Previous Chapter Dinner
Mikee still don’t have an idea who there models are, her two friends keeps on giggling and wouldn't say anything it is making her anxious, worst she is not good with surprises, “Nee-chan please just a hint I don’t want to look stupid in front of them or like puzzled”
Ashley and Frezzy just laugh, then “I just love that look in your face” Frezzy teased, Mikee pouted even more “Impatient as always we would be there soon so eyes on the road, also I wanted to see your reaction when you meet them” Mikee parked in front of the restaurant and which is imprinted on her memory by heart.
When they reached the door a waiter ushered them to the table where they would join their client. “Aren’t you going to say hi to your auntie?” Ashley whisper to Mikee “I think I saw her n the counter, want to come with me so I can introduce who I am with the while I am here" Ashley tap the waiter and say and say they would just go to the cash register.
Waiter looked puzzled but still usher them towards the cash register, the middle aged woman stood up and greeted Mikee with a wide smile and spread her arms “Welina, Okaerinasai Mi-chan“ Tadaema desu Auntie Maliah” and they hug tightly, “I am staying with my friends Frezzy nee and my Oba-san Ashley remember them?” “Yes, I can still remember them Welina to Maui” Maliah smile at them and open her arms to give each lady a warm hug and kiss, “Aniki will be here any time soon, since Johnny of JE is here at the restaurant and he wanted to greet him personally”
The 3 girls giggle and Mikee says “I would know if daddy is here then since Johnny is our client and we would be dining with them tonight” Maliah was shocked and says “Nothing less from my mei, I would tell aniki later when he arrived don’t forget the we have luau later”
Mikee wanted to protest but Frezzy and Ashley grabed her and wisphered "are you sure you wanted our client to know about your personal life?" Mikee can't answer Frezzy directly give a sigh and say "I guess it can't be helped I guess unless Daddy would would gesture to excuse myself so we can talk alone" Ashley give a questioning look at Mikee asked "can you give me the percentage of that scenario happening instead of the other way around? " again Mikee sigh "knowing Daddy Hokuo it would be 10/90 ratio"
There were 7 men on the table, Johnny is seated at the head of the table on his left Yoshihiko Inohara is facing the door while the other 5 is settled on Johnny's right.
“Mi-chan, you can sit here beside me” and Yoshihiko stand up, Mikee walk past the 5 men, give Johnny a kiss on his chick and then give Yoshihiko a kiss on the check as well "konbanwa Yoc-chan" and settle herself beside the manager, when she settle down her eyes couldn’t believe who is in front of her, while the other two ladies were having a hard time concealing their laughter, and giving their hello and hi with to these guys.
Matsumoto Jun arch his perfect brows while saying “How come you haven’t greeted me properly Mi-chan?” Mikee doesn’t know what to do she immediately stand up and bow her head “Gomen Matsumoto-san I didn’t mean to be rude” Nino laugh and say “Sorry MJ she addressed you with Honorifics that means she liked me better” Give a playful wink at Mikee’s direction then start to get closer to her side and brush a kiss on her check “Hisashi-buri Mi-chan” Mikee blush with the gesture but answered “O hisashi-buridesu Kazu-kun”
Aiba Masaki and Sho Sakurai were laughing because of Mikee’s reaction “Mi-chan you look so funny and at the same time cute it’s as if it is the first time you meet us” said Aiba and continue to laugh. While Sakurai Sho is also trying his best to hide her laughter “Gomenasai Mi-chan but it’s hard not to laugh when your reaction is priceless” and then give way with his laughter.
The 2 ladies were giggling and then Ohno looked so concern also walk to Mikee’s side give her a kiss on her check and say “Daijobu? Mi-chan” Mikee still haven’t recovered with the blush she got from Nino and now with Ohno answered not confident enough with “Daijobu Oh-chan, hisashi-buri” and smile.
Jun noticed there is something wrong with the way Mikee is acting but he just simply ignore it and come close to Mikee and kiss her on the cheek like nino and ohno did “you are acting a bit strange you know” then turn to get back to where he is seated.
Mikee don’t know what to do but before she can think Aiba and Sho were also walking towards her the Aiba gives her a crushing hug while laughing “You never fails to make me laugh” next is Sho who also gives her a hug and say “O hesashi-buridesu neh Imoto” Mikee just smile and says “H-hai hisashi-buridesu Nii-chan”
When they all settled the waiter already moved to ask for their order and one of the waiter nod’s at Mikee and she smiled “I would get my favorite” waiter wrote down then smiled and whispered “welcome home” Mikee whispered back “it’s good to be back”.
Jun got a glimpse of it but ignore it and give their orders to the waiter. After the waiter repeat everything he said he would be back with the orders.
While waiting another a huge man open the door with a smile on his face “Kitagawa-san Welima!” Johnny stood up and waited for the man to approach him and they bow heads before they shake hand “thank you in accommodating us here on your restaurant Hokou-kun” “Not at all, pleasure is all mine since you are bringing celebrity and a known photographer who can’t even grant a request of his old guy” Johnny was shock with the statement and look at the 3 ladies but to his surprise Frezzy and Ashley give Mikee a “this is what I am talking” about look and Mikee stood up from where she is seated completely forgeting she is infront of her idols approach the man “Daddy don’t scare them like that, it would be your fault if they withdraw as our client”
Hokou laugh and give mikee a tight hug while saying “but it’s true it’s been what 10 years since the last time you visited us here, I grow old in waiting, I even beg you to visit us but you never show up until now” Mikee apologetically answered “Daddy, my schedule won’t let me not to mention my struggle before I work as a photographer you know that”
Their audience are amused of what they are seeing and at the same time Johnny is confused “Fine, schedule is always hard on you and I only get to spend a couple of hours when I am visiting you it’s not fair for an old guy like me, forgive me for being sentimental I can’t help it I am an old man” Hokou continues his sentiments, Mikee hug him tightly and says “I missed you too, Tadaima desu Daddy” with that Hokou teary eyed and answered “Okaeri my princess” give Mikee a kiss on the forehead.
Johnny can’t control the curiosity anymore “I am confused can someone please explain to me how you guys know each other and she is even calling you daddy” all eyes are waiting for the answer. Hokou smiled and Mikee was hesitant but choose to answer for him “Gomen minna, Daddy Hokou is somewhat a foster parent of mine, I worked with Hawaiian Airlines before and he is one of my managers by then” “We grow fond of her since she is the youngest among all the employee and as you can see she is a charmer so we have loved her like our own daughter” Johnny Kitagawa shake his head and say “Couldn't agree more to that and she is calling me Uncle J” with that both men laugh.
“Oh Alii someone is dying to see you” Hokou continues “TJ come on in I know you are at the door” Mikee arch her brow to the man who just opened the door “Uncle you don’t have to introduce me like that, Mi-chan Hisashi-buri” Mikee stopped the man completely forgetting they have an audience “Say my name properly before I answer your greeting back” TJ look at Hokou asking for help but was disappointed when Hokou didn’t even look at his direction "Mi-chan come on your Hawaiian name is hard there is a lot of “L” in it and I would end up saying a different thing” Mikee just arch her brows and say “Sorry but no greetings from me” “Alii be nice to TJ he missed you too you know" Hokou try to persuade Mikee “Fine only if he would serve me my food” TJ smile and say “By all means you are Alii of this restaurant after all” Mikee smiled and greeted TJ “Hisashi-buridesu An-chan”
“Dinner will be served momentarily so enjoy and you guys are all welcome to a luau party we have in welcoming our Alii back” Mikee protest “Daddy you don’t have to do this, we can always visit you guys here for our meals and you know I am not fond of party” “Too late since TJ and the others are already here so you better be at the garden after dinner by the way Kitagawa-san this dinner is my treat”
“Oh thank you” is all Johnny can say “well leave you guys to have diner and see you at the garden after alright?” Hokou is looking at Mikee in particular “I would come if they agreed to come too” whinning like a brat crossed her arms around her chest. Then Hokou looked at the people who is at the table “will you guys go? This can also be a welcome party for all of you and there are only few people who are there just close friends really” “For as long as there is beer and entertainment then count me in” Aiba announced cheerful as always while the rest nod in agreement Hokou smiled “That is settled then see you guys in a bit”
Ohno, Aiba, Jun and Sho looked at Mikee with an amused smile on their faces, while Nino can’t help and voice out what they are thinking “Wow, that was the first I never knew you were that sweet and fluffy with your so called daddy, and to think this diner is free of charge wow you are something” Frezzy answered for Mikee “She doesn’t actually show this side of her to our client but when we are in Hawaii she doesn’t have much of a choice and you guys are an exception to the rule now I guess”
Johnny eyed Mikee amused “So you are familiar to this place that is why you suggested it ne Mi-chan, but you are actually from the Philippines right? " Mikee red as tomoto faced Johnny “Hai hawaii is actually special to me, gomen in not telling you about Daddy Hokou, that is because I know this might actually happen and I also didn’t know you knew him” Johnny smiled “Hokou is actually a childhood friend he is a kohai to be exact, small world” “ehh that is why he wanted to greet you personally when he arrived" then face the arashi and bow her head "gomen in dragging you to the party they organized I didn’t know but if you have other schedule please don’t let it be a hindrance”
Ohno answered “Mi-chan relax I don’t have schedule for tonight and I am curious about the luau they organize for you" Ohno and nino looked at each other as if they are having a mental telepathy. Jun smiled and say “Yup, that party is okay at least we can have new acquaintances on the Island while we stay for a couple of days”
Sho give an encouraging smile "Mi-chan its fine at least we can have a bit of beer to loosen the tension neh aiba-chan?” Aiba nod and continue “they have free beer and I am actually planing on asking the other 4 if we can have a drink after diner too so its fine”
Mikee was relieve but somehow uneasy because one of the rules she has is to not let people know how soft she is when it comes to family also another rule is not to let client know who she is outside work.
Not to mention with the way these 7 men is talking to her no honorifics and address her casually she must have been close with these men.
After dinner she asked the two ladies to come with her so she can ask them a question “Can you guys please explain to me what is happening?” Frezzy just smile “I will let Ashley do the honor” Ashley just smile and say “These guys are the exception of the rules you have, as simple as that” Mikee rolled her eyes and say “That is not what I am asking, can you just answer me" Ashley and Frezzy giggle "M, as much as you don't like it these men are close to you, especially Aiba and Sho because for them you are there baby sister"
With that Mikee feel guilty about the situation an voice it out. "I feel guilty about this situation can we let them know that I actually have lost my memory for the last 5 years and that the last thing I know is I am quitting my old job”
Ashley and Frezzy looked at each other and then get into a deep thought about what Mikee is proposing “I guess we can tell the models but the manager and Uncle J not sure” Frezzy also in deep thought says “I agree with Ashley we can let the Guys know but not the manage we just need to find the perfect timing to tell them though" Mikee sigh and say "Alright help me out so I can talk to them one at a time" Frezzy had an idea "we can divide them to two groups, you can first tell it to sho and aiba then the other three hows that sound" Mikee nod in agreement "sounds like a plan to me" then they head back to the dining hall to usher the men to the garden where luau will be held.
