Hanzo Shimada was not your average guy. Sure he looked like a fun loving friend, but behind all that, he was a wealthy man. Very wealthy actually. He was the richest man in all of the state, but he kept on the down low. No one knew that he was this wealthy, and that's exactly how he liked it. He was a CEO of a company and does martial arts on the side of all that. He was a busy man, but he somehow was able to have a normal life, AND a wealthy one. He was all over the place.

The phone was ringing... and ringing... and ringing. Till it stops and goes to voicemail. Jesse pulls the phone from his ear and looks down at it sadly. As he placed the phone back in its rightful place, it rings. He eagerly picks it up, heart racing.

"Hello?" Jesse answers into the phone excitedly.

"Hey, it's me, Hanzo; from the beach" Hanzo replies back

"Oh yeah, h-hey Hanzo. How are you?" Jesse says trying not to sound too excited even though he was ecstatic. He was trying to sound as confident as he possibly could, but that wasn't working.

"I am very well, thank you" Hanzo sounded more... formal than usual.

"So uhh, why did you give me your number anyways?" Jessie said, smiling just waiting for the answer.

"Well, you just seemed like a rather nice guy and I wanted to get to know you. How would you like to come over for dinner at my place tomorrow evening?" Hanzo said it nervously, more nervous than he normally is. He was supposed to be confident and able to work under pressure. But for some reason, he couldn't keep his cool around Jesse.

"yeah sure! I'd love to! I mean.... yeah that'd be cool" Jesse replied hesitantly

"Okay, I'll tell you my address. What's your mobile number?" Hanzo asked curiously

"Oh, uh, I don't have a mobile. You could tell me now and I'll write it down?" Jesse was hesitant to admit that he didn't own a phone but he did anyways.

"Okay, I live on 84 Prince street, in the city. You can get here at anytime after 6pm" Hanzo stated

*There's slight mumbling coming through the phone* "84 Prince street, 6pm" Jesse whispers to himself but loud enough for Hanzo to hear as he scribbles the address and time on a torn piece of paper with a pen that running on its last bit of ink.

"Okay, I'll see you then!" Jesse said before quickly hanging up the phone and sliding his back down the wall and sitting on the floor with his head in his hands.

"what the hell did I just doooooo????" Jesse mumbled to himself through the piece of paper with ink across it forming the address.

He is so eager to see Hanzo that he goes to bed early and tries to race through the next day as fast as possible. He eats his cheap, ripoff wheat-bix for breakfast and races to his room to see what he's going to wear tonight. He picked out the nicest outfit he owned, which wasn't that nice at all, and laid it on the bed. He took an early shower and hopped out at around 11:40am. It was just a bit over 6 hours till he could see Hanzo. He attempted to pass the time by watching movies but all he could think about is the dinner that will happen tonight. He doesn't know why but the thought kept creeping back into his head.

It got to 5pm and Jesse rushed to his room and put on the outfit he laid out earlier. He combed his hair and neatened up his beard. As he looked in the mirror, he sprayed the last of his old cologne onto him just so he smelled nice. It was 5:40 and Jesse had called a cab prior to getting ready. He rushed outside when he heard the cab pull up and jumped in, excited to get there. As he told the driver the address, the driver looked at him wide eyed, but soon after, he shrugged it off and began the drive to Hanzo's house. Jesse didn't think anything of the drivers reaction. Maybe he knew Hanzo, but he didn't let that thought wander his mind for too long. As he got closer to Hanzo's house, he could see the houses getting bigger as they drove. They came to the end of the street and at the very top of the street was a large house with big iron gates out the front. They stop out the front and the driver looks back at Jesse and signals that they had arrived. Jesse gave the driver the last of his money and slowly excited the car, jaw dropped and wide eyed. As he stared at the mansion sized house, he looked at what he was wearing and did not feel in place. As he was about to ring the bell to the place, he checked his watch and saw that it was only 5:50. So he refrained from ringing the bell and began to wait until 6. It was 5:51 and the speaker connected to the bell sparked to life as words were being spoken into it.

"You know, you don't have to wait until exactly 6pm right?" There was a quiet yet cute chuckle that ended the sentence as the large iron gates slowly opened up, revealing the large front garden that lay behind. Jesse walked into the gates in aw. He was speechless. As he got closer to the door, it opened and there stood Hanzo, wearing suit that looked rather amazing on him. He did look slightly intimidating but that was one thing that Jesse liked about Hanzo as soon as he met him.

"Hey. come on in" Hanzo said in a calming voice as he held the door open for Jesse and motioning for him to come inside.

Jesse wanted to turn around and run. Just run, far away away from there.

"Thanks" Jesse said to Hanzo blankly as he was to much in aw over the house he has just walked into.

"Dinner's all set up in the dining room so I'll take you there" Hanzo said while looking at Jesse but walking forwards, waving his hand to tell Jesse to walk. A tall man in a suit walked over to him and took his coat and hung it on a hook next to the door. Jesse was not used to this, and Hanzo could tell. As they approached the dining room, there was a long table that could seat at least 30 people and a small, two person table under the window nearby. On the table was two plates, empty, a bottle of wine, two glasses, some water, a small vase of beautiful flowers and a tall candle with a flame lit at the top. Hanzo walked ahead of Jesse and pulled the chair out for him. Jesse sat down and gulped.

"You uh, have a really nice house. But I'm more of a whiskey fella-" He motioned towards the expensive bottle of chardonnay on the table "-But maybe that's because I've never tried wine before. Always too expensive" Jesse knew that Hanzo couldn't relate to what he was saying but he said it anyways.

Hanzo looked to his right where the same man who took Jesse's coat was standing and motioned for him to get Jesse something. The man came back in less than a minute with a bottle of Hanzo's finest whiskey. Hanzo was more of a sophisticated wine person but he wanted to please his guest. Jesse took a sip of the liquid that was poured into his newly placed glass and it tasted amazing, the best he'd ever had! Hanzo nodded at the man and he left the room, leaving the two alone at the table.

"I uh-" He swallowed "-I didn't expect you to live in a place like this" Jesse said as if it was a dream and he was mentally punching himself to see if it was real or not. It was.

"Yeah but I like it that way-" He took a look around at the room he was in "-It lets me have a normal life. I don't want to make friends because of my money" It was a reasonable answer, I mean, who would want that?
