Katara's POV

"Okay class that's all for today. Don't forget to write your papers, they are due in a week," the class began to pack away and leave the classroom. I stretched my hands above my head in an attempt to crack my back. Not that it worked, I sighed and carefully placed my books back into my bag and took my phone out. I pressed the home button and saw Azula's name under messages.

I clicked into our chat and read the message as I left the building. Hey 'Tara is your class done? Im heading to Starbucks now.

I opened my car and threw my backpack into the back and grabbing my purse. Yeah just dropped my bag in my car, I'll be there in 5. Luckily for college students, Starbucks was just across the street from campus. Making it a very convenient place to meet up. From what I knew this one was one of the biggest in the world. It had two floors and was always open. I pressed the button to the cross walk, waiting for the man to turn green. When he did I looked both ways before proceeding across and down the street to Starbucks. I opened the door and looked around the first floor for Azula. When I didn't see her I went to my phone. You on the second floor?

Not even a second later she replied. Yeah Im by the window, you getting something to eat?

Yeah, give me a second.

I put my phone in the back pocket of my jeans and got in line. When it was finally my turn I got a caramel espresso and a cranberry scone. These things were going to be the death of me. After waiting a good five or six minutes I grabbed my stuff and headed upstairs. The upstairs was just a lounge with beautiful white plush seats. I scanned around the window seats and noticed Azula sitting in the corner waving at me. I smiled and headed over. I placed my food on the table and my bag on the floor before greeting her. "Hey Zula" she took a piece out of my scone.

"Hey 'Tara, I have some good news for you!" I took a sip out of my espresso.

"Really?" She nodded before going for the paper in my bag. "Yeah but first I want to make sure you did the odds." I laughed as she scanned my paper. "You did all of it? I thought you were only doing odds?!" I shrugged eating a piece of scone. It was so warm that it melted in my mouth.

"Well I figured since we have a test coming up I would do all of it, that way you could check your work and copy my answers." Azula had never been good at Calculus, however she was amazing at Economics and our language classes. I on the other hand excelled in our accounting and math courses.

"Hm I guess that makes sense. You okay with just watching me work and tell you the news?" I nodded taking another sip on my drink. I pulled back abruptly, I had been too eager and burnt my tongue. Damnit.

"Well I think I found you that office job you wanted." I leaned forward smiling widely.

"Really! OH AZULA THANK YOU!" She laughed.

"Don't thank me yet! You don't even know what it is!" I smiled at her.

"But it's an office job right!?" She nodded and I squealed. I had been waiting for one to open up.

"It's…a secretarial position…for my brother." I frowned.

"Azula. You know what I said about working for your family." She held up a hand

"Katara you are a capable bright young woman who just turned 21, I think you understand that I just recommended you. They want you to accept the position, have an interview, and take a drug test. Even if you go in it's up to my brother and his co-director to give you the job." I sat back and ate my scone silently. Working for Azulon Corp was a very sought out occupation by people in this area. Azula's father had been the director of the million dollar corporation until about a year and a half ago his son, Zuko Azulon had taken over. A 23 year old bachelor who was apparently even better than his father. I smiled at the conversation I had had with Mr. Azulon not to long after. Azula must have known what I was thinking.

"I told my brother about that by the way." I blushed.

"Great now he's going to think I look up to him or something." Azula smiled.

"On the contrary he thought you were making fun of him at first." I looked down at the paper and saw her answers.

"That one is wrong. It should be 14. And what do you mean?" Azula muttered under her breath before correcting her answer.

"Well, my brother has this rule…" I nodded. I knew about the rule. That was all the women talked about lately.

"He doesn't date employee's, I know. What does that have to do with me?" Azula finished the last problem and handed me back my paper.

"Yeah he was worried you were going to fall for him, so I told him what you said the other week about Jet 'I will never fall for a man that can't prove himself to be more capable than I am'. He took that as you saying you were better than him. Don't worry I corrected him. I said it was more like you considered him your equal." I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Well that's good I guess." Azula took out her phone.

"Does that mean you will go for the interview?" I sighed, even if it was for Azula's brother I didn't like the idea. However I had to get out of the restaurant.

"Yeah I don't see why not. Just promise me you won't try and pull any strings." Azula waved her hand like she was dismissing the thought.

"Don't worry, dear old Zuzu would never let me do that." I chuckled at the nickname. Azula typed out something and I took another drink of my espresso.

"Okay I've told Toph, she's his co-director. She already ran a background check on you last night." I nodded and finished off my scone. A ring came from her phone and she smiled. "Looks like your interview is at 12 tomorrow. Is that okay?" Tomorrow was Friday and the college was closed.

"Yeah that's perfect. I'll ask my parents for the day off. Can you send me the address and time in a text so I have it?" Azula quickly typed it out to me and I received it a couple of seconds after. I saved it to my notes and closed my phone. "Thanks 'Zula." We grabbed our bags and headed back to the college for our Calculus class.

I sent a text to my mum about my interview.

Hey mum, Azula got me an interview tomorrow at 12pm. Can I take the day off?

I shut my phone and pressed the button for the light. My mum had agreed, but I had to work tonight in return. Azula and I talked about random things until we got to class and took our seats. "So your brother…"

"What about him?" I took my books out and grabbed my purple pen.

"Why does he have the no dating employees rule? Not that I'm interested but, I figured that rule must have been made due to something happening before." Azula silenced her phone and took her red binder and pen out. Dating the paper before whispering to me.

"Well, I don't like to share this information either. But when my dad was younger, Zuko and I were too young to understand but my dad had an affair. Didn't last long since our mum found out the very next day. She almost divorced him but everyone knows my dad would be an idiot for letting her go." I gasped before covering my mouth. Everyone looked over to us and I waved awkwardly to note it was nothing.

"Oh my god 'Zula, I'm so sorry…I…I feel terrible for asking." Azula giggled, Im not going to lie but it surprised me.

"Don't be, if anything my Dad found out he was in love with my mother and has vowed to never betray her again. They are so loving to each other now I highly doubt it will happen again." I smiled, at least they got through it. Our professor came into the class and announced that we would be watching a video and to take notes. "On the other hand, Zuzu was really upset and swore that he would never cheat on a girl he loved, and to never date an employee. So the rule stands." I nodded.

Our teacher gave us a look and we decided to stick to writing notes instead of talking. Class ended after an hour and fifteen minutes so we decided to go home. I promised Azula that I would text her once I got there.

Zuko's POV

My head was pounding. I knew the party was special and my father urged me to go but why of all people did he make me come with Mai. We had known each other solely from these types of gatherings. Her mother owned a fashion line that had recently become international. She was a quiet girl, didn't say much. Very polite and didn't let anything bother her. To be completely honest, she was a fucking rock. I tried to be a gentleman around her but she never once smiled. So I gave up.

Tonight she wore a sleeveless ruby red dress that fell to the floor. Her hair tied up neatly into a bun with braids and light red gloss upon her lips. Mai was beautiful, but I just didn't feel anything for her. I ran a hand through my hair, tonight was going to be long.

"I'll go get us some drinks" Mai just nodded and I quickly walked away.

"Zuko!" I looked over my shoulder to my mother who was in a black cocktail dress with pearls along the collar.

"Hey you look beautiful." She grabbed my arm smiling.

"Oh you! You look very dashing yourself. Trying to impress Ms. Mai?" I sighed grabbing two champagnes off of the tray. My mother and father have been trying to set Mai and I up since we turned 16. Regardless of what either of us wanted.

"Mother, I'm not going to marry her. I know father thinks it's best for the company, but I don't love her." And she obviously doesn't love me. She rubbed my back guiding me towards Mai, who was waiting patiently.

"I know Zuko, I've tried asking him but he seems to want it until you do find someone. Your already 23, we don't want you to remain an unmarried bachelor much longer. I wish you could find someone soon." I do too. I always saw women as calculating and confusing beings, but as I grew older I wanted to have a relationship just like anyone else. It was just so hard to find that girl. I handed Mai her drink and she took a sip. Sneaking a peak at someone to her left. My gaze followed to a man wearing a blue waiters uniform.

Blue? That was unusual. Everything was either red, gold, silver, or black at my father's parties. Who had he hired that wore blue?

I looked around noticing quite a few people wearing blue, all with trays in their hands with an assortment of drinks and party favors. I focused on one girl who had her hair braided and was almost dancing around people. She was very athletic, almost like she was in gymnastics. She bended, twirled, and twisted her way around people with drinks in both hands. She stopped abruptly to speak with another girl who had chocolate skin and long wavy brown hair.

From behind she had a nice figure. I tried to get a look at her face but someone either stepped into my line of view or she would turn in the opposite direction. A man of the same color grabbed her arm. He wasn't much older than her, must be a brother. Or a very young looking father. She started to turn my way but Azula stepped out in front of me.

"Hey Zuzu! Good news!" I looked at the girl once more before looking to her.

"Mmm I'm in the middle of something. What is it?" Azula smiled and looked behind her following my gaze.

"Ahhh…well I thought I would let you know that Katara will be in your office for an interview at 12pm tomorrow. Don't make her wait." I sighed giving up on seeing her face.

"Why would it be me making her late? Im punctual!" Azula twirled a strand of hair in between her fingers.

"Katara is never late, in fact she's always early. Around 10 minutes early in fact. Unless something has happened that she can't avoid. So don't make her wait those 10 minutes and be there before her." I tucked my hands in my pants pockets.

"Fine I'll be in my office at 11:45." Azula smirked.

"Good! Well then I think I'll go say hello to her now." I waved Azula off and turned my attention back to Mai and my mother who were chatting about their new line of clothing.

Wait.

I looked back to see where Azula had run off to. Sadly in a sea of red it was hopeless. I had the chance to meet Katara but messed it up. Once again her identity was a mystery. I looked back to my mother who appeared to be worried. "Zuko who are you looking for?" I shrugged.

"No one, I just noticed all the staff was wearing blue and wondered who they were."

"Oh, they are from that popular restaurant the Shining South. Your father went there the other night with some old friends and demanded that they catered this event." Well I guess that meant my assumption was correct. So Azula really hadn't teased me about Katara being here. "I see…mother have you ever met Katara?" Her eyes lit up in excitement.

"Katara! Yes, she's a lovely girl. Beautiful too. Have you never met her?" I shook my head.

"Ah, well you're missing out." I crossed my arms and sighed. Was she really that beautiful?

"Not for long, apparently she has an interview with me tomorrow for the secretarial position that just opened up." Mai raised her eyebrow but remained uninterested. Expressionless bitch, she still hadn't thanked me for the drink.

"Oh dear, what happened to Courtney?" I shrugged.

"She broke rule number one…" my mother just sighed and nodded in understanding.

"Well, if that's the case you might want to get rid of that rule." I looked to the side hoping to see that girl again.

"Why's that" my mother snickered.

"Because you will probably fall for Katara." I clenched the champagne in my hand.

"Not you too! Why do you guys suggest that!?" My mother looked amused as she pushed through towards a group of ladies that had just entered.

"Because she's so different that I think she will be your type Zuko, I'll make sure you don't see her at the party today. So enjoy your time with Mai okay?" I grunted before looking at Mai, she was still looking at the waiter. I sighed. It would be better to just talk to a couple of people and converse. My eyes kept wandering around to find the girl I had noticed earlier. Something about her made me curious as to what she looked like. Those soft curves in her body and warm skin made me think about indecent things.

Katara's POV

I walked out of the bathroom in the hotel we were catering for. I felt like I had been hit by a car I was so nervous. Not only was it the first time we had catered, but it was for Mr. Azulon's party. Nearly 100 guests were expected and we had to run all over the place. I walked up to the table where my tray of fire flakes was left.

"Tara I found you!" I looked over to Azula who was speed walking over to me. Her hair was down and her side bangs were pulled to the back. She wore a black skater dress and heals red as fire. She wore a gold belt and a matching gold necklace to add some class to the simple dress. "Hey Zula!" She grabbed my arm and pulled me behind a bush before looking out. "Wait what are we doing?!" She laughed at someone in the distance. I poked my head around but she pushed me back.

"No! You can't go out there yet he'll see you!" She turned back towards the person.

"Who will see me? Who can't I see?"

"My brother."

"Zuko? Why can't he see me?" Azula smiled triumphantly.

"Because I want it to be a surprise when he see's you tomorrow. Oh and by the way I hope you have something red." I balanced the tray on one hand and placed the other hand on my hip.

"Why is that?" Azula smirked.

"It's his favorite color. Even if he says it isn't everything in his office is accented red." I sighed pushing past Azula and back into the crowd. Surprise or not I had work to do.

"Im not wearing red just because it's his favorite color. I'll be wearing my grey and blue dress for my interview. Its professional." Azula sighed behind me grabbing a cup of fire flakes.

"Okay your choice. But seriously, Don't let him see you. I'll have people distract him." I politely gave some fire flakes to the business men who had gathered around. "Okay, okay I won't geeze, get off my back mum." We laughed and talked for a couple more minutes before she was dragged off by a young man.

I grabbed more fire flakes and continued my rounds. I saw many types of people but one guy stood out. He was tall, maybe a little taller than Sokka, dark brown hair and wide shoulders. Just from his back I could tell he was toned, obviously worked out. I blushed, what on earth was wrong with me. I just needed to finish this job and get ready for my interview tomorrow.

I didn't have time for fawning over men.

Ahahahahahah thats it for chapter two! Zuko was soooo close to seeing Katara but people just cant help meddling! Next chapter is the interview! Finally the two will meet, hur hur hur it will be exciting!
