Simple Truth
Chapter One: Truth
I am alone again. Aoshi has left so early for work that I didn't even get to tell him 'goodbye'. As I roll over to his side on the bed, I only smell his scent, pine. I savoir the smell, only then I could really feel that he's close to me. I am not brooding over, that he's not there for me nor that he doesn't spend time with me. I'm just scared that he might leave me for good. I just know that there's still a way to save us from being completely separated. Yes, we are together, but our feelings have already separated us; I can only hope that he'll give us one more try.
As I get out of bed and start to fix it, I think of what to do for today. It's always the same, wake up; clean any necessary things, eat, and wait for Aoshi's arrival. As I walk over the counter in the kitchen, I see a note from Aoshi. He rarely leaves a note for me; I have a feeling that it's something important.
Kaoru,
Don't cook dinner. I'm going to pick you up, We're going to out.
Aoshi
No endearment.
Ring. Ring.
I wonder who want to call this early.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Hey, it's Megumi."
My sister.
"Hello? Kaoru, are you there?" Megumi asked. I was in a trance before I realized it.
"Yeah, where are you, I thought you were in Italy?" I asked her, for I was sure she should be in Italy.
"I was I decided to check up on you. I'm staying in a hotel." She informed me, "do you go out for lunch, you know catch up with each other."
"I'd love too. But, I need to get ready for dinner, and I have loads of cleaning to do. Maybe you should come over for dinner with us." I told her.
"Well, I can't, not tonight, and I don't want to spoil your dinner together. Maybe, tomorrow night I could come."
"Okay, I expect to see you. You still know where we live right?" I asked, thinking that she might not know where I live. After all it's been a year since I've seen her.
"Yes, of course I still know where. Well then bye."
"Bye." I hanged up.
I need to get ready, I'm sure Aoshi will be bringing me to some expensive restaurant.
After getting ready, I chose a black knee length gown, its not that flashy, that makes me look like I'm going to a movie premier. It shows a little cleavage, but not too much, to embarrass myself. I didn't put a lot of make- up, just a touch of blush, and a dab of red lipstick. I don't need anything to put in my eyes, they're already perfect, Aoshi told me, but I doubt it.
As I wait in the living room, I roamed me eyes around the room; making me feel as if this is the first time I've seen the room; couches, a coffee table, another table at the side with a lamp on top of it and a picture of our wedding, when we looked very much in love. I looked at the picture more closely; I felt a pang of pain in my heart. When will we be back to those time, when we forgot what pain was? There were pictures of me and Aoshi on the wall; those were the only thing that reminded me of our happiness.
Knock, knock.
It must be Aoshi. I opened the door for him; he was still wearing his suit, something that made me want to come into contact with him. He looks at me with a look full of lust, but no love. He hasn't seen me wear this gown yet. I was being provocative; maybe he'll see that if he doesn't change his attitude towards me, there'll be a barrage of men that would be after me.
"You look great, I haven't seen you wear that before." He commented.
"Thank you. It was behind the other clothes." I confessed. He offered his hand, I took it. He led to his Mercedes, it was new, and he just bought it yesterday. Another addition to his growing collection of cars, a variety of them where from before, but he's still adding more.
What can I do, he has money to use and just throw around. I haven't worked for a long time now, I'm not even sure if I still know how to be a lawyer. I have to bring this up later on tonight.
We drove towards a new restaurant just a mile from where we live. It's the grand opening, high class people are there waiting for the ribbon to be cut. Aoshi looks at me; I look back at him with a questioning look. As we came nearer I caught the name of the restaurant, Sapphire. We got out and he handed the keys to a young man, who'd take our car to the valet parking.
"Aoshi what are we doing here?" I asked him, still confused about the whole thing.
"Just wait." He told me.
He moved onward towards the front of the crowd, everyone stopped once he started talking.
"Ladies and gentleman, thank you for coming to the grand opening of Sapphire. I would just like to call my wife to come here and give us the honor of cutting the ribbon." Aoshi told the pack of crowd.
I stared at him, disbelieving what I heard. I started walking towards the center where Aoshi was. I was next to him in an instant, he handed me the scissors and I turned towards where the ribbon was. After cutting the ribbon everyone clapped, and they were led inside the restaurant. The inside was extravagant, there were waitresses waiting for the guest to come and to lead them to their seat. Aoshi and I seated on the side, Aoshi preferred to be on the side so that no one could hear or see us talking.
"Aoshi, where are we, and why did you make me cut the ribbon?" I asked quickly after I was seated.
"Kaoru, relax this is all to be enjoyed." He told me. I was still confused.
"No. I want to know now." I demanded.
He was still calm, I thought he didn't hear me, I was to repeat what I just told him, but he spoke before I could ask him the question. "I own this restaurant. I've been working on this for almost a year."
Now I understood what was up during those time pain.
"The name of the restaurant was after the color of your eyes." He told me.
I blushed; he named this restaurant after me. So he does still love me. "Thank you" Was all that I could say. Maybe, he still has hope that this thing between us could still work, at least I hope so. There are so many sorrows that have vanished in me when he smiled at me, for the first time after the grieving. There was still something that was left unanswered in me, that I couldn't seem to put my finger into. I let it drop me he took my hands from under the table, and held it as we waited for our food to come.
Everything subsided, and all I could feel and look at where his warm eyes. We ate our food, and drove back home, we got in the house quickly when it suddenly started raining. My gown clung to my body, showing my curves, Aoshi's eyes roamed my body, and I could feel the heat it was giving off.
He walked over me and kissed me hard on my lips, taking all he could take. He moved his lips unto my neck kissing it and sucking all the flesh he could get; I could just moan in ecstasy and pleasure. I held his head and tilted my head back; he swept me of my feet, still kissing me on my neck. He walked up the stairs, and left my neck, and moved back to my lips which were already swollen, I didn't care. He dropped me of my feet gently, and pushed me on the wall, trapping me from any escape, I was vulnerable with his touch. He opened the nearest door he could open, which happened to be a guest room, for our room was on the east side and we were on the west side of the mansion. He pushed me gently onto the bed. And that night we made love.
I actually felt his love, and the warmth of his body, I was content. I lay in his arms, somehow I felt different, and he was different. I could feel is heart beating, and his breathing, it was calm and there was a rhythm that I soon followed. There was something wrong, and I'm sure of it, but I let drop; I'll worry about later on, but for now I was content.
