Chapter 2- Nishikino Maki

-Come down in this instant, they are already outside!-

-Yes just give me a minute!-

-Do you want me to help you with your zipper miss?- The maid had been watching me with a gentle grin on her face, I was really struggling with this new dress my mother bought for me just this morning.

-Uh yes, please, if you may…- Even if all my life I've lived with maids that helped me to dress up, it was still embarrassing.

When she zipped up the dress I looked into the mirror. Not too bad. My mother had a marvelous sense of fashion for getting me really beautiful outfits, and this wasn't an exception. I was wearing a gorgeous sleeveless black dress that ended just above my knees; it made my legs appear longer than what they really were. Skintight and hugging the right places of my body, accentuating my waist. And last but not least the top half made entirely of black lace, just where my breasts were, making them look perfect.

The maid placed an exquisite silver necklace around my bare shoulders, and finally I decided to wear just a simple pair of black high heels, not so tall, I was already pretty tall.

-Maki! Are you going down or not?- Ugh my father surely liked to scream.

-Good luck and have a nice night miss- the maid said as I made my way downstairs to the living room.

I didn't even bother to answer, and I know it was discourteous but I wasn't in a good mood.

-Oh finally she's here- my father said with an ironic tone in his voice

-Oh Maki, looking gorgeous as always- said a young man who was beside my father as he kissed the back of my hand.

-Hello Katsuo, and good evening Igarashi-san- I said bowing a little to the other older man standing beside this annoying young man.

Igarashi-san was a business partner of my father; he was responsible of all the medic equipment that was imported to Japan for my family hospitals. But I always had a feeling of uneasiness in his presence, as if he had an ill will and a dark semblance. Yes, my family owned a large chain of respectable hospitals, if not the best, in Japan. And some other businesses that I never cared about. And the young man with the name Katsuo was his brute son. He was older than me by just a year, I turned 18 last April.

We've met since children but I've never really liked him. He was always rude, spoiled, loutish, and he thought that he was the best and most manly man in the world. He was quite attractive yes, I'm not going to deny it, but his attitude was horrible.

And I was stuck with him for the rest of the night.. how upsetting. But I was accustomed to this. Every single time our fathers had a work meeting I had to be with him. His father said that, as I was the only heiress to the chain of hospitals, I had to get a man to be able to run them properly. And who better man than his son right? How ignorant. And my father, well he just stayed in silence.

Anyway, Katsuo wanted to go to this expensive restaurant that almost every wealthy respected people went to. I've gone a couple times but I didn't like that atmosphere. Full of people I didn't care of. He spent the whole car ride telling me about his last conquest, and how he went partying and ended really drunk, just a boring talk. We arrived at the restaurant without incidents, which really surprised me, I think he already had a lot of alcohol in his system.

We entered and he asked if we could take seat in the bar. As always he just wanted to keep drinking. The restaurant had this elegant and classy aura with a romantic lighting and sumptuous décor, full of well dressed people and waiters and waitress always at your service, with silver candelabras and rose centerpieces, white table clothes and of course the best glassware and flatware, just another common fine dining atmosphere. The bar was situated just in front of the kitchen door, leaving at your sight the waiters that were bringing your food.

-Hey lady! Two Margaritas! – He yelled at the female bartender.

-Yes sir, two margaritas coming.- She was obviously faking her smile, he was just so rude at her.

-So, Maki, I've been thinking, you are already old enough to accept your feelings for me, so I already decided that I'm going to leave all the other women that want to be with me, just for you to be able to have me. - Is he serious? I'm guessing he is really wasted now.

-Oh are you really going to do that just for me?- I don't think he understood my sarcastic voice tone.

-Of course I will! A magnificent woman like you, deserves to be with me, a great man, willing to give you a wonderful life by my side- Jackass, moron, stupid man.

-A great man, if you say so…- He didn't catched my words, or he decided to ignore them, because he just kept talking.

-And you know I have this great penthouse where we can go later…- There he goes again, trying to seduce me.

-Oh really? And why would I want to go with you? – I said while sipping of my margarita. Really good.

-Well because you accepted coming here with me and because I'm paying for your drinks…- He can't be more of a jerk, can he?

-Oh what a gentleman you are. I accepted because our fathers were in a work meeting and needed some space, and don't worry I'll pay for my drink- I am really annoyed now. If he is an asshole all the time, he can get worse when he drinks.

-Oh C'mon Maki! Are you serious!? Why are you being so rude!-

-It's Nishikino-san for you, you are the one being rude, and stop yelling, you are already drunk after all the whisky you had at my house- I said calmly, I was not going to allow him to get me mad.

-Oh forget it you are just a brat like you've always been, How can you reject me after all these years huh, even our fathers want us together, you will like me even if you don't want it you, you little bitch!- Oh no, he just didn't said that, I'm going to…

- Excuse me sir, you will have to leave this place, you are disturbing the costumers- Eh? Oh that was the bartender. ¿Did she listen to everything? What a nosy and annoying girl. She looked younger than me but she wanted to act like a grown up. I've never seen her before in here, she must be new, ¿Why does a place like this would hire someone like her? She was wearing the same girl's suit like all of the waitress and an apron, her black hair with a twin-tailed hairstyle with two red ribbons, very childish I must say, she seemed to be a short girl, with his body not as voluptuous as mine, and red deep eyes just as pyrope gemstones. I've never seen eyes like hers, they were sort of captivating… B-but Nevertheless! She didn't have to mind in my conversation!

-I will leave this place when I want to, stupid kid!- Katsuo had a point there…

-Oh ok then I'll just call security…-

-Fuck you, I'll go now. - Oh great, Was he going to leave me here seriously? It's all her fault! I was really pissed now, and I hope he was getting a taxi, if my father knew I let him drive like that he was going to get mad indeed.

-What an asshole..- She mumbled.

-You didn't have to do that you know- Yes, I know she had to do that, but now I had to get a taxi to get home and I was in an absolutely bad mood. I had to blame someone and she was the only person there.

-What? He was yelling at you ¿And you are only saying that to me? With a thank you is enough you know- Oh How insolent she was! Well, she had a point, but, as I said I'm pretty angry right now, and I have a quite big pride so of course I wasn't going to say thank you.

-I had it under control, you should mind your own business- I finally looked at her beaut… I mean just her eyes, I just looked at her eyes.

-Yeah sure whatever you say, you're welcome Nishikino- san~ -

-You…- How dare she!

-Yazawa- san! Your shift is over now, you can go home!- A man's voice didn't let me finish. So her last name was Yazawa huh. I've heard that name before…

-Ugh finally!- She said as she undressed of her apron, Why is she doing that in here, she surely didn't have manners. Oh right, I had to pay the drinks.

-Uhm, how much is it… of the drinks- I asked a little bit embarrassed. I don't know why I was embarrassed… but then she said something I definitely wasn't expecting at all, and now I had a reason to be truly embarrassed.

-Don't worry, is on the house!- D-did she just winked at me!? What is wrong with her!? She then walked fast to the kitchen, I assume to change her clothes and go home.

I quickly got up my seat and went to the entrance to get a taxi. My face was so heated! I spent the ride of the taxi and the rest of the night, thinking of that strange red orbs, that childish face that looked at me hours ago..

I had to get back to that restaurant the sooner I could. The way she looked at me made me feel like in a movie scene.. I-I am just curious don't get the wrong idea.
