Chapter Forty-three: Talk about romance & sex…-
Date: May 19th, 2012
Location: S.S.A; Main greenhouse
Time: 9:08 AM
Annuals. Bulbs. Perennials. Trees. Shrubs. Vines. The enormous garden inside the elaborate glass greenhouse has a casual appearance. One could see the colors of the rainbow. Flowing outlines of various flowers, curving around the base of shrubs, trees, and elaborate marble garden structures. A lovely white cobblestone path led up to the center of the greenhouse, where an elaborate white dolphin fountain proudly stood. Masumi sat on the ledge of the water fountain. He had his purple headphones on and his iPod was playing techno music. He was reading a chapter from his art textbook, which was resting upon his lap. So. Relaxing. It was nice to know that he had finally found his sanctuary, away from numerous 'LiTaka' shippers back at the academy cafeteria. Ekstasis's Mercury loved all types of flowers. He even had a formal garden at his house back in Seoul, Korea where his four older sisters were currently living.
"~Found you~," Chirped Otoya, pulling the headphones off Masumi's head, "Do you want to play a round of soccer?" We've got half an hour to spare before our next class."
Masumi sighed. He had no other choice. Damn that red-head and his '3000 mega watt smile.' Oh. Well. Studying art was immediately thrown out of the window.

Location: Heart & Spades café
Time: 10:21 AM
There was the 'doki-doki' sensation within Chi's bosom. The Aoi Vixen was slightly nervous. She was seated across from Natsuki, in one of the corner booths by the front window of the café. The two were in the middle of eating their sweets. Natsuki had ordered a strawberry parfait and Chi had ordered a lemon cheesecake. Deliciously. Sweet.
"This is for you," Chi said, sliding a small rectangular box across the table, "U-umm…- you can open it now. Only if you want too."
"But I didn't get anything for you," Natsuki pouted, once he saw a Piyo-chan keychain in the box, "Chi, that's totally not fair."
Chi slightly smiled, "Actually I have a reason for giving you the gift."
"Reason?" Natsuki questioned, "What sort of…-"
"Oh. Blast my nerves!" Chi exclaimed, startling a few people nearby, "Suki…- I'm smitten…- in l-love with you!"
"Eh?!" Exclaimed Natsuki. A shade of crimson dusted his cheeks, "L-love…- with me?!"
"Ok, I've said it," Chi fiddled nervously with her napkin, "Go ahead. Laugh. You probably think I'm a fool."
"You're not a fool!" Natsuki slightly shouted, "You are cute! I wouldn't have you any other way…- because…- I l-love you…- too."
Oh. Boy. Chi was totally beet red. Hooray. Another couple was born. Hmm…- this calls for a celebration.

Time: 11:30 AM
"Couples and young love," Ren sighed, before resting his back against a sakura tree, "Well…- romance is in the atmosphere. What a pity. I wish that I could be part of it."
Yoshi sat on a bench, a few feet away from the saxophonist, "You're not the only one who feels that way. My advice to you is to join the 'Lonely Hearts' club."
"Lonely Hearts club," Ren smiled, "I think I know what you're getting at."
"Great. Then you can join the club," Yoshio smirked, "After all…- you're still single. We'll have fun with the other males and complain about 'lovey-dovey' topics."
Ren sweat dropped, "No thanks…- I'm fine. I prefer to wander alone for now."
"Tch," Yoshio crossed his arms, slightly frowning, "That isn't fun at all."

Location: S.S.A; Fashion studio
Time: 12:05 PM
A shade of crimson dusted the pianist's cheeks, once the enchanting siren stepped out of one of the black change rooms. Oh. Wow. Her outfit showed a lot of skin. She wore a silverish-red bandeau top, black mini skirt, and a nice pair of crimson-red heels. Masato averted his eyes to her face, clearly not wanting to draw attention to her bosom. Oh. Boy. She didn't have a bra on. Damn. Temptation was right at his fingertips. Asami placed a hand upon her left hip, forming the peace sign with her right hand.
"Nanami chose the colors," Asami smiled, "What do you think?"
Masato frowned, "You're showing too much skin."
"Really?" Asami looked at her reflection in a nearby mirror, "I don't think so. This is the latest fashion for females. Besides this is for the CF tomorrow, so I'm required to wear this outfit throughout the whole filming."
Masato sighed. Thank. God. There was no one else in the studio to see Asami's outfit at the moment. Blast. It. Part of Masato wished that the CF would be cancelled. He didn't want most of the male population to see her this way. Asami blushed, once Masato wrapped his arms around her waist, before placing a light kiss upon her right shoulder. The enchanting siren noticed a possessive glint in the pianist's eyes.
"It's not fair," Murmured Masato, against Asami's nape, "You shouldn't be seen this way by other males."
Dear. God. Yoshi knocked on the open door of the fashion studio, only to receive a glare from Masato. Whoops. Asami rushed back to the change room, clearly embarrassed.
"I come in peace, so don't slaughter me," Yoshi sweat dropped, "Asami has a visitor waiting for her in the principals office.

Time: 12:10 PM
"Asami-cchi, you've transformed into a very sexy lady," Kise Ryota cheerfully smiled. The blond, medium, longhaired model was seat on a sofa, across from Haruka and Asami.
Asami smirked, "Nice try…- Ryo-chan. But I'm already taken."
"Hmm…- you must be referring to that poker-faced male who left recently," Kise glanced in Haruka's direction, "But what about the pretty lady beside you? Is she single?"
Damn. Flirt. Asami sighed. Kise's questions had Nanami blushing a shade of crimson. Oh. Dear. What a way to start a decent conversation.
Asami frowned, "None of your business. Anyways, what brings you here?!"
"So cruel to speak to me like that," Kise pouted, "I only want to invite your pretty manager and you to a party."
Nanami raised an eyebrow, "A party?"
"I know its last minute to notify you of the invitation," Kise handed a fancy black and gold invitation card to Asami. He smiled, reclining back in the sofa, "But I hope that you two can come. Other 'ZUNON Boy' models will be there too. Even other models from other agencies will be attending."
Asami sighed, "Well…- this might be a good thing," She handed the card to Nanami, "How does my schedule look? Am I free on the 22nd, Nanami?"
The 22nd? A Tuesday. Nanami checked her agenda. How lucky. Asami didn't have anything scheduled.
"Yes…- you're free on the day of the party," Nanami smiled, "Other events are scheduled to start this Friday."
Asami smiled back, "Lovely to know that I have an awesome manager."

Location: S.S.A; Cafeteria
Time: 4:00 PM
"Oh, you mean Kise Ryota," Masumi said, already seated beside Alexander. The two were seated across from Masato and Ren at one of the tables, by the entrance of the cafeteria, "I wouldn't really count him as a friend. But, I guess Asami knows him better than I do, since she did a couple of photo shoots with him a year ago."
"My, my. It sounds like you've got competition," Ren smirked teasingly at Masato, "Looks like you'll have to keep your guard up in the future."
"Don't worry…- Masato," Alexander gave thumbs up, "I'm rooting for you."
Masato sweat dropped. Was there a reason for him to be worried?! No. Way. After all, that pretty faced, blonde haired model was only a fellow model in the entertainment business.
EKSTASIS ~ EKSTASIS ~ EKSTASIS
Location: S.S.A; Asami and Chi's dorm suite
Time: 6:49 PM
Bath bubbles. The scent of roses mixed with sweet peas. Relaxing music emitting from a waterproof bathroom radio. The shower tub was filled with slightly hot water, including the fact that Asami and Chi were having a relaxing bath together. Chi was the only one who had her dark blue hair tied up into a bun. Asami sweat dropped, once Chi placed her hands upon her breasts. A few soapy bubbles popped from her action.
"Oooohh…~ they've grown a little," Chi smiled, "One day you'll be ready for the sexy lingerie's."
Asami blushed, before pushing Chi's hands off her bosom, "S-stop it! You're acting like a total…-"
"Creepy old man?" Chi smirked, crossing her arms, "I can't help it. After all, your naked figure is a lovely sight to behold. If I were Masa-chan, I'd totally ravish you on the kitchen counter."
"Dear. God. You're becoming sexually bold with your words," Asami sighed, "Have you been reading erotic online mangas again?!"
Chi sweat dropped, "Umm…- maybe a few."
"Oh my…- you're becoming a very naughty lady," Asami smirked, "I bet that you'll be fantasizing about Natsuki making hot steamy love to you."
Chi blushed, "S-so what if I do?! You have Masa-chan!"
"Well, you're right about him," Asami smiled, "At least I wouldn't let him 'ravish me on the kitchen counter,' since a place like that would be totally improper to have sex. I would 'do it' properly in the bedroom."

Location: S.S.A; Masato & Ren's dorm suite
Time: 7:00 PM
The saxophonist looked up from the fashion magazine that he was reading. Whoa. What a way to be interrupted. The pianist had sneezed three times in a row.
"Oh. Dear. How awful," Ren smiled, clearly amused, "Are you catching a cold?"
"No need for concern," Masato placed his teacup on the coffee table, before taking a seat on the sofa across from Ren, who was seated in the recliner, "I'm perfectly fine."
"What a pity," Ren flipped a page of the magazine, "I was hoping that you would come down with the flu. Then I could take your place in the 'CRIMSON – Kiss' CF."
Masato sighed, "Jinguji…-"
"What is it?" Ren smirked, "Are you willing to start another fight?"
"Drop dead!" Masato snapped, before heading off to his room, slamming the door shut.
Ren winced, "Ouch…- such harsh words. Oh well. He'll get over it."
