Chapter 57
Hitomi sunk into the hot water, letting out a sigh as she did so, and rested her back against the edge. "Aah! That's exactly what I was talking about."
She drew one of her hands through the foamy water and looked at the other girl opposite of her. Leifang had her elbows on the edge and was submerged enough that Hitomi couldn't see anything under her collarbone.
There really was nothing better than taking a relaxing bath after a nap and a nice dinner. And now that they were in the jacuzzi she just noticed how big it really was. Even with their legs stretched out it was way more than enough room for the both of them.
"Yeah indeed." Leifang said and lifted one of her legs out of the water to cross it over her other one, smiling coyly as she noticed the way Hitomi was eyeing it. With a flick she splashed some water towards the German.
Hitomi let out a laugh and shielded her eyes with her left hand, but made a grab for the Chinese's foot with her right.
"Ah! Hey let go!" Leifang ordered her and tried to wrestle free. The German tsk'd her and, with a grin, guided her left hand towards it.
"No. No no no. Hitomi don't you dare!" but of course Hitomi didn't listen and the next sounds coming out of Leifang were the ones caused by her laughter.
"Let-Goddamn it-Let me go!" Leifang said in between laughter and used her hand to splash more water towards Hitomi until she finally let go. Taking a deep breath to calm herself she said. "That was unfair."
Hitomi simply stuck out her tongue at that. "All's fair in love and war. And this was both."
"Hmpf. Whatever." Leifang puffed her cheeks in annoyance and crossed her arms in front of herself.
"Aww come on. Don't be mad," Hitomi said. "I was only making fun and you know that. Besides you started it."
But Leifang only looked away from her. With a sigh Hitomi gently leaned forward and touched her arm, ignoring Leifang's attempt to shake it off and pulled the Chinese towards her despite her reluctance. "Come on now. Let's not fight here."
She managed to pull her onto her lap and circled her waist with her arms, placing a few kisses on her wet shoulders. Kissing her way up to her neck she let the other girl grab her face and captured her lips in a hungry kiss.
Their tongues circled gently around one another and the Chinese slowly slid back into the water so that both of them were on the same eye-level.
Remaining that way for a few minutes they eventually had to break the kiss and smiled at each other. "You're right. We shouldn't be mad at each other." Leifang admitted and Hitomi pulled her into another short kiss.
The older girl moved a little to better snuggle up to Hitomi and absentmindedly drew a few circles through the water. They remained that way for a while until Leifang broke the silence. "I wonder what I should wear later."
"Doesn't matter. My girl looks good in anything." Hitomi said.
"There you go again with 'My girl'. Is that gonna be some kind of pet-name from now on?"
"I could call you 'sweet Panda' if that's more to your liking." Hitomi joked. "And no it's not gonna be a pet-name, I just like saying it."
"Thank god." Leifang chuckled and let out a sigh as Hitomi gently stroked her arm. "You do realize that it does sound a little possessive though."
"A problem with that?" she said flirtingly.
"That depends."
"On what?"
Leifang lifted her head and tapped her index-finger against the German's chin. "If you show me a good time tonight I might just let you keep saying it."
"If it's a good time you want we can just stay here, you know." Hitomi said and earned herself a playful punch. "Just saying. But alright, where do you wanna go anyway?"
"Doesn't matter. As long as we're gonna have fun." Leifang said.
"I suppose there are a few clubs around here." Hitomi looked at the ceiling in thought. "Well we can always ask someone."
"Or quickly check it over the Net." Leifang provided.
"That too." Hitomi nodded. "But before that let's just enjoy the bath for now."
"Mhm." Leifang placed her head on Hitomi's shoulder and closed her eyes. "I can agree to that."
Hitomi stood in front of the bed, dressed only in her undies, and eyed the few clothes that she had brought over the weekend. Funnily enough she had a much harder time choosing what she should wear than Leifang, who had already picked her clothes and was currently in the bath to apply some make-up.
What to wear? She wondered. After another minute of just standing there she grabbed that short black leather skirt and put it on, silently wondering why she brought this thing with her.
She also had the matching top.
A sudden deja vu overcame her to the last time the two of them went into a club. She had worn the same clothes back then.
This time though, she thought while she zipped her top up. It's going to end differently. The German ran her hand through her hair that had just dried and looked around for her hairband. Then an idea came to mind and she walked over to Leifang's clothes, specifically her accessories. Rummaging around she quickly found what she looked for, took the hair-tie and pulled her hair into a ponytail.
Taking the small pocket mirror she checked herself and brushed her fingers through her bangs to straighten them, then walked back to her own stuff and put on some lip-gloss.
Another last once over and Hitomi nodded to herself in the mirror. "Looking good, Hitomi." she told herself and placed the mirror back from where she took it.
As if on cue the bathroom door opened and Leifang walked out. She was already dressed in her evening clothes, a nice little black dress that hugged her body rather nicely, in Hitomi's opinion anyway. She had put on more make-up than Hitomi of course, lipstick, eyeshadow and all, and her hair was done in its usual elaborate hairstyle. That explained why she took so long.
"You did your hair?" Leifang asked as she spotted what the German had done with her hair.
"I wouldn't call it that, I only pulled it up into a ponytail. Used one of your hair-ties if that's alright."
"Sure. But really, I told you back in Hong Kong that look suits you. You should wear your hair like that more often."
Hitomi looked away, a bit embarrassed. "Really?"
"Really really." Leifang assured her and gave her another once over. "If I don't watch out someone might go and steal you from me."
"I could say the same, you know." Hitomi said and they shared a laugh.
"So as for where we go..." Hitomi trailed off. Leifang pulled out her smart-phone and checked the internet for any info if there clubs nearby, but found none.
"Hmm." Leifang muttered and Hitomi looked over her shoulder.
"Well I guess it was pretty obvious." Hitomi said when she checked the options. "The city is known for the Reeperbahn after all."
She looked at Leifang. "Are you sure though? It can be a pretty rough neighborhood from what I heard and it IS a red-light district."
Leifang shrugged. "We'll be fine."
"Oh definitely. But you're gonna excuse me if I'm not gonna go all out drinking alcohol tonight. Last time I did that I was charged with assault." Hitomi said. "And you know...the kidney."
They didn't like talking about that time.
"I didn't want to drink much either. I don't need to be plastered to have a good time after all." Leifang winked and looped her arm through Hitomi's. "So let's go."
They headed out of the Hotel, hailed a cab and told the driver where he should drive them. Over the ride they held some small talk with the driver, casually asking him if he could suggest them a club with the huge selection they had.
Funnily enough the one he named them was called Club Hamburg. He said it was a rather popular club that didn't aim at a certain crowd and that 'ladies like them' would fit right in.
The driver drove them through the streets and as they looked out of the window they got a glimpse of the most sinful mile in all of Germany. With all its clubs and bars of various kinds and the young people walking through the street looking for a good time or already having had way too much of a good time. And that was only the surface. Hitomi knew that behind the walls there was a much more shadier side to things and she was sure she saw a hooker out of the corner of her eye promoting the brothel she works in.
But she didn't want to think about that too much. Right now she wanted to have fun with her girlfriend.
They paid the driver, giving him a little tip for driving them directly to the club he talked about, and entered the club, not being paid any heed by the bouncers outside other than a glance or two. The German had to shield her eyes for a moment due to the light show that awaited them inside and the loud music that could be heard even from outside.
The club was lit in a purple, almost pinkish color and in the center of it was a bar with neon lights that glowed a bright white. Various dance floors were scattered throughout the first and second floor and in the corners there were cubicles to sit in, while some tables where you could stand at offered a few people a place near the dance floors to put their drinks.
And of course it was packed with people, dancing, drinking and generally having a great time. The couple passed a few people and Leifang had to giggle when they spotted another couple making out and Hitomi gave her a suggestive look.
The song changed and the Chinese grabbed Hitomi by her hand, pulling her towards the dance floor closest to them. They walked amidst the other dancers and started to move to the music. Of the two of them Leifang was clearly the better dancer, though it didn't bother Hitomi very much to admit as such since she very much enjoyed the view of the Chinese in front of her, watching as beads of sweat started to grow on her forehead from all the heat around them. Absentmindedly she followed one as it ran down the side of Leifang's face, down her neck and was about to vanish in between her cleavage when her girlfriend turned around and gave her a playful wink over her shoulder.
The German immediately closed the gap between the two of them, pressing herself against Leifang's back and circling her arm around her waist.
No one gave the two pretty women a second glance for dancing so close together, swaying their hips way more sensually to the music. Feeling the other girl's chest press into her back Leifang threw her head back, resting the back of it on Hitomi's right shoulder and exposing her neck.
They danced that way until the song came to a close. And then did the same with the next song, and the song after that, not noticing how the time passed.
"Here you go." Hitomi slid into the cubicle where Leifang was sitting and slid the drink that she had wanted towards her, then took a sip off her own. "Can you believe that I just had to pay up four bucks for a coke? Bad economical situation my ass."
"Thanks." Leifang smiled gratefully and took the glass. "So what do you think?"
"About this place?" Leifang nodded. "Well aside from the prices I think it's pretty cool."
Hitomi looked around and rested her eyes on a pretty cute guy, deciding to be a little teasing. "Has some nice views."
Leifang cocked an eyebrow and said in a deadpan voice. "Is that so."
The Karateka turned to look at her girlfriend. "Not as nice as the one I'm looking at right now though."
"Nice save." Leifang chuckled.
"You know you always got my attention, sweetie." Hitomi said.
"'Sweetie'?"
"Mhm." she took another sip from her cola. "My new pet-name for you. Assuming you have a good time with me."
"Hmm...well I'm not bored." The Chinese folded her hand together and leaned forward. "So I'm willing to let you try to convince me."
"How's that for convincing you then?" Hitomi asked and pulled her close, capturing her lips in a hungry kiss.
"It's a start." Leifang said with half-closed, clouded eyes and ran a finger along Hitomi's arm, making her shiver in excitement. "How about we finish our drinks, hail us a cab, get back to the hotel and you can try to convince me for real?"
Hitomi had never finished a drink more quickly.
In the next Dead or Alive I'd like to see them include the Reeperbahn. Wouldn't that be rad? No? Fine.
Ah I love Hitomi with her hair in a ponytail. I think I'm gonna make this her default hairstyle from now on. :)
Nothing else to report, so I'll see you all next week.
