The next morning, I felt a slight wind touched my skin. I wanted to open my eyes, but I was so tired. But when I felt that I was alone on the bed, I opened my eyes and saw no one. Where did Seijuro go?
I sat down and the blanket covering my bare body fall down exposing my breast. My back was hurting so much. Would I be okay? I got the eyeglass from the side table and put it on. I yawned and didn't mind what happened, but hurriedly covered it when I heard him spoke
"Good morning, (F/N)! I can clearly see it" when he saw me covered my body he laughed. What a refreshment from the morning "Why do you need to cover it, after what we did last night?" he said and stood up from the table beside the TV. He was already wearing his shirt and sweat pants. Somehow it was kind of mean, leaving me all naked
"Are you doing some paper works?" I asked him as I put my undergarments
"Yeah, just a report for what happened yesterday during the match" he said and gave his jacket "Wear this for now instead of the yukata." I put on his jacket and saw him pulled a tray beside the bed
"You ordered a room service?" I asked and got a bread from the tray "You know that you will pay them"
"Well, I wanted to watch you while you are sleeping and while I am doing my work. Also, you know me. I can even buy your hotel" he poured a hot chocolate on a cup and gave to me "You still don't drink coffee?"
"Oh, yeah, you are freaking rich. I totally forgot" I shook my head and sipped on the cup he gave me. I put the cup on the tray and took a bit on the bread "I think we just did something out of order"
"Huh?" He sat down beside me on the bed and had a bite of the bread on my hand "What do you mean?"
"I mean we supposed to talk first right? But we jumped ahead, and did something-"
"Amazing?" he continued as I pouted my lips because of embarrassment. As I remember all the things happened last night, I couldn't help but turned red "I told you right?" I looked at Seijuro and he was looking straight "the explanation can wait later. If I didn't hold you last night, I felt like I would regret it with my whole life. You suddenly didn't come to school and then suddenly I found that note. When I read your note on the locker room, you can ask the others from Rakuzan basketball team, I was at lost. If Kuroko and the others didn't go and told me to focus on what should I do, the other me would probably be walking around again"
I rested my head on his shoulder and sighed "I'm currently hiding here in auntie's hotel."
"Hiding?!" he held my shoulder with his two hands and faced me to him "What do you mean by that?"
I looked away and remembered what happened that night "Father came home with a visitor. I could remember his face. Because I served them with tea to drink. My father asked me to sit beside him and he was so proud of me. I stood up for a minute to refill the tea, but then I heard my father shouted. 'Run (F/N)!' He was shouting continuously. I went to see what was going on and I saw with my two eyes, father's visitor was stabbing him" my body trembled as I remembered that night "I ran out of the house and that time I didn't know what was I supposed to do. It was then, a guard saw me and told him what happened."
"Did they catch him?" he asked as he pulled me towards him. He put his arms around me and he caressed my hair
"I don't know. Auntie just came and told me that I needed to run away from that place. She clearly told me, that man would kill me if he sees me, not just me but the people around" when I told him, he tighten his hugged to me. "That was why, I needed to say goodbye to you" tears ran down on my cheeks as I explained to him
"Why didn't you tell me?" he wiped my tears
"I couldn't. I didn't want you to be involved in my family problems. You might-"
"(F/N)" I looked at him and I was startled that he kissed me
"What's wrong?"
"I told you before. You are my queen, let me protect you. Now, I found you and know your reason, I will not allow you leave my side again. You are mine now. Mine" He said and again kissed me.
He pinned me down, and again showered me with kissed when the doorbell rang.
"Tch" he clicked his tongue and stood up. I chuckled and got the cup when I felt the dark aura from him. I heard from the door some small voices but then
"AKASHICCHI! What's with you?! Did I do something wrong?!"
It was Kise-kun's voice. Somehow, I felt bad for him
"Kise, you will run 10 laps on the side beach, now" I heard Seijuro ordered him and Kise just cried out. When I heard the door closed, I stood up and felt my back aching. The effect from last night was kind of harsh for me
"You are too harsh on him" I told him who was scratching the back of his head
"That's his punishment for what he did"
"What did he say anyway?"
"He is calling me to go down. It's lunchtime now, actually" I looked at the time and he was right! I picked up my yukata that was on the floor. It was then he suddenly hugged me "By the way, do you have plan for today? It is your birthday"
"Nope, I usually don't have plan" he looked at me with a face asking what I meant "Well, I usually just sit on the front desk even though I didn't need to help. Also, I just stay in my room, sleep. Then on night, I helped them. Because of the firework display near here, people come to our restaurant"
"I see. Then you will spend your day with me."
"Huh?!"
"For now, let's go down and eat lunch"
"Then I'll go back to my room and take a shower" I told him and tried to free myself from him but he tighten his hugged "What?"
"Let's take the shower together"
This guy, really! "Seijuro, not now"
"Why?"
"Everyone is waiting" I chuckled and he freed me with reluctant face
"(F/N), we are dating again, right?" he asked me that made me really laughed
"I told you right? We jumped into things. I don't know, what do you think?"
He hugged me again tightly and sighed "I don't know. We can start dating again, we can also say that we are still dating, just a long distance. But right now, I really don't care. Since, I will never let that same thing to happen again, you are mine now"
"What a selfish guy, really?" I hugged him back and tightly clenched his back "I'm really sorry. We should have graduated at the same time, at the same high school. We should have gone to the same university. Went to dates, celebrated Christmas and birthdays. I am really sorry" again tears ran down on my cheeks.
"It is okay now. I already know that we share the same feelings. There's no helping about it. It was already in the past. Plus," he wiped away my tears and our eyes met again "We couldn't graduate to the same high school, and went to same universities, but from now one we can go to dates, celebrate Christmas and birthdays together" as he kissed me. Our lips and tongue once again intertwined. But then, the doorbell rang again
Seijuro hurriedly opened the door, "KISE!" oh, poor Kise-kun
"But Akashicchi, everyone is waiting for you!"
"He'll be there" I answered as I showed up behind Seijuro. It was good thing that the jacket that Seijuro lent me was big enough to cover up to my hips "Good afternoon, Kise-kun. Well then, I'm going back to my room"
"Eh? (L/N)-cchi?!" Kise-kun was startled and he seemed lost to what was going on "What are you doing there?"
"(F/N), let's go down together"
"Ok, I'll change quickly" I ran to my room as I heard Kise-kun asking Seijuro what was going on
/Third Narration/
After 30 minutes, Akashi went to get (F/N) and they went down together. Akashi held her hand as they got out of the elevator. From afar, Kotone saw the two and she giggled seeing them.
"(F/N)?!" (F/N) was startled when she heard her auntie's voice calling her. They both looked behind and there they saw Tsubame looking at them. (F/N) made a worried face as she knew what would happen "Can we talk? The two of us, in the staff room?" Tsubame walked towards the staff room, however she knew what would happen
"Sorry, you go first" (F/N) told him and she followed Tsubame.
Akashi was on his way to sit where Kise and the others, who were eating loudly. Kise just finished running on the beach because of Akashi's order
"Where's (F/N)-chin?" Kotone approached him "You were with her, right?"
"You are?" Akashi looked at her and he tried to remember who she was
"Ah, Akari Kotone, Akashi-sama. (F/N)-chin's best friend"
"Ah, you are that Kotone-chan she mentioned that gave that gift"
"Eh?" Kotone reacted with pink aura blooming around her that Akashi noticed "Don't tell me, ehh?! You saw it, Akashi-sama?" Akashi remained silence not saying a word, because he knew that she would get what they did "Kyaaaa!" Kotone giggled and shouted in excitement "Then where did she go? She doesn't have a work, right?"
"The owner called her" When Akashi answered, Kotone's reaction changed and she became worried. "What?"
"Well, actually, you should go and also explain things to Auntie Tsubame. Since she didn't know that you are (F/N)-chin's ex-boyfriend."
"What do you mean?"
"She will be scolded. Since, in this hotel there's an absolute rule for us; Relationship between the guests and the workers are forbidden. We are only here to serve the guest, that's all"
"Where's the staff room?"
In the staff room, (F/N) slowly followed her auntie who was really agitated on what she saw
"Auntie, I have an explanation for that"
"Do you honestly understand what you are doing (F/N)?!" Tsubame angrily asked as they entered the staff room
"I know what I am doing" (F/N) answered in low voice
"No you are not. I told you clearly that you need to be aware of your surroundings. Just serve our guests and don't make them fall in love with you, and also don't fall in love with them. How many times did I remind you that?" Tsubame was obviously shouting at her that made her tears ran down on her cheeks "I know that you are beautiful and kind, that our male guests will have their eyes on you. But to think, with Akashi-sama? Of all people, a person that is really far from our status. (F/N), really, what are you doing? What are you thinking?"
"It doesn't really matter, right?" Akashi came in the staff room and put his arm around (F/N) "I really don't care about our social status. I love her and she loves me"
"That is not the problem here, Akashi-sama. Also, this is a problem between us. You are our guest, so please, can you leave this to us?" Tsubame kindly asked, though she was irritated in the situation
"Then, this will be my problem too. Since it is (F/N)'s problem. Also, there's more right? It is not a serious guest and worker relationship. You have a better explanation to it"
"Seijuro, please, leave this to us. I can talk to auntie, I can explain to her" (F/N) tried to plead but Akashi was firmed and stood on his statement
"I am not leaving. I am your boyfriend. We talked about it, from the very beginning we started dating, and I am going to protect you. I failed when you suddenly disappear, but this time, I will not let anyone hinder our relationship. I clearly told you, you are mine, means every thing about you is mine"
"What do you mean by that?" Tsubame curiously asked to what she heard and she seemed lost to what he just said
"Even before she went here, we were dating. I knew her ever since then" Akashi briefly answered
"Auntie, you remembered that you told me to cut all my ties to the people I knew before going here? Then I really pleaded you to stop by the school? It was that time that I left the note in his locker room. He is my ex-boyfriend. But last night, we talked and cleared all the miscommunication, I explained to him what happened, so-" (F/N) added and tried to explain more when Tsubame sighed in defeat and sat down trying to comprehend what was happening
"So you are dating before then, but still Akashi-sama is from a wealthy family. You can't be together"
"Why?" Akashi immediately asked. Tsubame remained silenced but again asked by Akashi "Why are you keep saying that we cannot be together? You have reasons, right?"
"Okay, I explain everything" Tsubame took a deep breath and asked the two to sit down. However, Akashi let (F/N) to sit and he stand next to her "I'll tell you from the very start. (F/N), your mother, yeah, my sister, she was working here too. She had a boyfriend, a wealthy man. They had a roller coaster relationship. It was then, a guest came to this hotel. He was also a wealthy man from Tokyo. That was your dad"
"Wait" (F/N) interrupted and her face was really confused "So, mom and dad met here? And mom had a relationship before dad, is that right?" Tsubame nodded in agreement "I thought that boyfriend was my dad,"
"Let me continue" she sighed again and continued "At first, the two, your mom and dad were just arguing, and your dad was just being mean to your mom. They had a close relationship as server and guest. But days after, the wind suddenly changed, and your mom fall in love with your dad. And I found out, that your dad was the same too. I found out that, your mom and his boyfriend that time they really had an argument because her boyfriend was kind of obsessed and so possessive of her that she didn't want her to work here. Your dad, comforted her."
"So she broke up with him then got into relationship with (F/N)'s dad?"
"Half is right" Tsubame corrected that made them more confused "She didn't broke up, the two eloped" their eyes widened when they heard what Tsubame said. Silence filled the room, and the two couldn't believe what they heard. "Your mom came to my room, before they ran away. I was caught off guard that I didn't believe her, but the next day, she left and the next news that I got from her, she had you"
"I, I didn't know about that story." (F/N) commented in low voice
"Then what happened to that boyfriend?"
"Oh him, he went hysterically and really searched for them. Yeah, he found, and killed him" her statement made the two, especially (F/N) gasped "Yes, that man that visited your dad, he was your mom's ex-boyfriend. He really got mad and became crazy, especially when he found out about that your mom died."
"That man?!"
"Yeah, Inukai Kurosaki"
"INUKAI?!"
"You (F/N), what is your relationship with Inukai?"
"He's a friend. That's all. He knows that I still love my ex-boyfriend. I told him when he confessed to me." (F/N) defensively said but shut her mouth to what she just said
"So, that Inukai guy likes you then" Akashi asked but his voice became cold
"I don't know now, but seriously, he really knows that I will never love anyone other than you!"
"Okay, stop you two, don't do that in front of me. That man was Inukai's uncle. Inukai knew what happened and clearly told me that he really didn't know about him and he would never be like him. But you Akashi-sama, it seems you have a possessive side."
"I do" Akashi immediately agreed "My orders are all absolute. Honestly, right now, if you are going to hinder my relationship with (F/N), I will do any means to bring her with me"
Tsubame was left dumbfounded to what Akashi. She just chuckled and shook her head in defeat "I get it, I get it! You really have this thing around you Akashi-sama."
"Can you stop adding –sama? I am also a normal person"
"You are not normal, though" (F/N) whispered on the side but Akashi heard it and pinch the back of her neck "Sorry"
"Okay, I allow this whole thing. But you need to explain this to everyone, especially to Inukai, okay?" Tsubame stood up and again reminded the too "Just don't get overboard, okay? I think that I cannot win to this argument, but (F/N), Akashi-kun, you two are in different social status" she left the room and the two were left
"Don't do overboard? We just did that thing last night though" (F/N) sighed as she rested her head on the table
"So we need some talking later, I presume?"
"About what?"
"That confession"
(F/N) stood up and gave a peck on Akashi's lips "My king, are you jealous? There's nothing to be jealous about though"
"But-"
She wrapped her arms around his neck and smile "Anyway, it's my birthday, so let's celebrate it together. I'm really happy right now"
"Let's go eat first then. It really made me so hungry, but first" Akashi wrapped his arms on her waist and gave her a deep kiss but interrupted when someone knocked
"You two, get out of there now."
"Kotone-chan" (F/N) chuckled and freed herself from Akashi
Akashi scratched the back of his head and just sighed "I guess I'll just wait for tonight"
