Obey me, Stepmom (VERSION 2)

Chapter 5

Y/N'S POV

It was already late when I returned to the Haitani's. I had no plans to return early anyway.

Mr. Haitani has left, so they may all believe that I am casually enjoying my sugar baby life while he is away.

I set the shopping bags on the floor near the stairs; I wanted to grab some water first before going to my room to prepare for bed. 

I checked the time and it's almost 11. Saki will most likely provide some updates. Yuzuha told me she would give me extra work.

Anyway, as I walked towards the kitchen, I observed that the main lights were on, suggesting that someone was in the kitchen.

It's late for the maids to be working; it must be one of the brothers. 

"Hi, Ran," I said, facing his bare back because the man was only wearing stripped pajamas and slippers.

He's playing some music; I believe the title was 'Maybe This Time'.

When I enter and welcome him, he appears to be cutting something on the counter. I think he has a habit of walking around partly naked; he looks gorgeous from this point of view.

The man looked over his shoulder when he heard my voice, only focusing on me for a second before returning to what he was doing.

"Hey, mommy. Where've you been?" He asked, busy with his work.

I approached him, only to find him chopping some crispy fried chicken fillet, which made my mouth water. It looks very crunchy and delicious!

"Just the mall," I simply said as I watched him expertly cut the fillets.

"Dressed like that?"

I started to think this man is conservative; is it just me, or has he been bashing me for the way I dress since the day we met?

I looked down at my outfit, which included a black tube little dress, a leather jacket, and black heels. 

"What's wrong with it?"

"Hated it."

I rolled my eyes and leaned against the kitchen counter as I continued to observe him.

"This is the new fashion, Ran. You wouldn't know it because your closet is probably just filled with pants, no shirts, or whatever," I protest to explain myself, exaggerating at the end.

"Do you want some of my fillet?" he inquired, wriggling his brows oddly. 

"I think I want something else," I bit my lips, trying not to smile while keeping up with his provocative humor.

"Oh, too bad. Go away now," he jokes, turning his back on me and intentionally blocking my view of his food.

"Wow, I thought you wanted me again?"

"Why are you being so silly today, mommy? Did Sanzu gave you some of his pills?"

I broke into a giggle. "Oh please, I bump into him earlier, laughing at a homeless man, I can't believe he would do that?"

"Wait you know him?"

Fuck!

"Y-yeah, he was in that gang fight, right? I remember his pink hair and his scar."

Phew.

Ran laughed at my story, saying, "Shit! Are you for real? That's not the first time he did that weird crap."
