The two of us walk into my apartment to be met by a wonderful smell. Alex emerges from the kitchen with an apron.

"Hey, I didn't know we had guests." He says as he hugs me.

"My apologies, Alex remember Scarlett?" I say

"How could I forget. Alex Dentré nice to meet you." He says offering her a hand to shake, she accepts looking at him from top to bottom.

"Scarlett Johansson, the pleasure is all mine Alex." She says giving him her sweet sweet smile.

"I made some cake." he says taking off his apron.

"Oh what did you do?" I ask

"Nothing! Why do you think I did something?"

"Because you hate making cake." I say

"Well I got a recipe from Marcus himself. He told me it is to die for so why not?" He says

"Okay. We'll be in the living room." I say

"Great. The cake is cooling in the fridge it should be ready to serve in half an hour." He says

"Do you want anything to drink Scarlett?" He asks

"No thank you. I'm good." she says looking around as if she's never been to my place.

We walk to the living room and Alex disappears into the kitchen once again.

"Is everything okay?" I ask

"Why do you ask?" She says sitting down.

"I don't know you're looking around like you've never been to my place before." I say and I sit down on the couch as well.

"Sorry It's just that it's been so long since we were here alone." she says

"No it wasn't the last time I was in New York you were here." I say

"I'd rather not talk about that." She says clearing her throat.

"I'm sorry I shouldn't have brought it up." I apologise

"No need to apologise. It's okay. It turned out alright after all" She says looking away from me.

"I don't know. What do you consider okay?" I ask

"Okay so the cake is served. I brought some for the two of you to try." Alex interrupts carrying two plates.

"Great. It look delicious." She says looking away from me again.

damn it Alex..

"So tell me again how did the two of you end up meeting?" Alex asks pointing to the two of us.

"I was her assistant." I say putting some cake into my mouth.

"No way." He says in disbelief.

"We met over Maria. She suggested her to me and that is how all of this started."Scarlett continues.

"No way! This is some Devil wears Prada type thing. I love it." He says

"Of course you would use that reference. Of course you would." I say

"What? You know how much I love that film." He says and smiles.

"So Dentré, doesn't really sound like an English last name." Scarlett says putting down her plate.

"Long time ago my great grandfather moved from Italy to England with his brother. They made a fortune on the grounds of Liverpool so they decided they shall stay. I just got the last name. I was born and raised in England." He says

"I didn't know that." I say

"Well you never asked." He says

"Shame on you." Scarlett taunts.

We talked for a long period of time. She got to know Alex a bit more and it was all going nice. Until she asked one of the biggest questions she could.

"So how long have you been together?" She asks

"Oh um.. Alex?" I say

"We're not officially together is all." He lies.

"Oh. I thought otherwise." She says

"Do you want to join me on the balcony?" I ask her.

"Let's at least carry the plates into the kitchen."

"Oh Alex will get those, right Alex." I say throwing daggers his way.

"Of course darling." he says and takes the plates into the kitchen.

"You go sit I'll join you in a minute." I say and she nods. I run to my room and find the bracelet Marcus got her and me and I run back to the balcony, holding it behind my back.

"Close your eyes."

"Oh no."

"Don't be alarmed, you'll be fine." I say

"Is it moving?"

"Dude what do you think I have behind my back?"

"I don't know you have very wide shoulders." She says

"Just close them already." I say

"Someone's bossy." she mutters and closes her eyes.

I put the box into her hand and she opens it almost immediately.

"What this?" She gasps

"It's the Rose I promised the last time. Although I have to admit I didn't buy it this time. Marcus found two of the same and got them for us." I say.

"Oh my God. Can I open it?" She asks

"Yes. Please do." I says and she doesn't hesitate. She opens it and once she sees it her eyes go wide.

"It's beautiful. Where is yours?" She asks

"It's on my night stand." I say smiling at her.

"Can you help me put it on?" she asks

"Of course." I say and sit down next to her. She puts her hand on my thigh and I hurry to clasp the bracelet. I can't take it. The heat she brings to my cheeks is crazy by now.

"There." I say and she looks at her hand. All of a sudden she jumps and embraces me. I melt at her touch and we hold each other.

"Thank you." She whispers nuzzling her head into my neck.

"You're welcome Scarlett." I say and we stay in that position for some time.

"I missed you." She says leaning back.

"Oh really?" I ask

"Yeah. It was one hell of a time without you here." She says looking at the view in front of us.

"I missed you too, back in England." I say

"Can I lay on you lap? The view is fantastic and it seems the sun is about to set." she says

"Sure, do you want me to bring you a pillow?" I ask

"Oh you don't have to do that." She says

"Wait here." I say and jump from my seat to head inside. I get a pillow and a blanket from the living room and return to the balcony. I sit back down and put the pillow on my lap, while holding the blanket in my other hand.

"You can lay down now." She lays down onto the pillow and I throw the blanket over her body.

"You didn't have to do that." She says

"Yes I did. You're pregnant we can't ever be too careful." I say and she smiles at that.

I don't know where to put my right hand so I just put it on the top of the couch. It may be uncomfortable but I'd rather make myself uncomfortable than her.

"This view is beautiful." she says

"It really is." I say looking down at her.

"You're not even looking ahead."

"I know." I say and smile down at her.

Her cheeks go red and she looks away.

"No wonder Alex fell for you." She mutters under her breath but I caught it.

She reaches for my right hand and puts it on top of her shoulder.I draw circles on her skin and start to massage her shoulder. Her breaths get deep and I continue down her back.

"Little lower please." She breaths out.

I go lower and press harder she releases a moan and I freeze. I don't think she realised what just happened.

"Please more, your fingers do wonders to my skin." she says

"Okay, as you wish." I say and continue on giving her a massage. After a while I can't hear her anymore. I peek over to see her fast asleep. She must be tired. I don't touch her anymore. I just put the blanket over her entire body and lean back. She must have needed this.

I am woken up by a breeze I shudder and look around to see that it is pitch black outside. I look down and notice that Scarlett is sleeping soundly on my lap. I check my watch and see that it is almost 11 pm. Jesus for how long have we slept here?

"Scarlett. Wake up" I say shaking her shoulder gently.

"hmm?" She mumbles.

"Scarlett we both fell asleep." I say and she finally opens her eyes.

"What time is it." Oh heavens that voice will never get old.

"Almost 11 pm." I say and she just rolls over to the other side, facing me now.

"Can we just stay here?" She asks

"No, we need to head inside. Where it is warm and to change from our clothes." I say

"I should call Colin." She says getting up.

"Also that." I say

"Where is my phone?" She asks

"It is probably inside. Go check I'll tidy up here and join you inside." I say and start folding the blanket. I carry the two inside and find Alex with his reading glasses on.

"How was your nap?" He asks

"Good. I'm gonna head to bed soon." I say sitting down.

"Scarlett went to notify loverboy that she will be staying the night here. You're welcome by the way." he says

"What for?" I ask

"I suggested she stays the night here."

"And what do I have from that? Where is she anyways?"

"She's in the kitchen." He says

"Did she like the bracelet?" He asks

"She loved it." I say smiling.

"I knew she would. If you gave her a rock she would love it." He says

"Yeah right."

"Okay I just told Colin I'm staying here for the night. He doesn't seem to mind or care." She says sitting down on the couch next to Alex.

"Thats your cue to go find something to wear." Alex says smiling to her.

"Only if Lena lets me." She says

"Oh please, Lena has enough clothes to cover the entire New York City and I'm referring to only the clothes she has here. You should see her wardrobe back home." He says

"Oh please, my wardrobe is not that big." I say

"Darling you live in a bloody castle, don't start." he says

"Well you live in a mansion." I defend.

"That can fit twice into your place." He says

"Let's go Scarlett. He's just jealous of the garden outside."

"In your dreams! You and I both know Bernard the gardner does an incredible job." He shouts as we walk into my room. Scarlett laughs at out petty arguments and enters my room.

"Let's see what we can find." I say rolling up my sleeves.

"Is it true what he was saying?" She asks

"What exactly?" I ask

"That you live in a castle" She says

"Oh yeah. But the description is a bit overboard." I say.

"Just when I think I know everything. You throw a curveball." She says

I chuckle at that.

"I missed hearing that." She says

"huh?"

"I missed hearing your laugh. I haven't heard it in a while." She says

"What do you mean? We laughed and talked hours ago."

"Yeah and that was not this." She says putting her hands on my shoulders.

"Yeah and whats this?" I whisper.

"I'd love to find out myself." She whispers back.

"Scarlett. You and I both know we shouldn't do this." I whisper.

"What is it that we're doing?" She asks

I stay quiet looking at her emerald eyes. I seem to get lost in them quite easily.

"Answer me." She whispers into my ear. I swallow, hard.

"Scar.. we can't." I say weakly.

"Who says?" she asks

"Colin." I say

"Fuck Colin." She says and all of a sudden I feel the touch on her lips on mine. It takes me a second to process everything but once I realised what was happening I joined in.

Oh how her lips ignite a fire deep inside me I never knew existed. I strive for her touch as right as that thought coursed through my head her hands began to clasp at my waist. Leaving me out of breath. We separate after what felt like seconds but also years at the same time.

"What are you doing to me Scarlett?"
