Is There Hope? Chapter 49
This chapter is long; two chapters long really,
but I couldn't find a good spot to stop it to
make it two since it jumps around a lot ^^;
Enjoy~
Chicca: It wasn't a problem. :)
I told you I'd do anything for you.
What's the deal with this little one?
She looks like she'll start wailing at
any second...
Orie: She's upset because the little
baby isn't here anymore...it's really
the only one she ever talked to..
Chicca: That's odd...so she doesn't
play with your other children?
Orie: Nope. Not unless I force her to,
and I usually don't..but she used to just
sit and play and talk to the little baby..
Ushio: baby ;.;
~~Elsewhere~~
Haruka: You two will behave while I'm gone
and not wreck the house, right?
Lyn: Oh, of course :) It IS my sister's house,
so I'm on patrol, you know XD
Haruka: I trust you Lynmae, but not Hellena..
Hellena: I bet she's going to go screw that
guy XD What do you think..? Eh..??
Haruka: -_-; Well, I'm going now..
~~~
Ryik: Well, this is the cafe I was talking
about, what do you think? Have you really
not been here before?
Haruka: Really, I haven't been here.. I
always thought cafe's were dark and gloomy...
but this one's really bright..
Ryik: XD Heh~~ Yeah, I like this one much more
than the others I've been to.
Ryik: Shall I get you something?
Haruka: um..uh...no..^///^;
Ruka: Great...loiterers..-_-;
Why is Maki so nice..
Haruka: Actually..I..I wanted to..to ask you..
Ryik: ..? Yes?
Haruka: ^///^; Do you really..like seeing..me?
Are you..are you sure I'm not boring??
Ryik: ^_^ I like seeing you, a lot really.
You're really cute, and I have actually gotten
quite interested in what you do..there are so
many things I had no idea about before..
Ryik: So...I'd like to keep seeing you-
if that's alright with you?
Haruka: ^///^; y..yes..
Ruka: Jeez...get a room...DX
Makiiii ;.; why did you have to send
me in today....stupid workers all
calling off...
~~~Elsewhere~~~
Maki: ^___^ *tickle tickle*
Amiya: *giggle*
Maki: Are you ready for your bath??
Amiya: :D *happy baby sounds XD*
Maki: Okay~~ :) Let's go take a bath~~
~~~Elsewhere~~~
Paolo: Wow..are you sure I look good..
I'm kinda scared..I've never had my
hair cut so short ^///^;
Veata: You look wonderful, darling :)
Veata: Now, let's go. I can't wait to
see the look on his face when he sees you XD
Paolo: ^^;
~~~
Paolo: Are you sure he's going to come?
Isn't he late now..?
Veata: Yeah, he's a little late. Normal
for him to show up that way..you know..
fashionably late..
Paolo: Oh..so we're just waiting out here
until he gets here? What if it rains?? ;.;
Veata: Oh no, XD I've got the key. Lets
go inside and see the studio~
Veata: Well, this is our studio~~
What do you think?
Paolo: I think it's amazing..I feel..
I feel like a princess standing here ^^;
Veata: You certainly look like one :)
Paolo: So...how did you become an employee
under Ryik?
Veata: Ah...yes...I was a student working on
my portfolio at the time, and I couldn't find
anyone that could model so I just used myself;
He found that daring at our school's first
runway show, and after the show he offered me
a straight up job. ^^; I hadn't even finished
my schooling yet, and I had already landed a job.
I've been here ever since..it seems a lot of
people really like my designs..I guess I might
just be really lucky. *sigh*
Paolo: Wow, that's really easy...um...you know..
I noticed before..the way you look at Ryik..
you like him don't you..as more than a boss...
Veata: !!...u_u Yes,...unfortunately, he's
as dense as they get when it comes to love..
Paolo: Why haven't you told him then?
Veata: ...I guess, I'm afraid I won't get so lucky..
Paolo: Pfft..*giggle*..ahahha XD
Luck has nothing to do with love!
Veata: Ohhh..don't laugh at me!!
I wasn't exactly the prettiest thing
on Earth you know...so I don't have
a ton of confidence...it might actually
take some luck for me to get the guy..
Paolo: Sorry, sorry..*trying to stop
giggling* But really, you should just
tell him. I'm sure he'd like to know.
Veata: Sure sure...I'll tell him today
then. The worst he can do is break my
heart...
Paolo: He could fire you..
Veata: ^^; That's not as bad. I'm going
to check and see if he's here..
~~~Elsewhere~~~
Myrna: !!Yu..YUJI!! Wh, what are you doing here?!
Yuji: Ah...sorry Myrna, I didn't think you'd be
in the bath...why did you leave your door unlocked..?
Myrna: I always do, out!! Get out!! DX
Yuji: No way~~ If you leave your door unlocked..
who knows what scum might walk in and hurt you..
^__^ I gotta stay and protect you, you know.. ;)
Myrna: Yuji -__-;
Yuji: Besides...when am I ever going to see you
naked again.. ahaha...might be never after this,
so I might as well enjoy it now XP
Myrna: ....
Myrna: You know...Yuji...will you help me get dressed..?
Yuji: Heh...hehehe...yeah..sure..
Myrna: ^///^;
~~~Elsewhere~~~
Haruka: I...I had a really...nice..time..
Ryik: :) So did I. I'm really quite sorry
I can't take you home :\
Haruka: It...it's alright.. ^^; Really..
I only just live..a little..a little walk,
from here..
Ryik: You know, Haruka, you didn't stutter
once the entire time we were talking earlier...
Haruka: huh...I..I didn't??
Ryik: I think the plants are really calming
for you :) Next time, how about we go to the
greenhouse and enjoy some tea and snacks..?
Haruka: ^__^ Sure~~! I'd love that~!!
Ryik: :D Great, then I'll call you soon.
Haruka: Okay~~
Ryik: *kisses forehead*
Haruka: ^////^;;
Veata: !!!!!!!!!!
Veata: !!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;.;
Paolo: Veata! Are you okay?
What's the matter? Are you hurt?
Veata: ...no...;.; no I'm not h..hurt..*sob*
Paolo: Why are you crying?!
Veata: Because he..he kissed another girl!
But nevermind that...he'll be in soon..
*tries to calm herself a little more*
Please be ready for your photoshoot..
Paolo: Veata...are you sure you're okay?
Veata: I will be fine. *still teary eyed,
but not really crying anymore..*
Paolo: You know he's going to see..
Ryik: Hey girls, are yo..
What's wrong? Why were you crying??
Veata: ......*holds breath*
Paolo: Oh.. :\
Ryik: Veata?
Veata: *Sobs*
