CHAPTER XX
————————————————————
FRIDAY
————————————————————

I SAT IN FRONT OF THE IMAC FOR A FEW HOURS, working mindlessly while Satoru managed to catch up with everything he had been meaning to do.

Examples include:
He made us breakfast, cleaned the kitchen, fixed the lounge, his bedroom, the office, the bathrooms, and the guest rooms, he vacuumed, began preparing lunch, worked out, did actual work, and watched an episode of Ozark.

This man can do everything I fail to do in a single week in just a few hours, and it amazes me.

I finished up my report and sent it to Eric, after that I switched the computer off and arose from my chair with a stretch.

"Done with work, Angel?" he asked with an excited smile and I nodded, walking over to him, who was lying on the floor rolling his spine on something exercise-related.

He sat up and pulled me down to sit with him, and he held my hand between us.

"I was bored without you." he pouted and I chuckled at his words, and I leaned my forehead on his.

"I'm pretty tired...what time do we have to pick up Megumi?" I asked and he pondered for a bit while staring blankly at his watch.

"In a few hours...why don't we go lie down." he picked himself up and let out a hand for me to take.
I took his hand and stood next to him, and then I followed him to the lounge.

He sat down on the large couch and patted next to him as he rested his feet on the ottoman.
He pulled a blanket over his legs and brought me into it.

We sat together, comfy on the couch while I stared out the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He grabbed the TV remote and switched it on, and he quickly put on a pair of blue ray glasses.

I rested my head against his shoulder, trying to pay attention to the TV, but felt myself drifting into sleep.

I woke up in the same position I fell asleep in, next to Satoru with my head on his shoulder.
He was still sleeping, and I took my time to adjust to my surroundings and properly wake up.

I slipped out of his grasp and silently walked to his office in order to retrieve my phone to check the time.

It was the afternoon, the thought of picking up Megumi came back to me and so I walked back to the couch.
I slid next to him and held his body close to mine in order to wake him up so we could go pick up his son.

I kissed the top of his head and rubbed my thumb against his shoulder.
His eyes opened and once he identified me, a smile was clear on his lips.

"Hello, handsome." I smiled back at him and he looked even more pleased, so much so that he put more of his body weight on me.

"How'd you sleep, Angel?" he asked and I told him that it was good, which was the truth.

"What's the time?" he asked me while sitting up properly and rubbing his temples.

"Afternoon, we should get ready to pick Megumi up from school." I ran my hand through his hair, smiling sweetly at him.

"Alright, Angel, let's get ready." he pulled my waist closer to him and kissed me before getting up from the couch in order to get dressed to go out.

He walked to his room and I followed him, sitting on his bed while I watched him pick out something to wear.

"Should I get changed? All I have is my dress from last night." I chuckled and he turned to look at me.

"That dress is for me to see, not for the teenagers at Megumi's high school. You look perfect as is, just don't forget to take your coat." he took his shirt off and changed into a fresh one.

"You have a point, I don't need more eyes on me." I chuckled and lay back on the bed.

"I have all six of mine on you, don't worry, Angel." he laughed and I felt confused, remembering what I said to myself when I first met him.

'My eyes weren't the only ones on him, and he must have had six eyes since he spotted each pair watching his every move.'

"Six eyes? Satoru, I said the exact same thing when I first met you." I sat up and laughed at the coincidence.

"Really? No ways. Me having six eyes has been an ongoing joke between me and Suguru for years, are you sure he didn't tell you that?" Satoru was in disbelief.

"I promise you! I swear it just came to mind when I first saw you." I laughed and walked up to the taller man, taking his hand in mine and staring into his eyes.

"That's a crazy coincidence." he pulled me closer and kissed me again, but I'd never deny him a kiss.

We walked to the front door and he took my coat off the rack and held it up for me to slip into.
After I was in my coat, he put his on and grabbed his car keys.

"Ready to go, Angel?" he asked me and I nodded, and he held the door open for me to exit first.

Our drive to the school was slow, seeing that we had the time to spend getting there.
He held my hand while he drove, occasionally using it to change gears.

"What's happening tonight?" Satoru asked me and I thought for a while.
I would feel guilty if I stayed over another night, but I would do it if he offered, under the condition that I fetch clothes for the following morning.

I would still have to work tomorrow, but that doesn't really matter since Satoru lets me work from his office.

"What do you want to do?" I asked him and he thought for a while.

"We can take Megumi out for dinner, seeing it's a Friday. And then you can stay over at my house again and work from home, how does that sound?" he offered and I smiled, satisfied that he managed to read my mind.

"That sounds fine to me, I just need to get some stuff from home, is that okay?" I looked at him and he seemed pleased and nodded.

"Of course, we can do that once we pick Megumi up." he squeezed my hand and kept looking ahead of him.

ALL I COULD EVER ASK FOR.
