    “ That’s much better I don’t know what made me think that I could do this without you. And I really like the name London chose for the kids line Bambini Carini , (cute kids). Anyway thanks Toni I know you have a lot of work to do.” Daniele said with appreciation for all the hard work she does.
    “No problem we can tweak it a bit more before we finalize it but at least now you have an idea of what it should look like. Just make sure that each suggested description corresponds with a photo of that brand so that the reader will have a visual to go along with the words.” She said glancing up at him as he stood leaning over her shoulder.
    “Are you kidding I’m not going to touch any of the changes you just made as always you’ve done a great job. I guess I should let you get to work on the spring budget before you contemplate strangling me for distracting you.” He said teasingly as he smiled at her.
    “Its fine I’m almost done with my part of the budget anyway Gabe will handle the big stuff. All I had to do was the marketing budget for this season, so we’re good.” She said.
    “Good so does that mean you aren’t going to strangle me?” He teased as he stared into her eyes.
    “No you’re off the hook for now but maybe next time.” Toni teased back as she returned his gaze.
    “Do you know how badly I want to kiss you right now don’t worry I know that you’d slap me into next week. But would it be okay with you if I gave you a quick kiss on the cheek?” He asked nervously waiting for her answer.
    Toni thought about his request for a moment before slowly nodding her head yes. As he moved his face closer to hers she closed her eyes and held her breath. When his soft lips made contact with her warm cheek a tidal wave of emotions flooded her senses. Although the kiss was brief it would have a lasting effect on her.
    When Toni opened her eyes Daniele’s face was a few mere inches from hers, he smiled.
    “ You’re not thinking about hitting me are you?” He asked jokingly hope to get her to smile. It worked she smiled brightly as she gazed back at him.
    “No I’m not going to hit you, besides that kiss was so brief I barely felt anything.” She said trying to sound as if feeling his lips against her skin had no effect on her.
    “It may have been brief but you definitely felt something, why else would you be trembling and I can hear you heart pounding. I’m hoping that those are all positive signs.” He whispered sweetly.
    Toni shivered slightly as his warm breath feathered across her cheek, she fought hard to contain the smile that threatened to claim her lips. “We’ll just have to see now won’t we?” She whispered back.
    “Hey at least you didn’t say no, so that gives me a little hope that you’re open to the possibility of us being together.” He said close to her ear.
    “Let’s just wait and see what happens, I can’t promise you when I’ll be ready to be intimate with you or anyone else but I am willing to take it slow and see where it leads us. That’s only if you’re sure you can accept what I’m willing to offer you for now.” She said softly and waited for his reply.
    “I’m willing to accept whatever you’re willing to offer because you mean that much to me. I won’t rush you into anything you just let me know what you want from me and I’ll make it happen.” He said in response.
    “I tell you what give me a couple of hours to finish my budget report and then you can take me to lunch.” She suggested with a smile.
    He wasted no time accepting her invitation. “It would be my pleasure to take you to lunch.”
    “Good because I should be pretty hungry by the time I finish this report.” She teased.
    “Well I’ll get out of your way so that you can get your work done. I’ll be back to pick you up in a couple of hours.” He said with excitement.
    “You really don’t have to do that I can just meet you at the café when I’m finished.”
