Happy GoChi Day
Chichi set the coffee cup down on the saucer as her foot impatiently hit the floor. She looked at the watch on her wrist once more and sighed. She was about to pick up her cell phone again when she finally heard a voice: "Sorry, sorry, sorry! I'm here!"
"Damn it, Bulma, I thought you weren't coming anymore!" she grumbled, staring into the bright blue eyes in front of her. "They were about to kick me out of here. The waiting line is so freaking long. I had to order my coffee already, otherwise, they would kick me out."
"Damn, I know, Chichi, I'm sorry, but I'm already here." Bulma smiled.
"What happened?"
"If I tell you, promise you won't get mad?"
Chichi squinted her eyes. "I got it! You woke up late for a change!" she said sarcastically. "And yet you had time to get all dolled up!"
"Oh! I had to, okay! I was a mess!" Bulma replied hurriedly as she took her order on the coffee app. "I had a pretty intense night if you ask me."
"Hm... let me guess." Chichi crossed her arms. "You spent the night with someone, didn't you?"
Bulma gave a weak smile and tossed her blue hair behind her ear.
"Yeah…"
"Bitch!"
Bulma shrugged and Chichi took another sip of coffee. "So tell me, who is the guy?"
"Ah, no one in particular..." the bluenette sounded too casual for Chichi's taste. "A guy I met yesterday."
"Where?"
"Well... do you remember that site Launch told us on the other day?"
It took Chichi a few seconds to remember what site her other friend had commented on, and she widened her eyes in disbelief as soon as she remembered. "Did you hire an escort? No way!" she hissed quietly.
"Well..." Bulma shrugged. "I was curious after Launch told me about that site.
"You're kidding, right? What's for?"
"Oh why, to find out what it's like!"
"Bulma! You don't need that, my friend, you're beautiful and young, just snap your fingers and dozens of guys will show up to be with you."
"I know, but it's not the same... Anyway, it was an experiment, no big deal." the blue-haired woman made a sign of disregard with her hand. "It's good for when you feel like doing it. You just call it, program it, and off you go. He shows up at your door, does everything you want, you don't need all that work of going out to dinner, exchanging phone numbers, flirting and flirting until you know if it's going to happen at my place or his, and besides, you always get that suspicion: is the guy good, is he going to make me cum? In this case, there is no such thing. It is practical and accurate."
Chichi looked at her with a mixture of confusion and curiosity, and while the waitress delivered the orders, she kept thinking about what her friend had just revealed.
"Well, how was it? How was the guy?" she asked as soon as the waitress left the table.
"It was pretty good! I liked him." Bulma smiled before taking a cup of coffee. "He was tall, had black long hair, and wore it tied up in a low ponytail, very sexy. He had a body that... my goodness, just looking at it made my mouth water and my pussy get soaked. He was extremely gentle, and affectionate, he asked me if I liked it, if I wanted to change if I wanted one way or another. It was very different from all the guys I have ever had sex with. He treated me like a real queen."
Chichi's eyes widened. "Wow! But how does it work? I mean, did you choose the person? Or did the agency send you a random one?"
"Ah, yes, this one I chose, but the site has no photos, which is to preserve their identity. Obviously, all kinds of devices such as cameras, cell phones, etc. are prohibited, precisely so that they do not leak intimate photos or anything like that about them. But I looked at the description of the site, it seemed attractive and then I scheduled it at my place."
"At your place, Bulma? Are you crazy? He could try something, steal you, or whatever...
"Of course not! Everything's insured by the agency, so I had no worries at all. My real fear was that the description was misleading and some ugly guy would show up there, but if I didn't like him, I could just send him away and pay a travel fee... but... my dear friend..." Bulma shook herself comically. "That man was a spectacle."
"Wow, I'm shocked. I really am..."
"You should try it sometime."
"Are you nuts?"
"Hey! What's the problem?!"
Chichi ran her hand over her arm. "Well, it's kinda weird..."
"Bullshit. After a hot guy comes knocking on your door, ready to do anything you want and leave you fully satisfied, you'll change your mind."
"I don't think so..."
"Well, if you ever want to try, just let me know and I can arrange it for you."
"Bulma!" Chichi huffed.
"I'm just saying..."
#####
That was, hands off, one of the worst dates of her life. Chichi was stressed out, completely wet because she had been caught in a rainstorm and was very, very cold.
The only thing she wanted was to get home soon and forget that date had ever happened.
So much investment. She had gotten all dressed up that night, shaved, put on her best lingerie, put on some great makeup, and gone to the restaurant where they had arranged to meet. They had been talking by messages for a few days, they had met through one of these dating apps. The guy, named Granolah, was handsome, she had no doubt about that, but he was a complete jerk. By the cell, he didn't seem to be as much of a jerk as he was at dinner, where he turned out to be rude, arrogant, and self-centered.
And about sex?
The worst of her life.
All that trouble for, what? Three minutes? No foreplay?!
That had to be a joke.
The only reason she had overlooked the terrible dinner and decided to go to his apartment was that she was willing to give him a chance, after all, through messages they got along well-ish, and they even had a certain affinity...? And the second round was even worse that she shuddered at the thought of it. There was a moment when she had simply had enough of it. It wasn't good, it wasn't cool. She decided to leave, grabbed her things and left, even in the rain, even in frustration, it was better than staying there.
When she got home, she took off her wet clothes and stepped into the shower to clean herself and remove all that guy's traces from her body. As soon as she got out, she put on warm, fluffy pajamas, prepared a mug of hot chocolate, and sat down on her comfortable sofa to watch her favorite series.
Now that was good. Much better than that date, than that guy, than that frustrating sex.
But that's what she always did.
Chichi was a very beautiful woman. She had long black hair, a medium height, and a beautiful body – because she exercised every day. She was in her thirties and had a well-established career as an Executive Search at a major consultancy.
However, as far as her love life was concerned... well, let's just say that she had been very dedicated to her career and had put other matters aside. She had suitors, it wasn't hard to get a date, being as attractive and intelligent as she was, but – she couldn't tell if because of her age, she had become a little more demanding with her choices; but all her recent dates had been disastrous.
And as much as a woman could be very happy with her vibrator, there were some moments when she craved more intimate physical contact. Which led to that whole hellish cycle of going out, meeting someone, talking, flirting, and finally having sex.
Was it too much to ask for just one night of sex with someone decent? Possibly someone with whom she could, I don't know, maybe even start a relationship? It was not her main focus, nor her most primary goal, but she could not deny that she also wanted to find a boyfriend.
Or not, maybe she just wanted a good fuck for once!
An alert on her cell phone caught her attention, it was a message from Launch in her friends' group. When she opened the message she saw that it was an obscene gif that made her laugh. It reminded her of the conversation she had with Bulma a few days ago and on that site that Launch herself had commented on.
Maybe... maybe she could have one night of just sex, no strings attached and with someone minimally decent.
#####
She couldn't stop shaking her leg out of nervousness and anxiety. Luckily, she wasn't a nail-biter, but she was starting to consider the idea since all the joints in her fingers were already cracking.
What was she thinking when she had that crazy idea?
Ah yes, in the frustration resulting from her last bad date.
But calling a male escort? Wouldn't she have gone too far?
Would there still be time to cancel?
Chichi looked at the clock on the wall. In a few minutes, her escort would arrive, there would be no more time. She'd have to move on. Besides, she'd have to contact Bulma to make the cancellation, since it was her friend who had arranged everything, and certainly, the blue-haired woman wouldn't let her give up.
It had been at least a week since Bulma had organized everything for her. Since she wasn't comfortable doing this in her own apartment, Chichi decided to rent an Airbnb just for the occasion. Bulma, who had made contact with the agency, had given her the details of the place, time, and her friend's preferences.
What was left to her at that moment was just: wait. And maybe drink a little wine to make her a little less anxious...
She even considered turning her cell phone back on and checking social networks to distract her mind a bit, but she preferred not to touch it or she would run the serious risk of giving up.
The clock struck seven. She took a big sip of wine.
Seven oh five. Still no doorbell. She took another long gulp of wine.
Seven ten. Still no doorbell, and she took a little more wine.
She was already almost halfway through the bottle and her nervousness was only increasing. At this rate, she would finish the bottle before her companion arrived.
Seven thirteen, the doorbell rang!
Carefully, Chichi put the glass on the table, fixed her hair and the robe she was wearing over a beautiful lingerie, and then went to answer the door. He was a little late, but that didn't matter.
When she opened the door, the image she saw left her completely breathless. Was that a man or a Greek God?
"Oh, hello!" he flashed a gentle smile... And by God, what a smile that was!
The man was tall and strong, with lightly tanned skin, dark eyes, and unruly black hair that perfectly adorned his beautiful, angelic, almost innocent face. No beard. Just the way she liked it.
It took a few seconds for her senses to return and for her to be able to pay attention to what he was saying.
"Your key! You left it hanging in the lock." he said as he waved the house keychain in his hands.
"Oh, right. Thank you!" she answered as she took the keys from his hand and let him in.
His dark eyes stared at her doubtfully and she encouraged him by nodding: "Please, come in."
She smiled and he took a hesitant step inside. Chichi closed the door and then took a moment to observe him better. He was certainly her type. Bulma had detailed it well in her request and the agency had hit the nail on the head.
The man looked to be about her age, which was a surprise, since she imagined that it was younger guys who worked in that kind of business, but she thought it would be much better to have one of her own age, she would be much more comfortable that way. He was dressed casually, wearing sneakers with dark jeans and a black shirt that showed off the muscles in his arms, and it was following the lines of the veins on his muscular arms that she noticed he was holding a pack of beer bottles.
"Oh, you brought beer! I wasn't expecting that."
He looked at his own hand and then at her blinking a few times. Chichi noticed that his dark eyes landed quickly on the neckline of her robe and he babbled: "It's just that I... I..."
Chichi very promptly took the pack from his hands and took it to the kitchen saying: "I'll put it on ice. In the meantime, do you want something to drink? Some water? Some wine?"
"I... um... no thanks! But I was..."
"If you don't mind, I'll get some for myself." she said and he nodded. "Sorry, I'm just a little nervous, so..."
He tilted his head to the side, looking confused and this made Chichi a little more nervous. What was she saying?
"How can I call you?"
"Ah, Goku!" he replied. "And you?"
"My name's Chichi."
"Chichi..." he repeated slowly. "Pretty name."
"Thank you."
Chichi felt that he was avoiding looking at her, or more precisely at her breasts. She found it, in a way, quite cute, but it was not the attitude she expected from a male escort. Maybe he was playing some character? She didn't know exactly what Bulma had put in her request.
"Nice Apartment. Is it yours?" he asked.
"No, no, it's rented," she replied and took a long sip of wine.
"Ah... So... I..."
"You know Goku," she interrupted him "this is the... first time I've done this, I mean, it's not my first time" she chuckled "but it's the first time I've done this" she made a movement with her hands indicating everything "so I'm a little nervous... but you can start."
"Staaart...?" he questioned.
And maybe the wine was starting to have a certain effect because Chichi was getting hot and suddenly bold.
She opened her robe a little as she approached him, revealing more of her sensual body.
"Yeah, I think..." she whispered as she put her hands on his chest "We could start with a kiss..."
Goku stared at her with his mouth open. "A kiss? Do-do you want me to kiss you?"
"I'd like that!" she answered with a whisper. "If it's not a problem for you…"
"Not at all..." he nodded and then moved closer to her.
Chichi felt Goku's soft lips touch hers in a soft kiss that sent a delicious shiver down her spine. "You can touch me, too." Chichi said as she realized that he was still standing a little far away. He was a well-mannered escort, she could tell, but he seemed a bit inexperienced.
"Okay..." he murmured and then placed those big hands on her thin waist.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him again, opening the way for him to explore her mouth with his tongue, which Goku promptly did. The kiss that started out soft became hungrier and more voracious. His hesitant hand became bolder and began to squeeze her as it navigated the curves of her body. He pressed her against his body and Chichi let out a loud sigh as she felt his erection against her belly.
They disconnected from the kiss for a brief moment and Chichi looked at him with lust in those black eyes that burned with desire but had a spark of doubt. She then assured him: "Go on."
"Are you sure? Do you really wanna do this?"
"Yes, I do." she sounded convinced, and apparently that was enough for him, who migrated from her lips to her neck in one swift movement.
Goku held her over his head with one hand as he tangled his fingers in the strands of her hair and his other hand held her firmly by the thigh. He moved her backward, pressing her against the first wall he found in his way and fitting her leg around his waist.
Chichi let out low moans as Goku kissed and nibbled her deliciously, throwing her initial worries out the window. The man was skilled – at least at the kissing part.
Goku's hand groped her ass as he pressed her harder and harder on his erection and Chichi gripped him tightly by the hair and the shirt that was already beginning to be an obstacle in her way.
Aware of that, he took a short distance, just long enough to rip off his shirt and for Chichi to remove her robe for good. The woman licked her lips when she saw his well-built chest in front of her and ran the tips of her fingers along the grooves of his defined abs. He was hot, very hot.
Goku bit his lower lip and pulled her back in for another kissing session, This time his deft hand opened her bra and played with her nipples on his fingertips. However, it didn't take long for his fingers to be replaced by his mouth, which lingered in that area for a while.
Chichi sighed loudly when he kissed her on the mouth again but migrated his hand down to between her legs. He touched her over her panties and, noticing that she was very wet, he pulled away an inch to stare into her lust-filled eyes. He bit his lower lip as his hand moved to the inside of her panties and Chichi gave a soft moan as she felt his thick fingers get soaked with her honey.
Goku closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Wow... I so wanna put my finger in there... can I?"
Chichi felt her insides contract at the raunchy and direct request, even more so being touched in such a sensual way as he was doing.
"Ahem!" she shook her head and felt him penetrate one finger.
Goku grunted and bit his lip. Chichi clutched at his hair as a second finger entered and hadn't even noticed when she began to ride on his hand, moving back and forth, pressing inside, clamoring for more.
Goku's right hand was soaked with her juices and his mouth was still busy kissing her when Chichi could not resist and let out a loud groan as her legs trembled.
Okay, at least she had an orgasm that night. It was already a profit compared to the last disastrous date. For the time being this idea of hiring an escort was proving quite positive.
With a sly smile on his face – very different from the gentle and innocent one Chichi had seen the first time – Goku took his fingers from her and brought them to his mouth, saying: "You taste so good. Can I have some more?"
Chichi would have felt her cheeks turn red if they weren't already from the recent orgasm and the wine she had previously had, so she nodded.
"But can we continue in the room?"
"Show me the way!" he asked
Chichi took him by the hand and led him into the next room, where Goku quickly pulled her in for another kiss as he laid her gently and carefully on the bed. His eyes never left her eyes as he began to lower his kisses, trailing toward her intimacy, causing electrifying shivers to run all over her body.
After pulling off her panties, Goku spread her legs apart and with a murmur of satisfaction, ran his tongue along her slit. Chichi moaned with pleasure. She grabbed his hair as he continued to devour her intimacy, sucking deliciously on her clit, making her squirm.
He had earned another point when he had made her reach her second orgasm that night. Apparently, his skills weren't only with his finger but also with his tongue.
With accelerated breathing, she looked at him as he wiped her traces with the back of his hand and smiled. Oh God, he had a devastatingly beautiful smile
"Can I fuck you now?" he asked in a low tone as he lay on top of her, and Chichi felt her intimacy pulsate with that predatory way of his.
She shook her head affirmatively and Goku smiled. He stepped back a little and began to remove his pants and underwear, revealing a lord of a member. Chichi bit her lip as she stared at Goku's large, thick cock, which was drooling and twitching excitedly.
"Do you have a condom?" he asked, and then she moved her eyes from his head down to his head up, staring at him in confusion.
He didn't have a condom? What kind of male escort was he that didn't carry condoms with him?
"Didn't you bring a condom?"
"Sorry..." he laughed and scratched the back of his head. Chichi noticed his blush and even looked like the same angelic-faced man who had entered her house half an hour ago. "I didn't expect... This is the first time this has happened to me..."
Chichi shook her head, and thank God she was a prepared woman, for she imagined that in some scenario this might happen, and thankfully she brought some with her. She reached for one that she had kept in her bedside table drawer and tossed it to him saying: "Here!"
"Whoa, thanks!" Goku smiled and didn't take long to get ready.
Chichi just thought that he should alert Bulma to make a notification to the agency, but soon thought that this might harm Goku. Then she considered that everything would depend on his performance in sex. If he was good enough to make her remember only the good part, she would take it easy, otherwise she would need to notify the agency. From what he had said, this had never happened to him before, and he was already late...
Her thoughts were soon interrupted the moment she felt herself being filled by him. At that moment, all she could think about was how good he felt.
He gave a low moan and began to move slowly, eliciting sly moans from Chichi, who clawed her nails into his back. Goku kissed her, on her face, on her mouth, on her chin, on her neck, they were tender, gentle kisses. But while she was treated tenderly on top, she was getting destroyed down there with his deep and precise thrusts. Each time he thrusted inside her, Chichi rolled her eyes to the back of her head and let out a loud moan.
The harder he pushed, the more Chichi moaned and the more Goku grunted. He then increased the speed by getting on his knees on the bed between her two legs, her hips slightly raised and supported by those big strong hands.
Chichi was no longer able to control her voice, because what that man was doing to her was phenomenal. She moaned loudly and obscenely and Goku thrust harder, with more pressure, with more force and more will. Her pussy contracted wildly as she felt that overwhelming sensation take over her body and make her curl her toes. Goku, for his part, let out a guttural groan as he reached the apex of the moment.
Gasping for breath, Chichi stared at the handsome man with the sweaty, muscular body in front of her. Surely she would only praise Goku, no complaints would be made, for he alone had done to her what none of her previous dates had done, and three times over.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and bent down to kiss her on the lips again, that silly, amused smile on his face again.
"That was good!" he murmured.
"It really was."
"I'll take that glass of water now..."
Chichi smiled. She also needed a nice cold glass of water. Then she stood up, receiving a naughty slap on the buttocks from him, which elicited an amused giggle from her.
#####
When Chichi opened her eyes in the morning, she felt Goku's arm still wrapped around her waist while he was still snoring. She thought he was adorable, and the gesture of sleeping with her in his arms was something she wasn't expecting, but in the end she liked it.
It was a good thing that the option she had hired contemplated the whole night, because otherwise the bill would have been exorbitant. After that glass of water that Goku had ordered, he had followed her to the kitchen and there they had sex once more – the naughty man had already gone prepared with a condom in his hand that he had picked up from her bedside table. – Then they went to take a shower together – which resulted in some more sex – and finally, exhausted, they collapsed on the bed. Goku asked if she minded him sleeping there and she saw no problem, so she nodded.
That night was the best she had had in years. It had been a long time since she had felt so satisfied, so fulfilled after having sex with someone. Goku was without a doubt a man of many skills. But that was all. One night of sex with no strings attached. Enough to make her not want to go out with anyone else for the next few months. Besides, it would be hard to find another person on that level, but it was worth the experience.
Chichi then carefully got up and went to the bathroom to do her morning hygiene. She took her cell phone with her, eager to share with Bulma that the evening was a success and that she could rate him five stars.
Soon Bulma answered her cell phone in a sleepy voice.
"Hello!"
"Bulma, you were right!" she said with a wide smile. "It was amazing!"
"What the hell are you talking about, Chichi?"
"This guy you hired through the agency, really... he... gee, I don't even know how to say it. He was the best sex of my life!"
"What?"
Before she could answer Bulma, she heard Goku calling her from outside: "Hey Chichi, I've to go now, I have a work appointment."
Chichi arched her eyebrow. A work appointment? At that time in the morning? Did they have clients who asked for services like that at that hour?
"All right Goku, you're free to go!" she answered loudly.
"Who are you talking to?" Bulma inquired, but before Chichi could answer, she heard him again:
"Will we... see each other again? Can I... get your phone number?"
She froze. That... that was unusual, or wasn't it? Either way, she didn't think it was a good idea. She had no intention of being with him again, as she had no intention of hiring any more escort services. This was a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and that was that.
"I don't think so, Goku." she said cautiously, not wanting to sound ungrateful either, even though she was paying for his services.
"Oh... Okay."
Was it her impression, or did she sense some disappointment in his voice? She shook her head. No. It was probably just a false impression anyway.
"I left some extra money on the nightstand. Shut the door before you leave, please!"
"Yeah... right?!" he answered.
"Chichi are you with someone there?"
"Yeah, hey, the male escort you hired for me!" she answered with obviousness in her voice.
"Chichi! What are you talking about? Your escort didn't go!"
She widened her eyes and felt her whole body freeze. "W-What do you mean Bulma? Yes, he came! He-he-he-he's here, outside the bathroom!"
"Darling, I don't know who's standing there outside the bathroom of where you are, but the guy I hired for you last night didn't go. He came to my house. The agency messed up the addresses and sent him to my house. I didn't send you there because... well... because he was sooo hot, totally my type, had that bad-boy look, you know? Oh, I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist...".
For some reason, Chichi believed she didn't feel sorry at al. Bulma continued: "Anyway I made contact with the agency and they said that there was no one else available last night and so no one else can go in his place, but they didn't charge anything because of the mistake and that we can reschedule for another date. You didn't see the message I sent you last night, did you?"
"No! I turned off my cell phone last night! I didn't see anything!"
Chichi then stared at the wooden bathroom door. If that wasn't the escort Bulma had hired for her. Then who was he?
#####
"I've apologized to you, like, a hundred times!" Bulma grumbled. "Besides, I don't know why you're complaining. After all, you had sex, good sex, from what you said, the best sex of your life! So, why are you complaining again?"
Chichi growled and controlled herself not to slam the coffee cup down hard on the table.
"Bulma! I let a complete stranger into that apartment because I thought he was the escort you hired. He could be a psychopathic killer, have you thought about that?!"
She was furious, furious with her friend. She'd never ask for her help with anything again!
"But he wasn't! That's it! And how was I to know that you would open the door for a stranger?"
"You should've fucking warned me!"
"But I have!" argued her friend. "It's not my fault if you didn't see the message."
"Argh!" Chichi was about to tear her hair out. This could only be a nightmare.
"Chichi, in the end you had sex with a super hot guy, from what you told me, someone who made you cum and in the end you didn't even have to pay for it. Seriously, I don't know what you're complaining about."
Chichi rubbed her face in frustration. Good thing she had made an appointment somewhere else and not at her house, because if that man was passing by, he was probably a neighbor. And what kind of guy was he that would walk into the apartment of unknown women and randomly have sex like that?
How absurd.
"I should've known... I should've known... I don't know how I missed it. Argh! He didn't have a condom?!"
"This is a strong sign. No person who works in this kind of business would go to a client without a condom, right?"
"I thought... I..." Chichi couldn't argue. She even considered it at the time, but her desire for him was much greater than her sanity. "I thought that he... I dunno... he said it had never happened before, and on top of that he was late. Maybe something had happened..."
Bulma sighed and raised her cappuccino cup to her lips before punctuating: "If you hadn't left the key to the apartment outside, none of this would've happened. Which, by the way, shows that he's not a psycho. If he was, he would have kept the key for himself, to get in there later and murder you! Or whoever was there!"
Chichi glanced at her.
"Arg! This was a very bad idea. The worst idea ever!"
#####
Chichi avoided thinking about it for the next few days, the problem was that the damn thing wouldn't leave her mind. The mere thought that Goku wasn't a real male escort had pleased her more than she would've liked. After all, if he wasn't a male escort, that meant that...
No!
She mentally scolded herself.
That didn't mean anything except that he was a crazy pervert who went into apartments of unknown women and fucked them randomly.
A crazy guy who was also very, very hot, and that... because he wasn't a male escort, she might even see him again... no?
NO!
She could never see him again. Never again! She'd die of shame if that happened. She'd die of shame before, just knowing that he was a male escort and that she knew she had hired him, but after learning that he was supposed to be an ordinary man, she'd be even more ashamed. How could she explain her behavior? Calling a random guy to come into the apartment. Saying he could kiss her, run his hand over her, have sex with her, just like that?
It horrified her. She'd never know where to hide her face.
And after she had told him about the 'extra money' she had left on the bedside table – which he had not even taken – what would he think of her?
Good thing that West City was a big, very big city. The chances of meeting him again someday were slim to none. Almost zero.
This is what she clung to as she tried to forget what had happened and furiously typed the reply to an e-mail on her computer.
"Hey, take it easy or you'll break the keyboard!" said Lazuli, her co-worker.
Chichi just gave her a glance and snorted. Annoyed, she picked up her water bottle to take a sip.
"What a mood! Come here, have you met the new Sales Consultant who started today? He came from that Sayans Corp. They say he's gorgeous." Lazuli waggled her eyebrows. "Suno who recruited him said he's super hot. His name's Goku!"
"What?" Chichi spat out the water in her mouth. That... no... couldn't be the same... could it?"
"Dear God, Chichi!? Are you all right?" Lazuli sounded worried and also a bit disgusted.
"You said that... his name is... Goku?"
"Yes, Son Goku!"
"Oh, shit!" Chichi whispered. It couldn't be the same person. No way!
"Why? Do you know him?"
Chichi ignored the question and opened LinkedIn to search for that name. Before she could finish her search, however, she heard a knock on the door followed by a cheerful voice that she recognized as that of her other co-worker.
"Hi girls!" said a woman with long red hair.
"Hey, Suno!" replied Lazuli. "Have you come to introduce us to the new Consultant?"
Chichi, who had her back to her, remained paralyzed.
"That's right, this is Son Goku!"
Chichi turned around slowly, not paying much attention to what the red-haired woman was saying, and felt her spirit leave her body as her eyes met Goku's dark ones.
"And this is-"
"Chichi!" Goku completed Suno's sentence and smiled openly. "We already know each other."
"Oh really?" Suno looked from one to the other, surprised. "How interesting. Where do you know each other from?"
"Umm..." Chichi couldn't find a voice to answer that question.
"She... um... contacted me already, in the past, for another position. It didn't work out that time."
Chichi felt the spirit return to her body. For a moment she thought he was going to tell her that she had invited him into her apartment without even knowing him and offered him money after they had sex and slept together. Fortunately, he was smarter than that.
"Oh well, this business world's really small, isn't it?" Suno giggled, apparently satisfied with the answer. She then took him by the arm and dragged him toward the door. "Come on, come on, I'll take you to the other sectors!"
"Sure, sure. Bye, Chichi, see you around!"
Chichi decided to turn her face to the computer screen and pretend that she hadn't heard him, although she could still hear Suno chattering about taking him to lunch at a nearby restaurant. Maybe she should warn her co-worker, who seemed interested in the man, that he was just a pervert, but that would involve telling her what had happened between them, and they weren't close enough for Chichi to open up her humiliation to Suno.
That could only be a nightmare!
"Hmmm so you already know each other from another recruitment?" Lazuli sneered and received a glare from Chichi, which only made her laugh. "I want to know more about this story lateeeer!"

Chichi avoided Goku just as vampires avoid holy water and garlic. She ran away from him the way the devil ran away from the cross. Whenever she saw that he was in a place, she avoided entering. If she did enter, it was something quick and punctual, she didn't say a word to him and prayed that he wouldn't say a word to her either. In the corridors, she put her head down and tried not to be noticed.
It was getting exhausting; after all, due to her position, contact with the commercial area was inevitable.
It was Friday and already past six in the afternoon when Chichi went to the coffee room to get a cup of coffee. The office was already empty, but she still had to finalize some things and a cup of coffee was all she needed at that moment.
Just seconds before entering the room, however, Chichi could hear someone speaking softly: "I was wondering... if you are available to have lunch with me sometime? Hm... available? Oh.. no, terrible... Maybe... hmmm... do you have some time to have lunch with me? Arg... damn it! I'm such a loser!"
"Goku?" Chichi's eyes widened when she realized it was him mumbling. Was it her impression or did he seem to be rehearsing a line? She should've turned her back and run away, but for some reason, she didn't.
"Oh, hello Chichi!" he scratched the back of his neck and cracked that stupidly beautiful smile that made her want to punch him in the nose.
"What are you still doing here? Everyone has already left!"
"You didn't!"
"I had things to do!"
"Yeah, me too!"
"In your first week?" she asked, and he shrugged.
"I was… um… I wanna talk to you. I haven't had a chance this week." he smiled and again scratched the back of his neck. "You're so busy!"
Her blood froze. "What do you want to talk about?"
"Well, for starters, I... want to clarify that... that I don't have sex for money," he spoke with great caution in his voice and a note of amusement, but this did no good, as Chichi felt her cheeks heat up violently.
"I'm aware." she sounded irritated. She didn't like being mocked and she wouldn't let him make fun of her, he was the pervert. "What else do you want to talk about? Are you also going to tell me why you went into that apartment playing dumb and accepting an indecent proposal like that? What were you thinking? Huh? That was a fulfillment of your fantasies? That you were in a porno movie?"
Chichi trembled with anger. All she didn't want was to lose her composure, but it was inevitable. She knew she would burst the moment they started talking. Luckily the building was completely empty.
Goku gave a slight laugh.
"Well, you have to admit that it's not every day that a man knocks on the door of a very beautiful woman and is given the opportunity to have sex... How could I deny it?"
"Arg!" Chichi scolded. "You're such a jerk!"
She turned her back and stomped off.
"Hey, wait. Oh, shit!" Goku reached over and grabbed her by the arm, making her turn toward him. "I'm kidding. I mean, not totally... I mean... Argh! I'm sorry!" he scratched his head again, and Chichi finally realized that this was a nervous gesture on his part. "It was nothing like that. I know what you must be thinking. But... let me explain!"
Chichi looked at him seriously and crossed her arms.
"I ... um... I was going to my friend Krillins's house to watch the Champions League game, he lives in that same building, and as I was passing in the hallway when I saw your key hanging in the lock and decided to let you know," he said almost without taking a breath. "If no one was home, I'd had taken it to Krillin, and he'd give it back to his neighbor later, but when you opened the door... I... lost my words. I almost forgot to mention the key."
She arched an eyebrow and gestured as she answered: "You didn't have to come in! You could've said that... you had your appointment."
He breathed in again.
"I know, I know... but you invited me and... gee, you're really, really beautiful. And... A beautiful woman like that, calling me to come into her apartment... I just went!" Goku scratched his head one more time. "And don't think that I took advantage of the situation, because I had no idea what was going on. I had no idea what I was doing there! I was completely lost. But I ... um ... I got all idiot around you, really! It seemed as if I couldn't talk anymore, that I had suddenly become dumb. It still sounds like one..." he gave a self-deprecating laugh.
Chichi said nothing and he continued after swallowing hard:
"I... look I was really confused, but you kissed me and... and... damn, I really liked your kiss... you said you wanted to go on, you were right about that, I didn't even think about it. I just... jumped in. I've never... done anything like that before in my life. I swear!" he gave her a sincere look. "I didn't realize what was happening until in the morning, when you mentioned the... money."
"Arg! I'm such an idiot!"
"No, you're not!" he put his hands on her arms and Chichi turned her face away. "I don't know what made you think that, but I knew I needed to clarify the situation. I tried to talk to you that very morning, but you totally blew me off and I was really late for, guess what? The job interview for this job opening here! I had to run out. But I came back later!"
Chichi then raised her eyes at him. "You did?"
"Yes, I did, but there was nobody there. The next day I came back again, and the next day, and the next, and the next. I came back every day hoping to find you again, but you were no longer there. On the last day, I met a lady who told me that the apartment belonged to her son, but that he was traveling and rented it out to tourists and other people. I asked her to give me your contact information, but... you know, client confidentiality and all. And I only knew your first name. I couldn't find you anywhere."
"Are you serious?"
"Of course I am. Why wouldn't I? I asked for your phone number, dammit!" he smiled. "I had the best night of my life, with the most beautiful woman I have ever met. Do you really think I wouldn't want to see her again? Only if I was crazy! You have no idea how happy I was when I saw you working here! I just didn't... seem to have a chance to talk to you, to ask you for a lunch or something... and... didn't even have the courage..."
Chichi bit her lower lip. Should she take him at his word? Had she been his best night? The most beautiful woman he had ever met?
"I really like you! I just want... to get to know you better, Chichi." he gave an honest smile. "Could you give me that chance?"
"Well, I... I liked you too..."
Goku cracked a wide smile that could light up the entire building.
"So... um... what do you say? Can I take you to dinner tonight?"
"Okay." Chichi answered with a little smile.
Maybe... maybe that crazy idea hadn't been so bad after all…
