We had been playing games for a few hours now. We were playing football. Boys against girls and let me tell you. We were losing big time. I saw my phone ringing on the towel I had sat on earlier.

"I'll be back!"

"NO WE'LL LOOSE MISERABLY WITHOUT YOU!"

"YOU'LL SURVIVE MARIE!"

I ran to the towel a few feet away and kneeled down to grab my phone. I looked at the caller ID. Aaron. He's one of my financial managers. I had to pick this up so I did. I walked away to the sea side and let my feet play in the cold water while I talked to Aaron. There were problems again... problems we thought we had figured out already. I got pissed at the fact I couldn't do anything right away but tried to keep my calm. When I finished the call I rubbed my face and groaned. I felt a hand on my lower back and looked up to see Charles.

"Everything alright?"

"Yes everything is okay. Just work and those stupid problems again. Go play I'll be back in a little I just need to make 1 more call for now okay?"

"They want to wait for you... so we'll wait."

"No go ahead I'll just come as quick as possible."

"It's no big deal. We were thirsty anyway."

"Thanks."

I made my call and it took around 10 minutes to finish up what I needed really quick. When I was done I went back and we went to the imaginary field. The girls and I were in a tiny circle.

"We need something to win this."

"Yes I know."

"Any ideas?"

"I have an idea!"

"Well spill it Marta!"

"Aleina take off your shirt."

"Sorry? Take off my shirt?"

"Yes! Charles keeps staring at you. But if you take off your shirt he won't be able to look away even a split second. Come on girly! Take one for the team."

"Oh I'm in."

"Yes!"

I took my shirt off and threw it to the side. We immediately heard voices of the boys.

"NO THAT'S CHEATING! YOU KNOW CHARLES CAN'T FOCUS NOW!"

"IT'S NOTHING HE HASN'T SEEN BEFORE!"

I yelled back and I saw the red color coming back to his face. The guys said something to him and then he took off his shirt as well. Holy mother of Jesus. He's saying I'm a Greek goddess but in the meanwhile he's a Greek god himself. I shook it off which went really well luckily. I gave him a smirk and he knew very well that I knew I had an effect on him.

"I've never seen him blush like that..."

A silent voice came from besides me... Charlotte.

"He really likes you... be careful with that and don't be stupid and lose it."

"I won't..."

I looked at the monegasque with green eyes across the field and gave him a soft smile even though his eyes probably never left my body. My head turned when I heard Marta her voice.

"Damn your body looks like the one of a Victoria secret model!"

"Thank you but I think you would look even better in a bikini."

The girls really started liking me and if I had to be honest... I liked them too... a lot. We started playing the second half of the game. The guys had only 2 points more then us so with our new strategy of me playing without a shirt we would definitely win and we did. It was a tie at this moment and we were close to scoring again in the last 2 minutes. I felt an arm wrap around my stomach and almost throw me away.

"HEY THAT'S CHEATING!"

Charles laughed as he had now caught the ball. I ran back after him and made him trip by placing my foot in front of his. I played the ball to Charlotte who scored the last point. Just in time for the alarm. We had won. I held out my hand for Charles and helped him up as he was now a little sandy. His shirt was still off and I looked at his and before looking up.

"I saw that."

"Mhm and I saw that you couldn't keep your eyes off me so I guess we're even."

He chuckled softly as we walked to the place the rest was as well. I pulled on my shirt... Charles his shirt. I felt my hair being pulled out from my shirt and I was certain it was Charles. His hand came against my neck slightly and the soft and warm skin told me enough.

"Thank you baby."

I styled my shirt again and then sat down on the towel where Charles had sat down a few seconds before me.

"You said Ferrari had an offer for me but I haven't looked into it... so you know what about?"

"About one of your softwares. They want you to give them 50% of your normal price in return for your logo on the car and suits."

"Oh I think I've seen that yes. I send it through to one of my financial directors to see if they think it's something we have a profit from as well."

"Wait I heard 'your softwares'... I'm still searching for a good software because I'm still waiting for a company to react."

"Her softwares are the best. There's a waiting list for them."

"They aren't the best... they're okay I guess."

"They are the best."

"What's your company? I'll look it up when I'm home. So I can take a look."

"Ancel Tech."

"No your joking. I'm on the waiting list for their software."

"Really? Text me the details and I'll see if I can get you to be at the top of the waiting list."

"I will thank you."

"That's not a problem."

Ricardo was smiling at the fact he could be at the top of the waiting list. We talked for a while on the beach before going back to the beach house. We would be going out for dinner tonight so it was important to dress up a little. I had done my research on the restaurant luckily so I was all prepared with my clothes.
