To Love a Crow

By: Itachi Silverwolf

With the party wrapping up I was left hearing so many farewells. With that I decide to whisper to Itachi. The raven male returns my thought. It was time to depart. Though our travels home would be with company. I'd promised others my driver would take them home. All too drunk to drive themselves home and happy they had arrived with others. So here I gained the rowdy company. It was me, Itachi, and three other couples for the ride home. I could live with that as long as they only eyeballed each other.

I choose to give my farewells with the younger male on my arm. I'm a bit jealous watching the female from before kiss Itachi on the cheek during her own goodbye. I knew that for many the drinking would continue. I was not sure about Itachi. So far I had watched him handle three shots of single malt scotch like a pro. Obviously he'd drank before.

Watching all pile in I smirk as I feel Itachi lean against me. The temperature was cooler now. Everyone happily makes conversation while helping themselves to champaigne. Even I know Itachi would not be into the drinks being passed around, but I try to hide my surprise as one of the couples springs a dinner reservation all us all. Dinner with Itachi sounded like heaven for the moment. Though I was certain part of that decision was my drunkeness; the other part had to be my newly discovered obsession.

I'm left being the one telling my driver of new plans. Though I'm hardly bothered when I notice painted nails against my thigh briefly. I couldn't tell if he was admiring polish he hadn't removed or seriously teasing me. Though I had to admit the move was bolder than the leaning he'd done before.

Moving my coat slightly to cover Itachi's jacket doesn't even gain me a look. I mutter to him that I didn't expect to be going to dinner at this hour. The whisper back only states that he didn't mind the idea. It is only then that I think about how much of an idiot I must seem for not being the one with the idea of dinner. After all the party wsn't for a meal it was for mingling.

With our arrival at the restaurant I feel Itachi's grip tighten just a bit. Obviously he didn't want me to be so quick with my exit. In truth there was no way I could be with such a creature at my side. I knew the rules of this part of the date well. The bill for the meal was on me. Itachi was not accountable. Even if this part of our encounter went sour I was responsible for the bill. Such were the rules of this game. I take my time in leaving the limosine bringing Itachi along with me. Though upon sight we all all brought to a 'more private' set of tables.

I realize very swiftly by the muttering between the rest the bill will be per couple. That made things easier on me. I wouldn't have to sit and sort out which portion of the bill was mine. I blink a bit as I hear Itachi's voice asking me if I was still all right with all of this. My response is a firm nod. After all it didn't wish to feel like an idiot now.

With orders placed I realize the raven male chose on of the least expensive items on the menu. I try to ponder if I should be offended or not. During my thoughts I feel Itachi's leg brush against mine a bit. I give a small smirk as a watch flecked eyes focus on me as if asking me of my thoughts. I mutter something about business parties being a mere annoyance and receive a small chuckle as a reply. I couldn't tell if he was humoring me or if he seriously was amused.

Dinner moves along smoothly. I noticed unlike the others and even myself Itachi stay away from more alcohol. I on the other hand had chosen a glass of wine with dinner. I was a bit surprised when Itachi chose to sipe a taste of my dessert. But I was far from bothered. The drive between houses was far from silent. Most of which Itachi remained seated next to me in silence. Though upon arrival in front of agency door I receive quitea surprise. Itachi moves closer just briefly watching me a bit. I have this chance to actually notice the crimson flecked through his dark eyes until I feel his lips against mine. The kiss this time is slightly demanding with Itachi in control. I hear the words 'good night' as he slides from the seat and out of the limosine.

It didn't take long for me to decide I wanted another taste. It didn't take long for Itachi to shut the door in my face with a bit of a snicker. A pout crossing my lips I realize I could enter the agency and request the raven male a second time come this evening. Instead of stepping towards the car I enter moments behind Itachi cursing myself for having an attraction to a date I paid for. It just wasn't right.

The glance back over his shoulder sends me chills. The half a smirk only proves he also thinks it's funny. I watch him disappear towards the back while removing the top. I so wanted what I saw! Raven hair fell against exposed flesh as the tie was removed. As I hear someone speak I watch Itachi continue to disappear. Distracted while being asked questions the woman behind the counter becomes frustrated with me. She soon calls my crush back to the counter.

I'm really at a lose of words when such a sexy creature stands before me wrapped in a couple thin layers. The lower being fishnet. The jeans he had on were torn at the knee. He looked comfortable. I hear a bit of laughter as he glances towards the pages in front of the frustrated female. I hear the words just put him down for tonight, along with a muttered not busy. Oh hell! Was this a set up? There's a small glance at me from Itachi followed by a bit of a grin and words see you later. The half stumbled walk away told me he was tired. The two words were like bells ringing in my brain. I find it hard to register the cash I'm pulling from my wallet. I'm left feeling very awkward when I'm handed back a few hundred dollars and told if there was anything strange I wanted she wasn't the one to speak to. Feeling very sheepish I shove the leftover money into my wallet.

I find it hard to keep up with the needed question while watching Itachi mingle among others employed by this azure haired female. I look even dumber when I give half a growl to hearing Itachi answer his cell phone with a grin. Who the hell was on the other side of that call? I had to know! Hearing the words 'love ya' stated so casually I feel I might end up fuming only lower my head ashamed hearing the Japanese word for younger brother. Now I'm the stupid one!

I watch the female laugh at me a bit. Before she moves aside some. What she gives me a view of only serves to give her a second laugh. She's enjoying me looking like an idiot obviously. I couldn't hear the music. I could see the wire attached to the earbuds. It was a fair assumption to make considering a saw no sign of headphones. The small bounce of Itachi's hip with a rhythm only he heard drew my attention likea magnet. I only had my attention stole back when the female blocked my view. It was time to go! I had a feeling I was all ready considered a fool.

Stepping back out to the street I know well that along with our next date could come serveral warnings. I mean with the show I put on I wouldn't be surprised it the lady was calling me later to return my money. I really hoped that call would not come my way. Instead I hoped to hear that knock at the door and see the raven male on the other side as I opened the door.
