Something has changed now after that conversation.
In this one month he asked me to accompany him several times, usually at dinner. But strangely he never behaved to me again.
He didn't ask any questions, tried to be annoying, but he told me his thoughts clearly without further ado, without me having to guess the contents of his mind.
Why did he change from that ignorant attitude. But it makes me feel safe. I don't have to feel played with every time I face him. He even let me be in my own apartment, voluntarily driving me there without question. Never asked me to stay in his house again.
I was curious to finally ask.
"Hisao, why have you been a little weird lately?"
"Any? What's so weird?"
"Well, you don't seem to be ignorant anymore, lacking sarcasm, you usually like to upset me about your conversation?"
"You want me to piss you off, I can do it, and then you'll put on your friendly mask again." He grimaced while pushing my forehead with his finger.
"So that's the reason?" I examined his face while stroking my own forehead.
He didn't answer. Just look at me for a second and go back to his phone.
But something else has changed. Hisao sometimes calls during lunch break. Because of course the night I work, sometimes getting the message during the day now like it's not surprising now, sometimes he talks something about our work schedule sometimes just a trivial conversation.
I'm actually afraid of this habit. Me and him are just escorts. I was afraid to start expecting her message, because I couldn't have feelings for her .. And this felt like we were really becoming friends more than just a companion.
As usual the weekend he was in his training clothes. I can wash my eyes a little today.
"You look sleepy, did I tell you to come the day before?"
He always offered me two days to pay when he asked me to come over the weekend I never got to because I didn't think it was necessary.
"Every night guests came home pretty quickly. At one hour I can be back. Still I have to station at five. It's okay .. tonight I can rest."
"Setsuko, next time take your extra day off in Tokyo, how about I give you an extra two days off per month." He's turning out to be kind now.
"Why are you so good." I can't help but smile at her kindness.
"I feel sorry to see you working so hard. Okay? You can tell Mayumi when you want to take a day off."
"You serious? Is it really okay." I'm certainly happy that there's a looser schedule, though I doubt that.
"Why are you still asking. I'll tell Mayumi later." I finally got two paid days off from my 'danna'. I think that term could be used for him. Although there are some conditions that are not suitable. No, I'll never mention the call in front of him, he might have misrespected.
"Thank you, Housao-san." I smiled at him and bowed to him. He just smiled a little and disappeared again into his gym.
"Miss, is it breakfast?" Nanao who was used to me immediately offered me food.
"Yet..." I'm moving to the dining table.
