Sorry for the delay! Here's chapter seven!

The Next Morning…..

She awoke with a sleepy smile upon her face, she was totally ready for this wonderful day to start.

Xiao: *sits up and stretches* "The party is today! I wonder what type of dress mom has for me."

*stomach growls*

"Oh? I should eat breakfast before I head out."

After taking a shower she quickly dresses herself and fixes her hair then steps outside her door and walks towards the elevator, but since someone was already using it she stood there patiently. While she waited, Jin stepped out of his room and headed towards the elevator too, but he stops in his tracks when he sees her standing there. Suddenly, his heart starts beating fast as if it were going to pop out of his chest and his eyes become stuck on her.

Jin: "Xia…..."

Lixue (Desk Clerk): *giggles as she steps in front of him* "Hi Jin."

Jin: "What the…."

Lixue: *hugs his arm*"Did I surprise you?"

Jin: *glares down at her* "Let go."

Lixue: "Aww….why?"

Jin: "You're constricting the blood flow in my arm and it's making me uncomfortable."

Lixue: *loosen her grip* "Let's go on a date Jin!"

*The elevator door opens, and Xiao steps in and presses the button to go down to the dining room*

Jin: *breaks free of Lixue's grip and runs towards the elevator door.* "Wait!"

Unfortunately it was too late, the door closed before he could reach it. He lowers his head in frustration.

Lixue: "Were you trying to catch the elevator? Oh! I have an idea, let's go down and eat breakfast. I heard they'll be serving pancakes this morning! "

Jin: *slowly brings his angry gaze up to her eyes* "Didn't I tell you to call me Mr. Kazama? You're nothing but an employee to me. And quit clinging onto me all the time, it's annoying! I really hate repeating myself but since you're a slow learner I'll be forced to say this once again. I'm not planning on playing this flirting game with you, which means I'm NOT interested in dating someone like you."

Lixue: *stares into his eyes* "But…."

Jin: *glares* "Goodbye." *presses the elevator button and goes downstairs*

"Damn it, I couldn't reach her in time, all thanks to that annoying desk clerk….whatever her name was."

2 hours later…

*RING RING….RING RING*

Xiao: "Hi Mom!"

Mom: "Hey Sweetie! Hurry up; you know Mrs. Hui-ying is pretty impatient."

Xiao: *eyes widen* "Wait….please tell me I heard wrong. Did you just say Mrs. Hui-ying?! She's the one that will be taking care of me today?"

Mom: "She's really good at what she dose, that's why I hired her again."

Xiao" Ahh mother please, anyone but her!"

Mom: "Quit whining, you'll be even more beautiful than you already are when she's done with you!"

Xiao: "…Okay…."

Mom: "See you in a few minutes then, Bye bye."

Xiao: "Bye."

20 minutes later….

*As soon as she arrives, Mrs. Hui-ying smiles and pulls her into her beauty salon.*

Hui-ying: "Wow….look at my beautiful Xiaoyu."

(Xiao's thoughts)

Here comes the hug of death.

Hui-ying: "It's so nice to see you again, it's been too long child!" *wraps her arms around Xiao's petite figure and squeezes the life out of her with a hug*

*As Hui-ying lets her go, Xiao gasps for air.*

Xiao: *coughs* "Yeah….nice to see you too Mrs. Hui-ying."

Hui-ying: "Well let's not just stand here, I've got work to do! Come along Xiaoyu." *holds her hand and leads her into the main room of the large salon.*

"Sit down, and let me begin working on my masterpiece."

Xiao nods and sits down immediately and lets her begin primping her up. Hui-ying carefully picked out everything she wanted for Xiaoyu to wear to the party beforehand.

2 hours later….

Xiaoyu stood before her mother and Hui-ying, their eyes observed her carefully with amazement. It was as if they were looking at a celebrity.

Mom: "My baby…..Xiao, you're so BEAUTIFUL!"

Hui-ying: "As expected….you're truly a walking masterpiece Xiaoyu."

(She stood before them glossed and primped, her eyes were glossed with mascara, her lips were fuisha colored and her earrings were small pink jewels. Her hair was styled into a loose bun, w/ strands of curled hair hanging loose around her face along with her bangs. Her dress was a long fuisha colored cheongsam with flower/leaves designs all over it.)

Xiao: "Thank you so much, I really like the dress and everything."

Hui-ying: "You're very welcome my dear." *smiles*

Meanwhile…..

He finished his afternoon meal and headed back up to his room without being spotted by the annoying desk clerk.

Jin: *takes a deep breath in and out* "Finally….that annoying woman stopped showing herself before me. I don't think I can take it if she comes out of nowhere and grabs me again like she did this morning."

*checks watch*

"I better get ready for the party."

After taking a quick shower he opens the closet and picks out one of his formal suits. No more than 20 minutes later, he was all ready to go.

(He wore: A fitted light grey suit, a black skinny tie and black shoes. He spiked his hair as he usually did and sprayed on some cologne. So now, not only his looks were attractive, but his scent was too.)

After finishing up, he went downstairs, hopped into the back of his driver's car and started the journey to the party location.

Xiao was already there at her uncle's beautiful party; the room he rented was on near the top of the building so it had an amazing view of the city below. The area was enormous and the ceiling was sky high, the whole atmosphere was astonishing and splendid: the chandeliers, the buffet tables filled with expensive but fantastic food, the decorations and the people. She already greeted her uncle and half the guests there.

Xiao: *looks around* "I hope no one else stops me, I gotta get to that buffet table…Uncle Dao did a good job picking the chefs to make all this!"

*heads to the table without any distractions and starts filling her plate with scrumptious food.*

As he walks in he scans the room for Mr. Dao, soon enough he found him standing in a small group of friends and family. He approaches him with a friendly smile.

Jin: *Starts speaking Cantonese* "Hello Mr. Dao."

Mr. Dao: "Ah, why hello there Mr. Kazama." *smiles as he grabs Jin's hand and shakes it.* "I'm glad you could make it tonight."

Jin: "Yes sir, I wouldn't miss it for anything."

Mr. Dao: "That means a lot coming from you, I know you're a very busy man after all."

Within minutes, Jin and Mr. Dao got along right away, persuading him was too easy. It only took him 30 minutes to talk and win him over.

"I'm so glad I invited you to my party, you're quite fun to be around."

Jin: *slightly smiles* "Thank you."

After finishing up their conversation, he decides to enjoy himself and relax. As he walked past a group of ladies, they all smiled at him and commented on how prince-like he looked and how lucky his 'girlfriend' is. (Assuming he had one, since he was so good looking.)

Xiao: *still standing by the food table* "Mmmmm I'm in heaven, this cheese is splendid." *notices two girls chatting loudly while quickly making their way towards a group of girls that seem to be surrounding someone.*

Girl: "I heard he's pretty hot."

Girl 2: "I know, let's find out if what they say is true."

Xiao: *watches them join the crowd* "Hmm? I wonder who they're talking about." *takes a bite out of her sandwich*

Inside the circle of girls…..

(Jin's thoughts)

I can't be rude here…..Mr. Dao might think differently of me if he sees me being like that.

Jin: "Please excuse me ladies, I have to go somewhere."

Girl: "Aww, stay here with us and chat for a bit."

Jin: "Sorry I can't, I have to use the restroom."

Girl: "Okay, but please come back quickly."

Jin: "Sure." *quickly takes his leave and hides in the resteroom.*

Girl:"He's such a gentleman!"

Girls: "So handsome!"

Xiao: *looks up from her plate* "Did he already leave? Aww….I didn't get to see the pretty guy."

3 hours later….

Xiao: "I'm stuffed….I think I'm ready to go back to my room." *throws away plate and starts heading towards the elevator.*

Jin: *chatting with Mr. Dao* "I think I'll retire for the night, I really enjoyed myself here."

Mr. Dao: "Thank you for coming! We should schedule in a game of golf together sometime."

Jin: *nods* "That would be great."

*They say their goodbyes, then he departs from them and heads towards the elevator.*

When he arrives there, the only other person that was there waiting for the door to open was none other than Xiaoyu. He unknowingly stood behind her and waited patiently. As they waited, a group of people showed up and stood behind them waiting. A few seconds later the door finally opened, the group behind them crowded into the elevator, pushing Jin and Xiao into the corner. She stood against the corner/wall, and he stood facing towards her, with his hands against the walls (which prevented him from squishing her). He towered over her.

Jin: *Without thinking, he spoke Japanese*"Sorry about this Miss, I don't mean to invade your space like this."

*Their bodies were close, and her head was against his chest due to small space.*

Xiao: *Switches to Japanese.* "It's not your fault; those people should've split their group so we wouldn't have to be squished like this."

Jin: *takes notice* "You can speak Japanese?"

Xiao: "Yes, I'm pretty fluent."

At this moment, he looks down and she looks up. Their eyes finally meet…..

Jin: "Xiao?!"

Xiao: "Jin?!"

The elevator finally reaches the lobby, when the doors opened everyone left except them. They stood there frozen in their current positions.

Hope you liked it!

Tell me what you think.

Hahaha finally they meet face to face!
