She felt a bit shocked at the way the guy just acted, but a part of her, the part that was curious about everything, wanted to get to know this guy better, and she could only hope that he would come back.
The rest of the time at the festival was pretty boring, but that’s because as she drew, she was thinking about Kelvin.
He seemed to love to mess with girls, but she wondered if the feelings he spouted to her were true. She assumed so, but she wasn’t sure. The only thing that she could do was to just wait and see.
The next time she saw him was at the aquarium. How the hell he found her, she didn’t know, but she was working on a gig there. She had a deal with them due to circumstances, and she was able to get what she needed from this place and the business that she enjoyed.
Everything seemed fine, which is until Kelvin showed up. When he did, she immediately stopped, looking at him with a shocked glance.
“What the hell are you doing?” she asked. She wondered if this was how the man thought was the best way to get to her heart or some shit. He looked funny as hell, but she was mentally trying to process it.
He was in a marine dolphin trainer’s suit, but it was cropped up to reveal toned abs. He wore a snorkel and some fins, and he was beaming at her.
Most people couldn’t tell, they just thought that he was one of the cast members. If only they knew that, the infamous Kelvin was here. They would probably all lose their shit otherwise.
“Well if it isn’t Kelvin,” she joked.
“Hey there sweetie. Miss me?” he joked.
“Of course,” she replied in a sarcastic manner.
“Well I’m glad that you did. I didn’t know that you worked at the aquarium. This is pretty amazing,” he said.
“I only do some work here. I got a gig a while back and I’m just fulfilling the duty. I mean they asked me a while back because apparently it would help them out or something, so I took the offer, even though it’s not really my cup of tea.
The bigger question is what the hell are you doing here?” she managed to ask. It was strange, strange indeed, that he was acting like nothing was wrong. She was just in complete and utter shock at the situation.
“What, you never seen a guy dress like this before? You need to learn to live Ayaka,” he joked.
“Well it’s strange to see the guy that’s been following me and going to all my gigs dressed like a fool like that,” she mused.
“Oh you know some of the cuties here. And give you this,” he said.
She watched as he brought open another bag. She grabbed it, and soon she looked inside.
It was a beautiful pearl necklace laced with diamonds. This wasn’t the type of shit that you could find anywhere, but rather, this was probably the rarest thing she’s ever seen.
“Holy shit,” she said.
“You like it? I got it the other day when I was out in the islands, and I thought that you might like it,” he said.
“Wait, so you were out of the country right before you came here? You’re crazy,” Ayaka said.
“Nah, I’m just a billionaire having a bit of fun,” he replied.
True, he was definitely having the fun that he’s wanted. But she was shocked at the fact that he was so calm and collected about everything. Didn’t this guy ever worry about things?
“So what do you want now?” she asked.
“Just the usual. A picture, I give you some cash, and I’ll tease you with something,” he said.
She nodded, having him step into the chair. She didn’t know if this guy was even playing with her anymore. He was cute though, she had to admit, and she could see his red hair sticking out of there.
However, it was longer than she imagined, and the tendrils went down. He did look pretty attractive, that’s for sure. Maybe he was just hiding it from everyone because of the way everyone might react to it.
“Your hair looks nice,” she said.
“Thank you buttercup. I’m glad that you like it,” he said with a smile.
She was growing to really dislike that nickname. But she wanted to continue to be on his good side, so she ignored it and did her job. It was simple really, but she was definitely curious about what was going to happen next.
After she finished the sketch, he gave her the same tip, but this time, he smiled at her before leaving.
“I have a surprise for you next time. But I’m sure you’ll like it,” he said.
She blushed, knowing that this man was probably just playing with her. It might be another lavish gift. But she didn’t know for sure, for she wasn’t very keen on these sort of things.
Maybe it was something that she was needing, or something that he wanted to tell her. All she could do, was wait and see.
The third and final day came a month later, when she took a simple gig at the coffee shop nearby. He showed up, but he looked like one of those silly little beatnik poets that talked about how dark and depressing the world is.
She thought that it was weird, weird indeed, but she gave him the benefit of the doubt, and she knew that he wouldn’t mind it at all.
“Hey there,” she said.
“Hello to you too. I’m glad you’re having a good day,” he replied.
“I think I am. So what are you doing here?” she asked.
“Well I found out that they have this lovely coffee here, and the barista is really cute, so I decided to come check it out,” he replied.
Women, of course. She knew that he was more interested in other women than her, but she didn’t want to think about all of that. Rather, she was much more interested in the other implications of all of this.
She wanted to talk to him about normal stuff, and she felt like she connected more with him than anyone else.
“So, what you up to after this?” she asked.
“Oh just the usual. Probably head back, attempt to do some paperwork, and then go crash in the game room playing something,” he replied.
“Sounds nice,” she said.
“Yes it is. I can tell you right now that I’ll definitely be having a great night. However, what about you?” he asked.
“I’ll probably just go home and watch a movie. Nothing really amazing,” she replied.
“Oh fun. So, I guess you can draw me right now? I would love that if so,” he cooed.
This guy had something planned, but she had no idea what it was.
“Okay,” she simply stated.
The guy got into the seat, almost like an eager puppy. She started on it, but there was something different in his eyes. He had a small twinkle of excitement, and she wondered what was going on.
She was very confused about this, but she did think it was adorable as hell in a sense. But she didn’t want to make things awkward between them, so she kept her feelings to herself. After she finished it, he got up, smiling at her.
“Well that’s all I wanted, but I have a tip for you. And an extra present,” he said.
She looked at him, remembering the extra present that he was teasing about. She realized as well that he didn’t even give her another present like how he normally did. She wasn’t going to ask him about it, but she didn’t want to create any drama or feel bad because of it.
“Here it is,” he said. He gave her a letter. She opened it, reading it to herself. There was only one line on it, and it made her blush.
Will you go out with me?
It was so immature, but it made her smile. She knew that he was probably just bad at asking women out. He probably wasn’t the type who did that, but rather he would just go over and have flings with them.
“Of course. I would love to,” she said.
“Thank you. I was a bit scared to ask honestly. I mean, you seemed a bit distant whenever I was here, so I thought you might not be into me,” he admitted.
That was far from what was happening. She liked him a lot, but she was still a bit wary
“What about the girls?” she asked.
“They’re cool, but I like you a l
ot,” he said.
She blushed. “Well thank you,” she replied.
“How about Friday at seven? And you’re very welcome,” he asked.
That sounded perfect to her, but she was already feeling the nerves start to become even worse over time.
“Sure, that’s fine,” she replied.
He smiled, and she smile back. It was the start of a new and amazing relationship, one that was probably going to get better from here. They made a meet up place, which would be the cafe, and he was going to take her to this amazing place to eat, and this secret location that he knew.
She was already giddy with excitement, and she couldn’t wait for what was to come. Maybe things were getting better, and she was just getting a taste of what’s to come.
Chapter III
Already she was a pile of nerves, and it was definitely getting even more worrisome with wear. She then started to think about all of the great things that could happen. She honestly wondered how everything would go down, especially with the way Kelvin was.
Was he serious about this date? She thought so, but he was the type who seemed to flirt with everything that moved in a sense. It was strange, very strange indeed. But the feelings were there, so it wasn’t like she was going on a whim or anything.
That’s what made her wonder. What were his true feelings towards her? What did he think of her? It was all starting to become strange, very strange indeed, but she decided it would be best to just wait and see what was going to go down next.
She got a dress for the occasion, a cute lilac dress that clung to her curves in all the right places. She wanted to splurge a little, especially for a date like this.
She also took off work that night, and instead spent the day getting ready. They would meet at the café at seven, and he would take her from there. The nerves were starting to get the best of her though, and it was making her feel anxious.
She was worried about what he might think of her. But at the same time, she had to put more faith in the damn man. She knew that he wasn’t doing this in order to get attention or anything, but rather he was doing it because there were feelings there.
What they were, she didn’t really understand, but they existed. However, she did want to get to the bottom of the whole womanizing thing. She didn’t want to be with a playboy who only seemed to care about the superficial output of a woman rather than anything else.
When she got there, he was already waiting. He was dressed in a blue dress shirt and slacks, and he looked suave. There were no disguises this time, and his dark red hair was trailing down his back. He looked super attractive, and immediately Ayaka grew nervous.
“Hello there,” she said.
“Hello there sweetie. Glad you could make it,” he said.
“Same with you. It’s strange seeing you without a ridiculous disguise right now,” she said.
“Well I had on shades until just a few minutes ago. You know, to hide my face and all,” he said.
“I guess being a billionaire is some hard work,” she mused.
“It can be. But tell you what, let me take you out and show you a great night on the town,” he said.
She nodded, and soon they got into his car. A blue sports car that looked expensive as hell. It was so lavish, and she loved it.
“Oh, and I got you a present. I figured you were the type who might like this,” he said.
She looked at the box below. She grabbed it, pulling the contents out. It was a bouquet of roses, but they were dyed a strange color, almost in an ethereal way. And the other item was a locket, and it was something that she liked.
“Wow, this is amazing,” she said.
“Thank you. I wanted to get you some of those roses. They’re very rare, and I have a person who is able to get them for me with no issues, so I wanted to bring you some. I’m glad that you could enjoy this sort of thing,” he admitted.
“That I can,” she said.
The two of them made some small talk, but their first stop was a fancy restaurant. It was an Italian one, and it was sitting at the top of the highest building in the city. They went inside, riding the elevator up. Everyone was dressed so lavishly, and Kelvin was flirting with a few of the girls, but only in a customary manner.
“Do you ever flirt with girls in a serious manner? Or is it for fun?” she asked.
“Mainly for fun. But don’t worry, none of these girls really take it seriously. Most of them know me as a playboy, so it’s kind of the persona,” he said.
She nodded, still feeling a bit uncomfortable about that, but giving the man the benefit of the doubt.
“Okay,” she said.
‘why, do you not like it?” he asked.
“I mean it’s kind of a strange thing to do, but I can see why you might be doing that sort of thing,” she admitted. The truth was, Ayaka knew that he probably couldn’t really turn off that sort of façade that he puts up, and it made her wonder if there was anything about this man that he was hiding.
“Well I’m glad that you understand. Let’s have a romantic evening, shall we?” he asked.
She nodded, and the two of them made their way over to the booth that they were given. The food here was very expensive, and she probably would never eat here had it not been for him.
“Order whatever you want. I’ll get the wine though. I know the good shit,” he said.
She nodded. “Thank you,” she replied.
They ordered some wine, and after the server got it, they got their orders taken down. It was a simple order, but there was a lot to it. Once the server was gone, he leaned in and looked at Ayaka.
“So what made you want to be a street artist? That’s such a rare profession but it’s really intriguing,” he said.
“Well, one day I found out that it’s a lot of fun to do stuff like that. I actually started off as an artist at one of the local art schools, but they restrained you a lot and I felt like I never reached my full potential. Now, it’s a bit harder to make money at times, but it’s nice, that’s for sure,” she said.
“Well I’m glad you enjoy it. But I think you are really good. I was surprised by the talent. I wanted to come up to you at first, but I was honestly terrified,” he said.
“why is that?’ she asked.
“The truth is, I’m bad with women. I don’t really know how to deal with them besides the superficial crap. Sure I’ve had sex, and I’ve flirted with countless babes in the past, but an actual relationship is hard.
I have a wandering eye at times, and I’m worried about us. I don’t want you to think I’m some monster or something,” he replied.
“You’re fine. I mean, I get that in a sense. It’s kind of how you were brought up. But I’m not going to abandon you. I’m interested in your life as well. What exactly do you do, besides being a billionaire?” she asked.
“I actually work as the head of the banking institution down the street. It’s a pretty simple job since I just have to make sure that my subordinates do their job. I also am an investor, and that’s where I make a majority of my money,” he said.
‘wow, that’s interesting,” she mused.
“It’s really boring honestly, but I can see why it might spark your interest. But trust me, it’s not as glamorous as you might think. Frankly it’s boring, and I would rather eat dirt than do that,” he said.
“Well you should work on a hobby, maybe something that makes you happy,” she replied.
“I might do that,” he replied.
The two of them talked about interests, and she was amazed at show similar the two of them were. It was strange indeed, but it kind of made her happy that it was going this way. She wondered as well that he was thinking about, but of course she decided to let him explain everything to her.
The rest of dinner was nice, and she felt a connection. After that, they walked out, but instead of going to the elevator, he turned to her. Come with me,” he said.
“But that place isn’t for the public,” she replie
d.
“Not if you’re a normal person. I’m a rich dude, so they let us do whatever we want for the most part,” he smiled.
She nodded, walking with him over to the mysterious location. She followed him, and when they got out there, he tuned to her.
“Look up my dear,” he said.
She did so, and suddenly the whole place was filled with stars. It was a small garden, but it was unlike anything that she had ever seen before.
“Holy shit. This is beautiful,” she admitted.
“Thank you. But you’re the beautiful one here. This is just one of the secret spots that I know about, and I will take you to another one next time,” he said.
She smiled. So he did want a second date. This night was getting better and better.
“Yes. I will gladly go out with you again,” she replied.
The two of them leaned in, inching closer to one another. They felt a bit strange about going this far already, but she knew that she wanted to feel Kelvin’s lips against her own. It was something that she wanted now more than ever before, and soon she felt her desires start to take over her, and she felt he entire body start to melt against this own.
He kissed her, and she kissed him, and for a moment, everything stopped. The two of them knew that this was right, but they didn’t want to take anything too far as of yet. However, they moaned into the kiss, and Ayaka loved the taste of him.
He was sweet, but also a very decadent taste. She knew that this was a real kiss as well, and it wasn’t just the bullshit that she thought it was going to be. This was real, and she knew it.
They pulled away from one another for a moment, both of them flush with embarrassment, but a bit unsure of where to go next with this.
“Well that was something,” he said.
“Sure was. But I’m glad that I did it,” she replied.
“I am as well. You’re something else, I hope you know that,” he said.
“You are too. I can’t wait for more,” she replied.
They smiled at one another, heading back to the car. The first date was magical, and Ayaka knew that Kelvin loved it. However, the second date would surely be even better, for what he had planned for her was something out of this world and better than ever before.
