AsukaEnergetic1 Thanks for your constant review man!
Trapstarjohny I'm fluttered with your praise for the story.
Lili and Asuka meet after half an hour in front of the school gates. Asuka was first to arrive today. The Monégasque black car stops right in front of her. The Japanese opens the passenger's door and helps Lili get off.
Lili looked at Sebastian before closing the door. "Thank you Sebastian, remember not to pick me up in the afternoon anymore."
The white-haired butler nods to his mistress. "Yes, Ms. Lili, I hope you enjoy your first day at work, and Ms. Asuka?"
Asuka seemed surprise that Sebastian was talking to her. "Ah, yes?"
"Please take care of Ms. Lili"
Asuka blushed. "I will." Sebastian smiles at her before he closes the passenger door.
The car immediately leaves. Lili laces her arms in Asuka. the two begin to walk.
"Did you tell him about us?" Asuka asked her girlfriend.
"Sebastian's always with me when I was stalking you, he doesn't need me to tell him what's going on."
"Wow, that's great" Asuka laughs hesitantly. So she was stalking me back then.
So after their indirect coming out yesterday, Asuka and Lili found out that a lot of people in the school were glad to accept them.
There are some students who squealed seeing them together in the hallways. Some juniors are even brave enough to take a picture with the two of them.
On the way to their home room, Asuka and Lili pass by the first year building. A girl who was gushing happily, caught the attention of Asuka.
"Aw, I wish Lili – senpai was my girlfriend."
Asuka couldn't help but hear more; she slated her ear closer to the group of girls talking by the hallway.
"I also want Lili - senpai to be my girlfriend" another girl dips in.
The girls sigh together. "Asuka – senpai's unfair"
Asuka frowned; she stopped eavesdropping and went away with Lili. The blonde asks her what's wrong.
"Asuka, what's the matter?
"Why doesn't anyone ever say that they want me to be their girlfriend?"
"I want you to be my girlfriend" Lili flirtatiously tells her.
"I already am" Asuka stops walking. "What I mean is...is…ah, forget about it." She tousles her own hair and walks without waiting for Lili.
The blonde raised an eyebrow, very confused about the ebony hairs actions.
She was curious what Asuka is talking about.
Could it be that the serum's wearing off on its own? Is that why she wants to have a new girlfriend?
Lili heard the school bell ring and suddenly realizes that she needs to get to the classroom, she begins fast walking and offers a smile to the first year girls. She was already on the stairs when she heard them squeal in joy.
The blonde reaches the front door of their classroom, it was already closed, but there was still a ten minute grace time for late comers. She slowly reaches for the handle when the door opened itself.
Asuka moved the sliding door to the left. She was relieved that Lili was already standing outside. The teacher for the first period asks the two to sit down now.
Lili constantly stares at Asuka, trying her best to not make it obvious. She held a small mirror at her hand, strategically inclined to catch an image of Asuka.
The Japanese wasn't giving out anything in her facial expressions. Her face was just neutral and Lili hardly saw the Japanese look at her way (which she knows that Asuka always does in class).
Although Lili is worried about what's going on, she found entertainment in seeing Asuka dodge their classmates request to have her tutor them in math. Her blue eyes watched Asuka, screaming at their pushy classmates.
"Lili, need help here" Asuka taps the blonde's forearm.
"Well, Asuka and I will gladly help everyone in math" Lili said in an excited and honestly happy tune.
"Seriously?" Asuka squeezes Lili's forearm.
"Yes, seriously" Lili tries to take away her forearm, running her hand around it.
"Ah, ok, if Lili says so" Asuka answers adamantly to their classmates before tapping Lili in the shoulder. "Did I hurt you?" Asuka asked the blonde, her voice carried a gentle worried tone.
Despite the fact that Lili did feel a winch in her forearm she appreciated the ebony's worry. "No, Asuka you didn't. The thing that hurts is my feelings, what's wrong with you?"
The Japanese averted her look from Lili. She sat straight in her chair and answered.
"It's too dramatic to tell."
"You can't presume that unless you tell it to me."
"How about a bet?"
"If we're gonna bet money, I'm out"
"No, I don't have money to bet myself. If you do a good job later at the diners, I'll tell you what's wrong."
Lili thought about what Asuka was offering. She couldn't guess what dramatic meant to Asuka. So for the sake of it, she accepts the bet.
~ Later at 3:30 pm ~
Asuka and Lili are walking hand in hand to the diner. Asuka kept on rumbling about the things that Lili should know about the diner. The blonde wasn't listening to Asuka but she knows that her girlfriend was just being the caring girlfriend that she is.
"So, first stop, changing room at the staff lounge." Asuka opens the double door of the diner, getting a clanking sound of bells.
The diner was very influenced with American design. The tables were all upholstered red, the tables were yellow. The floor was dirty white and the cashier had a mini bar behind it.
None of the customers, who were guys in black leather jackets, cared to look at the new comers. Lili is not completely uncomfortable of the place, but she doesn't like it either.
However, she does take note that the diner looked better in the day than at night, when she first went here to apply for a job.
"Lili, come on." Asuka tries to drag her to the staff lounge at the back of the diner.
The staff lounge was a small open area with two dressing cubicles. Asuka opens the door to the first.
"You change here; I'll be in the second."
"Aw, Asuka, don't be shy anymore" Lili pulls Asuka inside the cubicle herself and locks the door.
"You really like to lock me up, don't you?" Asuka was blushing and flustered all over. Lili had started removing her top and was beginning to take her skirt off.
"Wait! Wear something above first." Asuka takes away the yellow and red polo from the wall hook and throws it at Lili's face.
Lili doesn't hide her laugh as she puts on the polo. "Geez, Asuka, What would you do if you saw me in a bikini"
"Just hurry up, I'll change after you."
Lili has successfully worn the polo. She swipes her hair to the back before unclasping her skirt, letting it fall to the floor. "What makes you think I'll come out without seeing you change clothes?"
Asuka eyes were looking at the floor, staring at Lili's skirt. She swallowed before facing Lili. "Alright already, I'll change now."
The Japanese slowly took her yellow blazer off; she could see Lili sliding the diner's skirt up to her silky white thighs. The blonde's eyes soon noticed her and gave a flirting movement of hips as she clasps the skirts lock.
Asuka's heart was beating fast again, heat was charging through her body. She shifted to her back before she took off her school top. Her hands were shaking and wandering the walls to get her diner polo, not looking back at Lili.
Suddenly a gentle stroke reaches the side of her stomach; she freezes and feels the blonde girl, blowing warm air behind her neck.
Lili kissed the top of Asuka's shoulder; her hands were hugging the ebony's waist.
Asuka moaned quietly, wishing so much that Lili wouldn't tease her more. Lili's lips moved to her back now, kissing her bare skin so lightly with her damp, warm lips.
"Lili" Asuka called to her so softly and weak. The blonde moved away and handed Asuka her polo.
Lili came close to Asuka's ear, kissing it before whispering. "Come on now Asuka, hurry up and change or I might not stop myself."
Asuka half-consciously puts her polo on, not even able to put the buttons to their right slots. Lili offered to do it for her. When all her buttons are done, Lili smiled wild at her, making her oblivious that the blonde has unclasp her skirt. Lili leaned close to her, she instinctively closes her eyes to wait for a kiss, but a voice makes her open them again.
"Asuka, wait table 4 and 6, Mari's left already." A groggy voice of a man shouts.
The two girls look at each other; Lili giggles and takes the diner skirt from the floor, giving it to Asuka.
"Come on, we have work to do. Ugh, I never thought I'd say that." Lili gingerly fixes Asuka's hair while she locks her skirt.
"Ready?" Lili holds her girlfriends hand.
"I should be the one asking you that." Asuka snitches a kiss on her lips before opening the cubicle.
The next minute Lili finds herself listening to the head manager of the diner.
"Asuka specifically told me that you come from a rich family and don't know how to do chores."
"Really, she said that?" Lili crossed her arms, asking with doubt and irate.
"Well, yes" the head manager was a tall, slim guy wearing black slacks and a red polo.
"So, I decided to give you the owner of being our cashier woman. You just need to take checks and give changes."
Lili raises an eyebrow, not very amused with her assigned job. Out of the corner where she stood, she could see Asuka not paying attention to the customer. The Japanese was clearly not good at entertaining orders and has a very short temper to wait for long deciders.
"Hmm, that's actually a good idea, but I want to wait" Lili moves her thoughts back to the current conversation.
"Do you know how to wait?"
"Yes, Bucko." Lili pokes her index finger on the guy's chest. She tries to speak in street slang to break down the guys defenses on her princess background. "Do you see how your waitress is scaring people, put me to wait and I'll give you big money tonight."
"Who'll be in charge of the cashier?"
"Well, your scary waitress of course."
Lili leaves the guy without even waiting for his approval. She goes close to Asuka who was getting the order for a table. The blonde played with girlfriend, kissing her in the lips before swiftly taking her apron and putting it on her own.
The head manager approaches Asuka and tells her that she's in cashier duty now. The ebony hair watches her blonde lover pass by her, carrying the order she was supposed to take.
By 6pm, the peak of customers has surprisingly increased inside the diner. Asuka kept yelling at Lili to slow down from getting orders and taking them. The both of them had their hands full. The head manager has even taken washing duty since there was just so many customers tonight.
After another order, Lili was running to the kitchen when Asuka pulled her back.
"Woah, hold your horses employee of the month."
"Asuka I need to take this order now."
"Yes, I know that but just stand there for a moment." Asuka crouches down to Lili's feet. The blonde couldn't see what Asuka was doing until she stood up again.
"There, I've been telling you to stop running because your shoelace was untied."
"Thanks, baby." Lili hugs her in the neck before resuming back to work.
"That girl of yours is really something, ain't she Asuka?" A waiter in the diner came close to her in the cashier.
"Yeah, she is all that." The waiter looked at Lili and high-fived with her as she passed. Asuka could only smile when her girlfriend winked at her.
After a gruesome 7 hour's work the diner is finally closing for the night. Lili came to Asuka's place at the cashier.
"Wow, I never thought working would be so fun."
"Well, I'm glad that your first day was a blast."
"Oh, it is, it really is!" Lili was smiling all sheepish and happy, almost dancing and jumping at the counter.
Asuka was letting the blonde bask in her joy until the head manager called for a brief meeting.
"So ever since my first time being assigned here 2 yrs. ago, I have never seen this diner as jammed pack as tonight."
The small number of employee's clap with glee.
"And it's all thanks to our very new employee, Ms. Lili" The head manager prompts Lili to stand at the center. The staffs were clapping and yelling her name.
"Not only has Lili made that kind of miracle, but she is also the highest tipped waitress for tonight." Another loud clap of applause, "A toast for Lili!" the head manager raises a glass of liquor along with everyone.
Lili doesn't take her glass and drinks from Asuka's.
~ Down at the night street ~
Asuka was walking Lili home to her condo, the two were holding hands, but neither was talking.
Lili prompts closer to Asuka till she was able to rest her head on the girl's shoulder.
"Asuka, I won the bet. I think it's time for you to tell me what the dramatic problem is."
Asuka smiles weakly before sighing, crystal smoke emitting from her mouth. "I don't really know where to start; I guess I just sort of feel like you're getting everything you want."
"I just lose my fortunes Asuka, how's that getting everything?"
"You have tons of suitors, whole pack of girls wanting to be with you. You have multiple talents. And just now at the diner, you got quadruple the tip money I've gotten for the whole week. You know what my problem is, I feel inferior that everyone loves you."
Lili didn't answer for a while, her hand lost its grip on Asuka, but she still rested her head on the girl's shoulder. "Do you really love me?"
Asuka felt a sting in that question, she moved her head and faced Lili, and they were so close that the ends of their noses are almost touching. "Yes." She answers with dry mouth.
"So, what's the problem with everyone loving me? Do you just want me for yourself?" Lili snuggled her head to the nape of Asuka's exposed neck.
"A little." She said with a laugh. "Though the thing is, I also want to be like that. Teach me how the hell can you make people like you?"
"Damn, that's what it was? I thought you wanted a new girlfriend." Lili laughed loud. "Although, I do believe that a lot of people like you, the Asuka fan base is a lot bigger than the Lili fan base in tekken."
"Why would I want a new girlfriend, and really I have a fan base?" the ebony asks with evident excitement.
"Well, you were talking weird about wanting someone to claim you and yes, you have a fan base. You really have air head tendencies don't you?" The blonde taps the end of Asuka nose.
"No, I just wanted you to feel jealous and knock off the teasing's; I don't want us returning to bitter mockers of each other."
"Oh, I was jealous but I can't stop teasing, your just so fun." The blonde embraces Asuka tightly.
"But come on, fans are different. Tell me how did you get those many tips? or those many customers? If I can know how to do it, we'll get bigger money in fast."
Lili unlocks her embrace on Asuka and holds her chin. "I'm not sure if there was a method under it, but maybe… it's because I'm good at making people feel special."
"Make people feel special, how?"
"Well, for instance, I try to give people confidence. I'm a very over-confident person and it kind of rubs to other's if I want it too. There's also the part where I'm good at sweet talk. And then there's how I treat customers, like they're the only ones I need to serve. Even if I have to run with untied shoelaces, they're orders are more important."
"I try to do that stuff too."
"Please, Asuka, you barely try to act nice. When I first transferred here, I was really acting nice to you and you were just shoving me off. You're also easily tempered."
"Well, I guess I'll try being nicer to people then."
"That and stop giving blackmails to people, it makes them scared of you."
"Got it. I just hope I can do it."
Lili gives her a light punch in the shoulder. "I saw some guys doing that in the diner, it's supposed to be an encouragement, right?"
"Well, weeks ago, it'd be the start of our fist fight, but now," Asuka takes Lili by her waist and back, gliding her close to her. "It is encouragement."
The two of them kiss. Asuka collects strands of Lili's hair in her hand and plants kisses on it.
"It's true that you can make people feel special." Asuka plays with Lili's soft blonde hair. "You always made and still make me feel special. No one's ever traveled half the globe to stalk me, or sacrificed their sleep to save me in math, or getting a job to help me get some rest."
"I'm just head over heels for you."
"Me too" Asuka murmurs softly. She takes Lili's hand and locks their hold.
"You know, it'll be Saturday the next day and I was hoping-"
"That we'd go on a date?" Lili sharply cuts thru Asuka speaking.
"Yes."
"Oh, but where will it be? A restaurant? A park? Cinema?"
"My house."
Lili's eye's sparkled, she shakes Asuka in eagerness. "Your house, oh my gosh, I'll be going to your house"
Asuka was not able to comprehend the kind of happiness she had given to Lili.
I should've ask her earlier if I knew she'd become this happy.
