A/N: I forgot to say that this story is very hmm how can I put it….liberal in nature. It is also based on two very real people. Although the circumstances of this story never happened for these individuals I'm going to make their dream come true nonetheless. So, this is for you girl that wants to be free. And Dr. Guy that lives without bounds. Now show her how it's done ;)

Chapter 2 It's the little things

"Uncomfortable Joven?" He repeated.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Of course I am I've never done anything like this before and no one can get over their body image issues in one night after meeting an attractive man. That just a ridiculous thought by itself.

"No." Wait what the hell was I saying. Before I could object to my own damn self my laced underwear was being snaked down my thighs, over my knees and down the rest of my legs. Gin had latched onto my hazel with cool blue ones. And yes funny enough I expected to feel embarrassed under that gaze but I didn't and before I knew it I was stepping out of my underwear.

He stood up and handed my clothes to a person that worked at the club. I really hope I get them back later.

"I think you can leave on your shoes." Gin had a half smirk on his face when he said that to me, placing his hands on my bare hips. I looked down at him for the first time just as he was closing the distance between us and I must say he had very nice size package down below but it still wasn't standing at attention.

Okay now I was starting to get a little offended because his lack of erection was doing nothing for my self confidence. I also noticed he wasn't wearing any shoes. So I guess he believed if he was going to go buff he was going to go all the way. I looked back up at him.

"You're nice to look at." My voice sounded more confident than how I felt inside.

"You mean for an old man." He spoke in response.

"You're not that old." He chuckled and then turned me away from him. His arms wrapping around my front as we continued to move to the beat of the song.

This new change in position had me feeling exposed. My right hands instinctively cupping in front of my lower female regions. Gin's hands covered mine and he brought his head down so that he could talk into my left ear.

"It's okay you have nothing to worry about. You're beautiful Joven and besides no one is staring at us."

Truthfully he was right I had been worried about those things and with a quick scan of the room I noticed everyone was either engrossed in dancing to the song or conversation off to the side. Even my sisters who had found two rather attractive young partners weren't paying me any attention. I looked back at the man and smiled he raised an eyebrow at me. I just decided he was good for me well at least for tonight.

We stayed on the floor for three other songs before I demanded alcohol. Gin laughed apparently he doesn't drink. Hmm interesting. We found a table off in a corner it was small and circular and it came up to my breast line. Gin and I were standing across the table from each other. He had decided to lean on the table with his elbows his chin resting on his closed clasped hands. I was swaying to another upbeat song nursing a screwdriver in a lowball glass through a skinny red straw.

I can't say my nerves had entirely went away with my current predicament but I can say I was comfortable with Gin and so long as I kept my eyes and or concentration on him it was easy to forget everyone else.

"OH MY GOD!" Rangiku's voice was unmistakable to say the least. "When did you get naked?" Thank god for the blaring music or she would have totally drawn the whole attention of the club. I rolled my eyes and Gin chuckled standing up as he did so.

"That's old news Rani." I said knowingly turning around to not just face one of my sisters but both of them. Rangiku put her hands on her bare hips and shifted her weight to her left leg to glare at me.

"Snippy aren't we?" She asked and I hoped that question was rhetorical because I wasn't answering it.

"Who's the old guy?" Orihime asked and my mouth fell open.

"Jeez Hime tact heard of it." I spat at her. Gin walked around me and extended a hand to Orihime his shoulders were shaking he must have been chuckling again. I gotta say the guy knows how to take things in stride.

"Gin and you?" He was very cordial to the girl that just called him old.

"I'm Orihime." She placed a hand on her chest and then waved the hand in Rangiku's direction. "And this is our eldest sister Rangiku."

"Oh sisters." He said looking back at me with a wink, I couldn't help the smile. Look at us having our first inside joke together.

"Oh so you two have inside jokes now?" Rangiku asked. I could just smack her.

"No." Gin said plainly letting go of Orihime's hand.

"Hmm." Rangiku huffed then turned her attention to me but not before cutting her eyes at Gin. Really Rangiku? Please remove stick from ass thank-you. "You still haven't answered my question."

"Uh yeah I think I did." I rolled my eyes at her. Those two hood rats had ditched me and now they care if I was having a good time. "Come on Gin. I like this song." I grabbed my guy and with drink in hand I stormed off to the middle of the dance floor. I must admit I was having fun and I'll be damned if those two were going to ruin it.

"We're leaving now Nel." Rangiku was smart enough to send Orihime over for me. Gin and I had been dancing to a slow song, I turned to look back at my younger sister when the man kissed my temple and then released me.

"I had a good time with you Joven."

What that's it, no offer to take me home. Not that I would have accepted. No attempt to get my phone number. Did he really have fun with me? I must have looked confused when I turned back to him. Because he said something else to me.

"Sometimes you shouldn't push the good things. I come here often you may see me again Joven." And with that he turned and walked away from me. Leaving me utterly dumbfounded.

"Here Nel." Orihime passed me my clothes. How in the hell did she find them.

We left the club the three of us fully clothed and me still in shock. By the time we reached our temporary home my exhaustion hit me. It had been a long day for me and it was now 3a.m. I took off the top and skirt and slept in my laced panties on top of the white bedding. Surprisingly enough the bed was very comfortable and I fell asleep in no time.

Rangiku was knocking on my door at 8 in the morning.

"Fuck you! I'm sleepy." I was jet lagged and sore and worst of all I was still tired.

"You're gonna be late for work get up!" She barked opening the door and then with one shove of her foot she pushed me off the bed. I popped up and launched a pillow at her as she was exiting my room. I missed. Damn.

When we left that place with no A.C the day before the lady had handed the three of us uniforms. Khaki shorts that reached to my knees and a a green polo short that had the words Los Niños de Peru (loosely translated the children of Peru), written over the left breast. She wasn't specific on the footwear or at least Rangiku hadn't told me as such. So I put on black tennis shoes and white socks. I brushed my hair down it was wet from the shower that I had just taken and when it dried I didn't want it sticking out all over the place.

Orihime and Rangiku was wearing the same thing as I but both had their hair tied back in pony tails. Orihime wore brown flip flops and Rangiku wore white tennis shoes and white socks.

"Here wear this." Rangiku passed me a white name tag that pinned to my shirt. It said Hola mi nombre es Nel. Hmm simple enough don't want to confuse the kiddos with my whole name. At the top of the badge was a picture of a sun smiling brightly wearing sunglasses. In the lower left corner was a picture of a red-brown brick stoned one room school house with little stick children running out of the front door hands waving in the air. How cute. I scoffed to myself. It really was cute.

"Are you smiling Nel?" I looked up to see both of my sisters looking at me funny.

"Yeah, you've seen this. It's kind of cute." Rangiku and Orihime shared a glance, what's their problem. I shrugged and then pinned the badge to the right side of my chest. I scoffed down a weird sweet tasty pastry and some papaya juice.

We piled in the back of a white van that had the name of the organization on the side with the picture of the sun as well. It made me smile again. We picked up six other people on the way.

I was expecting for us to go to the building without the air conditioning and bad paint job but we didn't apparently that had been the old building. Instead we pulled up to a building that looked newly built. It was large in length but it was only one story. It's concrete walls had been painted all white and the remaining property had been fenced off with a silver chained fence. The name of the organization was painted in child like building blocks across the right wall opposite the front door. While on the left wall was a bigger picture of the sun in shades the single room school house and life sized children running and smiling from the entrance. It was all inviting and I gotta say I was rather proud of the idea that I would be working there.

I followed the group into the building. I was pleased when the cool air blew into my face when I walked in through the sliding glass doors. The main entrance opened into a rather large lobby. To the left was a circular reception desk with a woman wearing a tight low bun in her hair and talking on a headset while typing away at her computer. The waiting area had light green leather backed chairs and plasma tv mounted to the wall and various light brown end tables arranged between the chairs, and a light brown coffee table with magazines organized on the top of it. Below the table was a throw rug with different color flowers printed on it. The whole scene was very inviting.

"Welcome workers." A voice boomed coming around a corner. He stopped in front of us. His footsteps squeaking to a halt on the newly polished white floor.

He was a tall slender man wearing brown square rectangular glasses. His glasses matched the color of his eyes and his wavy brown hair. He was wearing khaki pants and a white polo shirt with the same emblem that was on ours. He wore brown penny loafers on his feet. "How are you liking Lima so far?" He asked and a couple of us looked around at each other and some mumbled

"Great."

"You're the last group of workers to arrive. So let us jump right into it."

Okay am I the only one to wonder who the fuck this guy is. Although I'm very happy to know he speaks fluent english.

"I am Sosuke Aizen the Director and I founded this organization." He said, he must also be a mind reader. He gave us a soft smile after he said that and I must say this guy could be a snake charmer in another life. "I am very pleased that you all have come here to help us for this summer. Most of the children here have no families, come from broken and abusive homes or just in need of someone to steer them in the right direction." He paused for a moment. "Miss R. M. Kurosaki" He called out and Rangiku raised her hand. "Ahh there you are. Please see Momo when we are done here she has your red shirt." Rangiku gave a single nod of understanding. Why'd she get to wear red.

"Mentors wear green, teachers wear red."

Man Mister Aizen is a freaking mind reader I just know it. I wonder if there are any other useful colored shirts I should know.

"The other colors you'll learn as you go on." Said the mind reader.

So, when are we gonna meet the Rugrats.

"Let's go meet the children shall we." I smirked to myself and shook my head.

The building was even bigger inside than it had looked outside. There were several different corridors of classrooms. Mister Aizen was kind of enough to point out the different areas as we followed him to where the children were. We even passed Rangiku's class, she chirped when he said she could decorate it any way she liked. I was happy for her, it made sense for them to make her a teacher after all she did have a Bachelors degree. We passed by a gymnasium nice polished floor a volleyball net was set up in the middle of the room and basketball nets lined the walls they were definitely meant for little children because my 5'6" could easily dunk on them.

"We liked to practice all the sports here, make sure the children are well rounded." Mister Aizen said as we murmured about the gym. Some of them nodded to his words I just remained in deep thought about me dunking on those tiny basketball nets.

We took so many turns I was thoroughly lost by the time we reached two double doors with silver bar handles. As Aizen pushed down on one of the door handles he turned back to look at us.

"These children need patience and a lot of attention. Some speak broken english while others speak only fluent spanish. We made sure to place you with the children accordingly." He looked around at our many faces and his eyes fell on me he smiled and nodded in my direction. And then he pushed open the door.

The sun shined through so brightly and as I stepped out into the open area I almost ran back inside it was so hot. The back of the building which had been fenced off looked like it stretched for miles. There was a play area to the left with swings, slides, jungle gym and sand box. An outdoor court for basketball and a separate field in the distance where some children and mentors were actively playing a game of what appeared to be kickball.

Sosuke Aizen let out a loud whistle by placing his two index fingers in his mouth, drawing our attention back to him.

"The people in brown shirts are your team leaders." He said and we all looked back out into the distance as several people in brown polos were jogging over in our direction. "Uh Momo"

"Yes Director Aizen." I wasn't the only person to jump out of their skin. The voice was quiet and innocent enough but it literally came out of nowhere. We all turned around to look at the short small framed young woman in the white polo, khaki pants and white tennis shoes no socks. She had her hands folded in front of her and her brown hair was down but kept back out of her face with a white head band.

"Do you have my clip board?" Director Aizen asked and we all turned back to him.

"Yes I have it here." The young woman reached behind her and pulled out a small leather bound journal looking book and handed it over to the Director.

"Okay let's see here." Aizen flipped open his book, fixed his glasses on his face and began to talk. "This here is Tia." Aizen waved a hand in the direction to his left.

A woman with an ample chest the word bosom buddy flashed across my mind. She was wearing a brown polo and khaki shorts. She had beautiful milk chocolate skin, bright green eyes and blonde hair. Her hair was cut about an inch close to her scalp and it was both shiny and curly. She wore a brown head band on her head that had a small white flower attached to it which had been positioned off to the right side of her head. She looked stern despite her appearance and I sincerely hope I wasn't part of her group.

"On your team we have Orihime I. Kurosaki and Neliel Tu Oder-" I raised my hand. "Are you Nel?" He asked once he noticed me.

"Yes sir and about two weeks ago I changed my last name to Jaegerjaquez." When I was born my mother tried to hide me from my father and she'd given me her maiden name needless to say my dad eventually found out about me.

"Alright then I'll make a note of that. It's definitely easier to say Miss Jaegerjaquez." Aizen pulled a pen out of his pocket and began scribbling in his journal.

"Follow me." Tia spoke unenthusiastically. Aizen didn't object so we followed the young woman over towards a field set up with child size soccer nets. "Later on tonight we are gonna have a welcome bonfire with the children. Some of the students from the local University will be coming over here to help with set up and entertainment." Tia stuffed her hands in her pockets. "If you put into the program you'll get a lot out of it." That was good advice. "These kids are good kids they just need you to help them remember that." Now that sounded scary.

I must say when I met the nineteen kids in our group I was a little overwhelmed at first. Some were overactive some were less active some were mean as hell while others were as sweet as sugar dumplings. There was also one other mentor in our group; a male. He was my age 24 and he had short inky black spiky hair. And A tattoo of a 69 on his face. His name was Shuuhei and he definitely had more personality than Tia and I put together which meant he got along great with Orihime.

Apparently this place was set up more like an American child day camp. We did activities with the kids throughout the day. Which included soccer, painting, music lessons (which I was all too happy to sit in the background and let Orihime and Shuuhei lead) followed by dancing (let me tell you I'm a whiz at the hokie pokie), story time, nap time (best part of the day because I got to take a nap too.) We also ate lunch and dinner with them. I can't say I cared to much for the food but I guess it will take some adjusting. Night eventually came and with it a nice cool breeze.

I can't say I was too happy about the bonfire because I was so tired, but this was part of the job I didn't sign myself up for. The celebration itself, was supposed to take place out back in the soccer field. The college kids had already arrived with their Professor. They set up the field with log benches circling the bonfire for the kids to sit on and chairs for the adults to sit in. A band was supposed to be part of the package deal. Complete with drums, keyboards and guitars. This was going to be interesting.

We walked our kids out to the field two by two with my special helper holding my hand. He was a shy sort of boy with straight inky black hair that stopped at his chin. He was known as the mute boy. He didn't smile and he preferred to play by himself. He had grown up in an abusive home his mother being the abusive drunk one. He was taken out of the home and he lived here at the center since the age of four. His name was Ulquiorra Cifer, he was six years old and I liked him.

When we reached the bonfire which was more like tiny six tiny campfires set up in a circle. Ulquiorra hid behind my leg.

"It's okay the fire won't hurt you." I bent at my waist and was speaking to him at eye level he only shrunk further into me. I really didn't know what to do.

"There is a burn on his left back leg Joven." I shot up so fast my hazel eyes shooting open in shock. No way. No way could it be. I dare not dream.

"I would bet my Clinical Ph.D that that burn has a lot to do with his fear." That cool smooth seamless voice. I've heard a lot of accents today but this American voice behind me was by far the sexiest. "Are you going to keep your back to me. I swear to you, I have on all my clothes." I hiccuped, that's right I did because I just realized I've yet to see him with his clothes on. I released Ulquiorra's hand momentarily and he whimpered. The rest of the group had made themselves comfortable in a section across from where I stood. I placed my arm around the young boy and smiled warmly at the man I met the night before.

"Gin Hi!" That sounded more chipper than my usual but it also sounded genuine.

"Hello Nel." He said. "Imagine my shock to see you here." My face fell what did he mean by that. "Not that there is anything wrong with you working here, it's just that in a big city like this-" Ahh that's what he meant. He was wearing a salmon colored button up with the top two buttons undone, tucked in his pants. Black slacks, a black professional belt and black Reeboks classics. Unusual pair of shoes for such a look but it worked for him. He also wore a silver watch on his left arm.

"Are you their Professor?" I pointed my thumb over my shoulder at the students that were standing near the bonfire.

"Yes I am." He stuck his hands in his pockets.

"Oh." That sounded like I was surprised and I was.

"What professors can't visit clothing optional bars?" He asked reading my mind.

"Isn't there like a rule against something like that?" I don't know if that's a stupid question but I had to ask, it's what I was thinking.

"It's in my rights and I'm not going to let some conservative hillbilly tell me what to do on my free time. Besides I'm a loaner Professor from America. What happens in Lima." He leaned over to me and I leaned over to him he whispered in my ear. "Stays in Lima." For some reason that sounded like it was more for me than for him." He clapped his hands together diverting his attention from me to the crowd. "Alright everybody let's get started."

Ulquiorra and I walked over and took our place in our section.

"I'm Dr. Gin Ichimaru and I teach Cross Cultural Psychology at the local university." Gin went into a spill about his back story. Apparently he visits Lima often with students from his home University. I didn't get the name because one of the kids drew my attention away from him.

The college students told campfire stories to the kids and then led them in a couple of games and songs and then put on a show of shadow puppets which was very interesting. The entire time I couldn't help but cut my eyes over to Gin. With each time my heart sinking in my chest because either caught him looking in my direction or he never looked in my direction.

"Stop stalking the old guy." Orihime leaned over to me and whispered in my ear.

"I'm not." I said defensively.

"Oh puh-leease. You're so obvious with it."

"I'm not."

"I hope she wasn't a bother for you." A young woman of average build and red hair said to me when she took her daughter's hand.

The parents that dropped their kids off for the day were now picking their kids up, while the other children in our group ncluding Ulquiorra had been taking inside by Tia and Shuuhei.

"No...No she was no bother." What a lie. This little girl in question name Aleksandra Twin was a handful you couldn't tell her nothing because she already knew it. I mean it was true she did already know pretty much everything. But she didn't have to always point that out to you and tell you when you're wrong and no I don't care that she's only five.

"Oh well that's good." Her mother said turning with her daughter in hand. The little girl turned back at me and stuck her tongue out. I had to say I was flabbergasted.

"Little Brat." I didn't mean for that to come out but it did.

"Nel!" Orihime squealed in shock.

"Oops sorry."

Five minutes later we were kidless and I was exhausted. And just when I thought I was going to be able to go home and get some sleep the college kids struck up a beat. Well jeez. Party on my friends just do it without me.

"Can we go home now?" I asked Orihime. Rangiku was across the way talking with her fellow redshirts, I gotta say that's the first time I've seen her all day.

"Nel it's only 9." Orihime said. "Shuuhei!" She squealed jumping up and down waving her hand in the air. "I like this song dance with me." The guy in a question began snapping his fingers to the beat and bobbing his head as he approached my sister. I rolled my eyes. Just as one of the college girls began to sing.

Yellow Diamonds in the light

And we're standing side by side

I would tell you the name of the song but as it were I didn't know it. I hung my head and began to shuffle over to some free logs. I wonder if they would be comfortable to lay on. But I froze when I felt slender arms wrap around my waist from behind.

"Where are you going Joven." He pulled me into his chest and I thought I would melt into the ground at the mere sound of his voice and the closeness of his body. "Dance with me." I nodded.

We found love in a hopeless place

We found love in a hopeless place

We moved together as one just like the night before. The campfire danced across his face bringing him to life, because lord knows I was beginning to wonder if he was real. We swayed during the verse and began to jump up and down with the rest of the crowd during the chorus.

Gin was such a mystery. I wanted to know more about him, wanted to know if he wanted me like I wanted him. Funny enough when I first met him, when I first learned his age, the certain prestige he held in the academic community, I never thought to wonder if he was taken. Now I was starting to wonder.

I thought myself slick when I interlocked my right hand with his left and lifted them above my head as we swayed to the upbeat of the song.

As your shadow crosses mine

We found love in a hopeless place.

I nearly chanted out a hallelujah chorus when I didn't feel a wedding band on his left ring finger. I let my head fall back, his hand wrapping around me and resting on the small of my back. The song was winding down and I didn't want this moment to end. I looked back at him and he was looking down at me, I wonder for how long. He released my hand placing it on my right cheek.

My breath caught in my throat and my mouth opened slightly in shock. It seemed like it happened in slow motion when his lips finally connected with mine. He tilted his head to the side and brought me closer to him my right hand resting on his neck my left hand grabbing at his forearm. I was up on my tip toes as he deepened our kiss. He tasted like mint chocolate chip well at least that's my thought. He was so talented with his tongue and I can honestly say I've never been kissed like that before, he dominated me all the way and I wasn't complaining.

The song finally ended and Gin began to pull away. I lowered myself from the tip of my toes my hands falling idly to my side and I must have been giving him a look of confusion as I bit down on the left side of my lip, steadying my breathing.

"Are you okay Joven?" He asked, with a look on his face that said I just committed a terrible crime lock me up. And I don't know what came over me but the words left my lips before I could stop them.

"I want you inside me."

We found love-Rihanna
