Ties that bind

[Kililia]

Keiko shook her head:" I am fine, I won't fall asleep...I can nap in the car..." She smiled and ate the pickles and relaxed:" so yummy...I can eat solid later..." She ate crackers with peanut butter* " mmmm.. so good"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He shook his head, "You can have all the pickles you want, I will even let them buy you more. Can't stand the stuff myself, no idea why there is any in the pantry."

He finished his meal and sipped on his tea as he watched her enjoy the food she had asked for.

 

[Kililia]

Keiko randomly asked for tuna sandwich and added slide of pickled and ate it;" mmm.." she offered it to Kento:" take a bite... Don't be a child...it's real delicious!"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He shook his head and gave a light shudder, "No thank you, you can have the pickle. I will eat the sandwich, but not with the pickle on it."

He knew that she was making fun of his revulsion of pickles, but it was good-natured fun. He reached up and took hold of her hand, looking at her, he playfully bit her fingers and grinned, before letting her wrist go.

 

[Kililia]

Keiko bite into the sandwich and looked at him: " I am not teasing you, try it....*Bats her eyelashes at him* " For your loving mommy to be?" *Even she was surprised by the twist of sweet bitter, it was not revolting as she expected. Other him again" seriously, i never imagine it be good but the touch of sweet bread and butter flavor pickle mix with the tuna is great...pppllleeeaaasseee?" *Offer him* " small bite, hun!"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He seriously didn't want to, the idea of the pickles was just too much, but Keiko have been behaving herself and was acting more like the modern wife than a rebellious and scheming child. He wanted to keep her happy, but not allow her too much room to try and challenge him again. He took the bite she offered him, hiding his revulsion as he chewed it and swallowed it down with tea.

"Satisfied now?"

 

[Kililia]

Keiko smiled and hugged him: " thank you,Hun" * kissing him softly* " how would my loving husband wish to be rewarded?"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He hugged her back and shook his head, "Not everything I do for you needs a reward."

He grinned, "I had enough reward a bit earlier."

He got up and helped her to her feet as well, "We will have to start remodeling, When you progress with the pregnancy you are not going to get up so easily. I know traditions are good for us, but just like the shower, you don't have to be uncomfortable."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko followed her man: " Can't you think of none sexual reward? " *Smirk* " such a perv....tsk,tsk.tsk..." *Smiles and kisses him:" guide the way to next meeting"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He chuckled at her, "And why do I need to ask for a reward? Can't you think of rewards that I will like?"

They entered the car again and they were driving back towards the office, "But in all seriousness, I think we will have to remodel. Make it easier for you and of course childproof the house. I look around and I see so many things that can hurt a small child. Even though we learn through experience, it is not necessary to get hurt to learn."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko nodded:" you are right, tomorrow, I will remodel the house if you can afford the bill. It's not cheap ...lots of work...if you have ideas send them over that way if I miss anything...you can point it out ..."

 

[TertiusHuman]

He laughed at her response, "If I can afford the bill, I know you already know that it can be covered, as long as you don't try to build ten houses on top of each other, we should be fine."

He took her hand in his and squeezed it gently, "We can go through it all tonight after the meeting."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko smiled at the idea of going hrough the details with him for their baby. : " i love that idea...i am thinking keep it simple, basic...i do not not want it clutter"

she had never been a big spender: " but i want to best top line carriage...thats for sure..i wanna go out hike and camp alot....i miss doing that"

 

[TertiusHuman]

He looked at her as the car drew up to the office building, "Hiking, that explains the firm butt."

He grinned at her and stepped out of the car, adjusting his suit and they moved into the lobby, his aide met him with a few messages, he read through them and handed a few to Keiko, "Look into those people for me, seems like there's been a lot of people skimming money from the company."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko nodded as she took the notes:" I will need a laptop...should take a few minute. She smiles as the aid that quickly handed her a small laptop.

She sat down with her laptop once in the office, she began track down their accounts. She pulled and pen and paper and took notes. The she full concentrated on her laptop to get the details.

She smiled and began write down every name and how much they stole. She handed it to her husband and added a note asking;" want me withdrawal from their account and place it into ours?'

 

[TertiusHuman]

Kento looked at the note and glanced at Keiko with a slight shake of his head, they finished the meeting, in which Keiko once more proved her sharp and devious mind as she passed on various thoughts and ideas to him. Some he used and others he added a twist on, but in the end, the group of men left shaken and ashamed.

Kento tapped his finger on the paper as the last of the men filed out and the door closed behind them, "That would be stealing what was stolen."

He turned to face her, "You can be an evil woman when you want to be." He smiled to show that he was not upset or angry.

"I wonder what the penalties are on undeclared income, perhaps the offices of the National Tax Agency would be very interested if they saw these reports of money being stolen from not only us but the government as well."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko smirk: " and you dare call me evlll"..* she hesitated* " true but once the govt enter, it's a whole new ball game. They will go for the top player and make you their puppet. Hell they would threaten take our child to get what they want,him..
We can just step.in when they steal and take out their parted or child infront of their eyes as a punishment.... "

 

[TertiusHuman]

He tapped the armrest of his chair, thinking about her statement

"I can understand your fear, it makes a lot of sense to me. But even with the government being the worst gangsters there are, they can't dare to get involved in a scandal that will cause an international incident. I am sure that you have seen our foreign interests by now. Also, the business is clean and there's just nothing they can do to the other side of our personal lives. Unless they want to expose themselves."

He looked at her a while longer, "So either we cut the competition out of the picture or we stay on the legal side. See if you can find other ways to let the government focus on them without making us complicit."

 

[Kililia]

Keiko ran her hand over her stomach unconsciously as she fear this part now that she was with child. She sighed:" I rather do all legally to take out the competition..." She looked at him:" just be careful..."

 

[TertiusHuman]

He smiled, "Exactly why I want you to have a legal means to attain this. If they are stealing money from us, there must be skeletons in their closest and I am quite sure that you can find them."

It seemed to him that her complete defiance towards him had come to an end and that she finally understood that he was not the enemy in their relationship.

 

[Kililia]

She sighed dramatically:" and here I thought, you were in charge....yet here I am working my finger raw....ssoooo cruel.... Plus, I get nothing of this but the usual....sooo unfair" * smirks*

 

[TertiusHuman]

He grinned, "Oh I am in charge, why do you think I am getting you to do the hard work?"

He leaned forward, "But if you have complaints, I might decide to discipline you."

 

[Kililia]

.Keiko smack him playfully as he replied that he was in charge. She glared at him:" your such a perv with you obsession to discipline... You should return into prostitution business.i am sure you can satisfy your need and your discipline fetish"* * walk away ,rolling her eyes*

 

[TertiusHuman]

He chuckled and got up from his chair, following her out of the door. He went to his office, checked through the folders and returned a few calls and checked through his e-mail. He wasn't sure where Keiko had disappeared to, but he was certain that soon enough she'd show up and they could go home.

 

[Kililia]

Keiko finished her reasearch on the targets and prepare a folder of her concerns on the easiness to skip the top and made list of procedure. She returned to him and handed over her work: " Can we go home now or is there more to do...i made a list of solutions" *kissed him*
" I'm tired
"* she placed his hand on her stomach and asked : " would you be disappointed if it was a girl?"
