Miss Movie Star
10- A Little Talk
Last Time
I turn my head to see the maid looking at me questionably, making me shrug. I say, "I will be right behind you, Ma'am, so lead them away." I finish smiling up at her.
Naruko POV
"I like your Kimono; you do know how to make the orange work for you."
"Thank you, and I think you look pretty in your maid uniform," I say as I turn my head to get a little more time to look at the curvature of her backside.
"I hear a small giggle; you know, Naruko. I am used to guys looking at me like that, but a pretty young girl… it's kind of cute."
"Oh, uh… I'm sorry." I say, quickly looking away, and I play hair with my fingers without noticing I was.
"Oh, don't worry about it. I did say I think it's cute." She says as she patted my head.
"But I wasn't trying to be-."
"And that is coming from a cute little girl." She says with another giggle, and she cut me off.
I pounded. I crossed my arms, still playing with my hair by twisting it around one finger.
She giggles again and says, "I'm not trying to be rude or anything; take your cuteness and go with it until it becomes sexiness."
I nodded absentmindedly, not possessing the last word she said, but I still felt angry about being called cute.
"So, take it as a compliment because you are so cute." She says with a squeal.
"Thank you… I'm not used to being called cute."
"Oh? you will be." She says it is a law of the universe.
I look up at her again to see her smiling down at me.
She let out a soft sigh, "you know when I was your age, I was the same way."
"What. Why? But yo-"
"I know, I know I heard it before. 'But you are soo cute and pretty,' trust me, I already heard it before." She stopped for a second to take a deep breath.
"Oh, we are at miss Koyuki's room. Please go inside; I heard she is ready behind schedule for today." She says in a sing-song tone.
"Wait, we are here?" I say surprise, and I feel like I blink and pop up in front of the door.
"Yes, we are. Wait… by your tone of voice; you seem surprised."
I sighed.
"Hmm, I see who show you around."
"Huu… Koyuki did." I say in a way that is very Hinata-like.
She laughed again. "Just going to warn you to miss Koyuki like to go down the hallways with guardians in them."
"That makes sense; she does like her gardening. But I normally jump through the window."
She opens the door looking like she is holding back a laugh. Maybe thinking 'jumping through the window' is a joke.
Walking into Koyuki's room, I smile at the maid holding the door. Hoping my smile shows my appreciation of the conversation.
I think she will smile back at me, but she just mouths, 'good luck.'
With the same smile, I walk into the room.
And what I saw was a frantic-looking Koyuki sprinting back and forth between her bed and her closet. Her bed; she is stacking up clothes and filling up bags for the trip. And the closet, what do you think clothes out kept in the closet.
But Koyuki, in her frantic state of mind, stops in front of me and says, "do you mind helping me with this? You know what I like to wear."
"I thought you say you already pack."
"I wasn't the one picking up my clothes." She says as she is shaking her arms in the air, in the way like how you will make snow angels.
And behind me, I hear a click. So, she left me, and leave me with this…. I sighed.
After she hears me sigh, she pulls her arms to her chess and starts pouting. Trying to make yourself look cute and trying to pull off the puppy dog's eyes. But it doesn't work because she is taller than me, and I am a master of the sexy no jutsu.
But sadly, I nodded because she was my friend.
She instantly lit up with a huge smile and almost shouted, "thanks."
"Warm or cold?"
"Warm." She says, getting back to work but smiling and showing a step in her walk.
Resolve or showy?
"Showy. my grandfather our ready sent all the dresses and Kimonos I will wear to the banquets."
"Have fun getting a sunburn," I say in a mocking tone.
"You are so good at picking out self like that, and when you get my age, you going to make your boyfriend the happiest man ever." She says with a sexy wink. "Or girls."
"Shut up!" I shouted at her and shook my head. "I shouldn't have given you my copy of those books."
"But you did." She says like she is singing as she walks into the bathroom.
I sighed. "Fine. I will help you but don't try to get pregnant."
"What did you say, Naruko?" I heard echoing out from the bathroom.
"Never mind," I shouted into the bathroom. "I was just thinking out loud," I say and in a normal tone because Koyuki just walks out of the bathroom holding a small, leathery bag.
It is not like I am 13 years old. And I am picking out clothes that would make anybody want a second look.
"Oh. Sorry for breaking you out of your train, I thought." She says, putting the small bag into a suitcase.
"It is all fine…. Now I need to pick out some bikinis for you, for the beach." I say as I walk into the closet.
"Thank you." I heard Koyuki shout from her bedroom.
"You're welcome," I said quietly but loud enough for Koyuki to hear me.
Oh, one more thing. Koyuki says, poking her head into her closet.
"Yeah?" I say absentmindedly, opening a cabinet.
"You are coming with I want you to meet somebody down there."
"Wait, what!" I shouted and was shocked she was picking her head into the closet.
"I put some strings and talked to some of my collections. And I found somebody good who you can work with for your entire career." She says confidently but with an undertone of nervousness. Scared, I would say no.
Sighing, I say, "after this, I can pick up my big seal, and we can go."
She smiles happily and says, "awesome."
