"Off Stage"

Chapter 10: Disaster! Disaster!

"hmm… the food is indeed delicious!," Ren was surprise to discover that the quality of food and even ambience of the place is not bad at all. The place is a little hidden from the eye of the public so only a few customers were there, mostly celebrities and business man like herself and the man she is with.

Fiaggiarro's is a small but cozy Italian restaurant a few blocks away from Iwaki's studio. The exterior is not that extravagant but the interior will give you an impression that you were in some private place. The ambience is cozy but classy enough. Very Italian. Most of the tables were just for two person and a few accommodate up to four persons only.

"I'm glad you like it. I like this place because it gives the customers enough privacy, as you can see, the tables are far enough from each other," said Iwaki before taking the lasagna in his mouth. "The food is good too!," he added chewing contentedly.

"oh.. heheh, I thought you're just in the mood for some Italian food."

"Ahh, not at all… besides they also serve Japanese food here…," answered Iwaki smiling.

"Actually, I'm here to talk business involving my sister. To tell you the truth, I never knew she befriended a well-known actor. She's been quite a pain in the family's neck and I think that fact is a no secret to everyone. My family has been constantly the favorite topic in the social and lifestyle magazine and newspaper."

"Indeed, actually Elie and I has been just friend for not very long time ago. I happen to saw her in not so good condition and decided to help her. At first I didn't thought that she's a Kakushita - ," Iwaki was cut short by Ren.

"Yeah, that's Elie, she's not very Kakushita. She seemed to hate her own blood…," Ren sign. "But that's not why I'm here… I never want to disappoint my little sister and so I played my part when she said she'd introduce me to you. But I believe that you believe I'm not that easy to be fooled. Most of all I believe that you know how I don't want my sister to be hurt, any form of hurt for that matter."

Iwaki stared for a moment at the girl whose staring back at him. Amused by her strong aura and pretty face just like Elie, he now realized their strong resemblance. The only different is that Elie seemed to be like a child and always needed to be cared of. Weak and gentle like a true princess whereas her sister's emitting an aura of determination and power, like a queen in full reign. "so very much alike but so very much different," he thought, a little smile forming in the corner of his lips.

~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~O~

"WTF?! I don't know yet what to do with the pest in our house and yet another pest is bugging my Iwaki?!."

If glare could kill, surely the poor girl next to Iwaki would drop death in an instant.

"Iwaki-san… do you detest me that much?... I won't give up that easy you know? I have bet my whole career just to be with you and I will not letting go of you!" Katou's expression grew dark as he dialed a number in his mobile phone.

------------

Iwaki was startled by the vibration of the mobile phone in his pocket. He looked at the screen and saw that it's Katou that's calling him. "Please excuse me for a while, Ren-san…" and with that, he headed to the men's room.

------------

Katou being in the corner watching the two, upon seeing Iwaki enter the men's room, stand and followed the older man.

------------

Iwaki was about to press the "answer button" when the line was cut. Then suddenly a man from his back grab him by the waist to the corner-most, empty cubicle.

------------

"Katou!," Iwaki gasp, keeping his voice low. He was so surprise he didn't have to chance to notice Katou's gloomy face nor did he able to react when the younger man devoured his lips. "Hmpt.. Ka-," before he could finish anything he was again drowned in the hard, demanding kiss. His heart was beating so fast, suddenly he tasted salty, rusty liquid in his mouth mixing with their saliva. "Blood!" He's bleeding and yet Katou won't let go of him instead, the kiss went deeper, he could hardly breathe. Just when he was beginning to think he would die in asphyxiation, Katou let go of him. Then saw the desperation in Katou's pretty face. He also never fails to notice the slight reddening of his under eyes and the notable slumping of his face. "he grew thin…," he thought unconsciously touch the left cheek of his lover. Then Katou do the same to him, trailing his right cheer using the back of his hand and claiming his lips once again, this time gently and caressing.

------------

The moment he caught Iwaki, Katou wasn't able to stop himself, anger, jealousy, longing, lust… all bottle up inside him explode once Iwaki's lips touches him. He kissed him, deep and hard, violently demanding like a predator devouring his prey. A week, only gods knew how he manage to live that entire week without those lips. He tasted blood, his Iwaki's blood mixing with their saliva, making them one. He kissed him more…more deeply, more violently, more demanding until he couldn't breathe. "To die from a kiss is not a bad idea, at all, a dramatic way to bid goodbye to the world," he chuckle at his own thought. He left Iwaki's lips to take a good look at the man he loves the most and he could see from those onyx eyes he adores… worries. "What is that, Iwaki-san? Are you worried about me? Do you pity me? Why? Why can't you love me?". Again, he claims for those lips, carefully, ever so gently as to show him the deep of his love.

------------

Katou's lips started to travel from his lips to all over his face, to his earlobes where he lick and nibble it gently down to his neck. Iwaki cover his mouth with a hand to suppress the moan that's about to escape. Katou knew so well how to awaken his desire that even when his mind refuse his body response. It's useless to fight. A week, it's been a week since he last felt this sensation and he know he can't win the fight. His helpless when Katou touch him. He knows that now very well for no man or woman could satisfy him like Katou did. He gasps when he felt Katou's hand in his manhood while slightly sucking/biting the pinkish crown on his left chest.

"Ahh!... K-Katou…," he wasn't able to control his voice.

Katou smirk. He knows every sensitive spot of his Iwaki. The older man fell helpless in his hand and hearing him calling his name just like that never fails to heighten his desire.

"Shsss… lower your voice Iwaki-san, we don't want to attract unnecessary attention before we could finish our business, right?," Katou whisper with a voice so low licking and nibbling and hot breath feeling his earlobe. Iwaki shivers. He could feel his knees turn to liquid, he put his arms in Katou's shoulder for support.

"Heh…what? You can't stand any longer? Iwaki-san, sometimes I wonder if you've really a former AV actor…" Katou grin and kissed him not waiting for the reply. His hand began to move, stroking Iwaki expertly. Midway, Katou stop.

"D-don't stop!," Iwaki flustered. Shy about his own behavior but couldn't restrain himself at all. He's in his most vulnerable state and Katou knows that very well. Still…

"You want to finish it here? How about your date? You don't plan to keep her waiting for you that long do you?," Katou's devilish grin told Iwaki he's up to something.

"Go meet her and tell her you had an emergency. I'll be waiting at the parking lot, I have my car."

"I still have work after this," he glares at Katou. "So this is what he's up to. How dare him!"

"We'll be back before that…I'll drive you back," Katou insisted, pushing his luck. He knows Iwaki might curse him for this but he'll make sure to take all that anger away once they're in a more private place. Besides he know Iwaki cares too much of his public image.

"Katou, you know I can't be back at this state… what would like them to think of me?," Iwaki's face now crimson.

Katou couldn't stop the soft laugh. "Well then, I'll do it on your behalf… Iwaki-san stop turning red anymore you're being too cute we might end up locked in this cubicle for hours. Then we'll be both in trouble," he chuckle. "You can make it to the car right? Wait for me there, use the other door so she won't notice you," Katou smile triumphant.
