Raimundo I miss you.
Raimundo I need you.
Raimundo, where are you?

Kimiko stared into the depths of her empty mailbox. It had been this way for days; her father's mail was forwarded immediately to his business headquarters which left little to no mail to end up in their mailbox at home. Kimiko wanted to throw something in there, literally use her bare hands to sculpt the mailbox into a morphed shape of some sort, all because Raimundo would not write her back.

It had been four whole weeks away from the temple,
three weeks and five days since she wrote a letter to Raimundo,
leaving three weeks and five days of endless waiting for something in return.

The dark haired girl turned on her heel and wandered back up her driveway. She had woke up tangled in thoughts, her hair tangled and ratty, the sheets tangled around her body. Last night was a blur of business men, and their suit clad sons commenting on her made up beauty, and all she did was nod and deny dances because Raimundo's touch would be tainted if any of them got their hands on her. Her father was disappointed in that but he never thought about how disappointed she was that two days after she returned home, he returned to his private jet and left for another business trip. Keiko was over, she was still sleeping, and Kimiko should have been. It had been a late night but how could she sleep when all she could think about was a damned letter.

"Kimiko what are you doing?" Keiko asked, walking down the stairs, her dress hugging her curves, eye make up finding its place everywhere but her eyes.

Keiko didn't know how deeply Kimiko missed Raimundo, she just knew they were dating, but to Keiko, dating was a fling, especially when it involved a boy halfway across the country. Keiko had danced like a demon, her hands touched various shoulders, her smile dancing for somebody new every few minutes, but Keiko didn't have somebody she was in love with, nobody to wait around for, nobody to call hers.Kimiko had grown up, she was seventeen now, although at the moment she didn't look much older then fifteen. Her make up as well was down her face, finding its home in her pores, and the red cocktail dress that was so smooth last night, was now wrinkled and tattered, because god knows she rolled around while she was trying to sleep. But that didn't change her mind set, she still had a temper, that would never leave, and at the moment it was hotter and fierier then it had been in a long, long, time, but she had fallen for somebody, and that somebody changed her mind on a lot of things.

"I was just seeing if anything came in the mail," Kimiko wiped at her eyes, "Just because you know…" she shrugged and walked towards the kitchen knowing Keiko would follow.

"Oh…" Keiko nodded and followed just how Kimiko knew she would, "You look exhausted."

Kimiko laughed, "You do too!"

Keiko smiled and sat down at the table resting her head on her arms, "It was a LONG night…" she smirked, "You can only flirt so much before suffering severe exhaustion."

Kimiko shook her head and grabbed two one of a kind mugs from the cupboard, pouring some seemingly old but still hot coffee into them and setting one in front of Keiko, "I'm sure it did…"

"You wouldn't know because you denied every stud that came your way…" Keiko joked, cupping her hands around the coffee cup and smirking up at her beautiful friend, the one who looked so innocent and so happy but had so much buried underneath her.

Kimiko shook her head and took a sip of the drink, pursing her lips as the liquid splashed her tongue, "You just wouldn't get it…" She got up from her chair and grabbed the sugar dumping a large amount to her cup.

"Oh that's right…" Keiko said raising an eyebrow, "You're in looooveee!"

Kimiko blinked and stared down at her coffee. She was in love, too bad it seemed Raimundo wasn't, and if he wasn't… then the fact she was meant little to nothing.

A/N: Sooo there was my first chapter, if anybody reads this; I'll defiantly update it sooner then later, sorry for how short it is, it'll get longer as time progresses. Review?!? :)
