Kate arched a brow in his direction. She'd definitely been down this route before. Gorgeous overly confident man. Eyes and a smile to die for. It always led to trouble for her. And Kate hadn't been in trouble for a loooong time. Temptation was a bitch.
Instead, she ignored his statement regarding going after what he wanted, and pulled a top down from the rack in front of her. "Your mom may like this. It's from our Hampton line. You could accessories with a matching hat and purse." Moving throughout the store, she addressed his question, "Hmmm....I'm not sure about that one. Seems I have an evil twin out there." she said, implying he wasn't the first to recognize her from somewhere.

"Haha, cute." christian laughed, following her through the store. "No, I've seen yiur face before, I just can't out my finger on it...but I will." It almost sounded like a threat if not for the charm oozing from him. He paused to,look at the items she suggested for his mother and he nodded, seeming to study them but not really looking. "Sure, ring them up," he said, pulling out a credit card and handing it to her.
"do you think I could convince you to join me for a drink after work?" He asked, smiling.

Sure this guy was flirting and flashing his adorable dimpled smile but it still shocked her when he actually asked her out. She paused when he placed his credit card in her hand, their fingers touching. "What do you mean, like a date?"
She didn't even know this guy! She knew better than this, but there was something charming about him that made her very curious. Her cheeks flushed a shade of bright pink. "How do you know I'm not taken already?" she asked.

"Are you?" He asked her point blank. He lifted his eyebrows and grinned. "It never hurts to ask, right? I mean, worst thing you could say is you were taken and then I'd go on my Merry way. I'd be horribly embaressed, and I'd never be able to show my face again, but I'd get over it"
Of course he k ew she was t taken. Anyone who paid any attention to gossip around LA knew she wasn't taken, but again, he wasn't going to let on. He knew she was going to go for a drink with him and then he'd start getting the dirt from her...and if he managed to get more than just that? All the better. She was hot for someone her age and he kind of liked older chicks. They knew a lot more than girls his age.

Kate swiped his card and handed it back to him before sliding a pen in front of him so that he could sign the receipt. "No. I'm not..." she replied truthfully, putting the items into a plastic bag. "I suppose I see no harm in a drink or two. I can meet you somewhere. Do you have a place in mind?" She couldn't believe she was doing this.

Signing his name, he flipped the receipt over and scratched his cell number on it as well. "There's a place about two blocks from here. Low key, Not too noisy, private. Let's meet there. Fire me off a text when you're done, I'll probably be there doing some work." He rapped on the black leather laptop gag that held his iMac. "It'll be fun," he added, tossing out those dimples again.

Kate took the receipt from him and handed him his bag. Looking down at the phone number, a big part of her was telling her to stay away. Her life was uncomplicated right now. Complicated and boring. Did she really want to liven things up?
"Well... I'll think about it." she lied, "I'll let you know if I'll be there." Right now, she had every intention of meeting him later.

Taking his bag, Christian gave Kate wining and turned to walk towards the door. "I will see you later then, Kate." He replied, having all the confidence in the world that she would send him a text. What older woman wouldn't break down and take advantage of the young hottie Obviously offering to rock her world? And rock her world was exactly what he planned do, it would definitely mske getting information out of her all the easier. Once she got comfortable with him, he had no doubt he would start hearing the complaints and gossip about her famous ex, and he would finslly get the inner workings of one of the most elusive celebrities in LA.
He he didn't feel badly about it either. She would be getting something out of it too, so it was mutually beneficial. She would end up happy and satisfied, and he would end up with even more traffic to his already very busy website. Yep. It was a win-win for both.
