The night sky was so calm and the bright moon was slowly peeking from the clouds. Billions of stars were scattered, shining with sparkling light. It was a peaceful night.
She was standing on the dusky part of the garden way, in front the sullen fountain.
"This place bores me to hell," she thought.
Her ponytailed hair swayed with the frosty breeze. She crossed her arms on her chest and embraced herself when she felt the chill against her exposed shoulders. She was wearing a cute black and pink thin-strapped bouffant dress. "I have to get out of this place before I catch co---"
"Rima." It was his rich baritone voice calling her. He was standing near the said fountain, just a few paces across her.
"Shiki." She walked towards him and squeezed his hand. "Can we get inside now? It's so cold out here." She bit her lower lip to stop it from quivering.
He took off his coat jacket and put it on her shoulders. "Here you go," he whispered.
"Thank you…" She adjusted it on her body. "So… can we get in now?"
"Not just yet, Rima."
"But…" Her words hung in the air when bright lights suddenly burst out from everywhere. It was as if all the stars just fell down from the sky.
"Wow!" she said under her breath. She couldn't believe her eyes. The fountain, which she always thought the most boring thing on that place, seemed to be the most magnificent view she had ever seen as it glittered with brilliant lights.
She turned her attention to Shiki who was now in front of her. He dropped down on his knees and pulled something from his pocket. It was a cute ebony box. A box!
"No way! That's…" she gasped.
The world seemed to stop spinning and her heart seemed to stumble, fumble and tumble when he motioned to open the box. It revealed a diamond ring. He took the ring out of the little box and put it on her ring finger. It fitted her finger perfectly.
"Rima, will you be my EVERYDAY?"
She was overwhelmed. He just proposed to her! "Do I have a choice? You already put it on my finger," she teased.
He stood up and scratched his head before giving her a sheepish smile. "I'm sorry. I was so worried, all my plans had tangled in my head."
She moved closer to him. Then she tiptoed and wound her arms around his neck. She moved her face away from his when their lips were just an inch away from each other. He gave her a quaint look.
"I don't care if your proposal was not that perfect. You're all I want," she whispered.
He pulled her in. But she paused and put her forefinger on his lips as if stopping him from kissing her. "And I don't mean to tempt you," she mockingly whispered with her eyes glittering in happiness.
"Oh, if you must know, you're tempting me so much though you never meant it. Just let me kiss you already." She readily accepted his lips.
He scooped her up the ground when their lips parted.
"What---"
"I thought you want to get in already?" He gave her a devilish smirk.
"Do you want to sleep already? I want to spend more time with you." She heard him whispered near her ear.
She was still in his arm when they arrived in their room.
"What are we going to do then?"
"You want to know?" He almost kissed her ear as he whispered. His hot breath sent shivers down her spine. She suppressed a smile as he carefully put her down the soft cushion---
"Aaawww!" she screamed in pain when she fell off the bed. She opened her eyes and saw nothing but the stiff ceiling of their room. "Was that a dream?" She quickly covered her mouth when she remembered Shiki was there, too. Oh crap! I'm so loud!
She winced as she kneaded her aching back. "Huh?" Shiki was not on the bed when she got up of the carpeted floor. Her eyes widened and she gasped, "Oh no! What time is it?" She stopped to panic when she found the clock on the nightstand. Six-o-three, it read. She sighed, "I thought I was late for the shoot. Anyways, where's Shiki? It's still early." She looked around.
She saw a broadsheet on the nightstand. She got curious so she reached it from her bed and started flipping the pages. One of the pictures there caught her attention. Shiki was on it. Beside him were Ayako and a girl. She moved her eyes to the bold letters above the picture. The Most Sought-After Bachelor… Engaged?, the title read. The side of her lips curved into a smile. "So… that was not a dream. Or was it?" she asked herself, muddled. She continued to scan the article. "No. I'm into someone right now. She's working as a model, too. And I enjoy her company. But, I'M NOT YET ENGAGED…" he said on one of his interviews. She didn't know why she felt something stabbed her heart. She quickly went to the bathroom and hastily dumped the poor broadsheet in the trash can.
...
"Oi! Rima!" She walked towards Ruka who was waving her hand to her. She looked at her for a moment before turning to the delightful foods on the buffet table.
"Here's your coffee, Ruka," she heard Kain say, handing a creamy cup of coffee to Ruka.
Ruka motioned to thank him and grab Kain's wrist. She read the time on his watch. "Oh, Rima, it's still six-fifty-three in the morning. Hear that? SIX-FIFTY-THREE.What made you wake up this early?"
She rolled her eyes.
"It must be the end of the world!" Ruka mockingly wailed.
"Duh. Stop talking nonsense, Ruka." She turned to Kain. "Can you make a cup of coffee for me?"
She saw the two of them looked at each other with an addled look on their faces. "O-okay." Though he was so confused, Kain moved to get Rima another cup a coffee.
She felt Ruka move close to her and mumbled, "Have you read the front page today?"
She raised a brow. So you were the one to put that damn broadsheet on my side table? she asked in her mind.
"I think she looks good," Ruka continued."But I think you're way better than her for Shiki…"
She just let her gab and gab. I don't know that gal and I don't care about her. She just made herself busy tasting some foods.
"… and it's my first time to meet a girl who fetches and drives for a guy. That was so---"
"A girl what?!" she yapped. Everyone on the dining hall turned to her. She lowered her voice and turned to her, hissing, "What did you say?"
Ruka covered her lips with her fingers and gave her an innocent look. "Did I say something?"
She rolled her eyes before shaking her on her shoulders. "Yes! You were twaddling a while ago!"
She smirked. "Which one do you want me to tell you?"
"Oh come on, Ruka! The one you just said," she squeaked.
"Oh that?" she giggled. "I said it was my first time to meet a girl who fetches and drives for a guy."
"Who's that girl? She fetched Shiki this morning? Why did---"
"Whoa! Stop asking a lot of questions. You're ranting already. Let me just do the talking and tell you what happened. That girl went here this morning. She said Ayako sent her to fetch Shiki. And… ah… what's her name again?" she paused, trying to remember something. Then she snapped. " Oh! Her name is Chaya. She's a model, too." She took a sip of her coffee.
She remembered what Shiki said on one of his interviews. I'm into someone right now. She's working as a model, too. And I enjoy her company. She could hear Shiki's voice repeatedly saying those words inside her head. She stopped thinking of those things when she heard a snap near her ear.
"Hey, Rima. Are you okay?" It was Kain.
"Ah, yes."
"Here's your coffee. Are you sure you're okay? You look pale."
"Yes. Thanks for this." She took a sip of her coffee. The feeling of the warm liquid passing though her throat made feel her a bit calm.
She saw Takuma heading to them. "Good morning guys! What's up?" He turned to her. "Rima, you're early today huh? What made the 'sleeping beauty' wake up this early?"
"Her prince left with a witch," Ruka mocked.
"Oh, that's bad. Anyways, that looks tasty." He was talking about her coffee.
She unmindfully handed it to him. "Take it."
"Gee, thanks. Are you sure?"
"Yes, it's okay." Then she walked passed them.
She heard Ruka call her before she could make her way out of the dining hall. "Don't you want to eat breakfast first before leaving?"
She shook her head lightly and waved her hand. "No thanks. I gotta go now."
