Just Friends

Ch. 2

Important things long forgotten

After the event at the mall and the talk with Reito, I found myself in front of the college dormitory gates, yes I know I can afford to live in my own place but I really wanted to be able to live with my friends and have fun, just to be a normal college student, But I guess being a daughter of one of the richest men in Japan, didn't make it easier either!

I had trouble making friends back in high school, not that I wasn't popular or anything, but because I was afraid that people befriended me because of my place and money, but I had relatives, and they are my only friends and currently my roommates at the dormitory…

After parking my precious Black Ducati in my private parking space, well being rich has its benefits too you know.

I was walking a narrow hall leading to my dorm room, but suddenly my phone went off, Oh what now!?

"What?!" I answered without looking at the caller ID, I was tired and very pissed off, who would call me in this hour!?

"I don't think that's a way to greet your old man, Natsuki" a very familiar thick/manly voice rang in my ear,

"Otou-Sama!" oh my god! Why didn't I look at caller ID? Stupid Kuga, stupid Kuga... Wait! Focus father is talking…

"Natsuki are you alright?" I heard my father asking

"H-Hai Father! I'm alright… is there something in the matter?"

"Ahh yes… I actually wanted to ask you something?"

"I'm listening father" I said after getting myself together

To say I'm afraid of dad, it would be an understatement, I feared Kuga Sachi greatly, I rather feared failing him in anyway, and of course my dad had only known one side of me The innocent, polite always on top Natsuki, but if I showed him the other side

He would be surely disappointed in me, it's hard to keep a mask in front of your loved ones but I guess I don't have any other choice,

"Well, I was thinking maybe you and your brother would like to keep me company in the party that Marguerite corp. decided to throw"

"Oh?" hmm Marguerite? Why does it sound so familiar?

"Yes it's very important; I wouldn't want to go without my beloved children"

"Father! We are not children anymore" I said calmly

"I know I know! I just like to think so" he chuckled "Gomensai Natsuki"

"Its okay father, you do not need to apologize for something as silly as this"

"Arigatu Natsuki! So what do you say?"

"Fine with me, but you have to talk to Reito about this?"

"Oh I was hoping that you would do that for me"

"Of course father I will do that" I replied eagerly though I don't why.

I heard some chuckles then "okay then, Natsuki Goodnight"

"Goodnight father" I ended the call, sighing... What a long day!

Though approaching my apartment door I heard some noise it sounded like muffled music,,,

"Damn that red-head!" I busted into the door without a second thought, though I regretted it the minute I saw the sight that got me speechless,

My idiot red-head best friend apparently invited the whole college dorm to our dorm room, when everyone there notice my appearance everybody went into a fit of chaos

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!" oh my god! I indeed forgot that today was my birthday

People I don't know started approaching me and hugging me and congratulating me

While I'm shocked at myself for even letting them do that, I like my personal space

The red-head I was talking about earlier was walking towards me, threw herself into my arms and hugged me tightly , I could sense that she was drunk

Because Yuuki Noa would never hug you even if you were her childhood best friend

"Kuga!!! Happy birthday pup" I could smell the alcohol from her breath, when did she become such a Midori, I chuckled at my thoughts

"Nao are you drunk?" Well Duh! Isn't it obvious?

"Yeah –hiccup- just for my pup-hiccup" still hugging me tightly quite uncomfortably might I say….

"You can let go of me Noa" I pleaded

"'Kay" she said lifting herself from my arms

"So you did this for me?" I had to ask

"Of course what kind of a friend slash cousin would I be if I didn't?" she narrowed her eyes

"An awful one of course" I chuckled "do you believe that I actually forgot that it's my birthday?" I asked Nao

"What!!? How can someone forget their birthday! You're seriously messed up Kuga"

"You mean seriously busy" I dropped into the near couch as Nao followed me

"You know that's your problem Kuga! You forgot how to chill you know?" Noa was now talking crap as I actually wasn't even listening,

"Oh Reito is here too! But I don't know where he is at?"

"Probably hooking up with some girl" I answered her question

Nao offered me some beer, don't know where she got though but I took it gladly as I sat there drinking

And enjoying my half-assed birthday…

TBC….
