Chapter Four: Meeting at Mystic
This is the last time I'm gonna dress like this, Ken thought as he teetered this way and that in his high-heeled, black boots. His outfit for that night—a long, tight, black dress with slits that went all the way up to his thighs—was just as uncomfortable as the last one. But at least this time he had a long, black coat to keep him warm. It was made from some fur material that was really comfy and soft. He stole a jeweled hairband from a boutique on his way to the club to keep the irritating hair off of his face which completed the whole look.
Wobbling awkwardly, Ken slowly made his way through the people in the club. He had called Yohji that same day, and they had decided to meet at Mystic, one of Yohji's hangouts. Sitting down on a high stool by the bar, he asked the bartender for a light drink.
"Here you go, Miss," murmured a rich, smooth voice. One that can only belong to—
"Yohji!" squeaked Ken with surprise. What happened to the pixie chick who took my order? "Uh, I didn't know you worked here," he said awkwardly, sloshing his drink around in his glass.
"I don't. I'm just doing my friend Hilde a favor. She went out on a break," Yohji replied.
"Oh," Ken mumbled, not meeting Yohji's intense green eyes.
"Well, she's a cute girl. Couldn't say no," Yohji teased.
"Yo! Sexy bartender! Over here!" hollered an attractive, petite woman with hot pink hair, provocatively dressed, from the far side of the counter.
Yohji turned his head and grinned at the woman and her friends. "Comin', ladies," he drawled. He turned to Ken and bowed his head slightly. "Excuse me for a second, Ani. Be right back," he promised.
Ken nodded and pretended to be looking for something in his purse, when his gaze was actually on Yohji. He saw him entertain the loud, pretty women and felt an annoying twinge of jealousy. He couldn't help it. He liked Yohji's company whether he was Ken or Ani. Yohji was fun to be with and easy to talk to, and those women just stole him away from Ken.
Ken sat quietly, amidst the dizzying, raging, wild atmosphere of the club. The music vibrated through the walls and bodies, but he wasn't paying attention. I have to tell Yohji tonight that I can't see him anymore, Ken decided. He couldn't keep this up.
He looked up and searched for Yohji. He wasn't with the loud women anymore. Oh, there he is, Ken spotted him…kissing a girl?
Ken saw Yohji kissing the pixie girl. His heart constricted painfully and he felt choked up. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to get rid of the hurtful image. Getting up quickly, he hastily threw on his coat and strew a couple of crumpled bills on the counter.
I don't need to tell him that, afterall. What made me think that he was interested in me anyway? Half of the female population in this city is after him, and he can take his pick. Why would he pick me? Ken's thoughts were racing in his mind, which were mostly questions. Why?
He pushed his way through the packed room. It's so damn crowded in here! he thought angrily. Suddenly he felt a hand grope his ass. Whirling around, he saw a short, bald man grinning maliciously at him. Ken didn't even hesitate and knocked the pervert down with one striking blow to the head. Jackass.
He quickened his pace across the dance floor, trying to avoid any more sickos. All the dancing people made it really hard to get out of the place, and he found himself in the middle of a wild, dancing circle. He shook his head and mouthed "no" to a tall, black-haired guy who tried to dance with him.
He stepped away from the big mass of people and practically ran to the door. Big mistake. He had stepped on the hem of his skirt and lost his balance. Ken toppled over…into the strong, sturdy arms of none other than Yohji.
"Why didn't you tell me you were leaving?" Yohji said into Ken's ear.
