Gray For Now // One-On-One // OPEN

He bit his lip flipping the pancake and catching it in the pan You free today?

Yeah. I'm assuming you are?

Yeah, I mean I do have to show you around my company. So, what time should I pick you up beautiful? he acted calm on text but he was actually dancing around the kitchen screaming yes.

Um…I think eleven, She responded, blushing a little bit as they talked.

Pick you up at eleven then. It doesn't matter what you wear you look beautiful with whatever you wear! He finished making his pancakes and finished eating them. By the time he finished and got dressed it was 10:45. Hey where do you live?

11869 Delaware, apartment 34. She responded, smiling to herself as his text. She got up and fixed her hair into its usual messy bun.

Alright on my way! he got in the car and pulled out of his driveway and looking for the apartment as he drove.

Stella sighed happily to herself, sitting on the couch to wait.

He found the house and got out. He went through the door and found the apartment room and knocked on the door "Stella?"

Stella looked up, smiling as she went to answer the door. "Hey," She said with a smile, opening it.

"Hey…you look energetic today? Anything on your mind?" he smirked leaned on the doorway.

You. "No, just….nothing," She said, shaking her head with a smile.

"Alright then," he moved away from the door walking down the hall and waiting for Stella.

Stella followed him quietly, glancing up at him.

They got to the car and Nick opened the door for Stella and got in after her. "It's a long drive so you can sleep if you want to," he flashed a warm smile and started driving.

“Maybe I will,” She said, remembering how little sleep she’d gotten last night.

"What were doing last night after I left?" he made a sharp left turn and pulled into the highway.

“I went home. Changed. Slept,” She responded truthfully.

"Oh? Thought you would have done something more productive…" he trailed off humming to the song on the radio

“Not a very productive person, I have to say,” She commented, glancing over at him.

"Well, now I know," he laughed softly and drove faster making the engine sound louder

“I hope it’s nothing,” Stella worried.

"Don't worry just means the gears are switched to make sure you have more control over the car. Don't worry too much you're safe with me." he smiled and touched her hand

“Thank you.” Stella smiled despite herself.

"Almost there…" Nick said as he turned the corner and you could see the big Apple company building. He pulled into the parking lot, "How may I help you, sir?" Nick took off his sunglass and the Parking lot guy (XD) stood up straight. "O-Oh mister CEO. Your parking spot is avalible for you!" Nick smiled and nooded driving passed the gate.

"Huh. You weren't lying," Stella noted, leaning back and raising her eyebrows slightly.

"Told you~ I'm not some con artist you know." he parked in his spot at the end on the driveway. He gave his keys to the man standing next to his spot, "Take care of this baby okay Caleb. Shall we walk M'lady?" he bowed.

"I guess so," She answered, getting out of the car and following him.

They made it through the door, "Mr.CEO!!!!! MR.CEO!!!" he turned his head to see his assistant, "I told you just to call me nick didn't I? What is it Cherry?" She caught her breath, "Sir, we did it. We finally got the battery life to last a month!" Nicks faced shinned as he hugged Cherry, "That is amazing! The best part is…." he turned around to Stella, "I can spend the whole day with you."

Stella beamed despite herself, and she couldn't believe her luck. "Wow. Thank you."
