The following morning I ended up over sleeping.
Before I even opened my eyes I could hear the sound of the rain pouring outside hitting the roof top and the windows. I gazed around my room, which appeared dark with interesting shadows from the rain. I lifted my heavy body from the silk sheets and allowed my feet to touch the plush soft carpet beneath me.
I looked to my nightstand surprised to see a simple white envelope sitting there, waiting for me.
My brows furrowed. Certainly this couldn't already be a notice from Jounochi, and if so, how did it get inside past my security systems. I hand quickly snatched the small envelope with haste that seemed unfit for such a simple object. I pushed my finger into the whole beneath the flap and ripped my finger through as though it were a knife, ripping the white paper unevenly and distastefully.
I removed the small thin paper from the envelope and unfolded it to reveal gorgeous Japanese script writing. I hesitated for a moment admiring the beautifully written words slightly appalled that all the told me was a street name, a day and a time.
The invitation was unsigned but surprisingly professional.
"Hey big brother, a guy arrived here earlier to give that to you. I said you were busy…I didn't know you were actually here until I brought that up." Mokuba said motioning towards the letter.
"I see…thanks" I said casually.
"Strange guy though. I didn't think you knew that kind of people." Mokuba said tilting his head to the side before straightening back up and coming up to sit on the end of my bed. I looked at him for a moment and nodded my head sideways in contemplation briefly before looking back at Mokuba.
"What kind of people?" I questioned curiously.
"I don't know…the guy was really tan with blonde hair….and a half shirt that showed his stomach. He was also wearing jewelry and had tattoos…." Mokuba said and with each detail I could swear my eyes and mouth were widening more and more with horror. Was that Jounochi!? Blonde hair….
"I'm working with a new company now and the employees are a little odd…." I explained and Mokuba nodded.
"It doesn't seem like your style. Usually you're more clean, professional and precise…whatever this company is, looks like either a fallen company, a young ignorant company or a false company created by delinquents….I'm a little worried big brother…" Mokuba said nervously.
"I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried….nothing is set in stone though so don't think about it too much. I can still cut and destroy if need be." I said shrugging.
As though I could ever bring myself to destroy him….
"Alright…" Mokuba said with a more relaxed smile. "If I had known you were going to be home I would've stayed…I made plans with someone…." Mokuba informed cautiously.
"Don't worry about it." I said leaning over to ruffle his hair. He smiled and got off the bed.
"Alright….well I'll be going then. Have fun today big brother!" Mokuba said cheerfully waving as he left the room.
I was left in silence with the letter now back in my hands. I smiled slightly.
The date was far off, almost a week from today, but I couldn't bring myself away from this sense of happiness. This week I could work out the kinks in everything. My outfit well planned, the business idea drawn to be legit, the schedule change I'll have to make for this to work….I'll be busy enough. I can take the wait.
