With a smile, the feeling of morning enthusiasm that Savannah always feels in each step into the elevator that will take her to the floor where the office was. But suddenly confronted by the languid and not excited face of the figure that had just entered simultaneously with the elevator door that immediately closed and brought the elevator headed for the thirty-fifth floor, with just two people in it inside. Savannah’s gaze that was originally staring at the figure the latter entered into in the elevator and was now standing right beside her, immediately making Savannah turned her head back and looked straight at the elevator door is right in front of it.
“You shouldn’t have ruined my feelings this morning who already feeling quite happy and excited, with a flat annoying face you.” The sneer that came out of Savannah’s mouth, made someone she was talking to just chimed in with a chuckle.
“It’s all because of a woman again and again, for the umpteenth time to break her promise date. Sounds annoying, right? And besides having to be made to wait for hours, the man also has to accept the fact that she apparently couldn’t make it.” The reply full of cynicism immediately made a sense of resentment Savannah overflows so quickly. And, this time also the woman able to spit out his anger right in front of the man with how dare he tease himself with such cynical words.
“Dylan, I’m busy! Do you know what time I left the building last night? Eleven. Where most people enjoy it already was on his bed, and had arrived in his own dreamland. Meanwhile, I can only breathe with relief after I’m so tired finish my work. And now you’re still protesting, at the moment last night I called you and explained the situation the real thing?” Savannah exclaimed, now putting her hands together that clenched, on the sides of each of his waist while giving sharp gaze to the man who is now still looking at her with a smile which always made her feel annoyed every time she saw him.
“Okay. I understand.”
“You don’t understand! If you did, you wouldn’t keep throwing protests and satire at me like before.”
“How is it that when you’re angry like this, you just get even more looking hot, Savee?”
A hug on the waist along with a low intonation of voice that rang in Savannah’s ears, much to the annoyance of earlier as soon as she mastered himself immediately evaporated somewhere. The woman’s shoulder previously tensed up with anger, in an instant instantly relaxed along with the calm feeling of the moment she heard a voice that seemed to calm her down.
“You’re seducing me?”
“I’m not seducing. It’s a fact and reality. You’re so hot, Savee.”

Fun, simple, and many other things that a woman likes about a man who loves her.
Yes, Dylan easily said that he loved Savannah ever since first sight. Since the woman started working at the company, Dylan had started to be crazy about Savannah. And up to two the years they knew each other, Dylan’s feelings never changed however in fact, he loves her even more. But, sadly it doesn’t Savannah think more. Savannah only saw Dylan as just a special friend. Not more than just friends, but the attitude of the two it’s already far from the word of just friend.
All of that because Savannah doesn’t want commitment problems there can always be misunderstandings in a relationship, that could be to the point of destroying a career with difficulty already the woman woke up to the point where she could work for an amazing company.

“I’ll replace it after this shift is over, okay?” say Savannah while placing both hands on the man’s firm shoulders her face which was quite taller than him, and slightly curled up his hand there.
“Hahh..., I bet you’ll deny it again.” Dylan replied with embarrassed.
“Hey, that sounds rough you know?”
“Don’t you like things that are rough?”
“That even sounds completely irrelevant.”
“Tonight, in my apartment?”
That invitation, like a signal where Dylan wanted to spend the night being with the woman he loved as he had often enough happened and passed it.
“Hmm..., I have to see my schedule first, okay?”
“You haven’t been to my apartment in a long time.”
“I’ll try, but I can’t promise. Because if I promise, I might let you down again.”
“Okay.”
“But I’m asking you not to get your hopes up, okay?”
“I’m used to that kind of thing. So, whatever the decision, tell me right away.”
“Okay.”
“Hey, by the way. Did I mention that this morning you were spotted so charming? Yellow, don’t you usually wear that color?” Comments Dylan while appraising the light yellow casual dress which was quite bright, that Savannah wore today to work.
“A. You haven’t told me that I look so good this morning. And, B. I’m in a very happy mood this morning. So, I decided to wearing this bright color.”
“What’s with your mood?”
“Just happy.”
“No reason?”
“Does everything that happens have to be based on a reason?”
“Not really.”
“Irritating!” Savannah’s sneer coincided with the elevator door opening where Dylan’s office floor is. “That’s your floor, see at lunch. You pay.”
“Okay. See you later.”
A quick peck Dylan gave Savannah’s lips, before kissing the man quickly stepped out of the elevator and left Savannah just smiled followed by the elevator door that went straight back closed.
