Wow, sorry for taking so long in updating... a lot of things happened since i last updated, haha.. ok enough of my real story and here i go with Beautiful Stranger, Chapter 6 !
This chapter is just a whole bunch of Tsukushi and her modeling stuff, and her making acquaintance with feature trouble makers :D
"Wow, i'm so excited, this place is beautiful" Tsukushi exclaimed.
They had arrived at Doumyouji's private island, and everyone admired the island's beauty. Doumyouji was greeted by the people he had hired for the island who had a arrived in the island a few weeks before the cruiser was expected to clean up the place.
"As you walk in the cabin area, you will be asked to give your first and last name to check in with the cabin you are assigned to." He announced "Your luggages will be carried to your cabin shortly after check-in." Tsukasa walked over to Tsukushi, and took her carry-on bag, andstarted walking towards the front of the line withher. "Oh my gosh!" She looked up at himin shock. "What ?" He just said without even looking at her. "I can't believe! Why did you just do that? Hahaha, you're very funny. Do you think people would listen to you?" she questioned. "What do you mean? I am..." he paused, he just remembered that Tsukushi didn't know that he was the president of the agency.He wasn't trying to keep it as a secret but i guess it's gotten a little carried away. "Ok, promise me you won't run away?" He said in a silly way. "Oh yeah, i would run off to the ocean filled with sharks just waiting to eat me." she said sarcastically. "Well, i've forgot to tell you that i am.. Tsukasa.. Doumyouji Tsukasa, the current president of the D. Corp." AndTsukushi's jaws dropped. "Shut up! No way! "Shesmiled really big and playfullypunched his shoulders. "Well you don't have to be to rough!" he laughed back, he was relieved to see that himhaving such a high-rank didn't really bother Tsukushi anyway.
"Tsukasa!" A rough girl's voice yelled from the back "What about me?" Shigeru rushed by his side and cut infront of Tsukushi. "Oh, hello stranger, who is this Tsukasa ?" She asked as she saw Tsukushi's face. "Oh, i haven't introduced you to her yet, have I ?" He lightly placed his arm around her shoulders and said "Her name is Tsukushi Makino, a very very good friend of mine" with a smile.
A friend? Tsukushi was a bit hurt, she was hoping he would introduce her as his girlfriend or something, but then she realized that she'd been dreaming too big. After-all, he was the president of the D. Corp and there was no way he'd refer her to his girlfriend. He would never have declared it in public, there were tons of people here just dying to hear the juiciest gossip around. She didn't know what to do or say when he told her who he was, so she tried to shrug it off by being playful but it really bothered her.
Knock, Knock
"Yes, the door is open" Tsukushi was busy putting away her clothes and neatly folding them. "My my, this COULD be a dangerous place you know young lady, you need to learn how to lock your doors." Junpei walked it in a simple surfer shorts and a white beater. "Oh shut up mister, you know you would have broke in through the window if i haven't left the door open!" and they both laughed. "I just stopped by to ask if u wanted to go see the photoshoot schedule with me."
"Why does he have to be so picky?" Junpei complained as he saw the big crowd of models trying to look at the schedules. "Why wouldn't WE make our own portfolios ?" "Stop complaining and write down your schedules." Tsukushi yelled back. "Oh look Kushi, we have our 2nd shoot together !" he exclaimed, "where did u get Kushi from ?" she was tried of hearing Kushi from Akira, and she wasn't about to take it from Junpei. "It's the last five letters of your name, silly." She glared at him and walked off.
Tsukasa had anunusual amount of paper work to deal with. After the press had found out about his modeling agency, another boat load of models has sent in their resumes in hopes of being accepted as the models, except he wasn't planning on taking very many models at this point. A couple hundred was enough. On top of all that normal business stress he had to deal with Shigeru. She was constantly bothering him about how she wanted to model with certain male models and where she wanted to model, and about spending time with her. "If you have so many god-damn complaints why don't you go wave it at your mother's face?" He finally broke his silence. "That's not nice, just wait until i get back. I will tell YOUR mother all about this!" She threatened. "What makes you think my mother would care?" Tsukasa raised his eyebrow and clicked on the red button on his phone "Kishimoto-san ? Please send up the security there is a model here full of complaints." And he watched Shigeru wide-eyed, being escorted out the door.
Even if the whole, or rather partial part of his corporation is on a semi-vacation, he still had work to deal with. I was hoping he could be able to spend it with his friend and the most important of all, Tsukushi. He felt a bit regretful about introducing her as his "friend" but he wasn't sure if his relationship with Tsukushi was even something. And if he felt so guilty later, he would go talk to her about it. He pulled up the model schedules from his computer and wrote down Tsukushi's.
"Just scoot together a little bit closer." The photographer adviced at Tsukushi and another male model. They were trying to create a "sexy" look. There are two types of sexy in the modeling world. the Maxim and Playboyish sexy, and the Haute and Vogue kind of sexy. She was in a exotic colored top like a scarf, that makes an X in the front and loops around the back, andloose skirt which was also pretty short.She was sprayed with a fake tan and had big messy curly hair decorated with matching color flowers. The male model she was posing with was also pampered with a fake tanand had corn-rows to give off that "exotic" look and dirty, ripped up jeans. To be honest, Tsukushi thought to herself as the lucky girl to be able to work with such a hottie. She pushed him up against a tree and held his hands up above his head and looked at the camera for a pose.
Then he suddenly turned her over running his hands up her waist and bringing his face into the curve of her neck. She tilted her head to the side and closed her eyes. "Boy he sure does know how to handle a woman" she thought to herself but shook it out, it was gross, trying to feel your male partner at a professional photoshoot. She smiled a bit in that though and that was the end of her first photoshoot.
"Hey, nice to meet you, my name is Kunisawa Amon" He flashed his gorgeous smile and held out a hand. "Oh nice to meet you Kunisawa-san, i am Tsukushi Makino." She smiled back and shook his hand."But you can call me Amon" he winked before grabbing his shirt from his co-ordinater. "It's been a pleasure working with you, you are gorgeous" he said before turning around and moving on to his next shoot. Tsukushi stood there for a while lovestruck. "Oh my gosh, he says i'm gorgeous..." "Of course you are" Tsukushi's co-ordinater and friend Makiko answered as she dragged her in to the trailor to change.
On her way to her cabin she met up with Junpei. "Wowi think the day went by pretty fast and all i want is a hot shower now ." He smiled a kiddy smile. "I recently found an ice-cream store near by, we can have an ice-cream social before we get out of his PARADISE!" he screamed and waved goodbye as he reached his cabin.When they parted to their cabin Tsukushi thought about Tsukasa. She hadn't seem in all day today, and she was beginning to wonder where he was.
She stepped into her cabin and turned on the lights and found a wrapped box on her bed. She opened it and found a note "Tonight is the welcome banquet." in the messiest handwriting she had ever seen. She smiled and took out the bright red dress. "Oh my.. this is beautiful..." It was an expensive designer dress limited edition color in "Lust Me, Red." She smiled at the creative color name and ran into the shower. As the fake spray-on tan washed down, her milky smooth bare skin peeked through.
Tsukasa wondered what Tsukushi was doing, it was 30 minutes before the banquet started and she wasn't likely to be late usually. He went over to her cabin and carefully walked in. He saw that she had opened his gift and smile. He walked over to the bathroom and found her just stepping out of the steaming shower. She looked up in surprise and tipy-toed towards him and threw her hands over his shoulder as sheshowered his lips with kisses. She giggled and said in a little girl voice "i missed youuu and i like the dress, it's pre-tee" and gave him a flirty smile. Oh how a girl can do such simple things and make his heart beat faster than ever. She went up to the make-up stand and started blowdrying her hair.
After another 45 minutes of waiting, she stepped out of the bathroom look beautiful just as usual with dark eye make-up and red glossy lips and a glamorous updo in the bright red dress. It had very thin straps and wrapped around her thin figure just around the right curves and showed enough skin. A big flower pinned a hand-full of the dress to the side, showing off her legs and matching heels that glittered with rhinestones.
Tsukushi had noticed Tsukasa's matching tie and hankerchieve. They were both red, and he had a black button up shirt with a nice fitted suit. He wrapped his arm around her waist and escorted her to the banquet.
