smell." He went off track as he took a short whiff of her long hair.
                  Marie stiffened and backed away from him a bit.
                  "You remember all of that?" She asked trying to seem like she didn't care while her heart beat rapidly in her chest.
                  "I remember everything." He whispered in a soft voice.
                  "I thought you wanted to see the farms." She said as she noticed how his eyes locked towards hers.
                  "Yes, to see the farms and to find out what the most beautiful woman in Texas has been up to." He said on purpose, knowing how much it bothered her.
                  "Very funny, none even remembers that anymore." She said, unsure of what she could tell him so that confident smirk on his face would be wiped away.
                  "Yea, but I remember, just like I remember everything else."
                  "Then I guess you remember how jealous you got when someone would tell me that." She said as she walked in front of him, not wanting to look him in the eyes.
                  "I'll admit that, it hurt at times as well."
                  "And you still continue to make fun of me for it?"
                  "What can I said? It's in my blood."
                  "Of course. Anyway, we should turn back now." She said as she felt unsure of being around him anymore.
                  "I was surprised when they told me that you agreed to sell your part of the company." He brought it up all of a sudden, thinking that it would be the perfect gateway to find out what happened to her fiancé.
                  "I didn't agree with it for a long time, but if I knew that they would send you to examine our company, then I would never have signed those papers." She admitted in one breath.
                  "You were always so forward." He said with a smile. Her words didn't hurt him because he knew that her emotions were taking over. "And I was surprised that you weren't married." He added quickly after.
                  Marie stopped and turned to face him.
                  "That's my business and you're kidding yourself if you think I'll tell you anything about it!" She said in a fit of rage.
                  "You're all red." He touched her cheek softly as she swatted his hand away. "Now you really look like a rose."
                  "Next time ..." She started, unsure of what to even tell him. She was so angry that she wished that she could just run away and disappear forever.
                  "Yea ..." He calmly waited for her to finish her sentence. He loved these moments, where she was completely and utterly speechless. She looked so beautiful to him at that moment that if it wasn't for his pride, he would bring her close to him, hug her and cover her in soft kisses.
                  "From now on, me and you only talk about business." She said as she pointed her finger towards him.
                  Nathan barely kept his laughter hidden, knowing that it would just push her further into rage.
                  The walk was over, he walked with her back home, watched her as she walked confidently and thought a bit about the days that passed him and a bit about the days that were coming.

                  The next day, Nathan and Marie pulled up into the parking lot at the same time. With a smirk on his face, Nathan got out of the car.
                  "Good morning, Marie." He said as he hurried to catch up to her.
                  "Good morning Mr. Greco." She said with a cold tone as she hurried her steps.
                  "Marie, you weren't actually serious when you told me that it'll be strictly business between us? The whole "Mr. Greco" thing sounds
