They had their first argument on the way back to the mansion. He could have warned her. He could have told her that his father was a spiteful, old bastard. He could have. He couldn't have. He was not to blame for his father's moods, but she couldn't help being angry with Shinobi. She felt like he left her wide open for his father's remarks.
What was it? She was just another pretty face among many. She wondered how many women Shinobi took to meet his father before her. Had they begged to meet his father as she had or was it done willingly on his part? Did his father have nothing but snide comments to offer those other women as well or was it just her?
What was she thinking dating Shinobi? She should be focusing on her lesson plans instead of traipsing around the city like a teenager. She should have been worrying about villains instead of spending time in Shinobi's bed. She had her priorities all skewed because of a man, a man who would probably move on at any time – if you listened to his father.
When did it stop being about just having fun?
