She was very beautiful. Eriol noted to Lei just by saying "my god look". Lei hesitated a moment, and then glanced at her. Very well built girl with a nice body. In a red corset rimmed with black feathers. And black knickers. With a feather coming out of her curls that were pulled into a bun. She had diamonds adorning the corset and her ears. And very much around her neck... Redish brown hair and green blue eyes. Just a beauty.
She sung in a womans voice, yet a little girlish. All the guys whistled and threw roses and banging on thier tables. Ordering more drinks and calling to the girl to come to thier table and sit on it and sing.
"Savages, Eriol. Why don't they go home to thier wifes?" Lei demanded, turning a bit read in the cheeks.
"Yes I see you're not having a good time. Sorry I dragged you into this."
"You were just trying to be a friend. It's fine"
Before Eriol and Lei could leave. She show girl had come down from the stage and stopped Lei by grabbing his shoulder from behind. Her song was over and the guys had been settled down. Lei halted and turned around. "Yes?"
"Am I not entertaining enough?"
"It's not that ma'am.. it's just... I'm not feeling well."
"How so?"
Eriol shook his head and nodded. "I'll head home. You stay and chat a while. I have to get back to a case at the court anyway."
Xiulang scowled at him. He was leaving Lei with this prostitute... and she probably had thoughts on his mind. Eriol, you devil you. Eriol snickered and left.
"Have a seat then!" said the show girl. And Lei sat back down at the table he once was at. He sighed and mummbled in his head. But smiled warmly to her. She smiled and took the half drinking glass of alchohol and traced the rim of it with her finger. "So, what's on your mind?"
Lei decided to bring Meiling into this. "My fiancee."
"Fiancee?" She looked a little dissapointed. Lei smiled in his head.
"Yes, my fiancee. I had been out of town... for... a month. Today was my first night back. Somehow I feel like coming here I have betrayed her."
"Such a moral man."
"Heh."
"... What's your name anyways?"
"Xiulang Lei. Dr. Lei."
"Oh a doctor?" She giggled, "Sakura."
"And your last name?"
"I don't know. I never knew my parents. And this is just how I make my living."
"Yes, living is hard."
"Indeed. So! Enough about me! Tell me about this fiancee of yours?"
"Ah! I could sit up all night and talk about her. Meiling Li. She's amazing. I mean I don't even know where to begin."
"Well begin with how you met.. tell me that."
There was a pause from Lei as he slid into thought. "Picture.. spring time... boy meets girl. I see this beautiful young made sitting under this tree. It shaded her as she was drawing a flower. We were, only school kids, so she was dressed in a school uniform, and I in mine. I was a very shy boy... but I had my two good friends Yamazaki and Eriol to nudge me on. So eventually I walked up and sat next to her. I think she was rather uncomfortable with me being there. A boy... and her alone under a tree. And me, asking silly questions like `what are you drawing?` I guess in my eyes that was silly. Because I was so speachless. I couldn't find the words to say to such an amazing girl. So finally we warmed up to each other and eventually got to talking. Oh she told me about her family and some boys she had met. Tell finally things got silent. And she say `tis may be a bit suddenly Xiulang. But I have never told any man that story of my life, and I just feel like I can trust you. And I really like you`... Of course I was taken aback. From that moment on we got closer and closer. And eventually one night while she was upset over some fight she had with her cousin, and it was about midnight on new years. And I asked her to marry me. And kissed her at midnight."
"How cute! You sound like... Mr. Perfect."
"Nah."
Lei and Sakura stayed up till late, talking and exchanging storys. Several times the girl had hit on him, but Lei acted nonchelont and just smiled.
"Sakura, I would love to stay and chat but i really need to be going. It's very late."
"Aw. Well alright."
"But listen," Lei, during the conversation, had really taken into consideration what this girl had been through. She was going down the wrong path in life, and he figured he could help in some way. "Do call me, or stop by if you are ever in trouble." He picked a pen out of his jacket pocket after he slipped it on and wrote on a napkin his address and number. He handed it to her and she blushed. "Thank you Xiulang."
Xiulang nodded once and waved goodbye... and left the theatre.
