  &quot;Care to tell me why you're kidnapping me at office hours for no apparent reason?&quot; I asked once I was seated in the passenger seat. I looked up at the bright sun scorching down at us, right above our heads.
  He shut my door for me while looking around sneakily.
  &quot;I'm taking you on a date.&quot; He whispered into my open window.
  &quot;Right now? Aren't you supposed to be working?&quot;
  &quot;Is what your parents think but I already told my manager to clear my schedule from this afternoon.&quot;
  He rounded to the driver's seat and slid in.
  &quot;Wow. You chose something else over work? That's new. That's good. You should do that every now and then.&quot;
  &quot;Yeah, it was you who has made me want to not be in my office lately. I'm yet to decide if it's a good thing.&quot; He said, pulling away from the house.
  &quot;It is. There was going to be a breaking poi

  &quot;I'm hungry too, you know. And I can't eat while I'm driving.&quot; Ethan said as soon as we were on the road again.
  He eyed the food in my hands as its delectable aroma spread throughout the car. He licked his lips and turned back to face ahead.
  &quot;I know. I've an idea. Let's go to the cliff where we used to go when we were kids.&quot;
  &quot;You want to eat there? I don't know, it's gotten dark now.&quot; He said, looking out his window at the setting sun and dark clouds.
  &quot;You took me there on my birthday at four am.&quot; I deadpanned.
  &quot;We weren't there to have dinner that night.&quot;
  &quot;Doesn't matter. Take us there.&quot;
  &quot;As you wish, master. Any other orders?&quot;
  I lightly shoved his shoulders, enough to not distract him while he was driving. &quot;Hey, I never ordered you.&quot;
  &quot;Well you sounded pretty demanding.&quot;

  We immediately sprung apart from each other. I couldn't stop staring at her while Ethan started scratching at the wall with his finger as if examining and finding some fault in the layout of the wall or the paint.
  &quot;God, I'll be late. I need to have breakfast.&quot; He said and briskly climbed down the stairs.
  Samara shook her head and she closed her mouth. She looked down and gasped.
  &quot;I'm so sorry.&quot; She said, bending down to hastily pick up the broken pieces.
  I walked towards her and crouched next to her. &quot;It's okay.&quot; I said although I wasn't sure if it was. I didn't know how much this antique piece must have cost.
  We awkwardly began piling pieces together even though she said that I shouldn't.
  &quot;Samara, about what you saw, can you not tell anyone about it?&quot;
  &quot;I saw nothing. Don't worry.&quot;
  &quot;Thanks.&quot;
  &quot;It's just t
