Contract With My Boss [Touken Story]

9

Kaneki coughed and cleared his throat. Keep calm, keep calm. She could be lying. I don't randomly kiss strangers out of nowhere. Walking towards the dining table, he pulled out a chair and settled down. He willed for his heart to calm down and met her eyes. "How do I know you're not lying?"

The female snorted. "You don't believe me. I guess I don't have the evidence to prove it, if that's what you're saying."

Silence overcame them as he racked his brains for every single thing that happened the previous night. He does remember drinking 5 glasses of wine and taking a cab to the office. After that, he saw Touka and then he... the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt. What happened after he saw her?

...

He then saw Rize at the office and kissed her. He could still remember the softness of those lips on his.

"Was my wife at the office?"

"No. I was the only one."

"..so I mistook you for my wife and kissed you." It wasn't a question, but a statement and Touka nodded to confirm. He buried his face into his hands and sighed heavily.

"I'm sorry. I—I don't know what came over me last night—"

She shrugged as she placed a plate of omelet rice in front of him. "No big deal. It's just a kiss. We can put it behind us. For now, you need to eat some food and then take medicines to ease your headache. Then, you should sleep."

"..you seriously don't mind that I kissed you?"

"Stop stressing about it too much and we'll both forget about it," Touka replied, pulling a chair and settling down in front of him. She took the cutlery and started to dig in.

Kaneki stared down at the delicious-looking food and also started eating. One mouthful was enough to make him want more, as he continued to eat spoonful after another until the plate is clean and emptied. Smiling, she placed some medicines on the table and a glass of water. "Drink up. You'll need them."

"..thanks."

After taking the medicines, the male stood up too abruptly and felt his body sway to the side as his vision spun. He then felt a pair of arms supporting his body and looked down to see his personal assistant with her legs shaking and body trembling whilst struggling to hold his weight against hers. She slowly helped him to her bed and got him to sit down.

"Thanks again. I've troubled you so many times."

"Don't mention it. It's the job of a personal assistant to take care of their boss, even if they're having a hangover." Touka joked and he let out a chuckle, to which he quickly stopped by covering his mouth with his hand.

She frowned at his action and grabbed his hand to pull it away from his mouth. "Don't stop yourself from laughing. It's human nature to laugh."

His heart started racing at how her face was so close to his own, and he could smell her sweet perfume from there. A few weeks have passed since she has become his personal assistant and yet he hasn't had the time or even bothered to look properly at her face. She had fluffy light blue hair, bangs covering half of her face, ocean blue eyes and the most tempting pink lips ever. She's actually a very attractive woman, to say the least.

His eyes gazed at her lips longingly and he licked his dry lips. I want to taste her again... He succumbed to his thoughts and pushed her down to the bed. Touka had her eyes wide open, lips slightly parted when he suddenly got on top of her and didn't have time to react as his lips pressed to hers.
