Chapter 14 - Fixed

(Asaka Point of View)

I checked all of the cameras in his apartment but I couldn't find him. Where did he go? I check the tracker in his phone and I see that he is at work. That's odd. He was working the night shift. I grab the file on my desk and I walk out into the hallway, I give the folder to one of my men and I tell him to make sure all women are in the "basement" before I get back. He immediately gets to work. I head into the "parking lot" where I see one of my workers leaving. I know she is more of a girly girl. She likes wearing makeup and showing a lot of skin, even if it's cold.

"You come here." I point at her and she walks over to me.

"Yes ma'am?"

"I need you to go to a bar and flirt with a man, outside of work, can you do that?"

"Yes, I can." She seems confused about my order but I just give her the address and then I show her a photo of my cutie. 

She heads straight to the bar and I follow. I watch her as she flirts with Levar. I am extremely jealous as I watch her. I hate seeing this but I need to know his type. He isn't blushing at her which is good. He blushes for me and he is so cute when he blushes. I hope he only blushes for me. I see one of the stripters when I realize that he sees half naked women all the time so what if that doesn't get him blushing? He blushes with me and I'm not half naked. Do clothes flustered him? That would definitely be odd but I won't judge. 

After a bit, I see him walk outside with some girls. I position myself so when he gets back inside he will run into me.

"Hello ma'am. I didn't think I would see you here at this time." He looks up at me in surprise and he is still calling me ma'am, so cute.

"I wouldn't think you would be here either."

"I'm just working. Nothing new really."

"So you wouldn't mind if I sat down at your bar?"

"No, I wouldn't." Good boy.

I follow behind him as we head inside. He makes me my normal drink and he gives it to me.

"Here you go ma'am." 

"Thank you darling." 

"You're welcome ma'am."

I take a sip of my drink. He made it right. I'm not surprised. It doesn't seem like he has messed up anyone's order.

"So is this your normal shift? It does seem out of place compared to your other shifts that I have seen you in." Most don't work the night shift and the morning shift but maybe bartenders do.

"No, it isn't. One of my coworkers couldn't come in so I had to." 

"So you normally work the night shift?"

"Yes, I do." I thought so but it makes me wonder how much sleep he gets.

"It doesn't seem as busy as it is at night."

"No, it isn't. This is actually quite slow for me but the other bartenders are acting like this is a lot for them."

"Good to know."

I see him about to respond to me when the woman I sent to flirt with him calls him over. "I will be back soon ma'am." He is so respectful.

I nods my head as I watch him leave. He is shown something but I can't see what it is. He soon comes back over to me.

"Who was that?" I know who she is but what does he know about her?

"I don't know."

"It looked like she was trying to give you something."

"She was."

"Why?"

"She drew me and wanted me to have it." A drawing. I didn't know she could draw. I wonder if he likes that or finds it hot. 

"Did you like the fact that she drew you?"

"It was nice and impressive but not something that made her look hot or anything like that."

"So you are fine if your partner can't draw?"

"Yes, I am."

"What if they can draw?"

"That's fine as well."

"So either way is fine with you?"

"Yes, it is."

"Good to know."

He stays quiet for a second. "So do you need anything else?"

I think for a second about his question. "Have you changed your mind about us getting closer?" I did see him pacing a lot in his apartment so he might have. I hope he has. If not, I have other ways.

I see him thinking for a second.

"Yes, I have given it more thought. I think that we can talk outside of my job." 

"That's great, sweetheart. What made you change your mind?" Other than fear. After all, I saw you pacing in your apartment.

"I just don't talk to a lot of people so this will be good for me." 

"Are you lonely?" I frown slightly. I guess I didn't see him talking much to others but I didn't realize that I would be the first person he would really talk to but I guess that means that I will have all of his time to myself.

"Not really. I like being alone but humans are sociable creatures and need human companionship and communication to keep them from going crazy."

I nod my head slightly. "Who do you normally talk to?"

"Just customers and sometimes coworkers, if needed or when I'm bored I go help them and that will be some more talking."

"Do you speak to anyone outside of work?"

"Not really ma'am." Good. That means more time with me.

"Then I guess it is good that I am now here so you can talk to someone outside of work." I reach into my pocket. "Do you have your phone on you?"

"Yes I do. Why ma'am?"

I take out my phone. "I want to trade phone numbers with you so we can talk outside of your work."

"Okay." I watch him as he takes out his open, opens something, and then shows me his phone. I put his number into my phone and then text him "Hi darling". I see my text come in on his phone. Good.

"Done. Now we have each other's numbers. Make sure that you text me when you get home."

I watch him put his phone away and then look up at me. He looks confused. He looks so cute. "When I get home?"

"Yes. After all, I want to know when you get home so I know you are safe. After all, if your coworker couldn't come in, she might be sick and sickness is going around so I want to make sure that you get home healthy and safe. Plus, I have to get going right now." I take out my wallet, pay, and leave. I left a much bigger tip for him but like the first time, I left before he could do anything.
