“Why is Ryo with us?” Massu asked while he wedged his head between the two front seats of my car.

Ryo was wearing his shades with a silly grin on his face while Massu gaped at us looking confused.

“We’re going to rent a video.” I replied to his question then snuck a glance at Ryo.

“Do you have it?” 

“Pi… you know I HAVE been ready after that first time we tried doing this.”

“What are we doing?” Massu stared from me to Ryo. Clueless of what we were about to do.

“You’ll know when we get there.” Ryo told him nonchalantly.

After 15 minutes of driving the car, we arrived at a district where most people avoided. I turned the car into a corner and an empty street came into view, most of the shops here were closed.

“Why are we in Asakuza??? Didn’t you guys know a lot of murdered people are dumped here to rot???” Massu whispered in a panic state. 

I have never seen Massu like this before. 

Ryo and I looked at each other and we started bursting out in laughter.

“What?!?” Massu was starting to look really irritated.

“Here. Have some chips kiddo.” I threw Massu a plastic of banana chips, his favorite past time food, “We went here because this is the one those places which is ignored by most crowds, only fanatics know this place and thus the rumor was started to keep people from mobbing the goodies in this street.

Massu still eyed the street and his surroundings suspiciously.

“You have the disguises?” I asked Ryo. Massu quickly turned his gaze to Ryo.

“What disguises?!?” His voice sounded pretty pinched.

“This is the first time you went with Pi, isn’t it?” Ryo peered in closer to Massu, while he just nodded his head at him.

“He decided to crash into my place on a wrong time.” I shrugged at Ryo then took the paper bag he was holding. 

I took the bushy mustache and secured it under my nose and placed the cowboy hat on top of my head. Ryo took the afro hair I have used before and put on those huge grandpa glasses.

Massu’s quietly observed us and by the looks of it, his usual calm state was replaced of one that was in complete distress.

“What the hell are you guys trying to do?!?”

“We’re putting on disguises. The store has security cameras on them, we might be recognized if we just walk in casually.” Ryo told him and he pulled out a baseball cap from the paper bag then placed it on top of Massu’s head. He also gave him a pair of glasses which was attached with a big nose.

“Why do I get to wear this?” He started complaining about his disguise.

“Because that’s all that we have.” Ryo brushed passed him and walked towards the video store.

“Are you guys sidelining as thieves??? Why a video store?!?” 

I smacked Massu on the back of his head before saying, “You got to calm down. Shut up and just follow our lead.”

This seemed to quiet Massu down and so we were able to enter the video store without a fuss.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My heart was feeling queasy from Shun’s confession, making me think momentarily that this was alright. That I have the right to feel like a real girl but something was nagging at the back of mind which I myself couldn’t understand. 

How many men in my past have actually confessed their feelings to me? Saying that they like me and they wanted to spend all of their days with me. There were numerous… if I could remember correctly, though there was a huge difference back then and now. 

Before I was the rich heiress of the Inoue Corporation and now… this is happening to Inoue Mao, the naïve-clueless-bullied-penniless-university girl. 

I was just like everyone else so why am I feeling confused?

“Mao, I didn’t mean to scare you or anything…” Shun started to say.

“Eh?” It was all I could muster to say because I was still too shocked from his confession and nonetheless confused on how to actually react properly to it.

“Your face... it looks like you’re going to cry or something.” Shun said with a worried look as he cupped my face.

When his hand touched my face, it tingled for a miniscule second until someone talked from behind.

“Shun!!! What are you doing to Mao? Scaring her off with your ‘I like you’ lines?” Aoi called out and quickly slapped Shun at his back.

“Eh?!?” I looked at both of them, suddenly bewildered with the possibility that Shun could be actually toying with me.

“I was just kidding,” Aoi said then playfully twirled my hair, “Shun doesn’t just say I LIKE YOU to anyone. Truth is, YOU are the first one I’ve known he has confessed to.” She then patted my shoulder and then Yuuta came out from the back door. He brought with him some drinks and food then started calling on to the others.

“They’re here in the backyard Kame!”

Kame came bounding out of the door with Ohno under his arm. The three of them walked towards us but before they could reach the swing’s location, I heard Aoi whisper loudly as she moved next to Shun, “Sorry to ruin your little party… but I’ll try to follow up later.” Then she ruffled his hair before bounding off to meet Ohno.

This didn’t feel real at all. Everyone was coming in too quickly, Shun confessed then Aoi over heard him then the boys are coming in one by one… am I still supposed to react?

“Mao, please don’t be too bothered about me or Aoi. Ignore her if you may and you don’t have to think too much about what I told you earlier. I mean, you COULD think about it as much as you can if you like, it’s just that I don’t want you to think too much about it if it’s just because of me. I mean, if you’re thinking about me liking you, there’s no need to think about it but if you’re thinking about me that’s well… that would be nice, because that means you’re actually thinking of me.” Then all of a sudden he paused. His face was scrunching up like he wanted to hide or run away.

“Damn! I’m blabbing. This is not me. I’m not a blabber. Sorry.” Shun shook his head and suddenly swooped his face so close to mine I froze up in my sit from surprise.

“I really like you. That’s all I have to say.” Then he gave me a quick peck on the cheek before anyone else could notice and stood up to walk back into the house leaving me awestruck for the second time that day.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were back in my house and Ryo was laughing his ass off while Massu couldn’t believe we did that just for a couple of videos.

“Wipe off that awful grin on your face Yamapi, this isn’t funny at all.” Massu scolded me then flopped down on the couch before continuing his litany.

“Don’t you guys get it? What if someone recognized us?” 

This time, he looked awfully serious that I tried to muffle my laughter, but the grin on my face… I couldn’t help it.

“No one will ever recognize us, especially with the nose you had on Massu. You think you want to be caught dead wearing that?” I pointed at the disguise he was holding in his hand.

Massu quickly threw it at Ryo who was boisterously laughing again. 

“Calm down Massu, we have the goods now don’t we?” Ryo smirked and sat on the floor to put in a DVD inside the player.

I took the pop-corn out of the microwave and got some beer from the fridge.

“Why don’t we sit down, relax and enjoy the movie. Shall we Massu?” I cocked my head to where Ryo was sitting.

Massu slowly stood up from the couch and sat on the floor beside Ryo with a defeated look.

“Fine. This better be good or else I’m out of here.” Massu took the bowl of popcorn from my hand and started munching on it while his eyes were glued on the screen.

“This will be good. We had to labor so much to get it.” I grinned as the screen flicked alive with the opening scenes from the video.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Aoi, it’s getting really late.” I mumbled while my eyes were slowly closing on me.

“You’re tipsy aren’t you?” Aoi said while she held my shoulder, all I could do was nod my head at her. She motioned for someone to come over.

“You have to bring her home. You only had one beer and that was two hours ago. Mao is already spent.” Aoi was talking to Shun.

“She could stay here for the night?” Shun suggested.

“Shun, don’t be an idiot. The best thing you can do for her is bring her home safe and sound. That’s what she wants and stop being too pushy on her. The girl needs some time to think your confession off. Oh… and strictly no taking advantage of her.” I saw Aoi gave Shun a warning look which made me smile.

“Who said I was taking advantage of her???” Shun said with a bewildered look.

“You’ve done it once, doing it twice wouldn’t be a good impression on you.” Aoi glared at him this time, making sure Shun was reminded of the first time we met, how he had put me in big trouble.

“Fine, fine. I wasn’t really taking advantage of her, I needed her help.” He tried to rationalize his actions.

“Still the same!” Aoi argued then pushed him to help me walk to the car and called out from behind, “Now get moving, it’s getting late.”

“You sound like my mother.” Shun shot back at her while he assisted me on my arm.

“I’m alright Shun, you don’t have to help me up. I can ride the bus.” I told him but my footsteps weren’t that straight than I thought.

“Sure you can walk?” He had this coy look on his face as he watched me stagger about.

“Alright, I’ll let you drop me off home. I might get mugged in my state.” I let him hold my arm and told him the address of my place before entering the car.

As soon as I was settled in the front seat, the last thing I could remember was the smell of cherries from the air fresher.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Mao?” Someone shook my shoulder which woke me up instantly.

“Huh? What? Where are we?” I looked around and saw a familiar neighborhood.

“You were sleeping the whole way and I couldn’t bring myself to wake you up so I let you sleep in for a couple of minutes more.” Shun said sheepishly.

I looked at my watch and it read 12:45 am.

It was that late and I realized one thing. I gave Yamapi’s address to Shun.

I wanted to hit my head on the dashboard. This was a huge mistake. 

A VERY HUGE mistake.

“I’ll walk you to the door.” Shun started to get up but I scurried out of the seat belt to stop him from getting out of the car.

“No. NO… you don’t have to. I can do it myself. Thank you. Thank you for all your trouble for bringing me here.” I held his arm so he wouldn’t get up from his seat.

“Mao, you look flustered, are you sure you’re alright?” Shun lifted his hand to touch my face but I made this jerky movement on my head that made him quickly withdraw his hand.

“I’m alright. You really don’t have to walk me home. This is already enough.” I tried to tell him, my head in a state of panic. 

If Pi catches me bringing a stranger in his house, he will kill me or worse he will kick me out of the house.

When Shun looked like he wasn’t about to take my word, I opened my big mouth to say something I knew I would regret.

“About your confession, I can’t stop thinking about it. If you bring me to my door I would feel more awkward than it already is.” I wanted to melt right there and then. 

How could I say these things to Shun when I’m clearly more concerned about my welfare than his feelings. I was half afraid he would see right through me.

“Oh…” Shun exclaimed, “I didn’t mean to impose too much on you Mao. I just wanted to let you know how I felt. That’s all there is to it.” Shun said looking worried.

I might be acting too selfish right now but at least my statement seemed to stop him.

“I know.” I smiled and reached out to squeeze his arm before getting out of the car. 

I walked around to the driver’s side and stood right in front of his car window which he brought down so I could hear what he was about to say.

“I hope you’ll be able to sleep well tonight despite what I did.” Shun said while scratching the back of his head with a sudden shy look.

I gave him another smile, which felt like my face was going to rip apart if he still doesn’t leave. I’m too worried Yamapi might come out of that door any moment and find Shun here!

“I’ll think about what you said Shun. Your confession is the first real one I have ever received.” At least that was honest enough.

I waved my hand to say good bye. 

Shun nodded his head and hit the gas pedal to drive on, living me alone on the gutter.

When I was sure he was out of sight, I was able to breathe a huge sigh of relief and yet hoping against hope that Shun wouldn’t be giving me any surprise visit in the future.

I took the key out of my purse and walked towards the door and then as soon as I opened it I heard some deep moaning sounds accompanied by grunts and squeaking of furniture. Then a started girl whimpering in delight, moaning and was breathing raggedly. 

The house was very dark and my hand was caught mid air for finding the light switch as a sudden realization went through me. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

This… this was the sound of people having sex. 

Did I just walk in on Yamapi having sex???

My eyes went wide when I opened the light of the living room. 

Yamapi, Ryo and Massu looked like they were caught red handed stealing something.

“ARE YOU GUYS WATCHING PORN?!?” My jaw dropped as I gawked at them.

The three of them just looked at each other unable to speak.

------------------To be continued------------------

Notes from the Author:

I needed to have Mao walk in on them like that! That was Yamapi’s ultimate plan. He had to remove Mao’s hot body out of his mind after all, thus replacing other images with it instead. LOL. I hope you had fun reading that. ^_^v

“What’s with that funny look on your face?” Aoi asked while she twiddled with her food.

“Eh? What face?” I was embarrassed to be caught staring at nothing in particular, afraid that Aoi could have read my thoughts.

“I don’t know… you look goofy. Did something happen?”

Sometimes, it sucks to have a friend who is too intuitive.

“Happen? Nothing.” Lying is definitely becoming a bad habit.

“You are such a terrible liar.” Aoi squinted her eyes at me.

Her statement almost made me slip out of my chair because the girl could definitely see right through me.

“Anyways… it’s none of my concern to meddle into your business but if something comes up, you know where to find me.” Aoi winked then blew a kiss towards my direction before she got up from her seat and muttered she’s going to meet Sho. 

I was left alone on the table, letting my mind wonder freely from last night when I realized someone was poking my shoulder.

“Earth to Mao.” Someone sitting beside me called out.

When I turned to my side, Shun was grinning widely at me. I felt a sudden blush creep up to my face.

“You’re spacing out. What’s up?” Shun asked before taking a bite in his cafeteria made Karage.

I stared at Shun and blinked.

“Do men sleep around with women just for the sake of it?” I blurted, the question just came out of nowhere.

Shun choked from my sudden question and quickly grabbed for my water bottle. He struggled to open the cup before he was able to swallow the liquid in big gulps. When he was finally able to breathe more properly he gave me an incredulous look.

“Why are you asking me that kind of question? And with such a serious face too!” Shun replied and took another gulp of water.

“Well… just because.” I answered nonchalantly with a shrug.

He shook his head in bewilderment.

“What about women? Do you think they could just sleep around for the sake of doing it?”

This statement made me think for a second before answering his question.

“I’m not sure because I gather that women are too emotional unless… the woman is a nymphomaniac, then that could be a great possibility.”

My answer made me pause.

Does that mean I’m a nymphomaniac?!? 

This thought made me shake my head involuntarily.

That’s not possible! I would have slept with anyone even if I am at the confines of my own home but I don’t. So why on earth did I do it with Pi? Was it hormones? That would probably be Pi’s reason, him being a testosterone raged kind of guy… wait… is he really?

“You’re spacing out again.” Shun’s voice brought me back to reality.

“Eh?” I tilted my head without thinking.

“Oh… sorry… there was something bothering me. That’s why.”

“Okay…” Shun nodded without asking or digging any deeper into my question.

“Say… Mao, do you have any plans after class?” He inquired.

“No. Why?”

“Can you… ummm…. Do you want to go shopping with me?”

Shun’s request made me look at him like he was some foreigner I couldn’t understand.

I narrowed my eyes and looked closely at Shun.

“What?!?” Shun exclaimed looking defensive.

“Are you gay by any chance?”

This time it was his turn to look at me with like I was the foreigner.

“Are you kidding with me??? Do I look gay to you?!?” Shun exclaimed looking like he went through a mid life crisis.

“One minute you’re blabbering about men sleeping around and then the next you’re asking if I’m gay? What’s up with you?!? I know I have put you in trouble in the beginning of the school year but I didn’t know you can hold such a grudge against me.” Shun pouted, looking completely bewildered.

I quickly bowed my head in apology.

“I didn’t mean to offend you Shun,” then a smile crept on my face as I observed his expression.

“But you asked about shopping and I thought only gay guys have fun doing such things.”

“What gave you that idea?” Shun scowled like a wounded kid.

“Nothing in particular… it’s just that I don’t like shopping.”

“Eh?!?” This time, Shun looked flabbergasted at this simple piece of information.

“I thought women loved shopping?”

“Not me.” I shrugged my shoulders then paused to gaze at him.

“What now?” Shun backed away from me, with a suspicious look painted on his face.

“You look really cute when you blush like that.” I told Shun then patted his cheek adoringly. Shun’s eyes went wide as I laughed on his ordeal.

“Inoue Mao… you are messing me up today.” Shun grumbled while I shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I still ended up shopping with Shun.

“What are you looking for again?” I asked while looking at the displays, but I often get distracted whenever my eyes stray towards Shun.

It’s quite interesting to see a man haggling for things in the mall.

“I really need your opinion. Which looks better, the pink one or the orange one?” Shun raised both bags for me to see.

“You really picked the wrong shopping partner for this…” I whined at him instead of choosing.

“Humor me Mao. Please. It’s my sister’s birthday and I need to give her something.”

“You have a sister?” My brows arched at him.

“Yes! So can you please pick one? My arms are getting tired.”

“How old?” I asked before picking.

“12.”

“Does she like dolls and fairies?”

“Yes.”

“Alright, take the pink one. Kids who like dolls and fairies are into pink stuff.”

The thought of Shun buying stuff for her sister made me smile. I never thought that Shun was the thoughtful type of person.

“How did you know which color to pick?”

“It’s just something I learned from long ago.” I shrugged and then looked at him with a huge smile.

“Now that I think of it, it’s so sweet of you to buy your sister something for her birthday. It’s sweet… and cute.” 

“Not again with the cute word! Do I look like 7 to you?” Shun complained.

“No. You look too tall to be seven.” I stuck my tongue out to him.

This made him shake his head and walk towards the counter to pay for the item. When he was finally done, I told him I was going home.

“Wait.” Shun grabbed my arm.

“You’re coming with me.” He said while pulling me to the other direction.

“Where?” I demanded.

“To my house for my sister’s birthday!” 

“Why?” I frowned and Shun sighed exasperatedly.

“Because you helped me pick out a gift for my sister, you deserve to be fed.”

The “fed” word made my ears perk up. If I’m going to be fed, it means I have an excuse not to come home and cook… it also means this would delay meeting up with Pi.

“Hold on a second.” I told Shun as I raised up my index signaling to tell him to wait.

I scurried away from Shun and dialed Pi’s number.

One, two, three rings and there was still no answer until it reached his voice mail. I pressed the off button and started to send a text message instead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I got home that afternoon the house was empty. I checked out the rooms, there was no sign of the stray cat. As I paced in the living room, I’m not sure whether I should be relieved or not.

“Tomohisa, are you by any chance disappointed that she’s not here?”

I talked to myself out loud when I heard someone chuckle behind my back.

The sound made me turn around immediately, scared to death that Mao could have heard me say that and at the same time excited to know that she was there but to add to my disappointment, it was only Massu chuckling by the doorway carrying a box of apples. 

“You’re getting stranger by the day Pi. Not getting enough off Keiko?” He started wriggling his eyebrows in a very annoying manner.

“What do you mean by I am not getting enough of her? You my friend Massu are mistaken. SHE is not getting enough of me if that’s what you really mean.” I pointed my index finger at him and walked towards the door where he was standing.

“The apples smell good by the way.” I told Massu as I took an apple from the box.

“I’m glad you noticed. They are heavy too.” He chided while I grunt from taking the box from him.

“You could have just brought it on the table. You didn’t have to let me take it from you.” I grumbled as I carried the box at the kitchen counter, while Massu plopped down on the couch.

“The house owner is supposed to receive things, right?” He grinned at me.

Since when did this guy become cocky as Ryo?

“I bet if it was Mao, you would have carried it in yourself.” I told him before taking another bite from the apple.

“Ah… that’s beside the point. I presume she’s not here?”

“You’re right. She’s not here and I don’t know where she went. The stray cat didn’t even have the decency to tell me where she’s going after…” I caught myself before I unintentionally tell Massu what has happened between us.

Massu was already staring at me expectantly, I had to say something!

“…after she almost killed me with her curry last night! I thought I would die young because of it.” I even choked my neck for emphasis.

Massu shrugged indifferently to what I just said, he knew Mao wasn’t the best cook in the world.

“What are the apples for?” I asked to be able to change the subject but instead of answering me, Massu said something which made me jerk towards my room.

“Did you check your phone yet? I believe your stray cat always keeps you in tab.” This made me remember that my phone has been dead the whole day. I actually forgot to charge it up the night before due that "incident" with her.

I took my phone and plugged it in to be able to open it.

“By the way the apples are for Mao. We’re going to make some apple pie tomorrow. I just thought of dropping them today.” Massu called out to me from the living room.

I was barely listening to him when I started to receive some messages.

10:00 am, Keiko: 
-Does lunch sound good to you? There’s this new restaurant called Mogwai in front of the agency. Call me. ^o^

I shuddered as I read the message, it was a good thing my phone was dead for the day. I received several voice mails coming from her but chose to ignore them. I continued to scan my inbox and finally saw the name I was looking for.

2:15 pm, Stray-cat:
-I’m going to a birthday party for a friend’s sister. There is still some left over curry at the fridge. You can heat it up.-

Birthday party? What friend? Who is her friend?

I didn’t know she had friends.

In between thoughts I heard this chewing sound behind my back. 

Feeling Massu’s presence hovering from behind, I quickly turned around and shoved my phone on the table.

“Stop doing that. It’s not ethical reading other people’s messages and entering their room.”

Then I noticed what he was eating.

“Pi, the curry isn’t bad. How could Mao kill you with this? I’d say it’s an 8/10, she’s getting really good with her cooking. Besides, her cooking isn’t that bad to make you drop dead.”

Having to face Massu like this, I sighed in frustration and took the plate from him and started eating. The curry wasn’t really bad at all, but it would have tasted better if the cook was here to share the left over with.

What is wrong with me? Why do I want to see her like it matters so much?

I just chewed the food while Massu tried poking into the plate with his spoon for more curry.

Notes from the Author:

I apologize for the long delay!!! You all know how real life can get. Though I had my laptop, now I have no time to update. Lolz… things just keep on piling up one way or another ne? Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter though there wasn’t much interaction between Mao and Pi. 

Reviews will be highly appreciated.

It’s been three uneventful days since Pi and I came home from a weekend photo shoot at Ryo’s lodge.

Ever since I’ve learned about Reiko, there was this sense of uneasiness that’s been hovering between the two of us. Maybe it’s just me but even so, everything is so awkward in the house. Pi also has been coming home late in the evening. The nagger side of him was completely gone. Aside from that, he doesn’t ask for me to do house hold chores anymore or to even cook. It was very unlikely of him to come in and out of the house without annoying me with small household details.

This sudden change in attitude was freaking me out.

“You’re leaving?” I looked at the clock and it read 11:08 PM.

Pi stopped by the door to get his shoes.

“You should mind your own business.” He snapped which caught me off guard.

I stood rigid behind the kitchen counter and stared at the untouched curry by the sink, shocked from his response. I willed myself not cry from such a hostile treatment. We were only HOUSEMATES. I wasn’t even supposed to ask, I was only supposed to be there. Just be there and nothing else.

Then I heard a deep exasperated sigh, when I moved my head to look up, Pi had this certain look on his face looking like he aged for the past three days.

“I’m off for a date. Don’t wait up and lock the doors properly.” With that remark, Pi left without saying goodnight.

He has been acting weird and it was a very unsettling attitude.

I grudgingly went to bed after I finished cleaning up the untouched curry and tried to get some sleep while keeping my ears alert for any movement or slight noise from the living room. Hours have already passed by and yet I still couldn’t get some sleep.

“Aaaarghhh!!!” I scrambled out of bed and ran towards the living room then opened the radio to jump around with.

I was far too restless to be calm and get some proper sleep.

I took the cushions off the sofa and started throwing them around then I began picking them up just to throw them around once again. I repeated this ridiculous cycle for a couple more minutes until I felt someone staring behind me.

The hairs on my neck began to stand up as goose bumps formed on my arms. It was an eerie feeling that I turned around ever so slowly to see who or what exactly was looking from behind.

As soon as our eyes met I let out a loud shriek as I fell onto the couch along with the person who was staring so closely at me.

“Pi!!!” I gushed out breathlessly in a cry of relief when I finally realized who it was.

The wig he was sporting was too much for me to comprehend that it was him and not some random stranger who was going to rob the house or worse… do something bad to me.

Both of us were sprawled on the couch. I was pinned underneath him that I couldn’t move at all.

“Pi, you’re heavy.” I whispered as I squirmed beneath him.

“Why are you whispering?” He asked in a low tone.”

“I’m not whispering.” I denied, my voice getting raspy all of a sudden.

The truth was I couldn’t speak normally. Pi’s own smell mixed with other scents which undeniably came from other women caught me off guard. Yet this knowledge didn’t stop me from feeling hot all over. This closeness was beyond my ability on controlling my hormones. In fact, they were running like haywire! Pi was a sexy-hot-gorgeous-looking idol after all, well as long as his mouth is shut. It's not hard to figure out that I wouldn't be immune to such attraction even though I should be used to it by now.

“You were acting like a mad-stricken-woman.” He whispered huskily through my left ear, sending delightful shivers through my spine.

“I was.” I answered hoarsely as I tried to get him off me but he wouldn’t budge.

“You were dancing and jumping around.”

I stopped fidgeting, my head turned towards his face to look directly in his eyes but he wasn’t looking at me. His eyes were closed as he continued to pin me on the sofa.

“Since when have you been watching?” I asked, not removing my eyes on him.

“Since you screamed inside your room up to the time you shrieked and brought me down with you.” There was a tinge of humor in his voice.

He was making a fool out of me.

I started to wriggle away from him suddenly forgetting the heat he was causing out of me but he clutched my shoulders and said, “Stop. Don’t move.”

Pi shifted a little so that we were both facing each other in a side-lying position on the couch, then he reached out for my waist and grabbed me closer to him. My breath was immediately caught up in my throat as heat washed all over my body.

Suddenly, I couldn’t speak or think.

All I could do was to feel Pi’s touch as he held me tightly and snuggled his head on the hollow of my neck. His warmth was too comforting that I had to let him be for both our sake.

“Pi?” I probed softly.

“Hmmm…?”

“I’m not sure I could contain myself if you don’t stop what you’re doing.” I whispered huskily.

Then I realized what I just said.

I wanted to smack my head for being too forward! Isn’t this supposed to be the other way around? Men are the ones who were supposed to say something like this.

I heard a small chuckling sound, coming from Pi.

“What?” I asked trying to sound bewildered where in fact I knew exactly why he was laughing.

Pi suddenly moved swiftly and pinned me on my back. We were back on the same position that we were at earlier. Except this time, he was gazing seriously at me.

“I’m supposed to say that.” There was a huge grin on his face before he continued, "Besides I often hear that from other women... oddly, when it came from you, it doesn't sound malicious at all."

I was about to say something contraindicating his statement when his mouth locked on my lips all off a sudden, making me forget completely whatever I was about to say. Those same delicious lips traveled to the base of my neck and lower. Heat was pulsating on my veins as his mouth cascaded from my neck towards the swell of my chest, leaving trails of wet kisses along the way.

Then he stopped abruptly.

Inwardly I groaned in dismay and I am sure it was showing on my face.

Pi’s eyes were heavy with desire but his lips were smiling, then he whispered something that made me double over with hunger and lust.

“Only for tonight… let’s both forget I’m an idol and you’re an ordinary poor college girl leaving under my roof. Tonight let’s both think I’m just a man and you’re a woman.”

With this, Pi didn’t even give me time to respond, for he swooped in to capture my lips yet again. Letting his hands graze all over my body and I let myself be carried away. I allowed him to strip off my clothes one by one, turn me over from inside out and lick my skin to his contentment. I burned with passion every time his mouth comes in contact with my skin.

This night belonged to us.

Two characters acting against their given roles… and the audience?

The couch.

Notes from the Author:
I can’t type something smut in detail. I tried, I really did… it just doesn’t seem right for me!!! Sorry for making their first time this way. ^_^v I still hope I made you smile anyhow.

Do tell me what you think about it. hehehe…
