I couldn't believe it. I was actually nervous as I walked up to her door. Would she forgive my bad manners? Why did it matter so much? I stood there, waiting outside her door. I could hear her moving behind it, her scent drifting out as enticing as it had been at the party. When she opened the door I must admit I was delighted in the surprise and instant attraction I could see in her eyes, especially since she almost knocked me out in that little outfit. A few second went by and she said nothing so finally I took matter in my own hands.

"How about letting a man in, babe?" I asked, slightly amused that she was speechless. She stepped aside and allowed me in. As I walked by I couldn't help but allow myself the pleasure of watching her beautiful body, barely covered in a tight tank top and girly boxers. When she blushed I could barely contain myself. She looked just as enticing as last I'd seen her and every bit as delicious. When she mumbled something about getting dressed and quickly disappeared into what I assume was her bedroom I couldn't help but tease her a little.

"No need on my account, doll" I said to her and could sense through the door the flush of blood moving through her. I smiled; it was nice that I had that affect on her seeing as how she had an astonishing effect on my own blood pressure. Well, she would have had I actually had a blood pressure to speak of. When she opened the door after having put on sweat pants I was a little disappointed at being deprived the view of her legs but I shrugged it off. She was still beautiful and very natural.

"This is for you", I said holding out the box of chocolate I'd brought. She simply stared at it. I started to feel a little uncomfortable.

"You alright? You seem kind of spacy", I said, wondering if something was wrong or, horror, maybe she really didn't want me there. When she blushed again I couldn't help but smile. It was refreshing to see a woman who could still blush. The fact that it made her look even more beautiful was only a perk.

"That colour looks good on you, babe" I said with a smile before turning around and walking across her apartment to the couch where I took a seat. I needed to sit for a while. She followed me with her eyes as I walked and I could almost feel my skin tingling from it. When I sat down and turned to her she was still standing where she'd been, holding the box in her hands as if she'd forgotten it was there. I raised an eyebrow and shot her a questioning look. I watched as she looked down at the box and opened the card. Her eyes met mine, surprise evident in them and I smiled. Good, I wasn't the only one out of form here.

"I hear women adore chocolate" I said, smiling at when she opened the box of chocolate.

"You?" her voice sounded strange as she finally spoke. Not the melodious voice I remembered from the party. I continued to smile, not knowing what else to do but I definitely felt uncomfortable now. This was definitely not going the way I had planned and hoped it would. When she shook her head I could feel myself go tense. Had I miscalculated this? Was it not enough? She took a seat in the chair opposite where I sat. I kept the smile turned on but my mind was racing.

"You sent me all this?" she asked. She was eyeing me and not exactly in a good way which made me even more uncomfortable. I nodded as a reply, not trusting my voice at the moment which was very unlike me.

"But… why?" she asked, looking genuinely confused. She looked very cute when she was confused.

"My apology for my manners when we last met" I said, trying for polite. When she smiled I relaxed a little.

"No need to apologise, you did that when you helped me get home", she said. I couldn't help but give her another smile. So she'd understood that the ride home was meant as an apology. I heard her heart rate change and it made me warm inside that I could cause that kind of change in her with something as simple as a smile.

"Besides, isn't it a bit overkill? I mean… what do you do to apologise when you've done something really bad if this is what you do for something like this?" she asked, winking at me.

"Let us hope you never have to find out, babe" I replied, winking back at her. When she leaned back in her chair and smiled at me I could feel my pants get tighter which was not good.

"Well, thank you anyway. I love my flowers", as soon as she said it I relaxed a little more. I hadn't even realised I was that tense.

"You are most welcome, doll" I said with a half smile. Then I had to get up. I needed to get back in the game so it was time to turn this up a notch.

"Now, why don't you get yourself ready and I'll take you out on the town?" I said, holding out a hand to her. Sure, I wanted to be polite but I also wanted the pleasure of touching her skin, feeling its warmth against my own.

"What?" she asked, looking slightly confused again. I couldn't help but sigh; she just wouldn't react the way I expected of her. That was a good thing, kept me on my toes but it was also annoying me.

"Would you like to join me out on the town? I was thinking nice restaurant, maybe a nightclub" I asked more politely, hoping that would have the desired effect. She just stared at me. Definitely not the effect I was going for. I started to pull my hand back, feeling slightly embarrassed and not at all like myself, when she suddenly grabbed. Thank the lord.

"Give me a while to get changed, ok?" she said as I helped her up.

"Sure thing, babe" I smiled at her and felt myself relax again. She really had a knack for getting me tense without even trying.

"20 minutes enough? I've got reservations" I said, trying for a bit of my usual confidence. I sat back down and leaned back on the couch. I watched as she rushed in to her bedroom, listening to her muttering about arrogant assholes and couldn't help but chuckle a little. When she came back she had on a beautiful blue dress that complimented her hair and eyes very well. It was modest, almost demure compared to the dress she'd worn at the party. For the first time in I couldn't tell you how long, I found the hint of skin and the way it just brushed her curves very sexy.

"Beautiful, babe" I said and stood up. For a change not feeling the need for quips or snarky comments. I held out my arm to her and was thrilled to see her smile as she took it. She allowed me to lead me out of her apartment and as I stood there, watching her lock her door I smiled. I had plans for the night and I definitely hoped she would comply. If things went the way I had planned I would be allowed to see exactly what she was hiding underneath that dress before the night was over.
