I'm sorry for not updating in like . three weeks . I was very busy with school work, I didn't get the time to write and I didn't have a Windows or well PC at my disposition . ( I have a darn Mac at my mother's ).
= Dinner Time =
Lei-fang woke up the next morning feeling fully rested. * That was a good night's sleep!! I haven't felt so rested in a long time. * she thought to herself as she got out of bed. * First a shower. * And so, the young woman took a nice long hot shower and came out of the steaming bathroom dressed in only a towel.
Lei-fang rummaged through her bags until she found underwear, a pair of cream coloured shorts and navy, light blue and black striped thick strap tank-top. She went back into the bathroom, dressed and came out combing her hair which she then fastened into her usual braided loops. * Hmm, I wonder what they have for breakfast this morning? Oh, I should call Shiori after! *
The young woman walked down to the restaurant section of the resort and entered one of them. The inside was decorated with pictures of fruits, pancakes, and other bakeries. To her left was a buffet filled with eggs, sausages, fruits, bakeries, etc.. * Wow!! The food looks good!! * Lei-fang was shown to a table by one of the waitresses. "I'll take the buffet thank you," she told the waitress as she was handed a menu. The waitress nodded, "May I serve you something to drink? We have fruit juice, tea, coffee ." Lei-fang thought for a moment then replied, "I'll have a tropical punch juice if that's possible." Once again the waitress nodded and left to get the juice.
In the meantime, the young Chinese woman walked over to the buffet and picked up a plate. * Hmm, these scrambled eggs look tasty! * Just as she was about to pick up the large spoon to scoop up some eggs, someone grabbed it and began serving themselves. "Humph," Lei-fang said under her breath. "Sorry, I didn't realize you were going for the same thing . Lei-fang," the person said.
The girl looked over at the person standing beside her. "Oh! Good morning Jann Lee!" she replied, "It's alright, there's still some eggs left!" She took the spoon that Jann Lee had just set down and served herself some eggs. She then proceeded to the sausages and fruits. "You had a good night's sleep?" Jann Lee smiled back, "Yes I did. I believe you did so too?" Lei-fang nodded in response. "Are you eating alone?" the young man asked as he served himself a couple of plain pancakes. "Yes, but I wouldn't mind some company," the girl replied. They both went back to Lei-fang's table as the waitress brought the fruit juice. The Chinese girl thanked her and sat down. The two ate breakfast chatting about the last tournament.
"Well, that was a good breakfast!" Lei-fang exclaimed as she finished her last piece of fruit and set down her fork, "I have to go make a phone call now. We'll see each other tonight . or maybe before, again." Jann Lee nodded. "I have a phone call to make as well," he replied while standing up, "Oh if you have the chance, you should go visit the garden in back of the resort. It's really beautiful." The girl smiled, "Okay, I wont forget that!" Jann Lee smiled and left for his room.
* I hope that dinner tonight will just as nice . * the young man thought as he entered his room a smile creeping upon his face, * or maybe even better . * He closed the door behind him and sat on his bed. Jann Lee picked up the phone and dialled Tsu's number.
"Hello, you've reached mister sleepy head. Please leave a message and I call once I wake up. Beep!" Jann Lee frowned. "Tsu get up!!! There's a pretty lady waiting for you by the phone!!" The young man heard someone stumbling in the background and the phone switch on. "Very funny Jann Lee. Don't you have any other BETTER methods of waking me up?" Jann Lee smiled to himself, "Well it seems to work doesn't it?"
"Ugh, forget that," Tsu replied sighing, "So, did you ask that chick out for dinner already?" Jann Lee cringed at Tsu for calling Lei-fang that chick even though he couldn't see him. "Her name is Lei-fang and yes I did," he answered. * Why in the world did I call him for? *
"So, what you calling me for?" the man at the other end of the line asked. "I was just asking myself that question," the other replied, "I was thinking of asking for advice but last time that got me in trouble ." Jann Lee could hear his friend laughing. "Alright, well I'll atleast give you this piece of advice!," Tsu replied still laughing, "Just be yourself and everything's gonna be fine! Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to go back to bed." Now it was Jann Lee's turn to laugh, "Sure sleepy head! Bye!" He hung up the phone, walked over to the window and opened it. He simply stood there for a while breathing in the fresh air and admiring the scene outside.
= = = = = =
Lei-fang dialled Shiori's number while sitting by the opened window. "Hello, Shiori? It's Lei-fang!" she said into the receiver, "How are you?" The girl could hear her friend chuckle at the other end, "I'm doing fine and you? I see you found the note in the book! Did you by any chance meet someone interesting?" Lei-fang giggled a little, "Actually, Jann Lee is also staying here and invited me for dinner tonight! I really didn't expect him to do so! Anyhow, I don't really know what I should wear though ." The girl frowned thinking about the dresses she had brought with her.
"How about that white one, Chinese style?" Shiori suggested, "I think it would be great!" Lei-fang thought for a moment, "Yeah I think I'll go for that one! Thanks Shi!!" "Your very welcome come Lei!," the other girl replied with a chuckle, "Listen, I have to go check on my little brother . I think he's stuck in the tree again ." Lei-fang laughed, "Alright! Bye bye!!" She hung up the phone and stood up. * Hmm, I think I'll take a walk through the garden as Jann Lee suggested! * And so, Lei-fang made her way to the garden.
= = Lobby, 6:30 p.m. = =
Jann Lee stood in the lobby dressed in black baggy but okay for the occasion pants and a red short-sleeved shirt, waiting for Lei-fang. A hand tapped on his shoulder and he turned around to face a young woman dressed in a white Chinese style dress (the dress she wears in DOA2) with a big smile on her face.
"I'm not late I hope?" she asked. "No, not at all," Jann Lee replied with a smile. He took her hand and they walked to the restaurant section. They entered a candle lit restaurant and were shown to a table near the window. They sat down and were each handed a menu.
"Hmm, there's a lot of good food here ." Lei-fang said thoughtfully. "I know, that's why I chose this place," the man in front of her replied while looking through the menu as well. They settled on a salad as an entry, something with fish as the main course and fortune cookies for desert.
During the entire meal they chatted about things in general, stuff that was going on around the world, what they were planning for the future etc. They basically had a great time and were very much enjoying themselves. Once they finished, Jann Lee asked Lei-fang if she had gone to the gardens. She nodded in response. "Do you want to see them at night?" he questioned her. The girl smiled.
They paid for their meal and headed to the garden. Just like the night before, it was lit with lanterns on the sides of the paths and in the bushes. "Wow! It's even more beautiful at night!" Lei-fang exclaimed. She ran over to the fountain where Jann Lee had gone the night before. She sat on the side.
"I had a really good time Jann Lee," the girl said softly, "Thanks for inviting me." Jann Lee sat down beside Lei-fang, "Your welcome. I had a really good time too. So, what do you plan on doing for the rest time that you're here?" The girl looked around thoughtfully. "Well, tomorrow I was planning on starting my training again. Hey! Maybe we could train together! What do you think?" she replied. Jann Lee smiled, "It would be a good idea."
Suddenly, the lights in the garden shut off and the only light available was the moonlight. "I think it's time we think about heading back to our rooms." Lei-fang said a little sad. They walked back into the building and up to Lei-fang's room. "Thanks again," she said. "You welcome," Jann Lee replied once again, "Good night!"
Lei-fang watched Jann Lee's retreating back as he went to his own room. She then entered her room with a big smile on her face. The girl switched her dress for her pjs and quickly fell in a peaceful slumber.
Jann Lee walked into his room smiling as well. He walked over to the window and closed it since it had been open since this morning. He too changed for his night wear and went over to his bed. He lay on it for a while thinking about the nights events before sleep eventually took over.
