Chapter 12: Our Second Encounter

Davids POV

I got up and went for my run. I decided that I would eat at the diner this morning. I have a cook but I want her to have the morning off today. She has worked for me for about 10 years now. During that time she has never missed a day of work, so every now and again, I would have her take some time off.

I went upstairs and took a shower. I then got dressed. I threw on a pair of sweatpants and a t-shirt. I would be changing into my gi when I got to the dojo. I wore a t-shirt under my uniform top because there was no way you could wear anything under your bottoms because that would restrict your movement. You needed to be able to kick and move your hips.

I went to the garage and got in my jag. I headed to the diner. I noticed that Karas' mother's car was there. Ever since I saved that girl, I can't get her out of my mind. I'm even dreaming about her. I got out of the car and went inside. She was waiting tables. She saw that I had come in.

I did not know what section she was working in. I went and sat down in an empty booth. She looked in my direction again. I must have sat in her section because she came over to my table.

" Good morning, what can I get started for you?" she asked.

I looked up from the menu.

" Hey Kara, how are you this morning?" I asked.

"I'm good David." she responded.

" Here in public it is all right to call me David, but in class you will address me as Sensi," I stated.

" OK." she stated.

She looked at me confused. But at the dojo she would have to call me Seni. I really didn't mind that she called me David. I think she is beautiful. Her eyes and her hair were just perfect. She gave off this aura that she was looking for someone to love her.

"I'll have some toast and eggs," I stated.

" Ill go get that started. What would you like to drink?" she asked.

"I'll have some coffee," I stated.

" Would you like cream and sugar," she asked.

" Yes I would." I stated.

She turned around and headed to put my order in. I watched her leave. She has the most prefect round bottom. You could tell she worked out or at least jogged. Her legs looked strong. She would deliver powerful kicks. I started daydreaming about what it would be like with her legs wrapped around me.

I could hear the other women in the restaurant talking about me. They were right. I was rich. But I wouldn't date anyone. Most of them wanted to date me for my money. I wanted someone who wanted me for me, not my money. She was returning with my coffee and food. She was blushing. I wondered what caused her to blush so badly. Was she getting too hot? Or was she flustered by my presence?

" Are you OK" I asked.

" Yes, I'm fine." she stated.

" Are you sure?" I asked.

" Yes." she state.

She then quickly turned out and hurried away. I don't know what I did to cause her to blush like that. She must be embarrassed. She didn't do anything she should be upset about. I cannot help it that I think she is beautiful. I ate my breakfast and drank my coffee. I left a $10 tip for her and my cell phone number. When I got to the car, I couldn't believe I gave her my personal number. What is wrong with me?

I then got in my jag and drove to the dojo. The beginners class was at 4 today. So I will see her again, hopefully. I then quickly sat his food down and turned around. I then went to the dojo. My little gals and guys were waiting for me. They were all sitting on the mat. My assistant was teaching them stretches. When I walked on the mat, they all stood up and bowed to me. That was standard practice in karate. We started going through the belts. First, I had my white belts show me their form.

The day went on and all my classes were coming to an end. I was working with my black belts. We just had one that received his first black belt. Now it was the time for them to start sparring. I matched up the lower black belts and the higher black belts. I was helping a student correct his form.

When she walked into the main entrance hall, we made eye contact and I started to approach her. She kept staring at me. I could tell she was flustered. Did she have a bad day at work, or what was wrong with her? I'll get to the bottom of it before her class ends. My black belts still have another 30 minutes.

" Hey Kara." I greeted her.

" Hi Sensi," she stated.

" What are you doing here early." I asked.

I knew she had come straight from work.

" I walked from work. Is there a place I can change?" she asked.

" Yes, through there," I stated.

I pointed to a hallway.

"Thank you," she stated.

She turned around and started to head down the hallway when I grabbed her by the shoulder.

" Are you forgetting something?" I asked.

" Umm no." she stated.

" You need to always bow to me," I stated.

She looked at me confused. That was going to be addressed in her class. But out of respect for the sensi you always bow to them in class or in the dojo. Out in public it wasn't necessary. She bowed to me and continued down the hallway. I watched her go into the ladies' locker room. I had to regain my composer or my students would know I had feelings for her.

What is it about this girl that has me so attracted to her? I have never met her beffore. It was troubling me. I continued to work with my black belts until the end of their class. As more students started to arrive for the beginners' class, I was anxious for her to come out of the locker room.

She finally emerged out of the locker room. She was probably one of the youngest adults in my class. I did have younger students but they were in the class in the morning.
