Thank God You're Pretty.

We finally reached our beloved home. I made my way straight towards the kitchen yet no delicious aroma filled the air. The kitchen was empty with no sign of Maria," Eric, where is Maria?!" I yelled in desperation, for now I was tired and starving to an extent that my stomach was probably already devouring my other organs.

"What do you mean, where's Maria?" He asked as he came into the kitchen, "Fuck! Today is Wednesday. She told me last week that she won't be here. I completely forgot."

I was now starring daggers at him, waiting impatiently for him to drop dead. I grabbed a potato from the vegetable rack underneath the stove and threw it at him, hitting his arm.

"Ahhh, what the---Ouch!" I threw another before he could finish his sentence.

"You are an idiot." I said as he gave me one last stare before he walked towards the pots with my gaze trailing him.

"Violet, I would appreciate it if you would please stop glaring at me whilst coming up with different ways to kill me in your head and help me instead," He said as he pulled out some spices, "And drop the potato."

Damn, he's good.

"Are you cooking?" I asked causing him to stop in his tracks and stare at me in disbelief.

"Violet, really?" He shook his head and mumbled, "Thank God you're pretty."

"Hey!" I yelled whilst throwing a carrot at him.

"What the---? Come on! " He yelled causing me to throw another, "That's it!" He opened the fridge and grabbed an egg.

"Ahh shit." I yelled as the egg hit my chest and slide down my shirt "Oh God this is so disgusting." I whined. I quickly shook the feeling off and glared at him, "Ohh, it is soo on!"

I ran to the kitchen cabinet and pulled out the flour letting it fly all over him as he continued to throw eggs. I laughed my guts out when Eric slipped on an egg yoke causing him to crash down onto the ground. I could not stop laughing and the more he groaned the more I laughed, until he grabbed my ankle and pulled me down to the ground right next to him, "ouch." I laughed.

We sat on the floor covered in egg and flour whilst leaning against the cupboard laughing our hearts out. Our laughter bounced off every corner of the room illuminating the kitchen.

"Oh wow!" I said with a smile, "You know what? I think I am going to just go and order us some pizza."

"Ya, I am going to go and have a shower." He said as he began heading towards his room.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

After we both had a shower, we sat in the living room binging 'Grimm' with a large pizza and a 2 liter coke on the coffee table in front of us.

"So we decided to go skinny dipping in her pool whilst her parents were out but they came early and ended up catching us, her father being a cop , he dragged me down to the police station," He said whilst we laughed, "The worst part was that in the rush to get into the pool I lost my cloths so I went to the police station with just banana leaves around me."

"Oh God!" I said whilst laughing my guts out.

"So what was your most embarrassing moment?" He asked.

"Well I wasn't as daring as you were in high school but when I was younger, I had always wanted to be a ballerina so I would dance everywhere. So this one time I was spinning in a shop and I kicked up high causing my shoe to fly off and also almost hit two men on ladders packing the sauce shelves," I said making Eric laugh, " What made it funnier and worse was the fact that it was a busy aisle and the look on the guys' faces. I didn't even get my shoe back." I laughed.

"So death by shoe?" said Eric causing me to roll my eyes and smile whilst shaking my head.

"Haha, very funny." I said whilst lightly punching his shoulder, "Oh by the way do you mind if I come in at 8:00 .a.m. tomorrow? I am having coffee with a friend." I told him.

"Okay."

"But to be fair we do start work at eight, you just make me come an hour early---" I said but immediately stopped, "Wait what?! Did you just say okay?"

"Yes Violet, I have a meeting tomorrow early in the morning so it's fine." He replied.

"Are you sure cause it is my job to go to those things with you." I said to him.

"Yes, but it is not really during working hours but it is the only time that works for them and it is more of a private meeting anyway. Well it is getting late so I am gonna go and sleep." He said as he leaned forward and placed a kiss on my forehead, before saying goodnight.

Well...

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I sat in the coffee shop a few blocks away from the office enjoying a delicious cup of coffee with a slice of lemon cheesecake whilst listing to Zack.

Well I tried to listen...

My mind continued wondering off, thinking about Eric. The color of his beautiful hypnotic emerald eyes, his amazingly soft hair and how he pretended not to cry at the end of 'Titanic'.

"Violet, Violet!?" called out Zack, " Uhmm, so would you?"

"Uhmm, ya. Sure..." I said laughing awkwardly.

Oh, sure. Of course I would love to sell my kidney to you!

*****Eric's POV *****

I sat in the conference room waiting for Veronica to arrive.

"Hello Eric, long time no see." She said in an alluring thick accent, bringing out her brightest smile.

"Hello Veronica, shall we begin?" I asked.

"Oh, always so professional. One of the reasons why I fell in love with you." she said.

"Veronica, that was a long time ago. Now let's start the meeting." I said but as soon as it started I completely zoned out for the first time ever. I began thinking of Violet, her warm chocolate brown eyes, her contagious bubbly laughter, how childish she can be and how beautiful she is.

"Eric. Eric!?" She called out, dragging my mind back, "So do you agree?"

"Yes, sure." I said completely unaware of the fate I am sealing for myself.

"Okay then, Wednesday at 6:00 .p.m. we will meet at 'Babbo', don't be late." She said.

"Okay..." I said with a raised eyebrow.

What the hell did I say yes to?

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

***** Violet's POV *****

"So how was the coffee thing?" Asked Eric.

"It was okay. Zack is...Okay." I said.

Okay. Huh, it would have been pretty 'okay' if he had a sock shoved in his mouth.

"Oh so Zack was the friend..." He said with skeptical eyes, "Nice. Cool. Great..." I frowned at his reaction to Zack, "Anyway we are gonna have dinner today at one of my friend's house."

"Ohhh, cool. I am finally gonna meet a friend of yours!" I exclaimed happily, " Though I believe that you having friends is quite a mystery," I stated.

"Violet." He said warningly, "Don't you have work to do?" he asked.

"Yes...so I better get going, bye." I waved awkwardly and rushed out his office.

I can't believe I am going to meet his friends today.

Finally...
