*UNEDITED*The previous day 10:23PM
Human hearts are fragile.
People need an outlet to express their feelings - whether it"s in the form of songs, writing or even alcohol. Unfortunately, Haruka isn"t blessed with musical talent. He can"t calm himself down or get lost in music like Lila and Kiryu. Right now he was amid a party, a mixture of rich n.o.bles and random people. He was drinking everything they gave him without stopping. He was completely wasted but even then Haruka was sane, at least until he drank that last bottle.
Somebody stopped the party and took him away. By this point Haruka was far gone, he didn"t know who the other person was but she felt familiar. Her scent was amazing and she looked beautiful to him. Ah, it must be her. It must be his wife.
She isn"t lecturing him but, "Lila came here for him." Lila didn"t abandon him, she didn"t toss him away. Right now Lila is here, she -- she is right by him. He"s never felt this way towards another person, never felt so strongly before, that"s why he can"t loose her no matter what.
Haruka is licking and sucking her neck with so much force. He tore her s.h.i.+rt apart and the flimsy garments she wore.
"Nnnnghhh, Haruka! Hold on, we can"t do this..."
"Why? Why can"t we? You"re mine, why are you refusing?" Haruka snapped.
d.a.m.n, did something happen with Kiryu? Is that why she is turning him away now? "Please don"t do this to me, I love you Lila. I love you so much."
He loves her so much, he can"t bare it if she were to leave him. Ever since they came to Star Town, his emotions have become a mess. He wants to go back to London, when things were still peaceful between Lila and him. Those peaceful days with Lila..
After he said those words, Haruka felt the girl relax and he continued kissing her. Lila, Lila - it"s okay Lila. They can be together forever...
...
XX Hotel Present : 7:45am
An unfamiliar room, naked - and with a killer headache. A scene he saw all too many times in the past, but even then Haruka cursed. This is bad, so bad. Lila is going to hate him, she will definitely leave him. Lila will... Haruka recalled how she ditched him and he deeply sighed. Well, maybe she didn"t even notice.
He looked around and sure enough saw female garments on the ground. If he listened closely, he hears the faint sound of a shower. Can he quickly bolt and leave before whoever comes out? Gosh, this is awful. Haruka doesn"t even remember who the woman was.
Just as Haruka thought of ways to leave, the woman strolled out of the shower. His eyes widened when he saw who it was. Short brunette hair. The girl thankfully got changed in the bathroom, but even then he could see some deep marks on her arms and neck.
"Rikka.." Haruka said surprised.
"Here, have some hangover medicine," Rikka took out some medication from her handbag on the side.
"Last night," he looked her up and down again. He couldn"t make a mistake with those markings. "Sorry, did we..."
Rikka sighed, "You"re lucky it was me. Any other girl would have black mailed you already..." she rubbed the temple of her forehead. "Really, why did you get so drunk? I thought your staying out of the bar scene now..."
"Yeah, I guess old habits don"t go away."
"I suppressed the media for you. They won"t publish the article, and the people who went to the party won"t remember," Rikka walked over and brushed her hands across his forehead. "I think you should rest more."
Haruka kept looking over at the markings on her neck. He tried to recall exactly what he did but his head hurt. Haruka knew even if she didn"t say it, they did - he actually touched her. "Rikka, I"m really sorry..."
"Don"t apologize, it was nice, even though you mistook me for your wife."
"..."
He still slept with her though... Lila, Lila will hate him. He touched another woman.
"Is sleeping with me that bad?"
"No, that"s.."
He doesn"t understand. No amount of alcohol should have made him do something like that.
Rikka placed a bottle down in front of him, "This is what you drank last night."
Haruka glanced over at the bottle and frowned. "Isn"t this.."
"I heard about it from my father. A entertainment company is distributing a new drug around, and mixing it with alcoholic beverages so they don"t get caught."
"A entertainment company, huh?" Haruka sighed. To think he got this unlucky. "I mistook you for Lila?"
"You did," Rikka"s sentence fell short when the phone in her hands rang. "I"ll take this call," she bent down and surprisingly kissed his lips. "Sleep after you take the medicine."
Once Rikka left the room, Haruka sighed. "d.a.m.n, this is even more complicated than before." How about Lila? She must have cried since he didn"t return home last night. Thinking of his wife, all the danger vanished. Haruka looked around and found his phone on the table.
Sure enough when he opened his phone, he saw so many calls from her. The last one was "twenty minutes ago." She"s probably at work, but it" s worth the try. The moment Haruka dialed Lila"s number however - somebody else picked up.
A male voice, but not just any male.
"Hey, is that Haruka?"
Kiryu?
Haruka felt his blood drain from his face when he hears Kiryu answering Lila"s phone. Why is Kiryu with her? They don"t have work together today. Is she even at work?
"So, the thing is. After Lila helped me yesterday, she pa.s.sed out. It was already late so I took her to the Austin family villa in the mountains. I"ll send you a map, so you can fetch her."
"...."
They spent the night together? Just the two of them, in a house in the mountains?
"Hey Haruka, don"t misunderstand. Nothing happened."
"I don"t believe you."
"Then, believe in Lila at least. She would never cheat on you."
At that comment Haruka felt the pain in his heart. "Kiryu, what do I do? I slept with Rikka."
Kiryu didn"t say a word at first and Haruka felt himself slowly going crazy. "Did you get drugged?"
"Yeah. I..but even then it"s no excuse."
"I"ll tell her, don"t worry. Where are you Haruka?"
Where is he? Haruka looked down at his state and scanned the room. "...let"s me at the Star cafe in thirty minutes."
"Alright, we will be there."
