Arielle bit her lip, of course a guy like Eric preferred expensive things.
"Don't worry I get it," She nodded and smiled at him.
Somehow she wanted to scream the truth but her father's words stopped her from doing.
"So what do you do?" She asked in order to get to know him better. "I mean what keeps you busy and such?" She sipped into her iced water and smiled as a waiter approached them and handed them each a menu.

She looked at the prices and was shocked to see it so expensive. Arielle decided to put it down and looked at Eric.
"Wow, I don't think I can afford their food here," She whispered towards Eric and intended not to let the waiter hear her sentiments.

"Nuh-uh," She shook her head vigorously and removed the cloth napkin from her lap. She pulled his hand and lead him away from the table. Arielle mischievously grinned at the waiter and rushed outside the restaurant with Eric in tow. Good thing he didn't trip or anything, for a small girl Arielle can pretty much pull a cow out of the field so Eric wasn't a problem.

Once they were out of the building, she was laughing and panting as she looked at Eric. "I'm not about to let you pay that much for something that can fill us up at a cheaper price," Her hands were on her knees as she tried to catch some breath while attempting not to laugh at her actions when something caught her eyes. A pizza parlor a block away from their location.

"I've got an idea Eric," She again pulled his hand, not thinking if he was tired from the run earlier, and wheezed among the busy pedestrians walking by the side walk. Green light, so Arielle didn't stop from running (with Eric in tow again) and stopped in front of a glass window. She could smell the meat toppings and cheese cooking with the freshly made dough. Yum... She has heard of New York's Finest but hasn't been able to actually get the finest. "Now this, this is lunch" She pushed open the heavy glass and metal door as the noise of people ordering, cashier dinging, and kitchen bustling welcomed them.

"So what do you think we should order?" She smiled at Eric while still catching her breath.

"Supreme it is then," She winked at Eric and lined up to the cashier for an order. She was pretty hungry, she barely ate her breakfast coz of too much nervousness. "How many slices do you think you can eat?" She looked up at Eric and thought on how many she eat herself when a service crew approached them with an order form in hand. "Good Morning to Luigi's. Sorry for the long line but I'm here to take your order so we can prepare them once you approach the cashier. So what can I get you guys?" The lady was in her late twenties and looked nice enough to accommodate them.

"I think I'll have three slices of the supreme and super sized coke. So how about you?" She grinned at Eric, hopefully he doesn't think she's a pig for eating that much.

Once they were seated on one of the tables, Arielle tried to see how Eric was enjoying his meal. She figured she is such a boring person to be with. If she understood him correctly, he is the type who enjoyed life. What can she possibly do or say that'll make him see that she is an interesting individual.

Ursula Black stepped out of the Corvette as the valet opened her door for her. Her uncle, Robert Mckinley- one of the proprietor of the biggest company in the country. She had decided to take a break from her vacation mode when he called her to take a job he had offered her. To be the face of the company. How can hard can it get.

She went pass by her uncle's secretary and went directly inside his office as his secretary followed her.
"Good afternoon Ms. Black. Your uncle has adviced me about your arrival. Is there anything I can offer you?" The woman who was in her late 20s asked.
"A caffe latte, no sugar would be lovely." she said without looking up from her phone as she started texting her friends about her arrival in NY.
"Right away."

She decided to give Eric a message as well. She loved seeing him when she's in town. The guy has that something that no guy can give no matter where she was. Maybe it was the thought of him trying to slip away from her, whatever it was Ursula loved chasing him.
