Chapter 16 - Friends? Part 2

Kenshin's P.O.V:

We had a little silence in the car while I drive our way to the office. I secretly throw glances at her. Her pretty face is hidden by her hair. I wanted to tuck her hair behind her ear so I can have a better look at her face but I have to focus on driving. I focus on the road while thinking if I should be the one approaching so we could have a conversation but Amaya got the timing she gave me a glance that stops me in my tracks. How can she always makes me feel this uneasy when she's around? "Ahm..." Amaya started our conversation. "Hmm?" I hummed as an answer to her.

"Hey, I am sorry I got so shy easily." Amaya started talking and she looks so cute. "So how was your morning Mr. Kenshin?" She asked shyly being formal again and I laugh at how her face turned red. Her cheeks and chin are blushing so beautifully. "Drop the formalities, Amaya. We can be friends." I told her and gave her a look so she won't feel shy or nervous, "Just Shin, Will be fine." I said and she smiles at me. "There, you look gorgeous when your smiling like that," I commented to her and she looks away. "So how was your morning, Shin?" She asked and I become the one getting shy around her now.

"Well, my morning is as beautiful as you," I answered focusing on the road so I won't be tempted to look at her. "You are such a sweet talker aren't you?" She said but still looking away. Maybe she's also avoiding staring at me. "Nah, I am just straightforward and I will tell to the people what I wanted and what I feel no matter if it may offend them," I said and she stares at me. "I admire you for being that strong like that. I wish I could be like you." She shyly said and the red light shows up. "Do you want a lesson from me?" I joked around her and she smiles at me. "Are you going to teach me how to gain confidence to face people and be fearless?" She giggles and I remember my son's giggles from her.

"Yes, I could give the lesson for you free of charge if you are my friend," I said making a deal with her and she focuses on me. "Friend?" She asked and she plays with her fingers maybe she thinks I will really make her pay because we are just acquaintances. I notice that she was not wearing her seatbelt so I decided to put it for her. I put the seatbelt on her and whispers to her. "So Amaya? Can we be friends?" I asked and the scenario becomes sexy for both of us. "Can you be my friend Amaya?" I asked again and she focuses on me. "I wanted to be your friend too." She smiles at me with a very sweet and enchanting smile.

"That is a very good choice, beautiful lady," I said and she laughs. "You are playful Shin." She said the atmosphere feels so light and I bet that this day will be more exciting. "Shall we have lunch together my new friend?" I asked playing around with her again. "Hmm? It will be my pleasure to eat with my teacher." She jokes around too. Not gonna lie I like her play-along attitude. "So you are saying yes?" I asked and she nodded. "I don't mind eating with you every day as long as you don't count me in as one of your playmates." She jokes again.

"You do really think that I am that playboy?" I asked while I focus on the road again. "I don't but your victims are telling." She said and her smile faded. Why? Do you believe them and you don't like those? Well, I can't blame you. You once become my victim. "I really fancy you Kenshin. You are admirable and very vibrant. Like flame seducing the firefly but I am the type of firefly who can't afford to get burned so please don't devour me into your flames." She said and she becomes shy again.

"I want you to trust me, Amaya. I won't say I am a good man but I can be a gentleman." I said giving her a wink and she smiles. "You are indeed a gentleman. I know that." She said and we arrive at our destination. "I always knew." She said and it made me stop is she referring to that night? "Are we here?" She asked. "Yes, here's the place," I answered. "This is beautiful." She commented looking through the scenery outside. "Let's get inside?" I asked as she looks so cute enjoying the view outside, "There's more inside." I said and she looks at me. "You are so cool, Shin." She smiles at me full of amazement.

"Hey, It's not like that." Now I am the one getting shy around. Her smile is just too beautiful and I wanted to see it every day. She resembles our son so much. Lycoon might look like me but his inner side is very much like his mom. Amaya waves her hand in front of me. "Are you okay?" She asked confusedly. "Yes, I just remember something about my meeting later." I alibi and she believes. "If you are busy then let's get inside, I can just wait for my team to arrive and we will just explore on our own." She said.

"Are you sure? I just have to attend a meeting then I'll meet you at our lunch break." I said and she nodded. "Yes, Thank you for your time Shin." Amaya thanked me. I parked my car in my designated car park and open the door for her. "Thank you for the ride, Shin." She thanked me again and I found it very weird. Ladies don't thank me a lot when I do something sweet to them. "Don't forget our lunch," I said and walks her to the elevator. "Let's part at the lobby. I have to wait for them in the lobby." Amaya told me and I nodded.

The elevator stops at the lobby and she went out. "See you later." She smiles at me and I nodded. I waved at her awkwardly as she waved sweetly to me. Why is she sweet? We are acting too cute. I went to my office smiling like I won the lottery when I remember how close I can get to her now. Wait up son, I will be bringing your mom home soon.
