Finding Love
Chapter 8
After exchanging a few more words Signum closed the link, letting out a sigh as she said so. At least Hayate trusted her enough to not need an explanation from her. She looked in front of her to find Touya missing. She finished her coffee, washed the cup and went to look for him. She found him coming out of the bathroom with only his pants on, his dirty clothes in one hand as he so conveniently dumped them into the laundry basket nearby. Signum studied him for a moment. He had muscles lining his arms and torso. His shoulders were broad and finely shaped. If any other woman saw him topless like this they would probably faint out of admiration. Signum was not like that but she couldn't help but notice how well-built he was and there were a rare number of men who looked like that. She felt her heart skip a beat but she mentally scolded herself and walked into the living room as if she had seen nothing, a slight blush on her cheeks.
Touya had put on his shirt when she entered. He watched her walk across the room with her normal regal air being one of the reasons she's wanted by most men. It was her natural beauty as a woman, her personality being the reason why men rarely approach her. He noted that she was still wearing the dress she wore last night. In the event of things he had not noticed that the dress actually hugged her figure slightly, revealing her curves and the fact that it was sleeveless showed her firm arms off. He shook his head as he cleared his thoughts, cursing himself for being so weak. He walked over to her.
"I will take a cab to the office. I thank you for kindly housing me for the night. I shall treat you to lunch later in the day to repay you." She said as put on her boots and walked out of his apartment and down to the street. Touya wanted to refuse the offer and tell her it wasn't necessary but she had already hailed an oncoming cab on the street and went in.
'Guess I'll have to tell her later.' He mused.
Stopping a cab was never difficult for Signum, why, because of her looks. Though the downside to this is that the driver tends to flirt a lot to which most is ignorable but some would go so far as to want to conveniently change destinations to somewhere else. When this happens Signum would just conveniently show off Laevatein in all its glory and flash her TSAB badge. She was only ever glad of the badge for that particular reason. She arrived at the office easily enough, the driver this time round being quite respectable. That's a first. Signum hastily made her way to her office to avoid being seen in the dress and found a bag with her clothes and shoes in it. She was thankful that Hayate had been kind enough to have done her this small favour but she paled when she noticed that her mistress had forgotten to take her pantyhose for her.
Not having much choice she put on her garments and changed out of the dress, folding it nicely and putting it in the bag along with the white boots. Like it or not she has to go without her pantyhose for a day. If Hayate had taken her armed corps under suit uniform she could have worn it without the pantyhose just fine, unfortunately that was not going to happen. A moment later Touya stepped into the room. He looked at Signum quizzically and noticed that she was missing something from her daily attire.
"You aren't wearing stockings. Hayate forgot them?" he asked as he scanned her. She glared at him and he turned away.
"Ok... So she did. Why don't we get on with the day?" trying to change the subject.
Touya completely forgot about wanting to tell Signum that she needn't treat him to anything as he was distracted by the fact that she was not wearing her pantyhose, revealing her firm and slim legs. He couldn't stop staring at her and eventually his mind floated elsewhere for who knows how long.
He walked over to her and put his hand under her chin and pulled her face up to meet his in a passionate kiss. He used the momentum of the kiss and pushed her against the table, forcing her to sit as he spread her legs open. He then ran his hands through her hair, kissing her hungrily, wanting more with each passing moment. They parted and looked at each other lovingly.
"Touya, I love...."
Signum knocked on his table to get his attention. He blinked several times before realising that she was standing right in front of him.
"Are you ok? What were you looking at?" she asked, a displeasing look on her face.
"Nothing, what is it?" he replied, hoping she would not harp on it. Fortunately for him she was not one to bother about other people's business.
"Its lunch and I owe you for last night. Let's go." She reminded him, dragging him out of his chair in the process. Touya concluded that she was not going to take no for an answer.
They walked out into the parking lot as Touya told her to wait while he went to get his ride. She waited for a while when she saw a man on a motorcycle approach wearing a black helmet. He lifted the front cover to reveal that it was Touya. Signum was surprised that he rode this kind of vehicle. Most men nowadays choose cars for unlikely reasons.
"Here's a helmet. Strap it on and hold fast." He told her, passing her a helmet similar to the one he was wearing, the only difference of the colour being white.
Signum could not put it on with her hair tied up so she let her hair loose and kept her ribbon aside. She got on behind him and held onto his shoulders as he sped off. Signum was irritated at the fact that her legs felt very exposed and she did not like it one bit. She wished she were wearing jeans or pants. When they reached a nearby restaurant, Signum took off the helmet and fixed her hair, tying it up in its usual style. Touya was amazed at how fast she can tie her hair up like that without much effort. Truth being that Signum always uses a bit of magic to speed things up slightly, another being the fact that she was used to it.
They entered the restaurant and were seated. After handing in their orders Touya decided to ask her the question he had been meaning to ask before Hayate had called.
"Signum, did you have some bad experiences with men? You seem to know when men want to make a move on you." Signum raised a brow at his question.
"I've been around men long enough to know. I don't remember having anything anywhere near good in experience with men so I can't really say for sure." She plainly told him. She didn't want to talk about it but at least she wasn't lying, just telling him half the truth.
"Oh, I see. So you see it from your encounters with men is it?" deciding to want to know more about her.
"Yes. I've never been in a relationship so I don't really know much." She plainly replied, sipping her drink when it had arrived. Touya made several small guesses knowing that most of it would offend her and decided not to voice it.
