ISABELLA POV
“Lost, lost in the heat of it all,” I mumbled, singing along with Frank Ocean as i stocked the shelf in front of me.
The door bell rang and i turned to see no other than the boss walk in, looking just as hot. He took his shades off and looked around before landing his eyes on me. I blushed at being caught staring before focusing on the shelves.
“Go attend to him, everyone else is busy.” Mia walked past me with customers following her. I looked around the store and frowned when i confirmed that i truely was the only employee available.
I sighed and stood up. I dusted my clothes and walked over to where he was looking at some mufflers. I went and stood next to him before gulping. Should i thank him? Or should i ignore the matter and just focus on what he’s looking for? I went with the second one.
“Hi there! I’m Izzy. How can i assist you today?” I asked, using the phrase i said to every customer. He turned his head a bit, only to make eye contact for a brief two seconds before looking at the mufflers again.
“I know who you are, Izzy.” When he said my name, it made me shiver in pleasure.
“Alright then. You know me but i don’t even know your name.” I stated, crossing my arms over my chest.
“Dazz,” He mumbled, reaching for a muffler. I nodded and turned back to the mufflers. “What would you recommend for my chopper?” He asked, putting the muffler back.
I smirked, “Well, if i were you, i would buy this one because not only does it look good but it runs smoothly and doesn’t make too much noise. I hate the ones that sound too loud. Makes the bike seem old.” I shrugged, watching as he raised an eyebrow.
He picked the muffler i pointed out and put it under his arm. “Can you show me where the spray cans are?” He asked, looking at me. I nodded and started walking.
It made me smile how he immediately picked the muffler i chose instead of arguing about it or saying i was wrong. He just picked it up and got ready to go. He pays for my rent and also chooses what i pick?
I stopped in front of the shelves with all the spray cans and sighed.
“What would you recommend?” He asked, staring at the cans.
“For your chopper, hmmmm... i guess a dark blue would suit.” He nodded and picked up a test paper before turning to me.
“I’d like to buy this and get my bike spray painted this,” He motioned to all the stuff in his hands and i nodded. I led him to the counter and typed up my employee number before swiping his muffler.
“I’ll have to call Tony so he can tell you about the paint,” I stated, throwing a thumb over my shoulder. He nodded and turned around and started to walk towards Tonys office. I knocked twice and entered. I informed him and he nodded before following me.
“Ahh, Dazz. Is this for your chopper again?” Tony asked, shaking hands with Dazz. They knew each other and he said again which means Dazz had come here before. If he knew where the spray cans were, why did he ask me?
I stood behind Tony and stared at Dazz. “Yeah, i need a change.” Dazz shrugged, moving his gaze to meet mine. This time i didn’t look away but i gave him a questioning look. I have noticed that he hardly smiles. “I want this muffler installed and it painted this colour.” He pointed to the items making Tony nod.
“You can pick it up tomorrow?”
Dazz nodded, “Just no scratches. I won’t hesitate to fire you and your staff if i find even one scratch on my baby.”
Tony gulped, “Yes boss.” With that said, Tony took the items to the back. I came and stood in his place before staring at Dazz. He was staring back at me.
“You own this place too?” I questioned, making him nod. “So why did you need my help?”
“I wanted your opinion.” He shrugged. I huffed and decided i should thank him now.
“Hey, uhm i just wanted to say thanks for the whole rent thing,” I moved my gaze and focused on anything but him. I hate saying thank you and apologizing!
“It’s no problem. Soon you’ll be living with me so you won’t need to worry about any of that.” My eyes went wide and i stared at him. He didn’t look affected by what he just said which made my eyes go wider.
“Excuse me?” I asked, hoping i heard him wrong.
“Just stating the facts,” He shrugged, putting hands behind his head. He stretched and i couldn’t help but stare at his muscles as he did that. They were huge! But not too huge like a body builder but huge enough to know that he could protect you from anyone and any thing. When he was done, i saw something that i had never saw before!
He smiled.
Well he smirked actually but it was close enough! I grinned, feeling as though i had accomplished my biggest dream.
“Anywho, what you got planned tonight?” He suddenly asked, making my grin drop.
“Uhh, nothing. Why?” I was panicking now. I knew what he was going to say next and i had no idea to what i would say to him.
“Wanna chill with me?” It was as close to “Wanna go out” as i would take so i gaped at him. This greek god wants to take me out?! How the hell did i score this? How is it even possible!
But should i say yes? Or no? I mean, he could be one of those creeps that lead you on only to murder you in the middle of the night but he didn’t seem like that. He actually seemed like a nice guy – besides from the fact that he never smiles – and i wouldn’t mind him taking me out.
“Yeah, sure.” I whispered, blushing lightly.
“Sweet, i’ll pick you up at six.” I looked up in time to see him lean in and kiss my cheek. I didn’t expect it and blushed like crazy! A bad ass man yet very charming.
I held my cheek and watched him walk out of the store. When he was out, i let out a sigh. Six o’clock, here i come! I looked at the clock and groaned, two o’clock with three hours until i’m off.

“Oh man!” I yelled, throwing clothes everywhere. I have no clue what to wear! A dress? Jeans and a tee? Or shorts maybe? I groaned and fell onto my bed. Half an hour until he comes.
I bet he’s going to wear his same old combat boots, dark jeans and a tee. Too bad i couldn’t just do that. Hold up- i bet i can! I bought some combat shoes last year and i have a nice hoodie i can wear.
I got up and found my combat boots, black skinny jeans and a dark gray hoodie. I smiled and threw them on before leaving my hair out but parting it from the side. As soon as i touched my make up bag, there was a knock on the door.
I cussed and quickly grabbed my bag before making my way to the door. I probably won’t look too good because i’m not wearing any make up!
I opened the door and smirked. He was dressed just as i expected but he wore a white tee with a baggy leather jacket with a hood connected. He stared at me, his lips parted. I blushed as he looked me over and then smiled when his eyes met mine. They looked satisfied which made me give out a sigh of relief.
