''What are you doin'?'' A cute voice stop Mia and Marianne from smoking and Mia immediately put the cigar on the ground and stepped on it . Seeing where that cute voice came from.
A very cute little Japanese girl is standing right in front of them wearing a cute pink dress with a unicorn head band. The kid is narrowing its eyes palms on her both hips observing the two of them like they were hiding something suspicious from her .
''Sitting.'' Both of them answered the kid smiling innocently.
''Hmmm..'' Says the kid still narrowed eyes and leveled her face to the two of them and look in their eyes.
''Lying is bad , as smoking too.'' The kid exposed them that widens the eyes of the two adult.
''What do you mean, kid ? Who's smoking ,where?'' Mia countered not giving up to the kid.
The kid covered her nose with her two hands and said ''LIAR'' with emphasis in every letter of the word like spelling it to Mia face.
Marianne is holding her laugh of this scene she is witnessing right now. And the kid get a stick on the ground and pointed it at the wall beside them.
'NO SMOKING ' was written there painted in red big and bold letters.
''NOT ALLOWED'' The kid read the words wrongly to them pointing the stick word by word but obliviously delivered her point more than she knows.
''You're reading that wrong, kid. So, that means you're wrong.'' Mia said trying to piss the kid because of its cuteness mimicking the kids gesture. She was holding herself squeezing the kid in her arms.
''O-f course I know that, I was just testing if you know how to read, IDIOT. '' The kid said covering her shame by insulting Mia. She's only four how can she probably be good at reading.
''You disrespectful kid. What did you just call m-''
''Lily-senpai!!!'' Mia didn't finish scolding the kid for it was now running to Lily's direction who is now coming their way.
Lily leveled herself to the kids height and accepted the kid in her arms and squeeze the kid lovingly.
Marianne laugh not able to hold it anymore and tease Mia about what just happened.
Mia's eyes narrowed and her mouth came flat with cross arms looking over the two brat slightly jealous to the fact that Lily always gets everything effortlessly.
'' Ah, people ? will you please help me inside ? I 'm not a robot if you forgot?'' John came out of the back door looking messy with coffee stains in his uniform and pieces of chocolate cake in his apron.
Everybody laugh at him including Roderick who is now kissing the ground that he obliviously knocked down because he had been sitting on stairs of the back door.
All of them march inside the establishment still laughing and teasing John and Roderick who were now debating over the accident.
Lily sensed a weird feeling that someone was looking at them in this moment . She look at the other side of the road and see nothing but cars parked beside it and a few passerby.
''Senpai?'' The girl ask shaking her hands confused of why she'd stop not going in the door.
''Nothing . Come on let's go in.'' Lily says and smiled facing the kid trying to hide that she's holding herself from shaking.
''What are you doing here ? Gin.'' Ask the good looking British man in his early forties while looking to a certain cafe 10 miles away from his room over a telescope .
Gin ,didn't move on his position on the dimmed side of the wall near the door to prevent other parties seeing him talking with this controversial man.
''Are you here to kill me ?'' He continued not looking on Gin's side. The man is wearing a black mask covering his mouth and black boho in his head as head band making his white hair stand.
He removed the telescope from his eyes after Lily turned and go in the cafe building.
He squeezes his eyes to adjust his vision and when he opened his expressive eyes. You can see the universe like iris he have his blue-gray eyes with a hint of yellow at center part is glowing while looking at the void imagining the scene in his mind a family happy together , living in an Island in the Philippines.
That simple life is incomparable a memory he's holding on to still fight his advocacy.
"How's you're daughter, Gin.?" The man said finally looking at Gin's direction.
Gin, didn't answer the man's question but his breathing shifted.
"Does she already know? Or you still deny the child. " The man continued.
The man smiled hearing Gins heart beat went into different rate. This man has a unique ability a strong hearing ability and sensing things like a radar. He will be hearing you even if you're two blocks away from him. And if you are too close he can hear you're heart beat even the blood that flows through your veins.
That's why he always wear an earphone to moderate the sounds so that he can hearless live in some piece in his daily life so he had trained himself too to lower his senses for it also has inconvenient like trying to have piece is impossible.
He opened his drawer and get his phone he opened an app in it and he turn something on that app and a small piece of wood like thing on the floor illuminated directly to the windows of his room. Now outsiders can only see the recorded video him earlier sitting beside the window the device also enable sound proofing the whole room.
Another one of his invention .
'' A hologram? Seriously? '' Gin , came from a dimmed wall next the closet with a smile.
'' What ? At least they wouldn't see us talking now inside this room.'' The man answered.
''So, you're still into technology , ha.'' Says Gin who is now lying on the man's bed. Look at the ceiling his feet, was one feet over the other while his arms arms are crossed.
'' So why are you here? David.'' Gin, continued on talking while his was eyes closed.
'' Well, you know I got bored playing hide and seek specially when no one was able to find me . I wanna play something else that excites me.'' David answered while still sitting beside the window.
'' I found you.'' Gin , said flatly.
'' You're exempted to my list of seekers.'' David laugh at Gin being blunt as always.
''You are just putting her life at risk , David.'' Said Gin worry is visible in his face.
''I am not forgetting it. I just want to see my child, Gin. Like you are.'' David said assuring Gin.
''Just reminding.'' Said Gin.
''Why are you here , Gin? '' David ask dismissing the topic he knows where this is coming.
''Rest.'' Gin, simply answered and inhaled and exhaled like its a deep sigh. And he turn his back from David. The man curled his body he pillowed his left hand and his right hand hugging his knees.
''I miss her so much, I wanna hug her and tell her everything but I can't. It would be wasting all our sacrifices for this stupid advocacies that is nearly impossible to achieve just to give her the life we never had.'' Gin's voice started cracking saying those words.
David sighed and sat next to Gin in bed he lean his head near Gins face .Touch his face on the left side and let Gin face him. Gin's , eyes is full of longing and sorrows that must have been kept for along time.
David caressed Gin's face down to his neck Gins back arch and moaned from his touch he hold David's neck for support when David pull him up while holding the back of his neck with care in it, their eyes never left each both are longing for each others touch.
Gin's body became weak in David's arms its been a long time he didn't realize he would miss someone this hard.
Their faces were too close now, smelling and feeling each other's deep breath. Both eyes are mirroring the same longing. David was now holding Gin's shoulders using his right hand while his left hand came to Gin's hair caressing and pulling it Gin moaned because of it.
''D-David please.'' He plead not knowing why and what he begged for.
David is looking at Gin's eyes full of love , longing and sorrows and his sight came down to Gin's lips. Gin did the same they both swallow their saliva. The lump on their throats goes down and up. The intensity of their position is getting higher.
''I can't hold it anymore..'' And David pulled Gin's hair with force Gin groaned in pain his face was taken off from his head .And now revealed a very fine brunette woman in early forties , mouth hang open her hair is a mess because of what David just and bits of prosthetics left in it . She was stunning in that state and became more sexy in that look . Her charisma's undeniably strong.
''Mary..'' David smiled full of love in his eyes.
''Ouch.'' Mary uttered as a late reaction to what David just did to her mask it hurts her neck .
''I-I'm so-''
Mary shut him up by pulling his face and kissed him hard he was stunned at first, but kiss her back the same way she did to him. They have taken their clothes off and throw it not minding where those landed. And that night they made love like it was their last.
Meanwhile..
The three ladies, together with a very cute little girl were now eating dinner at their apartment when a knock on the door caught their attention.
They all throw a questioning look to each other .No one knocked at their door for so long because obviously all of them were orphans and had no friends here and if its the old couple they have their own copy of keys.
Marianne got up and walk her way to the door and secretly brought a bread knife on her left hand and hid it in her back . She looked at the peep hole she can see a woman face down while knocking.
And when the woman lifted her face Marianne's eyes went wide it was the woman who came in to their room the other night.
'What is she doing here?' Marianne's head automatically conclude lot of scenario. The woman knock again.
'' Baby , are you in there ? " The woman speaks this time.Marianne's face turned red who is she calling baby?

''Ugh,'' Marianne groaned in pain.
''Oh my gosh!! Baby what did you do?!'' The woman quicky get near to Marianne who's now holding her nose which is bleeding.
The woman get her handkerchief from her pocket and tried to wipe the blood on Marianne's nose only to be pushed aside by Lily who is now on Marianne's side without them noticing .Lily pushed a bundle of table napkin in Marianne's nose with force that made Marianne scream in pain.
''Lily!!!!'' Marianne shouted at her like saying to her of what's her problem ? why she have to do that.
Mia laugh at them and help the woman Lily pushed just now which is now sitting on the floor. While the kid was just looking so confuse.
''What the fuck is your problem?'' The woman ask Lily after Mia help her stand .
''Oops, sorry I didn't see you.'' Lily answered full of sarcasm and act innocent.

''No baby, We were just greeting each other and I am sad your going home now. I really enjoy it being with you . Can we see each other again tomorrow?'' The woman was about to attacked her but Lily quickly hug the kid and kiss her good bye.
The woman looked at her in disbelief and walk out of the place with the kid looking so pissed.

''Bye.'' Lily utter pertaining to the woman teasing her more.
Lily close the door and came face to face with Marianne and Mia throwing her questioning look Mia was crossed arms and Marianne still holding her nose.
