"This one is mine.""H--Haruksama," the girl frowned, "You and this…"
"She"s mine," Haruka repeated.
The tough exterior from the girl vanished, and she quickly rushed back into the recording booth. Haruka bent down and kissed her lips, "What did you need from me?"
"Ah um," Lila held up the scores, "I was wondering if you could help me with my English."
"English?"
"Ah-huh, you came back from abroad, right?"
Haruka nodded. "I only have a few minutes, is that okay?"
"Yes."
"Come this way."
On the way inside, Lila noticed how the other females in the band were sending her death glares. So, the group Haruka is helping now is an all-female band? Before she came, it was just him with all these girls?
Haruka sat down on the couch, and Lila sat on the one opposite. "What are you doing? Sit next to me."
"B--but," Lila said nervously as she looked over. A single wall and gla.s.s only separated them. The others could still see them.
"Just leave them, they won"t blab if I ask."
Lila nodded and made her way over, Haruka wrapped his arms around her shoulder. "So, what are you stu-," Haruka paused when he read the score. "Angel"s song?"
"Ah-huh, it"s for the tribute alb.u.m," Lila trailed off when she saw his expression. "Is it a problem?"
"No. Talk in English first, then I"ll see what the problem is."
Lila followed his instructions and spoke a few sentences.
"You stumble on this part, you can"t say your L"s correctly."
"Ahuh, we don"t have an l in this country."
"Right, so rather than sleep, it sounds sreep."
Gah, that sounds wrong. Lila looked at the sheets again when she felt Haruka caress her legs. "H-- Haruka, what are you doing?"
"Breaking the tension, don"t look so serious."
"I have to be serious," she moved his hand away. "This is very important."
If she screws the tribute up, then people would return to bad-mouthing Angel. She can"t let that happen.
"I"ll teach you more, tonight, "Haruka whispered in her ear.
"Right," she stammered. Exactly what is he going to teach her? English? Or...
"What do you think?" Haruka pointed at the girls behind the screen, "Are they any good?"
Lila looked over at the girls who were practicing and sighed, "Well, I don"t know if my opinion is any good. But it"s better than that woman."
"Better than Sophia?"
"Yes," Lila nodded. "I"ve met loads of artists up till now. Their performances are very touching, and they all s.h.i.+ned brightly. But her songs don"t have any emotions behind them," she looked up at the group. "These people may be arrogant, but I can feel their emotions come through. They"d do a great job in the battle of the bands if they weren"t against us for the next round."
"You"re that confident?"
"It"s got nothing to do with confidence. It"s more like we can"t lose," Lila nodded. She can"t lose now. Not when she is singing Angel"s songs, the others think the same too.
"You are serious, huh?"
......
8:00 PM
This is the right place, right? Lila peers at the house curiously. Before Lila could raise her hand and press the doorbell of the gate. The doors opened, revealing two people. The blonde-haired woman Sophia, she was dragging a huge luggage bag outside.
"Fine then, b.a.s.t.a.r.d! See if I care."
"Hey, Sophia, wait...I thought you were working tonight; otherwise, I wouldn"t.."
"Shut up; I"ve had it with you and your lies. Don"t talk to me."
"Geez, babe," Haruka wrapped his arms around her, "Don"t be so mad. I"ll make it up to you, okay?"
"You always say that, you big liar… I"m not listening to you anymore."
Ah… Lila stood there frozen; he hugged her. Friends hug each other, that"s normal. But why does she get the feeling that there is something wrong here?
Wait, was she just about to kiss--
"Haruka, I"ll go."
"Alright, be that way."
Sophia quickly walked off, and Haruka grabbed her luggage bag. "Coming?"
"Ah-huh."
She wanted to ask him what that stuff was about just now. But Lila figured that it wasn"t important and followed Haruka inside.
Haruka"s apartment wasn"t too large, but it was undoubtedly extravagant on the inside. "Is Haruka rich too?" Lila recalled what Arata said and frantically shook her head. Don"t think about it like that.
"Have you showered yet?" Haruka asked.
"I--I did before I came," because she knew he would ask this.
"I haven"t; you unpack your stuff. I"ll join you later."
"Ah, can I cook dinner?"
"Hmm? Yeah."
….
A clean kitchen, nothing in the fridge and hardly any cooking utensils. Thankfully Lila thought as much and brought things before.
It"s just her imagination, right? Those two, nothing is going on with them, right? Lila knew that Haruka still didn"t think they were in a proper relations.h.i.+p, even with that official declaration. However, Lila wanted to make it clear to him that she was serious. So right now, they are still in a trial. Unless she says it? She loves him, and she is happy to be with him.
Her thoughts broke off when she felt a pair of arms hug her from behind. "Hugging your body is so nice."
"Wh--wha.."
"Don"t be embarra.s.sed," Haruka bite her ears, "You"re beautiful."
This guy, he"s way too much for her. It"s not like she is new to intimate contact from the opposite gender. Whenever she drinks Kiryu"s blood, it ends up with the two of them being intimate. Recently though Lila has stopped drinking from him. She didn"t think it was right for her to be intimate with another guy when she has a boyfriend now.
She wonders if Haruka is still seeing other girls. Lila didn"t think about it before. But after seeing that just now, she"s worried. The two of them aren"t official yet, so Haruka can still… Lila switched the stove off and turned to Haruka.
"Lila, mmmmgh… What is it? Taking the initiative?"
She needs to show him if she doesn"t, wouldn"t he leave her?
….
When Lila woke up, she noticed how dark the skies were. Oh no! She fell asleep.
"Hey, you"re awake."
"Um, sorry din--," Lila paused in mid-sentence when she saw some food on the table. Her eyes brightened, "What is this?"
"Just corn dogs, onion rings and... Typical American food. Sorry I couldn"t make anything fancy."
"No, this is just fine.." Rather, he knows how to cook? That"s a bit surprising.
Haruka gently kissed her forehead, "Sit down, let"s eat."
"Harukkun, um you changed my clothes?"
His lips curve to a smile, "Yeah, your body is lovely."
She blushed at his words. "Idiot," Lila pulled up a chair and sat down. There are only two chairs in the table and these utensils. Did that woman use them too?
"Lila, sit on my lap. I"ll feed you."
"Ohh, okay."
How strange, the contact she"s had with Haruka since she started dating him surpa.s.ses the one she"s had with Kiryu. Then again, whenever it looked like Kiryu would touch her, he doesn"t.
"Say Harukkun?" Lila turned to him, "I want you to be honest with me. Um, are you still seeing other girls?"
"You already know?"
"Harukkun, you know...I.."
"You don"t like it?"
Lila nodded.
"If you can tell me that were serious, then I"ll stop."
Serious? "Didn"t I tell you that already?"
"Your reply after that okay were you rus.h.i.+ng to call Austin Kiryu."
Gah!
"Tell me that guy is your fiance. Naturally, you would be worried about him, but do you like him that way?"
Like Kiryu, in the same way, she does Haruka? But she gets a different type of feeling whenever she is with him. "The feelings I have for you and Kiryu are different."
"What kind of feeling do you have for him?"
"I um.."
"How about me?"
"I love you."
"Good girl," Haruka murmured, "Since you love me, I"ll do as you say and stop seeing other women."
Ah? Is that it? Just like that?
"But I have my needs." Lila"s already red face turned redder, "Do you get it, Lila?"
So, is he sleeping around with other women because he"s a h.o.r.n.y idiot? No, that"s not it. There is something more to it, Lila turned to the food and extended her spoon towards Haruka"s mouth. "Eat."
They can have a serious talk after he eats.

"Ah-huh, you didn"t eat earlier."
"I have a better idea," Haruka whispered in her ear.
"N--no! We can"t do that, it"s embarra.s.sing."
"Why not?"
"N--No means no."
"Alright, I"ll just ask somebody else."
Lila glared at him, is he blackmailing her?!! The nerve. Didn"t he say he would be patient? "You"re horrible! I"m going home," Lila tried to squirm free from his hold.
"Home? You"ll be all alone."
"I don"t care; it"s better than staying with you when you"re in a bad mood."
Did that fight with that Sophia person upset him? She"s never seen him like this before.
"Don"t be angry at me Lila, I just really love you."
"I know," Lila whispered. She really did know. They"ve only known each other for a short while, but Haruka"s feelings for her are so very strong. It seems like he knows a lot about her too.
Haruka caressed her cheeks, "Don"t be angry," Haruka repeated. "I want to make things work with you."
He"s really clumsy, isn"t he? At love.
"Let"s finish eating Haruka; then we can talk?"
"Yeah," Haruka picked up a fork and knife. He cut a piece of the burger and extended it towards her mouth, "Here."
Her eyes lit up once she ate it. "This is really good."
"Right?"
"If you cook so well, why don"t you have any cooking equipment?" Lila wondered.
"That"s because I"m always working. Sophia doesn"t cook either."
Work… Lila peers at him, "At bars and clubs?"
"You heard about that too, huh?"
"Harukkun, do you have to work at those places? You could get hurt and hara.s.sed."
"Relax, I"m a guy."
But, "I"m worried about other women."
"Your so possessive of me dear. If you want me so badly, show me you"re better than them."
Lila puffed her cheeks up, "I know," and she"s already trying. But for some reason, Haruka doesn"t believe in her sincerity. Then again, they have only known each other for a short time.
..
"Nngh...."
"Your lips are so damaged now.."
"That"s your fault," Lila thought. "Harukkun, don"t you get tired?"
"I have plenty of stamina."
That"s not the problem here. Lila ran her hand through his hair, "You know, I"ve never done this with anybody else before."
"Mmm, so I"m your first again."
Lila sighed, "When you took my first kiss two years ago, I really wanted to hit you."
"But instead you got fl.u.s.tered."
"Don"t suck them." Lila stopped him.
"Why?"
"They...they aren"t big enough."
Lila had seen the girls who Haruka hung around with. Is it a coincidence that all of them had large chests? Either way, she wants nothing to happen between them until she matures. With a body like hers, Haruka will just get tired of her.
Lila felt him stare at her and nervously asked, "Wh--wha?"
"If you want them to get bigger, I"ll just rub them."
This shameless man! Lila hits him, "I change my mind; get off me."
"Don"t be mad.." Haruka whispered in her ear, "Your too beautiful. Turn around; I want to kiss you.
Her entire body feels like it"s burning... "Harukkun, Harukkun..."
Why? Why does she get like this around this man? It made little sense to Lila. For her to get so involved with somebody else like this. In the beginning, maybe she wasn"t serious like Haruka said. But the more time that pa.s.ses by, the more she is starting to realize how in love she is.
.....
K Studios - Lobby - 12;00
So their first night pa.s.ses by. Lila had to get up early and leave, so she couldn"t have breakfast with him. However, during noon, Lila spotted maroon colored hair by the elevators and rushed over.
"Harukkun!"
Haruka turned to her and pulled her into his arms, "Morning."
Lila laughed, "Um, morning. You have to work here?"
"Yeah, you too?"
"Ah-huh. Harukkun, I tried to write some lyrics for one of the new songs in the tribute alb.u.m using English like you said. But Ummm," Lila trailed off with a troubled look on her face.
"I think we can do more fun things in the elevator."
Lila blushed and tried to pry away from him, "You really don"t get tired. Didn"t you have enough with teasing me last night?"
"Yeah, it was fun but," he nibbled on her ear, "We didn"t exactly do it. So I"m not satisfied."
She looked at Haruka horrified. Not satisfied? After all that? Is this man a beast after all?
"Nnmmgh, nghmm....."
"Karas.h.i.+ma Haruka, get away from her," a sharp voice interjected.
"-Arata?" How embarra.s.sing! Lila"s cheeks burned red, did Arata just see that?
"Tok.u.mori Arata, I presume."
Arata yanked her away from Haruka and sighed, "What are you doing? What if somebody sees you."
"Ah, um I"m sorry."
"Forget it; you didn"t know.." Arata sent a harsh glare towards Haruka. "But you should. Are you trying to get into a scandal with her? I know you want to rise up, but using Lila is.."
"Wait, Arata? That"s not it," Lila quickly interjected.
A rata sighed, "Forget it, you"re too clueless," he trailed off, "I hear Fallen Moon is playing today."
Lila"s eyes lit up, "Kiryu?"
"Third floor."
Kiryu"s playing? She wants to see it!
.....
"Kiryu! You were amazing."
Kiryu chuckled, "Better work on your vocab if you want to impress me."
"Aha, your so silly Kiryu."
He reached over and hugged her, "Feeling okay today?"
"En! Kiryu you"re warm."
"Mmm, how could you sleep peacefully without me?"
Sleep... Lila recalled what happened with Haruka last night and her whole face turned red. Wahh... Wahhh!
