AUTHOR: HAVE FUN.
The ladies continued their vacation with a night out at the pub nearby the hotel.
Nao still has trouble swallowing the defeat at the sand castle match. But she will have her chance.
"I will order something for us at the bar." Natsuki leaves three of them at the table and proceeds to the bar. It appears to be quite a busy night at the pub.
Shizuru keeps her eyes on Natsuki walking away. Even if she tries, she couldn't stop herself from looking.
"Enough with the ogling. You have all night to do that later." Nao couldn't believe how someone like Natsuki can hold a relationship, much less with Shizuru who is so different from her.
Is it the sex? Oh, it has gotta be the sex. "Shizuru, what is your favourite position for sex?"
"Top." Only Shizuru can say something like that in such a matter-of-fact tone without a hint of embarrassment.
"I knew it! Pay up, Mai."
Mai slaps her palm on her forehead and pays Nao twenty dollar bill. "And I was having so much faith in Natsuki."
"Well, you could try asking Natsuki hers. Here she comes."
"Natsuki, what is your favourite position for sex?"
"Mai!" Ambushed by the unexpected question, Natsuki goes into hedgehog-on-full-alert mode.
"Come on, Natsuki. Because Shizuru says hers is top, I just lost twenty to Nao. You might as well admit that you go for bottom."
"Mines is top too."
So that means… Ok, whatever that means, Shizuru is not objecting. So… "A-Ha! Give me back my twenty, Nao."
"Go find yourselves some hobby. I can't believe you guys just bet on my sex life." Natsuki rolls her eyes at her friends' behaviour.
"Please excuse me. I will be back from the washroom." Shizuru, being Shizuru, can even make something like going to washroom sound so posh and elegant.
However Natsuki does not notice that another patron who has been ogling Shizuru follows Shizuru to the washroom.
Fortunately, Nao does. "I am heading to washroom too." This should be interesting.
And what she hears when she steps in the washroom proves her right.
"Hey, hottie. How about you give me your number so we can get some alone time?"
"Thank you for the flattery. But I would have to decline the invitation."
"Come on. I bet I can rock you hard." Looking lecherous does not amount to skilful seduction, no matter how good the look is. And Nao would without a doubt give that lady a big fat F.
"No, thank you. I have to get back to my friends."
"Feisty. I like it."
"Hands off before you regret it. Besides, I already have someone who is capable of rocking me all night and morning."
OH~~~ Shizuru just said something interesting. Oh,time to sneak back to the table and mess with Natsuki's head a little.
Back to the table, seeing Natsuki taking a big gulp of her drink, the chance is too tempting. "Natsuki, I heard you and Shizuru go on all~ night~ and morning~~"
And Nao gets what she is asking for, a sweet payback. Natsuki chokes and whatever content in her mouth splashes out to her opposite direction. The downside is that Nao is in the way of the splash.
Pity dear Mai who has to hold her laughter in to the point of nearly suffering from stroke. One laugh, or even one chuckle, Nao would be very crossed with her.
Nao, too stunned to say or do anything for 5 seconds, finally strangles the words out from her throat, "You're a dead meat, Natsuki." Then she goes on taking angry steps heading to bathroom.
All Natsuki could do is keep coughing before she could say anything else. Mai bursts out laughing, smacking the table again and again.
"Mai (cough) stop (cough, cough) laugh (cough) ing (cough)."
Like how fire is after adding fuel, Mai laughs even harder.
"What's happening here? I saw a very angry Nao walking into washroom."
Amidst stuttering speeches from a coughing Natsuki and still-laughing Mai, Shizuru finally understands what is going on.
"Aw~~ you don't have to be embarrassed, Natsuki. It is the truth, isn't it?" The look in Shizuru's eyes could stir fire from a pile of ash.
Natsuki's attention is drawn to the sultry voice and hypnotizing wine red eye that she forgets she is coughing.
Interrupting the moment, Nao returns and keeps glaring at Natsuki.
Time for someone to step in.
"Come on, Nao, you pick on Natsuki first. Let's order another round of drink and get over with it. Natsuki, would you please?" If Mai gets paid every time playing mediator for Nao and Shizuru, she wouldn't have to worry about living expenses ever.
"Fine."Natsuki leaves to the bar again.
- HALF AN HOUR LATER -
"Stop drinking, Mai. You already have enough. You too, Nao. Shizuru, help me stop them."
Nao points a finger to Natsuki's nose and says, "Natsuki, you don't drink. So you don't get to ask us not to drink. Mai, let's do another shot."
"Woah~" Mai has succumbed.
"Shizuru, why are you clinging to me?"
"Ara, ara. Natsuki smells good." That "ara, ara" is a bad sign. If Shizuru is so relaxed that she slips back to mother tongue, more likely than not she has had too much to drink.
"Not you too…" Natsuki face palms. The day just gets better and better. "I better get you guys some water."
Just when Natsuki turns around, someone bumps into her intentionally causing her to stagger.
"So your skinny ass rocks all night and morning." The stranger's voice is laced with so much sarcasm.
What do people keep saying "all night and morning" tonight? This is getting frustrating. URGHHH. Before Natsuki even says anything, a loud thud is heard.
Mai is laughing so hard that she loses control and slides down from her seat. "(Laugh) Rock (Laugh) all night (Laugh) morning (Laugh)~~~"
Soon, Mai's laughing hysteria is joined by Nao's. "Way to go, Natsuki." And Nao continues laughing.
"Ara, ara. Not just night and morning. Sometimes till noon." Drunk Shizuru becomes clingy Shizuru.
Natsuki face palms for the n-th time for the day. The problem just keeps getting better and better.
"Look, I am really not in the mood right now to pick a fight. I need to take care of my friends." The last thing she needs right now is some sarcastic comment from unknown stranger.
"Well, I could take care of her for you." That does it. No one preys on drunk ladies during her watch, ever.
"BACK OFF." Natsuki summons her deadliest death glare.
"Natsuki."
Natsuki turns her head around and finds herself on the receiving end of a passionate kiss from Shizuru.
Natsuki does her best to remain standing while coping with Shizuru's weight. Her distracted state allows Shizuru to invade her mouth all she wants.
The thing is Shizuru always has the hot for Natsuki in 'Guardian' mode. And with Natsuki being so close, Shizuru has lost whatever inhibition she has.
Between the two of them, Shizuru is definitely the better kisser. The sudden aggressiveness corners Natsuki in defence mode, not to mention the alcohol taste in Shizuru's kiss renders Natsuki's brain too fuzzy to put up a decent defence. All Natsuki could manage is to remain standing without tumbling.
Just when Natsuki starts getting wobbly, Nao unexpectedly rescues Natsuki from a possibly embarrassing collapse.
"Shizuru, you better keep your hand to yourselves."
Clingy Shizuru lifts her head and regains some clarity. She notices too many pairs of eyes are checking them out.
"Fine." Shizuru pulls her hand away from Natsuki. "You. Move."Shizuru doesn't have much patience left for some stranger who wants to hit on her. She only has so much patience to last till Natsuki and she are back to their room.
"Nao, you carry Mai back." The deprived Shizuru now uses a don't-bother-me tone; and all Nao could do is nod.
And when Shizuru turns to speak to Natsuki, she flips a switch and turns into a total different person. "Natsuki, let's get back to the room, OK?" Secretly, both Mai and Nao think that the sight of Shizuru dotting on Natsuki is so sweet to watch that it almost gives them tooth ache.
"OK." Natsuki looks so dazed while following Shizuru back to the hotel. Nao actually pictures Natsuki as a little lamb following a wolf.
"Alright, Mai, let's get you back to the room." Nao lifts Mai up in a not-so-gentle way and starts walking back to their room.
Mai is so heavy. Must be the additional fat causing additional weight. Ops, bumps into the door again. This is the second or third door? Glass door at the entrance, the elevator door and the door of the room. Yeap, the third door. Mai will wake up with an ache tomorrow. Well, whatever, time to sleep.
Looking forward to more fun tomorrow.
