CHAPTER FOURTEEN
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃
'Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god!' Itachi panics while swiftly making his back to the bookstore.
Finally reaching there he stops to take a few deep breaths. He looks at the door, only to notice the sign had been flipped to 'closed'. Itachi panics even more but couldn't help but be confused, seeing how the store wasn't locked and still had all the lights on.
'Did something happen?'
He opens the door and makes his way inside. He couldn't see Jiraya at the counter where he usually is, which make Itachi think, did Jiraya actually leave with the woman earli—
"Welcome back!" A voice chirps from behind him, which makes Itachi's heart leap out of his chest with shock. He turns around to see Jiraya seated on a chair...right beside the door.
'How did I not notice him?!' Itachi screams in his mind.
Meanwhile, Jiraya gives Itachi a —fake— smile as the raven-haired male sweats profusely at the tension.
"Where were you?" Jiraya asks with a sickeningly sweet voice.
"On my break..." he cautiously replies.
"You were gone for more than an hour...Just what were you doing? More so you even forgot your phone here, so I couldn't even call you."
Jiraya often acts as a father to Itachi despite him not being that much older than the young man. Itachi is 24 whereas Jiraya is 45.
Never mind, he actually is old enough to be his father.
