HIS POV

"I love this one," Dudley says as he points at the photo we all fell in love with. "The other ones are amazing as well but this is the one."

Luca who is an expert in editing photographs, crops the picture and places it on the business card template. He adjusts the lighting and touches up a few glares before printing out the final product.

Anthony hands the card to Dudley and we all look down at it. Dudley's store information is imprinted on the left, while Samantha is photoshopped into the card on the right.

"This is perfect!" He beams with a happy grin.

"I'll send these to my team and begin the printing," Luca informs as he emails the template to his employees.

"So, did I do good?" Samantha asks as she walks back into the room after changing into her original clothes.

"You did amazing," Dudley compliments.

Anthony turns to Sam with an approving smile and hands her the copy of the business card.

"Thanks to you, people may actually want to buy things from Dudley's store," he jokes and Dudley punches his arm. The dirty blonde winces in pain at the impact. "Just kidding."

       Samantha let's out a soft chuckle. She looks down at the card and runs her hand over the glossy picture. Her lips curve up into a small smile.

       "I'll have them delivered to you by tomorrow afternoon," Luca says as he stands up from the desk.

       "Great," Dudley chirps. He then turns to all of us with a grateful smile. "I would like to thank all of you for helping me with this and I would appreciate it if you guys could show up at my grand opening on Friday."

       "We'll be there," I am the first to reply and Samantha nods her head.

       Luca and Anthony also chime in agreeing that they will assist the event.

       "Thank you again for everything," Dudley says once more as hugs all of us goodbye. "I'll see you all at the grand opening."

       "We should be going to," Anthony replies as he pats my back and then goes over to hug Samantha goodbye.

       "It was a pleasure working with you," Luca shakes my hand before going over to Samantha. "You've still got your touch Kitten."

       "Thank you," Samantha replies before Luca leans down to hug her and whispers something into her ear that I can't make out. I feel my blood boil as jealousy consumes me but I push it back not wanting to cause a scene.

       When Luca finally follows Anthony out the door, I pull Samantha into my arms possessively. She appears startled at first, but then relaxes into my touch.

       "How did it feel?" I ask referring to her modeling session.

       She rests her chin on my neck as she looks up at me with a thoughtful expression. She then puckers her lips together.

       "I felt a little rusty at first," she admits. "But afterword, it just kind of came back to me. You know... the groove."

       I smile at her cute expressions.

       "Well, you were amazing," I reply as I run my finger across her jawline. "And I think you deserve a reward."

       "Oh really?" She lifts an eyebrow and I can see the lust in her eyes begin to ignite.

       Despite how badly I need her, I want to do something mode special for her rather than taking her to bed.

       "It isn't what you are thinking princess," I state and a small pouty frown appears at the corner of her lips causing me to chuckle. "I want to take you on a date. An official one."

"Really?" I can hear the surprise and excitement in her tone and I nod.

"I'll pick you up at eight tonight," I state and Samantha smiles.

"I'll see you tonight," she replies in her sweet voice.

She leans up and presses her lips against mine in a quick peck. Her excited smile warms my heart and I know that I have to make this the best day possible.

       As she walks out of the studio, I pull out my phone and dial Anthony's phone number. If I want to make this amazing for her I am going to need some help.

***

       I feel my heart beating fast against my chest as I wait for the door to open. It almost feels like this is my very first date.

       I can hear the muffled conversation between Samantha and her friend, Derek. I did not like the idea of her living with another man, but jealous is out at ease knowing that she only sees him as a brother. I am thankful to him for giving her shelter.

       "Hello handsome," Samantha chirps as she opens the door.

       My eyes travel up taking in every detail. Her long legs are covered by a pair of light blue jeans, a bright pink dress shirt is tucked into her jeans. A pair of white Air Forces makes her appear a few inches taller. Her auburn hair is brushed back into a low ponytail.

       I am taken aback by her new style, but she still looks amazing nonetheless. Captivating me with her innocent look.

       "You look beautiful," I whisper and she returns a flushed smile.

       She closes the door behind her and then turns to me with a hopeful, cheeky smile.

       "Can I know where we are going?" She asks while biting down on her bottom lip.

       I shake my head and pull out of the satin blindfold tucked into my pocket. She raised an eyebrow both amused and confused by the object.

       "It's a surprise," I say as I put the blindfold over her eyes. "And it must remain a surprise until we get there. So, no peaking."

       She giggles as I tie the blindfold. I grab onto her hand and guide her out of the apartment building and into my car.

       Her excited smile causes my heart to flutter. The anticipation of her reaction fills my chest. I am praying she'll love it.
