Chapter 5

Amu's POV.
We both got off the plane and we're now waiting for a damn yellow cab to go to our hotels. It felt kind of awkward since he was right beside me and making my heartbeat incredibly fast. Fresh air went through me and it felt nice. New York was beautiful with the city lights and buildings. It made my eyes stare at every detailed scene. The people, the new atmosphere, and this new feeling was great.

This other feeling, was a new feeling to me. I haven't felt this unusual feeling for a long time. Was this what people meant by love?
All this time, I was busy working on my assignments for my company, or either hanging out with Rima, whom right now should be in Japan shopping and is making her bodyguards hold her gazillion shopping bags.
But right now, I feel like I want to know more about Ikuto. This magical person who just appeared in my life and who is making me feel these weird emotions.

He was staring out to the sky while we were sitting in the bench nearby. His eyes were glittering and reflecting from the starlights. His dark blue hair was perfectly smooth and somewhat messy. His face was perfect too. His cheekbones, skin, nose, and his lips were perfectly in place, and it was like he was destined to be a model. Also, he was pretty tall too. Maybe 5"8 tall? Too bad I was only 5"4.

Ikuto's whole presence seemed too irresistible to me. What was with me?! I wouldn't usually feel like this. I wanted to touch his hair, and all his perfect features. Usually I would have more patience, but I suddenly had this craving…

"Ready to go?" He asked me when the yellow cab had arrived.

"Oh… sure." I stumbled to get up.

He quickly grabbed my luggage and his and packed it into the trunk. He then opened the door for me like a gentlemen. I blushed and went inside the little yellow car.
Ikuto then closed the door and gave the driver the direction to this five star hotel. He seemed like he knew his ways around New York. Maybe this isn't his first time coming here?

"Is she your girlfriend?" The driver asked as he eyed me through the rear view mirror.

"No!" I almost yelled.

He only smirked and wrapped his arms around my waist, then leaned his chin in my right shoulder. I froze, as my body couldn't move as if he made me not move.

"She is. She's just too embarrassed to admit it," he smiled even more.

"Well, any guy would be jealous of you at the moment then! She's a beauty alright," the driver said with expression. The driver looked nice enough, maybe around his 40's. I'm sure he would've hitten on me if I was alone.

I blushed madly red. Then I could see Ikuto´s smiling expression. He then hugged me from the back even tighter. I felt bewildered. I tried to get out of it, but he wouldn't let me. I sighed and just gave up. He hugged me throughout the whole drive. It felt kind of comfortable too, I felt safe in his arms.

"Are you kidding me…" I said as my mouth dropped from the five star hotel that was standing right in front of me.

Ikuto ignored my speechlessness and just went into the front desk of the hotel.

"One bedroom please,"

"What about mine?!" I asked.

"Aww, don't you wanna share with me?" He asked with tease in his face.

"NO."

He giggled, "Okay, cross that. Two rooms please."

The front desk person bit his lower lip as if he was holding his own laughter. I rolled my eyes. Ugh, he has a perverted side too!

We were walking towards the elevator. This hotel was very extravagant and lavish. The floors were shining brightly, and the ceilings were decorated with huge crystal chandeliers. Marble walls, people gathering in the lobby enjoying their conversations, it felt very surreal at that moment.
I was at a five star hotel in New York, with possibly the most attractive person on Earth, and I'm having difficulty trying to gather it all in me at this moment.

While I was daydreaming, I basically missed half of what Ikuto was trying to tell me.

"So, if you don't come back to reality right now, I might have to kiss you awake." He said as he got closer to my face, smiling from my blank expression.

"I'm sorry, w-what?!" I stepped back since he was too close to me all of a sudden. I reacted very fast too.

"Darn, I was hoping you'd be daydreaming a bit more," he smirked.

I sighed. "If he did that, I would've probably passed out." I thought to myself.

We entered to our own rooms, and I was finally relaxed. I quickly changed to my nightgown as wearing the clothes for a long period of time has warn me off.
Without any hurry, I then collapsed to the bed, my face buried into the pillow. It felt nice and cushiony. I hugged it nice and tight.
I felt free from the stuffy airplane and the unpredicted experience that happened along with it.
I rolled my body to face the ceiling. The bed was nice and big. Laces and feathers and all.

Suddenly I felt really tired as if my eyes were going to give out on me any second. I tried to fight it, but I couldn't.

I had to call Rima, and get the details for my business meet here, and "yawn" get my job done...Then I quietly escaped reality, and went into the blissful dream that was awaiting me.

--

"Darn! How many hours was I asleep??" I yelled as i tried to find my outfits throughout the hell packing that I had done when I was leaving for the airport.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

"Ugh." I groaned.

"Who is it?!"

"Your Prince Charming."

I opened the door as I saw his beautiful face smirking at me, and then I snorted.

"My prince charming wouldn't have stalked me in the morning." I replied.

"Well thats because he wanted to see your lovely face as early as he possibly could've."

He then walked into my room and sat on the white loveseat.

"You know, you look even more tempting in the mornings," he eyed me in my silk nightgown.

As he finished that sentence, I quickly grabbed my clothes and slammed the washroom door loudly to get dressed. He laughed loudly from that.

--

As I finished changing into my usual outfit, I quickly did my hair and only to see that he was still sitting on the loveseat.

"Let's go out to dinner tonight. My treat." He said as he got up and walked towards me.

"Sorry, I need to check in with my work first."

He pouted. It was pretty funny and cute how he looked.

"I'll tell you when I'm free okay?" I said as to trying to make him feel better.

"You better."

He then got closer to me and before I knew it, he pinned me towards the wall and his left hand was at the wall, almost trapping me.

"Because I really can't resist you," he said as he got closer to my face, our tip of our noses touching.

I was truly blushing now.
