{Amaya Rose}

"So, that's how I found this place... And also, why I hate Jen," He mumbles nervously.

I don't say anything. She wasted 4 years? Just like that?

"Does this make you not want to date me?" Aww, he looks so sad.

"No, Of course, I want to date you. I'm just confused," I confirm.

"About what?" He raises his eyebrow.

"Are you sure she knew how that works?" I continue when he still looks confused, "I mean, maybe she thought that the note means you guys are broken up."

"Muffin I'm pretty sure she knew how a break-up works," he sighs.

"Are you sure though? Did you try explaining that to her? Maybe she didn't know that you have to read the letter first," I explain, maybe she was confused.

"Baby. She knew," he chuckles, is he sure? I also ignore the way my heart flutters when he uses the nickname... "Don't be naïve. She isn't dumb."

I nod, yeah true. How does someone not know something like that?

"Let's stop talking about this, okay?" it comes out as more of a statement than a question, "I don't want to talk about Jen."

"Okay. So, do you like anything other than blueberry muffins?" I change the topic.

"Yes. You." He smiles down at me. I'm glad it's dark cause my face is probably red by now.

"I like you too," I mumble.

"Here," he hands me a cupcake. I take a bite and hum. It's good.

"So how did you have time to set this up?" I know he was busy.

"My friends did it last minute thankfully," he grins.

"You have nice friends," I nod.

"Yeah. You'll love them," he beams. Cute.

"That's good. I want to get along with them," I comment, I hope I'm around for that.

"Well, I plan to keep you for a while so they better get used to you," he smirks. Is he trying to kill me?

We sat there for a few hours before heading back to the car to go home.

Xavier opens the door for me and slips into his side after I get settled.

I yawn cause I'm starting to get tired but I make sure to stay awake while we are sitting in comfortable silence.

"You can sleep," Xavier smiles at me, putting his hand on my thigh. Butterflies. "I'll wake you up when we reach."

I hum, liking the feeling of his hand on my thigh, maybe just close my eyes for a few minutes.

"Amaya. Muffin. Wake up, we're here," Xavier gently shakes me awake, slowly stroking my hair.

I open my eyes and smile at him, 'was I asleep the entire ride?'

"I'm sorry for sleeping in the middle of our date," I apologize.

"Don't be. You look adorable while you sleep," he laughs.

He gets out of the car and opens my door, holding his hand out. I take it and pull myself out of the car.

"Come on, I'll walk you to your apartment," he gestures.

We walk into the building after he closes the car and we walk into the elevator. I press my floor number and when we reach I walk to my apartment with him behind me.

"This was a lot of fun," I grin, stopping when we reach my door.

"It was. You want to go out again?" Is that even a question?

"I would love to Xavier," I smile.

"Perfect. How about Saturday?" that was in three days.

"Sounds great," I confirm.

"Good," he starts to lean closer and for a moment I think he is going to kiss me but his lips land on my cheek. I don't know if I'm happy about that or sad.

"Would you like to come in?" my sleep? Long gone.

"I will. But not yet," he smirks.

I blush when I realize what he meant.

"Okay, then I should sleep," I squeal before kissing his cheek and walking into my apartment. "I had fun thank you for this. Bye Xavier, stay safe," and with that, I close my apartment door leaving him laughing outside.

"Alright muffin. Bye," he calls out, chuckling. I hear footsteps fade and then the elevators sound so I know he is gone.

I smile to myself. I am dating XAVIER FREAKING KNIGHT.

I change out of my dress and into some comfy pajamas before texting Xavier one last time.

'Thank you again for today.' Waiting for his reply.

'Thank you for being there ;)' Aww.

'Can't wait for next time.' I really can't.

'I can't either. Go to sleep baby. I'll see you tomorrow.' Right. work.

'Okay. Bye. Goodnight :)' I'm tired

'Goodnight muffin.' I like the message and close my phone, putting it on charge.

I go lay on my bed and close my eyes. The last thing on my mind is the date.

When I wake up it's still sunrise so I start getting ready for work.

When I freshen up and change, I make breakfast for myself. After eating I go to the bus stop and rush to the bus almost not catching it.

When I reach, it's around 5, and start baking. I finished by 5:55. He should be here soon.

I walk around the front of the counter to put his muffin on display.

Just as I close the lid on the little tray display, two hands wrap around my waist. I gasp and turn around to find Xavier.

"Good morning muffin," he greets. I look around to see people staring at us, and I back away.

"Stop looking at other people, focus on me," he mumbles when he realizes I moved away cause of other people.

He pulls me back closer and kisses my forehead before kissing my cheek and I smile up at him.

"One blueberry muffin please," he whispers.

"Yes sir," I grab the muffin from the small tray and hand it to him with a grin.

"How about we keep the 'Sir' for just the bedroom?" He winks. Oh lord.

"Oh my god, Xavier," my eyes widen and he just chucked.

"I'm joking baby... For now," he smirks.

I blush and put my head on his chest. I don't know why we are being so touchy but I don't mind it.

"You have work. Go," I order when I back away.

"Yes ma'am," he laughs, giving me one last kiss on my head, "Have a nice day muffin." With that, he walks away to the elevator.

I look up and see a few people look shocked but they turn away and mind their own business except one specific person who is glaring at me. Jennifer.

I don't know what her problem is. I don't really give much thought to it though. Xavier and her are history and she is the one who broke up with him so she has no right to be mad.

I feel like she wants to say something but Xavier has warned her that if she makes anyone uncomfortable she will be kicked out. So, she doesn't say anything, only glares.

Around 12PM I get a text and I look to see who it is. Xavier

'Can you get me a banana nut muffin to my office please?' he likes them, I guess that's good.

'Sure, I'll finish with this customer and bring it.' I see someone walking up to me

'Okay.' I like it then go to the customer.

"How may I help you, ma'am?" I question, smiling.

"Where is Mr. Xavier knights office?" Oh, maybe she is a client.

"Top floor. There is a phone next to the elevator and you can contact his assistant by pressing the floor number and she'll direct you to him," I explain.

"Okay," she then walks away and I see her call, she says something and then enters the elevator.

I pick up a banana nut muffin and walk to the elevator and call Xavier's assistant.

"Mr. Knight's office," she informs. "How may I help you?"

"Hello. Mr. Knight ordered a banana nut muffin," I answer.

"Please wait," the line beeps. "You can come up," she says after a few seconds.

I walk into the elevator and press the top floor. Once I reach it, I walk up to his office door and knock, entering when I hear him call out.

"Hello. Here is your muffin," I smile.

"Hey. Thank you. Just sit there for a moment I want to talk to you once I'm done with this," he gestured towards the swing chair on the side of his office. Talk? About what? Is he gonna fire me? No. Why would he fire me?

"So, as I was saying; we are supposed to show up together to the event," the woman from before continues.

"As I said Natalia, I already have someone in mind I want to take. So, I can't be your date," he informs. Date? What date? Is he going on a date with someone? I mean it's not cheating since we aren't officially together but still. He is not going on a date with someone else.

"Fine but if you change your mind, call me," she winks. Why is she winking at him? Okay, now I'm getting annoyed.

As she walks out of the office and shuts the door I look at Xavier. Annoyance is written all over my face.

"Come here," he orders, holding out his hand from his seat.

I hesitate but listen. Although I don't go to him, I go sit on one of the chairs in front of his desk.

"You are not going on a date with someone else," I mumble.

"What?" he raises his eyebrow.

"I get that we are not together officially but I don't want you to go on a date with someone else," I grumble.

He just smiles at me. My eyes narrow at him, this is not funny.

"Come here," he gestures for me to come to him.

I stand up and walk around the desk toward him. When I'm close enough he grabs my hand and pulls me on top of him. I gasp, landing on his lap and he holds me there.

"I'm not going on a date with anyone but you muffin," oh. "I told you to stay because I wanted to ask you to be my date for the upcoming event."

"What if I say no?" Why did I just say that?

"Then there is no shame in going alone," he shrugs.

"Okay then. Ask," I smile, "Ask me to be your date."

"Well, Amaya Rose, will you do me the extortionary honor and be my date to the event?" He smirks.

"I will," I say, giggling.

"You also look super-hot when you are jealous, you know that?" he chuckles.

"Shut up I was not jealous," I squeak, trying to get off his lap but he holds me there.

"You totally were. But you have nothing to worry about. I only have my eyes on you," he reassures.

"Good," I smile, kissing his cheek.

Dating him will definitely be something and I look forward to every second of it.
