Chapter 1
Chapter 2: Nino's POV
If you want to be respected, you have to be feared.
My father brought me up telling me that, and that’s all I know. That’s how it has always been. I feared and respected my father, and he never said anything about it being a good or bad thing, but somehow it seemed to me like he enjoyed me fearing him and was mocking me for it. So I tried not to show him, I hid my fear deep inside of me… Though it still didn’t affect him.
I wanted to be like him. I wanted to be respected and feared, just like my father. Not because it made him look like an amazing bastard, but because he seemed invincible. I wanted to be invincible.
I take a deep puff of my cigarette, watching carefully the scene in front of me. A woman enters by the door just beside me in a hurry, and when she notices me, she stops for a sec, re-arranges her hair, then keep walking calmly… As if I didn’t saw you…
Just there, a few meters away, the photographer (what’s his name again ? Aiba ? Something like that, Sho is friend with him...) is taking photos of Jun and there, just beside him, there is this new designer that Ueno hired last week.
Somehow, I don’t know how he’s doing this, but he does it and it pisses me off so hard. What is it? I don’t know… There’s something about him I don’t catch, but he doesn’t seem to fear me… Maybe I should go harder on him, for him to learn what fear means. I smile, imagining everything I could do to make him fear me. I’ve already done it before, sometimes I went a bit too far, but it worked, so…
He’s there, a paper in his hands, nodding at Aiba’s commands to Jun without saying anything. He has a quite beautiful ass, from where I am… I didn’t notice it before.
Jun seems to catch sight of me and make a playful smile toward me. The woman that just entered gives something to that guy I can’t bear and he glances at me while taking it, then look back at Jun without doing anything much. As if I wasn’t interesting enough… Gggh, who does he think he is ?!
I want to try something.
I suddenly throw my cigarette in the ashtray and walk closer to them. Jun watches me coming while posing, but his expression doesn’t change and well… I know him enough anyway… More of his ass, maybe…
“Try sitting down, it should be good” I say when I stop just behind that fucking chubby cheeked guy.
Jun raises an eyebrow, glancing toward Aiba and the other, but the guy doesn’t even look up… He seems deep in thoughts. The other staff members all stop everything they were doing.
“Oh-chan ?” Aiba asks, and I frown at him, but it’s good that they’re waiting for him to agree because either way, he would have to do what I say.
The guy looks up, glances at me, then Jun, then…
“Yes, yes, go on…” he says, as if it was nothing. As if he didn’t care. As if he didn’t even hear what I said. What the hell ??
Am I boring to you or something ? He’s reading the document the woman just gave him, as if I wasn’t even here.
Fuck, I hate him.
“Why ?” Sho asks, his mouth full of meat.
“I have my reasons…”
We’re both eating in this delicious yakiniku restaurant I like. The both of us often go out drinking or eating because Sho is maybe the only friend I still have… The others all distanced themselves from me when my father asked me to be responsible of parts of his business.
“Which are~~ ?”
“I won’t tell you !” I protest. “But you seem to know him…”
“I do…”
“So~ ?”
Sho sighs. He obviously is reluctant to tell me what he knows of this Ohno guy.
“We… We were in a relationship ‘til two years ago” he mutters, making me raise an eyebrow.
Seriously ?! I didn’t even know Sho ever had a boyfriend or girlfriend ! He’s the failing type in the matter.
“How strange is he for accepting to date you ?”
Sho stares at me with the don’t-fuck-with-me look… The one that has no effects on me, but that he still uses.
“How long have you been together ?” I ask then.
“Five years…”
I almost choke. “Five years !! And I never knew about it !”
He shrugs, taking a piece of meat with his chopsticks. “And it was better this way, since you seem to hate him now…”
“He left you, I guess… Why did he left you ?” I ask while eating.
“I left him.”
I have to say I had a hard time swallowing, seriously. How many things will I discover in one night ?! First, Sho has already been with someone, second, I hope if they stayed together five years, it means Sho already had sex with someone (which I never thought possible) and third ! He is the on who left the guy !? Impossible !
“Why ?”
“Well, I really loved Satoshi. To me he was the only one I could ever love but… I realised I was in love with someone else as well. I loved them both, in a really different way, but I knew if I stayed with Satoshi, it would make him miserable, so I broke up.”
Oh…
I’m impressed.
I raise an eyebrow, tilting my head to the side.
“That’s what’s boring about you” I say, looking at him in the eyes. “You’re too honest.”
“Thank you” he just says, getting back to his food.
“And who was it ? The other one ? Don’t tell me it’s me !” Though I know it, already…
“Of course it’s not you !” he snaps back immediately. I didn’t expect anything else from him, so I smirk.
“Good…”
There’s a short silence during which we both just eat. It’s really delicious. In those times, I bless my father for being a rich bastard so I can eat yakiniku.
“Was he good in bed ?” I ask suddenly.
Sho stares at me for a minute, surprised and reproachful, but in the end he answers.
“You can’t imagine…”
“Oh, I think I can. With an amazing ass like his, I guess you had a really good time fucking him…”
Sho grimaces. He always does when I talk like this.
“I thought you hated him.”
“I do, but it doesn’t prevent me from saying he has an amazing ass, does it ?”
Sho shrugs again. “I guess no…”
“So you did have a good time !”
He looks up, a bit worked up. “Can we stop talking about my sex life ?!”
I smirk, then eat, then frown. “I didn’t even think it was possible for you to have one, so let me ask questions, I’m curious !”
“Yeah… Well, I’m not asking about yours.”
“You can.”
“I don’t want to know !”
I sigh. Poor Sho… I like teasing him, but sometimes even teasing him is boring. So, Mr Ohno likes boring guys, doesn’t he ? At least it’s comforting to know that he won’t like me.
I usually like parties, really, I do. Parties with friends or people you don’t know, where you can drink as much as you want, meet people, boys, girls, have one-night stands. That kind of parties.
This party though… I don’t like it at all. I know those people, and they’re not friends… They’re my employees. Do you usually have parties with your employees and colleagues ? I don’t.
It’s actually more of a cocktail, but it still sucks. And I have to be here, watching them eat like a baby-sitter, shaking hands and smile.
From the corner of my eyes, I see Sho talking to Aiba, Jun and this guy I hate, Ohno Satoshi. They’re laughing at something Aiba said, and I see him smile for the first time. When he laughs, his eyes become two lines on his face, I wonder how he can see through. It’s cute, somehow. And the fact that I just thought he was cute pisses me off.
Watching them is the only entertaining thing there is to do. Aiba talks a lot… I even once thought about gaging him, I remember. He’s too cheerful for me, it gets on my nerves. Jun… Well Jun is being Jun, after all. Our handsome model, I’m quite pride of him. And he’s good in bed ! Then Sho, who is too honest to be amusing and too smart for his own good, according to my father. He really doesn’t know Sho like I do to say that.
Then the chubby cheeked guy. He doesn’t seem to talk much. Somehow, even though he pisses me off, I want to join them. I can’t because I have my duties, and I won’t lower myself to this, but still… It looks fun.
Later in the evening, I meet Ohno. Finally relieved from my smiling duty, I walk closer to the bar and take a drink. Just when I’m about to take my glass, I feel someone bump into me.
I frown, ready to react if I have to when I realise who it is. And I also realise that I’m feeling something cold on my chest. No… He really…
“Oh, I’m sorry !” he says hurriedly.
You’d better be.
I look down at my shirt and see a red stain there, and I can’t help but open my mouth in disbelief. Before I can say anything, though, Sho arrives in a hurry.
“Satoshi-kun, what did you do ?!”
Ohno just look at him, he seems a bit… Not afraid but worried. That’s the least…
“I just…”
He looks at me, then back at Sho. My friend quickly grabs a napkin and hand it toward me. I take it and try to wipe my shirt, but what’s done is done.
“You should apologize” I hear Sho whispering in Ohno’s ear.
“I did it, already !” the other protests.
“You little piece of…” I say to myself, then realise they’re looking at me. “How am I supposed to run this party with a stained shirt ?!”
Sho seems really embarrassed, and he’d better be, but Ohno’s face is just blank.
“No, right, don’t answer. Just looking at you makes me want to hit you !” I say, a bit too straight-forwardly, maybe, but it doesn’t seem to affect him.
He just stares at me blankly. If only I could strangle him right now !
So I turn round and walk away. If I stay, it’ll turn really bad ! We’re not done here ! I swear ! Fuck !
Though it’s not the last time I see him tonight. About thirty minutes later, I’m still in the toilets, trying to figure out something, either hide the stain or put some water on it but nothing works… I’m just going to go home, I tell you, and let them all go to hell !
When I’m getting ready to leave, though, he comes in. Was it on purpose ? Does he want to make fun of me ? I don’t know, but he doesn’t even raise an eyebrow when he sees me. He just goes to the washbowl to wash his hands. I try to avoid looking at him, but I just can’t. If only I could…
There’s an heavy silence between us until his hands are dry, then he turns his eyes toward me and I finally look at him coldly but he doesn’t seem to shiver. Then he smiles.
Did he really smiled ?! What the fuck !
I can’t hold back anymore, and I suddenly get closer to him, take his wrist and shove him hard against the closed door.
“Just who the hell do you think you are ?!” I yell, holding his two wrists a bit too hard, maybe, but do I care ? “If you want to prove you’re not afraid of me, then you’d better be ! You just piss me off all the time ! If you keep talking to me so disrespectfully, I’m gonna hit you so hard !”
I said it so quickly it takes time for me to get my breath back. Then I look up at his face and see something I never expected to see. He’s looking back at me and… He looks… Scared. So scared. Just like a child… I can read it in his eyes. I slightly back away from him and somehow it feels amazing. Seeing his scared face, I just want to laugh my ass off. His chin is shaking, which is even more delightful.
Then I look down. Maybe it’s just a game in the end. If making him loose his composure makes me feel so good, then I’m going to do it a lot more.
I walk away from him, he’s petrified. I don’t know what scared him so much about me this time, but it worked, and I smirk in his direction. He looks away.
I push him against the wall, open the door and walk out.
Okay.
First stage: His lips.
