He sat in the seat that had been specially reserved for him; he lifted the folded white card that said in black lettering, Reserved for Aki Ueda and sat down in the red covered seat. Some lady with curly blond hair sat to his right and a large, bald man in casual attire sat to his left. He sort of felt out of place, being that he was the only one wearing baggy tan pants, his checker sneakers and a heavy black coat. His hair was messy and he still hadn't shaved his stubble like he promised Téa. He wasn't in the best mood either, last night he had gotten thrashed and now he was in this noisy auditorium for a girl he could no longer see himself with. He closed his eyes and soundly the lights dimmed the stage lit and people stilled. He looked up at the red curtain. Téa wouldn't be on for a while. With hours passing by slowly and dully Aki was a few moments from getting up and leaving all together. The noise faded and the guy and girl bowed and left the stage. Aki drew in a breath as the curtains closed and then reopened.

She was dressed in a silk red dress with twisted frills of the end of the skirt and it had one ruffled shoulder. She looked beautiful. Her slippers were a matching blood red and her lips were painted and her make-up done. He had never seen her with make-up, maybe a little lip-gloss and eye shadow, but this? Never. She was in this little pose, up on the balls of her feet and her arms extended to the side, the other just above her head and her hand bent down. The music started up, some American song translated in Japanese.

Here's the chance of life

Get ready, set, fly

High

Above the fear of your mind

Go for it

It's hit or miss

Too late for you to quit

You gotta show them how bad you really want this

Aki watched, entranced for hours as his girlfriend danced to the upbeat music in the sexy outfit that was just right for her. The music went on and on and she was graceful with her twirls and her jumps, her dance and when it was all over the spell was broken. Aki clapped loudly for his girlfriend and stood up with the rest of the audience, mainly because Téa was the last act. He walked down the aisle and headed towards the stage door. He showed the man his reserve card and was allowed access. "Aki!" Téa cried and ran over to him. Aki caught her in his embrace and held her, his mouth close to her neck.

"That was amazing Téa, you were awesome. I was totally taken with you." She pulled back and smiled up at him.

"You mean it?"

"Absolutely. Why don't I take you home and we'll celebrate. I got dinner okay." She nodded and got back up on her feet and kissed him on the mouth.

"Okay, let me change." He nodded and she took off and he turned to see Mr. And Mrs. Gardner walking his way.

"Hello, Aki." They said, one after the other.

"Hello, sir, ma'am." He bowed to them and they bowed back. "I was wondering if I could take Téa back to my place for dinner."

"You always have her home on time. Sure." Mrs. Gardner said in her fluttery tone. Aki smiled and moments later Téa came rushing over to them in low rider jeans and a black belly shirt, her hair damp with shower water and pulled up into a ponytail.

"Mom! Dad!" She embraced both of them and took the roses her father had brought. "These are beautiful." she said pressing her nose to the soft red petels.

"We just want to say that was the most beautiful thing we ever saw, you were the best act."

"You're only saying that cause you're my mom and dad."

"Among that." Her father said, smiling. Aki tucked Téa to his side and kissed the side of her head.

"No, they're right, I was falling asleep before you came on." Téa smiled and she gave the flowers back to her parents. She said her good-byes and she walked off with Aki. When they got to his place dinner had been set up and it was lovely. Téa voiced her thoughts and Aki smiled at her, feeling bad for what he was going to tell her after dinner. Somehow he never got around to it, they had been laughing and talking and being silly like they had when they first met. He took her home and they sat on her bed, kissing softly. He was about to take his leave when...

"Who was the girl who picked up your phone?" Téa suddenly asked, tightening her jacket around her torso. So that was who called and hung up. Aki smiled softly at Téa.

"A girl I spent my childhood with. Yukari Soryo." She could hear it in his voice, the way he had felt about her, the way he probably still felt about her and she decided right then that she really loved Aki, to the point of doing anything, anything at all to keep him. She slipped out of her jacket and threw her body against his. She was kissing him firmly, an open mouth kiss. His eyes widen at her movement and he held her ribs. Téa's arms wrapped around his neck and she got up on her knees straddling his thighs. Her chest pressed against his and she slipped one arm down and got inside his jacket. Her fingers lifted up the hem of his shirt and she could feel his soft, firm skin. Her mouth closed so that their lips lined perfectly and her tongue brushed against the line that separated the top lip from the bottom, seeking entrance, which he granted. Soft tongues, rolling and caressing against one another. She let out a hot breath as he pushed against her. Aki's hands pushed up her shirt until he got it off her head, leaving her in nothing but a strapless bra and jeans. She moved her hands down his jacket, pushing it off onto the bed and they both removed his torso tight turtleneck gray sweater. She pressed her hands against his firm shoulders. She pushed him back and they fell against the bed. Their kisses were growing intense by the moment.
