Hi, hi! Suit and Tie chapter 2! I have faith in this story, and it's seems, some of you think the same. I am happy about the reviews and follows and favourites, so I give you this chapter as fast as I can.
Enjoy.
I finally got out of that building. It felt like I couldn't breathe, so getting some fresh air was like heaven now. I couldn't shake off that feeling, that Shizuo was inspecting me, like I was an undercover agent or serial killer.
I had to start work early tomorrow, so I had time to get ready for it. If I had to start working today, I think I would have barfed from the nervousness. I had to calm down and relax, and Kadots's café sounded really great right now.
Kadota was my friend from college, and he owned a small café in the centre of the city with his gang or friends, which I had met a while back in graduation. They were all nice, but sometimes a little too cheerful for me.
I called a taxi, this time with a different driver and gave him the address of the café, getting comfortable in the vehicle. I shifted in the seat, hearing the papers in my pocket crunch. The ride would be long enough for me to reread them, so I pulled the folded papers out of my fur trim coat, unfolding them.
The file contained a contract copy, a tip page on how to work for him, and other not so important things. I didn't get the time to read the tip page on the interview, so I headed for that. It was written in his writing, not printed. Hell, even his writing style was gorgeous.
I welcome you, Orihara-san to the staff of Heiwajima CO. I am going to leave a few tips for you to settle in and feel comfortable.
. Always be polite, when you are spoken to.
. If you receive any papers that are addressed to me, hand them in as soon as possible.
. Dress casual, but formal enough.
. Don't talk back to your superiors.
. If you ever get harassed or feel uncomfortable, let me know immediately.
Huh, how ironic. At least this place will stand up for the harassed people. Not like that asshole. Now, continue.
. Be to work on time. If you are early, it's only more admirable.
. If there is a meeting in my office, prepare tea and anything I will ask for in the future.
. Do everything I tell you to. As you will be my assistant, you will work with me, only you will have your own desk in the hall, by my door.
. Don't be afraid to ask of anything from me. I won't bite.
. Always carry your phone around with you, so I could call you anytime I need to.
I you follow these tips, you will have no problem with fitting in. I wish you a good day and a soon meeting again.
Heiwajima Shizuo.
Okay, it didn't seem that bad. I felt relieved instantly knowing I wouldn't need to work in the same room as him. If I did, I think I would pass out from nervousness in his presence. But I couldn't let go my fascination of him. He looked like a nice guy, but I had that feeling he was hiding something.
By this time, the taxi had arrived at the café. I folded the papers again, climbing out of the car and paying the driver and tipping him. He thanked me and drove away, as I made my way to the entrance of the building.
...
The building was a two story house made of wood, and was very cosy. It was open from the early morning to late night. The raven entered the café. It was decorated pretty simple with a few paintings of fruit and nature scenes. Some of them were painted by Izaya. He was a very good artist, but not pursuing his future as one. His friends always encouraged him to do so, but the raven always brushed them off, saying he had to take a job, where he could brush up his social skills.
The café was family and friends friendly, some couples even chose this place for a quiet date. Soft music was playing from the speakers in the building, making a comfortable atmosphere. A small crowd was now visiting the place, their quiet chatter sounding like the cicada buzzing in a warm summer night.
The raven made his way to the bar, taking a seat on one of the stools, tapping his fingernails, waiting for the waitress, that served the cafe.
A girl a little younger as Izaya exited the back room of the bar, a black cap on her head. She was wearing a black waitress uniform, carrying a small menu in her slightly tanned hands. Once she spotted Izaya sitting at the counter, a big smile formed on her face as she put down the menu in front of him, jumping at him for a tight hug.
''Iza-chan, you're back!'' The girl squealed, her tight grip cutting off the supply of oxygen for the dark haired male.
''E-Erika-san, p-please, let g-go. I c-can't breath.'' Izaya pushed past his lips, using his last supply of air in his lungs, before the girl jumped off of him, letting him breath in a big gulp of air.
''Sorry about that.''
''It's okay. Is Kadota here?'' Izaya asked. Erika just nodded, returning to the back room and calling her boss, who worked as a bartender. The girl took her orders and went to serve to the people, as a man in a beanie walked out of the back room, dressed in a bartender uniform. He saw Izaya sitting by the bar, smiling.
''Yo, Izaya.'' Kadota greeted. The raven turned his head towards the bartender, smiling back, waving his hand.
''Yo.''
Kadota took his place by the bar, pulling out two crystal clean glasses.
''So, what do you want to drink? Is it a good day or a shitty day?'' Kadota teased. Izaya smiled a sly grin, his eye's giggling. ''Ah, so it's a 'saw a hot guy' day. Sex On The Beach it is.''
Izaya chocked on his own saliva. ''Dotachin!?'' Izaya yelled, blushing madly, making heads turn his way.
''Just kidding.'' Kadota smirked, a spurt of laughter escaping his mouth. ''The usual?''
''Canario, of course.'' Izaya placed his order, as the hatted man was already pulling out the needed ingredients from their shelves.
''So, tell me everything. Where did you get the 'dream job', and who is this guy?'' Kadota asked, pouring the mandarin and lime juice into the tall glass. Izaya blushed again, sinking into his seat even more, hiding his face in his hands.
''Ehjima Chizuo.'' Izaya mumbled, making the dark haired male raise an eyebrow. Unknowing to them, Erika was standing just behind Izaya, finished with her orders. The raven raised his head, spurting out fast. ''Heiwajima Shizuo.''
The drink Kadota was mixing almost dropped out of his hands. His eye's grew, jaw popping open.
''Heiwajima Shizuo?! The richest man in whole Japan, most desirable bachelor by women, is now YOUR BOSS?!'' Kadota almost screamed.
''Yep, I'm his personal assistant from tomorrow.'' Izaya said blushing even more.
A high pitched squeal sounded throughout the café, as Erika heard the news.
''Izaya! Oh my god, you have a relationship with Heiwajima Shizuo!? Tell me the details?!'' Erika squealed in Izaya's ear.
''Oh my god, no! It's not like that! I just met the guy today! But I do have to admit, he is quite the looker. And not just in photo's.''
Erika was trying to drown out her squeals, but some escaped from her mouth, capturing the attention from the guests. Kadota had finished mixing Izaya's drink, serving the orange drink for the raven, who instantly dived right in, sipping on the straw.
Erika couldn't stand it any-more, the excitement bubbling over the edge. ''It's just like in that book I read a while back. He is totally going to seduce you and make you his se-''
Before Erika could finish her sentence, Kadota slapped a hand over the girls mouth, silencing her, before going to help the raven, who was chocking on his drink.
Damn, what a headache. Thats my fault for drinking last night until 10. I shifted in my bed, turning off the alarm clock, seeing it was 6 in the morning. I climbed out of the bed, heading for a shower. The water was really nice against my sweaty skin. After the shower, I had to choose what to wear. Casual but formal enough. Hmm.. I chose a dark blue, almost black button up shirt with black pants and a silver watch on my wrist, ditching the obnoxious tie.
I gathered all my papers in my bag, packing in some pens and pencils and other things. Going just for a toast and orange juice (plus aspirin) for breakfast, I grabbed my key's, wallet and phone, locking my apartment and heading down the stairs to the lobby, where the bitchy landlady Namie-san was sitting, her decent looking face scrunched in an ugly scowl. Man, she could be such bitch sometimes.
I called a taxi, surprised that it was the same old guy as yesterday, who drove me there in 15 minutes.
''Oh hi there. Do you remember me? You drove me yesterday to Heiwajima CO.''
''Oh, yes. You were that nice young man. Where to today sir?''
''The same place.''
''Oh, do you work there, son?''
''As a matter of fact, I'm starting today.''
''Well, congratulations son on such a great job.''
''Thank you very much.''
And with that, a comfortable silence fell in the car, as we headed once again for the tall building that was Heiwajima CO. I felt my pocket, making sure that my ID and code card was present, which I was glad for. If I lost anything on the first day, they would have my head on a silver platter, displayed on the reception desk, instead of the candy bowl.
Once we got there, I tipped the man once again, for what the old man was happy about, and wishing a nice day, I headed to the glass sliding door of my new job, greeting a good morning to Anri and heading for the elevator, punching the button of the last floor, typing in the code from my card, to access it. The higher I got, the more nervous I got. And when the door opened I headed down the corridor, passing many offices before stopping in front of the door of Mr. Heiwajima's office, where a lone desk with a black slim laptop and a spinning leather chair was displayed on a small platform, which could be reached by climbing up three glass steps.
I put down my bag on the desk, walking up the stairs, but as soon as my foot set on the first step, I realized how slippery it really was, and I started to fall. Well, this was going to hurt like a bitch. The first injury on my first day of work. Awaiting the cold and hard floor, I was surprised when I felt something soft and warm catch me in my fall. I opened my eye's, looking up. Shizuo's soft caramel eye's stared back at me. He had caught me from falling to the ground. He smiled his million dollar smile, and said only two simple words, that made me blush red like a stop sign.
''Careful now.''
