Chapter 38 - Dinner

After Kanzaki placed all of the smoke detectors in each room he went back into his living room to wait but right as he sat down there was another knock at the door but this time it was a lot lighter than the previous time.

Knock. Knock.

When Kanzaki heard this he didn't get his hopes up since he didn't take the time to check his phone and see that it had just turned the exact time Selena said she would arrive there. Kanzaki walked up to the door and opened it with a normal expression expecting the delivery guy or some other person again but when he opened the door he was surprised to see Selena staring right at him.

'Wow.' Was all that went through Kanzaki's head. Selena also had her jaw dropped as she stared at Kanzaki but he thought he had something in his nose so he tried to move his head out of sight. As for himself he couldn't help but think wow since Selena was beyond beautiful.

Selena was wearing a black dress that went all the way down to her ankles just leaving her feet within view so her black platform high heels could be in view. She was also holding a black handbag that had a slight gold chain going down the side of it. Her jewelry on her neck and ears was obviously made of diamonds but the most stunning thing of all was her face.

She had already been drop-dead gorgeous before Kanzaki saw her with makeup or when she had tried in general but now that he had seen her this way he didn't know if he would be able to recover.

"H-hi." Kanzaki said awkwardly trying to start a conversation since they had been staring at each other for over 3 minutes. When Selena heard Kanzaki's voice she also came out of her daze but the words out of her mouth were a lot more straightforward.

"You look amazing." Selena said with stars still in her eyes. When Kanzaki heard this his face got redder but he put a smile on his face since he had taken a lot of time to look half decent. It was his first time having a guest over and he thought it was quite special.

"You do as well, thank you." Kanzaki said leaving Selena stunned once more. No one had ever told her that but Kanzaki didn't know that which is why he was confused by her reaction but he decided to ignore it since he was feeling awkward himself.

"Please, come inside. Welcome to my apartment." Kanzaki said gesturing for Selena to come inside. When she heard the last sentence she finally moved inside albeit she looked like a robot who needed some oil for the gears.

"You have done a lot with this. It's quite pretty." Selena said in surprise once she entered the apartment. She had seen a lot of the apartments in the building she owned and she also knew that every single one of them started the same. There was nothing provided with the apartment besides kitchen stuff and the furniture. Everything else had to be bought and decorated by the owner.

Kanzaki hadn't done a ton to the apartment but what he did do was place little decorations all over the place to make it feel a little homier while also placing quotes all over the room that were very encouraging. A few of them even got to Selena and she placed them in her mind to remember later.

"Thank you. I like it a lot but I don't really do much with it. I mainly just work, eat, and sleep." Kanzaki said laughing while getting a nod from Selena who said she was the same way.

As they were laughing and making small talk Kanzaki finally realized that Selena had been holding a grocery bag the entire time, "Do you want to place that down over there? The kitchen is over here and I made sure to get any utensil you can think of. I'm ready to help!" Kanzaki said pumping his fist and walking toward a station in the kitchen so he could help Selena cook whatever she brought for the dinner.

When Selena heard what Kanzaki said she looked at him as if he were some sort of psychopath, "Umm no. Sit down and wait." Selena said before walking into the kitchen leaving a stunned Kanzaki.

"I can't help?!" Kanzaki asked confused as he tried to follow Selena into the kitchen. He felt bad for her having to come all the way to his apartment and then having to make dinner even though she had offered such a thing, it went against his politeness principles.

"No, you can't. I told you I was making the dinner now you sit down there and watch me work my magic." Selena said with a wide smile as she turned back toward Kanzaki. When Kanzaki saw her happy smile he was momentarily stunned before giving her a go ahead nod and sitting down.

'Women are scary.' Kanzaki thought to himself as he came out of his shock.

Once Selena made it clear he wasn't allowed in the kitchen he just sat there twiddling his thumbs as he tried to see and watch what she was preparing. The only problem with this was the fact that his counter had a backsplash which made him unable to see over the counter and watch what she was doing.

The only thing he could see were the tops of her arms and her face but her face was enough to leave him lost in a trance for multiple minutes. As he was staring at her he didn't realize that she had also realized he was staring at her quite intently.

*****

'WHAT DO I DO?!' Selena screamed in her mind as sweat was pouring down her back. Kanzaki was staring at her making the meal which wasn't giving her time to slip the sleeping drug into the meal. She didn't know that from his angle he actually couldn't see her.
