"Want to take a bath?" Yoko asked as she was getting her stuff ready.
"That sounds like a good idea."
We both took the elevator to the last floor. Surprisingly, the bath house was empty. It was my first time at an onsen. I felt really weird taking off all of my clothes in front Yoko. She, on the other hand, didn't have a problem at all. She was already soaking in the water.
"Oh wow! Sam, you have some nice big boobs." I felt blush creep on me and I hurried to hide my body in the water.
"Shut up, Yoko."
"Can I touch?" She had this mischievous grin while approaching me.
"No!" I started to escape from her. "Stop it!" For the following ten minutes, we played a game of tag in the water. I was so exhausted at the end of it I just decided to leave.
"Oh come on Sam." Yoko complained. "I'm just playing with you."
"I'm out of energy. I'll see you later."
As soon as I left the bath house, two pairs of hand pulled me to the corner and pushed me against the wall.
"Well that sounded like fun." Kei's face was so close to mine. It wasn't as embarrassing as figuring out what he meant though.
"Did you hear us?" My eyes widened.
"I did, along with ten other students." I felt the hair at the back of my neck stand.
"Oh my God." I felt horrified.
"You're too cute." Kei grinned. "Don't worry, I beat up every single one of them until they became deaf." I pushed him lightly but he didn't budge. He got even closer to me. I'll come to your room at nine thirty, be ready. We're going out." And then he walked away.
I was lost for a few seconds. We were not supposed to leave the hotel. I felt my heart beating in my throat. 'Is it happening tonight?' I ran to the room and found Yoko eating some snacks on her bed.
"Why are you pale?"
"Kei just told me that we are going out after nine thirty." She jumped from the bed dropping all of her Pocky sticks.
"That's awesome! Did you bring sexy underwear? What are you wearing? Let me do your makeup..."
"Stop!" Yoko eyed me in surprise. "Sorry... I'm just nervous." Yoko walked to me and took my hand in hers.
"Relax, you guys love each other. You are the cutest couple I have ever seen. There is no reason for you to be nervous. You have known each other all your lives." For some reason, her words calmed me down. She gave me a hug and smiled sweetly at me. She was right, I loved Kei and he loved me. There is no reason to be nervous.
I got ready, putting some cute - but not sexy - underwear. Unfortunately I don't own those. I wore a blue summer dress that Amanda had gotten for me. After having to wear a skirt in school, I have gotten a little used to wearing dresses and girlish clothes. 'My mom would be proud.' I even let Yoko put some makeup on me.
At nine, one of the teachers stopped by our room to make sure we were in. I pretended I was asleep. And at nine thirty sharp, I heard a knock on the door. I opened and Kei hurried in.
"Are you ready, Sam?"
"Yes, I am." I looked at him for a moment and noticed how dashing he was.
"Let's go then." He slowly opened the door making sure no teachers were in the hallway. "Come on." He took my hand and pulled me as we started running toward the emergency stairs. We took the stairs down until the eighth floor, then the elevator till the basement. After that we took the stairs up that took us to the mall. Some stores were still open, but all my attention was given to Kei.
He was wearing a black button up shirt with jeans. He didn't have his contacts on, which was surprising. He also had a small backpack with him.
"Where are we going?" I finally broke the silence. He looked back at me with his dreamy eyes and smiled.
"It's a surprise." He winked at me. He was so cute!
We walked for twenty more minutes. His hand never left mine. The streets were getting empty but that made them even more beautiful. The lights were also gorgeous. We took one last turn before taking some stairs.
"Wow." We were at a river. I was amazingly beautiful.
"Come." Kei pulled me again and we walked to a quiet place on the edge of the river. "Close your eyes." Kei's voice was full of warmth. I obeyed. I heard some noise and I could tell Kei was getting some things out of his bag.
"Are you done?" After a few minutes of not answering.
"You can open your eyes." When I did I was welcomed by a Kei, sitting on a blanket with some snacks and drinks next to him. He had his hand extended to me. I was speechless. I took his hand and sat next to him. "What do you think of my surprise?" I looked at his innocent eyes and instantly felt bad for the past week. I had thought him to be a pervert and only think of sex. My eyes water a bit.
"It's perfect." I smile at him and he let out a small sigh of relief. 'Oh my gosh, he was nervous. He is too cute.' I just wanted to hug him, which I did. "Thank you."
"What would you like to drink,? We have melon soda, grape soda, tea, and water."
"I'll have some grape soda, please." Kei poured me a cup and handed it to me. I looked closer to the snacks he had displayed on the blanket, he had sushi, corn dogs, chocolate, melon bread, dumplings and rice crackers. I couldn't stop staring at him. Who would have thought that after all those years of a one-sided love, he would turn out to be the perfect boyfriend. I hugged him again.
"What is that for?"
"For you being an amazing boyfriend." He wrapped his right arm around me and squeezed me.
I was in bliss. We watched the reflection of the city lights in the river. We ate some delicious food. Then, we lied down in each other's arms and contemplated the stars.
"What do you want to do after high school, Sam?" His question came out of the blue. I looked at him but he was still staring at the decorated dark sky.
"I don't know yet. But I think I want to become a doctor. I was always fascinated by how the human body heals... What about you?"
"Well, I'm thinking of going to Business School because I will be taking over the family business."
"Really, I didn't know you wanted to be in the theater business."
"Well, it's more have to than want to. Plus, it's as close as I can get to Kabuki." A chill ran down my body. It might have been the breeze picking up, but I think it was the sadness I felt in Kei's voice. I squeezed him closer to me drinking up his irresistible scent.
"I love you, Kei." He finally looked away from the stars and into my face.
"I love you too." His lips softly crushed mine and I found myself lost in feelings I never wanted to end. The magic of our surroundings added to the romance. I felt I was in a dream. As Kei continued kissing me, my body was getting to a new state, a state that I was a stranger to. I wanted to touch him more, I wanted to feel him more. I was losing control over my body little by little.
"We have to go back, babe." Kei pulled away from me and left me out of breath.
"Of course." I got up as fast as I could. I was so embarrassed by all the feelings that were flowing in my body. I was really flushed but I was thankful to the Kyoto night to hide it.
We walked back to the hotel silently and snuck into the staircase. Went to the first floor and took the elevator to the eighth floor. We then took the stairs again to the eleventh floor. As we approached the door to the hallway, I felt blood rush to my head and my heart pumping as fast as an African drum. I pulled Kei back right before he opened the door.
"What are you doing, Sam?"
I closed my eyes and reached with my hands to palm his face. I crushed my lips on his with such a force that we both crashed on the wall. I felt a moment of hesitation cross Kei. But his hands betrayed him as he pulled me closer to his body and kissed me even more intensely. I heard my voice letting out some moans but I didn't care.
"Kei." His name escaped my lips with an unrecognized voice.
"Sam... We can't do this." He breathed. He tried to pull away but I held tighter.
"Kei, don't let me go." I felt the impact of my words on Kei when he dived again into my mouth. We both lost ourselves once again in a magical kiss out of this world.
"Sam, someone might find us."
"Kei, I want to sleep with you." Once more, my words had an impact on Kei, but this time his hands yanked me back as he eyed me with a huge shock. As I tried to take in some much needed air, my brain caught up with my mouth and I realized what I had just said.
"What did you say?" Kei's voice came low and threatening.
"I... I don't know what I said." My face betrayed me.
"Don't play games with me, Sam."
"I... I said, I want to... to..." Sam yanked me and slammed me into the wall. Long gone was the sweet Kei who prepared a romantic picnic for us by the river. He was replaced by an intense Kei whose eyes were shining with desire.
"Say it." His warm breath caressed my cheek. We held each other's gazes fiercely. We were both out of breath. I don't know where I found the courage to repeat what I had said, but I did.
"I want to sleep with you... Kei."
