Order 10. Red Bean Slush with Boba

Her grandfather was still under observation; he missed the holiday's at home. It was Rei's first Christmas without her grandpa, despite the fact that they didn't celebrate it. Still, traditionally they would have dinner and feast on whatever strange things that she would put together.

This year it was spent with Itto and Hotaru, which was nice, although not as rambunctious. She never realized how much her grandpa was the life of the party.

Christmas was over now and New Year's Eve was fast approaching. It was only a few days away, Rei's firm was having their holiday party and she was practically forced to join if she wished to make partner. She still had to go shopping for a cocktail dress; it was a good thing that Mina was back in Orlando. The woman knew fashion.

Currently she was on her way to meet the girls for lunch. It had been a long time since they had all gotten together. With the exception of Bunny that was. The ditzy blond was still in New York and wouldn't be back until New Year's Eve.

Lita had been in charge of picking up Mina, since she wanted to drop Luna back off at the apartment now that there was a person residing in it.

Amy had the day off from the hospital and was most likely the first person there. No doubt she had already managed to get the four of them a booth.

Sea Thai came into view and Rei found her way into the measly parking lot. She remembered when Bunny had discovered the place. It looked like a hole in the wall, like some place that she would never step foot into. It was a pleasant surprise when entering the establishment. It only got better when one tasted the food.

She grinned at the Amy, who was the first person there as per usual. "Long time no see."

The doctor offered her own smile in return, "It's nice to have lunch and not talk about divorce papers over it."

Not a moment after she sat down did a head full of sun-bleached blond hair was practically shoved into Rei's face as arms circled around her neck, nearly choking her.

"I've missed you guys so much!" Mina's squealed directly into her ear before attacking the woman who sat across from them.

The brunette in the group gave an amused shake of her head as she sat down besides Rei. "I received the same treatment when I picked her up."

For a moment the four of them felt like young teenagers again, hanging out at the mall's food court and making eyes at Andrew, who had been working at a smoothie hut at the time. They gave each other nostalgic smiles before the waitress appeared to take their drink orders.

Mina jumped right into conversation about her recent promotion and how she was now going to be in charge of the models when she got back to England. She glowed with excitement, but never once mentioned a love life.

Lita showed off her engagement ring. A decent sized emerald with two smaller diamonds resting on either side of it on a silver band. It was beautiful in a simple way, and reflected its wearer perfectly.

The women awed over it, admiring how it shinned in the lighting.

Rei told everyone that she lived with Itto now, that they were looking for a house (although she had yet to tell that tidbit to her live-in boyfriend), and how they had both agreed that her grandfather should be living with them once he gets out of the hospital.

After they were halfway done with their meals, Amy dropped her divorce bomb. Although they all knew that they all knew. The women still acted appropriately about it.

It was strange to hear the adult problems the four of them were complaining or discussing, and it was hard to not notice the empty spot which Bunny usually took up.

She was in the living room the next day, having gotten home before her boyfriend. She had already showered and was wearing sweats, her hair up in a sloppy bun as she searched the internet for houses that were for sale. The dinner that she had cooked was covered and placed into containers for whenever Itto got home from work.

He was strolling through the door, undoing his tie with one hand when her phone began to buzz.

Her father's name flashed across the screen. Whenever the man called it never was for any good news.

With a grimace she answered her cell phone, "Yes?"

"What are you going to do about your grandfather?" His voice was just as crisp and cold as she remembered it. There was a surge of pure resentment towards this man, before she swallowed it down and took in a deep breath.

Her grandfather had been her late mother's father; therefore he had no relation to her father. She wondered why the man was asking, "After he gets out of the hospital I plan on moving him in with us."

'Us' had a nice ring to it, she was sure that her father didn't know about her and Itto. It wasn't any of his business either way.

Unfortunately, the man took note of the word, "You moved in with that poor boy, didn't you?"

Anger flared, "You have no control over my life, nor do you have any right to say anything to me about it. You gave that up when you abandoned me in order to pursue your new wife and career."

The words were sharp, and she had been dying to say them for years. For some reason, however, Rei only felt more heated after they were out in the open. Her own words added fuel to her fire, and she was ready to go on a rampage.

She must have gotten her temper from her mother, because her father's voice was as calm and uncaring as ever, "Enough with the dramatics." The tone he used was one that she used to be afraid of as a child, "I've arranged for your grandfather to be placed into a nursing facility, they can give him the proper care there."

"The hell they will," She spat, "He's living with me. Just because he's not doing well doesn't mean he's a lame horse that needs to be put down. He'll be fine soon enough. As usual you're wasting your money and my time."

"This is not up for debate—"

"You're right, this discussion is over."

She hung up on him before he could counter with another word.

Flopping back down onto the couch, she all but threw her phone down onto the nearby coffee table.

The man was insufferable on a good day, Rei could barely stand him. She blamed her distaste for her father on the fact that he did abandon her after her mother died. She was quite aware that she looked very similar to the woman, but she also knew that she took after her father too much for him to use that excuse on her. He had gotten rid of her the first chance he could.

Luckily her grandfather had taken her in, at the time she barely knew the old man, but they mourned her mother together. Rei had been eight years old, and she remembered when her grandfather had put her back into school, she had problems adjusting and even gotten into a fight with two boys within that first week. Yet the old man had been patient with her and always had a smile and kind word to give out.

The thought of putting him in a nursing home repulsed her. As if he was a burden! It was unacceptable, especially since he would recover and be fine once everything was said in done. He needed someone to make sure he ate properly of course, so that he wouldn't have another heart attack, but that's what Rei was there for.

Then there was the fact that her father had insulted Itto.

Her nails dug into the palms of her hands hard enough to cut through the skin as she desperately tried to contain herself.

From down the hallway she could hear the shower running. Despite having just bathed, she meandered her way towards the bathroom. Whenever she was angry like this, there was only one outlet which helped her cope.

She was naked by the time she made it into their shared bathroom.

Itto seemed to be expecting her and welcomed her into the shower with open arms. The hot water pulsed down onto them as he kissed her passionately. His tongue was scorching against hers, and his larger hands freely roamed her body with a confidence that she could appreciate.

He was already hard against her navel, and she couldn't help the loud moan that escaped her as his middle finger twirled around the most sensitive bud on her body.

Her legs twitched on their own as his finger pressed harder against her. Rei bit his clavicle and held onto his shoulders tightly.

"Stop fighting me," Itto's voice was low in her ear. He nipped the lob and began to move his finger in tighter circles.

"Fuck," his girlfriend spat as pleasure flared through her body. Her legs turned to jelly and she arched herself against him firmly. Her eyes slammed shut and the water fell over her face.

When she came back down from her high, she stared at him blurrily. He had his typical smug look, a sharp grin that made him look like a boy who knew he was in trouble but enjoyed it.

With one hand on her bare back to keep her study, he reached over her and turned off the running water.

Sex in the shower always overheated Rei, and the two times they've tried it she passed out halfway through.

"Come on," he helped her dry off and practically carried her to their shared bedroom since her legs were too shaky to stand on.

As soon as she was on the bed, he was on top of her, kissing her languidly and twining their tongues together.

She sighed heavily as he kissed along her neck and pulse point, suckling gently on the sensitive skin.

Her hands ran though his soft unruly curls, as he continued his destination downwards. When his mouth went over her breast, her back arched upwards. His teeth nibbled her nipple and she couldn't help the soft mewls which escaped her.

His hands roamed over her flat stomach, and held firmly onto her hips, kneading the area.

"Itto," She muttered as he tried to go lower, "wait."

He peered up at her, his chin dug into her stomach. His green eyes sparkled up at her, "hm?"

Her face flushed under his gaze, it wasn't that Rei was shy. By all means, she had no problems telling her lover what she wanted. Still, there were times when he would look painfully beautiful to her, and she would suddenly find herself inarticulate.

"Get up here, lay down next to me."

He had a look of slight confusion on his face before doing what she ordered him to do.

It was time for her to start worshipping him as much as he did her. It would only be fair, despite how much she enjoyed that he treated her like a goddess.

She leaned over him and gave him a soft kiss on the mouth. "I love you."

The words weren't said often to each other, but Rei realized that she felt them wholeheartedly, and with everything that was going on in her life with her grandfather, she felt that Itto deserved to know.

Instead of saying something to ruin the moment (as he often did), he replied, "I love you too."

His warm smile as he watched her kiss her way down his body was almost too much for her to bear. For some reason it always surprised her how kind and understanding he was.

When she took him into her mouth, his body tensed. He gently petted her hair and rubbed down the curve of her spine until his hands grabbed her bottom and gave it a squeeze.

His little huffs of breath and his soft groans egged her own. She added a hand to help her movements and he let out a strangled moan.

Rei felt empowered, and she didn't let up until her jaw began to ache. Although she didn't allow her boyfriend any time for reprieve when she was suddenly sliding herself over him, and taking him in one inch at a time until she was fully seated.

"God," Itto let out a husky chuckle, "You're such a control freak."

She flexed her hips and enjoyed the grimace of pleasure that flashed across his face, "My name's not God. But yes, yes I am."

Her anger towards her father and her family problems were completely forgotten as she rode him at her own pace.

His hands roamed her body before settling on her thighs, helping her move up and down as he swayed his own hips into her. When his thumb found her sensitive spot again, Rei couldn't control how she moved. She was practically convulsing on top of him, and he gave her a cocky grin as her smaller fingers dug into his chest.

"Cheater," She hissed as she came a second time.

Her lover merely laughed before rolling them over and continuing where they left off. His long, hard, thrusts caused her to quiver. Her legs were beginning to go numb, but she didn't care as her eyes stayed focused on his face.

When he realized she was watching him, he leaned forward to give her a passionate kiss.

For Rei, the night ended much better than how it started.

MLL: What's there to say about this chapter? It was a little difficult to get into Rei's character. She's a perfect lawyer though. I think I've made her too calm, but I'd also like to think that she's matured as she's gotten older. But she still has her daddy issues. I just wanted to get into the relationships that Rei has in her life. There will be more excitement in the next chapter.

Sea Thai is an actual place. It's been labeled the best Thai place in Orlando for a few years in a row. It is a hole in the wall lol, and does not look like the type of place a person would want to enter, until they do. I discovered it years ago, and it sparked my love for Thai food. Americanized Thai food lol, yummy.
