Chapter 25: A disrupted Romantic Dinner

Letting the spaghetti to cool a bit, Eric went towards the door. Looking at the magic eye he saw a beautiful face on the other side of it.

It was a woman with red hair, olive-green eyes, and an innocent look on her face. If he had no idea who she was, he might have thought it was a new innocent neighbor they got.

Opening the door totally, he looked her in the eye, and said with an honest and innocent look,

Eric:" Hello Miss Takase, how may I help you?"

That's right this woman was the famous Miss Takase, that he wanted to manipulate to his side, Tina's best friend.

Miss Takase was a bit startled seeing him on the other side of the door, but quickly composed herself and said,

Miss Takase:" Is Tina home? I had something important to talk to her."

Eric gave her a look from the top of the head to the bottom of her legs, he had to accept that Miss Takase was a really nice curved woman, for someone her age.

Not to mention that natural maturity on her face and look, combined with her innocent vibes, it was no wonder that many men would die to have her under their crotch.

Even though he continued with his look, he said naturally,

Eric:" Well Tina is not home yet, and I was cooking some delicious spaghetti. So, how about you come and wait for her inside while enjoying my cooking?"

Miss Takase seemed a bit disappointed about not finding Tina home, they had just talked through the phone after all, but she was more surprised by Eric's invitation.

Tina had already told her some things, about how Eric had changed, but seeing is believing they say.

Before, Eric wouldn't even be able to stand straight when talking to her, and now he was so natural at inviting her to dinner, alone.

It was true, Eric had changed a lot. She didn't know what to answer right now.

Seeing her in a doubting position, Eric looked her in the eye, and licking his lips he said,

Eric:" Come on, Miss Takase, you look at me as if I am a bad wolf that might eat you. Not that I wouldn't want to do that though, but it still early."

When he finished his words, Eric had a smirk on his face, while looking her in the eye.

Miss Takase was getting more and more confused about what to do right now. Since when had this guy become so good with his words?

But now she could not refuse, could she? Otherwise, it would be taken as a weakness, and this guy was their enemy. She truly thought of Tina as her best friend.

With these thoughts in mind, she entered inside while saying,

Miss Takase:" Well then, let me taste that delicious spaghetti you said."

When she passed him and entered inside, Eric had a wolfish grin on his face, as if he was a big bad wolf that managed to place his prey inside his territory.

Immediately after he closed the door behind them and even turned the key, and made way behind her. Miss Takase was like a startled rabbit hearing the key turn, but there was nothing she could do.

She decided to just see what would happen. Right now she was concentrated on the nice smell coming from the kitchen.

She was able to sense it from when she was at the door, but now it was so close to her, when she entered inside the saloon she thought that she was in a 5-star restaurant or something.

Eric came from behind her walking naturally and said,

Eric:" Miss Takase why don't you enjoy a glass of wine while I serve the dinner. You are an esteemed guest after all."

Miss Takase wanted to object, but Eric had already said his piece and placed a glass of wine in her hand. She wasn't left with many options to refuse and object.

In the meantime Eric started serving the table, while it didn't have many things on top of it, the table looked elegant and really nicely composed.

It seemed like the table for a couple enjoying a romantic night in their home, leaving Miss Takase speechless. What was this guy planning with this?

Placing the plates on the table finally, Eric approached her, took her free hand in his, and directing her towards the table he said,

Eric:" Well then Milady, if you don't mind we can start eating now."

Miss Takase felt so nice when Eric was playing the gentleman in front of her, and for a moment she forgot that he was in age to be her son, and also the enemy.

But her ego was treated as she had always wanted, this was one of her dreams becoming reality. So no matter how much she wanted to, she couldn't resist the attraction of keeping it going.

On the other hand, Eric accompanied her to her seat and even pulled her chair so that she could sit in there comfortably.

Then seeing her empty glass, he took another bottle of wine and filled her glass to the brim. Right now Miss Takase did not pay attention to these little things.

With that done, they started eating the spaghetti. And just like they looked they were really well cooked, and the taste was even better than those in the best Italian restaurants.

For a moment Miss Takase even doubted that Eric might have ordered those from one of those restaurants to impress her.

But it wasn't like this was a date, she more like crashed in this place, until Tina came back. There was no way he had any idea she was coming.

So that couldn't really be the case.

Right now they were eating and drinking to their heart's content, and enjoying each other's company. Miss Takase didn't know when, but Eric had even lowered the lightning.

If someone entered inside right now, they would totally think that those two were having a romantic dinner together.

Talk of the devil, and he will appear!

Right at this moment, the outer door opened, and someone entered inside.

While Miss Takase was too drunk to notice, Eric was able to notice it, and he even knew who was the one entering inside.

Calculating when the person would enter the saloon, and have a look towards the kitchen, he leaned forwards and gave Miss Takase a kiss on the lips.

To the person entering inside this was just like a real-life cinema screen.

Miss Takase was caught unprepared from that kiss, but she was drunk right now, and furthermore, that kiss was so good, so without understanding how she started to reciprocate.

Right at this moment, the person who was watching this real-life movie finally woke up from her reverie and said with a loud voice,

Tina:" What the hell do you think you are doing, Takase?"

Miss Takase hearing that voice, and those words, was just like a cat who had her tail stepped on, immediately broke the kiss with Eric and turned her head towards Tina.

She didn't know what to say, or how to defend herself right now. It was true that she was a bit drunk, but she truly enjoyed everything that had happened until now.

This was one of her first time, totally treated as a woman, and enjoying the company of someone else.

Seeing this situation, Eric decided to add more oil to the fire and started protecting Miss Takase,

Eric:" Don't get mad at her, it was my fault. I was a bit forceful and kissed her."

Miss Takase wanted to say that it wasn't necessarily his fault, but seeing the dark face that Tina had right now, she didn't dare to say another word.

In the beginning, Tina was really surprised at the scene, and what was happening, and after that, she was really pissed off at Takase for doing such a thing.

Right now she was even doubting her, what if even the videos that Eric had of her, were because she had told him when to come.

If this was true, then she was sharing her secrets with the enemy. Right now she didn't know who to believe anymore, besides herself, that is.

With these thoughts in mind, she said,

Tina:" Takase please leave, we will talk together tomorrow after we both have calmed down. For now, leave please!"

Miss Takase wanted to oppose and clarify this situation right now, but it was clearly impossible. So she just threw a look at the confused face of Eric and left with her head lowered.

Seeing her leave like that, and then hearing the door cracking open and closed, Tina turned towards Eric and said,

Tina:" What are you doing!?"

Eric seemed still confused about something and said,

Eric:" What do you mean, little dog?"

Right then and there Tina was reminded of her position and situation when there were only the two of them inside the house.

But now was too late to change her attitude so she continued, even though a bit softer,

Tina:" Why did you trap her like that Master?"

Looking at this change Eric looked her right in the eye, and said,

Eric:" Oh, you finally remembered your place, little dog! I thought you had forgotten in these three days I wasn't home."

Tina felt humiliated at his words, but there was truth in them. She had truly forgotten about him in these three days he was away.

She actually hoped he never returned again, and that someone had killed him or something.

That was why she was in a reverie when she entered inside, she couldn't believe her eyes.

Then Eric continued,

Eric:" You must be so disappointed seeing me now, aren't you, little dog? After all, you had placed even a small gang behind me, to take the videos…
