Time flew very slowly today. Not to mention the loads of work I had to do. Till evening I was totally exhausted but the thought of me going on date with Zen refreshed me up. Ringing of my phone brought me out of my thoughts. It was Zen on other end.
"Yes" I recieved the call and said.
"Are you done yet" he asked me from the other end.
" Ya"
"Ok if you are done should we?" He asked. I hummed in agreement.
"I am waiting at the entrance of your office"
"Ok. I will be there in a minute"
"Take your time" he said and disconected the call.
I giggled to myself. I was excited and thrilled at the same time. How it would go. First time it was a dissaster for me. I hope this one is the one. I was done with my work so I went to elavator to proceed downwards.
The door of the elevator chimed and opened at ground floor. I walked towards the entrance and saw a black SUV standing right at the entrance and Zen had his back leaning on it. He saw me and waved at me. I walked to him. He pulled me into a hug and whispered in my ears " You look beautiful".
I blushed at his compliment. He then opened the door of the passenger seat for me and closed the door behind me. He walked to the driver's side and drove us away.
We reached the restaurant. It was a very traditional japanese restaurant which combined modern Japanese cuisine with a more traditional dining experience. Instead of tables and chairs, the dining space was divided into several washitsu with sliding doors, low square tables, and zabuton intended for use on tatami mats. I had always wanted to try the place since it opened. Reservations were tough to get and he had one for lunch.
A hostess in a black kimono with a red obi greeted us with a bow and the traditional "irasshaimase" used to welcome a customer into an establishment. She had her hair in an elaborate shimada. Admiring the cherry blossom pin she wore to keep the strands in place, we returned the greeting and gave his name, mentioning that he was Zen Kirishima. She nodded and indicated with a delicate tilt of her head for us to follow her.
Servers wearing kimonos in red with black obis carried trays laden with food into several of the Compartment rooms. It seeme that they were really busy because it was Friday night. She led us to our booked compartment.
"Thank you, Akaya," he said to the hostess. "Please ask them to serve."
She nodded and slid the door closed.
" You already ordered the fodd" I asked Zen with a surprised expression.
" Ya I thought this time I didn't want anyone to interrupt so I ordered it before hand" he replied with a smile and a wink.
"Dozo." Zen indicated the cushion across from him by stretching his arm out toward it, palm facing the ceiling.
"And sorry I ordered for you as well", he said gesturing towards me.
"No its my pleasure" I smiled.
There was silence in the room and him staring at me making me blush hard. I didn't wanted it to be awkward so I thanked him for inviting me to this restaurant.
"Thank you for inviting me here," i said with a bow. "I've always wanted to try this place."
"My pleasure," he replied with a soft smile and tilt of his head. I nodded.
Zen tipped the flask's clear liquid into a small white ceramic cup, making sure he touched his free hand to his pouring arm. He handed the cup to me giving me sweet smile. Then Zen raised his own cup.
"Kanpai," he said, tilting his cup.
I touched my cup with Zen's, but he made sure the rim of his was below Zen's as a sign of respect.
"So do I have any chance?" Zen asked winking at me.
"I'm sorry?" I asked.
He lifted his sake cup. "Do I have a chance to have your heart?"
"Oh" I blushed.
"So"
"I don't know what to say", I blushed.
Zen touched my cheeks, "Ah, it's been a while since I've seen you this morning. And I don't how but I would like to be with you. It has been on my mind since the first time I saw you".
I could tell with the hotness on my cheeks that i may looking like a tomato right at the moment. He chuckled looking at me.
"Your order sir" the waiter said as he entered the room.
He gestured to the waiter to serve me first. I smiled at this sweet gesture. He was bowing before he picked up the chopsticks. He was interrupted by ringing of his phone. He took his phone out of his chest pocket and excused himself. He went to side where there was bamboo plants and attended his call. He came back and look towards me with a frown in his forehead.
" Is everything ok?" I asked him in concern.
" I am sorry. I have to go. Its an emergency that needs my attention", he said the whole sentence in one breathe.
I chuckled at him and his silliness. I got up from my seat and touched his cheeks.
" Its ok. You don't have to be sorry" I smiled at him. He smiled leaving a sigh.
" But you still owe me a dinner", I smiled at him and placed at sweet kiss on his cheek. He was caught with surprise and why not I too was shocked by my actions. I was embrassed at my action so I immediately turned around to hide my face. He came nearer to me and leaned his head on me as his hands slid to my hips hugging me from behind. Then he leaned his head on my shoulder and whispered to me.
"You don't have to be embarrassed. I loved it" he chuckled.
He turned me towards him so that I Could face him. He lifted my face with my chin and looked into me. He leaned closer and closed the gap between us. He placed his lips on my lips.He licked my lips asking me for entrance into mine. As i was giving into the kiss he withdrew and smiled at me.
"Why? Don't you feel good?", I asked blushing.
A shudder went through Zen. He closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against mine. "Yes. Thats why I want it to be special. And right now its not the time. And I don't wanna lose my control right now. And I want you to feel good and not what you'll clearly regret in the morning. When I take you it will be when you're sober so you'll feel every inch of me sliding in and out of you. That is a promise."
Lightning bolt quick ran through my body leaving me stunned and a little more than turned on.
