High-Fashion Hooker

“That is the plan.” They’d arrive at the restaurant shortly. He tried to wrack his brains for what they could do after. Walk in the park? He hadn’t been on a proper date in ages. What if things had changed? “Sleep? Read. Actually get to ride my motorcycle. Travel.” Try not to get killed for being a double-agent. “That’s the downside of a job you can’t talk about. Everything else you talk about sounds boring.It’s very distracting in conversation.”

“Italian, it is.” Was she staring or was he misconstruing normal eye contact? Angelique asked if Erika knew. Ichiro smiled. “That depends. Did you tell her you’d seduce me with a kiss before you came here? Probably not. If I end up being a horrible date, you can complain to her later. If it’s…acceptable to you and you’re interested in a second date. We’ll deal with the Rika explanation when we have to.”

“My employers value their privacy.” That was plausible. Muggle movies with spies and private security said things like that. “Of course. She’s my sister. And with our parents still in Hawaii. She’s the family I have.I suppose it wouldn’t hurt if we tried finding jobs with the same schedules. My dad was–is– a workaholic so their’s probably guilt in there about laziness somewhere.” He opened the taxi door for her before sliding in himself. “Did we say Italian?"

“Then your employers must be really rich, or celebrities, or both,” the blonde concluded.  Even working with Narcissa, it didn’t make her any less starstruck when someone famous graced their doors with a presence.  “I did not know your parents were still alive.  Your sister doesn’t mention them.  What does your father do?”  Bombarding him with questions--but that was generally the way she was, trying to get to know someone on a date.

He checked the window again. “Taxi’s here.” He opened the door and offered his arm. Work. What was he suppose to say to that? “Private security.” That seemed plausible, right? Odd hours. He was trying to make the world safer. Just in an unconventional way.

“We could leave her a note if you needed to ask her something. I have envelopes and paper.” He wasn’t surprised Erika hadn’t mentioned she lived with her brother. “I live here. Maybe she’s dancing or she took my motorcycle out again.” Without asking. Again. “We have different hours so missing each other happens sometimes.”

“Don’t worry about my sister. She’s a big girl.” Erika would probably ask him a bazillion questions later. Ichiro called the restaurant and asked if they had tables available. Then, he called the cab company. “They’re fifteen minutes out.” He walked to the window. “We’ll be able to see them when they arrive.” He turned away from the window. “What was the plan, anyway? Were you just looking for Erika?”

“Italian, it is.” Was she staring or was he misconstruing normal eye contact? Angelique asked if Erika knew. Ichiro smiled. “That depends. Did you tell her you’d seduce me with a kiss before you came here? Probably not. If I end up being a horrible date, you can complain to her later. If it’s…acceptable to you and you’re interested in a second date. We’ll deal with the Rika explanation when we have to.”
