CHAPTER XVII

THURSDAY
————————————————————

THE DAY ENDED QUICKLY, maybe because I was so determined to get home in order to get ready for my date tonight.

I managed to type so much today that my fingers are sore, but regardless of my pain, Eric is happy with my work ethic.

I slipped my coat on and grabbed my bag, practically running out of the building, I didn't even say goodbye to Nanami.

Suguru helped me pick what I should wear and gave me advice on how I should act and what I should do in certain scenarios.

My drive home was full of adrenaline, I might as well start breaking the law by speeding because of how fucking excited I am.

The guy who monitors the underground parking at my apartment had never seen me park and run out of my car in such a rush, and I didn't even have the time to explain to him that I was going on an official date with Gojo Satoru.

A vogue model by the way.

The elevator ride was slow, but the run to my apartment door wasn't, and once I got in I threw all of my belongings on the couch and rushed to my closet, where I took the time to pick out my outfit.

For once, I actually put music on and had it playing through my speaker while I got ready.
I even had music on while I showered.

Once I was dressed, I spent the rest of my time fixing my appearance and perfecting my hair.

Before I knew it, it was almost eight and it was time for me to grab a purse, and my coat and disconnect my phone from my speaker.

I sat on my phone for a few minutes, replying to any unread messages and then there was a ring at my doorbell.
I happily walked over to it and opened it, and in front of me was an even more stunning version of the man I'd been seeing every single day for the last week.

White collared shirt, black jeans with a belt, a brown coat and those signature sunglasses.
And his cologne is much stronger than usual.

In his hand was a bouquet of flowers, and he handed them to me after taking a good look at me.

He snaked his hand around the back of my waist and pulled me closer to kiss him, and my lips curled into a smile while it happened.

"Thank you for the flowers Satoru." I looked at them in awe.

"Anything for you, Angel. Ready to go?" he asked me and I nodded, but first I put the flowers in a vase of water on my kitchen counter.

I came back to him and he took my coat from the rim of my couch and held it up for me to slip into, and I held my purse in my hands.

He held the door open for me and let me out, but I still had to lock up my apartment.

We stood in the elevator together, my arm around his and he had his hands in his pockets.

"You look fucking stunning for tonight, you sure I should take you out looking like this?" he joked with me and I leant my head against his shoulder, with a chuckle.

We walked out together and he led me out of the reception towards his car, which was parked right in front. In the VIP parking.

I looked up at him with a raised eyebrow and he winked at me, opening the passenger door for me to enter.

He got in and began driving, and the car wasn't silent, we spoke about work and the recent Suguru drama with his girlfriend.

To make it clear, I didn't know he had a girlfriend, I would have never let him call me that in the first place if I knew. Even though he still calls me gorgeous, I can tell he hasn't done it as much since Satoru entered the picture.

"Where's Megumi tonight?" I asked him and he looked over to me with a slight smirk on his face.
"He's with friends, so I get the house to myself tonight." he leant back in his chair.

The car came to a halt and Satoru got out of the car in order to open the door for me to step out.
He took my coat that hung over my seat and carried it for me while he held my hand.

We entered the restaurant together and he spoke to the woman who was at the reception and she guided us to a table.

Satoru pulled out the chair for me to sit down and he hung my coat over the back of it.
And he dittoed for himself.

He still had his sunglasses on while being inside but I didn't mention it, because I didn't want to be rude.

We were handed menus, but they didn't have prices on them, which made me confused and I looked at Satoru for an explanation.

"What? The prices? Oh, that's just how they do it at places like this." he chuckled and put the menu down.

"I think I'm just going to get their course for tonight, seems pretty good." he put his elbows on the table and held his head up with his hands.

"I think I'll do the same...it sounds appealing." I closed the booklet and put it aside, then I looked over to Satoru with a smile.

"So...I heard that Eric credited you for your work." he took my hand and held it.

"First time ever, luckily he's gone soon." shook my head with a chuckle, thinking of the many years I had worked in that office and not once was I praised for my work.

I looked over to Satoru and decided to ask him the question that had been lingering in my mind since I met him.

"Satoru, what do you actually do? How did you make this money." I tried to be cautious with my words in order to not deter him.

"Well...a lot of it is family wealth, some is from businesses, and just from other work I've done." he sounded proud of himself.

"Like?" I asked again.

"Well I used to work full time at the high school Megumi used to go to, to got paid pretty well for that, and then I did some modelling gigs, and my businesses are another thing," he said casually while looking at his nails.

"You worked at the high school? Doing what?" I was pretty impressed with his answer.
"I was a teacher, in the martial arts sector mainly." he smiled at me.

WHO IS THIS GUY?
