I awoke completely wrapped up around Eisuke, it was a bit too warm but it was peaceful. I didn't want to move at all. I starred at him, watching his peaceful face that only I will get to see. I don't remember falling asleep here though. I must've past out last night on the couch and he carried me to bed. As I was thinking this I found that he had woken up and was just smiling at me.
"What?" I stated looking up at him.
"Just starring at what is mine," he leaned down and kissed me with a very passionate kiss like he use to do in Dubai every morning.
"I missed that," He just smirked at me before doing it again. "Eisuke!" I shoved him playfully and we laid there for a few more minutes. "Okay, if we don't get up soon you won't get your coffee." He scowled at me before getting out of bed and we both got dressed. I couldn't help but to just keep starring at him as he button his shirt up.
"What is it?" He said looking at me,
"Nothing, just thinking of how much love this child will get." Eisuke smiled his sweet smile and walked over to me before kneeling down and placing a hand on my stomach.
"You will have a wonderful life and will want for nothing." I ran my fingers through his hair and smiled at him. "I read talking to them will help the baby grow" I giggled at him.
"Already researching?" I pouted, and here I haven't done anything.
"Im just planning ahead, don't over think. Come lets go" He lead me to the living room and got on his laptop. "Are you going to work today?"
I bit my lip, if it was anything like yesterday, I won't be much help. Also if I don't do to much then word will get out before Eisuke is ready. I looked to him and smiled.
"I don't think its a good idea for me to work. I don't want people knowing before you're ready for them to know and if I continue working it'll become way to obvious." He nodded.
"I have a few business meetings, Luke is in the Clinic and I'm sure one of the guys will be around if you need someone. Call me if anything should happen." He stood up and headed to the door.
"Can I call my parents today?" I looked at him hopefully as I walked to him to hand him a mug of coffee in a to-go cup.
"Do what you want." He looked at me once more before leaving. I think he's secretly thrilled I went with his no working idea. I should've known better than to try and fight him in the first place. I thought of me being in the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant and laughed at my inside joked. I tidy the place up a bit as I try a figure out what I should tell my mother.
I picked up my cell phone, its been a while since I last spoke to her and so much has changed. I wonder what she'll do when she finds out I'm dating Eisuke.
"Hello?"
"Hi Mom"
"Key! Its so good to hear from you! It's been so long, I was starting to get worried about you. Hows your job?" She was always so excited to hear from me.
"I actually just resigned today." I said thinking this was a good Ice breaker.
"Oh? I hope everything is okay? Do you need us to send you some money?" I would loved to see Eisuke's face if he had to accept money from my parents. Just the thought made me smile.
"No its okay, just a few things came up and I can't work for awhile. My boyfriend is taking care of me though." It was silent for a little bit.
"Boyfriend? You met someone? What's he like, does he work at the hotel too? How long have you been dating? Why is the first I've heard of him! Spill the beans darling."
"Actually thats what I wanted to talk to you about. He said he'll send a plane for you and dad to come visit and pay for any expenses."
"That sounds like an awful lot, we would love to come meet him sweetie, but he doesn't need to spending his hard earn money on us." I chuckled, his hard earn money is just 'Pocket Change'
"Well you see, money isn't an issue for him and he insist..and he's not one to take no for an answer."
"Just who Exactly is he?"
"Eisuke Ichinomiya"
"What!?" She was speechless after that.
"Yes, Eisuke is my boyfriend and I would love it if you and dad came to meet him." Also I'm carrying his child too, but you'll figure out that part later.
"Well...of course, when would you like us to come and visit?" When would be a good time? I don't want to do a sudden announcement on Eisuke like that.
"Hold on mom." I went downstairs and saw Baba sitting on the couch flipping through the news. "Baba?" He looked up and smiled.
"What a beautiful glow you have this morning Key." I blushed and mom was flipping out on the other end.
"Is that him? He sounds sweet!" of course baba sounds sweet.
"No mom thats not him, it's a friend of ours. Baba do you know if Eisuke will be free this weekend?" Baba just chuckled.
"For you, Boss will make time no matter what." This is true, he always seems to fit me into his very busy schedule.
"Does this weekend sound okay Mom?" She just laughed.
"I'll start packing, just let us know the details and it's okay if we have to get our own flight." I laughed, Eisuke will have no part in that.
"Thanks mom, I can't wait to see you. I love you." We hung up and I just sat down on the couch. "This is an adventure on its own."
"What is?" Ota came in "There you are Baba! I've been looking everywhere for you, I'm bored." He threw himself on the couch. He hadn't had an inspiration yet so he hasn't really been doing anything. I just chuckled.
"Key's parents are coming to meet Boss." I blushed, I should text Eisuke to tell them.
*Is this weekend okay to meet my parents?* It wasn't long before I got a reply, isn't he in a meeting?
*That's fine, I'll have a room prepared for them and send the Jet to them. Just tell me wear* I sent him a whole bunch of xoxo's and I pictured him just rolling his eyes or inwardly smiled. He's open a bit more to me since we found out I was pregnant and I love it. Prehaps I can figure out more. I wonder when we'll tell everyone. Eventually I'll start showing. I gasped.
"Im going to get fat!" I teared up, Eisuke likes how the dresses fit me now, what will he think when I can't wear them. Ota and Baba just started laughing.
"What is all this noise, a man can concentrate." Soryu grumbled as he walked in.
"Key was just complaining about getting fat." Soyru just looked at me.
"It's expected, don't worry to much for it." I think he was trying to help but it didn't do much, I just pouted. I noticed he was carrying a suitcase. "Whats that?"
"It just has a few important documents for the next Auction." Always the hardworking one.
"Oh when is it?" Soyru looked to Baba for the answer.
"My calender is telling me two Tuesdays from now." So there's going to be another party. I feel bad not being able to help, but I'll be getting in the way. I wonder...if I can't help the hotel.
"Soyru, can I help?" I don't like the idea of selling stolen goods, but Eisuke has always used the Auctions for good so as long as nothing bad happens it should be okay.
"What do you mean?" He looked confused.
"I mean, I can do paperwork or I don't know." I don't know anything about this. He looked at me debating, I'm sure he does a lot of the work for the Auction by himself but was wondering if it would be safe for me.
"Can you do me a favor?" I nodded, "Heres the list of items, and here's pictures of them. Can you put the Catalog together? That'll save me a lot of time and you can do it here in the penthouse." He handed me a few folders that had quite a few pictures in it. I took it and looked at it and assembled a few together.
"Like this?" I showed him and he looked it over and nodded. "Yes and then put it in order according to this list here." He smiled and relaxed.
"I can do that! When do you need it done by?"
"If the Auction is in two weeks, try to complete it in three days? I'll finish whatever isn't done in that time. That'll give people enough time to decide if they're is something worth bidding on."
"Thank You Soryu! Eisuke said I needed a hobby" I sat down in front of the coffee table and started arranging the pictures and discriptions and pages together. There were quite a few items this time around. Soryu was working on a few other documents, Ota and Baba left to go do something I wasn't really paying attention. I figured if I work hard enough I could have most of this done today.
I didn't even realize the time before I heard the Elevator open and Eisuke came walking in.
"What are you doing?" He came up behind me causing me to jump.
"Oh! Eisuke, you startled me." He peered over me looking at the catalog I was making.
"Is that for the auction?" He tilted his head.
I nodded, "I wanted to help and Soyru said this'll save him time and its completely safe. I can do it right here and he said I could ask for help if I needed it." I felt like a child explaining why my hand was caught in a cookie jar.
He nodded, "It looks good." I stood up, and the motion caused me to grumble and I blushed. "I completely forgot about dinner! Oh I'm a horrible stay at home mother!" I started to scramble to put the papers back in the folder, even though only those who knew of the Auction really came up here I didn't want to just leave everything out in the open.
"Calm down, don't worry about it." He made me sit. "Just finish what you're doing I still have a bit of work left anyways." He smiled at me and went to his office.
I then Notice Soyru had left, I was really into the catalog wasn't I? I sat back down and continued working on it. It was 2 hours later I had finished and put everything in the folder just in time as the door opened.
"Room Service" Erika came walking in with a big tray of food, I was starving. I wonder if news of my resign has been spread yet. Or what rumor was spread.
You could tell she wanted to say something, but she held her tongue. I guess I'm considered a guest here now since I no longer worked her.
"Thank you very much." I told her as I took the cart and saw there was one plate full of different kinds of fruits and veggies. I smiled as I started to eat some and sat down on the couch looking over the Catalog I made. I hope Eisuke likes this. Mamo is the first one that comes in soon followed by Baba and Ota. Mamo goes to take a Cig. Out of his back pocket but looks at me before putting it away. "Aw Damn." I feel bad..but I know it isn't good for the baby. I bow in his direction, "I am so sorry, but thank you for your concern."
"Eh, Don't mention it Kid. Ichinomiya would kill me if I even tried to." He just lean against the wall. Soyru and Eisuke came down the stairs, I guess that's where Soyru went, no wonder I didn't hear the elevator when he left.
I smiled and stood up walking over to them holding out the folder. "I finished, I'm sorry for any mistakes I made." Soyru is the one that took it and he nodded.
"Thank you, this'll do" He made his way to a chair to sit alone. Eisuke noticed the tray of food only half eatten.
"Did you not like it?" He tilted his head studying me.
"No I just wasn't very hungry." He scowled, "You need to eat."
I changed the subject knowing I wouldn't win, "My parents are excited to meet you." He smirked.
"Of course, it is me after all." We all talked about the next auction and the items that are up that everyone is excited about. I just sat rubbing my belly thinking of how they'll grow up to be a part of this world.
It was now Saturday and I was pacing up and down the walk way at the air port. They're plane was due to arrive any minute.
"Calm down," I looked at him like he grew horns.
"Calm down?! My parents are about to meet the love of my life, learn I am with child and who knows when they'll get here." He placed his hand over my mouth.
"Careful you never know whose listening." I blushed looked around for any prazzi or reports. I didn't see any.
"You know they'll find out eventually." I wonder when he'll decide to tell them.
He simply smiled, "I know, but you want your parents to find out from you or some news paper article?" Fair point made. "Their plane should be landing, lets go."
Sure enough they were waiting for their baggage. I couldn't help myself, I ran and throw my arms over my mother's and father's neck hugging them tightly/ "Mom! Dad!"
"Angel, its so good to see you again." My dads deep voice boomed out. Mom just started tearing up, "Oh I missed you sweet heart! Now where is tha.." She stopped talking when she saw Eisuke.
"It really is The Ichinomiya CEO of the hotel. Sweet Heart, is that why you quit?" My mom whispered to me.
"No mom, I'll tell you why later I promise. Eisuke tried to get me to quit when we first started dating but I wanted to work and he supported me all the way.
"Best employee I ever hired." He looked lovingly at me. I assume he was putting on a show for my parents.
"It is a pleasure to meet you both Mr and Mrs Silversun. Key has told me a lot about you and I hope I can live up to your expectations of what you want for your daughter." He bowed to them.
My mother was already won over, my dad not so convinced. "We'll see about that."
"The Limo is waiting," He grabbed their luggage, I never knew him one to carry anything for anyone but me. This is amusing, I giggled and he just scowled at me.
The limo ride did impress my father as he and Eisuke discussed business on the way back to the hotel.
"You sure about him Key? This isn't some kind of scam is it?" I shook my head, I could careless if Eisuke was a servant or the king of a castle. I would love him the same.
"I love him Mom, there isn't anyone else for me." She just smiled. "He seems like a nice young man. I hope he can take care of you." If she only knew how much danger he's saved me from.
My dad took out one of his Cigars and my eyes widden and it looked like Eisuke was about to say something, "I uh..Dad! Please dont." He looked at me crazy, "Why not" you never minded before."
"It just, bothers me now plus the smell soaks into the seats and we'll never..get it out?" I formed it in a question, but my father just shrugged. "Later than." We pulled into the parking of the Tres Spade.
"Oh wow, I've seen it on TV but this Hotel is amazing!"
"Thank You, All of my staff and I try and make sure our guest are 100% having the time of their lives here. I really hope you guys enjoy it too. I won't be able to spend tomorrow morning with you as I have a business meeting, but prehaps Key can show you around and I'll meet up you for lunch. Get anything you like, it'll be on the house."
"Now dear, you don't have to spoil us." I just grinned, I get it from her.
"It'll be my pleasure Ma'am, anything for Key's family." He smiled reaching for my hand and squeezing it. I just lost track of time starring back up at him before my dad cleared his throat.
"What are we doing tonight? Just Dinner and Conversation?" I smiled at Dad.
"The Hotel has a wonderful Dining experience and a Nice quiet place we can talk. I can show you to your room and we can get ready for Dinner that way." I have to remember to get normal sounding food, I think I'll just let Eisuke order for me, he always picks amazingly anyways,
Eisuke just snickered, "You know you don't work there anymore." I blushed and he just wrapped his arms around me.
We arrived at the hotel and Eisuke got someone to take their luggage up, I got the card from the front desk and took my parents up to the 49th Floor. "Wow this is amazing!" "Biggest hotel room I've been in." I just laughed. "This is one of the VIP rooms. The hotel has 51 floors. The higher up you are the more luxurious the room is. Eisuke and I live on the 51st floor." My dads eyes popped, "And we're on the 49th? Wow! Just under the penthouse." Suddenly there was a knock on the door, confused I opened it, Eisuke said he'd meet us downstairs.
"Key!" Ota and Baba came hustling in.
"Ota! Baba!"
"Who are these people Key? Friends?" I looked back and forth between them trying to figure out what to say, I mean I can't exactly say oh they bought me in an auction with Eisuke and that's how I know them?
"We're friends, we live in the penthouse with Key and Boss, just on the 50th floor." Live it to Baba to have an answer. "Come on guys you know you want to meet Key's beautiful mother and wonder father." And be able to sway them on his side.
"This is a bad idea, Ichinomiya is going to kill you you know." Mamo grumbled stepping from the side. "Yes you know you're just as curious as everyone else bout the ones who raised Key." Soyru said.
Wow everyone showed up, "Well, okay then. Mom is is Soyru, Mamoru, Baba, and Ota. They are friends of Eisuke and I and live in the penthouse with us."
"5 guys with just you? I don't like the sound of that." Dad tried glaring at all them, but he and mom were a bit frighten by Soyru. I couldn't blame them, I was too.
"Well, They live on the 50th floor, so its just Eisuke and I on the top. They all..protect me?" I'll try the bodyguard approach. It isn't a lie after all. "Eisuke is very popular in the Lime Light, and you know how people will try and take what's precious to him so they help keep an I on me so nothing happens to me. Eisuke goes to full lengths to make sure I'm safe."
"Thats right, your little puppy is in safe hands." Ota said throwing his arm around neck. Baba put his hand on my shoulder. "Nothing will happen to Key with us around, you can rest easy at night."
"Come on guys, you had your fun lets go now." Soyru, always the serious one got them all to leave. I waved bye and closed the door.
"They sure are a lively bunch." My dad scratched his head. If he only knew the half of it!
After they freshened up we headed downstairs and a host greeting us. Bowing he showed us to a very quiet spot where Eisuke takes me when we eat here together.
Eisuke was already waiting for us. He stood when we arrived and helped me with my seat. "Its good to see you my love." Dad just watched us with a perch eyebrow like he wasn't convinced.
"So my boy, what are your intentions with my daughter?" The waiter brought us all a glass of wine. I just stared at mine. Eisuke squeezed my leg under the table causing me to look at him and he motioned to my glass.
But, its wine? I slowly picked it up, He has given me no reason to not trust him. I sipped and it turned out mine was grape juice. This caused me to chuckle.
"Well, I hope to give her the world, along with the moon and stars." He smiled sweetly at me, "And with your permission one day, I hope to wed her."
That was how Eisuke ended up wearing the grape juice.
