Kaori wore the dress Jake had prepared for her. In a white dress that was above the knee, Kaori decided to tie her hair up and show off her slender shoulders. It exposed Kaori's milky white skin. After feeling perfect appearance, Kaori immediately got out of the bathroom, Kaori was forced to dress up in the bathroom because last night she and Jake shared the same room and they both spent the night together.
"Kao" Jake called
"Hmm" Kaori mumbled while smoothing her hair, ignoring Jake who was approaching her.
"Did you do it on purpose?" asked Jake who was now behind Kaori's tiny body.
"What do you mean?" asked Kaori who was surprised by Jake's presence behind her. They are very close. Kaori could feel Jake's breath on her neck. Jake's exhalation made Kaori's hair tingle. Kaori felt a new sensation that she couldn't explain, it was just that it made Kaori's body feel electric.
"Kao? You know, I don't like what you're showing right now?"
"Do you mean that you want me to change the dress I'm wearing? Didn't you choose it for me?"
"I like the dress you're wearing" Jake answered by bringing his lips closer to Kaori's neck which invited Jake's desire to immediately have Kaori and make Kaori his.
"Ja-jake, what are you doing?" Kaori asked frantically and made herself trying to escape from Jake's embrace. Unfortunately, it's all for nothing. Kaori was late, Jake had shackled Kaori with his body. Even Jake's lips made an imprint on Kaori's neck. A red trail that made Kaori panic.
"Ja-jake, this hurts so much. What are you doing?" asked Kaori who was uncomfortable with what Jake did to her, "Jake, I beg you. I don't understand what you are doing, I'm sorry if I offended you. But, I-"
"You didn't offend me, Kao. I just wanted to do it because your neck looks very beautiful" said Jake who cut off Kaori's conversation, Jake looked satisfied at his handiwork. A few red marks on Kaori's neck were enough to make Kaori give up her intention to tie the jet black hair that dangled beautifully on her back.
"Jake! You made me unable to tie my hair" protested Kaori who was now looking at Jake full of anger.
"I have to make the mark. I don't like you tying your hair"
"You just tell me that. Why do you have to do this?" asked Kaori.
"Because I like it"
"You perverted man"
"Hmm, you'll like it if I do something more perverted than what I did before," Jake said as he rolled his eyes.
"D*mn it!" cursing Kaori,
Jake smiled and kissed Kaori's cheek. Jake was not deterred from making Kaori curse at him. Satisfied with his prank, Jake rushed out of his room. Jake's steps stopped when he saw Amelia standing in front of his room.
"We are waiting for you two to have breakfast together"
"Ok ma'am, we'll be down soon"
"Hmm," said Amelia "Jake, are you sure you want to marry Kaori? I don't want you to do anything stupid and embarrass our family"
"I and Kao love each other"
"Love? Since when do you believe in love? I know, you only want our treasure."
"You seem to have misunderstood, Kao and I are in this relationship on a consensual basis"
"Kaori deserves another man more than you, you're just an unfortunate adopted child. I'll arrange a blind date for you, and leave Kaori. I'll give you what you want"
"Mom-"
"Auntie, what you said hurt my pride. I love Jake very much. Do you intend to separate me and Jake?" cut off Kaori who accidentally came out with her hair tied up, making Amelia see the kiss marks on Kaori's neck. Amelia's eyes widened, and she pulled Kaori's body closer to her, making sure the red mark left on her neck was indeed a kiss mark.
"Kao! I didn't see wrong?" Amelia asked frantically, "how can you fall in love with a man like Jake? Oh my God..."
"Auntie, I still have a lot of marks like this, do you want to see it?" asked Kaori pretending to be an innocent and innocent girl.
Not only, Amelia, but Jake was also surprised by what Kaori said. Even though it was just a bluff, Jake was worried that Amelia would check it out. Without further ado, Kaori tried to lower the straps of her dress slightly,
"No need! I don't want Jay to see what Jake did. I believe you two love each other. Fix your appearance immediately, and after that, we will wait for you two at the dinner table" said Amelia while leaving Jake and Kaori hugging each other.
Kaori and Jake breathed a sigh of relief. Amelia gave up and decided to believe what Kaori said. Jake took his eyes off Amelia's silhouette,
"You don't need to thank me, I'm doing this because it's for both of us," Kaori said in a haughty tone, causing Jake to suppress a smile. Jake, lowering his head, brought himself closer to Kaori's tiny body.
"I think you are too confident" Jake whispered in Kaori's ear, "I was just thinking, what if Amelia asks for proof, should I prove it for real and make a kiss mark on the part of your body that is covered by this beautiful dress," continued Jake. Kaori glared at Jake fiercely.
"Jake, you just die!" Kaori shouted by giving Jake a gift stamped on Jake's feet.
"Ah! Sick Kao"
"I'm still stepping on your toes. Haven't done anything else, you pervert!" Kaori cursed with a bright red face holding back embarrassment.
**
Jake and Kaori immediately said goodbye to Yusuke, Amelia and Jay. They both need to get back to their routine.
"I will miss you both very much, I hope you will spend more time with this old man" Yusuke pleaded,
"Of course Uncle, I will visit Uncle often," said Kaori,
"I'll be looking forward to it," said Yusuke who stroked Kaori's hair like his own daughter, "don't forget to let me know if you two are going to get married" Yusuke continued,
"But we-"
"Of course, dad" Jake cut in, "we're not going to have an engagement party, we're going to have our wedding soon. I think dad's permission is more than enough for both of us to take it to a more serious level."
"You're right. You don't waste your time, I'm afraid Kaori turns to another man"
"Father, that won't happen, because I am Kaori's life. Is that right, Dear?" asked Jake who was now seeking approval from Kaori.
Kaori panicked, she could only smile and nodded her head. After all, this is the best path for both of them, the more support that flows, the faster Selina and Lara will crumble in front of Kaori especially now that the Nakamura family has united, making Kaori's path to victory easier.
