Golden Star Dreams

Chapter 7: Date Me

Today Mr. Kenji had informed me that Kendra wanted to speak with us (or rather Mr. Kenji) on the day's game plan. This would be the perfect time to voice my disapproval of Mr. Kenji's changing my housing. I glared at him wishing that daggers would somehow fly through the room and stab him where he sat. Unfortunately that wish never came true and I scoffed, looking away from him.

"I hate you so much right now…" I said.

"That'll change."

Such a cocky bastard wasn't he? Frustrated, I let out my anger with a sigh only to be answered with an arm around my waist pulling me in his lap. Suddenly, my eyes went wide when his hand found its way between my thighs creeping closer to my crotch. With a squeak, I slapped him and he merely smirked at me with proud eyes.

"I love it when you blush, but I must warn you, I don't like to be slapped…"

Instantly I hid my face from him covering my heated and red cheeks from view. How dare he embarrass me in such a way? Then the sound of the glass sliding door caught my attention and the brown-haired woman, Kendra, stepped inside. Like always, her green eyes were full of business mischief as she stared me down with observing eyes. A smile crossed her lips and in moments I could see her teeth as she tried to keep in a snicker.

"Oh you two don't mind me; I'm just here to do business while you both fuck around with each other… literally…"

As I went to express my protest, Mr. Kenji kissed the back of my neck and when I went to slap him once more, his hand caught my wrist but he wasn't looking at me. His golden eyes stared right at Kendra.

"So then you don't mind if I could have a few more moments with Miss Soshi?" There it was again! He used my name!

"Of course I don't, just be mindful that you're giving security a much loved show…" Kendra said as she pointed to the camera above her door.

Mr. Kenji merely grinned and released my hand before letting me leave his lap. "Fair enough." He said with slight hint of annoyance though his smile was still present.

Ignoring the wink he sent me, I pointed at Kendra then to Mr. Kenji in sheer rage. I wanted my old apartment back and I would be damned if I wasn't going to get my way.

"Kendra, why did you let this man force me to live with him? This was not part of my contract I'm sure!"

"Ah, ah, ah… Remember the contract?"

'To work for Mr. Kenji, we need your full cooperation… If you find yourself quitting before your contract is up, you get no further payment and you must reimburse some of the money that you were paid. Meaning, the grand total for your services will not be granted and you are to pay back Mr. Kenji half the total of money he had paid you prior to your resignation. Plain and simple.'

"Dammit… I really do need the money…"

Mr. Kenji was heard chuckling behind me and I turned to see his troublemaking eyes staring at me once more. "And don't forget, you have no home of your own anymore. You live with me and if you want to change that fact, you're going to need cash… lots of it. I'm sure your night job won't be able to cover half of what it costs to get an apartment in this realty market…"

Just when I thought my luck couldn't get any worse… it did. I found myself regretting my taking this job…

Kendra sat down in her black, overly cushioned, desk chair and folded her hands over as they rested on the table in front of her. She looked to her papers then us before smiling widely. She was up to something and before I knew it I was handed a copy of a pop culture magazine. The front cover was unsurprisingly nothing but pictures of Mr. Kenji with captions stating "The Sexiest Man Alive" or other little blurbs about the actor.

"Look at the picture of the overly-tan teens next to the picture of the overly-done up super bitches." Kendra said.

I squinted my eyes to locate the images, and just as she said, the teens and the supposed 'super-bitches' were right next to one another. The caption below it read: New episodes of Miami Shore and Housewives of America Coming Soon!

I rolled my eyes before tossing the magazine on the desk.

"What's your point on showing me this?" I asked.

Kendra swiveled around in her chair so her back would face us and she stretched her arms out victoriously.

"Isn't it obvious? Since you're living with Sesshoumaru Kenji, I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to make more cash through this new trend of reality television! And what's better and more scandalous than a boss sleeping with his assistant?"

"I'm not sleeping with him!" I shouted.

"Ah… but that's the beauty of it… what do people love to watch on TV?" Kendra asked me as she swiveled back around in her chair. Her eyes were beaming with joy and anticipation; either waiting for me or her to answer the question. She suddenly waved both her hands at me saying, "Bah!" and stood up to continue.

"People love a good romance story, and you two will most definitely pull in some ratings! Just think about it, playboy Sesshoumaru Kenji actually finds love in his assistant who-"

"Who wants nothing to do with him!" Once again, I interrupted, but that only seemed to fuel Kendra's fire of excitement as she spun around on the floor happily and clapping non-stop.

"Exactly Ariko! Now you're getting it! The plot is all about him trying to gain your affections. Will he be able to do it? Oh, I'm so giddy! This will absolutely be a hit, I'm such a genius!" Kendra then picked up the phone and started dialing a few numbers. Looking at us, she shooed us from her office still squealing from joy. "I'm going to make a few calls for the camera crew so why don't you two go to the beach or something to celebrate?" She called out.

While my face was anything but amused, Mr. Kenji merely closed his eyes and crossed his arms as if he was deliberating the subject. He didn't seem opposed to the idea, though he didn't look to be particularly on board either. Sighing, he left his chair and with me following behind, we left Kendra's office, but not before she passed Mr. Kenji a bag, and out the door of the agency where the limo was waiting for us.

"The beach please. My private lot." He stated quietly to the chauffeur and then we pulled off toward our destination.

His solemn face gave indication that something was wrong and I could tell that he was not happy with what Kendra was doing in regards to shoving cameras in his private life. Which was understandable; he's already famous (superbly famous) and various hoards of cameramen in the form of nosy paparazzi stalk him constantly. Not to mention that it's hard enough trying to spend time with Rin in private, now Kendra was going to make his entire life public to the voyeur eyes of our audience. Without thinking, I leaned over to put a hand on his knee and patted him for comfort.

"It'll be alright… I know you're upset… You'll have some private time to yourself. I promise." I said.

"I'm not worried about my private time." He said quietly. He looked up at me with mischief glazed eyes and his usual smirk appeared on his face as his eyebrow lifted above the other. I followed his eyes to where I was leaning over and realized that he had a clear view of my chest. Blushing, I quickly sat up straight and went to fix my shirt but my hands were stopped by his bigger, stronger palms forcing my hands away from chest.

"I'm worried about our private time… Miss Soshi." He then looked up to the limo driver who nodded and closed the window separating his side from ours.

"Just keep driving till ya done Mista Kenji?" The driver asked.

"Wait, you're just going to be ok with this!" I shouted as Mr. Kenji began kissing on the base of my neck softly.

"No, just go the long way to the beach Mike." My boss said as the chauffeur and actor completely ignored me.

I was answered with silence and instantly I was dragged to the floor of the limo with him pinned atop my small frame. Damn this long ass car! I looked up into his eyes and watched as his face crept closer to mine. He pressed his forehead against mine as his right hand slithered up my skirt, grabbing his prize with enthusiasm and causing me to let out a raspy scream of surprise.

"Well that's nice and plump…" He whispered with an almost evil grin. This guy had definitely lost it. He lifted off of me just enough to the point where he straddled my hips and he reached over to grab the bag Kendra had given him and pulled out a swimsuit. A rather… skimpy swimsuit…

I honestly think Kendra is trying to put me in hell for her own amusement.

The actor tugged at my clothes as he smirked. "I can't wait to see you wearing almost nothing once again. The beach was a great idea…" He said I found my shirt sliding off of me.

This was going to be one long limo ride…

~~~(D^^)D Kirby dances to the next scene! C(^^C)

The limo pulled next to the gated entrance of the beach and when the driver opened the door, his face went from a calm peach, to a tomato red. The sight before him was rather… awkward…; there I was, panting on the floor of the vehicle with my hair in a ruffled mess, half naked and an overly satisfied Sesshoumaru Kenji smoking a cigarette as if he had just finished having… well… sex! Somehow in our scuffle, I had managed to fight for my right to change in peace. No way was I going to let him see me completely naked if I had any say about. He certainly wasn't going to friggin' change me either!

Stumbling out of the limo, I fixed my hair and began stomping away from my pig headed boss with him walking slowly behind me. I could feel his gaze burning my back to the point where I just wanted to melt and leak away into the ocean. Only to be away from him… A hand met my shoulder and I found myself being pulled in a different direction from my original destination. When I tried to struggle out of his grip, he picked me up as if carrying a bride and pecked my forehead gently as he continued to trek through the sand.

"Please stop trying to escape my grasp Miss Soshi. I just want to show you something."

Although reluctant, I complied with is request and let him take me to a nice spot done up with a large beach blanket and a picnic basket. I also took notice of the wine he had from a few nights ago. Two skinny glasses poked out from the basket along with two menus and a butler was waiting front and center. Mr. Kenji set me on the blanket and he took his place next to me, letting the butler pour the wine in our glasses and asking us what we wanted from the restaurant just up ahead. Mr. Kenji only asked for a few moments to think things over (though I had already figured out my meal… I opened the menu as soon as I could). He smoothly reached over and took the menu from my hands and he placed a kiss on my shoulder. I went to push him away from me, but his quick hand caught my own and he pulled me close. Looking into his eyes, I was shocked to see that there were neither traces of perverted intent nor any sign of lustful emotions taking over his golden orbs. There was something there that I couldn't quite pinpoint… as if he wanted me to stay with him… in his arms. It was nice…

"Soshi…" He started, "I know my behavior has been what you could call, deplorable…"

"More like lecherous?"

"Y-Yes…"

"Perverted?"

"Hn…"

"Dirty and degrading!"

"You aren't making this easy for me Miss Ariko…"

I scrunched my brows and squinted with suspicion, "Making what easy?"

"My apology. I just wanted to say I'm sorry for my recent behavior. I understand that I'll have quite a while till I regain your trust once again, but I would like to start off this 'Forgive Me' process by asking you to let me take you out on a few dates here and there."

"Wha…?"

"To be quite honest, you're the first woman I've been so intrigued with to the point where I just… had to make you mine… Please accept my offer. It will only come once."

Aside from his last statement, I thought his attempt of trying to redeem himself was well…

Sweet.

But that still didn't mean I was completely ready to forgive him I mean after all; he sold my apartment without my consent. His nuzzling brought me back to reality and his eyes looked to me begging for my answer. I was pretty sure he only wanted to get in my pants this way, but what harm could a few dates be? It's not like he's requiring me to sleep with him. Shrugging I nodded my head but I was fast to set my condition on this little arrangement.

"But only if you agree not to touch me!"

"Fine… I will not touch one area on your stunning body…" He said leaning in closer to me.

"I-I said no touching! Kissing is included!"

"Oh I'm aware of this… I just like to tease…"

I blushed like a big, red tomato and somehow I knew that he wouldn't be able to withstand my condition...
