"It's been more than 30 minutes and I don't know what she's looking for, her closet is quite huge, what does she keep in there tops, skirts, lingerie, it's too large for just some clothes.
"Juri, we'll miss the boat," I scold.
"Oh I found it, I found it ren, thank heavens."
In heaven's name what did she find, it would be better worth my time, Yui has called three times and I didn't pick up because I was in the middle of this chaos.
She came back from the other room with a two-piece formal suit and a pair of black trousers, "what's this Juri," I ask hastily.
"This is what you're gonna wear idiot," she nods.
"It looks quite expensive Juri, why do you have a suit in your closet," I gaze at her.
"It is, it's a Louis Philippe suit, I have a couple of these fine suits in my closet, I bought all of them for my boyfriend but it turns out he doesn't like taking things from me."
"Anyway let's not dwell on the past, it would look lovely on you ren," she mutters.
"Okay," I mumbled.
I strip off my shirt, I sigh and close my eyes. "What are you peeping at," I snap.
"Me?!" She turns her gaze around the room.
"Who else is in this room Juri," I say softly.
"Don't mind me I'm just admiring the view, aren't you gonna wear that trouser," she looks quizzically at me.
"I will, right after you leave the room and the trouser alone."
"Hmmm" she gave me an emotionless look and then left.
I wore the two pieces suit and the trouser in a beat, it's a perfect fit, I stare at myself in the mirror and become fonder of the suit by the second, I head across the living room and join Juri eventually.
"How do I look ren," she asks, seeking my answer.
"You look beautiful Juri," I answer truthfully.
"Ah! Just beautiful," she's staring at me with threatening eyes.
"I don't often use the term beautiful, so when I say you look beautiful Juri, I mean it," I murmured.
"You think, I'm beautiful ren," she nods.
"You are my love, can we leave now?"
"Keep calling me that, I love it."
"No, thanks once is quite enough."
Knowing and doing are quite distinctive words, at the moment I know what I'm doing but I don't know what I am doing whether it is right or wrong, ever since I met this girl I'm repeatedly seeing unfamiliar sides of myself, nonetheless, it makes me feel better since Emi left me I almost forgot how does it feels like to be loved to be happy and for that I honour Juri.
She grabs her purse as we move out of the apartment waiting for the lift as I press the button to the basement floor… After a few minutes of uncertainty, the elevator finally arrives.
The door opens and we get in, there are other people in the elevator, Juri is playing with a toy called a phone, the door closes.
PEOPLE CHATTERING
They look so cute together, they're such a beautiful couple.
Another male voice.
Look at the girl damn, she's so hot, I bet she's a model.
Another voice.
Who's that guy with her, there's no way in hell he's her boyfriend perhaps her brother.
I peek up at Juri who's obviously listening to them blabbering, I'm wearing my half enigmatic smile, all of a sudden she holds my hand and whispers in-ear "Ren they all are talking about us."
"They all are talking about you Juri," she blushes, she releases my hand and leans her head against my shoulder. "Baby why are acting so weird today, tell me if it is something about last night if you didn't like that position I would…," her voice is louder than she thought.
The eyes of all people in the elevator including mine widen up, shocked and alarmed.
What the hell is she talking about, it's neither the place nor the time for being smutty, does her ambitions have no limits?
"It's too public here don't you think Juri," I whisper in low tones.
"Do you think they all heard me," she mumbled.
"I'm quite certain they heard you Juri," she peeks back in remorse her cheeks flushed.
"I'm sorry ren," she whispers.
"It's alright just don't look back."
The door abruptly opens, I hold her hand hastily in embarrassment and head towards the basement.
"Are you okay ren," she asks.
"It's nothing, come on we're getting late," I breathe, why did I agree to this, I regret this already.
"Are you sure, you're sweating?"
"Yes," I scold.
"Please don't be mad at me," she glances down at her hands.
"I'm not mad Juri," I let go of her hand.
"Okay wait here, I'll be back in a moment," she frowns.
She disappears in the dark, why is it all dark in the basement, is it night already I peek at my watch and sigh in relief, they're taking 3300 Yen for the maintenance what do they do with all that money, she's gone for a couple of minutes.
My phone suddenly began to rings, I look over ohh it's Yui.
"Hello," I say softly.
"Why weren't you answering your phone," she shouted.
"I was busy Yui, in the middle of something," I muttered.
"Where are you now?" She asked.
"I'm on my way yui, on my way," I answer quickly.
"Don't worry it's 3 in the noon, I'll be there before your party starts alright, when will it start?"
"Sharp 8," she snaps.
"I'll be there before that," I whisper and hung up the call.
CAR HORN SOUND
BEEP BEEP…. BEEP BEEP BEEP….
OHH it's luminous the gleam, I cover my eyes with my hand, the LED of the car is very bright.
I manage to look up, God's grace, it's Lexus RX 450hl, I have seen it before a couple of times, I'm green with envy with the owner of this car.
The horn continues.
BEEP BEEP… BEEP BEEP…
I make my way towards the car as the window opens and a familiar voice came from inside, "Chop chop put your ass in….."
