Author's Note: Dear Guest. Once again thank you for your time to read my story. You are very kind. Greetings. :)
4.-Two for the price of one.
When she awoke it was nearly 8:00 a.m. With an Olympian headache, adjusted her eyes to the morning light, looked around and looked down at herself. She was completely naked on the bed in a hotel room, a room that was not hers.
Kaori began to remember the celebration with the Italian racer, and after much drinking...
- Oh no! No... I could not do that... - She was scared, until she saw on the night table; there was her watch, which she said were 8:15 minutes plus a small note, it puts a simple: "Forgive me."
Kaori had shattered soul, got up from the bed and went to shower in that room, while she was under the water, trying to remember last night, what was written on the note, and Francesco has left her saying nothing more. But why should she care? What's done is done, and it was not worth looking back. But, she did not understand what it was that she hurts too much inside herself...
Maybe because it was the first time she slept with a passenger in the hotel, first and last, she said to herself, perhaps because her pride was wounded and fell like a fool like several girls in the clutches of the Italian puppet, now he would be laughing about it.
There were so many things that Kaori thought as she showered. When she finished she took her stuff, and returned to her room in the lower floors, which were hotel employees, luckily her grandfather was still sleeping. She changed her clothes to her work uniform, threw everything she had worn the night before to the trash, was a shame because Kaori loved that black dress and it cost a lot of money, and then went to the kitchen, to await instructions from her boss, to begin work, but above all, she took an aspirin for that horrible headache.
It was three weeks after that night, all in Towkyo and Kaori life well spent.
Although not sure why constantly watched sports news, each time Francesco appeared on it, she could not avoid being in front of the TV, she did not know if it was to keep up with him for wanting revenge. Actually the redhead had no idea what was happening.
Her boss a Sunday afternoon, ordered to her to prepare the room 33 for a new passenger. For weeks no one used that room. Every time she went out there was something in her body and looking forward to mourn. There were still too many feelings and resentments.
A couple of days later, she received her vacation, and went to buy a ticket at the train station to return to Osaka, while waiting in the station cafe, sipping a cappuccino, someone approached her. A little cute woman of curious pink hair and big brown eyes.
Her name: Chuki, long ago that they did not look at each other, Kaori and she were friends since high school, but no longer were encounters not like before, because she had her own affairs, work and family. Chuki brought her baby son in a stroller; the child had no more than two months.
-Hello, Kaori... good to see you again, as always you drinking Cappuccino No? - She smiled, sat in front of the redhead and parked the baby stroller beside her.
- Chuki! What a surprise. What are you doing here? - Leaves her cappuccino and looks at the baby, that makes her shudder. - Awww, so he is Garou. Ow, Chuki, he's beautiful, congratulations, he looks like Shu, hehe. - Caresses the baby's hand, he was asleep.
-Thank you, and yes, everyone says the same, I think Garou took not a feature of me, that's not fair, I put a lot of effort to make this child. Even I think more than Shu.
Kaori looks amazed. How could Chuki speaks of such things out loud? Plus the people in that country were very reserved with such issues, more daylight. Although Chuki not looked, but the pink-haired was very bold, and was a reporter and Idol. (Idol in Japan is like a pop singer) What more bold with these two jobs? She almost did not mince words.
-Chuki, nothing happens, at least he has your nose, haha. - She encouraged her friend in a way.
-Yes... Well, I came for Shu, he comes from Osaka, was to leave a few things to relatives of Mach, he always offers to do favors. After ending the WGP is much more attached to everyday things.
Oh yes... the WGP... - Kaori said that phrase with less enthusiasm, and looked away, making silence.
- What is it? Do not you like car racing? - Chuki looked at her curiously.
-It's Nothing, no, not that. Is just... There was an event, with someone from WGP. - She suddenly blushes. -But no, really it's nothing. - Go back to drink a little of her Cappuccino.
Wait, tell me... You have a secret with someone of the WGP, as you blushing; I'd think you slept with any of the racers. But it is impossible because... -
-Chuki, please stop. I'll tell you it in another time. – The redhead asked to her friend to stop talking about, she was a little annoyed and embarrassed than before framing the word "Enough". She looked at both sides, luckily no one around was paying attention.
-Kaori. - The pink haired, approached her to keep it down. - Did you sleep with any of the competitors? Who was it? Tell me, or I'll ruling... from now: Do not you like girls so Carla Veloso is out, Shu did not cheat me with another woman, so he is also out, McQueen was not this time, Jeff, Max, Raoul, Lewis, Michael, Nigel, all are married to very beautiful women and have children with them, I do not think they could be. Then, only two... Rip and Francesco. Which of them was?
Kaori swallowed, and then said.
-Well, I'll tell you in this way... I never met Rip Cluchtgoneski ... - Semi smiled feeling very silly.
Chuki was shocked, stood with her mouth open and almost gives a little cry, but she controlled herself.
-I swear, if this were an interview, you'd be on the cover of the magazine in a scandal my friend, especially in Italy, but ... I am not surprised by it, because he has a reputation as a womanizer. Though I confess, Francesco, in a conversation we had only said that in his life only has slept with 5 or 6 women at most. Among actresses and models, the rest is just screen, not sleep with all he see. Rejoice, you're the first "commoner" on his list.
When Chuki finished telling that, Kaori had an eyebrow raised; why did she know that? I was not even interested in the Italian guy.
-Chuki... Why do you say that to me? I'm not in love with him or anything, it just was... something that happened, nothing else, and we were two days, not enough for me to fall in love with a person. But I tell you that if something bothers me about all this is that I fell like a fool and he will forget me soon, if not already done. Furthermore... –
She did not speak again, her voice was becoming confused, honestly she did not know what to think or what to feel about it, had spent days and it should not even matter least. Although Kaori clearly had a rule, that when she sleeps with someone, it was with love as before with her ex-boyfriend, but this time, her rule was broken and her mind atrophied over the issue. She felt alone, but not dying to find someone just to satisfy her needs... she was not like that.
Just at that moment, the feeling of wanting to throw up her breakfast, appeared.
- Are you okay? You look a little pale... - Noticed Chuki, cutting Kaori's thoughts.
- Do you smell that? It's disgusting... - Tearing a little and looked over at another table, where a man was eating rice with fried calamari. It was strange, the redhead never felt bad smell that sort of thing, but now it was so strangely intense.
-No, just smell normal. - Chuki sniffed the air. - Why?
-I do not know... – Kaori sighed, the bad feeling was gone suddenly. While on a speaker announced the departure of the train to Osaka for any of the platforms, would come in 10 minutes.
- Ah! That's my train. - Took her stuff to get on the train, custom made by all in order on the table, and said goodbye to Chuki. -See you at another time, thank you very much for stay with me a moment. Take care of your son, blessings to him.
-Of course, you do very well. - Chuki smiled at her friend, and said goodbye, then looked at the stroller to see that Garou still asleep. -I think the train that your dad is, come late... Well, keep waiting. - She poked softly the little nose of Garou with her index finger and he made a noise typical of a baby, those sounds that make you shudder.
Kaori boarded the train in time, when it left, she felt the need to go to the toilet, for that had to cross to another wagon, went there, grabbed her long hair with both hands and immediately knelt in front of the toilet to vomit.
When she done, pressed the button on the device for it all go, her eyes were watery, kept closed while she was down.
-Ugh, yuck... I think not drink cappuccino in a while. It causes me heartburn. –
She washed her mouth and hands before leaving there, goes to her place for her toothbrush, to get there, took out her briefcase hygienic items, taking the brush and toothpaste tube, turned around to return to car of the toilet. She just smelled the food trolley, which was pushed by a seller. The redhead ran to shut again in one of the stalls and returned to the same steps of moments ago in front of the toilet, throwing up to the bile.
It cannot be ... - She shook so much force, now her stomach hurts. - How strange, I do not think it's the coffee; maybe the train is going too fast. But… how? Before, I never feel dizzy in any transportation.
She returned to her seat fifteen minutes later, and tried to sleep a bit before arriving, there was not much time from Towkyo to Osaka, but she felt the need of a nap.
Train Arrival in Osaka at noon, there were a few bumps in the road, but it wasn't a great loss. When everyone was down from the train, Jin was waiting for Kaori to take her home.
- Grandpa! - She got off the train, ran and hugged him. -What a pleasure to see you... I'm glad to be here in home. -
-Welcome, my child. - He returned the hug and smiled, although she at incorporated well, he watched her, noticing her quite pale, more than normal. - Are you okay? You look sick.
-It's nothing, Grandpa, I think that caffeine made me sick to the stomach, and I have not eaten anything since I had my breakfast in Towkyo, but don't worry, I'll be fine. – Smiled to him, but not very lively, feeling weak have nothing in the belly.
-All right, then let's get something to eat. What would you like? - Offered.
-The truth... now... I... – Kaori could not gesticulate word. Interestingly, looked over the old man's shoulder, everything around started to spin, the sound was distorted to her ears; her eyelids were getting heavier and suddenly…. she fainted. The last thing the redhead heard was her grandfather calling her, scared.
She opened her eyes suddenly, she had a strange dream, in the dream she saw a mature man with red hair and blue eyes, with was a beautiful woman with brown hair and green eyes, both seemed to have the same age, they were very happy and congratulated Kaori for some reason.
- What? ... What happened? - Asked very confused and realized she was lying in a hospital bed. She sat up suddenly, but that made her dizzy and her head fell back on the pillow.
-Do not get up so... - It was the voice of her grandfather, worried and scolding her. -You suffered a faint at the train station and I brought you to the hospital, I told you that you looked bad... Why are you so stubborn when it comes to you?
- Fainting? - Asked, Kaori had no idea why, it was rare that happen to her.
When a doctor came with a nurse, they brought with them an ultrasound machine.
-Good afternoon, miss Ikegami, good thing you're awake, I perfectly calculated the time, apparently. – Smiled, the Doctor was a small man of middle age and dark hair. - How do you feel now?
-Good afternoon sir... well... I, honestly, do not know... I guess I'm good ... I do not even know what happened. - She shrugged watching the doctor did not really know what they would do with her. Kaori noted the machine and got curious. - What is that? - Asked about the apparatus.
-An ultrasound machine, if I am not mistaken in my diagnosis, I could be happy, I just want to check the truth with this machine. - He smiled.
-Diagnostics... Sounds like I'm going to die.- She laughed a little nervous. - Not bad, right? - Kaori became serious and looked at the doctor with her big brown eyes frightened.
-Haha, you tell me... - The doctor came and lifted her hospital robe, to leave her belly in sight, the nurse handed him a tube of gel, and pressed it, for the liquid to fall on her.
Kaori laughed, mostly from nerves. - Hehe, it's cold. B... but, this device is, to see pregnant women right? Doctor must be a mistake, because I did not... - Watched as the doctor passed the transducer probe on her stomach, which seemed a telephone. He smiled as he watched the screen, he was not wrong.
-You're pregnant. - Said the man.
- WHAT?!PREGNANT! NO, no, it not possib... - She opened her eyes very surprised and almost jumps out of bed at that. Kaori looked at the monitor. - b... but, I wonder why the image looks like that? - She saw more than a little thing on ultrasound.
-Because they are two... they are twins. - Added the doctor, without hesitation. -Congratulations. -
- T... t... Twins? My God! I think I'll faint again. - Again she puts her head on the pillow, with her hand on her forehead, the news came as direct as if she had been fighting against a heavyweight boxer, and she lost the round.
