ANNA 'S POV.

-I woke up in the morning by the alarm of my phone, i washed my face and changed my clothes, i get down to have breakfast, and there i see my aunt cooking in the kitchen, she's been raising me since i was 5 years, ever since i lost my parents in a car accident. She owns a small bakery down the street.

"good morning "I said to her." Morning" she replied," i made breakfast". "I see that, you didn't have to, i could always buy something on my way to college " i said.

"So you can eat useless things and ruin your health, over my dead body sweetie, here" she says as she hands me coffee and eggs with tomatoes.

"Thank you auntie " i said while eating. After I finished, i said goodbye and leave before getting late.

-I stand outside my house waiting for my friend Dona to come and pick me up like she always do. 5 minutes later, Dona's car pops up In front of me, Dona looks up at me, confused at my angry face.

"what's that face about?" she asked.

"You're five minutes late "i answered her as i enter her car and she drives.

Oh c'mon i was busy" she said.

"Doing what? making out with Isaac on the phone? " i said. She laughs and says

Hahaha! You got that right"

"Ew.." i said in a low tone.

----------------++++++++-------------------

-When we arrived to the campus, the bell was already ringing, Dona didn't care mush about being late, I honestly don't know how she passes the tests but I'm glad she does anyway.

Before going to class i always pay our principal a visit to see if he has any assignments for me. Considering I'm the head of the journalism team, important to keep up. it's very

"Good morning Mr. Williams "i said,knocking on the door of his office.

"Oh! Good morning miss Gilbert, come in have a seat " he said as he points to the chair in front of him.

I do what he says and have a seat. "I came by to see if there is anything for me to do " i said.

'Actually there is " he said. " really ?!" I asked him.

"Yes, tell me miss Gilbert, have you ever heard of Damon Sorrentino ?" he asked.

"Hmm, honestly I haven't "i answer

"Well, he's a successful businessman, he owns bunch of clubs and casinos and production companies "

'Interesting, want me to do?' i asked. What do you

'Well, he arrived to New York 2 days ago, and i would like from you to have an exclusive interview with him, whoever gets his attention and admiration, will get a chance of having an investment with him, and you know, our college needs that kind of investment right now" he explained.

"I see, but do you think he will be interested to invest in our college? " i asked

'I'm not sure, but there is nothing to lose is it ?"he replied

"You're right sir, I'm willing to do this interview, i just need to know where i can find him "i said. "Oh yes just wait a second he said while opening a drawer of his office and pulling out a piece of paper, he handed it over to me and said " That's his office here in New York, you can go after class

"Thank you sir " I said as i leave his office.

-After classes were over, i told Dona about everything, about Damon Sorrentino, the interview, the investment.

"Damon Sorrentino!? Seriously!? "she said in a loud tone.

"Yes... why?"i asked her.

"Yes... why?"i asked her.

"He's like the hottest man ever, he's handsome, sexy, rich and perfect "she said. "Of course you would say that "i said; "Anyway i should get going I don't wanna be late "

"Aargh and when were you ever late...". Just before she finishes her sentence, her boyfriend Isaac came from behind tickling her, as she turned around to kiss him. Isaac used to have a crush on me and i knew it, but i also knew that Dona liked him too and I didn't feel that way towards him either so I rejected him and give him a chance to date Dona.

I catch a taxi and ask the driver to take me to the location Mr. Williams gave me.

When i arrive, i find myself standing in front of a large good looking building, with huge letters spelling the word EMPIRE " in the front. That was the name of the company this man "Damon" owns.

I walk into the reception office and greet the woman standing there. "Hello" i said.

"Hello, how can i help you miss " she said.

My name is Anna Gilbert, i came here to interview Mr. Sorrentino, I'm from Barnard university".

"Oh! Another one, i can swear you're the 9th college girl who came to do an interview with the boss "she said."Oh! Really,!" i said acting surprised but i knew that other colleges would do the same as us.

'Yes, ... well let me just call the boss and see if he's willing to meet you ".

"Sure" T

She picks up the phone and waits for him to answer, when he does she tells him about me, i can assume that he agreed to meet me from the look on her face, she hangs up the phone and turns to me.

"Mr. Sorrentino is ready to meet you Miss Gilbert " she said.

"Thank you " i say right before she cut me off,

"quick advice, don't ask too mush questions, he hates that, probably why most of the girls before you came out from his office were annoyed and upset, i can swear one of them was almost crying, so if i were you, i would get enough with only 3 questions.

"Well you're not me, and i know what I'm doing, but thanks for the advice tho "i said smiling at her as she leads me to his office, I personally don't like people telling me what to do claiming to be an advice.

- Once we arrived to his door step, "Good luck" she said while walking away.

I take a deep breath then i knock on the door.

"Come in ", a rough strong voice was all i heard, i open the door and enter. I was stunned to see a tall muscular man standing and staring at the window.

-I clear my throat to announce my presence, he turns to me and keeps standing there, scanning me with his eyes from head to toe

I can feel myself blush a little, I don't know why but it just happened.

He sits on his chair and tells me to do the same. "Have a seat " he said. And that's what i did, i sat on the chair, i was so nervous, I've done many interviews before but never felt this way.

'Hello, my name is Anna Gilbert, from Barnard university" i said trying to break the silence and stress between us

Damon Sorrentino " he replied.

"I know ... nice to meet you sir, our college is honoured to have this interview with you, if you don't mind, can we start? "i asked him, grabbing my pen to write down his answers.

"Of course "he said.

-Oh, so the first question is, how do you feel about being too mush successful at this young age? -I don't feel anything, this is the age of success anyway

-I see okay next, do you consider anyone as threat or a competitor to you?

- a threat, yes, competitor, no

As mush as that answer was confusing, I didn't wanna push him any further, I didn't wanna be one of those girls who came out sobbing, so i let it drop.

are you ashamed of the kind of business you manage ?

-Why would i be ashamed?

Well some people think of casinos and stripping clubs not mush of honorable business.

- Did those people help me with anything? Do they pay for my employees?

- hmm, no?

- than there is nothing to be ashamed of

- Okey.... Why did you agree on doing interviews with several colleges of New York?

- I plan on offering scholarships to the college i like most and gets my attention, shows the good gesture

- i understand, so my final question is do you see any changes in your life after 5 years?

- I don't think so, no- really, so you plan on following the same protocol for the rest of your life?

-Is that question written on that paper or is it you who's asking?

-A moment of silence took over the room, i was shivering, nervous and i can feel my face sweating, to be honest the last question was not written, i improvised, couldn't control myself and just let it out.

'Actually it's not written, I'm sorry sir "i said, i saw a little smirk on his face, I didn't know what that means, " Anyway we're done here, thanks for your time i said as i stood up right before he interrupted me.

"No we're not, please sit down " he said.

I was surprised, I remember clearly the receptionist saying he didn't like too mush questions, so why would he ask me to stay? I do as he says and get back to my seat, saying nothing and try to avoid eye contact with him, but that didn't last.

"Now it's my turn " he said staring at me. "I'm sorry what?" i asked in confusion.

-You heard me, it's not fair you're the only who gets to ask questions right?

I just stayed there silent looking at him confused, I didn't expect from this man to talk to me like that, like he was interested, or is this one his ways of humiliation?

- Ok so the first question, do you see any changes in your life after 5 years?

I was shocked to hear the same question that i asked him, at this point, i knew for sure he was definitely interested. After a short while of thinking, I decided to answer him.

- Hopefully a garden designer, a successful one

- Really!? Interesting, is that what you want or is it what your parents want you to be?

I jumped at surprise at what he said, never expected him to go that further, i stayed silent for a while, trying to process everything

- "My parents are not even around to welcome me home". I say calmly

I can see the look of regret on his face, wishing he never said what he said. "I'm sorry "he said "That's okey"i said back.

- Final question.... Do you have a boyfriend?

My throat shocked at the sound of that question, it was the last thing i excepted him to ask me, at first i thought he was kidding but then i look up at him to see his face, i knew he was being serious.

"Excuse me ?" i said

-"i said, do you have a boyfriend?" he said

- "Ooh i... actually... I don't " i said

- "Good" he replied

-" Miss Gilbert, let me walk you to the door" he said, i grabbed my things and followed him, he opens the door to me, and suddenly i felt a strong hand behind my back, i turn around to see him, he had beautiful blue eyes, any woman could fall for him.

'Nice to meet you Anna " he said. "Nice to meet you too Mr. Sorrentino " i replied.

- I walk out his office and the company, i stand outside taking a breath, i felt like there was a huge rock on my chest and it's finally gone.















--------------------

~•7:30•~

-I wait outside my house waiting for Dona to come and pick me, she came but this time with her boyfriend Isaac in his car. She was wearing a white glowing dress from Dior.

{ someone's looking sexy, trying to seduce the billionaire Anna? } Dona said sarcastically. { Shut up Donna } i said while

Getting into the car. { I personally think you look beautiful} Justin said. {Thanks, you look good too } i said. { I'm sitting right here } Dona said a little annoyed, despite the fact that I'm her best friend, she gets jealous easily.

We arrive to the ceremony and went inside, and my eyes went straight to Damon who was standing with Mr. Williams and few other teachers, he spotted me and smiled, i look away blushing again.

DAMON'S POV•

- There she is, walking with that sexy dress, showing her beautiful body, i wonder how it looks underneath, what is she doing to me? She has no idea how mush I'm holding back right now, and she keeps teasing me like that I don't know what i might do to her. I excuse myself from the principle and the professors and went over to her.

-Hello love. I said

- Eh!? hello.. She replied

- Nice to see you here

- Nice to see you too Mr. Sorrentino

- You look beautiful tonight

- Thank you, you look good too - Suddenly i hear my name on the microphone, it 's principal

Williams asking me to give a

little speech.

I walk over to the stage leaving Anna with a smirk and grab the microphone, i give away the little speech and gets down, the music starts playing, all the boys and girls start dancing with each other, and i notice Anna standing in a corner on her phone, i walk towards her and ask her to dance

-Would you like to dance with me. I ask her

She hesitates before answering me, and then she agrees

- Sure.

ANNA 'S POV.

I felt his hand placed on my waist inches away from my butt, he was a good dancer, i noticed that most of girls were staring at us, it seemed like they were jealous, i can't blame them, this man was everything a girl could dream of, he was rich, charismatic, and handsome, the magazines and websites said that he's a playboy, never been into a serious relationship, he cuts my thoughts when he turns me around so my back faces his chest, he whispers in my ear.

"Have you noticed that everyone is staring at you?" He said. "I don't think it's me who they're staring at "i replied.

"I don't agree "he said. Once again he turns me to face him, he doesn't say anything, just keeps looking at my lips. I look away and bite my lower lip, he pushes me closer and whisper to my ear again. " please don't bite that lip " he said.

And just before i could answer him the music stops, in the right moment, my heart was beating so fast after hearing those words, i pull away from him." Thanks for the dance" I said. "You're welcome "He replied.

-The party was over, people started leaving. "Anna sweetie, Justin and i are heading to a club, you know to continue partying, would you like to come with us?" Dona said. "Oh no it's alright, you two go have fun, I'll just grab a taxi and head home" i said." I'm so sorry " she said with a sad look on her face "Oh c'mon just go I'll be fine "i said patting on her shoulder.

-Dona left with Justin, and so did everyone, i stand across the street trying to catch a taxi, suddenly a black Lamborghini pulls over In front of me, and Damon Sorrentino pops out of the window.

"Need a ride?" He said smirking

- No, I'm about to get a taxi anyway, but thanks for the offer tho.

- Please, i insist

I take a moment of thinking before answering, how could i say No to him. "" Okey" i said.

The entire ride was mostly silent, we arrived to my house and he walked me all the way to my door step and we stopped to greet each other.

-Thanks for the ride Mr. Sorrentino.

- Please, call me Damon.

- Okay....., thanks, Damon...

As I'm about to open the door, he stops me by the wrist, i look at him confused" what?" I asked him. "Are you free tomorrow?" He asked.

"i guess so, why ?" I say knowing exactly why did he asked that.' I'd like to take you out tomorrow night "he said. "ooh ... well.. i .. fine why not?!" I say excited. Good, I'll pick you up by 8 "he said with a smirk. "deal "i say smiling. "

Without realizing our faces were so close, i felt his breath over my nose, he was about to kiss me

but he was stopped by a loud cough, it was my aunt Kate, glaring at us." Anna, you're home, and you brought a gentleman with you, how sweet, will you introduce us ?" She said "uuh hee, sure, auntie, this is Damon Sorrentino, Damon this is my aunt "i said nervously. " Damon Sorrentino, nice to meet you m' aam "he said shaking her hand.

He turns to me to say goodbye. "we'll finish what we started tomorrow " He said winking at me and leaves.
