She chuckles. “You mean you didn’t just plan for us to come out and eat here?”

I shake my head, but then as the server takes out her chair again, she dismisses him.

“If I sit down, then I won’t be able to get up again. Besides, I’m free,” she says, but then as she winks, I realize that she has finally taken the plug out. She must have thrown it in the trash, but I’m not about to ask her what she did with it. I doubt she would put it in her purse.

She is proving to be something I never considered she could be. A submissive. I jump from my seat and indicate for the server to contact my associate in Japan to be paid. I never carry any type of card or anything. Things are paid for and done by my associate only. Maybe he’ll come here and pay later, or they’ll do it over the phone. The only thing I have to worry about is making sure Leticia has a good time.

“In that case, we better get out of here.”

Tonight has been nice, but it’s about to get better.

1 Beautiful.

2 Oh God!

3 Hello.

4 Hello. Welcome.

5 Thank you.

6 Excuse me. Can I have the menu?

7 Certainly.

8 Please give me this.

9 Understood.

Leticia

There’s something different about Diego tonight, but I can’t put my finger on it. It’s as if every time he looks at me, he smiles. As if now that he’s not in the office and working, he has transformed to someone else. It’s as if he’s human. I just can’t get enough of him, and the attraction between us is strong. He gently strokes my hand as we reach the limo. I thank the server and the chefs as we leave the restaurant.

“It feels a little like being at home in Cobeña, being here,” I say before getting into the limo.

Once Diego is inside, he says, “How so?”

“Everyone greets each other. There’s a sign of respect and appreciation for you eating at their restaurant, for you being in their company. There’s just so much gratitude. It makes me feel even more grateful than I already am for having this new experience.”

He nods his head, but then I remember Diego has enough money to buy the restaurant and more, so to him this is nothing new but just another day out. His hand rests on my knee, sending a shiver through me and making me forget what I was talking about.

“I can’t imagine you being anything but grateful all the time.”

My eyes shift from his, but then I close them as he draws closer to kiss me. Not sensually, but more of a friendly kiss. I want more, crave it, but at the same time, I’m hungry to see more of the streets of Tokyo.

He lifts his arm and shifts so he can hold me in his arms.

“I feel safe whenever you do this. As if nothing wrong can happen.”

I confess to him.

“It means a lot to you, to be protected.”

I chuckle. “I can look after myself, but the idea you wanting to do it for me too … yes, it does mean a lot.”

I don’t say another word. The night is too perfect, and I don’t want to spoil it. I see a sign that saystheater. The only part of Japanese that I can read of the sign.
