He didn't want to disturb her sleep so he let her rest and put her food in his mini fridge. He covered her with his coat before sitting at his desk. He managed to get through most of his work by the time she started to wake.

Sarah fluttered her eyes from sleep and sat up stretching.

"Have a good nap?"

She flinched when she realized she was being watched. "God, you scared me. I forgot I was here with you." Then she yawned. "But yes, I had a good nap. Had to get up really early to make sure we would run into each other." She said with a wink. He chuckled at her and pointed to the fridge. "I saved your lunch for you. I bet you're starving."

She smiled and darted to the fridge. "Awesome. You are the best." She stretched each word while grabbing the bag. She opened it and devoured her meal in a blink of an eye, not caring whether it was dignified or not.

"So you are a healthy eater person, huh? The peaches this morning and for lunch chicken wraps and salads. Do you have something against cheeseburgers?"

He finished what he was writing before answering. "You mean besides the future heart attack? I like to take care of myself. That's the big secret you were asking for earlier."

"I see. So who was the woman from earlier?"

"She's my boss." He replied not looking up from his papers. Sarah drew her brows together as something crossed her mind.

"Is she your mom?" She asked. He paused and looked up at her, trying not to look so shocked. How in the bloody hell did she guess something like that? He wondered but Sarah saw through his cool tone anyway so he didn't bother hiding.

"She's my aunt. This is her business in the states and my mother runs its counter part back in England." He tried to make it sound like an unimportant fact but his nerve was completely shocked. Sarah gaped at him openly. "You mean that your family is super rich? Are you like an heir to the business throne or something?"

He lowered his head. "Why do you have to be so dramatic? In a way, I'm here to learn the business and work my way up. I get no special treatment here, if I screw something up, I will be replaced."

Sarah sneered at him. "You think I'm being over dramatic? You just told me that you're a billionaire!" David stood quickly and rushed to close the door. "Sarah please be quiet. No one knows who I am and I don't want them to find out. I don't need that kind of attention."

Sarah scoffed at him. "You're kidding right? No one knows? How did you pull that off?" She had many more questions to ask but he placed a hand on her shoulder to seat her back down.

"Let's just say that my mother thought I needed a change. I was a little spoiled back home and it started to affect my work."

"So basically you were being a brat and didn't do your homework. I bet you were out living the high life without a care in the world. Am I close?" Sneered Sarah. He glared at her, she always seemed to make him want to scream. "You could say that. My mother gave me an ultimatum. I either move to the branch in America and begin a new or I'm cut off. She always favored raising me with 'Tough Love' as she would say."

Sarah got up and paced the floor. "Oh my god! How arrogant can you be? You've taken your whole privileged life for granted and now you're pouting about 'Tough Love'? I should have known that you would never change. You will always be the spoiled Goblin king!"

With her outburst he shot up. This was the last straw for him and he couldn't hold back any longer. This woman had been a thorn in his side for far too long.

Now she was going to accuse him of arrogance! "That is enough, Sarah! How can you of all people accuse me of arrogance? You don't know me or my life. So back off! You are just this crazy woman who is stalking me and you think I'm going to listen to you? I asked you to not speak of your delusions in my office."

He had backed Sarah into a corner and she felt a strange sense of fear and a calm understanding all at once. She felt the adrenalin snake threw her veins but also a hint of something else. She shocked herself at how much she wanted to kiss him right then. He was a fine display of elegance and power, it was intoxicating to her and she couldn't stop herself in time. She had already lunged at him, kissing him deeply, her hands held his head in place as he struggled against her briefly before he quickly gave up and held her tight to his lips, his skilled tongue parting her lips with ease. He pushed her into the wall with a thud and she closed her eyes letting him take over. He kissed trails down her neck before stopping at one single point that made her gasp in pleasure. Then his mind kicked into over drive and he started to hike up her dress before something in him screamed at him to stop. He suddenly pushed himself away and sat on the couch with his face in his hands.

Sarah stood for a moment gasping and then slowly righted her dress and moved to sit beside him. His face was still buried in his hands and she put a hand on his shoulders. "I'm sorry." Was all she said and they sat in silence for a while.

"I apologize for my behavior Sarah. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that." He huffed while leaning back on the couch with eyes still closed. Sarah gave a small smile. "It's fine. I definitely deserved it, I shouldn't have said what I said. You are right, I don't know you. I keep thinking you are just like him, in a lot of ways you are but you are also a completely different person. But that's why I'm here, to get to know you. So, friends?" She asked with her most charming smile. He peeked at her through one eye and saw her pouting, he couldn't help but chuckle. "Yeah, friends." He looked at her with astonishment, she couldn't be mad for more than a minute, nothing seemed to faze her sunny outlook on life. He felt like a different person when he was around her. He didn't consider himself a hard man but he did have a strong outer shell, some might say he was a bit ruthless at times. He needed to show that side a lot in this cut throat world of business mergers. He got up from the couch and gathered his things into his briefcase. "I'm pretty much done for the day. You want to get out of here?"

She smiled and bounced off the couch. "Yes!"

They spent the rest of the afternoon walking around in the park, playing twenty questions about each other. So far they were evenly matched, complete opposites.

"So you did read the book!" She exclaimed with a smile. He looked away with embarrassment. "Yeah, I did and I still say that it is a little creepy. I mean the guy is practically robbing the cradle."

"Well, it's not about their age difference or him just winning for the sake of it. It's a coming of age story where she was forced to deal with growing up and taking responsibility for her actions. It's also not cradle robbing when he is immortal I'm sure he would have waited for her. Besides age is nothing when compared to true love, he couldn't help but fall for her." She explained it all to him with a practiced speech. He listened intently to her words, it all seemed so familiar to him but he pushed the thought away.

"If they are supposed to be you and I then why do you talk about it in the third person?"

Sarah took a deep breath. "Um, it's because I don't remember any of it. I only know what I read in the book and what my friend Hoggle told me. My memories faded when the Labyrinth started to crumble."

He looked at her confusingly. "Who's Higgle?"

Sarah burst out laughing. "It's Hoggle! He is the caretaker of the Labyrinth. You hated him for helping me and you used to threaten him a lot."

"Interesting. Still this Jareth character sounds like an ass the way he keeps messing up her quest and I'm suppose to believe that she's in love with him after all that. How can she even stand him?"

"You tell me. That's us in another life David." She said turning to look at him. He was going to scold her again for talking about this crazy delusion but she looked quite serious about her question. He sighed and went to sit on the nearest bench. "Sarah, please. Not this again, I don't want to discuss this any further. Let's just enjoy the day."

Sarah stared at him with piercing eyes, she wanted to start shouting at him but decided against it. She had made good progress, getting him to even talk about the book and she wasn't about to ruin that. Instead she sat by him and changed the subject. "So, David. What's being rich like? It must be great if you don't want your mother cutting you off that bad."

It was his turn to glare at her. "Why do you like to push my buttons? It's almost like you do it on purpose."

She shrugged and smiled. "You make it easy."

He huffed. "You didn't let me finish before you started biting my head off in the office. That ultimatum my mother gave me happened almost 15 years ago. I hated it at first but after a while I began to enjoy my life here, it was freeing not to have people trying to either sabotage my name or kiss up to the CEO's son. When she called by the end of that first year to tell me that I could go home, I was shocked. She told me that she had my aunt keep a close eye on me and was glad to hear that my attitude did a complete one-eighty. I told her that I was going to stay and keep my place in the business. She was stunned but she understood. I love the freedom I get here."

Sarah was almost in tears but she held them back. He was a completely different person from what she first thought of him. She took him by surprise with a hug. "You are one amazing guy, David." She held him tight for a full minute before letting him go. He just stared at her unmoving and she became confused. "What, I'm not allowed to give you a hug?" She asked.

"Sarah, you are the strangest person I've ever met. You showed up on my door step out of the blue, telling me I'm the fictional character from your book and you want me to go back with you. Then you stalked me and forced me to take you with me to my place of work. You practically bite my head off after finding out that I'm well off, when most people would kiss my ass for being rich. Now you hug me for telling you that I gave up my life of privilege. You are so backwards and... and..." He suddenly went to kiss her soft full lips, her hand cupped the side of his face. It lasted until they were breathless and lips swollen. He held her hand tight to his chest as he soaked in her beauty. Her bright olive-green eyes were glistening and her dark hair shinned in the light.

"Wow, I felt that in my bones." She said like a joke but she meant it. Her heart was pounding and she could feel his beat wildly in his chest.

"How easy was it for you to turn my world upside down in one day?"

Sarah laughed under her breath. "Easy. I've done it before."
