Ace Wagner took his chance and pulled her in for a hug. He breathed in her scent of lavender and mint, looping his hand around her hair. Her hair was tied up and he wanted to feel her soft curls around his hands.
`How was work?', she pulled back and asked. Gordon, his secretary opened the door for her, and she smiled at him.
`It was a busy day', Ace replied and motioned for them to drive. `Astrid, I have something to ask. I mean the favour I requested earlier', he scratched the back of his neck. What if she disagrees? Or worse will she get angry at me?
`Shoot, how can I be of help?', Astrid pulled a bottle of water from her bag and took a sip.
`My mom, she fixed a date for me tonight. At our house. And I need your help to chase her out', Ace was a nervous wreck by now. Ok, I just said it like ripping a band-aid. Fast and precise. Fuck, hope this works.
