Hey guys! Special thanks to ISana55, LoveInTheBattleField, and everyone else who reviewed the last chapter. Your comments are always appreciated.

Even though Ever After is mainly about the trials and tribulations of Darien and Serena's relationship, it also focuses on the lives of their friends so every chapter will not focus on Serena and Darien. This story is realistic so the characters go through real life problems. In the real world, people are not the same person they were when they were younger. We grow up. We change. We make mistakes. We do things we are not proud of. We get married. Become parents. Some marriages last while others fall apart. People cheat. People lie. People hurt you. We fall in love. We fall out of love. We get our hearts broken. We put ourselves back together. One moment, everything is perfect. The next minute, everything is a mess. We are constantly adapting. Life constantly changes. Life changes you and if you don't adapt, life passes you by.

Later on the story may become more supernatural. However, I want to develop the characters' storylines first before I get to that point. Here's the next chapter.

Chapter Six: Mummy Dearest

It was ten minutes after eight in the evening. Mina groaned in agony as she stood outside of her mother's maroon brick Georgian home in Surrey. Her long blonde hair hung down her back as she wore her little black square neckline, A-line dress that fell a few inches below her knees with black pumps. Mina let out a puff of air. She hated visiting her mother. She tried to avoid her at all costs. She would not have been there tonight if it wasn't for her stupid boyfriend Jason.

While Mina was in the shower, she left her phone on the nightstand by her bed. Jason dressed in a grey t-shirt and black jogging pants sat on the bed eating a bag of popcorn. He was watching an action movie starring his favorite actor Liam Neeson. Her phone started vibrating on the table. Jason cut his eyes to the phone that sat on a nightstand by the other side of the bed where Mina slept. He tossed another piece of popcorn in his mouth. The phone stopped vibrating. He wondered if it was another guy that was calling her. They were not official yet.

He did not want to ask her if she was seeing other guys while they were dating because he was afraid she would say yes. The phone started vibrating again. Jason gawked at the phone eating popcorn. He grew annoyed. They had just spent another wonderful night of not sleeping together again. Mina said that she enjoyed when they cuddled. He corrected that men don't cuddle. They spoon. Mina smiled as she tossed him a blasé look. Mina made a big deal of not sleeping with the guys that she worked with.

When he confronted him about this, she asked him how many actors have he seen worked together again after they dated. He was speechless. So he settled for dates at her favorite restaurants and taking her shopping in European cities that caused a media frenzy. They cuddled on her sofa or at his place watching romantic movies on her nights, and action movies on his night. It was hard for them to watch their own work because they found themselves critiquing their performance instead of enjoying the movie. He would tell her how great her performance was in her work while she told him the same about his. Jason worried that she was placing him in the friend zone. He called his best friend Mike and explained the situation to him. Mike told him that he was definitely in danger of being in friend zone.

He did not get his attraction to Mina. Sure, she was hot. But there were plenty of hot women in his industry. He could not go out anywhere without a woman flirting with him or slipping her phone number or her panties in his pocket. Yet, Mina wasn't like the others. She never gave him the same zealous look that most women gave him. Something was magical and mysterious about her. Like how sometimes she seemed to appear out of nowhere and always came up with a perfect explanation why. The phone started vibrating again. He stared at it. She was an enigmatic woman that had bewitched his heart. He wasn't giving up on her without a fight.

He found himself leaning over the side of the bed and picking up her phone. It was someone named Patricia.

He answered it.

"Hello."

"Oh, is my daughter there?"

"Who's calling?"

"Oh, I'm Mina's mother Patricia. Is Mina there? I heard she has been home for a couple of weeks." Jason was taken aback that Patricia did not seemed even a little bit surprised that a man had pick up her daughter's phone. Was Mina constantly surrounded by people or was she really so promiscuous that her mother did not even bat an eye when a man answered her phone? Patricia spoke with superciliousness like she was superior to everyone. "Please inform my daughter that I am having a dinner party and she is to be there tomorrow at eight pm. No excuses."

"OK."

"Good boy. Tell her to bring you too." The phone clicked off. Jason remained confused as ever. Mina walked out of the shower a minute later with a big towel wrapped tight around her body. Her hair was wet and clung to her wet body. Jason's eyes darkened as his eyes roamed over her entire body. He placed the bag of popcorn over his growing bulge in his pants.

Mina looked at him like she was used to men admiring her body. She asked as she saw her phone in his hand. She asked nonchalantly, "Who called?"

Jason explained that her mother had called to Mina's displeasure and invited them over to her place tomorrow night. Jason spent the next few minutes being screamed at and protecting himself as she beat him with the pillow until he grabbed her wrists and flipped her over on the bed. She quieted as she lied beneath him as his arousal brushed up against her wet core. Her blue eyes matched his darkened desire. He leaned down and kissed her as he caressed her long silky legs and grinded their arousals against one another. They spent the next half hour in a heavy make out session.

Mina covered her eyes when she saw bright headlights approaching her. She lowered her hand in amused astonishment when she saw it was a taxi. She was stunned to see Jason step out of the taxi dressed nicely in a blue dress shirt, black pants, and black shoes. He leaned over to pay the driver and she noticed a bouquet of yellow roses in his hand. He walked up the steps to meet her as the taxi drove off.

Mina smiled as she looked at him. He stood next to her. She said stunned, "I can't believe you came."

Jason smiled. "Of course, I was invited." He looked at the door with the roses behind his back.

Mina smiled at the flowers. "The flowers looked lovely."

Jason smirked waiting for the door to open. "They're not for you. They're for your mother." Mina feigned disappointment causing Jason to laugh.

"I won't say I'm sorry. That was an asinine thing to do this morning."

Jason turned to her. "You're so hard to read sometimes, Mina. What else could I have done to get you admit that you care about me?"

Mina looked at him. "You could have just asked."

Jason snorted. "Mina, I'll have better luck trying to get the truth out of a compulsive liar than get a straight answer from you."

"Ouch, that stung."

"But I accept your apology."

Mina arched an eyebrow. "Excuse me."

Jason grinned. "You're excuse. Saying you 'won't say I'm sorry' is your way of apologizing without apologizing."

"So you are an expert on me after dating me for like three weeks?"

Jason corrected. "Today makes four weeks…a month and not including the three months that we were friends prior." Mina laughed.

Jason looked confused. No one had come to answer the door yet. "Why are we still waiting outside?"

Mina laughed whimsically, "Because I never rang the doorbell."

Jason looked confused as he reached over to ring the fancy doorbell. Jason stood back looking at the door. He glanced at Mina. "You really don't like your mother."

Mina smiled, "No I just really hate her." Jason looked shock at Mina. He quickly turned around when the front door opened.

A mid-aged woman opened the door. "Hegel." Mina greeted her with a big smile on her face. Mina hugged the woman.

"My little Minako! I haven't seen you in ages." The woman embraced Jason too as Jason looked amazed as stepped inside of the beautiful home that had a welcoming golden glow to it. He was surrounded by wealthy and luxury unlike his humble beginnings.

He watched with a smile as Mina hugged her mother happily along with a little girl that looked like a twelve-year-old version of Mina with long beautiful golden hair and blue eyes smoothed back by a white headband. She was wearing a black sequin princess dress and black patent, ribboned ballet shoes and matching black stockings.

Mina knelt down and smiled at her little sister Ariel. Ariel happily embraced her. She said happily, "I have a surprise for you tonight."

Ariel Brandon was Mina's half-sister and Patricia's daughter from her first husband Lord Deacon Brandon, a wealthy English blue blood. Ariel was born when Patricia remarried him after divorcing Mina's father. He died two years after Ariel was born along with his best friend when their plane crashed overseas while going on holiday to the Bahamas. Mina believed that Deacon was the only man that her mother ever really loved.

Patricia dressed lovely in a black wrap dress and heels walked over to Jason. She embraced him as he placed a kiss on her cheek thanking her for inviting him and handing her the roses. Patricia simply smiled.

Ariel twisted from side to side as she grinned at Mina. She spoke in a British accent. "Mina, is he your boyfriend?"

Mina glanced at Jason who stood next to her mother. He gave her a look awaiting her answer. Mina smiled as said, "I guess he is."

Ariel blushed. "He's a hunk." Everyone laughed.

Mina stood up placing her hand on her little sister's back directing her to the dining room as Patricia followed behind them with her arm wrapped around Jason as she spoke to them.

At dinner, Patricia sat at the end of the dining room table that she often used to entertain dozens of guests. Jason and Ariel sat on opposite ends next to her. Mina sat next to Jason. Hegel was the head maid and cook. Hegel cooked them a delicious dinner of baked turkey with gravy and mash potatoes and green beans.

Mina sipped her glass of Chardonnay as she listened as her mother and sister grilled Jason on various questions which he happily answered.

Patricia cut a slice of her turkey with her fork and knife. She asked, "So Jason. How old are you?"

Jason smiled. "I'm twenty-three ma'am."

Ariel asked excitedly, "Do you have any sisters?"

Jason smiled and answered, "I have two sisters and a younger brother. I have an older sister who is a college professor and I have a younger brother and sister who are twins and your age."

Ariel's eyes lit up. "That's awesome. We could be friends."

Jason laughed. "My little sister would adore you."

Patricia asked, "And what about your parents? Where did you grow up?"

Jason said, "I lived on the outskirts of Liverpool with my parents. They were both educators. My father actually quit teaching for a while to help me pursue my career until were twelve and decided I did not want to do it anymore. I wanted to be a normal kid."

Mina learnt more about Jason from the dinner than the entire three months she knew him. Mina asked, "Why did you quit acting when you were younger?"

Jason said, "I was growing up in an industry that wants a child star to remain a child forever. My career started to decline. I no longer was getting lead roles anymore and I was no longer that cute adorable kid. It wasn't fun anymore. My mum asked me if I wanted to quit and I told her that I did. I never regretted my decision and I enjoyed having a normal childhood again. When my father suddenly died shortly after I graduated from high school, something inside of me changed. He always told me that life was short and to live a life with no regrets. It took his death to really make that sink into my mentality. The acting bug bit me again. I wanted to act again. I returned to the industry and went after things that actually interest and challenged me." He looked at the three females that listen silently to every word that he said. He glanced at Mina with a smile as she sipped her wine. "I have no regrets." Patricia and Ariel smiled at one another for a second as Mina gulped.

Later on during the evening, they ate German chocolate cake for desert that Hegel had made from scratch. Patricia asked with a smile as she sipped her Moscato, "So was it love at first sight with my daughter? I was actually watching some episodes of Society. I could see the chemistry between you two. I thought this is the guy that Mina should marry." Jason smiled self-consciously.

Mina dropped her fork on her plate in annoyance at her mother. She said irritated, "Mother, we just started dating like yesterday. Could you drop the marriage talk?"

Patricia placed her hands on the table and said, "Daughter, could you please act civil to your dear mama in front out guest. Must everyone know how much you hate me?" Patricia took a sip of her wine.

Mina said with a fake smile, "Sure, mother." Jason and Ariel made eye contact in the tense room.

After dinner, Charles, Patricia's boyfriend, walked in. He was a very powerful and high ranking official in Parliament. He was also a blue blood and the grandson of an earl. He was a distance cousin to Henry VIII. Charles was a tubby man dressed in a three piece grey suit with a salt and pepper comb over and a thick mosaic mustache. He adored Mina's mother as much she adored spending his money and the lavish gifts and exotic trips he gave her.

Ariel adored Charles and called him Uncle Charles. Patricia dated a series of wealthy and powerful men. She already had been married four times before in her forty years and took half of their fortunes with every divorce. Yet, men still worshipped the ground that she walked on. Even though Mina despised her mother's lifestyle, she had to admit that her mother was still a very beautiful woman in a class and elegance of her own.

Everyone gathered in the sitting room around a small table by a large picture window that showed a lovely view of the green pastures and the crystal blue lake in the horizons. Hegel served them hot tea and teacakes while Charles played Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" on the piano as Ariel brilliantly danced her ballet routine in front of them. As she finished, they all happily applauded her as she curtsied and thanked them.
After Ariel's performance, Jason stood up by the fireplace with Patricia and Charles. He listened listlessly to Charles go on about politics nodding occasionally. He glanced at Mina and Ariel sitting at the piano like two peas in a pod as they placed a tune to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". Ariel laughed. He stared at her affectionately. He found himself wondering if she would be a great mother to his children. Whoa! He did not just go there. He never thought about settling down and having children before. Now, he was at a family dinner with Mina and her dysfunctional family and he was thinking about having a family with her.

He shook his head and found Patricia smiling warmly at him. He gulped. Did she know what he was thinking?

Patricia placed a warm hand on Charles' arm stopping him from talking. She said softly, "Darling, could you summon Hegel for the champagne? It's time." Charles jumped up.

He said alert, "Yes darling." He excused himself and walked out of the room. Jason was internally grateful to Patricia.

Patricia said looking at Mina, "You must be patient with my daughter. It takes her a while to open up."

Jason asked curiously, "Excuse me for asking, but why does Mina have so much animosity for you? You seemed like such a wonderful woman."

Patricia smiled coolly at him. "Dear, some family secrets are better left unsaid." Jason simply stared at her. She placed a warm hand of his arm as she walked passed him. He turned around to her. She greeted her husband with a kiss on the cheek as Hegel returned with a tray of champagne.

Hegel circled the room and handed them all a glass of champagne. She stood in the center holding hands with Charles and looking at him affectionately.

She turned to her two daughters. She said happily, "Girls, I want to make an announcement. Charles and I are madly in love and we're getting married."

Ariel beamed with happiness. "That's amazing mummy." Ariel raced towards her mother setting down the champagne and embraced both of them. "I'm so happy for both of you."

Mina rolled her eyes and simply lifted her glass to her lips and took a sip. Patricia happily kissed her fiancé.

Later on that night, Mina and Jason arrived back at Mina's flat in Kensington. Jason leaned over and thanked the cab driver and paid him a little extra. Jason watched as Mina walked out of the bathroom freshly showered in a tank top and cute fuzzy pajama pants. Her long hair was tied back into a ponytail. Jason smiled as he watched her walk around the bed to her side as she continued to rub the moisturizer on her arms. She looked nothing like the glamorous girl he sat in the magazine. She looked natural beautiful. She yawned as she crawled in the bed next to him. He was wearing a t-shirt and boxers. She cuddled up next to him as he flipped off the telly and adjusted himself to be more comfortable next to her. As he pulled her tightly in his arms, he sighed as he smelled the wonderful scent of her shampoo.

She said sleepily, "Thanks for coming tonight."

Jason smiled. "Thanks for inviting me."

"I didn't. You manipulated me into inviting you."

Jason asked curiously, "Mina?"

She yawned. "Yeah."

"Why don't you like your mother?"

Mina drifted off. "Don't wanna talk about it. Good night, Jason." She was asleep. Jason sighed. It seemed like both the mother and daughter were stubborn. He yawned and fell into a deep slumber.

After a long day of taking bioscience courses and preclinical classes, Ami was exhaustive. What made it worse was sometimes she would run into Greg. There was an awkward silence between them and they tried to stay at out of the other person's way. He stared at her with apologetic eyes.

Ami walked in the student union for her lunch break. She quickly hid behind a pillar. She slowly peeped out to see Greg sitting at a table with a short-haired brunette with perfect hair and beautiful chocolate eyes. She knew it was Heather. She wasn't particular beautiful and her looks were quite average, but Greg looked at her as if she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Heather laughed at something he said as he fed her one of his fries. Ami never laughed at Greg's jokes because she found them corny. She saw something that she never saw in Greg's eyes. He gazed in her pretty chocolate eyes with so much affection. Ami could tell they were madly in love with one another. Greg leaned towards her and gave Heather an affectionate kiss on the lips. Ami hated public displays of affection. He whispered something in Heather's ear that caused her to laugh. They looked perfect together.

It was easy for them to be together. It was not hard as it was when they were together. Ami slowly walked away. She walked passed a large oak tree and reappeared at Raye's temple in Japan. She walked into Raye's room and sat on the floor staring at nothing in particular.

Raye dressed in her traditional miko attire read a group of giggling school girls their fortune as they prayed for confidence and to be lucky in love.

Raye walked into her room. She stood stunned when she saw a pensive Ami sitting on the floor of her room staring at a blank wall.

Raye slid her door closed behind her.

Ami stared at the blank wall. "It's easy to be with her. That's why he chose her over me."

Raye sat on the edge of her bed. She knew the answer but she asked anyway. "Who?"

"Greg," Ami turned to her. "He's getting married next month. I saw him with his fiancée and they were so happy together.

Raye said apologetically with a smile, "I'm sorry they are so happy together."

Ami smiled at Raye. "Don't mock me Raye. I loved Greg since I was fourteen-years-old. I gave him my innocence when I was seventeen. Besides school, he's been everything to me."

Raye added, "You mean besides school and being a sailor scout and saving the world week after week." Ami looked at Raye. Raye continued, "Ami, the only time you interacted with Greg was when he was a rainbow carrier and when Prince Endyimon was after him for being a rainbow carrier. Other than that, you hardly spoke to him or spent time with him. After being a sailor, your everything was school not Greg. I think he knows that."

Ami lashed out, "That isn't true."

"So if you had to choose between being with Greg and being a doctor. What would you choose?"

Ami hesitated. She dreamt of being a doctor since as long as she remembered. She strived to be the best. She loved Greg, but her passion to become a doctor was stronger.

Ami leaned her head against the wall. She realized that Raye was right.

Raye stood up from her bed and sat on the floor next to Ami. She placed a comforting arm around her friend. Raye said, "Greg is a great guy, but you outgrew him a long time ago. You were accepted into the best medical program in the world and every other program you applied for. He was not. You are the better doctor and the better student. Greg sees that, and he is stepping away so that you can focus one hundred percent on your goal. Focus on becoming Ami Mizuno the doctor and let everything else fall into place naturally."

Ami said, "I don't want to end up alone-"

"You won't."

"I also don't want to be the mother so busy that she never spends time with her daughter." She thought about her mother Sharon. Sharon was a great woman and a great surgeon, but Ami spent most of childhood alone because her mother was too busy at the hospital. The happiest day in her life was the day she met Serena. She wasn't alone anymore. She had friends. She had a family. Ami rested her head on Raye's shoulder.

Ami smiled. "You're right. Greg was a wonderful guy, and I enjoyed my time with him. But I am now going to focus completely on school without any distractions." Ami added, "Can I just feel sorry for myself today and then move on tomorrow?"

Raye laughed. "Sounds fine to me. Wanna go catch up with Lita and get wasted." Ami nodded. They started to laugh.

They ended up at a club. Raye wore a tiny red silky dress with a plunging v-neckline with high heels and Ami wore a tight, yellow and backless halter mini dress with matching stilettos. They ended up at a night club called Ravens. They invited Lita to come out with them, but she told that she was busy with the restaurants.

They laughed as they danced with one another in the crowd to LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem." They were extremely intoxicated as they danced with the crowd to the song. When the DJ started playing Katy Perry's "Dark Horse", they started dancing so seductively with one another moving their hips and asses in beat with the song, people thought they were lovers and most of the men in the club eyes were on them.

Ami left Raye on the dance floor as Raye danced seductively between two guys to R Kelly's "Cookie". Ami leaned over the counter and asked the bartender for two beers. The bartender, who was built like a bouncer with a bald head, nodded as he wiped a glass with a towel.

"So is that your girlfriend out there or are you just really good friends?" Ami turned to her left and had to catch her breath. A handsome Japanese guy with a perfect English accent sat on the stood next to her. He looked like he was in his mid-thirties. He was tall with beautiful wavy dark hair and dark eyes. He had a slim muscular physique and he was wearing a nice dress shirt and jeans. He was drinking a beer. He exuded of sophistication and wealth like he did not belong there. He glanced over again at the dance floor. His eyes widen when Raye did the booty roll as she brushed her tight ass against on the guy's crotch as she came up. "Wow! That was so hot. I wondered if you can dance like that. I bet you're great in bed from how you were dancing." Ami saw him checking out her body from the corner of her eye. He was clearly intoxicated. She saw three empty beer bottles next to him.

Ami looked bemused. She was impressed that he spoke perfect English and he had no clue that she understood everything that he said. When the bartender handed her the beer, Ami thanked him in Japanese. The guy held out his hand signaling the waiter and said, "No, put it on my tab." The bartender nodded.

Ami turned to the guy. She watched as he took another sipped of his beer. Ami smiled. She said in English, "Thanks for the beer." His eyes widen as he spat out the beer all over the bar. He said panicky turning to her, "I am so sorry if I offended you. I normally don't act like this! I hardly go to clubs." He continued to apology. "I normally do not objectify women even though I find you extremely hot and I want to have sex with you….Shit!" Ami looked at him with amused eyes. He slapped his hand against his forehead.

She laughed. "It's okay. Thanks for the beers again."

Ami started to walk off. "Wait!" She glanced at Raye clearly having dry sex with both the guys on the dance floor. Ami turned around. The guy said apologetic almost pitifully. "Do you mind sitting with me for a moment?"
Ami smiled apologetic. "I have to get back to my friend."

He checked out Raye on the dance floor. "It seems like your friend is bailing on you." Ami turned around placing the beers on the counter.

Ami rushed through the crowd when she saw Raye was about to leave with the two guys. Ami grabbed Raye's shoulder. A very intoxicated Raye said slurring, "I'm fine, Ami. I am just going to go home with these guys."

Ami frowned. "No, you're not. You're coming with me."

Raye pleaded. "I want to go, Ami. I need this."

Ami shook her head. "This is not the answer." Ami knew that Raye was lonely. She missed her grandfather and she missed Chad. It took not having him anymore to make her realize how much he meant to her. She would sometimes wake up crying for him and cry herself back to sleep dreaming about him. Ami pitied her, but she was not going to let these guys take advantage of her intoxicated state.

One of the guys frowned and said, "Look babe unless you are coming along to party, back off. She's says she want to go."

Ami frowned at the guy with icy eyes. He touched her wrist. Ami zeroed in on the other's guy hand on her wrist. Her other hand formed a first. A surge of energy rose in her body. Her eyes started to glow blue. She gasped when she saw a fist punched the guy who was holding her wrist in the face knocking him the ground and the other guy being flipped over.

Ami turned around as her eyes returned to normal and saw that it was the guy from the bar with serious martial arts skills. He looked at the guys on the ground and said, "The women already told you it's not going to happen so beat it." The guys frowned at the man and ran over cursing under their breath.

Raye's knees started to buckle as she started to black out and lose consciousness. The guy quickly caught her and scooped her in her arms.

He said, "Come on. Let's get her home." Ami nodded. She sat in the black seat of his Jaguar with an unconscious Raye lying on her with her stomach on the seat. Ami slowly caressed Raye's hair.

The guy was impressed when he saw that Raye lived in temple. He said in disbelief as he carried her up the stairs with Ami next to him. "I can't believe she's a Shinto priestess." Ami smiled. He led her to Raye's room. Ami helped Raye changed into her night clothes and tucked her into bed. She gave her a quick peck on the top of her hair.

She walked out of Raye's room closing the door behind her. She was stunned when she saw the guy was still there.

She saw him admiring the scenery of the temple. She walked towards him. She said, "Thank you for helping us out back there."

He said, "You're welcome." He turned to her and said with a weak smile. "I feel like an ass for objectifying you in a club."

Ami laughed. "I think everyone gets objectified in a club."

He smiled and asked, "How's your friend? Is she going to be okay?"

Ami nodded. "Yeah, she's okay, but she will have a hell of a headache tomorrow." The guy laughed as he smiled at her. They locked eyes for a moment. Ami broke away from his intensive stare.

Ami said, "Thanks again for helping us out-"

He interrupted, "Walter…my name is Walter Alan." He held out his hand.

Ami shook his hand feeling a tingle in the pit of her stomach. "Ami."

He said, "It's nice to meet you, Ami."

Ami smiled. "It was nice to meet you too." He stared at her for a moment. Ami became uncomfortably hot suddenly like she wanted to jump out of her skin. She glanced back at Raye's room. "Well, I have to go check on Raye again. May sure she makes it through the night. Thank you Mr. Alan..."

"Oh no…no formal titles. You're Ami and I'm Walter."

Ami said bemused, "Fine, good night then, Walter…" She turned around and walked off twisting her hips knowing that he was checking out her ass.

"Have lunch with me tomorrow!" He shouted out suddenly.

Ami continued walking away. "Good night, Walter."

"I'll be here tomorrow at noon if you want to have lunch with me." She never responded. Walter sighed as he shoved his hands in his pocket and walked away.

Ami spent the night at Raye's to make sure she was okay. Raye woke up the next day with a pounding headache and huge hangover. Raye looked embarrassed for getting that drunk. Ami told her that it was okay. Raye smiled. Ami told her about Walter. Raye told her that she totally should go out with him.

Just as he said, Walter showed up at the temple at noon. He was dressed nicely in a button down plaid shirt and khaki pants and black shoes. He greeted Raye who instantly liked him. He offered to invite her to join them, but Raye said that she was busy.

Ami walked down the stairs dressed in a sleeveless, white sheath dress that emphasized all of her curves with matching white heels. Ami had no idea why she liked teasing this man with her body. She knew that he wanted her. He even told her drunken last night that he wanted to have sex with her.

After lunch at a local café, they stopped buy a local coffee shop and he brought them two caramel frappuccinos. They strode through the park.

Ami asked, "So where did you learn how to speak English? Your accent is perfect." They were speaking Japanese.

"I went to boarding school in England. Brymore Academy in Somerset. What about you?"

"What do you mean?" Ami asked feigning ignorance.

Walter rolled his eyes. "Come on. I could smell one of us a mile away. I can tell your friend Raye comes from money too. So what school did you go to because your English is impeccable also?"

Ami grinned. "I went to Badminton School until grade eight."

Walter said excitedly, "I knew it."

Ami changed the subject. "So are you from here?"

Walter said, "My family is from here, but I spent most of my time in boarding school. I currently live overseas."

Ami said, "That's cool. So what brings you back home?"

Walter said, "I am on vacation visiting my parents and also returning my cheating ex-wife back to her family."

Ami looked confused. "What?"

"I caught my wife in bed with my one of my best friends so I divorced her a year ago and she was still in my life. She has no aspirations in life besides being a pain in my ass so I returned her home for her family to deal with. They kept offering to buy her a ticket to return home, but she would never go. So I took her." He smiled relieved. Ami burst into laughter. "What's your story?" Ami shook her head. Walter asked again, "What's your story? You looked as lonely as I did last night."

Ami laughed. She did not understand why she felt the urge to tell him, but she figured that she would never see him again. "The only guy that I ever loved for the last eight years of my life told me that he is marrying another woman next month after we made love two weeks ago." She added shamefacedly. "Then I slept with him afterwards."

"Ouch!" He took another sip of his drink. "If it makes you feel better, I still slept with my ex-wife for three months after we divorced even though I hated her. She did not have a place to stay and it was there so I took it." Ami giggled.

Ami stopped once they reached a curb in the pathway. Ami began to say good-bye. He cut her off. "Come back with me to my hotel room."

Ami was taken aback. She said tickled, "So that you can have sex with me?"

Walter said smugly, "Of course." He turned to her. "I'm leaving tomorrow. The chances of us seeing one another again are one in a billion. We are obviously physically attractive to one another. It's been two weeks for you and nine months for me." Walter caressed the side of Ami's face. She felt a chill run through her spine. Her stomach was twisted in knots and felt hot all over. "We were both searching for someone to take home last night to lose ourselves in and forget our problems for a few moments. You and I both know that if it was not for your friend getting drunk, you and I would have slept together." He took a step closer to her until they were inches apart. "So come back to my room with me."

A few minutes later, Ami found herself in Walter's penthouse in a five star hotel. She stepped out of her heels as her feet sunk in the soft white carpet. He slowly unzipped the back of her dress pulling it slowly off her shoulders. He turned her in his arms and began to kiss her softly on the lips. Their kiss soon turned into something deeper as she found herself wrapping her arms around him and herself being picked up by him and being effortlessly carried to his king-sized bed.

Their clothes lied scattered all over the floor. Ami whimpered in pleasure as her hands roamed his muscular physique. He slowly made love to her with so much skill and tenderness that it brought tears to her eyes. His impressive member continued hitting her sweet spot over and over again. He passionately kissed her as she matched his rhythm. She climaxed so many times with him that she lost count.

Ami laughed. She could not believe one sexual encounter with a complete stranger overshadowed her entire sexual relationship with Greg. He asked if it was okay for him to come inside of her on their first round. She shook her head even though he looked safe and she was on the pill. She knew she could never be too careful in this day and time. He used a big pack of condoms. She laughed when she saw that he had two boxes. He dared them to use them all before he left.

Ami saw the sun starting to set. She looked in disbelief. She asked tiredly, "How long have we been at it?"

Walter leaned over and checked the counter. He said, "Well we started at two and it's after six." Ami burst into laughter.

Ami smiled. "Well, I guess this is my cue to leave."

Walter turned on his side and propped his head on his elbow. Walter shook his head. "No, it's not. I don't want you to leave just yet. Let's talk for a while. My flight doesn't leave until tomorrow afternoon anyway."

Ami arched her eyebrow. "You want me to stay. We basically had a one night stand and you want me to stay."

Walter looked confused. "And your point is…."

Ami turned towards him. Walter's eyes dropped to her big breasts jiggling in front of him. Ami rolled her eyes. "You're supposed to kick me out and say that 'I'll call you' and never call."

Walter looked amused as he looked up at her face. "I'm sorry." Ami did not know whether he was apologizing for ogling her breasts or not knowing about one night stands. "I was married for like eight years. I'm a bit rusty on…what's this called now?"

Ami said, "Hooking up…"

"Hooking up?" He said, "You never had a serious relationship before?"

Ami shook her head. "No, none of them ever lasted. They'll tell me that they'll call and they never do. My ex, the one that's getting married, is the closest thing I had to a real relationship and now, I look back on it. It was a series of hookups." Ami rolled on her back and dropped her head on the pillow. "I am really pathetic."

Walter rolled on top of her. He softly kissed her nose causing her to smile. He said, "You deserved something real. You're special, Ami."

Walter felt himself coming hard as his groin brushed against her core. Ami smiled. "You're just saying that because I fucked your brains out."

Walter asked, "You have a potty mouth for someone that looks so innocent." Ami grinned. He asked worried. She knew what he was thinking.

She said, "Don't worry. I'm legal. I'm twenty-two."

Walter sighed in relief. "I wasn't thinking. I just assumed that because you were old enough to get in the club that you were legal. I'm thirty-five. Is that too old for you? That's thirteen years older. That makes me old enough to be your…"

Ami smiled running her hands through his thick hair. "Big brother." Ami pulled his head down to hers and started devouring her mouth with his and flipped him over and made love to him for another four hours.

When they woke up the next morning cuddled together, Walter ordered room service to delivered breakfast to them. Ami met Walter outside on the balcony. He was wearing one of the hotel robes and she was wearing the other. They chatted about current events and various topics. They found out that they had a lot in common.

When they went back into the bedroom, Ami laughed as she looked at the box of condoms. There was only two left. That meant they had to have had sex at least twenty two times last night.

Walter grinned at her then she found herself being shed of her hotel robe. He bent her over pushing her head into the bed and rubbed lubricant on ass crack. He leaned over her and said, "This is my first time trying this." He pushed her back down until his tiny, cute ass was poking up at him. He found himself massaging her ass and playfully slapping it.

Ami bit her bottom lip as his finger pushed in and out of her anus. It was her first time trying it also. At first, it was painful then she found herself being turned on by it. He soon replaced his finger with his massive member as the tip of his groin entered in and out of her. She found herself moaning as she felt him pushing in and out of her. He was soon able to shove his entire length inside of her as he pounded faster like he was inside of her core. Ami screamed in pleasure as Walter erupted inside of her. He unleashed a massive load inside of her. He slowly pulled out of her.

With the last condom, they slowly made love in bed as he kissed every inch of her body. She held onto his body sucked him on his neck like a thirsty vampire and scratching her long fingernails down his back as she wrapped her legs tightly around him as he slowly moved in and out of her. He tried to prolong the moment as long as possible. With one twist of her hip, he found himself erupting inside of her. He lied limp in Ami for a while before finally pulling out. He asked weakly, "Did you orgasm?"

Ami smiled. "It was amazing." She was on the brink of climaxing but he came before she reached that moment. He looked slightly dissatisfied when he realized that she did not come.

They soon showered where he dropped to his knees suddenly and started eating Ami out in the shower. She screamed in pleasure as she erupted on his tongue and he hungrily licked every drop. On the drive back to Raye's, he fingered her as he drove the car. He never took his eyes off the road as moved inside of her knowing exactly what spots to hit. The other vehicles, the cyclists, pedestrians, and everything else was completely oblivious to Ami as she spread her legs wider to give him better access. She creamed all over her panties. He asked her for her panties as a souvenir. She looked at him like he was crazy, but she foolishly found herself wiggling out of her white panties and giving it to him.

He stuck it in his jacket pocket. Walter laughed. "Now, I know the last forty-eight hours were real." He leaned over and kissed her good-bye. She knew he was checking her out as she walked up the steps commando without panties. She turned around and shouted amused. "Go catch your flight!" He grinned at her and blew her a kiss before driving off. She laughed. She could not believe all the crazy things she did within the last forty-eight hours.

Ami strolled through the temple searching for Raye. She walked into Raye's room to see that Raye was not there. She found her in the meditating room sitting in front of the fire. Ami walked into the temple. The flames of the fire rose as Raye sat in the floor in Indian style with her eyes closed. Ami covered her eyes as she felt a gush of wind pushed her back. She cried, "Raye, what's going on?" The flames of the fire spread from the fire surrounding Raye. Ami cried out, "Raye!" She was stunned to see that the flames did not harm Raye as they encircled her.

Raye said, "Show me this evil." Raye opened her eyes .She saw that she was dressed as Sailor Mars. She was surrounded by red due to the blood moon in the sky. Paved streets were filled with thousands of dead bodies piled on top of one another. Raye smelled the foul stench of blood and death. Gigantic dark crows with demonic eyes picked at the flesh of the dead bodies. In the horizon, she saw the ruins of Tokyo. It was extremely quiet except for the crows. There was no inkling that anybody was alive. The earth shook underneath. Roads cracked below her as if the earth was opening up beneath her. She soon walked down the streets. Hundreds of soldiers were slaughtered. There was no sign of life. She saw the deceased bodies of the sailor warriors on the ground. There was no hint of life. All was silent. She gasped when she saw her dead body on the ground with lifeless eyes. She raced through the streets like she was racing from her death. They were all dead. She could see the portal closing but she could not see who had went through was a loud banshee screamed as everyone turning to dust around her as she screamed as the flesh of her body started melt away leaving nothing but bones that quickly turned to dust. There was large explosion and the earth exploded into trillion of pieces in the space.

"Raye!" Raye snapped out of her vision and turned to see Ami was standing to her. The flames left Raye's body and returned to the fireplace. They quickly disappeared. Ami knelt before her.

Ami asked, "What did you see?"

Raye said looking at the now empty fireplace. "Judgment Day."
