As Birdie registred what was going on she almost had a heart attack. How the hell did he come so fast. She knew he would've seen the TV but in just a few hours he was here and she didn't know what to do.
"WHat the hell are you doing here !?" she whispered back, she was in a really compromised position. It was the official launch of their first product and people more important than the queen was here. She decided to make a deal with him, and see if he bought it.
"Look, this event is really important for me, I'll talk to you when it's over. Can you do that ? For me ?" she knew he would fall for her charm, and her puppy eyes.
"Alright, I'll meet you after the party in the entrance and then we talk. I'm not going to take you or anything alright ?" his reassuring smile made Birdie feel safe, but as soon as she realised what she was thinking she stopped her trail of thought and dismissed him, "Ok, I'll see you later".
They finished the song in silence. It was a comfortable silence and it gave time to Birdie who was still thinking about why she felt safe when he said that he wasn't gonna hurt her. She couldn't stop herself from feeling attracted to him, after all he was very attractive, but she couldn't describe the feeling that was growing inside of her.
As the song ended they parted ways but not before Asher gave her a kiss in the cheek and whispered sensually in her ear again "I'll wait for you".
She stayed in the same position and touched her cheek where he had kissed her. "Was that not the guy we were running from ?" suddenly Jason appeared in front of her with two glasses of martini. Birdie took one and sighted "Yeah, he found me because of the reporters" then she looked at her phone to see the time and realised that they needed to dp the opening speech so she took Jason's hand and led him to the stand.
"Hello everyone, well as you know, I'm Birdie Conde and this is Jason Stewart, and we are the founders and owners of Duo corp" Birdie was actually a bit nervous but managed to maintain a confident facade the whole speech. "I'm also the CEO of the company, and I just wanted to start saying that on behalf of us and our employees we are really thankful to you for attending today. Now we are going to present our product and after we'll open a round of questions. Thank you"...
Their presentation went as planned and after the round of questions, everyone in the audience and thee people watching on the channels that were streaming the event, was assured that this company was going to be big someday and that Birdie was going to be one of the most awarded businesswoman in the next few years.
When they got off the stand Jason and Birdie split to be able to talk to more people. The evening went better than what they had planned, they made a lot of business deals and added many clients and contacts.
As the evening came to and end Birdie didn't know what to do with her problem. She knew she would have to face him someday, but she didn't want to right now. With all this messed up feelings she couldn't trust herself.
She made a quick phone call for someone to bring her car in case things got ugly. When she had all sorted out and the staff she hired knew how to pack everything she went to the entrance to face Asher.
As she got to the exit she saw him leaning in the doorframe like in the pictures that you see in magazines and he could totally be in one. "Hey" Birdie said a little uncomfortable, "What do you want to talk about ?" she asked nervously.
"We cant talk here, it's too risky" said Asher in response. "Well this is the only place you'll ever see me in so you better hurry" she said a little frustrated. She didn't want to spend anymore time with him than needed. Her father specifically told her that she was to stay away from the WSIA.
What do you mean it's the only time I'm ever going to see you ? Do you think I'd give up so fast ?" Asher was starting to get mad. He knew she also felt something towards him even though she didn't want to say. Also she was talking about not seeing eachother again, and he knew that even if she didn't want to join the WSIA he would still want to stay in contact with her.
"I meant what i said, I don't want to spend anymore time with you than necessary" Birdie really said this honestly. He looked so mouthwatering in his tux that she didn't know what she would do if she spent more time with him than what was necessary. After all he was from the organisation she was encouraged to stay away from.
When Birdie sid this, Asher lost control of himself and slammed her into the wall next to them claimed her lips. At first Birdie resisted out of shok but then she began to reciprocate Asher's movements and she moulded her lips against his.
Asher took the lead in this dance and increased the pressure against her lips to assert his dominance. His hands went to each side of her head and pressed their bodies closer to each other. Mia was so lost in the kiss she didn't realised she raised her hands to his hair and started gripping it. This made Asher groan in pleasure and after hearing it Birdie stopped kissing him and looked up at him in worry. Now that they were so close the difference in heights was really noticeable. She was so tiny compared to her that she had to look fully up to see his face.
"Did I hurt you ?" she asked unsure, "No you didn't little bird" this woke Birdie up and she realised what she just did. She wiggled a but and got out from between him and the wall and escaped to her car.
"Hey what do you think youre doing " yelled Asher running after her "Am I not attractive enough ?". While he was saying this Birdie got to her car and entered as fast as she could. Seeing that she was planning to run Asher got in his car too and followed her. This is how the chase began.
