My dad leaves us alone and I give up and grab Noah's glass draining it too. Ivy looks at him and he smirks.

"I'll just go get the another".

​​

Ivy went to get up but he held her waist.

"No need, Thomas".

Thomas leaves us to go to the bar.

"Ok thanks".

"So you left your apartment?".

"Yep, big... no ...huge rat problem".

"Good timing then".

He smiles at my lie.

"What do you mean?".

"I cancelled your lease and moved your stuff to my house".

"What... why?"

"You will move to my place".

Noah answered and left no room for rejection, but she tries anyway.

"Mmm, no thanks".

He laughs at her.

"It's not a request".

Again with the demands, Ivy thought.

"So do you want a maid or something, cause I don't clean"?

He laughs again frustrating Ivy.

"No need".

"Emm ok, do you need a new bodyguard?".

"No. You will be mine".

She stared at him like he was crazy.

"You want to date me?".

"Mmm".

"I don't agree".

Ivy stood up pushing his hand away from her waist.

"Excuse me I'll go to the ladies".

Ivy goes through the crowd to the toilets. Its a large white and gold room. There is even an attendant waiting with perfumes ect to the side. Ivy dabbed her face slightly with water. Noah was making her a bit hot and bothered and she didn't like that way he affects her. Ivy then put on some more lipstick.

"You slut".

Ivy looked over, it's defiantly her unlucky day to meet this girl three times in one day. She was6h her hands and prepared to leave.

"How dare you snatch my dress then my Noah. What are you doing with him?".

Ivy decided to be honest and poke the blonde bear a bit more.

"Dating apparently".

"Dating..... You.. you leave him right now".

"You make him leave me".

If she could do that I'd buy her a thousand dresses Ivy thought.

"Slut".

Ivy wasn't a fan of hitting dumb people as they can't help it but this woman has called her one too many names today.

Slap

"Aghh how dare you, I'm telling Noah".

Ivy then let her run to Noah, giving the white lotus a chance to show off her acting skills. As Ivy walked to them she sees the white lotus routine in full effect and smiled. But Noah isn't alone Cole is with him. Dammit, she thought.

Ivy's phone is on the sofa so she walks over to retrieve it and hopefully leave.

"That's her again Noah hit her for me".

Ivy lifted her phone ignoring the situation and Cole. Noah then grabs her hand.

"Does it hurt?".

She looked at Noah and he was staring at her hand, his thumb rubbing her palm.

"Mmm... oh my hand no".

"Next time ask Thomas to do it".

"....Ok... I'll just go see my dad".

"Mmm".

Noah let's go of Ivy's hand and she walks away from the table.

"Ivy".

Cole calls her name and Ivy continues to walk over to her dad ignoring the fly buzzing around her.

"Thomas sends this woman out, ban her from all my establishments".

Noah's deep voice announced as soon as Ivy left.

"Yes sir".

"Wait please Noah, My dad..".

Rachel screams and shouts as Thomas manhandles her out of the ballroom. Her dad never showed his face to Noah. He must be smart, he would probably be fired if he tried to fight for his daughter Ivy thought.

"Dad.... ready to go?".

Ivy walked over and stood with her dad.

"Did you see Noah? He seemed to like you".

He seems to like the idea of getting me married to much this is the second time thought Ivy.

"Yea, he wants to date me".

"Mmm I'd usually say no but this man has no scandals and he hates women doing what that other lady did tonight. I think you'd be in good hands".

"Better hands then Cole?".

Ivy asked her dad and it pained her to see him looking down in regret. Sometimes her mouth goes before she thinks.

"I know he did wrong and so does he. He wants to make it up to you".

"No thanks".

Ivy flat out rejected that idea. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me Ivy thought.

Cole walks up to Ivy and grabs her arm.

"Ivy ten minutes please".

"Hands".

Ivy heard Noah's voice from behind her. Cole lets go and Noah holds my waist pulling her into his warm embrace.

"Mr Hughes I'll take Ivy home".

"Thank you, CEO Adler".

They walk out together, with Noah still holding Ivy. Once out of sight and outside the ballroom Ivy try's to free herself.

"Be good".

Noah opens the door and Ivy gets in and he follows so she moves over but he puts her on his lap.

"Hey".

Ivy moves around a bit, trying to break free but the man's hands had her in an iron grip.

"Stop moving".

Ivy stopped as she felt something big and hard against her bum.

Thomas gets in the car and starts to drive while Aiden sits in the passenger seat.

"Boss, where too?".

"Home".

"Nearest taxi stand".

Not knowing whose orders to follow Aiden asks again.

"Ok... boss?"

"Come home with me tonight".

Ivy looked into his deep mesmerising eyes and nodded. He lifts her chin and kisses her again. This time it's slow and sweet.

Ivy breaks away and looked at the front seats. Both Thomas and Aiden don't say anything. But Ivy blushed. He stole my first kiss and my second was in front of two other people she thought then she hears the man laugh beside her.

"So sweet".

Noah licks his lips and kisses her again.
