Apparently, I was taken to a hotel in the Kowloon district of Hong Kong called The Peninsula. Beautiful and elegant hotel I have got to admit. It seemed like a castle. Everywhere, there were Phantom Rolls Royces parked on the edges of the hotel. Big jewellery shops were lined up neatly on the first level of the hotel. A water fountain was settled in the middle of the front of the hotel. There were beautiful decorated lights, sprawled on the hotel building. The lights formed into the stars and the moon. It was absolutely beautiful.

"Raleigh, where did you find this place?" I asked curiously, while our driver pulled up to the main entrance of the hotel.

Raleigh shrugged, "Mako is a big help."

I gave him a small laugh, "Yeah, Mako sure knows Hong Kong."

Raleigh slung his arm over my shoulder and squeezed. I flinched by his touch but allowed him to touch me, "Hong Kong is so beautiful." He whispered into my ear. I shook my head and felt my cheeks burn. I hate it when he comes up close to me and whispers right in my ear, that was weakness with him.

A man opened my door and helped me out and greeted me. I politely nodded to him and waited for Raleigh. I tried not to drool while Raleigh nodded at the man and gave him a small tip for the driver. He then tucked his right hand into his pants and walked around the car towards me. He looked left and right to check for cars then finally caught my gaze. I remembered the slightest drop of my saliva dripped down my lip gloss which caught me back to reality. He gave me one of his lop sided smiles and stood next to me.

"Did you apply blush?" He asked out of the blue.

I sighed, "To be honest... no. It's all natural." I squeaked.

Raleigh then snaked an arm around my waist and we started walking in, "Great, I love it." He whispered closely again.

OH MY GOD! STOP DOING THAT! MY INSIDES ARE GOING CRAZY!

The big doors of the hotel opened and we entered the front lobby with the sound of violins, the piano and the cello playing. The ceiling had a huge chandelier, and from left and right there were people having freshly made dinner under their noses.

Raleigh escorted me to a man that asked for our reservation. "Becket." Raleigh simply said. The man nodded and let us follow him towards a private table at the edge of the room with a window that had an amazing view of Hong Kong Island. The man pulled my chair first and then Raleigh's. I sat down and placed my purse near the candles that lit the table. I looked down and saw a fancy Menu on top of my plate. I grabbed it and scanned the Menu.

Fancy.

Fancy.

Fancy.

Fancy.

Fancy.

Everything is so fancy it's getting really annoying.

"Is there anything like plain noodles here?" I asked Raleigh.

Raleigh was busily studying the Menu, "I guess not..."

I shrugged and starred at the most simplest dish. Grilled tuna sandwich. Definitely getting that.

I starred out the window while Raleigh was looking for what to eat. Those busy street lights glowed on the sea water that boats swam across. The skyscrapers were in positions that made Hong Kong so... Hong Kong. IFC was beautiful. The top of the building looked like a pitch fork, ICC (Which our hotel was in) looked amazing with pictures sprawled on the windows. They say the real deal in Hong Kong was when you see it at night, everything is lit up.

I grabbed my phone and snapped a few shots of the view, I then looked at Raleigh who was still looking at the Menu. I faced my phone towards him, "Smile, Raleigh." I said. He looked up and gave me a smirk. I snapped that, then giggled. What a cute picture...

Raleigh finally closed the menu book and looked me straight in the eyes. His turquoise eyes burned into my own eyes. What was he looking for? A sign? A explanation? A hint? What can he find in my eyes? I see nothing through his... it's hard to see what's behind his eyes.

"So how was Mako today?" Raleigh asked.

"She's so cool, and hilarious. She makes me laugh all the time." I say brightly, "She even talks about her journey with you in Gipsy Danger." I say softly.

Raleigh gives a small nod, "Loved that Jaeger. We're going to see it tomorrow. At your step-fathers company."

I clenched my fist, "Yes. SO pumped. Can't wait to see it."

Raleigh laughed and raised his hand to order. So enough a man walked towards us. A note pad ready with a pen. Raleigh ordered me my dish first, Grilled Tuna Sandwich, he ordered himself a Medium-Rare Steak and he also ordered us a bottle of red wine. The man nodded and walked away.

"I always thought that Gipsy Danger was beautiful." Raleigh said softly. "She was unique, that's why. She was old too, but beautiful and unique. I could never forget how her heart burnt so bright..."

I looked up into Raleigh's eyes, it was full of... sadness. "Raleigh, we can stop talking about it if you don't wa-"

"No. I want to tell you. The good and bad memories that Gipsy and I shared... Yancy..." Raleigh shook his head, "He was the closest family I ever had... we were still connected when he died. I felt his brain being suppressed and then... snap. He goes offline." Raleigh continued, "I felt his pain. I felt how he died." Raleigh shook his head again. "Then Mako came. I felt her rage, her need of vengeance, her need of defeat. I felt it so much, I needed it too." Raleigh then smiled, "We were an amazing team. Mako, Gipsy and I. We were great. Those horrible memories of Kaijus everywhere actually changed into brightness because of our teamwork. We did so well." Raleigh looked at me, "Then Gipsy Danger... it was her time that she had done enough, sadly... it was her time to go..." Raleigh kept his eyes on me, "Then your step father came to look for me, and gave me great news that the new generation of Gipsy is coming..." Raleigh looked down at my hands and held them tight, "And then, I met you." I laughed, "I feel like I can trust you, Caroline." Raleigh said, "You are amazing, beautiful and original. I never encountered a girl like you in my life. That's what caught my eye." Raleigh still locked his eyes with mine, "You are amazing." He said again.

I couldn't help but blush hard, "Raleigh..." I started to say, "That was so cheesy." I giggled.

Raleigh rolled his eyes, "Aaaaand, Caroline ruins the moment."

I started to laugh and Raleigh eventually joins in.


Our dinner came quickly. I shook my head on how fancy the food was. Even my simple grilled tuna sandwich was piled neatly into two pieces, the crusts were stuck together it didn't even look like a sandwich anymore. I had a side dish of salad. I looked over at Raleigh and saw his plate. A beautiful looking steak was in the middle of a decorated plate of asparagus and potatoes. It looked really good.

We ate while we talked about our past. Mostly mine though. I told him about my depressing child hood. My parents got a divorce when I was 12 because my dad found out that my mom was cheating on him... my mom was with another man. That was the beginning of my hatred towards my mom. My sister didn't mind though, she was too young that's why. My dad left me and my sister behind with my mom. In middle school, I was bullied because I had this kind of a mother that would cheat on her husband. I had to sit in the toilet while eating lunch, do assignments on my own when we were suppose to have a partner, no one would talk to me normally, everyone would look down at me. When I was 18, getting ready to go to college... the first Kaiju attacked California. Where I lived. I was terrified. I didn't know what to do but see my house burn down and see many people getting stuffed in the bellies of Kaiju's. I quickly left the place and entered a safe place... the Grand Canyon. I thought it was safe because it was in the middle of the entire country. Kaiju's would never get that far. I only had to see Kaiju's when I turned on the T.V or in my nightmares. It was horrible. In the Grand Canyon, I transferred to Arizona's State University and studied there, eventually I went back to the Grand Canyon and got a job. I worked there ever since then. Now, 23 year old me is in Hong Kong with the most famous guy in the planet... Raleigh Becket. But... why me? He could've met another girl... like Mako. Maybe he liked Mako... who knows.

My life was bad luck ever since I was born, but Raleigh somehow turned that upside down...


"This is amazing..." I breathed in the fresh sea smell that I didn't smell in ages.

Raleigh wrapped his arms around my waist and held me against the railing and watched light reflection on the sea water. Hong Kong was beautiful. I held his forearms with my hands and leaned my head against his big biceps.

"I love this..." I said to him, "Thank you so much, for making this happen."

I heard his voice on my back, he was chuckling. Okay, did I say something wrong? What did I do to make him laugh... oh my gosh... now I feel embarrassed... I opened my mouth to start a conversation but Raleigh turned my around to face him. Without warning, he pulled me against him and kissed me. He kissed me on the harbor where tourist were everywhere... and the city lights shining over us... and the sound of cars swooshing past us... and the fact that he was pinning me against the railing with my dress hiked up my upper thigh... who cares. Not me, I didn't give a shit.

I aggressively wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me, pulled him to a deeper kiss. I missed those lips. Those soft... pink... perfect lips that were on mine. His arms were already snaked around my waist and he pushed himself against me. The kiss was in between aggressive and fast and soft and slow... it was everywhere... I missed it so much... I missed it so much...
