Chapter Two: Too Much
Lolli looked at her watch and sighed. It was a little after nine o'clock in the morning. Rei would have probably just woken up a few minutes ago and would probably just have found her note a few seconds ago. Lolli sighed, it broke her heart sometimes that she had to leave him alone, in bed, in order to go and work on an assignment. It wasn't fair to Rei and she knew it. She just didn't know how to get around it.
"Lolli?" A male voice asked her softly. "Are you still with us?"
Lolli shook her head to clear her brain and bring her back to her current situation. She turned to the boy that had called her, Rudy Goldenspring, and nodded to him, to let him know that she was paying attention again. Rudy nodded, smiling and then continued his speech about the girl, that they were going to interview, 's background. Lolli didn't really listen to a word that Rudy said, she had already read up on this girl and she didn't need her memory refreshed. As far as she was concerned, she shouldn't have to be here for this. Unfortunately, her fellow colleagues didn't feel the same way.
There was a thousand things that she would rather be doing right now. And pretty much all of them had something to do with Rei. Not that that was unexpected, after all, they were living together, they were going out, they were thinking about sharing the rest of their lives together. Everything in her life pretty much revolved around Rei anyways, that was just the way she was, the way Rei was, the way it should always be.
Lolli couldn't imagine how bleak the world would seem without Rei by her side. It was just be terrible, horrible, undeniably insane. Lolli would rather kill herself than remain in a world like that. Even if it meant leaving April and Shanna behind. April and Shanna were her best friends and all, but Rei was so much more.
Rei was her best friend virutally. He was her lover as well but that didn't mean that he came home just to get laid and didn't know anything about her. More often than not, Rei would stay up with Lolli in the middle of the night, just sitting with her at the kitchen table, sipping hot chocolate with her. No words passed between them at those times and Lolli had to admit that they didn't need to. It was just the fact that Rei was sitting there, with her, when he could be doing other things, that said it all. It was those kinds of little things that proved to Lolli just how much he loved her and how much he would give up for her. And how much she would give up for him.
"Alrighty then. If there's no questions about what we should do, then lets get a move on and go and interview this girl before she decides to leave down." Rudy joked. A few people laughed, but not many.
Lolli stood up and left the room, with a few people on her heels and they all went out to the three vechiles that they had decided would be used for transportation. Lolli's car was among them. Not that Lolli minded, she preferred driving a whole bunch of people in her car, than being stuck in someone else's. That was just the way she was.
Lolli turned on the car and waited until everyone was in and then backed out of her parking spot and headed for the farm that the girl was on. This would be an interesting interview. Lolli had choosen it for a reason;
This girl was obsessed with Rei.

April woke up late that morning and cursed herself for sleeping in. She was probably behind on a bunch of paperwork that she needed to get done. She didn't know for sure, she wasn't awake enough to remember. She looked to her right, to where Tala was supposed to be sleeping and found that he wasn't there. Which meant one thing, that he had woken up earlier and hadn't woken her up.
April jumped up and changed into her work clothes and then hurriedly brushed her hair, not bothering with make-up this morning. Her only consciencous thought was that she was late for work. April then ran downstairs and straight into Tala's arms, who had been standing at the bottom of the stairs, obviously getting ready to re-climb them.
April pushed him away and glared at him. "I can't believe you didn't wake me up." April pushed past him and ran into the kitchen, checking the kettle and was pleased to discover that it was still hot. She poured herself a cup of tea and grabbed a bagel. She was about to rush out the door when Tala suddenly appeared in front of it, blocking the way out from her. April glared at him and told him to move. Tala merely shook his head. "No. You're stressing yourself out. Take a deep breath and sit down for breakfast with me and then I'll let you go."
April looked at him, wondering how in the world he could think it would be that simple. "You don't understand. I have to get to work now so that I can get done my work sooner so that I can get to Kai's house before seven o'clock tonight so that I can help him out, just like I promise I would. That way I won't have run back to the office after that just to finish the work that I could be doing right this second."
Tala blinked, trying to take in what April had said and interpret it as fast as she had said it. It obviously didn't work. "April...you're stressing yourself out. If you continue to do this to yourself I'm going to have to phone Kai and tell him to make sure that you don't go over to his house to help him anymore." Tala ran his hand through his red hair. "You can't do this to yourself April. It's not healthy to run yourself until you drop."
April shrugged. "I don't care if it's healthy or not. I have to get it done. That's part of the way it is. I have to get my work down, and help Kai and move in with you all at the same time, plus I need to eat and sleep and breath. I swear Tala, I can't do this all already and you standing in front of that door isn't helping me."
Tala glanced down at the floor and then looked back up at April and shook his head. 'If me moving in with you is making you that much more stressed, than April, I'm sorry, but I don't think we should move in together."

Shanna sipped her coffee as she flipped the pages in the photo album over, looking at the different churches that April had gotten them pictures of. Shanna continued to turn the page until she was suddenly made breatheless by a certain church. Shanna touched Kai's hand, which made him look up from the photo album that he was looking at. Shanna motioned to the picture that she was looking at and Kai bent over, looking it over.
"It's a beautiful church." Kai said and looked Shanna in the eye. "Is this the one you want so far?" Kai put his hand up, motioning for Shanna not to speak. "Remember where it is and continue to look through the photo albums and then come to a decision after you've seen them all."
Shanna nodded. That was smart, trust her Kai to think of doing that. Only her Kai would be smart enough to think of something like even while he was as excited as she was. Shanna continued to look through the pictures but only half saw them and when she did, she found herself comparing them to the picture of the church she had already seen.
Kai noticed how Shanna's eyes only seemed to skim over the pictures now and smiled. That meant that she had truly fallen in love with a church. Prehaps when April came over, he would ask her what church it was and where they could find it. Then tomorrow, Kai would take Shanna there so that Kai could watch her face as she saw the church that she wanted so badly for the first time in real life. Kai grinned and found that he couldn't wait to do that. It would be fun.
The phone rang and Kai got up to answer it, letting Shanna continue to look over the pictures. "Hello, this is Kai Hiwatari speaking. Can I help you?" Kai hoped that it wasn't someone from work, he really didn't want to deal with that kind of stuff at the moment.
"Hi Kai, it's Tala." Kai smiled, thinking that this was just a friendly, no strings attached call from Tala. "I was calling to ask you something. It's kinda important." Tala took a breath. "I think that April's taking too much stuff on her shoulders."
"What do you mean Tala?" Kai asked.
"Well, she's helping you with your wedding right." Tala asked, but he didn't wait for a response before going on. "She's also working on this special branch of the company and taking of all these different reports and reviews and stuff." Tala sighed. "Then, on top of all of that, she's moving in with me. It's not that I don't appreciate how much she does. It's just, she really is starting to collapse under all the pressure." Tala shook his head. "She was having a spaz attack because she was fifteen minutes late Kai. That's never happened before, usually she would just shrug it off but she didn't today. Kai..I'm worried about her."
Kai nodded. "I understand why. If Shanna was like that, I don't know what I'd do. I'm going to go up to the office today and I'll see what I can do about lowering the pressure on her shoulder. About the other two things...I don't know if I can ask her not to help us out on the wedding."
Tala sighed. "You don't have to. Just get the company to lighten up on her. I've already told her that we're not moving in just yet." Tala sighed again. "I want to move in with her Kai, I really do, but I can't right now. It's just putting too much on her shoulder. So I'm going to wait until after the wedding and then I'll try again." There was a pause. "She started to cry when I told her that Kai. I didn't know what to do. It hurt me so much to see her like that but I knew it would just get worse as time went on so I put my foot down Kai."
"I would have done the same thing in your position Tala, I'm sure of it. And it probably will hurt for awhile but just remember why you're doing this and you'll be fine." Kai took a deep breath. "Listen, I gotta go. Talk to you later."
"Yah, talk to you later." There was a click and Kai knew that Tala had hung up so he did the same.
