Earned it

Chapter 2

Ichigo's POV

The taxi pulled up in front of large skyscraper like building. I stepped out of the taxi and payed the man his money. He pulled of leaving me to stand in front of the large building, standing in awe. I finally got ahold of myself and began to step foward onward to the building. Stepping inside, everything there seemed to have amazed me. The windows were large and very pristine. You could look right through them and see cyrstal clear right through the other side. I turned from the window and looked at the inside. It had baby blue furniture with glass tables. It was honestly a sight to see. Never really seen anything like it. I looked around, trying to find the reception desk to ask for directions. I found the desk and a small lady with dark brown hair tied in a bun and a shaky voice sat there and spoke.

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Can you tell me where to find Mr. Jagearjaquez?" I said as I took another quick look around the room that surrounded me,

"Take the elevator to the top floor sir, its the only room up there."

She smiled and pointed me in the direction in which I followed. When I got in the elevator I sat in there for quite a while. It was a while before I got to the top. As soon as the elevator door opened my stomach flooded with butterflies, all while my face went pale. I was nervous. Extremely at that. The last time I saw this guy, he punched me in my face, and for no apparent reason at that. My hands began to shake as I stood there, helplessly. Finally I got ahold of myself and slowly walked towards the door. And with that.... I opened it. Peeking through ever so slowly I built up the courage to fully step in the room. I froze due to what stood right in front of me. A man who was tall. Around 6'2 to be specific. He had a light blue button up on with three buttons at the top undone. Due to his fairly large build you could see the creases in his arms from his muscles right through the fairly small shirt. He had tight black slacks on and shiny black dress shoes. He had a beautiful cerlan blue hair with closely matching blue eyes. He looked at me and smiled.

"Im guessing yer' here about the job spread in the paper."

I looked down at my feet and spoke softly.

"Y-Yeah...I could use a j-job like this one...."

My words began to trail of as I continued to look at the ground. I was scared. Terrified in fact. Then he bent over slightly to meet my eye level. My eyes grew wider as his face was now close to mine.

"Don't I know ya from somewhere?"

He looked at me puzzled and began to examine my face.

"I've seen the orange hair from somewhere. I believe it was high school. Did we go to the same high school?"

"Y-Yes I Believe that w-we did... You were in a majority of m-my classes... And you...."

My words trailed off again and I began to regret the sentence that I had started.

"I remember you now," Grimmjow said with a voice filled with remorse and regret.

"You were the one that I-"

I stopped him mid sentence. His eyes looked sad and I couldn't bear to see someone upset. Not even him. Even though I was slightly scared of him, I didn't Believe he deserved to be unhappy.

"G-Grimmjow! I mean Mr. Jaegerjaquez...Don't worry a-about it. In fact I've forgotten all about it...It's totally fine.. I'm not the type to hold a grudge anyway.

Before I could look away, I felt a large powerful hand grip me up by the front of my shirt. Next thing you knew I was centimeters away from the larger man's body.

"Don't you dare say that! It's not okay for to let someone get away with the way I treated you.... I was a jerk to you high school....And that only I shouldn't be allowed to get away with! I'm not asking for some wierd ass punishment or anything... I'm just saying that I'd rather earn your forgiveness. That's the least I could do....Ichigo.."

I was in total shock, I honestly couldn't believe what I just heard. It all sounded so sincere. I could feel the emotion be felt while saying it. I could even here the crack in his voice as if he were about to cry. I felt my heart break because I hate to see sadness. His words honestly moved me, but I wasn't one to ask for redemption. In this very moment, I just wanted him to smile again. The large man stood with his head hung low. All I could do was sit there for the time being and think about how I could put his mind at ease.

"Don't I still have to finish an interview with you M-Mr. Jagearjaquez?"

He looked back up from the ground with a dull expression. When he caught eye of my worried expression, he changed his look from dull to slightly surprised.

"No need to call me Mr. Jagearjaquez, just call me Grimmjow."

He shot a smile at me but I couldn't believe that he was legitimately happy.

"By the way...Ichigo, no need to finish this interview. You can start tomorrow. Come back up here at 11:00am, okay?"

My face lit up a bright red and a large smile danced across my face. I couldn't believe I got the job, I can't explain how happy I was.

"A-Arigato Grimmjow! This is very much appreciated."

His face dusted a light pink when I finished my sentence, but from the looks of it, it went away quickly. To be honest I don't know what I said the get him all flustered.

"I'll see you tomorrow then...Ichigo."
