I expect?" Landon asked.

" Expect the most boring night of your life." Jamie answered.

" If it's so boring, why do you go?" Landon asked.

" It gives me some thing to do, I guess. I have to at least show up for a minute, I am one of the partners." Jamie explained.

" Well, we should get going. Shall we?" Landon asked as he held out his hand after he opened the door.

" We shall." Jamie said as she placed her hand in his. Then Landon escorted her to his car.
