Chapter Three: Kamakura – A Place To Get Away

Julia woke up and sighed as she stretched her arms over her head. She dropped her hands by her sides and turned over onto her stomach. She got up and walked into the bathroom. Brushing her teeth quickly before going back out to the room and fixing the bed.

Jin sat at the kitchen table with a glass of orange juice as he stared out the window. He heard footsteps and turned to see Julia there. She had on some pink stripped pajama pants that were a size to big and a pink spaghetti strap tank top that showed off her mid-drift. Jin just looked at her as she walked in. He smiled and looked down at his glass. She walked over to the fridge and poured herself a glass as well, then sat across from Jin. She took a sip before, speaking. "Good morning."

"Good morning to you too." Jin said smiling. "By the way… I like your pajamas." Julia blushed and looked at him and noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt. It wasn't the first time she's seen him without his shirt, but she began to wonder what he slept in.

"I just hope your wearing pants." Jin smiled seductivly and got up, Julia blushed looked down at the counter before looking up at him seeing him in some dark blue silk bottoms. She smiled and looked out the window.

"So did you have a good nights sleep?" Julia nodded as she took a sip of her orange juice.

"Yeah I did, that bed is so comfortable. Plus I don't have people waking me up so early in the morning, or my father calling me."

Jin looked at the clock on the stove and laughed. "Early? It still is… eight- thirty"

"Yeah but that's different, I woke up by myself, no one did it for me." Julia got up and began washing her glass. Jin stood with his arms crossed by the sink and watched her. "So what do you have in store for us today?"

"I don't know… maybe… stay here and relax. Maybe head out to the beach later." Julia nodded and walked into the living room.

"Good because I plan on staying in my pajamas as long as I can." Jin sat down next to her on the coach and laughed.

"Why is that?"

"Because I never get to at home, I always have to look presentable." Jin nodded and laid down resting his head in Julia's lap.

"Hey, hey now, when did I say you could do this?" Jin looked at her and shrugged.

"You didn't, I just did it." Julia laughed and pushed his bangs away from his eyes. Jin just stared up at her as she played with his hair, running her fingers through it and twirling his bangs around her finger.

"Do you know how beautiful you look?" Julia blushed and continued to play with his hair before answering him.

"No but my daddy calls me his princess all the time." Jin laughed and closed his eyes.

Julia sat in the sand running her hands slowly over it; she had decided to come out to the beach and was now waiting for Jin to come down. She looked out into the ocean and sighed blissfully, for the first time in her life everything was going right. She was in Kamakura which in her opinion was one of the most beautiful places in Japan, with her best friend, that just happens to be a gorgeous guy who she's had a crush on for the past couple months. Even though it could have been her imagination, she began to think that maybe Jin felt the same way.

Jin walked out of the house and past the pool. He looked out towards the beach and smiled; he would soon walk past a thin line of trees and see her. Jin smiled even wider as he walked down a cobblestone path. He took a deep breath and could actually smell the sea salt. He continued to walk until he finally reached the beach; he looked around and saw Julia sitting in the sand near the water. Jin just stood there for a moment taking it all in. There she was sitting in the sand with a light brown bikini on. He'd seen her in a one piece before but for some reason this was the first time she's ever worn something so reveling. "But then again I'm not complaining."

Jin walked towards her and stopped right beside her as he looked down at her. Julia smiled and looked up at him. That's when she noticed he was smiling.

"What are you smiling at?" Julia asked laughing.

"When did you start wearing bikinis? You always wear those whole ones."

Julia laughed and looked over at the water before looking back at Jin. "First off my dad would kill me if I wore something like this to your house or while you were around. Second it's a holiday; I'm away from home, so I can wear what I want and this is what I wanted to wear... Xiayou picked it out, you like?" Jin looked at Julia and raised an eyebrow.

"What do you think?" Julia blushed and saw that Jin was holding a bag.

"What's in the bag?"

Jin sat down next to her and pulled the bag onto his lap. "Well I have towels, a blanket, suntan lotion, some water, and then snacks. That's about it… oh and this…" Jin pulled out a camera and

snapped a picture of Julia.

"Jin!" Julia reached over and tried to grab it. Jin just laughed and put the camera back in the bag.

Julia stood up and sighed, "Fine be that way, but I will get you back."

Jin laughed, "Yeah right… I'll be waiting." Julia smiled and tried to grab the bag but Jin caught her around the waist. "What are you gonna do now?" Jin said picking her up. He started carrying her towards the water. "Not so tough now huh?"

"Bite me." Julia said laughing but laughed harder when she felt his teeth on her arm. "Jin!"

"What?" Jin laughed as he reached the shore and kept walking farther into the water.

"It's cold!" Julia shrieked kicking her legs. "Let me go… Jin come on!"

"Okay!" Jin dropped Julia into the cold water of the ocean. Julia came up and wiped her hair out of her face. Jin on the other hand was laughing hysterically.

"Funny" Julia jumped on Jin causing him to fall over into the water. Julia laughed as Jin came up. He was wiping water way from his face when he looked at her. His hair was all wet and matted down; his bangs were flattened against his face. Julia walked up to him and brushed them out of his eyes. Jin looked at her and quickly grabbed her pulling her to him. He began spinning in the water as she laughed. He stopped and put her down while keeping his arms around her waist. Julia sighed and brushed her hair out of her face. They just stood there, Jin staring down at her; he cupped her cheek and ran his thumb over her bottom lip. Julia slowly raised her eyes to his; she just stood there, not daring to move a muscle. Jin leaned in closer to her; Julia closed her eyes just as his lips touched hers. Jin pulled her closer when he felt her respond to his kiss. Julia moved one of her hands to his neck, while the other was on his chest. Jin opened his mouth letting his tongue trace her bottom lip, Julia taking the hint opened her mouth, she felt him moan and pulled herself closer to him to deepen the kiss. Needed to catch his breath Jin pulled away slightly; he kissed her softly before pulling apart completely. Julia's eyes fluttered open, as Jin looked down at her.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that." Jin said giving her a small smile.

Julia blushed looking down, she smiled. Jin had been waiting to kiss her… "Well… if you've been waiting as long as I have for you to do that… then you've been waiting a while." Jin laughed and pulled her closer to him.

"Well I think we should head inside," Julia nodded as they began walking back hand in hand. Julia looked over at Jin and smiled. He smiled back pulling her to him and picking her up. Julia laughed wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Well this is nice." Jin looked down at her.

"I bet it is…" Jin continued to walk up the beach when Julia's stopped him

"Jin the bag" He sighed and put her down. Julia grabbed the bag and walked back towards him. When she reached down to get that bag she had unzipped it and now had her hand inside as they walked. Julia smiled as she found what she was looking for; she slowed down letting Jin walk a little ways in front of her.

"Hey Jin" He turned around just in time for her to get a picture of him. "Ha! Told you I'd get you back." Jin stepped towards Julia and she ran past him towards the house. Jin laughed and ran after her.

Jin had just gotten out the shower, when he put on some pajama bottoms and made his way towards Julia's room. After the beach, they had something to eat before both heading their separate ways, that was two hours ago. He went trained a little, before hitting the shower. Julia on the other hand went to call Nana. When he got to her room he noticed the door was cracked open. He could see her just lying on her bed looking out the sliding door that was open. He knocked on the door causing Julia to jump and look over at him. She smiled and sat up.

"Sorry I scared you." Jin said as he leaned against the door frame.

"It's nothing, come on in." Jin smiled as he made his way over towards her, he got on her bed laid down on his side, using his arm to hold himself up to look at her.

"Was I disturbing you?" Jin said taking her hand in his.

Julia looked down at his hand, which was much bigger than hers. "No I was just… here." She laughed and looked away. "I was just thinking and all."

He nodded and looked out the sliding door. "About?"

Julia bit her lip and smiled. "You"

Jin looked at her confused "Me?"

Julia nodded "Yeah you… nothing bad, I just couldn't help but think of you."

Jin smiled "Well that's good because I was thinking about you too."

"Yeah that is good." Julia said laughing; Jin leaned back pulling her down with him.

Julia rested her head on his stomach as he ran his fingers through her hair. "So how is Nana?"

"She doing well told me my dad is kinda mad." Jin sat up and looked down at her.

"Mad? Why?"

Julia shrugged as she played with the strings of her bottoms. "I guess because I put a big hole in his plans."

"How'd you do that?"

"Your grandfather didn't come, so there's no way I can impress him and help my dad out, business wise."

"Does your dad ever think of anything else beside his business?" Julia laughed and shook her head. "Well you didn't do anything to his plans, you didn't get a chance to impress my grandfather but if it makes you feel any better, you sure as hell impressed the crap out of me with that bikini and those lips of yours." Jin said kissing her quickly.

Julia laughed and cuddled closer to him. "Yeah well you did some impressing of your own."

They sat there talking for a while. By the time they noticed it was already dark out side. Jin got up and walked over towards the sliding door. He closed it causing the curtains to fall lifelessly against it. He turned around and saw Julia was still in the same spot he had left her in. The only difference was she was looking down at her hands.

"Duckie what's wrong?" Jin said sitting next to her again.

"I just… I know this is gonna sound forward and all but… do you think… that maybe you can… possibly stay with me tonight? I mean today has just been such a good day, I'm just not ready for us to go our separate ways, even if it is just while we sleep."

Jin placed a finger under her chin and forced her to look at him. "It's more than fine. I'd be glad to… I was thinking the same thing. I was just gonna go to my room and sulk." Julia laughed and got up. She waked over to the right side and began to pull down the covers, but stopped when she noticed Jin was watching her.

"What is it?"

"Well…uh I usually sleep on the…uh right side." Julia looked at him and smiled.

"I think you can deal for tonight."

"But you don't understand… I ALWAYS sleep on the right side."

"Well so do I" Jin crossed his arms and pouted his lip at her.

"Oh come on, Jin go to your own room then." Julia said laughing. He opened his mouth to say something when Julia stopped him. "Fine you can have the right side." Julia said walking towards him.

"No that's fine, I sleep on either side." Jin said getting into bed. Julia stood there playfully glaring at him.

"Your mean" Julia crawled into bed beside him. He turned to face her and laughed. She couldn't help but laugh too. He stopped and leaned over her.

"Goodnight Duckie" Jin said kissing her, he leaned back and closed his eyes.

"Goodnight Jin." Julia said resting her head on his chest. Jin smiled wrapping his arm around her.
