After a nice cold shower, due to her hormones being off the wall, Natalie was dressed in a nice pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt with her favorite couple from Hot Collison on the front. It was a romance, ecchi anime she read a lot. It was about a male model, Hans and his lovely assistant Lyra, who embark on an adventure around the world, only to find that all they really wanted was each other.
Natalie pulled her hair into a ponytail and headed downstairs. She stepped into the kitchen to see Yashina sipping on a glass of bright red shaved ice and tequila. She looked up and smirked. "That's what you're wearing to this secret date?" Yashina asked as she gestured toward her with her glass. "He said causal" Natalie replied, folding her arms. "Got one of those for me?"
Yashina grabbed another glass from the cupboard and placed it on the counter before pouring some strawberry daiquiri mix and shaved ice into the glass. She then added in a generous amount of tequila. "Do me a favor.. If. And I'm only saying.. IF anything happens tonight, you better not waste any juicy details!" she said before handing the glass over to her best friend. "I'm serious Nat. I want to hear everything."
Natalie smiled as she grabbed the glass. "Of course.. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't share any juicy details with my best friend?" she asked before drinking some of her strawberry daiquiri. "Mn.. Too much tequila Yashi" she mumbled before drinking more. "But I'll deal with it, as long as I don't get drunk, we're good."
"Hey, last I checked, you weren't such a lightweight when it comes to alcohol.. So shut it" Yashina giggled before downing half of her glass. "Have fun with your pop star boyfriend" she teased and winked at her.
"Not my boyfriend" Natalie whined as she leaned a hip against the table. She downed her own daiquiri and coughed. "Ugh.. Nope.. No more" she mumbled and placed the nearly empty glass on the table. "See you later Yashi, love ya!" She waved to her as she headed for the door. "Hey! Wait!" Yashina put her glass down and chased after her.
She quickly grabbed Natalie into a hug. "Be a good girl, okay? And drink lots of water, you drank a lot of that daiquiri, and we don't need you getting sloppy drunk."
Natalie smiled before giving her a smacking kiss on the cheek. "Bye Yashi" she said before leaving the apartment.
Yashina watched as she got into a cab. She knocked on the window before giving her a thumbs up. "You can do this girl!"

Natalie got out of the cab and handed the driver some cash before walking toward the hotel. She had a slight stumble but other than that, she was all good. Though, she was definitely feeling the tequila. She stepped into the lobby and was immediately hit with the aroma of fresh mint and chocolate. It made her smile. She hadn't been to this hotel since she was just a child. It was nice to be here again.
Natalie made her way to the elevator and pressed the up button. Once the doors slid open and stumbled in, having a young man grab her arm to steady her. "Easy Miss. Are you alright?" he asked. She recognized that voice! She looked up into the eyes of Natsume Asahina. What was he doing here?
"N.. Natsume? What are you doing here?"
Natsume chuckled as he helped her into the elevator and folded his arms. "I was visiting a client, uh.. What floor number?" he asked while smiling. His smile was so charming. "Third floor.. I'm going to see your arrogant brother Fuuto.."
"Oh?" Natsume rose a brow as he studied her. He could smell the tequila. Was she even in her right mind to be seeing Fuuto right now? He laughed and pressed the third floor button for her. That was none of his business. "Have a nice night Natalie, and do be careful? Fuuto has been acting weird the past week" he said before walking off the elevator, leaving her alone.
Natalie sighed and pressed her palm against the elevator as she felt lightheaded for a moment. She soon straightened out as the doors slid open, revealing the third floor of the hotel. Natalie stepped into the warm hallway and headed for the room she would be meeting Fuuto at. Once there, she pulled out the key and fumbled with the lock.
The door opened before she could even get the key in the lock.
