This will be a series of Kodam unseen moments (how they met, their wedding ceremony ecc.). Let me know if you enjoy it, and if you don't give me adivices
Kono was sitting at the bar with a half-empty beer bottle in her hands. That evening she decided to go to the bar, 'cause watching the game alone was too much melancholy. When she was younger and still living with his parents, she used to watch the game with her father, then she started to watch it with Chin at his place, they had so much fun together. Now he was with Malia, and she still could not bear it.
Looking around, Kono realized she was the only woman in the room. Next to her there was a very charming, well-dressed man who was sipping some brandy. He was probably one of those wealthy Japanese who had been transferred there to do businesses and enjoy all the beauties the island offered. When he realized she was watching him, the man smiled at her. He eyed her from head to toe, then focusing on the empty bottle in her hands. He finished his brandy in a sip and then motioning to the bartender to bring two more beers.
«One is for the lady» he said pointing her with his head. The bartender served the two bottles giggling at that scene he had seen so many times before.
Kono accepted the beer willingly, clutched it in his hands and, opening it, smiled at the man. «Thanks for this», she said, raising the bottle as if to toast.
«To the Rainbow Warriors' victory», he replied with his toast.
«To the Rainbow Warriors», she repeated. Looking at that man she couldn't stop smiling, she tried, but she just couldn't. He was good looking, true, but before him many other handsome men had tried to win her by buying her drinks. They stood silent for a while, drinking and staring at each other.
«So, you like football, right?», he asked all of a sudden. He seemed pretty sure of himself but still a little nervous.
«That's right», she answered nervously in turn. They started talking about a lot of football related stuff until a man, visibly drunk, approached them. He put one hand on his shoulder, the other on hers.
«This is a pretty arm candy, man», he mumbled staggering. «Is she good only at drinking or even in bed?», he continued laughing. Kono looked at the drunk man, then at the one she was talking to. She was completely capable of face the situation alone, but she wanted to see what the stunning playboy would have done to protect her. He looked back at her, then gently pushed the drunk man away.
«I'm going to pretend I haven't heard what you said, but if you try to get back to us or anyone else I'll call security», he said firmly. Then he put his hand on Kono's. «This's not a good place to watch the match. Would you like to come at my place?», he asked with father's protective look. «I have a seventy inches TV», he added reading the perplexity in Kono's eyes.
Looking at her from his Ferrari's driving mirror, Adam felt a lucky man. He didn't know that woman, he had met her less than an hour before at the bar, and yet she had made him smile again in that dark period. Gotten out of the car, he showed her where she could park hers. The garage was six places, and only three were occupied. The girl seemed impressed by all that luxury, still, she didn't show her wonder. In front of the seventy inches TV, she couldn't help but smile while Adam was pouring two glasses of wine.
«An aged Bruno Giacosa, you're treating me», she said maliciously, tasting the hundreds dollars wine.
«Nothing than the best, for you…». He noticed that, actually, he didn't even know her name.
«…Kono», she introduced herself with a smile.
«Kono… what a beautiful name. Is it native Hawaiian?».
«Yep. Actually, it's Kona, that means lady, but everybody calls me Kono, that means ruler of the world». At that affirmation, Adam laughed trying to figure out how strong that woman was in everyday's life. Being a good looking man wasn't easy, and it should be even worse being a good looking woman. «And I'm having the pleasure of talking with?».
«Adam», he replied as they looked into each other eyes for the first time.
They spent rest of the evening watching the game and talking, timidly cuddling each other from time to time.
