New side of love
The light shined through the shop's window, I gazed deeply, out of thought, and of work. I trailed off. My dreams of being loved by an unknown stranger, grew faint and yet in a way more detailed. The person's eyes fixed upon me plunging me into there collage of colors. The strands of their hair covered half there eyes but I could still see the haunting glow, a sign of pain, lust, and love growing inside.
I saw a glimpse of myself reflecting on the liquid floor. I was paralyzed as I saw myself tears in my eyes and ragged clothes. My dream grew blurry but I tried my best so it would not leave me I yelled "who are you?" silence still hung in the air "what do you want from me?" the figures eyes slowly closed almost as to mock me.
I heard deep breaths coming from the figure; they did not help determine the gender of the person yet gave me a hint. A drop of light fell from nowhere between us, the cool reflecting glass like floor just tossed waves at each other.
The figures eyes slowly opened; first I saw many different images. Painting them in front of me, soon two pictures appeared a man and a woman they seemed recognized yet I had no clue of which they were. To my left stood a beautiful woman, to my left stood a breathtaking man. The figure's eyes still not completely open twitched once more and another drop fell, this time it landed between the two pictures this time a picture of me appeared and as the second tide came to view I held hands with the man and the water began to fill the pictures and as all three were filled the woman drowned, but as my picture grew smudgy I saw the man's hand pull me upwards.
The pictures collapsed water poured everywhere. I couldn't move my legs, they were numb, my eyes and body transfixed on this unearthly figure. Those eyes piercing into my mind, almost as though they were looking into my soul.
The wave approached and I fell to my knees, the wave pulled me down onto the floor I plunged into darkness slowly descending to nothingness. One speck of light still remained; my body was thrust towards it. The tiny speck came into view I could see those eyes glancing at the two picture figures holding hands descending towards the darkness. There lips moved but I could not hear and yet I understood.
Sweet voices filled my head as I heard the two "I'm scared" cried my figure "I'll be here to protect you and help you through this" said the other figure, sweet masculinity in his voice. Shivers ran down my spine as they clutched each other and prepared for the worst and yet before the light faded from there bodies their lips touched and stayed with each other until the light was no more.
Sparks appeared and began to trace a figure, they finished and I saw those eyes once more, this time he spoke he had the same voice as the man with my other figure, the man who kissed me, he spoke gently he told me "soon our paths will cross and you will your true self finally" What was he saying "I don't understand" I screamed "soon you will" was his soft reply.
"now awaken" "I said-" here his voice began to change and sounded like my boss at the mall "GET UP SORA!!!!" the darkness soon became light and the man became my boss and I realized why did I fall asleep on the job again I'm sure to be fired now. Hi my name is Sora Fujamaki, I live here in Tokyo, Japan, I am currently 23 and living here by myself, and I have long brown hair and small cute nose.
I awaited my punishment as I lifted my head with squinted eyes. As I awaited the pain and shouting of my boss, I yawned and tried to fix my hair, "What's up Kairi" This is Kairi Hosana, she is my boss at the Ramen Ramen store here at the main mall in Tokyo. She has pinkish hair and a cute adorable face, Once upon a time I was in love with her.
"What the hell are doing falling asleep on the job" yelled Kairi "Sorry I didn't catch any sleep last night." I lied, I had slept like a baby that night but I didn't want to tell her it was because I couldn't stand my job.
"Well what time is it?" I asked sleepily. "It's about two hours till closing time, you slept most of the day" replied Kairi. "Alright it's almost over" I laughed "Well I guess so but don't you like spending time with me we never have a chance to talk and when we do you're always just spacing out …. Hey are you listening to me?"
"Oh what sorry I was spacing out when I saw those cinnamon roles" I drooled
"whatever just get back to work or ill fire you!" she yelled "yea yea keep your pants on Kairi" Oh no great now I'm in deep trouble why did I have to go and do that no now I'm probably going to get a salary reduction Jesus Christ I cant believe the day I'm having. I wonder if that dream will come back, it was kind of scary but I want to see him again.
I whispered "who was he…." "Who was who Sora?" "Oh sorry I didn't know I was talking out loud… well lets get back to work those noodles don't sell themselves you know"
I returned to my post but the thought never left my head who was he what did he want and why was the figure that looked like me kissing that man. "What does all this mean?" "Hey Sora its closing time get your butt over here!"
"HAHAHA coming" We closed up the shop and left for home. its Friday I guess ill have to find some plans this weekend I have nothing to do, well at least I can rest since I don't have work.
"This walk home is so brutal, I have to get a bike or something" I gasped. Finally I can see my apartment it's about time I should get a bike or something. That strange dream keeps on popping into my head, does it mean anything, nah I doubt it, probably a bad dream from all the free ramen. I stared up at my apartment and sighed "I guess this is home."
I unlocked the door and slowly came in. As I came in I took off my shoes and dropped to the sleeping mat, my head began to drift towards sleep but one little annoying beeping kept me awake
"sigh, what is it now" I aimlessly grabbed the phone and knocked down the receiver.
I sneaked a peek from my crusty eyelids and saw I had missed a call from Kairi. "What does she want know, she talks to me everyday can she just wait until work?"
I grabbed the phone and clicked to check my messages. The phone began to dial the messaging system and sounded.
"Beeeeep" "You have one new message to check your messages press 1." I pressed the 1 button and awaited the sound of Kairi.
"Hey sleepy head answer your phone, Sora answer, Sora please come on answer the phone." "Kairi why do you bug me so?" "Well I guess you're still not home you should try to walk faster you know, get some exercise and work off some of that extra fat"
What the hell is she talking about I can see my own ribs. "Well anyway I was wondering if you would like to go to the nearest coffee shop and get a cappuccino. Or you want to go and get some sushi at Kyoto's sushi bar and grill."
What the hell does Kairi want with sushi and coffee? "Well if you want to I'm going to be there in a little while around 6 o'clock" I looked at the clock "It's already 5:30 I'll guess I go"
I lifted myself from the mat and took some time to recover my strength I groaned and got my shoes from the door. I guess I should have called Kairi and told her I was going o well I'll just show up at the stupid restaurant and see her.
I saw the flashing neon lights of the store and went in. As the door opened the smell of fish and spices came to my nose, the spices made my eyes water but I managed to find Kairi sitting at a two seated table looking at her cup with a glum expression.
I rolled my eyes as I smiled and awaited Kairi's verbal beatings. I sat down and just closed my eyes waiting for her voice to become nails on the back of my head. But nothing just the sound of other people laughing and chefs yelling orders in the back.
This silence confused me I slowly lifted up my head and saw Kairi with tears in her eyes. I practically jumped out of my seat "what's wrong?" I cautiously asked.
"Oh nothing … just the fact that all men are pigs and that I'll never find love!" o great not this again. "So what happened this time Kairi? Have another fight with Jake?" Jake is Kairi's on and off boyfriend they have so many problems I don't see why she just dumps his ass, but no she had to choose him over me whatever.
"For your information yes we did okay!" I sighed and prepared a speech especially for her "I still don't see why your still with him if everyday you find he has something wrong or is cheating on you Jesus Christ Kairi he's wrecking your life just dump him … and don't give me that "I love him" crap because I know deep inside you don't really care about him and he doesn't care about you either!"
oops that's a little bit too much info for a girl who's crying ouch, here comes the water works. "Sora how could you, I'm already sad as it is but now you come here and start saying stuff CMON!" she yelled I desperately found the answer to her crying and my sweet tooth.
"Kairi come one let's go to the ice cream shop and gets some chocolate." I replied. "No" she said "come one I know you want some" I nudged her legs persistently
"Think of some rocky road or some vanilla wouldn't that be nice right now" I said in a childish voice. Kairi pouted and replied "yea sure why not, but first we have to eat what I ordered for us come on it just got here" At that moment a waiter came and served us two cucumber salads and two chicken skewers I looked up to thank the waiter and my words stopped
"Thank y…" my words had failed when I saw the waiter's eyes they were his they were the eyes of the man of my dreams the one who had haunted me all day today.
He smiled and just gazed at me saying "No problem" he winked at me and left towards the table beside us. I was frozen there in time when suddenly Kairi's words awakened me.
"Wow Sora I never knew guys were your thing" sweat began to gather around my face I nervously replied "What are you talking about Kairi?" she smugly replied "I saw the way you two looked at each other." Pointing at the waiter "Whatever" I said digging back into my food.
"You can't hide it I saw the way your face lit up when you saw him … admit it you like him." she said "I barely even know him how am I supposed to like him?"
"So you admit that you would be interested?" "I guess so… look just get out of my hair Kairi what do you expect he is cute and I've never had a relationship with a guy so, I guess you can say I would give it a try… wait why am I saying this, look he's just a guy ok maybe I like him maybe I don't ok whatever just back off."
She just smugly smiled. "And what happened weren't you crying your eyes out, besides the only way I started was because he reminded me of this guy I saw in my dream." I said. "Oh so you've had fantasies about guys have you?" she smugly said.
"It was just one dream Kairi calm down, damn talk about perverted" we both smiled and kept on eating our diner "So you really think he's cute don't you Sora?"
"I guess" I shyly said. A big smile came upon Kairi's face and I feared the worst.
"Waiter!!!" she yelled Oh god what is Kairi going to do now, seeing at how its Kairi I guess she'll try to seduce him…that bitch, she knows I was drooling over him.
