"I don't know, man. I'm not exactly very good at this whole girl thing." Rai chuckled.
"Are you serious here? You're Raimundo Pedrosa! You have a fan club in Brazil! Hell, I hardly know any girls back home!" Clay slapped Rai on the back and took a seat next to him.
"I don't know really. Maybe the two of us should take a field trip?" Rai's eyes lit up.
"I don't know… What if the girls need us?" Clay bit his lip.
"Hm… Good point… Maybe we should all go on a well-earned trip? We could take a few days for each place and show everyone our home towns! Starting with Tokyo, of course, then travel along!" Rai was on a roll for ideas. "Kimiko start packing! We're going on a trip!" He called down the hall to the girl. Everyone had scattered to do whatever.
"What trip? I'm skyping Frankie and I really don't want to waste time." She came in and looked frustrated.
"First off is Tokyo." He said, smirking.
"I'M PACKING! I'M PACKING!" She sprinted down the hall screaming. "FRANKIE, I'LL BE THERE TO SEE YOU SOON. I'M COMING TO TOKYO!"
"Well partner, you just made one lil' lady mighty happy." Clay took his hat off to him.
Once the gang were all packed and loaded into Kimiko's helicopter, they sat and chatted until the pilot announced they had arrived. The blurring lights swelled round the group. Kimiko thanked the pilot then jumped out and onto Frankie who was waiting for her with flowers. "Hey baby!" He wrapped his arms around her.
"Eh-hem…" Rai coughed and separated the two.
Frankie passed Kimi the flowers. "I got you roses. I know they're your favourite and I miss you so much so I thought a treat!" He beamed.
Rai turned to Frankie. "Hey man." Rai shook his hand and Frankie greeted everyone.
"So, everyone back to mine?" Kimi grinned at Frankie.
"I think you mean ours?" Frankie laughed.
"You live together?" Taylor asked.
"He lives with me. He needed a place to stay when his parents moved to India and you'll understand when you see my apartment."
"Indecent." Taylor snorted to Clay who just raised an eyebrow back.
They were in the lift down from the lift but they went down to a glass corridor which led to another half of the building. Then they all piled into another lift. Frankie pressed the highest number, 79.
"Before you see my apartment, I just want to say, it's not what you're expecting. My dad gave me the apartment for my birthday the year I left. He didn't live in it with me all the time but Frankie started living here with me so it's not quite you are expecting." Kimiko said to them all.
Ding! The lift opened into her apartment. There were different colour schemes in each part of the apartment, with a balcony with plants and a rose shrub. The balcony was paved with a wooden patio but was surrounded by a glass and metal barrier. There were parts with warm stones which were under the wooden patio. This was not an apartment; it was a dream penthouse.
"So um, this is where we live." Kimiko watched her friends look at everything.
"How many bedrooms?" Taylor asked.
"Well, there is mine, Frankie's, my dad's room and two spare. They all have their own bathrooms and there is the master bathroom but people can room share, I'm sure." Kimiko had never mentioned where she lived.
"Well, show us around?" Rai asked.
"Yeah sure." She showed the kitchen, living room with pull out beds and every bedroom and bathroom except her dad's.
"Well there are five rooms and four lots of couplings plus Dojo and Frankie who can share." Taylor said.
"So I'll take mine then?" Kimiko said.
"I'll take mine too with Dojo." Frankie bit his lip.
"We'll take the spare!" Jack and Ashley grinned.
"I'll take the other with Omi." Anastasia blurted.
"Fine! We'll take your dad's room then, Kim!" Taylor beamed.
"That wasn't an option." Kimiko said blankly.
"Well, I'm making it one." Taylor dismissed.
"Tay, just leave it." Clay warned.
"No one has been in that room since Toshiro died, except Kimi when she starts missing him." Frankie shook his head.
"Well where do we sleep then?" Taylor was annoyed.
"Couch bed." Rai said bluntly. "Where am I sleeping?"
"You can sleep on the floor of my room." Kimiko smiled weakly.
"Kimi, can we throw a party tonight?" Frankie asked suddenly.
"I don't know… It's been a while…" She was really unsure about it.
"Oh come on, it'll be fun! You know how good I am at this stuff!" He pleaded.
"It's a bit short notice…" She bit her lip.
"We can have it here. We'll lock your dad's door and no one will go in. I'll call in the favours I'm owed and boom! Party time!" He sat on her foot and wrapped himself round her leg like a toddler. "Pwease Kimi-cub?" He batted his eyelashes at her manically.
"Fine! Make sure there are some decent people here though! NO DRUGS, FRANKIE!"
"Of course not! Just booze booze and more booze!" He winked and got out his blackberry and android and began making phone calls.
"Why has he got two phones?" Omi asked.
"Personal life and business life." Anastasia stated.
Frankie finished a couple of calls. "GIRLS WE NEED TO GET READY!" He pulled all the girls into Kimiko's room. He stuck his head out of the door. "Boys, my room is free. Hide your stuff. You should see one of my parties. Lock your stuff in my little cupboard." He disappeared to leave the boys to fend for themselves.
A few hours transformed the apartment. Whilst everyone was in their rooms, Frankie's decorators decorated the whole apartment for the party and bought everything on his list. One of the biggest counters was full of drinks and a bit of food. People began to arrive and the gang were overwhelmed. Frankie had invited everyone. Kim and Frankie were talking to a group of girls.
A girl went running up. "K, you wouldn't guess who has come with peonies and chocolates?"
"Ugh, you're kidding." She looked disgusted.
"No, he's here! And that hot guy is going to talk to him!"
Kimiko turned round to see Haz standing with Rai. They were talking and she couldn't do a thing about it.
"Hey man. You look as lost as I do." Rai greeted the guy.
"Yeah, my girl is here somewhere. You'll know her when you see her." He saw Rai's confused face. "She's the most beautiful girl in the world."
"Haha, my girl is here too. She's the most beautiful girl ever. I'm Raimundo." He smiled and held out his hand.
"Hi, I'm Haruto but most call me Haz." He shook Rai's hand. "So where are you from?"
"I'm from Rio. I take it you're from here?"
"Of course. Tell me about your girl?" Haruto pulled a stick of gum out and began to chew it.
"She's somewhere around here. She was the girl of my dreams before I even realised." He chuckled and rubbed the back of his neck with his hand.
"Wow, she sounds quite the girl." Haruto smiled.
"She's got me totally whipped and wrapped round her finger but I wouldn't have it any other way." Rai smiled.
"So are you two together then?"
"No but I hope one day I'll have the balls to ask her to be my girlfriend."
"Yeah, I want to ask my girl out but she's a bit of a wanderer. She's also a bit of an ice queen if you get what I mean?" Haz winked.
"Mate, my best friend is a girl. You're hot by her standards. You could thaw her out." The boys laughed.
"Somebody bring me excessive amounts of alcohol." Kimiko groaned at the boys laughing.
"Kimi…" One of the girls started.
"NOW." Kimiko growled.
The girls ran off and appeared with two bottles of blue liquid that looked like breezer and three bottles of Smirnoff ice. She downed the three bottles and then started on the breezer.
"K, don't you think you should slow down?" A girl bit her lip.
"Sambuca… Someone get me Pink Sambuca!" She requested.
"Oh god…" Frankie ran and got four bottles. Kimiko had downed the breezer by the time he got back. He handed her two bottle of Sambuca and she ripped off the lid. He ripped off his and they began to drink.
Clay turned round to see a guy and a girl with pink bottles in hands dancing on tables. He pulled round Taylor to show her. She saw them.
Ana and Omi caught Taylor's eye and she pointed at the table. Kimiko was drinking and laughing and dancing with Frankie who was encouraging her.
Rai noticed her and saw her began to wobble. In a flash, he caught her as she fell off the table.
"Woah, you okay?" Rai asked at the drunken girl in his arms.
"I am fine! You are fiiiiiiiiiiine!" She started giggling and wrapped her arms round his neck.
Haz made a start towards them.
"Come on, Kim. Let's get you outside, sweetie." Rai carried her out to the balcony where everyone had left undisturbed.
"Mate, I can handle it from here." Haruto emerged out, shutting the door behind him.
"Oh hey Haruto! What are you doing here?!" Kimiko started laughing madly.
"Kimi, how much have you had to drink babe?" Haruto put his hand on her cheek to stroke it but she flinched away.
"Not enough! And I am not your babe! I am his babe!" She stroked down Rai's face.
"But babe, I want us to finally get together!" He tried to take her free hand.
"Nope!" She popped the 'p'. "I love this idiot here! And we will get married because we had sex!" She hiccupped and laughed.
"Mate, you banged my girl?" Haz stood up straight and faced Rai.
"Bro, I didn't know she was your girl but she's my girl now by the sounds of it…" He put Kimiko down and she stood wobbly on her feet but she stayed upright.
"Rai, I thought you had honour. I'm not going to let you walk away from this." He jabbed towards Rai.
"Haz, I didn't know!" He dodged each hit until Haruto hit his cheek. He saw red and knocked him right off his feet. "If you didn't know, I fight for a living." He spat a bit of blood towards Haruto and walked inside with his arm around Kimi. "Girl, I think we need to talk."
"Uh oh." She looked at him wide eyed and felt all the alcohol she had drank starting to come back up. She made a dash for the bathroom and he rubbed her back and began to talk as she threw up all her regret and lies she had on her shoulders.
