Remember me? Yep I'm the jerk that left a lot of you guys hanging for years and I'm terribly sorry for that! I've always been bad at completing a story, but you know what I want to change that. Lately I've really wanted to finish this story. I had really liked the plot, so that's what I'm going to do. I have changed a bit of the writing in the first two chapters that were on here, because my writing style has changed over the years.

Let's continue shall we?

Izaya's Pov

I always hate it when Shiki takes me to his social gatherings. They are nothing but stuck up people in a boring environment. The only reason he takes me to this things is to show me off. Not to brag, but I am sexy. My skin is a flawless white with no imperfections that goes great with my raven black hair, and not to mention my unique blood red eyes. But just because I'm sexy doesn't mean I like to be showed off, like some kind of item.

I can't deny Shiki though. Not if I want another beating by him. I lied when I said I had no imperfections on my skin. Many different kinds of bruises cover my body now. Only on places were you can't see. Shiki use to not beat me. He used to actually love and cherish me believe it or not.

I met Shiki about two years ago. At the time I worked at a high class men's suits store. My job was to help and pick out suits that would fit and look good on the customers. I was casually hanging up some suits we just got in the moment Shiki walked in. It wasn't busy that day so I was the only one working the floor too. When I saw Shiki I immediately thought he was a good looking man. Everything about him screamed my type of guy. Sure he was about ten/twenty years older than me, but he looked great for a man his age.

"May I help you~?" I had asked giving Shiki the best smile I could give.

After looking me up and down he had smirked and said "Why yes you can. I need a suit for a date tonight." Hiding my disappointment at the time I went over to where I just hang up the new suits.

"A date uh? Well I got just the suit for you. Just came in today actually." I had let him know as I grabbed the black and white suit that cost at least a half a payment for a house. Walking back to him and handing him the suit as I pointed to where the changing rooms were. "If you need any help just call."

Taking the suit and nodding, he had gone into the changing rooms. Once he was in I leaned up against the wall crossing my arms and started pouting. It wasn't fair that he already had a date. Why I couldn't find myself such a good looking date? I straitened back up once I heard the door to the changing room open.

"Well?" Shiki asked with a slight grin on his face. "What do you think? Do you like it?" He asked playfully doing a little spin for me.

Taking deep breaths and trying to control my raging hormone I nodded. "Yes, yes you look great. It suits you perfectly." I say with a huge smile.

"Great. I'll buy it." He said as he went back into the changing room.

Waiting till he went back inside the room before I started fanning myself. This store needed better airing system it was too damn hot in here. After getting myself together once more, I walked up to the check out to get ready to check my dream guy out of my life forever. Straightening up as he walked out with the suit in his hand.

"Do you think you could hold this suit for me? I'm too worried that I might ruin it on my way back home. I'll be back tonight to change into it here before my date." Shiki asked has he handed me the suit with a small smile.

So he's going to be back? I think to myself as I silently high-five myself in my head. "No problem. Would you like to pay for it now?" I ask as I start to ring it up on the computer anyways.

"Yes and don't' tell me the price. I hate to know how much money I'm spending." He joked as he handed me his credit card. "I have one more question for you before I leave." He says as I ring up his suit.

"What is it?" I ask while handing him his card back.

"What kind of rose would be best to give on the first date?"

"I personally would go with a single long stem rose. Your date can't hate you for that." I say as I secretly wish I was his date.

Taking back his card and signing his name in the computer. "Sounds great, I'll go with that. Thank you." He says as he starts to walk out. "I'll see you tonight to get my suit."

Nodding with a smile "Yes, see you then." And with that he was gone. Once more I was left alone and single in this store.

With what I know now, I wish I hadn't waited for Shiki to come back to the store that night. I wish I would have told another co-worker to wait for him. Then maybe I wouldn't have had said yes to his question. Sadly there is no such thing as time machines. But there is such a thing called regret.
