Hi, Hi, Hi. Princess is back with another chapter of Suit and Tie. I have very good news. Two of you lovely fans responded to my invite on KakaoTalk, and I can't wait to chat with you again. I hope you all like this chapter, and talk to you all later.

Enjoy.

Time until the grand ball: 1 day and 6 hours.

It's almost time for the ball. The event, that will skyrocket our company. And the night that everybody will see me together with Shizuo, as his date.

We have been keeping out relationship secret for all this time, but not going further than making out. But I have that feeling, that it's soon going to go much further. He was nothing but sweet to me, always asking what I liked and what I didn't. He sometimes even asked me if I was 'ready'. I always said that we should wait, but I think that I myself am holding back. I must leave the past behind me, and look at the present and future. I really want this to work.

So today is the last day of work, since we have all of tomorrow to get ready. I had just finished my paperwork, and talked with the staff, when I suddenly got a text in my phone. It was from him.

From: Shizu-chan

To: Izzy

Hey, Izzy. I wanted to talk to you. Can you come up by my office? :*

Shizu-chan.

At some point in this thing, we gave each-other nicknames. It broke the ice in this relationship, and I was glad we thought of it.

I excused myself, heading for the elevator. As I reached the top floor, I just realized that it was very late, and dark, many of the staff already gone home. As I went past the office's, I heard the now usual sounds from behind the doors.

''Kida-kun, not so rough, ah!''

''Hmm? But I thought you liked when I was rough. Do you need a reminder of why you liked it?''

''AH! That's the spot! Mmh..''

I creeped closer to the door, busting it open, seeing the now familiar scene of the two guys on top of one of their desks. Hmm, so today it's Mikado's desk..

''So you guy's need anything? Some snacks, a condom?''

Their expressions were hilarious. Mikado blushed red to the ears, while Kida abruptly stilled, trying to kill me with his glare, which only made me laugh more. The blond boy threw his belt at me, which I quickly blocked with the door, walking to Shizuo's office, still holding my stomach from the laughing. I reached the familiar wooden door with the silver doorknobs, knocking once, before entering.

The lights in the office were turned off, a red blanket on the floor, some candles placed out all over the room. A bucket filled with ice held a bottle with expensive looking wine, a small dinner placed on the blanket like a picnic. There was a plate of cheese, some crackers, strawberries and some melted chocolate next to two chilled crystal wine glasses.

''What is all this?''

He looked up at me from the blanket, pulling off his suit jacket, piling up more pillows on the blanket, before turning on some soft music with a black remote, which he shoved under a pillow.

''Why not relax tonight, as tomorrow will be such a stressful day. I think it's a good idea. Care to join me?''

I hesitated a bit, but nodded, taking my place beside him, as he popped open the wine bottle, filling up two glasses, before handing one to me. We clinked our glasses together, before tipping our heads back, drinking the beverage, savoring the rich taste.

We ate and drank, and then moved onto the chocolate strawberries. He laid his head in my lap, slightly opening his mouth, to make me plop the fruit in his mouth.

''Hmm. It's delicious. You should try it too.''

But as I reached for another berry, he leaned down to my lips, capturing them in a strawberry tasting kiss. After a while we broke apart, making us both sigh in happiness.

''Mhm, it's good.''

''Glad you like it.''

We ate more a while, until he pulled me up in my feet, wrapping his hands around my waist, making me wrap my hands around his neck, as we danced slowly to the music.

It was about 1 AM, when he brought me home.

And after this night, I had a great night sleep, accompanied by a delicious dream about him.

Time until the grand ball: 4 hours.

After the good night sleep, I started to get ready for tonight. I pulled out my costume, calling Erika to help me put it on for later, as I turned on the TV, while cleaning up my apartment, while I cooked some light dinner for me, before popping into the shower.

I used a mango and orange shampoo, trying to impress Shizuo, as he liked my sweet smell, as he had told me himself. After drying off, I brushed my teeth, waiting for Erika to come and help me get into the pretty tight costume.

Once she finished, I was dressed in black fabric pants, a golden belt on my hips, a stripped shirt with a vest and a coat, that hanged to almost my knees, and knee high boots covered my feet. I put on a black pirate hat with a small feather, just as the doorbell rang. Before I could get to the door, Erika had opened it first, lightly chatting away with Shizuo. He laughed at something she said, as I entered the hallway, fixing my attire.

''Izaya, you look beautiful.''

His comment made me blush, as Erika tried to hold in a squeal. Just as I left the apartment, the girl sprayed on some cologne on me the last second.

''Erika!''

''Don't be home early! Or better, don't return at all tonight! I'll lock up.''

I blushed at her remark, as Shizuo extended his elbow for me to take, which I did, and we made our way towards the limousine.

Time until the grand ball: 20 minutes.

''Hey, Izaya, don't be nervous. It's gonna be okay.''

He tried to calm me down, pulling me on his lap. It was weird, but it kinda calmed me down, as I relaxed in his lap, his fingers tracing my hips, drawing invisible circles into my skin, which made me shiver.

The drive wasn't long enough for my liking, as we exited the car, heading for the glass door of the building. I could hear the chatter from the ballroom, someone talking on the microphone.

''We are all glad you could make it tonight for the Heiwajima CO organized costume ball. And now, without further ado, the big man himself- Shizuo Heiwajima with his escort Izaya Orihara.

Time until the grand ball: 0 minutes.

Okay, fate. It's showtime...

Sorry for the lame and short chapter, but I had to get ready for the big ball chapter, which is gonna be very long (I hope). I hope you liked this filler, as I liked writing it.

Sorry for any grammar mistakes and the shortness...

I hope you have a great night/day,

PrincessEvaOfTheZone.
