You waited for Aomine at the table you sat in the so called The Brunch for his casual interview today. He sent you the address late at night. You gave him multiple texts saying that you were here and you've been waiting for him for 30 minutes. Finally you noticed someone in a blue dress shirt and trousers walking towards you. It was Aomine alright, because the moment he looked up, he saw you and smirked.
You looked at him while he sat down in front of you, "You're late."
"Hello to you too." Aomine said while the waitress gave him his menu.
You looked down at the menu and read some dishes. You mentally decided you were getting an eggs benedict. You looked across at Aomine's figure. His broad shoulders was hard to resist. He looked really cute while he concentrated. His eyes brows furrowed and his navy blue eyes scanned the pages. His lips were almost in a pouting position. You just wanted to-
"Are you two ready to order?" The waitress stopped your train of thoughts.
You coughed and looked away to the waitress. Aomine caught you staring, you saw him smirking. "Uh, yeah." You looked across to him, "You ready?"
He laughed then cross his big arms over his firm torso, "Ready."
"Okay," You looked at the waitress and smiled, "I'll have the eggs benedict."
"I'll get the same." Aomine said. You looked at him and stared. His smirk deepened.
"Alright," The waitress wrote it down on her notepad, "So, this restaurant has an offer for couples only."
"Oh!" You interrupted, "We're not a couple so it doesn't' really ma-"
"No no, please continue." Aomine said.
You were going to kill that guy.
"As I was saying, we have a couple's brunch offer that contains a lot of nice sets of different breakfasts for a lower price." She said, "It's quite big so it will be enough for you two to share, and since you two are getting the same thing, why not get the deal to save some money?"
"That sounds wonderful." Aomine smiled.
"It really-"
"Is a great offer." Aomine finished your sentence. You crimpled a tiny piece of paper next to you.
"Okay then," The waitress said, "So, a couple's offer of Eggs Benedict?"
Aomine nodded.
The waitress left.
"What the hell, Aomine!" You cried, "We're not even on a date! We're here for a-"
"Casual interview." Aomine said, "In my book, that's a date."
"Well it isn't for me!" You shouted, "Besides, we're not even a couple."
"It was a good deal!"
"Can we just start the interview?!" You almost lost it.
Aomine noticed and leaned back on his chair, "Alright," He said, "Shoot."
"So uhm, my boss gave me these questions so don't think I made them up." You warned him.
"Hm, then it must be interesting."
"Everyone wants to know about your love life, describe it." You read off the document.
Aomine's eyes widened, "What kind of questions are these."
"My boss'. Now answer it."
"Hm," Aomine started "Well, I never really had a love in my life before. Except for my mom." You laughed, "But then, around a week ago, I met this girl." You started writing, "Her personality is tough, she's hard to get around to but I know she has a good heart. She's very successful in her career and all which is great but honestly, I think she's the most beautiful person I've ever seen." Aomine finished, "Yeah, those green and blue eyes with determination."
You stopped writing and looked up at him, wait. was he talking about you? You couldn't believe it. You put your pen down and stared at his serious navy blue eyes, "Aomine." You started to say, then smiled, "It's turquoise."
"Right." Aomine leaned a little closer, "Turquoise."
There was a long pause. You both just stared at each other with out even blinking. Both of you knew who you were talking about. Both of you knew something was up, but you just wouldn't admit it. It was because you were scared. Scared of losing your job, scared of getting fired. You loved your job but losing it would be the death of you.
"Here is your couple's Eggs Benedict." The waitress interrupted with a plate, "Enjoy your date!"
Your interview with Aomine ended up around 3 in the afternoon. You were set for early brunch but ended up talking until late lunch. Aomine was nice enough to pay for you two. You walked out of the restaurant with Aomine following behind you. It was sunny so you put your sunglasses on, Aomine did the same.
"Since this is a date, why don't I take you somewhere?" Aomine suggested.
"How many times!" You said, "It's a freaking interview!"
"That we just finished." Aomine said. You two stood on the sidewalk with out blocking anyone. It was very sunny. "We aren't going to do anything so why not hang a little longer?"
"I've gotta go..."
"Where?"
"Back to the office." You smiled a little then your lips twitched.
"Liar."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"What? How am I a liar?" You said a little while your lips twitched again.
Aomine touched the side of your lips where it twitched, "There."
You touched the side of your lips and groaned, "Fine."
"Hah!" Aomine said triumphantly, "Let's go walk along the river!"
You hesitated. You didn't want to get caught again, what were you suppose to do? You couldn't be in public with him or else the cameras might catch you, "Hey uhm, Aomine?"
Aomine looked back at you, "Yeah babe?"
"Why don't we..." You were going to regret this, "Why don't we come to my apartment? I feel kind of tired."
Aomine's lips curved into a smile, "Wow babe, inviting me over on our first date?"
"It's not a date."
"Heh," Aomine called a cab, "Yeah, let's do it."
"Nice place!" Aomine said while he walked into your apartment, he saw the sofa and put his whole body on it, "Ah, this sofa is so nice. If you don't entertain me I think I'm going to fall asleep."
You rolled your eyes while you put your keys down, "Be my guest." You walked over to your kitchen and grabbed to cups for some green tea. You heard the T.V turn on and a yawn. You still couldn't believe that you brought that big ego ass home, well you didn't have choice, right?
You walked over and gave Aomine a cup of green tea. You sat down on the other chair and looked at the T.V screen. A basketball game was on. "Hey, Chloe." You looked over at Aomine. "You seemed a little odd in the restaurant." You flinched.
"What?"
"You seemed like you were looking for someone. Your eyes always looked around." Aomine shrugged and sat up, "You looked kind of cautious."
"Haha, well, I'm always cautious."
"Nah, not like that." Aomine sat up and patted on the empty side of the sofa. You walked over and sat down next to him, "What happened yesterday."
"Nothing." You said innocently.
"Hah? You said something was up yesterday but didn't talk to me about it," Aomine said, "Is it about me?"
"Why are you interested?" You asked, "It's none of your concern."
"So it is about me." Aomine stared at you, "Spill."
"Ugh!" You groaned in frustration, "Fine!" You put your cup of tea down, "Okay, so yesterday my boss called me in and threw this magazine at my face. And there I see you and I kissing!" You said, "In the front cover of that sports magazine."
"Ah, I saw that too." He seemed happy, "My team mates showed me."
"It's nothing to joke around about." You said, "He threatened me, he said if he sees this again with you and I, he would replace me for my secretary!"
"Wow, that's some nasty shit."
"It is! But then he said he was going to do it right away but then decided to give me a second chance."
"Isn't that good?"
"It is! But it's the project, with the interviews of the panthers', meaning that you'll be there." You sighed, "If I mess this up because of this... then I'm going to be done for."
"Then fire that bitch." Aomine bluntly said.
"I can't. My boss and Chantel already made a deal."
"Wow, that's seriously nasty."
You sighed again, "It is." You looked away, "I really don't know what to do."
"Just do what you came here for. Just do the interviews and documentary." Aomine said, "Or..." He smirked, "Am I getting in your way?"
"Of course you are!" You said, "Look where you are!"
"Heh, this has so far been a very nice date."
You slapped his big arm, he didn't flinch at all.
"Hey," Aomine said, "Give me a piece of paper and some crayons."
"What? You think I'm some kind of little kid?"
"Oi! I'm doing the little kid things here! Just give me the materials to do it!"
You laughed and looked around your area, "I don't know if I have crayons those."
"Just find them." You heard Aomine laugh.
You went into your desk and found a piece of paper. You looked into your stationary stash to find something. In your surprise, you found a blue and red crayon. You laughed, "I found some god damn crayons!" You shouted back at Aomine. You heard something along the lines of sweet.
You ran back and gave him the crayons, "Yeah, babe." He said, "This is what I'm talking about."
You laughed and sat down next to him while he started to draw. He drew a few streaks but he wouldn't show you what he was doing. A few seconds later he held out his hand to you, "Give me your hand." Aomine said. You hesitated. The last time you held hands was when he kissed you. Even though you loved the sensation, you didn't want it to happen whether you liked it or not. "Come on Chloe, I don't bite." Aomine was getting impatient. You enveloped your hand with his. You saw Aomine smile at you. He brought your hand down to the paper and he started to outline your small hand with the red crayon.
"What are you doing." You asked curiously.
"Just wait." Aomine whispered.
He held your hand for a moment longer. You felt the heat between both of your hands get warmer and warmer. The more he held your head, the more you started to feel the burning sensation in your face. Wow, blushing when he holds your hands? Great. He then let go and placed the crayon on the coffee table. You leaned closer to him to see what he drew.
"Here," Aomine said and held the paper up, it was a drawing of both of your hands. Aomine's hand were outlined in blue and inside his hand was yours, in red. "This is for you." He gave the paper to you. You smiled and took it, "It's just a way of me saying that I'll protect you, and will try to help you, in anyway possible..." He said softly but you heard it loud and clear.
"Aomine..." You couldn't believe he just said!
"Chloe, I've never seen such a strong girl in my entire life," He said, "I know, you're scared of your job now and all that but you know what? Fuck 'em!" Aomine laughed, "Just because they've got us kissing on the front page of a magazine doesn't mean they could destroy you." You joined in the laughing.
"Hey, Aomine?" You looked at him, "This is really sweet. Thank you..."
