Part 20
The Cowboys
Kuon and Kyoko as always had their regular commitments in Japan for their celebrity jobs, especially for their ling running romance drama.
And because of the new season, they will be in Japan often to do tapings. And because of the new season, the cast grew in numbers again having new co-stars. The couple, being the main welcoming committee, threw another welcoming party for the three new rising actresses that joined them.
Using their million dollar home in Japan as a present from Kuon's brother as their venue. Their regular colleagues as usual loved the place, especially the new renovations and addition. To Kuon and Kyoko's delight during their stay, Julianne with his current business is joining them home.
Still in his fancy tailored all black suit that matched his iconic white Stetson cowboy hat, his three loyal top-hands as usual were present and stood alert as he makes his way down the main living room where the couple's guests are and greeting them.
The three attractive men stood in attention with their own fitting tailored suits and black cowboy hats, the three new actresses could not help but stare at them.
Kyoko and her former Love Me friends definitely noticed the lingering looks the three ladies were giving, "Are you girls interstested with Yuuya, Lugh and Hajime-kun?" Kyoko with a teasing smile.
The girls blushed and tried their best to avoid making eye contact, "Oh don't worry, they're all single." she winked, "Come! I'll introduce you to the cowboys!" she said in glee and started pulling the ladies.
While everyone was busy mingling and sharing food, Kyoko- with the three ladies in tow made their way close to Julianne's office where the three men were outside exchanging talks and security information relayed by the roaming ground security checking the whole perimeter.
While Julianne is within his full glass walled office taking a call and shedding off his suit, his men outside discussing, "Suzu-san bought the meat and we still have the dry rub, Chief made..." Yuuya commented.
Kyoko dragging the bashful girls, they were introduced and the actress found amusement at the cowboys' silly reaction at the cute girls shyly accepting their gentlemanly gestures. Kyoko leaving them and calling for her future-brother-in-law and pulling him to join their little party again.
The canes in Julianne's office wall became the conversation piece as the ladies grew interested of their work and hilarous adventures making sure their boss don't hurt himself further.
Relaxed and seated by one of the offered lounges, new puppies to be trained as future securities in their laps, "So... you don't go home on your days off or vacation?" Kaori genuinely asked Yuuya.
The tall man gave a sad smile and shook his head, "After my grandfather passed away, I no longer have a family. Staying with the Marshall and the Hizuris are convenient and with them, I felt like having a family. Marshall... The big boss; is like that one brother who keeps us in our toes, Kuon and Kyoko are like the older siblings too. Mamoshka and Tou-sama are the folks I never had too..." this touched the upcoming actress.
Same as Yuuya, Lugh and Hajime expressed their fondness to the Hizuris as their own family. Meanwhile Kyoko and Kuon on the side with Chiori and Kanae grew amused, "So you introduced those awkwardly harsh stiff dogs to our little ones?" Chiorin asked in amusement.
Kyoko giggled, "Jules told me those three had a crush and had been a fan of our juniors!" She exclaimed, "They'd rush to Jule's office television and watch their dramas too!" This baffled Kuon and the two ladies.
Noticing Julianne's missing presence, "Where is he?" Kuon had a little panic knowing Julianne just took his new prescribed medication.
Breathing in relief, he was back in his office, slouched to his leather sofa, with his loyal four legged best friend to his lap, head tilted back and mouth hanging open out cold.
Later that afternoon, the little house party became a pool party in Kuon's insistence. The other celebrities were in awe seeing armed men roaming the property and commenting like its from one of their movie scenes, but considering Kuon's brother's risky career the huge armed men are a necessity.
While the three heads of the Hizuri family security were enjoying their day off and entertaining their respective companies, "Oi... Hajime, the big guy's craving seafood boil." Lugh laughed reading their group chat after the notification.
Hajime and Yuuya laughed as well, "I'll go get the keys." Scratching his head, "We'll head out a bit, you want anything, Yui?" The man grew comfortable with the short blonde lady who thought of a short cake, "Just hang tight. Well be out in a bit." he winked and skipped to change into his street clothes together with his buddy Yuuya in a pair of nice jeans, cargo-boots and clean shirts. Julianne who finally came out, his pooch in a very expensive cuban chain collar- to his heel was in a comfortable pair of jogger shorts and a nice LA Lakers Jersey complaining how hot Japanese summer is.
Indeed their trip to get seafood and few spices were quick as Yuuya masterfully knew the metro and its general stores. Hajime and the boys bought cakes and flowers as apologies and gave it to the girls who happily took it. Julianne on the other hand went back to make himself his cravings which was later hijacked by Kyoko who wanted some.
That evening after getting their guests home safely, the three rising actresses under the Love Me program shared in their socials the feared Cowboys that had been popular after Kuon breifly featured them to his official SNS. Many of their male fans were not pleased but after knowing who the girls fancies, they failed to have qualms as the three men are known for their profession and facts through showbiz news reports; of their feats as Julianne's top hands and securities but also their looks and charms.

Extra: The Casual Routines
The Hizuri estate grew to be a multi-million estate after Julianne made and added luxury improvements as well high-end amenities and utilities for their daily work as a legitimate company.
That includes multiple servants and security quarters and facilities to accomodate the growing staff. And to thank his loyal top hands as well as engineers to house their own families, the estate has become a mini village with their own personal houses built in the same modern box type design to match the main office building and the main mansion. The t houses includes at least four bedrooms, with five bathrooms, a full professional kitchen, two living rooms and two balconies.
The growing property is similar to an exlusive subdivision from all the annexes and houses made, there were also a sports complex, doggy park with playgrounds for the children to play, and gardens for Julie and Kyoko to host their ladies and celebrity parties which was featured multiple times in both social media and magazines as one of the most exclusive parties ine could attend.
And since the staff now lives close by, they now treat each other as family, and to Kuu's amusement; Lugh, Hajime and Yuuya has become his extended and adoptive older sons that watches over his youngest.
And every morning the three had a usual routine- despite owning a grand and fancy kitchen in their homes, they still crash their boss's breakfast and asks him to cook.
"Its not that we're lazy or something. Its just there's something in Chief's food that makes it real good!" Hajime chimed which flattered Julianne and allowed the three to join him for breakfast.
Kyoko one time shared it to one of her day-in-the life episodes where Lugh; still in his bathrobe, Yuuya; topless and flashing his ripped torso and only clothed with his pajama pants, and then there's Hajime who brazenly sits in his boxers in Julianne's luxury kitchen island munching in some full English breakfast. That scene trended over her platform for weeks and begged her for more of their daily routines.
And since her fans begged, who was she to deny. With permission granted from both older couple and Julianne she took her camera that one Wednessday with her around their home, "Morning." Greeted Lugh in his usual morning attire to join the other two for breakfast, sipping his coffee, "I had checked with Leon this morning that your meeting with Sawada-san has been cancelled, Chief." informing his boss who nodded.
Looking up, "With your schedule changed, you have a free morning. But in the afternoon Nakahara-san will drop by to personally deliver the new hardwares for the new military grade vehicles." he added after reading his iPad.
Yuuya after taking a sip from his protien smoothie, "Also, Dr. Ainsworth contacted me last night about your lapsed check-up. Should I inform him you have a free morning so he can swing by on your free schedule?" he informed.
Julianne with a hum, "That would be preferable." Julianne who's flipping pan cakes for Hajime's waiting plate.
"Thanks Chief. By the way, you're free for the whole Friday and down to the weekend- should I give Wein and the other fellas a call?" he wore a silly and mischievous grin.
Julianne laugh, "Sure, alcohol poining is a weekend thing now." This made Kuon, Kuu, Yashiro as well as the other two choke on their breakfast and laughed along.
"I thought, Dr. Ainsworth banned you from those?" Kyoko asked in disapproval.
Julianne shrugged, "I didn't say the alcohol poisoning is for me... I mainly binge in H2O and those OJs they call chaser now." Kyoko approved of his new life choices.
Kyoko laughed, "Im surprised Ninym haven't barged in your office with those thick Jurisprudence books her hasband had and smack you with it."
Julie then in amusement, "Oh please, like my models would let her. You know how protective and madly in love they are with my baby boy." and the three top hands nodded in agreement. "Gosh, this is why I bring them here less, otherwise poor Sasha would end up all ravaged." she joked and Julianne ignored the fact that it was true.
Suddenly seven dogs rushed to jump around Julianne, seeing their scary size and breeds they were part of the canine security force of the family. But it seems all Thirty pups that Julianne procured has become a part-time security and a full time house pets for him. Julie even joked that she was a grandmother of all thirty-three pups and Julianne is the parent, "Hey sweet boys, do you want treats?" It was very rare and unusual for Julianne to be heard cooing and making such soft tones, but with the dogs and now they had two over weight tabby cats its now become a common thing in the mornings.
Julianne made bite size pancakes safe for dog consumption and gabe them one-by-one, "Hi girlie, sweet girly!" making baby and kissy noises- aggressively petting all doggieson sight. Lugh took the time to call the Kennel manager to let all the dogs out their quarters and allow them to head to the kitchen as usual.
The scene was chaotic with all the different breed of huge working dogs, but somehow they were well mannered waiting for their treats, pets and praises from their papa Julianne, of course Diesel was special and had the privilege of stealing bacon from Kuu who taught him the bad habit, "Last one, otherwise you'll be as chonky as Mango and Chedar." The two orange tabbies already up in the island counter stealing Julianne's bacons and sausages.
That short breakfast routine went viral in an instant and the new LME girls back in Japan thanked Kyoko for the upload after watching their crushes interact.
