It's been a while ain't it? Hehe… sorry about the 'next Friday update' promise.
Nagihiko could barely comprehend what had just happened several seconds before. He saw a flash of the all too familiar golden blond hair and he uttered her name. Her name bounced around in his head like a rubber ball. Rima, Rima, Rima, Rima. It echoed, sounding like the seductive singing of a muse in his head, drowning his thoughts with a delectable song. It had been such a long time since he uttered the angel's name. He didn't deserve to though. The melody drifted away, leaving him with bitter thoughts.
The moment Nagihiko snapped out of his pleasant thought's, he was greeted by the backside of Rima, sashaying away from him with attitude in every step. His eyes were locked onto her until he could no longer see her out the double doors of the hotel.
Zzzzzzzzzzt.
His phone vibrated. It was Kukai; asking where he was and that Utau was getting impatient.
"I better get going," he muttered then continued on the double doors, the same where the angel had just walked through.
There wasn't much effort in walking several blocks to the ramen shop and it only took Nagihiko a matter of minutes to reach his destination.
"Where on Earth have you been?" Utau scolded Nagihiko for being several milliseconds late.
"Sorry, I was back at the hotel. I… uh… got caught up with something." He scratched the back of his head, acting for all the world that the 'something he got caught up with' could've been having trouble with putting his pants on.
Kukai just shrugged at his excuse then gave his order to the man behind the counter followed by Nagihiko's order.
"So how've things been? How's Ayaka?" The violet-haired male began the conversation.
"Aya's just fine; I hope. Utau wanted to take her with but I suggested it would be a bad influence on her to be around so many adults, so she's at home with our sitter." Kukai said, occasionally receiving angry looks from Utau. "How are thing's going with you?"
"I'm fine, great actually." He started with optimistic tone. "I've done about twenty concerts in the last month in a total of ten countries. I also just published my first album. Not to toot my own horn, but life looks like smooth sailing from here." He smiled at the thought of life being easy, no worries at all.
"You should settle down then," Kukai's suggestion was just enough to make him shit a brick.
Settle down? He had forgotten about relationships, he was so caught up in his career that he didn't have times for relationships. Other than the blind dates his friends would set him up on, he didn't have a girlfriend; he barely had a friend who was a girl. "You think so?" the advice from his best friend was the best on the planet.
"Definitely yes. The reunion's tonight, you should talk up some people there. I'll even be your wingman." Kukai drove a hard bargain.
"Yeah, maybe you're right." Nagihiko agreed with a smile on his face to assure his friend.
4:28 PM
Rima examined herself in the mirror one last time, not to be narcissistic, but to make sure everything was flawless. She did look pretty though. Her hair fell down her back in feathered curls and her nude makeup was just enough to make her caramel eyes look like liquid gold. She thought she was a bit overdressed for a reunion but who cared. She wasn't exactly one to follow rules when it came to attire. The little black dress that clung to her connected at the back of her neck and was adorned with a satin peach colored bow around her waist. It was cute but that's not why Rima liked the dress. It was tight, but not tight enough to choke her; it was, however, tight enough to hug her in all the right places.
After taking one last look in the mirror, she slipped her feet into a pair of jet black peep-toe pumps then strutted out the door
4: 34 PM
Nagihiko had just finished buttoning the last button on his collared shirt when he realized that it was time to leave for the reunion. He took a quick glance in the mirror and shrugged, he didn't look too bad. His white collared shirt was casually tucked into his dark blue jeans and his hair trailed down his back in its usual fashion. He shrugged once more and headed out the door of his room.
4: 37 PM
"Come on!" Rima huffed and began tapping her foot in front of the elevator impatiently. A half a minute later the elevator light dinged and Rima bolted inside followed by her frantically pressing the lobby button and the 'close doors' button.
Instead of going down like she'd wanted, the elevator droned upward causing Rima to throw her head back and yell. "Ugh!" she groaned. She rolled her eyes at the imbecilic machinery and pulled out her phone to pass the time, completely ignoring who stood before the elevator when the doors slid open.
4: 39 PM
Patient as ever, Nagihiko stood before the elevator without a care. He began to ponder who he would encounter at his reunion. Amu of course, he couldn't wait to see her and all the things she'd accomplished. Kukai of course and Tadase. He smiled at a reunion of all of his friends. But Rima had slipped his mind momentarily then slipping back in just as the elevator doors rolled open.
"Oh God," Nagihiko involuntarily moaned when he saw the figure in the elevator. He'd seen Rima in just about anything, but this. He'd never seen her in something so… tight... or short.
Her eyes shot up and her expression went from blank to furious.
4:40 PM
"You have got to fucking kidding me!" Rima yelled loud enough for everyone on the twentieth floor to hear her. "Of all the people to be an elevator with, it had to be you!" she said 'you' as if Nagihiko was a piece of gum stuck to the bottom of her shoe. "I'm taking the stairs," she muttered and headed for the doors, but it was just her luck that they closed before she could get off.
"S-sorry," Nagihiko only said sorry because he didn't want to get strangled by the small girl.
Rima said nothing, she just leaned against the railing that lined the elevator end gave him the most menacing look she could muster up. Before her look could pierce through the back of his head, the elevator lurched and the florescent lights flickered. The metal box tilted once more and stopped suddenly causing Rima to land flat on her ass.
"Uh…" She heard Nagihiko speak in the darkness. "I think we're stuck."
"No shit Sherlock," Rima spat back, slapping her forehead in the blackness.
How was that? Good… bad? SOMEONE TELL ME! I need… and I mean I NEED reviews!
Please…
