Chapter 14
Jun closed the car's door behind him and sank in his chair beside Nino.
"It didn't take long. Did he kick you out? What happened?" The shorter guy asked without taking his eyes off the game, quickly pressing the buttons.
"Nothing happened. He wasn't there."
"He is there. There is his car!" Nino stopped pushing the buttons and pointed straight.
"He wasn't there. I'm sure that he would answer the door and my calls otherwise!" His heart
was heavy. He missed Aiba's touch. He wanted to talk to him, to hug him and to feel secure.
Something was wrong. Jun dialed again.
"Still no answer?" Kazunari turned the game off and looked at him.
"No…" Jun leaned forward to the driver."Please turn the car, I want to go back!"
"Your flight, Matsumoto-san." The driver looked at him through the mirror, "You have to be at
Narita Airport at least two hours before the flight. Sorry. These are Kitagawa san's orders."
"Damn it!" Jun leaned back, closing his eyes. "I have a bad feeling. Something happened… I
don't know what… I need to talk to him!" He took his phone and dialed again.
Nino's hand reached to hug his shoulders. "Stop it, Jun. I will go to see Masaki after sending
you off. Don't you do something stupid, do you hear me?! I mean it!"
His phone vibrated. Jun grabbed it and looked on the screen. "Can you answer him? I am
sleeping".
Nino took the phone: "Yes. It's Ninomiya. Yes… here… he is sleeping now. Yes. In a bad mood.
What?!! Really…". Nino glanced at Jun from the corner of his eye.
"What?!!" Jun sizzled, trying to keep his voice quiet.
Nino's sent him his most threatening glance. "Ok… I will tell him that. Thank you for updating."
"Don't you ever tell me to answer your calls, if you are planning to ruin it!" He muttered.
"Sorry… what did he say?"
"Your manager just solved the mystery." The brat smirked. "You are so not going to like it."
He patted Matsumoto's black curls and whistled.
"Stop it! What is it about?!" Jun lost his patience.
"You opened the news this morning. Entering your girlfriend's elevator… Why? What did I
do!??!"
“Ex-girlfriend!” Jun smacked Nino on his head and turned to the driver, "Please go back! I'll
reschedule the flight for tomorrow! Hey! I told you to go back!"
"Sorry, please continue", Ninomiya pinned Jun back to the seat. "You have to calm down. If,
and I mean if he already saw this, you will only make it worse. Go! I will talk to him. Trust
me. Leave it to me. I can handle any situation like a pro."
"That's what I'm afraid of… leaving it to you…" Jun's head spun. He had to close his eyes to
get rid of the nausea. He knew that he had no choice but to obey.
*****
The door closed behind two men, leaving the rain outside. The smaller one folded the umbrella
and placed it in the bucket.
"Can I help you Sir?" A man approached them.
"We have a reservation for two" The shorter replied, "Ninomiya".
"Yes, Ninomiya-san, please come with me". They followed him to the back table.
The restaurant was almost empty and the foreign customers didn't pay attention to three men
making their way to the back table hidden behind a column.
"Please, this is your table, you wanted some privacy. No one will bother you here." The man said with a foreign accent. "Please press the bell when you'll ready to order. I will send someone to you."
"What is this place?" The taller man looked around trying to adjust to the strange decorations
and the soft carpets. "Is this some kind of European restaurant?"
"This is the most silent place I could find." Nino replied. "Remember Yamapi's Anan session?"
The tall guy nodded.
"Well… the foreign girl took us here after the shooting."
"Was she Russian?" His friend asked, trying to figure where they were.
"Nope! Polish!" Smirking Nino Kazunari pressed the bell. "Let's order."
A foreign man appeared and placed two glasses of water in front of them, ready to take their
orders .
"Give us some appetizers first… hmmmm…" Nino looked like he knew what he was doing. He held
the English menu, slowly reading it.
"Bring us this… Sorry… I can't read it…"
"These are Pierogi, dumplings. Anything else, Sir?"
"Yes. I think we'll go for this one." Ninomiya pointed on something. "And this one…. Mmmmm….
and that dish with cabbage and meat I liked before..."
"Something to drink?"
"What do you have?" The taller took the menu.
"Vodka, wine, beer…"
"Let's have vodka!" The shorter guy's lips stretched in a big smile, showing his teeth. Aiba
just nodded.
"Alright. Immediately!" and the man disappeared in the kitchen.
The tall man relaxed on the sofa and stretched his legs.
"So, why are we here, Nino-kun?" He tried to look around the column into the restaurant.
"To talk. I took Jun to the airport today."
Aiba's eyes widened. "To the airport? Why?"
"Johnny san’s instructions. He saw his and Koyuki's old photos in a tabloid two days ago and
freaked out. He told him to break up with her and to take a vacation."
Masaki swallowed, speechless.
"And…?" He managed to squeeze.
"He broke up with her… yesterday night. He intended to do it anyway. He couldn’t reach her
till late at night and then he wanted to talk to you, but couldn't reach you. His flight was
booked already and he had to leave at noon. Johnny's orders."
"So… when I… I saw… he was…"
"Ahaa…" Nino drank water from his glass.
"Excuse me…" A soft voice behind made them to turn their heads to the waitress, who placed
appetizers in front of them. Herring with chopped onions, salmon with sour cream, eggs with
mayonnaise, dumplings with white cheese and potato.
"Thank you" Masaki rushed to help the girl with the plates and soon the table was full.
She brought them bread and a bottle of vodka and left.
"Cute girl… I like her violet hair and green eyes…" Masaki's gaze followed her, when she made
her way to other tables.
"Baka!" Nino giggled… "His lover just left and he already looking at girls…"
"What are you talking about?" Masaki's heart pounded crazily, examining his friend's face.
"I can't play with you, you naive man! He told me all about it, when he almost cried on our
way to the airport." Nino poured them a glass of vodka. "Kanpai!"
They drank it in one go. Masaki opened his mouth. "Water!".
"Here, Aiba-san." The waitress was standing beside the table, offering him a glass of water.
"Thank you…" He drank it, calming the fire in his throat."Thank you…" He smiled to her, "Do
you know me?"
"Yes" she replied. "You are Aiba-san, I know you."
"Thank you…" He expected her to say her name, but she just bowed and turned to the other
customers.
"Oi! Are you here?"…
"Yes Nino, I am a little confused. This girl has green eyes… and she can read my mind …"
"Yes, and I am the emperor of Japan! Stop it! Jun left and I can't lie to you. He almost
jumped from the car and run to your place, begging you to forgive him. And you know how
obedient he is."
“Nino… stop it. I don't know… I need to think a little."
"Think as long as you like. You can't run from your fate. Let's eat… All this is too deep for
me. He is in Hawaii…"
“Hawaii?!”
They almost finished everything on the table, when the waitress returned, taking the plates
away and bringing the main dish.
"What is this?" Masaki asked.
"It's good, I already…"
"I asked her!" Aiba stopped him.
Nino closed his mouth and looked at the waitress… she wasn't his regular type… well… Satoshi
was his type… but he could appreciate a cute Japanese girl. But, apparently, Masaki liked her
a lot.
"Bigos. It's made with cabbage, pork, wine and mushrooms. It's boiled for at least 3 days…"
"Thank you…" Masaki looked in her eyes, questioning.
"Natalia…" she said.
"Can I call you Natasha?" the tall man asked. "I like your name."
"Tell me…" Nino interfered, "Natasha…"
"Yes?" The dark violet head turned to face him.
"Can you give our drunk friend here a love advise?" Kazunari pointed at Masaki. "Should he
chase after the love of his life to the other side of the world, or should he stay here
thinking about it, feeling miserable?"
She looked at Aiba.
"Aiba-san, I think that it's a gift to find a person you love and who loves you back. You
should feel so lucky. Go and be with that person, make that person happy."
*****
It was already after midnight, when they left the restaurant.
"Great place" Masaki said. "Thank you, Natasha… Can I hug you?"
She hesitated… when he pulled her in a warm hug.
"I'll never forget your advise… Thank you." He whispered in her hair.
Ninomiya opened the car and turned to Masaki.
"Wait a second… I forgot something." He turned around on his heels and run back.
"Natasha…" he said breathless at the door.
"Yes, Ninomiya -san?"
"Take this…" He placed an envelope in her hand.
"There is no need for that… the tip is included in the…" she tried to reject the money.
"It's not the tip…" he looked at her and scratched his forehead, like trying to get rid of the
gathering wrinkles.
"It's just … I feel that I know you somehow… and I owe you this. Please take it before I
regret. Thank you!" He bowed and run away to his car.
Just before the car turned around the corner, Masaki looked back at the restaurant for the
last time, but surprisingly it wasn't there… or maybe he was too drunk already.
*****
The rain continued falling for the fifth day. He couldn't go out. His days were boring. He
stayed here three weeks already and was meeting people from the industry according to Johnny’s
instructions, giving some interviews… but mostly he stayed in his room, playing cards and Go
with his manager and the staff.
He couldn’t reach Masaki on the phone, but he had his daily conversations with Riida and Nino.
Sho called him twice, telling him about his new relationship and how great Okada is.
Nino told him that Masaki wasn't mad anymore, he just needed time for himself and Jun accepted
it. He was too selfish and hurt Masaki too much. He'll just wait for Johnny's forgiveness and
then he'll try to win Aiba chan’s love again.
And on the sixth day, when the rain stopped, the sun was shining again and the air was clean,
a loud knock on the door interrupted his reading.
"Come in!" He expected his manager to enter the room, but was surprised seeing Nino instead.
"Hey! Ugly! What are you reading?" The brat was too energetic.
"Nino! What are you doing here?" Jun was happy to see him.
"Johnny told me to bring you back. What do you have in the mini bar?" Nino rushed to open the
door. "I am so thirsty. Where is your swimming suit? Let's go to the beach."
"What beach? Now?"
"You are in Hawaii, man! You look like a whipped cream, so unattractive! You should be more
tanned! Like Satoshi!"
*****
Jun rose from the sea, shaking his head. The tiny drops falling around, his wide shoulders
shined under the sun and a gentle breeze dried his salty skin. Nino spread a blanket under a
huge palm tree on the grass and opened the picnic basket.
"Shit! I forgot the beer… wait! I'll be back in five minutes."
Jun tried to stop him, saying that juice will be fine, but Nino just waved his hand like he
was an annoying mosquito and disappeared in their car direction.
The warm blanket was so gentle against his cool skin and the breeze calmed him, Jun fell
asleep in seconds.
He was dreaming of Aiba's brown deep dark eyes, so long ago in Hawaii, when they were kids.
The dream was so real, he saw Masaki's full lips, close, inviting… Jun wanted to kiss him so
desperately in his dream, but was pushed away.
"I don't want you anymore! You don't love me! You never loved me! Go!"
Jun opened his eyes. The sun was already high above.
Nino! Where is that brat? Jun turned to the other side … meeting a brown pair of eyes. They
were looking at him, sparkling.
He froze, sinking in them… feeling the warmth spreading in his whole body. Jun was afraid to
blink, he was afraid to wake up and find out this was a dream. Slowly, he reached his hand and
touched the other's cheek with one finger. Gently sliding it down his jaw, he touched the high
cheekbone, the full lip.
"Is this you? For real?" He heard his own voice.
Jun didn't wait for an answer, he just drew the other man closer and melted on his lips, like
trying to become a part of them. The touch was soft and warm. One pair of lips meeting the
other, gently touching, testing, teasing, fluttering like butterfly's wings. Slowly becoming
more demanding and passionate, till they had to part for some air.
"I love you Masaki… I always loved you… I just needed you to wake me up…"
"You are too romantic... I just want your body and that gorgeous ass" Aiba's hand covered his
butt cheek and pulled closer. "That's all I wish for." He giggled.
Jun just stuck his both hands in taller man's hair and shut his mouth with a kiss.
"Then let's go to my room and do the "magic" thing again…" he whispered.
*****
Nino watched them from the hill, holding the phone in his hand.
"Yes Johnny san! I will bring him back. Don't worry, he won't be dating women from now… Yes!
Understood! Thank you for accepting my suggestion! I will bring them both. Yes… no paparazzi.
Good bye, Johnny san!"
He hung up and dialed again: "Hi sweety! Mission accomplished! I'll bring them both back soon…
yes, yes, I know! I AM a pro!"
