After they had both changed into their pajamas' she came back into his room with a bottle of red wine. They sat at the small round table and began drinking and chatting, they were totally enjoying each other's presence. But only after 2 cups of wine, she became drunk. Her cheeks become pink and rosey, her speech became slower but still clear and she started acting out of the norm.
Xiao: *giggles.* "Jiiiin." *smiles at him*
Jin: *puts his drink down* "Hmm?"
Xiao: "I missed you so much…. when you were away! I hope you know that." *points at him* "Don't leave me again….. got it?" *gets up and stands beside his chair, then places a heavy hand on his shoulder* "By any chance…have you ever thought of me when you were away?"
Jin: *blushes* "I uh…."
Xiao: *smiles* "Because I thought of you all the time….I missed you so so so much!"
*She loses her balance but he quickly gets up and wraps his arms around her before she falls.*
Jin: "Careful Xiao."
Her legs gave out so she leaned her body weight onto him. She looks up at him dreamingly and puckers her lips out and leans in with the intent to kiss him, but when he looked down at her full lips his heart beat started racing and his focus was set only on her pink kissable lips. He ends up tripping over his own feet and landing on the bed (with her under him). Her arms were wrapped around his neck and she was pulling him down closer to her, he was so close that he could feel her heart beat against his chest.*
"Don't you know how much I liked you in high school? In fact…. I still like you a lot….when I saw you in the elevator…..it's was like…..fireworks were going off." *giggles*
Jin: *Props himself up on both hands and looks down at her* "Xiao…."
Xiao: "You're so handsome….." *reaches one hand up and traces the features of his face with her soft fingertips…( His cheeks, eye brows, nose, and lips.)*
*He gently takes her hand in his and looks into her eyes, then looks down at her smiling lips.*
Xiao: "This is the best day…..ever, I'm so happy. But It's probably getting…pretty late huh? Let's sleep now." *reaches up and kisses the tip of his nose, then lays back down with her eyes closed*
Jin: *blushes* "Okay."
He slowly got up and tucked her under the covers of his bed, making sure she was comfortable before leaving to make his own bed on the couch. He gathered the extra pillow and blanket from the closet and fell fast asleep.
In the morning….
She woke up before he did, she stretched and yawned as she sat up in the bed. She looked around and noticed that the room set-up was quite different. Then she spotted him sleeping on the couch.
Xiao: "Why am I sleeping here?" *looks at the table they were sitting at the night before, with the red wine bottle on it, then rememebers.* "Perhaps….did I….oh no, I totally got drunk. How embarrassing, I hope I didn't say anything out of the ordinary or did anything stupid."
Jin: *yawns then slowly sits up* "Is it already morning?" *looks at her* "Good morning Xiao."
Xiao: "Good morning…..sorry for taking over your bed."
Jin: "It's okay." *slightly smiles.* "Do you want to have breakfast downstairs?"
Xiao: *nods* "Sounds good! I'll go get ready."
Jin: "Okay." *gets up and walks her to the door.*
When she opened the door, Lixue was standing there with a tray occupied with two cups of coffee (which was meant for herself and Jin)
Lixue: *Her smile fades away as she looks at Xiao, then at Jin.* "Oh….Xiaoyu, what are you doing in Mr. Kazama's room?"
Xiao: "Oh we….."
Jin: *interrupts* "It's none of your concern Mai."
Lixue: "My name is Lixue!"
Jin: "Whatever."
Xiao: "Excuse me *walks past Lixue and goes back to her room*
Lixue: "Ji…" *gets the door shut on her face*
(Lixue's thoughts)
Were they…..sleeping together? No….how do they know each other anyways? I can't believe she has the heart of that coldblooded man. He didn't give me a chance! How the hell did she get him to like her?
"He's so serious but she's so bubbly and cute…..wouldn't he like the more serious type like me? Ugh I don't get it, men are so confusing!" *walks back to the elevator and goes back down to the lobby.*
10 minutes later….
They were seated at the dining table, waiting for their order to come out. She ordered Congee (Chinese hangover rice porridge) and he ordered Jian Bing (An omelette-filled crepes speckled w/green onions) They talked, laughed and ate well together.
Xiao: "Hey Jin….."
Jin: "Hmm?"
Xiao: "Um…..Did I do or say anything…..weird last night?"
Jin: *thinks back and recalls everything she said/did, then smiles* "Nope, you just fell asleep."
Xiao: "Good."
*His phone starts ringing.*
Jin: "Sorry about that."
Xiao: "It's okay, you should answer it."
Jin: *nods* "Hello?"
Rikuto: Hello sir, are you almost finished packing?"
Jin: "Packing? No why?"
Rikuto: "Your flight to Italy is in a few hours, remember?"
Jin: "What?! Damn…..I totally forgot about that. Thanks for reminding me."
Rikuto: "You're welcome sir."
*They hang up.*
Xiao: "Is everything alright?"
Jin: "Yes….it's just, I have to leave in a few hours. I'm going to Italy."
Xiao: "You're leaving?" *frowns*
Jin: "Yes, but I'll be back in Japan after this last trip."
Xiao: "How long will you be away?"
Jin: "Maybe a week, I'm still not sure."
Xiao: *looks down* "Oh."
Jin: "I promise I'll be back no later than 2 weeks."
Xiao: *nods* "Okay then."
After they finished up their breakfast and conversation, they headed back upstairs. They decided to meet and say their goodbyes before his departure from Hong Kong; he was now is his room packing and preparing this luggage for his flight. It seemed as the seconds, minutes and hours slipped away like sand flowing through ones fingers. Before they knew it, it was already time for him to leave.
Outside the hotel entrance….
Xiao: "Have a safe trip!"
Jin: "Thank you, I will." *pulls her into a warm hug* "Have a safe trip back to Japan."
Xiao: *surprised by his sudden affectionate hug* "I will."
Jin: *releases her* "I'll see you soon." *smiles*
*She simply smiles and nods.*
