Chapter 80

"You know," Hitomi said and brushed a stray lock of Leifang's hair behind her ear before putting an arm around her shoulders. "We can still exchange those tickets for a weekend in Paris."

Leifang laughed softly. "That sounds wonderful, but I'm alright. Just thinking of what I should say to him. Part of me wants to give him a sound trashing, you know what I mean?"

"More than you realize." Both were sitting in the airport terminal waiting until they were allowed to board their flight, a pair of two small briefcases standing by their feet. Since they were only there for a few days they didn't need a lot of spare clothes and only a few toiletries. "If you want I can give you a few pointers, seeing as I already went toe to toe with him."

Chuckling, Leifang looked her into the eyes. "I trained with him when I was a little girl and you fought with him when he was out of shape. I think I can handle him without your help." she patted her leg. "But thanks anyway."

They fell into a comfortable silence, waiting until the announcement of their flight came.

"Well" Leifang said and got onto her feet, taking her briefcase in hand and shrugged with a small smile. "Let's go then."

"Yeah." Hitomi said, picked up her own luggage and walked side by side with Leifang towards their gateway.

Roughly twelve hours of flight later Leifang and Hitomi arrived at the Hong Kong International Airport and the couple found themselves currently in line for checkout.

"God I completely forgot how busy this place is over the last year." Leifang muttered to herself and Hitomi got onto her tiptoes to see how many people were still before them. Worst part was that it was just a weekend and not even the holiday season. The German got to experience first hand how busy this place could get. And this place had over 288 Check-ins and 80 customs offices!

With a sigh she took hold of Leifang's hand and gave it a small squeeze while massaging her temple with the other one to ease the headache she was having. "Don't worry, the line is moving so that's something."

"Jeez, what a crumb of comfort."

Hitomi decided to change the topic. "You know, I completely forgot to ask you but where are we going to stay?"

"Believe it or not, but the penthouse my father bought me to live in is still there. Mother says he didn't consider selling it off. Even the lock is still the same." Leifang told her.

Really now? Hitomi cocked her head to the side. She didn't expect that to be honest, but at the same time it made her feel confident that all this would turn out alright in the end if Jintao didn't start with the obvious choice of selling off the very expensive penthouse his daughter lived in.

"That's good I suppose."

"Mhm, I guess."

Hitomi frowned for a second and wanted to ask what she meant with that, but stopped herself from doing so when Leifang's face lit up as the line in front of them started to move much more quicker.

"Took long enough." she said and Hitomi made a mental note to bring up this topic later.

Still even though things went faster now they still took thirty more minutes until they were outside and got into a cab. Hitomi watched as Leifang gave the driver the instructions in Mandarin and leaned back into the seat. It wasn't exactly comfortable but after twelve hours of flight she took what she got and closed her eyes a little, but the mutter of the motor as well as the slightly bumpy road that lead to the mainland didn't help her head one bit and Hitomi was finding herself hoping that they would arrive soon.

After a whole thirty minutes her hopes were fulfilled and they got out of the cab. Hitomi looked up to where she knew Leifang's former penthouse was while the Chinese paid the driver and she lost herself in the memories from the last time she was here. A smile crept onto her face. It all had started here.

"Hitomi?" Leifang called out to her, shaking her out of her revery.

"Sorry, kinda spaced out." she said. They walked into the building and into the elevator, riding it up and from there entered the penthouse. As they stepped in Hitomi immediately noticed that the place was completely tidy, not a single bit of dust anywhere and it was well ventilated.

"Well looks like mother wasn't kidding." Leifang said as they walked in further and sat down on the couch, looking out of the huge window and taking in the spectacular view. The sun was starting to set. With a sigh Leifang pulled off her high-heels. "Still the same old place."

"Yeah." Hitomi nodded and looked around for a bit before placing her index-finger against her temple. "Um, say you think you got something for my headache here?"

"Uh yeah I think so, wait just let me look in the cupboards." Leifang got off the couch once more and headed into the kitchen. "Could you take our luggage into bedroom?"

"Sure." The young Karateka said, took both their briefcases, headed up the small set of stairs and opened the door to Leifang's bedroom with her elbow. Inside she placed both on the Chinese's spacious bed, noting that the bedclothes were fresh too. "Hmm." she mumbled and sat down on the bed. The last time she was here she had obviously not slept in this bed, but now that they were a couple she wanted to make sure that the mattress was to her liking. She moved a little bit before lying down and closing her eyes.

Holy crap Hitomi thought as she ran her hands across the silken sheets and wondered how Leifang could actually stand sleeping in their bed back home. This was awesome, like she was lying on a cloud. She wondered...

Biting her lower lip she thought about how the other nightly activities would be in this bed, but before she could expand on that fantasy she heard the footsteps of her girlfriend just before she entered the room. Hitomi opened her eyes and sat back up.

"Tired?" Leifang asked and handed her two pills and a glass of water.

"No, but I figured since I'll be sleeping in here I'd better check out the mattress." Hitomi explained, swallowed the pills and downed them with the water, then handed the glass back to Leifang who placed it on the nightstand. "Thanks."

"And? To your liking?" Leifang sat down beside her.

"Very much so." Hitomi clapped her hands together. "So what now?"

"Hmm I was thinking we should unpack our things. But then..."

Hitomi had an idea. "Well I don't know about you, but I could kill for a bath right now. And after that, if my headache is gone, maybe we could go eat something." She leaned forward and placed a kiss against Leifang's temple. "How does that sound?"

"Mhm, sounds like a plan." then Leifang gave her a knowing look. "And I'm guessing that little date is supposed to be continued here?" she patted the covers.

"Maybe." Hitomi grinned, but dropped it after only a moment. "That is if you want and you're not...you know about tomorrow."

"Love?"

"Yeah?"

"I told you I'm not nervous about tomorrow. I'm actually surprised myself." she placed her hand on top of Hitomi's. "So don't you worry about me. As for your suggestion..." she winked. "We'll see."

"Alright. We'll see if you're that confident tomorrow." Hitomi stuck out her tongue playfully.

"Then I can still say that today was a nice distraction." Leifang got back to her feet and started to walk out of her bedroom. "Now I for one am gonna take that bath you suggested."

Hitomi looked at both their briefcases before getting up to follow Leifang. They could always unpack later.

A few hours later the young couple was sitting in a restaurant that Leifang had liked when she still lived here and didn't get to show Hitomi the last time she was here. It had good food and wasn't too expensive and even though her mother had said that she would take care of all their expenses she didn't feel that it would be right to waste a lot of money.

"This place is great." Hitomi said while they waited for their food to arrive. "Did you come here often?"

"Not that often. But the few times I came here I was really surprised." she shrugged. "Back then I was more of an 'it costs more then it must be better' mindset. Looking back now..." she shook her head. "You know if there's one thing I learned since the last time I was here it's that all this money that I had at my disposal made me rather naive in a lot of ways."

She frowned a little. "Also when we were in the penthouse I realized that while it was such a big and nice place it was also very lonely. It lacked the warmth that I'm always experiencing with you. I'm not sad that I left it."

"Still, good that it's there." Hitomi said and interlaced their fingers. "That way we can fill it with warmth too."

Leifang giggled. "I guess you're right."

"And Leifang, no matter what happens tomorrow, if you make up with your father or not, I love you and I'll always be with you."

The Chinese bit her lip and felt a tug at her heart. As always Hitomi just knew what she had to say at the exact right moment. Or maybe the younger girl was just incredibly sappy and it was pure coincidence, but no matter it still made her feel very loved right now. "I love you too."

"I hope so, otherwise this would be a very one-sided thing, ya know?." Hitomi joked and they both laughed.

Their food soon arrived and they switched topics to more trivial things, thrown in with the occasional flirting and teasing, mostly done by Leifang in form of her pulling that same stunt that she had done in Hamburg, running her foot up and down Hitomi's leg.

Time passed and soon they headed back to the penthouse. On the way back the German couldn't resist and started to run her hand along Leifang's thigh while sitting in the back of the taxi.

"Stop that. The driver's gonna see us." Leifang half giggled half whispered as the younger girl started to nibble on her earlobe and tried to make her keep her hand to herself, though her protest was rather weak. "Wait until we're back."

"I don't wanna." Hitomi murmured softly as her hand inched closer to the hem of Leifang's short dress. "He can get a little show, maybe then the ride will be free of charge."

With a resounding slap Leifang brought her hand down upon Hitomi's, making her pull it back.

"Quit it." Leifang hissed. "It's only a few more minutes till we're there."

"Fine." Hitomi pouted and sat back, crossing her arms in front of her chest, but the twinkle in her eyes was all that Leifang needed to be sure that she wasn't really mad.

After arriving she paid the taxi driver, who gave her a funny look but didn't say anything and before Leifang could retort to it she was all but dragged inside the building and towards the elevator. They entered and as soon as the door closed Hitomi pushed the Chinese to the wall, covering her lips with her own in a deep kiss while blindly pressing the button of the floor they wanted to exit. Leifang closed her eyes and moaned into the kiss as their tongues touched, making her return the kiss more hungrily. Her fingers dug deep into the back of the younger girl's head as she was lifted off the ground, throwing her legs around the Karateka. Hitomi wasted no time and pressed her pelvis against the older girl's.

Leifang tore her lips away from Hitomi's, who instantly attacked her neck with kisses and small bites. "Watch it, I don't think a hickey will help me tomorrow."

"Wear a turtleneck." was all Hitomi said.

"No I won't." Leifang breathed and guided Hitomi's face back to her lips. "Come here."

The sound of the elevator coming to a halt and the opening of the door made Hitomi drop her girlfriend back to the floor, but their lips were still connected for the whole way into the penthouse. Inside Leifang once more broke their kiss to gather some air as well as to start unbuttoning the sky blue blouse the brunette was wearing while simultaneously kicking off her high-heels.

After the blouse dropped to the floor Hitomi eagerly pulled her back into another kiss, her hands roaming over Leifang's backside, giving it a firm squeeze and eliciting a giggle from her. Parting their lips once more she made Leifang lift her arms above her head so that she could pull of the dress that was getting too much in the way for her liking and dropped it unceremoniously.

Leifang's hands went to the hem of the jeans Hitomi was wearing and she leaned in for another kiss when she spotted the glint in the Chinese's eyes and was suddenly pushed back, landing directly on the sofa. She stared at Leifang in surprise, who was laughing and started to dash off towards the bedroom, skipping up the stairs and winking at her from over her shoulder while unclasping her bra, slipping it from her body before entering it. The younger girl got back to her feet, growling to herself and took off her shoes, then struggled to get out of her pants, stumbling to the floor as she did so. After finally ridding herself of them she headed after Leifang.

Inside Leifang was lying on the bed, smiling teasingly and beckoning her over. Discarding her own bra she got into bed and crawled forwards into the Chinese's awaiting arms, pressing her face into her chest. Pleasant sighs passed Leifang's lips as she planted kisses all over her breasts, then moved upward to her neck until they were face to face once more.

But before their lips met Hitomi pulled away from Leifang, earning herself a puzzled look as she sat up on her knees and took hold of the other girl's hand, pulling her forward and turning her around so that her back was pressed against Hitomi's chest.

She released a small moan as her girlfriend's hands started to caress her front while the German's breasts burned hotly against her skin, making her want nothing more than to turn around and taste her pink colored nipples. It always gave her a thrill knowing that she was the only one allowed to do so.

Hitomi breathed hotly against her ear and started to plant kisses onto the back of her neck, traveling further down with every kiss and pulling her hands back to push Leifang onto her hands and knees. She darted out her tongue as she traveled down her back, making the Chinese throw her head back, exhaling sharply as Hitomi added her fingernails to the whole experience, drawing them across her skin on their way down.

The young Karateka stopped only once she reached the other girl's still panty-clad bottom. And since that couldn't very well do she hooked her fingers under her last piece of garment, already moist with desire, and pulled them down slowly, planting a small kiss on one of her cheeks.

"Kissing my butt now?" Leifang giggled and moved her legs a little to help the younger girl to remove her panties. "I think I like that, do it more oft-ah!" she was cut off when Hitomi spanked her once. Turning to her head she gave Hitomi, who herself was grinning deviously, or as deviously as Hitomi could.

"Why you-" Hitomi spanked her again.

"Will you stop-" and again. She slapped her lightly enough to not hurt, actually it felt a little good, but she made a mental note of one day paying Hitomi back for this one. Somehow she thought.

But her thoughts were quickly distracted by Hitomi moving her lips to the aching core between her legs, giving it the attention it was begging for. Heat was coursing through her body and she moved her hips closer to Hitomi's face, wanting, needing more to quench the thirsting ache.

Her unspoken plea was fulfilled as Hitomi's hot tongue darted out once more and brushed the tip gently against the small bundle of nerves, sending her mind on a roller coaster of bliss.

"Yes!" Leifang moaned out.

Upon hearing those sweet moans she was earning Hitomi's lips turned upward into a smile and she leaned in more to pleasure her girlfriend even further, every sound she elicited and every taste that she took fueling her own desire, her left hand guiding itself between her legs. A single brush of her fingers made her moan a little, making Leifang shudder in delight, and the proof of her own arousal was running down the inside of her legs. Deeply inhaling Leifang's scent she pushed her fingers past her folds and started to pleasure herself, moaning out "Leifang." all the while.

It wasn't long before Leifang's body tensed up in release before slumping down on the mattress. With a few strokes of her fingers Hitomi joined her over the edge, biting her lower lip. As she was lying there she watched Leifang as she was enjoying the afterglow of her orgasm, caressing her behind lovingly as she did so, until the Chinese turned around, eyes still burning with desire.

In a blink of an eye Hitomi found herself on her back, Leifang pressing her body very close against her. "Your turn." Leifang said, her hand already on its way down.

Hitomi's only response was to pull her into another hungry kiss.

Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me? It's all Hitomi's fault I tell you!
Sad to say we're heading towards the end here, only two more chapter (plus an epilogue) to go guys and girls.

Well see you next week. :)
