Naughty Ceo’s Secret
Chapter 37

I'm still reeling.

A date?

Kenzo.. is taking me on.. a date.

I didn't really see the Pet Store as a date, so I wasn't counting this as one originally. I had no idea if Kenzo considered taking me there as a date or not. Honestly, I was too afraid to ask.

Then he.. he told me we were going on one. Now I'm more nervous than I was before. I spent all night texting Kenzo too.

At first it was just about my underwear. After Kenzo had picked out something for me to wear, he kept the conversation going. And by that, I mean that he called me right after. We talked on the phone for over an hour. I didn't hear anything going on in the background either.

Kenzo must have been home. We didn't even talk about s*ex. He just asked me how my day was since we didn't get much time to talk.

Honestly, it made me feel really good. For once Kenzo and I had a lengthy conversation, and there was no s*ex talk involved. He heard me when I told him that we didn't get to talk much that day, and he made sure I felt important. Already Kenzo Suzuki has me feeling things no one else has. I'm getting real feelings for him. Fast, deep, intense feelings. Ones I'm not really sure about..

A knock at my front door pulled me from my thoughts.

Thank god Jed is working today. I was really worrying about him meeting Kenzo.

I rushed to the door, and pulled it open. Kenzo is standing on the other side with a small smile on his lips. He has on a pair of dark blue jeans, and a crisp white V-neck shirt. A bouquet of all different kinds of flowers in his hand.

I could have melted right there. Not only did he bring me flowers again, but he's in.. normal clothes. Not even the first night I met Kenzo was he in regular clothes, not like this. He looks.. "You're drooling kitten." Kenzo teased.

I wiped the side of my mouth as I moved to the side offering Kenzo to come inside my apartment. Kenzo stepped in, and handed me the flowers. I gladly took them with a smile. "Thank you." I said.

I found a vase under the sink, and filled it with water. After I put my flowers in it I set it on my dinning table. Then I looked back to Kenzo. Who is inspecting my apartment. "You need more space." He muttered.

laughed.

"This is a two bedroom apartment. It's plenty of space for me." I said

Kenzo shook his head, but didn't say more about my apartment.

"So, where are we going?" I asked

Kenzo smirked at me.

"It's a surprise."

****************

"I can't believe you brought me here. I haven't been here since I was a kid." I told Kenzo.

Kenzo brought me to the Aquarium. We've been walking around, enjoying the place for the last couple hours. Its been more than fun.

I don't think I've ever had this much fun when I came here before. Not even as a small kid. I have a lot of memories of Jed and I having a blast as kids here, but.. This is so different. I'm with Kenzo.

I still don't think it's fully registered in my brain that I'm on a date with Kenzo Suzuki. He's been a perfect gentleman the whole time. Kenzo has made this day absolutely amazing for me. We've seen everything this place has to offer. We even got ice cream, and other snacks. Kenzo has been spoiling me.

Even when I came here as a kid I don't think that my parents spoiled us this much.

It's been surreal. Seeing Kenzo not only in normal clothes and not a suit, but.. All of this. Watching him eat junk food, seeing how polite he is with strangers, seeing him get slightly excited over the sting rays. It's a different side of Kenzo that I never knew was there. I like this side of him. A lot. Possibly too much.

Is Kenzo always like this when he isn't in CEO mode? Is this his Dom side? He hasn't really bossed me around.

I thought that his Dom side would be different. Honestly, I thought I would be bossed around all day. Get told where to go, what to do, what to eat. I wasn't really looking forward to that. Thankfully, that isn't what I got at all.

Kenzo let me take the lead on where to go. He brought me here, opened my door, helped me out of the car, and then told me to lead the way. Kenzo said anywhere I wanted to go I could, just not to be more than four feet away from him. I could totally do that. Even when we stopped to get snacks Kenzo let me choose.

It was his idea to stop, which surprised me. Then he told me anything I wanted I could have. Which also.. surprised me..

When I came here as a kid I wasn't allowed to have snacks like that. Jed and Jezz got to, but not me. I was always a chubby kid. I was overweight for my entire life up until about a year ago. Mom never let me have junk food because of that.

I'm not sure why I thought Kenzo would be like that though.

Maybe I have PTSD from my mom. All I know, is that I've been having an amazing day.

"I really want to thank you for today Kenzo. I'm having so much"

I stopped abruptly when I turned my head, and don't see Kenzo. I looked all around me, but don't see Kenzo anywhere. I lost him in the crowd of people. Oh no.. I told him that I wouldn't stay more than four feet from him.

I started walking back where I came searching for Kenzo.

I'm starting to panic. Where did he go?

I pulled out my phone to call him. Just when I tried to press the call button, my phone was snatched from my hand. I looked up with a frown my face.

Then my blood ran cold.

No way.-

"Looks like we meet again sweet cheeks."

The guy from the club all those weeks ago.. How is he here? Is this just dumb luck? Dumb bad luck..

"Give me my phone back. Now." I demanded.

Oh man, this isn't good. I need to find Kenzo. This is the same goon who followed me from the club. He's clearly dangerous.

"I'll give it back, if you come somewhere with me." He said.

I scoffed.

"You'll give it back right now, or I will start screaming." I said.

The man shook his head, and took a step closer to me. I took a step back. He took another forward. Until I was backed into a wall of a building

I looked around as panic really started to set in. There are people around, but they aren't paying us any attention. If I screamed right now someone would do something right?

"You scream, and I'll gut you with this." The man said as he pressed something to my stomach.

My eyes went wide as my breathing when erratic. This isn't happening. No. I'm supposed to be on a date. No wonder Kenzo didn't want me too far from him.

The man bent his head down to my ear, and I cringed.

"Now, how about we start walking to the parking lot." He suggested.

When I didn't move, the man grabbed my shoulder, and spun me around. He gave me a shove, and my legs started to move. I'm shaking so badly that I stumbled with every step I took. Where is Kenzo? He's my only hope at this point. I just hope he finds me before we make it to the exit.

"Walk faster." He ordered

Tears stung my eyes, but I didn't move faster.

"Opal!"

That's Kenzo's voice.

Hope sprouted in me, and I came to a halt.

"Keep fucking going." The man gritted out. "Opal!"

Kenzo's getting closer.

I looked at the man, and then at the direction that I heard Kenzo. I could run. I'm not that fast, but.. I could make it to Kenzo before this guy catches me right? "Don't even think about running." The man hissed in my ear.

A single tear fell from my eye.

What am I going to do? I can't go with this guy. Who knows what hell do to me..

I could risk taking a stab wound. Honestly, I'd rather have a stab wound than be raped, or whatever it is this guy has planned. I might even make it to Kenzo in time. "Get moving." The man said.

I stared in the direction that I heard Kenzo. I need to make a decision. A smart one. A risky one either way..

What should I do?

"Opal!"

Well, I'm taking that as a sign. I gave the man one last look.

I threw my body into him making him stumble back, and then I ran.
