He wiped the back of his neck with a towel in his hand and he was oh so slightly panting which sent a million wrong thoughts running through my brain.
His lips were so perfectly sculpted that I couldn't stop looking at them. I've never thought of any man this way before , but something about Akashi makes me want to get close to him. It's against my principles though. I'm not that kind of a girl who is so desperate for a man.

" Sana.. " he called out as he shook my shoulder a little. I snapped out of my day dream and noticed that I was staring at his lips the whole time and now he was looking at me with narrowed eyes trying to figure out the thoughts running in my head.

" S-sorry " I uttered and got out of his grip. Akashi was pretty occupied talking to his assistant and glancing at me once in a while , while I just stood there not knowing what to do.

" Are you free today? " he asked out of the blue.

" Uh-h yes I'm " I blurted out , without even thinking if I was actually free or not.

He said something to his assistant and turned back to face me. " How about dinner, tomorrow 9pm ? " he asked.

How could I say no?

" Sure " I uttered with a smile.

He nodded and took my right hand in his and kissed the back of it.

" I'll pick you up then " A genuine smile played on his lips as he looked into my eyes and I was more than flattered.

He nodded one last time before leaving , but one thing that didn't go unnoticed by me was that this man seemed to have two sides. Yes, he was a gentleman to me , but his aura immediately changed everytime there was someone else around.
Is it true or is it just me? I didn't even want to look for an answer so I decided to flush the question out of my brain.

Walking back home I sat down with the laptop and Googled everything about Akashi Enterprises Holdings.Inc and it's handsome CEO. Miki seemed to be happy about the fact that this rich red head was interested in me , but I felt like Anastasia Steel in fifty shades of grey and that's something I never wanted to be. I whined and tried to convince myself and Mikami that it wasn't right to go on a dinner date with someone I've known for two days, but she managed to convince me otherwise.

Whatever it was, I shouldn't have agreed to go.

I fell back onto the bed and closed my eyes with a smile ligering on my face.

~~~

I wore the nicest dress I had and tried to look as classy as possible. Miki forced me to wear heels that were high enough to make me a little uncomfortable. A little make up was never too bad either. I smiled at my own reflection as I waited for any sign of the red heads arrival.

That's when my phone went *ting*

I ran towards it and there was a message from an unknown number, " I'm here miss ".

I smiled as I knew who it was and rushed towards the balcony. I looked below and found a black limousine waiting right outside.

' It must be him ' I waved bye to Miki while she gave me a thumbs up. I walked downstairs trying my best not to fall because of the heels I was wearing. I made my way towards the car and the familiar heterochromatic eyed man stepped out.

" Hi " I muttered almost inaudibly.

" Good to see you " he smiled as the driver kept the door open for me to enter.

Once we were both seated, the car drove off.
His pale skin matched the crispness of his black suit, tailored to perfection, likely in a high end London taylor's shop.

His car, clothes, smell and everything screamed sexy. To be honest, I felt like I was more than just infatuated to this man.

It's just a one sided crush , he doesn't like me back anyway. I smiled to myself at how much I was over thinking.

" How did you get my number? " I asked. He texted me alright and I clearly don't remember me giving my mobile number to him.

" I have my sources " he smirked and believe me it made shivers run down my spine.

There were a few moments of awkward silence until he decided to break it.

" Sana..."

It was somewhat nice and weird to have him call me by my first name , but wait , I didn't have a last name in the first place.

" Yes? " I responded.

" Is there anywhere particular you'd like to go? " he asked.

" Umm.. no. Not really " I titled my head a little and earned a faint smile from his oh so perfect face.

After that we barely spent ten minutes in the car before we arrived at the restaurant. I was the only one glancing and peeking at him every few minutes while he just sat across me mostly looking out of the window. My dress came up to less than half my thighs as I was sitting , he could've looked at me anytime but didn't. Not even a slight glance that'd make me uncomfortable in any way. Any other man in his place wouldn't let such an opportunity slip.

How much of a gentleman could you even be Akashi Seijuro? I held back the urge to smile this time because if I did and if he noticed , he'd probably end up thinking I'm some creep smiling at him every two seconds for no reason.

~~

A young male with orange hair approached the car once Akashi and I got out of it.

" Akashi San " he bowed a little and shook hands with the red head.

" Hayama.. is everything ready? " asked Akashi.

" Yes sir " he smiled and led us inside the huge restaurant.

Book two months in advance, not the kind of place you get a table on impulse.
We walked in and took an immediate left , away from the normal dining area. Every single person on our way either bowed or nodded a little acknowledging the red head's presence.

" People here seem to be afraid of you. Why? " I said.

" It's probably because I own this place " he smirked.

Before I could ponder about it further,
Akashi placed his right hand on the low of my back and I immediately stiffened. He fixed his tie with his left and walked with me . Hayama led us into the lift and to the top most floor of the building.

Excitement was building up inside me as every second passed . I resisted the urge to tap my foot impatiently until the lift reached up, up and above.
His hand remained on my back the whole time , and so did the blush on my cheeks. We soon reached the top , and stood in front of long , wide , milk white doors.

When Hayama opened it, my heart skipped a beat and my mouth slightly went agape.

A great hall with four walls and no ceiling . It was open to the sky , large mullioned windows, long embroidered curtains, a dark walnut table right in the middle of the hall, flowers on each vase , delicate live piano music, flagstone tile floor, embroidered chairs with splendidly proportioned cabriole legs, tea served from silver trays in white teapots. This place was literally heaven.

I bit my lip out of nervousness? Or was it happiness that took over? I was glad I came , I had never seen anything of this sort before. Obviously, I never went on a date before and I had the least idea that my first one would be this amazing.

" You like it? " Akashi whispered right next to my ear.

I gave him a nod and turned to find his face inches away from mine.

" I knew you would " he said and pulled back.

We sat across each other , and a waiter soon showed up and asked Akashi if he could bring up the food that was ordered.

He already ordered the food too? I thought I would eat something I liked. I guess it's okay, I let him bring me to one of the best restaurants in Japan, I might as well eat the food of his choice.

Not even a few minutes passed and our food arrived. I was hoping it wasn't some stupid salad , because seriously, I didn't want to eat raw vegetables and salt on my first date.
