Nozomi's eyes opened, letting in the light around her. Her bedroom always let in a lot of light, while Eli had blackout curtains, holding the light back with a firm hand.

Eli was the miracle Nozomi needed, Promise was the miracle she needed. Her previous situation had been less than desirable, though Nozomi hated to think about it. When she received her job at Promise, she had only a small amount of modeling experience, but not enough to get by. Nozomi's charm had saved her, her natural instinct, though she was still almost fired.

It was all thanks to Eli.

Nozomi never cared that she was being manipulated, being used for sexual favors, anything was better than what she came from. Even now, with Eli's interest in Nico, she wasn't scared. Eli had taken interest in other girls before, used them before, but her interest in Nozomi remained.

This is what Nozomi thinks every single day, and what she vowed to think until her last breath.

She got up and straight out of bed, stretching before she headed to the kitchen to make coffee. Finally, sitting down with a cup of coffee, she took a sip and opened her email app. Promptly spitting the coffee out, she grabbed the package and looked at the flavor.

Caramel.

Nozomi despised caramel with a passion. Dumping the coffee down the drain, she sat back down. Though her stomach growled, she refused to eat anything, having gained a little weight recently. Thankfully, no one had noticed, not even Eli, but it still bugged Nozomi. She looked back at her email.

Miss Tojo,

You have been assigned a solo shoot.

Please report to set E-2.

Rolling her eyes, Nozomi went into her bedroom, opening the door to her closet. It was massive, like the rest of her condo, storing all of the clothing she had bought or received from Eli. She chose a three layered, black ruffle skirt with blue-violet trim, black thigh highs, shiny black boots, a white shirt with purple splatters, the word ROCK in big, bold, black letters, a black belt, and a lavender coat. Quickly brushing her hair out, Nozomi put her signature low pigtails in, grabbing her phone and heading out.

Roaring her Prius' engine to life, she pulled out and sped off, over twenty minutes late to pick up Nico. When I arrived, Nico quickly ran out of her apartment in her new coat. Nozomi was happy; Nico had finally accepted the gifts she received, Nozomi knowing that she was bound to receive more.

"Do you think it would be a good idea to take Nico to dinner?"

"You're late, Nozomi!"

"Sorry, had an early morning epiphany." Nico chuckled.

Speeding off once again, Nozomi hit her record time of five minutes to get to work, the pair slamming the doors and locking the car as they ran inside. Quickly heading up to set E-2, the two parted ways, Nico going to the next set over.

"See ya, Nozo."

"Bye-bye, Nicocchi~"

Walking into set E-2, Nozomi was surprised to see a green screen set up. There was a portion of a set set up in front of it, looking like a casino, but the rest was green screen. Promise almost never used green screens, only owning a few of the annoyingly colored backgrounds.

"Gamble, Miss Tojo?" one of the photographers asked.

"No, never."

"Las Vegas is known for casinos. Apparently a travel agency thought it would make an appealing ad."

"Ugh..."

Nozomi quickly got dressed, being given fishnet thigh highs, a black garter belt, a skin-tight, shiny leather miniskirt, gold trimmed cuffs, a weird red and green top, along with a collar that matched the cuffs, the red bowtie bearing a gold die in the center. Quickly brushing Nozomi's hair out and replacing her scrunchies with gold trimmed black ones, she was ready to go.

Once she got sat down on one of the dealer tables, Nozomi looked around for things to play with. She hated boring or gaudy solo shoots, being in pairs or groups was much better. Plus, she hadn't had her coffee this morning, causing her to be in a terrible mood. Spotting a set of cards, she motioned for it, playing around with it. It was a normal set of 52.

"Hm… it depends on where you'd want to take her, Elicchi."

Nozomi glanced over at the camera, squinting a little. She picked two random cards and tossed the other 50 onto the table, almost knocking the chips over. Squeezing one in between her breasts, she took the other into her left hand, flashing a big smile to the camera. Several shots were taken, the photographer giving her a thumbs up, and the shoot was over.

After Nozomi changed, her phone buzzed; a new email.

Miss Tojo,

Due to your tardiness, please report to Miss Ayase's office on the 13th floor.

"Mm… maybe that nice Italian place, French cuisine might alarm her."

Nozomi got on the elevator, pressing the number 13. All alone, she took the elevator up until it stopped, quickly walking out of the elevator. She casually walked into Eli's office, finding the woman drinking tea, a cup opposite of her. Sitting down, Eli poured Nozomi a cup of tea, fixing it just the way Nozomi liked.

"I heard you arrived late again."

"Only from thinking about you, Elicchi." Eli smiled.

"You won't be jealous if I pursue Nico, will you?"

"Are you willing to pursue both of us?"

"I have plenty of money, love, and sexual desires to go around, my dear Nozomi."

Nozomi stared into Eli's vibrant blue eyes, thinking, "Do the Italian place."

"Oh? So you've been thinking about this, haven't you?"

"Nico only has a small apartment, she took the train before I started driving her to work. She's embraced your doting already, you know. And… I wouldn't be lying if..."

"If?"

"Never mind, it's nothing."

"Hm… I wouldn't be the only one doting on her, you know."

"Y-You don't mean…?"

"Yes."

Eli set her cup down, moving to sit down next to Nozomi. She brushed her hair back, kissing Nozomi's neck gently, biting and tugging on Nozomi's earlobes, earning a small whimper. Eli smiled, running her hand along Nozomi's side, settling it on the girl's thigh.

"Would you like to test her, Nozomi?"

"Just don't take her to the French restaurant."

Eli giggled, kissing Nozomi passionately.

Later…

"It's about time, Nicocchi! I've been waiting here forever," Nozomi teased, leaned up against her car while she waited for Nico.

"Soorrrryy, I had to finish my second shoot. Hey, you wanna come over to my place again tonight?"

"Ehh? You're still letting me come after I collapsed in a drunken state on your couch? Seriously, though, it's about time you come over to mine."

"I actually get to see how nice of a place you live in? A nice place to match your nice car?" Nico giggled, Nozomi pinching her cheek in retaliation.

Once their seat-belts were buckled and their bags were in the backseat, Nozomi pulled out of the lot, turned the corner, and drove off to her house. The weather was slowly warming up, the days heading towards March, winter turning into spring. Turning onto her street, Nozomi parked in her assigned spot. Nico got out of the car, staring up at the tall building. While it wasn't as tall as Promise, it was still several stories.

The pair walked in, taking the elevator up to the fifth floor, two condos residing within it. Turning to the left, Nozomi unlocked her door, welcoming Nico in. The condo was painted dark purple, large windows lining the room, covered by light gray curtains. Nozomi didn't have a TV, but a desktop off to the side, a laptop sitting on her white couch. There was an opening to the right of the entrance, opening up to a hallway, Nozomi's bathroom on the left, kitchen on the right, and her bedroom at the end of the hall. The condo was easily twice the size of Nico's apartment.

"This is where you live?! It's huge!"

"Mhmm, for almost a year now."

Nico ran and jumped onto the couch, narrowly avoiding the laptop. Nozomi giggled, settling in next to her, setting the laptop onto the coffee table.

"Hey, wanna watch some Korean dramas, Nicocchi?"

"Which one?"

"Hello My Twenties?"

"Oooh! Which part were we at, again?"

After watching a few episodes, Nico's stomach growled. The small woman complained, and Nozomi tried her best to hide how hungry she was, not having eaten in two days.

"Heey, Nozo, let's order some pizza! What kind do you like?"

"I-I'm not hungry. You can order some for yourself, if you'd like, I can give you my address."

Nozomi's stomach growled loudly, Nico pouting, "Uhuh, not hungry. What do you think you're doing?"

"I… I gained weight…"

"How much? It can't be that much, you don't look any different. Maybe you just grew a cup size, I certainly wish I could..."

"No one's noticed, not even… I gained two pounds! I'm a model, I can't gain weight!"

"You certainly don't want to look like a skeleton, either, do you?"

Tears welled up in Nozomi's eyes, falling down her cheeks. She gripped her stomach as it growled, sobbing and sniffling. Nico grabbed her phone, dialing the number to a pizza place, ordering a large three meat pizza with cinnamon sticks for a side. When the delivery man arrived, Nico threw money at him, taking the boxes and slamming the door, setting them down on the table. Going into Nozomi's rather luxurious kitchen, Nico grabbed two purple plates, filling two glasses with random soda out of the fridge, and went back into the living room. Serving up a couple slices for each of them and opening the frosting for the cinnamon sticks, Nico turned on the next episode of Hello My Twenties, snuggling close to Nozomi as they ate.

Later…

The pair of girls had gotten through three entire episodes of Hello My Twenties, the darkness and cold of night creeping in through Nozomi's windows. Nico had fallen asleep a few minutes ago, her head resting on Nozomi's shoulder.

Nozomi kissed Nico, waking the smaller girl up. Even though she was groggy, she slipped her tongue into Nozomi's mouth, swirling it around. Nozomi slid her hands along Nico's sides, pulling her closer. They kissed for a few minutes before breaking it for air, a string of saliva connecting their mouths.

Staring at each other, they got up and walked down the hall to Nozomi's bedroom. Or, at least, they tried, kissing each other once again. Nico started to take off Nozomi's clothes, Nozomi doing the same after she processed what Nico was doing. By the time they got to the bedroom door, the floor was littered with clothing.

Nozomi pushed Nico onto the purple bed, getting on top of her. She bit her neck, Nico whimpering softly, and let her hands roam. She squeezed her small breasts and rubbed her sides, Nico grabbing Nozomi's ass in response. She groped and massaged Nozomi's curves, moaning when the purple-haired woman slipped her fingers into her. It was Nico's first time, so Nozomi took it slow and vanilla, being gentle.

Nico took Nozomi's face into her hands and kissed her again, immediately slipping her tongue into Nozomi's mouth. Their tongues swirled around each other and Nico moaned into the kiss, feeling Nozomi's fingers push deeper. Nozomi kept it up, pushing her fingers in deep and pulling them almost all the way out, satisfied with how the smaller girl wiggled and moaned beneath her.

She wasn't ready for Nico to slip her fingers down Nozomi's body, using her index and middle fingers to press and rub Nozomi's clit, causing her to moan and grind against Nico's delicate fingers. In return and slightly out of rebellion, Nozomi pressed her thumb to Nico's clit, making Nico break the kiss and moan. Taking the opportunity, Nozomi bit one of Nico's nipples and started sucking on it, swirling her tongue over it.

Panting from the new attention, Nico ground against Nozomi's hand, trying to get her thumb to move up and down on her clit. It worked only slightly, being enough to make Nico cum with a loud moan, arching her back in pleasure while Nozomi continued to suck on her hard nipple.

Once she recovered, she pushed Nozomi off of her, laying slightly over her. Nico's right leg was in between Nozomi's, her stomach slightly pressed against Nozomi's side, and she started sucking on Nozomi's left nipple, massaging her other breast and pinching the nipple. Sliding her right hand down Nozomi's stomach, she continued what she'd started previously, rubbing Nozomi's clit with her index and middle fingers once again. Things stayed that way for a few minutes, Nico periodically switching between Nozomi's tits, while the older girl moaned loudly.

Nozomi hadn't met someone who could make her moan like Eli did since, well, Eli. Biting her lip, she tried to stifle her moans and stave off her oncoming orgasm. Questions periodically buzzed in her mind, often put out by the pleasure she was feeling. After about ten minutes, Nozomi finally gave up, cumming with a loud moan, gripping a fist full of Nico's black hair in one hand and her sheets in the other. Nico seemed satisfied with the reaction, tired at the same time, laying on Nozomi for a few minutes before having trouble keeping her eyes open.

xxx END xxx

Nozomi moved the exhausted Nico over a little, tucking blankets around her, before snuggling up to Nico and falling asleep relatively quickly, the sound of their breathing filling the silence.

They were thankful that it was Saturday.

Somewhere else...

"So… no car, and a small apartment?"

"Have you seen her Le Petit Gateau shoot? She's adorable~"

"Says the sugar mommy of the three of us."

"Oh? Not quite to your tastes, Umi? I'm sure Maki and I will treat her just fine without you. Ha! Even if she was to your tastes, you'd just pit her against the maid and the baker's daughter!"

"That's not what I said, and you know it."

"She's flat and adorable, just the way I like them~"

"She looks quite delicious, too~"

"She has proper manners and dresses appropriately."

"So… we all agree?"

"I certainly agree!"

"Perhaps not now. Perhaps we should wait. Introduce ourselves, meet her more in-depth."

"Have her pass a test."


Apologies for taking so long, HuniePop happened...

Quick definition of 'Sugar Mommy': a woman who typically dotes on a younger person (I, personally, prefer them legal) in exchange for a relationship or sexual favors. A sugar daddy is a man who does this. A sugar baby is the younger person.

Who is the sugar mommy, exactly? Eheheheheeee...

Anyway, after that little lesson with, uh... Teacher SmutMaker, I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter of Promise. Thank you so much for reading.
