Kissed by the Baddest Bidder- Saving Samejima

Chapter 8- Pick Me

Aurora POV

Weeks went by, Samejima and I would spend days, evenings and nights together with him as my personal escort.

We always had the constant chemistry that was like a low burning bonfire in my stomach every time his muscled shoulder touched mine.

He never touched me though, not after the incident in Soryu's office. We had learnt that our time together was temporary. The kiss still burned my lips every time he looked at me for a second too long though.

Today was different, I decided; today I would do everything differently. I prepare the day for mother, give her the medicine(thankfully) without incident and prepare the house in the case she wonders from her room.

Samejima is waiting outside in the SUV, and I think my neighbours are assuming he's my pimp... or a drug dealer like my father had been before it was the cause of his own demise.

I walk outside, lock my front door and am shocked to discover he was right in front of me. "SAMEJIMA!" I hiss, jumping back in surprise.

"That's... an interesting kitchen." he was noticing the parts that were broken and seeing as I could fix a server used for nuclear codes with one hand he was likely confused.

If only he knew.

"You knew the deal, Soryu said you couldn't come this close." I whisper and suddenly the smirk on his face, the light energy he had was gone.

"You're right, I apologise." he begins walking down the stone pathway to the broken gates.

I take a deep breath, and grab his hand. He was so shocked he looked down. I keep silent until we get to the car, and let it go so that I can get inside the car.

Samejima still seemed dumbfounded when he gets into the driver's seat. Swallowing loudly, he turns on the engine and we head towards my university.

Turns out we were both being bold today...

Samejima's hand came to rest on my thigh in between gear changes, and the warmth was soaked up by skin.

He says nothing as he pulls up and removes it, nor does he speak throughout all of my lectures. Until...

"Hey Aurora. " Tom says, his brown hair was caramel in the light of the window and he smiles wide at me whilst sitting down the other side to Samejima.

"Hi Tom." I smile back.

"Can you believe Mr. Hampson's lecture? You were telling me about this stuff the first day." he laughs, and looks over at Samejima.

"Who's this?" he seems surprised, probably because he was the only other person I spoke to in the university bar my own teachers.

"My name is Samejima and I'm Aurora's boyfriend." he says with a tight smile. The water I was taking a sip from was coughed back slightly, when Samejima's arm came around my shoulders.

"Nice to meet you Samejima, I'm Tom. You're a lucky guy." Tom turns to the front, missing Samejima's narrowing icy eyes.

"You bet I am."

That's how I stayed, for 3 hours... locked between Tom and Samejima. With his arm around me...

Samejima POV

Oh, no... no way that Tom was getting to Aurora when I left...

Nope...

Not a chance. I mean, I didn't have the right to make that decision. But I had.
