OVERSEAS MIRACLES

Chapter 41

Hearts in Longing

After the director had given all his instructions to the future Heel siblings, they all enjoyed their lunch with topics unrelated to showbiz. Just like in their previous assignment as Heel Siblings, the director wanted to take the same strategy as what Director Konoe of Tragic Marker did. He was totally impressed at the idea of having actor X and he really do love to create a twist and surprises in people's mind. Of course, they had made a deal of not revealing the couple's identity including to the cast and crews' of 'Cold vengeance' until a few months that is released to the public. So this means that Kyoko and Ren are going to hide their secret more or less than another year.

Most of the laughter came from Director Psalm. Well, Director Storx insisted to be called that way just because he likes the sound of it. After their last course which is their dessert, the director wanted to leave first for he has another appointment to attend.

"So, I guess we are done now. Ten will be here in L.A next week to take care of your disguises as usual. Then…" He eyed the couple with a little amusement. "Any plans you lovebirds have after this?" The president added with a grin.

That last question caught them off guard, making Kyoko flustered at the thought of it. Ren on the other hand, made an effort to keep his self from getting red like a foolish teenage boy. But, he has to admit that he wanted to spend time with Kyoko. Heck, those months were like hell for him.

"Uh..uhm… we haven't thought about that, president. But I guess Ren needs a long rest since he just came from Japan." Kyoko suggested shyly.

"Heeh… I see, you want to accompany him and stay in his hotel for a bit, neh?" The president grinned naughtily at her then he shot a deadly glare at Ren.

"No! I didn't say that I will be coming to his… or…." she exclaimed hastily until she ended murmuring the rest of her sentence.

"President. Don't imply such things that make her uncomfortable." Ren's brows twitched in irritation.

"Sorry?" The older man apologized innocently like a kid. "Oh, and before I could forget, Ren please come with outside. I need to have a word with you. And Kyoko-kun, you wait here, okay? We will just be back in a couple of minutes." He requested as Ren stood from his seat and went outside of the room following the president.

Checking to see if the hallway is clear and nobody is around, the president began.

"Ren, you do realize that this Heel siblings assignment is going to is a different experience for the both of you." President Lory emphasized.

"Hmm? Aren't we just going to act like the way me and Kyoko did way back Tragic Marker, right?" The young man replied simply.

"You know what I'm trying to say, Ren. I know what it feels when you have your lover with you in one room especially when the bed is just a few meters away. Well, I don't mind what you two do in your own private lovey dovey moments but please; don't force yourself on her if she's not willing." The president urged.

"That goes without saying!" Ren exclaimed a little bit. 'It sounds déjà vu. Damn, what is he thinking? This had been the second time he said something like this to me.' Ren cursed inwardly as he remembered what the president in an Egyptian get up told him way back then. "DON'T CROSS THAT LINE."

"This is not a joke, Ren. I'm being serious here. And mark my words. If anything happens to her, you better prepare for it. Kuu will surely kill you." The president warned as Ren's eyes widened in shock. After the talk between men, they went back inside.

"Kyooko." Ren called, touching her shoulders from behind to see what she is doing with her tab.

"Hyaa!" she shrieked in surprise. "Ren! Now look. My missile squad went to the wrong direction." She pouted in upset.

Ren, being not able to resist her cutie pout, planted a chaste peck on her pouty lips. After that, he saw her blushing like mad and this made him smirk cockily at the effect he just made her be. To distract her mind, he said;

"So, you play that game too? But isn't that a game usually played by boys? You seem good at it. Hey, how about we switch to multiplayer mode. With the way I see you play, for sure I will defeat you I no time." Ren suggested with a challenge as he took out his own tab out of his bag.

"Huh? It was your fault I failed! I'll show you!" And with that… Kyoko's challenged mode is on.

As Ren expected, she accepted the challenge and he can't help but laugh at her determined demeanor.

"Hey, what are you laughing at, mister? Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I'm not capable of playing games what boys do. I will knock down your base in just a split of time." Kyoko pointed at her with her fiery eyes, treating Ren as if she is her enemy.

"Well then, let's have our tabs connected then we can start the game." Ren suggested as he tap some menus on his tab.

A few minutes later, there have been fade tapping noises surrounding the room. The couple, being too deeply focused on their war game, they have been feeding the amusement of the president to no end.

'Hhhmmm. I guess I have nothing to do here anymore.' He thought.

"Excuse me, sweethearts." The president spoke.

The couple instantly pause their game before they reply to the president. "What?!" They replied grumpily in unison. But to Kyoko's realization, she immediately apologized profusely to the president with her oh-so perfect dogeza.

"There, there, Kyoko-kun. I understand, really." The president reassured the girl for the nth time. "Well, then. I have to leave first. You can stay a little longer in here since I booked this room until 2:30. So, you have about an hour to finish that game of yours. Okay, lovebirds. I'm gonna fly to save the world! Bye!" He immediately left in superman mode before the couple could say goodbye to him.

After that, the room went silent all of a sudden until Ren broke spoke. "Hey, let's finish the game first." said Ren then the two continued for about ten minutes more. Ren had discovered that Kyoko is quite a noisy opponent. She kept on murmuring words of threats and many more while playing. But then, he doesn't mind that. It's just the way she is. He just chuckled to himself.

"Die, Tsuruga Ren!" She said victoriously as she destroyed the defense grounds of Ren.

"Oh no, you don't little miss. You're not aware that I have already destroyed your power plants." Ren said in a fast manner.

"What? Noooo!" Kyoko screamed in terror.

"Crap!" Ren shouted in exasperation.

"Eh? Enemy offline?" Kyoko said in confusion then she turned herself to Ren.

"My tab is out of battery. I left the charger on my luggage." Ren leaned on the chair as if he is exhausted.

"So this means I'm the winner!" Kyoko jumped in joy.

"Hey, it's not fair. It's not my fault my tab went off on its own." He defended childishly.

"Heeh? It is your fault for not checking it beforehand! What kind of driver are you when you were not aware that you are running out of gas?" She talked back.

"Wait a minute. Since when did you learn to talk like that? Come here you, I better teach you a lesson." He moved closer to her as he attempted to catch her. Kyoko, as quick as a kangaroo, jumped off on the couch and tried to move away from him around from her until she is trapped in the corner of the room.

"Kyoko, you just turned yourself into a bad girl. I wonder how I am going to punish you." He grinned evilly at her as his eyes darkened.

"Eeeek! The emperor of the night!" Her mind screamed urgently.

"So?" He leaned his hand on the wall beside her head and moved his face closer for about half a foot away from hers.

"Aim..mmori." She murmured.

"What? I didn't hear you. Say it clearly and face me." He whispered sexily as he raised her chin to have her face to face with him.

"I'm sorry." She felt like a terrified pill bug.

"Seeing her a little scared and nervous at his face, Ren calmed down and scolded himself for getting to that point. "Come here." He snaked his arm around her waist and pull him close on his chest.

"Ren… I miss you." She whispered gently then she froze for she realized what had just slipped from her mouth.

Ren was too stunned to hear it from her but his heart went like bubbles fluttering within him. The way her cute voice entered his ears smoothly and sweetly, the way she expressed it longingly on his chest; He can't explain the warmth of passion he is feeling right now. He has to admit that he feels like flying to cloud nine. To reciprocate her message, he tightened his hug around her waist, feeling her beautiful curves underneath her dress, he kissed her hair and smelled deeply, taking note of how she smells refreshing and irresistible.

"Kyoko…" he said as he breathed deeply. "I miss you too." He whispered softly and he pulled away a little from her to see her face. 'What a beautiful woman. I'm so lucky to finally have her back in my arms. And I'll never let go of her no matter what.' He thought possessively. With their near distance, he closed the remaining gap between them and captured her soft lips in a passionate kiss.

She thought she was dreaming until she felt something warm pressed on her lips. Realizing her situation, she got flustered at his sudden action but she can't find herself to push him away. Instead, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him to deepen the kiss.

Their hearts felt so lively connected for the first time as if they are lifted off the ground with no care what's going on around them. All that matters right now is that they are this close as they share this exquisite intimacy. They remained in that position for a little bit longer, making up for those months they have missed. They convey all everything of their longing in this kiss as they hold each other close as if fearing for something that could possibly tear them apart. When time seems like forever, they pulled away to fill their lungs with oxygen.

Kyoko was blushing too hard while Ren fought his self not to ravish her too much. They still held each other in their warm embrace and kept silent for a while as they savor each other's presence. All of a sudden, Kyoko's cell phone rang. It's a text message.

"Excuse me, Ren. I need to see who's messaging me." She hesitantly pulled away from him and she felt a little disappointed at the lost of contact.

"Do you have to go somewhere after this?" Ren asked as Kyoko rummaged through her bag.

"Hmm… Nowhere particularly. I just thought that I have to go home after the meeting." She answered before she returned her attention to her phone.

"Will it be okay for if we go for a stroll together around?" He asked. In all honesty, Ren was a little bit in doubt in asking her. He can't just go straight to the hotel to rest now that he has Kyoko with him. All his exhaustion from his flight was all washed away because of her presence. He yearns to be with her more; wanted to make up those empty months with her; wanted to take her somewhere where they can spend quality time before they could start acting out the Heel siblings. It will be a new challenge on how to keep his self from jumping on her.

Kyoko was stunned at his request. Her mind immediately answered yes. Of course, she was also thinking if there was a possibility to spend some time with him.

"I would love to come with you for a while, Ren." She answered coyly. "But aren't you tired.?" She asked.

"Now that I have you here with me, not anymore. " He admitted with a smile making Kyoko's face turned 10 folds of red shades.

"Oh…" Is what she said. She was actually happy. Spending time with Ren for a moment would be a great idea.
