sanzu haruchiyo, a criminal and a member of bonten just opened up his own business, an underground fight club. as his business expands day by day, this gorgeous woman walks into the club with a flyer in her hand.
little did he know, this woman is go...
"Ready?" Suki ask and I push myself off the hood of my car. She stops before me, scan my outfit then gives me an approving nod, "Yeah." I answer back with a grin.
I wasn't able to ask Hanae to be my date to my sister's party so I asked Suki instead. "Let's go then." She opens the door to the passenger side and I walk over to the driver side.
I start up the car and grasp onto the shift gears, "What's this party for?" She asks. "For reaching 1 million subscribers on YouTube." I answer.
Her eyes light up with excitement, "Wait, who's your sister? I might be a subscriber!"
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
We exit from the car and glance at the line for the main entrance, "Let's go through the back door." I point at the back. Suki follows me from behind and we managed to get in with no trouble since Ran owns this place. "I can't believe I am going to meet my favorite influencer." Suki squeals.
Earlier, she indeed checked her subscribers list when I told her my sister's name. When we reached upstairs to the VIP Suite, I greeted Ran's two best guards.
"Come on in, sir." They both open the double doors for us. The smell of sweat, alcohol, and cigarettes greets us when we enter.
The LED lights flashes in the center of the room where a private DJ plays some random songs for the crowd. Some people are dancing on stage and there's a few pole dancers performing to keep the audience entertained.
Ran really did a good job with the interior design. "Oh Sanzu!" My sister Senju calls out for me as she jogs up to me.
She embrace me into her arms then pull away, "Oh, are you his date? You're beautiful!" She compliments Suki.
Suki's eyes grow wide and she grins widely, "I am a big fan of yours! Congratulations on hitting 1 million subscribers!" She pulls Senju into a hug.
Senju nervously laugh and glares at me as I shrug. "I will be back." I mouth at Senju as she swat me away in defeat.
I take a seat at the bar and order a glass of bourbon whiskey. Once it's served, I take a sip out of it and lift it up to examine the ice.
I start to doze off until a blob of pretty sparkling blue color catches my attention. Confusion hit me like a truck and I start to wonder if it was behind me. It wasn't, it was in front of me.
I lower the glass and look ahead of me, it was her.
Sapphire.
She is walking down the stairs with a glass of cocktail in her hand. Her long black hair in loose curls, her dangling earrings matches her blue short dress and Senju is approaching her.
"Where did you go?" Senju asks. Sapphire smiles at her and it felt as if she pulled a heart string to my heart.
Her smile is mesmerizing, "I went for a breather." She answers. My eyes trail from her hair to her heels. Gosh, she's everything I want in a woman.
I chug my whiskey down effortlessly and follow her out of the VIP Suite room. "I'll be back." She says to my sister after giving her drink to my sister.
When I went to the rooftop for fresh air, I swear I saw a glimpse of Hanma entering the club. Now that he is here, I have to discuss with him about my new identity.
Right when I exit the VIP Suite room, I see the familiar man Sanzu beat up a couple of days ago at the Fight Club.
His head wrapped in bandages and he is on crunches this time but he isn't alone. I halt in my steps and turn back around.
In a rush, I try to dash back to the room but a strong hand pull me into a dark room. "Who are you-" Before I could finish, they place a hand over my mouth.
"They'll hear us." Confusion written on my face as I try to remember this familiar voice, but once I take a sniff at their cologne, I could recognize them immediately.
"Sanzu? What are you doing here?" I push his hand away from my face. "How could you tell?" He asks then shakes his head.
"Protecting you." He answers as he opens the door a little bit to peek at the gap. "I don-" Before I could finish, he cut me off.
"I don't need your help." He mocks me in my high pitched voice. Now it's silent bwtween us and I couldn't help but let out a quiet laugh, "What was that for?"
He stare at me, shocked with what I just did. "You laughed." He mentioned. I bit my lower lip from embarrassment, "Don't keep your hopes up. It's only going to be once." I snapped back to my emotionless self and cross my arms over my chest as I glare at him.
Our eye contact hold and he takes a step towards me, "Don't look at me like that." He says. Was that a threat?
I tilt my head from confusion and a boost of confidence rush through my body, "Why not? What are you doing to do if I don't stop?" I ask.
Due to little lighting, it's hard to tell how he is feeling but he didn't need it. His eyes are already telling me something.
His eyes darken as if it's undressing me. His hand cups my chin as the other free hand snakes around my waist to pull me closer to his body, "I won't be able to control myself if you keep staring at me like that, Sapphire." He whispers into my ear.
He place gentle kisses on my shoulder blade and it made me shiver in place. Why does it feel so good? "So tell me to stop now or I won't hold back." His hand finds the zipper to my dress and he slowly unzips. "Do you want me to stop?"
