An elevator opens to reveal two young women, one with fair skin, aqua hair falling to her shoulders, her friend slightly taller then her with bronze skin and long dark green hair. The entire office turns to look at the two women; crimson eyes look down into blue ones as the two women step off the elevator.
"Ah Miss Kaiou and Miss Meioh it is a pleasure to meet you. Thank you for transferring to our office."
"Yes, well we are looking for a challenge."
"Yes there were not a lot of good stories in Osaka."
"Well if you two want a challenge I have just the thing...." The elderly man hands the two a folder. Setsuna raise an eyebrow at the folder, tiling so Michiru can look at it.
"How is getting a sculpture and painter a challenge?"
"They are recluses no one has even been able to get an interview from them."
"Recluse...."
"You are talking about the blind sculptor and perfectionist paint Raghnall and Tenou?"
"Yes, they hit the art world by storm over 13 years ago when they were 15 and no one has been able to get an interview. I don't even think there is a picture of them, no one has seen them come to think of it." Setsuna and Michiru look at each other then smiles.
"Well that does sound like fun." Setsuna and Michiru turn around entering the elevator.
"Good luck..."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
A length dirty blonde sighs as she looks at her portrait of a mermaid embracing an angel; dark green eyes look over at her taller tanned friend. Who is working on a statue of beautiful goddess with a flowing robe.
"What is wrong Haruka?" Haruka looks over at the platinum blonde, her green eyes looking into blue.
"I am having problems coming up with a face for this mermaid." Erin frowns, going over to Haruka patting the smaller woman on the shoulder.
"I know I am having the same problem with my goddess..." Erin motions to the statue. "You think it is because we have not seen anyone outside each other." Haruka sighs puts the paint brush down.
"I don't know, Erin you think you could cook something? I think a dinner on the balcony with some wine may do us some good."
"Aye of course brother..." Erin pats the blonde on the shoulder heading to the kitchen, Haruka frowning looking out the front bay window.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Michiru and Setsuna pull up to the large manor, Setsuna double-checking the address.
"This is it...."
"Ok, here it goes..." Michiru leans over hitting the intercom.
"Yes?" Michiru shivers God she has a sexy voice.
"Hello my name is Michiru Kaiou and my friend is Setsuna Meioh. We were wondering if we could come in and speak with you?"
"I am sorry me and my brother do not like visitors sorry you wasted your time..." The intercom flips off Michiru and Setsuna looking at each other, Michiru pressing the button again but does not get an answer.
"There has to be a way to get in that house...." Setsuna flips through the file the editor gave her.
"Well they get all their food and supplies delivered..."
"Lets figure out who delivers it and when, maybe we can payoff a deliver-man to get us in." Michiru backs out of the driveway and heads back down the interstate.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Haruka raise an eyebrow as she watches the car drive away.
"They gave up too easily, but I suppose if they do manage to get in here with out getting caught. We could at least see them..."
"Oi Brit foods done...." Haruka just shakes her head and heads out on to the balcony.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Setsuna yawns looking over at the smaller woman.
"Any luck?"
"No, we have gone half way through the phone book with no luck."
"Their trash is picked up too so we can't go looking for invoices."
"Looking at their bank records is impossible unless we get the police involve and they would not help for something like this." Michiru sighs then leans back letting her head hang over the back of the chair.
"We would have better luck throwing darts at a list." Setsuna types on her computer, looking on google for any information.
"All I can find out are their names, Haruka Tenou and Erin Raghnall."
"Raghnall? That does not sound Japanese."
"It's not.... says he is from Ireland and this Tenou his father was British." Michiru sighs, looking down at the next number.
"Well lets try this Spirit general store it is a little mom and pop business but worth a shot." Michiru dials the phone number and after a few rigs someone picks up on the other end.
"Spirit general store what can I do for you?"
"Ah hey I was wondering if you did the delivers to the Tenou Raghnall manor?"
"Shamrock and Brit? Yes we deliver to them three days a week."
"Oh ok thank you.... wait you do?"
"Yes why are you so interested?"
"I am a friend I know they tend to forget to places orders I just wanted to check."
"Alright.... lets see tomorrow is their food, last deliver of the day, truck leaves at 11am, 2 days later is a deliver for their art supplies leaves at 9 am and 2 days after that we have a delivery for their livestock. I suppose just telling you we deliver to them ever two days would have been easer."
"How do they pay you?"
"Ah well our deliver guy backs up to a loading dock, the payment is always in a box we only have the key for, automated belt pulls the deliver in the house. Those two really don't like company. I am told Shamrock can be violent but I don't think so she did not see the type, put course I only talked to her on the phone a few times."
"Huh, alright thank you I am glad to see they are keeping up, and thank you for taking care of them."
"My pleasure the are great guys, have a good evening...." The man hangs up; Michiru hangs up the phone grinning over at Setsuna. Setsuna raises an eyebrow at the grinning woman.
"What?"
"I found it...." Setsuna looks at her oddly for a moment.
"You found the place that does the delivers?"
"Yeah it was that little general store on the outside of town looks like it is about to fall apart."
"Yes I remember had a nice old man and some horny deliver boy that kept ogling us."
"Well maybe we can use that to our advantage the next deliver is tomorrow at 11am." Setsuna cringes slightly.
"I will let you do the seducing Michiru, I have swore of men after leaving James in Osaka." Michiru chuckles.
"Yes it does seem you have not had any luck since you dated that man you met in college, tall blonde guy. Whatever happened to him?" Setsuna shrugs as she gets up to get ready for bed.
"No clue he just disappeared 3 days before graduation, we were going to spend break together, I have not heard from him since. My luck is his probably dead, there are not a lot of men around like him."
"Yes he was always opening door, kissing her hand I am surprised I was shocked when you told me he was blind." Setsuna chuckles as she lies back in bed.
"Yes but his sculptors they were amazing he just knew by feel what was right, if a hair was out of place."
"He must have been a good lover then..." Setsuna turns out the light.
"Don't know never got that far, I wanted to but he didn't want to do it at college and hear all of the rumors. It is over 13 years ago, but I suppose now thinking back I am glad we didn't, I loved him but we both were only 15 and taking college course we had enough problems."
"'Setsuna!"
"Hey leave me be you making out with your boyfriends within the first two days...." Michiru throws a pillow at Setsuna.
"Lets get to bed, who knows maybe you will still find your prince charming..."
"Night Michiru"
"Good Night Setsuna"
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Erin lets out a large yawn as she walks barefoot on the wooden floor as she enters the kitchen; she automatically turns on the coffee machine, grabbing the paper to read while it brews.
"Hmmm More trouble with the gangs around, I feel bad for the police, they are horrible under paid and stretched thin." Erin scratches at the underside of her chin, her other hand running along the brail. Erin looks over her shoulder as Haruka drags herself across the floor. "Bad night?"
"Yeah I had that dream again"
"The one where you are running after your mermaid with aqua hair?"
"Yes, I never can catch her she is just out of reach..." Erin chuckles, pouring Haruka coffee before getting some herself.
"Seems you sub conscious wants to fuck with you over your unfinished painting..." Erin grins as she adds some Whiskey to her coffee. "You want breakfast on the balcony again?"
"Yeah, feeling the wind against my face helps make me think." Erin smiles at the smaller woman.
"Alright well get our there I will bring you breakfast..." Haruka smiles over at Erin.
"Thanks bro..." Erin grunts waving Haruka off to the balcony.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Michiru leans back in the passenger seat of the car, a warm cup of coffee in her lap, Setsuna sitting next to her in the driver's seat, drumming her fingers on the steering wheel with one hand the other holding her coffee.
"How hard you think it will be to get this guy to help us?" Setsuna shrugs sipping on her coffee watching the road for the returning delivery truck.
"No clue if he is a young kid should not be hard, either give him money or sex he will do anything."
"I am not going to sleep with him if that is what you are thinking?" Setsuna raises an eyebrow looking over at Michiru.
"Little jumpy are we? He is a young kid seeing breast probably would make him faint..." Michiru chuckles it stopping shortly a soon as the delivery truck pulls up. "Speak of the devil..." Both women get out of the car locking the doors. Michiru and Setsuna walk up to the young man, 16 maybe looking over a checklist. Setsuna puts her arms across her chest, looking over at Michiru who rolls her eyes,
"Excuse me." the young man jumps whipping around.
"Yes."
" I was wondering perhaps you could help me and my friend out..."
"Yes..." The boy squeaks, "of course what do you need?" The poor boy is red, holding his clipboard in front of his zipper.
"We want to go on the deliver with you to the Raghnall Tenou manor..." The young man looks at the two women.
"I don't know my boss may get mad...."
"Aw, please..." Setsuna rolls her eyes as Michiru takes advantage of her lower cut shirt.
"Yeah...ok don't know why you want to go, it is all automated..."
"Perhaps we are big fans..."
"Ah, well if you ladies would get into the cab we will leave in a few moments..." As they round the truck Setsuna smacks Michiru's arm.
"Michiru you about blew the poor boy's head off...." Michiru sticks her tongue out at Setsuna.
"Hey it got us a ride didn't it?" Setsuna just shakes her head.
"The things we do for stories sometimes." The young man gets in the truck smiling at the two women before he pulls onto the road.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Erin sighs as she sits out on the balcony on the front of their manor over staring the landscaped entrance and road below.
"Erin."
"Yeah..."
"You think we are every going to find lovers..." Erin sips her coffee not looking over at the smaller woman.
"True lover? Not just a lay?"
"Yeah...." Erin takes a deep breath pausing for a moment.
"It is possible I suppose."
"You had one right?"
"A lover? No I have had sex but no lover...."
"What about that woman in art college we went too..."
"Yeah and never finished the government was too worried about our safety. I was 15 back then I love her and I still do. But we disappeared without a word Haruka. No woman no matter how much they love you would wait 13 years when they don't even know if you are alive."
"Yes that is true."
"Is that painting really that depressing? I know it makes you smile because that is how you see you and your lover. Your dream is just out of reach I suppose and every time you look at that painting it reminds you. Why don't you just start a new one?"
"Why don't you start a new sculptor?" Erin snorts.
"It will bug the hell out of me if I don't finish...."
"See...." Erin groans and hangs her head.
"Ok, ok tell you what when the deliver gets here in." Erin pulls out her pocket watch hitting a button.
"It is 10:32 am...."
"30 minutes I will put them up then we can go for a ride how does that sound?" Haruka smiles as she stands up ruffling Erin's hair.
"Yeah, you always know how to cheer me up bro..." Erin snorts.
"After being around you over 28 years I hope so..."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The young man backs the truck up to the loading dock a small bell sounding to let the owner know it is here, shortly after a small automated belt starts. Michiru and Setsuna get out of the truck looking around.
"No windows, doors, vents it is solid concrete..." Setsuna walks up to the loading dock, noticing there is a small gap between the truck and the wall.
"Hey Michiru over her...." Michiru comes over to look over Setsuna's shoulder.
"Nice, give me a boost..." Setsuna links her hands and gives Michiru a leg up. Michiru balances unevenly for a moment before she gets her footing then turns back around and helps Setsuna up as well.
"Now what?"
"Follow the belt...." the two women follow the belt about 200 feet before they hear their shoes hit wood floor. The two women quickly remove their shoes hiding a far corner.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Erin looks up at the bell setting down her coffee on the table, she opens the large storage unit door in front of the table. Erin scratches the back of her head, smelling briefly.
"Ah grocery day...." Erin walks in heading to a random crate she stops right in front of the pair, picking up some crates before walking out.
"Which one you think it is..." Setsuna shrugs leaning over.
"She looks familiar though..."
"Ok next time she walks out with a crate we run out in the hall ok?" Setsuna nods, Erin walks in again picking up some more creates but stops right in front of the two women again.
"I smell perfume..." Erin stands there for a moment, the two women frozen in place. "Hmm they sell lot of things maybe one broken on a crate...." Erin again walks out, Michiru and Setsuna run through the kitchen into the hall to a near by closet.
"Now what?"
"I don't know guess we should follow them till they are somewhere they can't run" Michiru nods in an agreement. The pair watch Erin unload the crates with precision and speed, having it finished with in a half our. Erin stretches arching her back before she takes some saddlebags from a rack, packs them with some food and wine before walking out to the hallway.
"Alright.... Haruka probably out in the barn already...." Erin pauses at the closet staring right at the two women, her blue eyes slightly clouded with cataracts. "I have this odd feeling someone is here..." Erin shrugs and heads down the hall. "Must be tired...." Michiru and Setsuna let out the breath they were holding. Before slowly opening the door and looking around the hall before following the direct Erin went.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"OI Erin I got Vlad out for you...."
"Ah thanks Haruka...."
"I still don't know how you can walk bare foot everywhere..."
"I am special...." Erin hangs the saddle bags on a near by fence "I was thinking we could ride up to the water fall, you know with there is a small lake in between the falls?"
"Yeah, that sounds good, spend all day in the sun the go back to work tonight...." Erin grins as she walks to the barn taking her horse from Haruka.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Michiru and Setsuna come to the end of the hall way and open the door half way looking out to see the pair about 300 feet away at the barn. They both slip out, closing the door behind them, kneeling in front of the door.
"God the blonde one is..." Michiru clears her throat. "Looks like they are going for a ride, should be easier to follow them now, lot more cover."
"Yeah, wait till they are around the bend then spirit to the front of the path." The women nod to each other their eyes never leaving the pair.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Erin places a saddle bag on the back of Haruka's horse behind the saddle, she then grabs the other for her horse putting it up by the withers, or base of Vlad's neck pausing to look over her shoulder right at the door where the two women are.
"Erin what's up?"
"I don't know Haruka..." Erin slowly turns her gaze from the door before easily mounting Vlad ridding bareback. "I feel like someone is around"
"Come on Erin, we both need a break...." Erin looks over at the door one last time then sighs heavily following Haruka along the path.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
After Michiru and Setsuna make sure the pair is gone around the bend they stand and slowly work their way to the trail.
"I am glad Erin does not investigate that feeling or we would be dead by now...." Setsuna nods in an agreement.
"I swear I have seen her before, maybe there is a picture of them in an obscure paper or something." Michiru shrugs the two ducking into the trees as the gain sight of the pair, they follow being as careful as they can but still crunch leave and break some twigs.
They freeze when Erin stops her horse looking behind slowly scanning the woods.
"Erin come on, we have 500 acres around a 2 acre manor I am sure we have squirrels or deer or whatever...." Erin looks one last time before turning her hose around trotting back up to Haruka.
"I guess you are right I just can't shake this feeling...." Haruka shakes her head.
"I think being blind makes you paranoid." Erin snorts.
"Well I am missing an important way of protecting myself sorry...." Haruka laughs.
The two ride along the paths for around 3 hours before veering to the left and stopping in a large opening, overlooking a huge lake. Poor Setsuna and Michiru happily sit down as the pair dismounts their horses.
"God that had to be at least 3 or 4 miles..." Michiru nods as she takes a few breaths her eyes on the pair.
Erin pats the horses on their side; they calmly walk down the side path to the flat area between the waterfalls, to munch on so grass.
"Hey Erin this is more then 6 foot right?"
"Ah yeah I think it is a sink hole never been to the bottom it is ok to dive."
"Cool..." Haruka starts to strip removing her shirt, pants, shoes and socks, leaving her in boxers and an undershirt.
"Aw did I miss the strip tease?" Haruka snorts.
"Shut up I a deciding to I want to bother wearing my boxers and undershirt." Erin shrugs
"I always swim nude that way my clothes are dry for the ride back.
"You got me there..." Haruka strips off the last two items on her clothes and jumps off the maybe 200-foot cliff with a loud playful yell. Seconds later a large splash is hear. Erin laughs. , as she to removes her shirt, pants and boxers. "Come on old man it is nice and warm..."
"Don't call me old you are only a year younger, careful you keep up the names I will land on you..." Erin laughs then dives off as well the pair happily floating in the water below.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Setsuna and Michiru both are red and have nose bleeds from the display that just happened in front of them.
""Damn it they are hot too, makes it even harder to stay focused...." Michiru chuckles.
"Yeah no kidding, come on lets get their clothes so when they get out we can corner them." Setsuna nods in agreement the pair walking over to the cliff and gather the clothes.
"Now what?" Michiru blinks and shrugs.
"Watch them play around?"
"I won't complain to that..." The two women sit of the cliff just enough to see the pair.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Erin grins as she takes Haruka picking her up and throwing her a good 10 feet to the other side.
"Hey!! No fair I can't throw your heavy ass...."
"You make me sound like a sow..." Haruka frowns and splashes Erin, Erin spitting some water from her mouth. "Ah you bastard...."
Haruka and Erin play around and float around in the small pond for about another 4 hours. Erin stretches in the water and walks out of the pond, dripping wet towards her horse, pulling out a large towel. She lays the towel on the ground, and then takes some wine and assorted snacks and lays down on the towel to dry off. Haruka follows Erin's example, she fetches her towel, the wine glasses, silverware and more snacks before lying down.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Setsuna and Michiru watching the pair the entire time, both have had multiply nosebleeds. They are extremely aroused and their eyes have not left the pair.
"You know Michiru I feel like a peeping tom...."
"Yes I know but...." Michiru swallows nervously as she watching Haruka roll on her stomach as she eats an apple. "But it is for work..."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Haruka rolls over onto her right side to look over at Erin who is flat on her back.
"Bro do you ever get bored of sculpting?" Erin chuckles as she starts to juggle some apples.
"Yeah of course I do been doing it for almost 14 years now."
"So what keeps you from stopping...." Erin catches the apples setting them down on the blanket. She rolls onto her left side to face Haruka, before she takes a bite of one of the apples.
"Brother, you feeling ok? I know it is lonely up here by ourselves and if you want to leave the house and see the world I am not going to stop you. I have noticed a lot of your pieces lately have been of couples, creatures they are not suppose to be together, vampire and werewolf, mermaid and angel so on. You are wanting to look for a lover don't you?" Haruka blinks in surprise and stares at the older woman.
"You are not mad? You don't think I am replacing you or betraying you?" Erin smiles softly.
"No Brother, you are not chaining me to a wall forcing me to do anything against my will. I don't trust people and do not wish to live around them. That is my choice you don't have to stay by my side your entire life. You will be my brother just the same as you are here, as if you where in the US." Haruka licks her bottom lip looking at the ground in thought.
"I am glad to know you are not angry bro but still..."
"You are scared?" Haruka nods her head yes "Brother I would protect you like I always do but, I do not want to leave this house. I know you would never force me to leave to protect you or anything like that. I saw enough of the world when we were at that art college. I did not like what I saw so I hide myself here with things I find beautiful." Haruka groans and flops back on her back taking a large bite of her apple.
"You make everything sound so cut and dry bro...." Erin chuckles, throwing a few apple cores across the falls to a pack of deer.
"Aye to me it is that way I suppose. I never really emotionally developed like you did. I not saying I am heartless but I have no emotional impulse I guess is how you would put it. So you longing to have a lover is something I would not feel. To me it is only an emotional requirement, I am a butch I am not going to reproduce in any form if I take a lover. I am concerned the stress it may cause..."
"So you are scared to fall in love like I am scared to leave safety of this house in you?" Erin pauses staring off into the distance woods.
"Aye Brother I am, if I get hurt emotionally I will not know how to handle it." Haruka sighs and close her eyes.
"Who knows maybe the angels will smile upon us and we will find love." Erin dons a small lop sided smile.
"Aye perhaps..."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Michiru and Setsuna continue to watch the pair unmoving, straining to hear any part of their conversation.
"I can't hear anything, you?'
"No and I can't read lips..." The pair sighs, as they stand vigil Michiru sits up straight 2 hours later as the pair stand up and collect their things.
"Shit they are coming up..." Michiru and Setsuna gather the clothes and run into the forest for cover.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Erin you know we have been you here all day? It is almost 7 p.m."
"Hmm well we both needed a laid back day anyway..." Erin folds up the towel putting it in the saddlebags, as well as the empty wine bottle and glasses. Haruka packs up any left over food, her towel and silverware.
"Yeah I do feel better, thanks bro..." Erin snorts and rolls her eyes as she puts the saddlebags back onto Vlad.
"You act like I went out of my way to do something. Brother you don't need to thank me for every little thing. I am your big brother it's my job to take care of you, and I love my job..." Erin ruffles Haruka's hair getting a grumbling snort from the smaller woman as Erin grabs Vlad's reins walking up the hill Haruka with James behind her.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Setsuna and Michiru watch the pair carefully from the forest cover, the two coming into view with their horses to the top of the hill where they had left their clothes.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Beef Wellington ok for dinner...." Erin pauses for a moment Haruka stopping across from her.
"Yeah that would be fine...." Haruka pauses and looks around. "Where are our clothes?"
"I don't know there was no wind or wildlife around..."
"You think someone took them?" Erin scratches the back of her head.
"Who would do that?"
"We would...." Setsuna and Michiru step out of the woods holding the two's clothes, Haruka instantly ducks behind Erin to cover her nude form. Erin puts her arms across her chest.
"You would be..."
"Michiru Kaiou and Setsuna Meioh pleasure to meet you." Michiru extends her hand to Erin who looks down at it then back to Michiru.
"Ah well at least I know the names to put on the restraining order."
"Please excuse my friend she can be blunt some times..." Erin arches an eyebrow. I have heard her voice before...
"Erin these two came to the gate yesterday afternoon, they were trying to talk to us..." Erin grinds her teeth glaring down at the two women who swallow hard.
"Reporters...that is even worse...." Erin takes a step towards the two frighten women but Haruka holds her left wrist. "Brother..."
"That's it..."
"What?"
"She is it, the one with the aqua hair she is it..." Erin groans and throws her hands up in the air.
"Ah come on Haruka she is the first women you have seen in 13 years I am sure she looks goddess like." Haruka shakes her head leaning against Erin's back as she looks into Michiru's eyes.
"No Erin she is it, her beautiful eyes, alluring lips, fair skin innocent complexion. Her hair frames her features perfectly, as if the hands of god himself had personal sculpted her." Michiru turns bright red and looks at the ground I have never heard anyone say such.... romantic.... beautiful things about me like that.
Erin groans and relaxes the two women slowly do as well seeing the larger woman is no longer tense.
"You are absolutely no doubt in your mind sure she is your mermaid?"
"I would put my life on it...." Erin snort and grumbles.
"Fine, what do you want to do, other then get dressed." Erin quickly grabs the clothes from the still shocked women. She hands Haruka hers before she quickly slips on her boxers and pants.
"A well it is dinner time, maybe they can have dinner with us and I can get.... Michiru I believe she said to pose for me..." Erin grumbles as she steps aside from the now dressed Haruka and swings herself up onto Vlad's bareback, pulling her shirt over her head.
"Well at least I know why I smelt perfume earlier..." Haruka smiles offering a hand to the still flushed Michiru.
"Come my beautiful muse, you can ride back with me..." Michiru bites her bottom lip as Haruka helps her climb onto James and sits behind the saddle wrapping her arms around Haruka. Erin sighs, closing her eyes for a moment, before turning her attention to Setsuna.
"Come my lady please ride back with me, I do not take to strangers well. So please pardon my aggressiveness..." Setsuna smiles taking Erin's hand. Erin easily pulls her up to sit in front of her. Setsuna closes her eyes and leans back into Erin. God she is so warm, calm I could easily fall asleep.
Haruka turns her horse about slowly Michiru tightly hugging her waist and heads back to the house. Erin follows suit an odd look of confusion on her face as she looks down at the woman in front of her. Why does she feel so familiar? Why do I have this urge to turn her around and kiss here? Who is this woman?
