Chapter 21
As the Bugatti rolled up the driveway and into the garage, the butler rushed down as he checked his watch. It was close to midnight, the guest in the mistress's wing had been there for the longest time and none had made a move towards the statue. He met his mistress at the entrance, took her coat and informed her of the awaiting guest.

As she stood over him and admired his angelic peaceful features, she gave in to the urge to kiss him. So, she leaned towards him and gave him a soft kiss on the lips. Then he put his arms around her waist and said, eyes still closed…"Is that all I get for waiting for five hours?"
He then pulled her down and stared straight into her eyes…
"I think I deserve more," then he closed the gap.
When they parted the nuzzled against each others noses and smiled a knowing smile.
"I love you…"

As the suns rays permeated the room, it barely disturbed the couple locked in each others embrace, with faces neatly tucked in the nape of the other.
"Hey Rui, do you know what time it is?" asked Akira getting up from his seat.
"What's new my friend, he's always like that…" said Soujiro clapping Akira on the back.
"You should really try punctuality Rui," said Tsukasa.
"I am when it is due…" he said leaning on the pillar.
"Are you saying we're a waste of your time?" asked Akira.
"I didn't say that, you did" said Rui as he smiled inwardly.
"Damn you…"
And the other three just chuckled.
"What's so funny?" said Tsukushi as she appeared from behind the tree and touched the small of Rui's back.
"Definitely not you, I don't remember you being so beautiful this morning when I left you," said Rui as he placed his hand on her waist and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
"Wow, smooth dude," said Akira.
"Do you ever shut up Akira," said Soujiro as he turned and walked away.
Then he turned to Rui and said,"Ever heard of monogamy Rui?"
"You are one to talk I suppose, the perfect example?" retorted Rui turning to face him.
"Damn you!" said Soujiro as he threw Rui a fist.
"No, damn you! Stop checking my girlfriend out." Said Rui returning his gift.
"And where is the label?" said Soujiro as he wiped the blood off his nose.
"Rui… Don't," said Tsukushi holding Rui back.
"He… he kept,"
"You're better than that… Let's go." Said Tsukushi taking his hand.

As three of them sat sipping wine in Boudoir, dinner was served.
"Nice nose Rui," commented Tsukasa.
"You want one?" he retorted.
"Sure, if it meant that Tsukushi would baby me as much," he said jokingly.
"Don't you start with me young man…" warned Tsukushi.
"Oh, so now I'm a young man…-"

"I'll get back to you," said tsukasa pointing at Tsukushi while he flipped his phone.
"hello,"
"Tsukasa, listen carefully,"
"Tsubaki? What's-"
"Come to NY A.S.A.P."
"Why, I'll tell you when you get here. I'll see you,"
"Okay, see you."

"Looks like I don't have the time for you oldies, gotta fly," he said getting up.
"And you said you'd always be there for me." Said Tsukushi pouting.
"Aww… well you have the gargoyle over there to meet your every need," he said chuckling.
All rui did was gave him an icy glare. A chuckle resurfaced.

"Come on, I'll see you home," said Tsukushi as they left Boudoir.
"No, I want to take you somewhere."
