Am I falling for her?

Chapter Two

Gloria's side

     I sighed as I stepped out of the shower. Today was the day Mr. Ich-I mean Eisuke came over. I was nervous, but this wasn't really a date though. It was just a business dinner. I dried my hair and brushed it. Many thought I curled my hair. This is actually natural. After that, I dried my body, then slipped on my bathrobe. I gathered my towels and threw them in the hamper. Today while I was out doing business,  I had a few maids clean the place. It smelled wonderful. I walked out of the bathroom and into my bedroom.

     "Hmm, I wonder what I should ware, " I said aloud as I arrived to my closet and opened it.

     I stepped into the walk in closet and I placed my hands on my hips. My eyes skimming my wardrobe. I mentally chastised myself for not buying a new dress. Finally, my eyes landed on a short black long sleeved butterfly dress. Silver swirls decorated it. I pulled it out and examined it. It's been awhile since I wore this. I smiled. This will be nice. I exited the closet with the dress and laid it on my bed. I slipped my robe off and slipped on my favorite  lingerie set and then slipped on my dress. I slipped on some black heels. I slightly added some makeup and then exited my bedroom and through my office. I walked to my mini kitchen and decided I would fix lobster and mash potatoes with corn. As I started cooking I couldn't help but think I was a mini house wife. I chuckled, "Oh my god. That is an embarrassing thought. Good job Gloria. Good job."

     By the time I managed to set the table and lay the food out, it was close time for Eisuke to come. I decided to sit and relax for a minute. An hour passed. I decided to call Eisuke. He gave me his number and I dialed his number. It rang twice then he answered, "Hello?"

     I winced at the irritation in his voice and said, "I'm sorry Eisuke. Have I called at a bad time?"

Eisuke's side

Shit! I looked up at the clock. My eyes widen. I am an hour and thirty minutes late.

     "No, Gloria my apologies. I suddenly had a meeting come up. If you would like to post pone are meeting, I would understand. If not, I am on my way."

     "Mr. Ichinomiya, my schedule isn't open until next month. And, I'm leaving early tomorrow morning.  It's already past ten. I'm sorry Mr. Ichinomiya but I'm afraid we have to post pone. Good night Mr. Ichinomiya."

      The phone was hung up. I looked up at the guys. My "meeting", was an emergency auction. Soryu said, "Eisuke, I'm sorry."

     Dammit! But, what probably hurt the most, was she didn't call me by my first name. She said my last name. I sighed then stood up, "If that is all there is then, dismissed."

      Since no one said a word, it was dismissed and I went up to my room. I stared out the windows and there I noticed,  Gloria's hotel. I smirked, she is definitely something. I remember when I woke up today. Gloria was all I could think about. I frowned and crossed my arms. How did she manage to capture my attention. I still don't understand.  My smirk came back, she put me on my place. Gloria. Her name just rolls off my tongue so easily. This past week I've paid no interest in my groupies. They were nothing. They weren't Gloria.  I shook my head. Stop it! I decided to stare out the window but, my eyes kept looking at Glory. I growled giving up. I went to do work. But, as I did some paperwork, all I could see was big deep brown eyes that lured you in. I growled, my head slamming on my desk, "What. The. Hell. Is. Wrong. With. Me."

     Finally I gave up and let my mind do its work.

Soryu's side

No doubt Eisuke was mad. It was dead silence when we heard the slam noise. A chuckle sound and I looked to see Baba smiling, "Sorry. But, love is here."

     I raised an eyebrow.

     "What the hell are you talking about Baba, " Mamoru spoke.

     Baba chuckled, "It's love. Love!"

     Mamoru sighed and said, "You, make no sense what's so ever. And your supposed to be thirty-five."

     "Mamo! Are you calling me old, " Baba said sadly while holding his chin.

     I coughed to hide my laugh. I looked up to the stair case. Maybe Baba was onto something.

                    A month later...

Gloria's side

     I stepped out of my limo sighing greatly to be back from America. People in Japan were a lot better than there. I walked into my hotel and that's when i was enveloped in a hug. I hugged back Kim.

     "Welcome back Gloria!"

     I stepped back and said, "Thank you Kim. It's good to be home. Did I miss anything?"

     "Ah, no. But, you do have a gift up in your room."

     A gift? I thanked Kim and went up to my room. When I arrived, I noticed a basket of fruits and a card. I picked up the card and sat down. I opened the envelope and it read, Dear  Ms. Lily, I hope you aren't too exhausted after your trip back home. I'm coming for you at nine tonight. Don't be late, signed Ichinomiya Eisuke. What the cabbage is this? I raised an eyebrow and decided to rest. I got up about six. I decided to get a shower. After the shower I felt much more refreshed. The note came back to mind and I couldn't ignore my fluttering heart. But, I didn't want to get dressed up again and then be forgotten about. I decided to wear a simple black dress and flats. I put on a little make-up and decided to eat a light snack. It was almost eight and I got down to the front of my hotel. No sooner had it hit eight, did a black limo pull up and outstepped the one man that I couldn't get out of my mind. I smiled and said, "Good evening Eisuke."

     He smiled back gently and held open the door for me "Good evening Gloria."

     Eisuke took me to a restaurant where he apologized and it almost seemed like we were on a date. We went to a movie which I haven't been in so long. It was nice evening. Eisuke, what are you doing to me?

Eisuke's side

Gloria and I were in the limo and we were heading back to my hotel since it was closer. We had agreed to talk more, but Gloria had fallen asleep and my heart went crazy. Gloria, what are you doing to me?
