"Huh?" The grumpy look remained on Ari's face. "She can't. We're very behind with coming up with the new scent, so we're staying overtime tonight," he snapped.

Sorry Becca and Ari but I am laughing too xD]]
Ari sent Ness a glare as the man left the room, and couldn't help but feel relieved as he left as well. With a light sigh he pretended to return to the notes, waiting to see if Becca was going to say anything.

Ari jumped slightly at Becca's sudden question, even though he was completely expecting it. He turned around to face her but couldn't quite make eye contact. "I was telling the truth. We should have decided on a scent by now, and we haven't yet," he said, hoping she would buy it.

"Like I said, we haven't completely decided yet," Ari insisted, crossing his arms as well. After the barrage of questions he turned away slightly and almost seemed to shrink in on himself. He exhaled, and decided honesty was the best policy here. "No, the perfume, it... it wore off before I kissed you..." he murmured. The blush returned to his face as his voice trailed off.

Ari averted his gaze even more, and ran a hand through his hair. "I... I don't know," he huffed.

Ari's hands rested on his knees, and he sat staring at them for a while. Suddenly they tightened into fists and he took in a deep breath of determination before looking straight at Becca. "That was a lie. Becca, I..." His mouth opened, but sound did not come out immediately. This is a lot harder to say than I thought... Another deep breath, then it all flowed out at once. "Becca I think I love you."

]] Ari spun around and glared at the door even though he knew Ness wasn't standing there. I swear one of these days... He quickly shook the thoughts away, revenge was unbecoming of him.

Sorry about that! I was working on something else at that time last night >_<]] I like the idea!]]
Ari watched her go with a slightly pained look on his face. "Becca wait - !" It was too late. He let out a defeated sigh and slumped down in his chair. "Now how am I going to fix this?" he muttered.

Ari was holding his face in his hands when the perfume bumped into him. He glanced at it before picking it up and studying it intently. Maybe Becca would forgive him if he could perfect the perfume today...? Hesitantly he removed the bottle stopper and gave it a sniff. He felt it was missing something, and went searching through the ingredient storage. After about an hour he found the combination he liked and took in one last whiff as a test. "This is it," he said, suddenly feeling a burst of confidence. He stuck the bottle in the pocket of his lab coat and rushed out of the building.

Ari had visited Becca once before, and managed to find where he had written down her address. Once he arrived at her house he marched up to the front door and gave a loud knock. "Becca? Are you home?" he called.

Ari raised an eyebrow. That's weird. He sighed. I can't believe I'm doing this. "Becca? Your door is unlocked..." he called one more time before slowly pushing it open. He stepped inside and looked around. "Becca?"

Ari spotted the footprints and after a moment of hesitation began to follow them. He stopped when they led to a closed bedroom door and he knocked again. "Becca? Are you in there?" he asked softly. "Sorry I let myself in... your door was open, and I got worried..."

Ari's heart gave a little flutter just from hearing Becca say his name, giving him a little more of a confidence boost. "May I come in? I need to talk to you, it's about earlier."

Ari's heart pounded when he heard the answer, and he reached to open the door. He stepped inside, only then noticing that he hadn't even changed out of his lab coat when he rushed out after her. He cleared his throat before speaking. "I would like to apologize for blurting out those words earlier today, and for how I've treated you so coldly before... It wasn't very fair to you." He paused, and then focused his gaze on Becca. "However, I cannot lie to myself any longer. I don't know how long I've had these feelings, but they are real. Becca, I love you. I know that for certain now.
