Senshi POV: Age - 28
I am at a bookstore, a comic bookstore where my books are sold and more out of habit than anything else I admire my own books as they're selling quite well. No one knows I'm the author but soon that's going to change. I agreed to have an exclusive interview, signing my autograph on my fans books and I'm quite excited about those events that are coming up. I look at my book and I smile at how well it looks and I even laugh a little bit as I read my own as identified author of the book. I see a few persons reading my book and buying it and so I feel happy about it and even as I do I like to hear their comments about my book. I'm happy because all the ones I hear are good about the book and they are also fun as they speculate about how I am. I put the book back on the shelve and as I scroll by the other shelves I see interesting books and some good ones even. At one point I find a classic that even though I know it by heart I don't have it and so I grab it to buy it and I keep going by the shelves trying to see if I can find something else that I like and want. I can be capricious when I want to be but is only at times. I end up just buying the classic book I like and so I go read it at the table in the corner of the store. Is a while but eventually I lean back to rest my eyes and neck from the position. A bit after I do that someone bumps into me. I stand and help her up.
-Hey, I'm sorry. Are you alright?
?-My glasses. Where are my glasses?
There's a breaking sound and she speaks very softly.
?-Oh no.
-Don't worry. I can help you with this in a second.
I grab her glasses and searching my pockets I grab my spare glasses and I put them on her hand.
-Check if these work.
I sit back as she tries them on. Noticing her trouble I help her.
-They can adjust.
I show her how to adjust them and she smiles.
?-These will work until I fix mine.
-No other injury or bruises? Nothing or anything.
She checks herself throughout before she smiles.
?-Nothing.
I help her pick up her books when I see my book amongst them. The only porn amongst romance and horror novels. I can't help myself to ask.
-You like this book?
She sees the book I'm holding and I smirk as she blushes very deeply shrinking herself on herself.
?-That, yeah, is the.........is the best porn there is.
-Really?
?-Yes and I really want to meet him but the book never says anything about him.
-You want his autograph?
?-Yes but I also want to give him a story and get his advice. I want to be a writer of everything and everything is easy but the porn topic, I really want to meet him. Maybe we can work together.
-And you're not afraid that he might be ugly, a pervert, a kidnapper or a serial killer.
?-At first I thought that but after reading his first book I really have this impression that he's educated. He understands people and that's why his books are selling like hot bread.
-So you want to work with him.
?-Yes and I almost forgot about that but his name is Senshi. I like his name, did you knew it means soldier, fighter, warrior, guardian?
-I knew but it sounds to me like you really want to meet him.
?-I want to and it bothers me because there's this rumor that he's going to sign his autograph for fans but since his books don't say anything about it I can't really check if is true or not and if it is I can't find where it is or when and I think I'm going to miss it.
-Well, you know what? You're not going to miss it.
?-So is true is happening.
-Sure is true. I'm going, I can take you with me if you want.
She smiles at me barely holding back before she asks calmly.
?-Are you sure you can do that for me?
-Is the least I can do. You just bring your things and I'll pay for everything.
?-Really? I can't let you do that.
-Yes you can.
?-Alright, I'll go with you but we will both pay for expenses. I pay the gas you the food and like that. Alright?
I sigh and I speak.
-Alright. You had to be a woman.
?-I heard that.
-I meant that in the best way possible.
That actually makes her laugh and as we turn to leave I offer her taking her bags.
-I can have that for you.
?-Thanks. I can go on my own.
-A true gentleman makes sure a lady doesn't walk alone after dark and he makes sure she gets home safely.
?-And you're a gentleman.
-I think I am because if I'm not at least I try to be.
?-You try.
-My sisters kind of trained me to be a gentleman.
?-Alright then. My home is this way.
-Sure.
With that we leave to her home.

The next week we go together to the book signing event and I am driving my car by a shorter but scenic route so she can enjoy herself. The book signing event is tomorrow but we're going today so we arrive on time for dinner and sleep early and tomorrow we go early to the book fair. She still doesn't know I'm the author for the book and I'm not very eager to tell her just yet. I drive and at some point she speaks out loud.
Samantha-Hey S, is that the city for the book signing event?
-Yes it is.
S-So the sights are over?
-Not necessarily. You can enjoy the sight of the city too.
S-So, what are you doing?
-We can have dinner out and then go to the hotel to sleep or we can go to the hotel and eat there and then sleep.
S-I want to eat at the hotel.
-Then to the hotel it is.
With that I go to the hotel directly. The transit is very heavy but I navigate through it perfectly and I arrive to the hotel quickly. After parking I finally get out to the car and I stretch.
-So much better.
I hear her laugh and turning around I sigh.
-Wait here. I'm going to get something really quick.
She nods and so I go get a cart to carry the luggage and mostly my work. A few personalized copies of my books all unique with their own style and the ones I can I bring them myself, is cheaper than sending everything with the company and I always enjoy doing a few of these things myself. Once I'm done I take them up to my room and she goes to her room that's right across and in front of mine.
S-Good night S.
-Good night Samantha.
She disappears on her room and i get in mine and after undressing and getting everything ready for when I wake up tomorrow and so I fall deeply asleep.

The next day we arrive very early to the book signing event and I'm not surprised at how many people have come for a copy and have a book signed. Some have one book, some none while others have the entire collection. I'm not very surprised at that but Samantha is.
S-Wow, I had no idea this many people liked Senshi's books and I didn't thought that they would come this early either. How will I ever get to him today with so many people already waiting?
-You'll see. I have my means and ways to get you there.
S-I doubt it but I'm still going to trust in that and in you.
I laugh and so we go inside. As we go I become aware I might lose her amongst the crowd and so I grab her hand tightly and I pull her with me. I sigh in relief as we reach the backstage where no fans are allowed. A group of guards and people pass by the hallway going outside when someone calls me out.
?-Senshi.
I look and I see the guy that helps me organize my books on the shelves and coming out I call out.
-Michael.
We exchange our friendship greeting before we laugh and we share a hug.
-You have grown some muscle since last time.
M-Without working out or exercising.
-Why are you here?
M-I'm going to help you actually. The guards are crazy because you haven't arrived and is crazy chaos out there but you're here so I better tell them to come back.
-Wait.
I hold him back as I think about it.
-Let them be. Come with me to check everything together and get ready.
M-Alright but just one question. A few actually but only two right now.
-Shoot.
M-Who is she? Is she coming with us?
-She's Samantha, my friend, a fan and yes she's coming with us. You're coming, right?
She only nods and smiling Michael takes us to my private room.
M-So, I assume that since you saw the crowd out there you know that there's a lot of work.
-I know and I'm having mixed feelings.
M-Nah, don't worry. You got this.
-Not worried, I just want this to be perfect. To go smoothly and without any trouble. How much time do I have?
M-Uh, fifteen minutes.
-Come back in ten. You know the process. Water, pens, sheet of paper and all of that.
M-Alright but remember that you need to use this clothes for the signing right now. Is part of the contract.
I give him a look and he raises his hands in surrender as he goes away. I sigh and going towards Samantha I hold her hands gently.
-How are you feeling?
S-A bit like you, with mixed feelings about everything. Why didn't you told me it was you? Oh no, you heard me when I told you I thought you were a pervert. Oh no, what a shame.
-Is alright, I was more surprised when you said I wasn't a pervert than when you thought I was.
S-So, you're not angry or anything?
-Of course not but there's one thing I want to ask you for. Is really simple, would you do it?
S-Do what?
-Close your eyes while I change. Please.
S-Oh my lord, so delicate but alright. I'll face the wall for a while or look at everything except you.
I laugh as she turns around and locking the door I turn to get changed for the event. A pleased sound escapes me as I slide my shirt on and my embarrassment grows when I hear her laugh.
-Sorry.
S-Is alright. I liked that sound.
I speak as I finish changing clothes.
-You can look now, I'm done.
S-So, if you're Senshi, why didn't you sign my book when we met?
-I'm.........not sure.
S-You know I'm going to ask a lot. Right?
-I know. Do you know I'm going to give you something even better than just signing your book?
S-What will you give me?
-Oh, be patient.
S-Can't you tell me now?
-Where's the fun in that?
She pouts but then she nods.
-You know, I can also check that story you're writing.
S-That one will be mine and you're the coauthor.
-Definitely.
I get cut off by someone knocking at the door.
M-Senshi, you got three minutes to get there.
I sigh as he comes in with us with everything I asked for and so we go to the spot where I'm signing the books and so it begins.
