Obsession

Two Years prior
I had a major craving. I had to go out of my way to get the cookie dough ice cream I wanted so badly. Thank god the line wasn't long or else I would have died. That's the reason why I loved this place so much, not many people came here. I was in a daze fantasizing about the ice cream I was about to retrieve when the cashier snapped me out of it.
"What can I get you?" She asked with a fake smile.
I could have the creamy sensation in my mouth sooner than I thought.
"Can I get a medium Cookie Dough Ice Cream please?" I asked her.
I waited patiently as the lady got my order together. Tapping my well-manicured nails on the counter I felt a presence behind me. I guess someone other than myself had a craving for some ice cream also.
"That would be $1.75," the cashier said, pushing my order to me on top the counter.
I dug into my back pocket to pull out the money, but before I could two dollars were slapped onto the table from behind me. I turned; wanting to see who it was that was offering to pay for what I ordered.
He was taller than myself, maybe by three or four inches. The man was extremely good looking, he had striking amber eyes and dark red hair. He moved from behind me to stand by my side and lean on the counter.
"I got it gorgeous," he said in cocky way.
I rolled my eyes and sighed.
"$1.75 that's really something," I replied sarcastically.
I swiped my ice cream off of the counter and made my way over to a table. I sat down only to be joined with the red head.
"If you'll let me take you out sometime I would be more than willing to spend as much money as needed on you gorgeous," he answered with a smirk. He really thought that he could just waltz up to me and ask me out like that?
I let out a chuckle.
"How do I know I won't be wasting my time on you?" I asked while putting a spoon full of cookie dough into my mouth. His amber eyes immediately falling onto my full lips.
"I promise I'll make it worth your while," he answered hardly above a whisper.
Well at least he was confident.
"My name is Kaoru," I simply stated.
"Kaoru," he murmured, testing my name. "I like it gorgeous, a pretty name to go with a pretty face. Kenshin Himura."
I nodded and then lowered my head.
"Are you going to give me you're number beautiful?"
I laughed at this. Was I really that appealing to him?
"That depends..." I replied.
"On what?"
Laughing I answered, "On where you plan on taking me for this so called date."
What kind of person asks someone out and doesn't tell them where they are going? Now how was I suppose to know what to wear?
I finally settled on a dressy black top that showed quite a bit of cleavage, faded jeans, and black heels.
I was so excited, which was very odd for me since going on dates was nothing new. But I had to admit he was very good looking, I didn't even know this guy and I was already swept off my feet.
I gave into him and gave him my cell phone number and address, he told me he would pick me up at 9:00 and it was now 8:59. Which was highly disappointing for me since any man I date needs to be on time for any occasion.
A smile formed on my lips when I heard a knock at the door. I take back what I said he's here at exactly 9:00.
I did a check over in the mirror to make sure I looked okay, then grabbed my Coach bag of my dresser and made my way downstairs.
I opened the door to be greeted with the familiar handsome face from the ice cream parlor.
He took me to a homey place, a place where you could relax and not worry about anyone being in your face. It wasn't crowded at all, maybe because everything in the place looked really expensive; it probably cost a great amount of cash to get in. It was a very expensive place to relax, in other words the best looking lounge I have ever been to.
Not to mention the service was great too.
We followed the waiter to our own little private area where we could be alone. That must have cost extra. But hey I'm not complaining.
"What do you think gorgeous?" he asked me while smirking.
Would he drop that already?
"It's a very beautiful here. Though being called gorgeous is very flattering I have a name or have you forgotten it already?
"Of course I haven't forgotten such a beautiful name. I'm not the asshole your making me out to be Kaoru," he replied amused.
I nodded my head in approval.
"What do you do?" I was so interested in knowing since he would spend such a large amount of money on a girl he barely knows.
"I really don't want to say in public," he said in a sincere voice, "Let's talk about something else. Ask me any questions you desire."
I smiled at this.
"Okay then, so...how many girlfriends have you had? If that's too personal, how many woman do you hit on a day? Is it something that just happens or is it part of your daily schedule?" I asked looking dead in his eyes.
He looked at me and seemed to be thinking. I'm sure he wasn't expecting that.
He cleared his throat and answered my previous question, not wanting to talk about that topic.
"I work with the...
