Like, OMG this picture ❤️ ^^ Don't belong to me btw.

Soryu's POV

After Ayame and Eisuke left, I turned towards Suzuki.

Soryu: "Is something wrong, Suzuki?"

Suzuki: "Huh? No, why do you ask?"

Soryu: "Hm.. It's nothing. Should we head to our room?"

Suzuki: "Um... Sure.."

Soryu: "..."

Suzuki and I left the lounge and quietly made our way to my room. Suzuki was silent the whole time.

I think I know why she's so quiet.. But should I really tell her the truth? Will she get upset? Or mad? What if she asks for a break up after knowing the truth..?

Soryu: "Suzuki.."

Suzuki: "..."

She looks over at me curiously.

Soryu: "I..."

What should I say? If I'm going to tell her the truth, I would want to go over it with Ayame first.

Suzuki: "Soryu.."

Soryu: "!"

Suzuki: "Can you.. Tell me what Ayame is to you?"

Soryu: "..... I'm sorry.... I can't.. Goodnight Suzuki."

Without another word, I headed into my room.. Heavy thoughts in my head.

I'm sorry, Suzuki..

Next Morning

Eisuke's POV

The annoying bright as hell sunlight, that was shining through the blinds, was what woke me up.

Eisuke: "How annoying."

I huffed in annoyance. I huffed again when I glanced over at the alarm clock, reading 5:00.

Eisuke: "Seriously.. This is just great."

I mumbled, sarcasm obvious in my words.

Ayame: "..."

Eisuke: "Ah, right.. Ayame."

Still sleeping peacefully beside me, was Ayame, who looked as if she didn't have a care in the world. If anyone would've seen her right now, they wouldn't think that's she's actually a mafia queen.

Eisuke: "What the hell am I doing, watching her like this?"

I asked myself in disbelief as I quickly looked away.

Why does this woman interest me so much even though we hardly know each other?

Turning back towards her, I'd noticed that there were stray strands of hair that was covering her face. I leaned over, about to brush them away from her face when I quickly found myself pinned with the redhead straddling me with an amused smirk on her face.

Ayame: "Letting your guard down like that can cause trouble, Mr. Ichinomiya."

Eisuke: "Hmph, so you were awake?"

Ayame: "But of course. I had to keep a close eye on my client, you know."

With a shrug, she rolled off of me, landing perfectly on her feet. She combed her hair back and placed her hands on her hips.

Ayame: "Please be more cautious in the future, Mr. Ichinomiya. Though one can look innocent, they can be feisty."

Eisuke: "... I'll make sure to be more careful."

Ayame nods slowly and stretches, me turning away.

Eisuke: "Did you even sleep at all?"

Ayame: ".. It would be troublesome if I were to be in a deep sleep when someone attacks."

Eisuke: "I'll take that as a no then."

Ayame: "Though I wouldn't say that it wasn't useful or anything. I can't remember the last time I had a good nights sleep. So thank you."

Eisuke: "You're welcome."

I replied, sighing as I sat up in bed. I lazily fixed my bed head, which I was sure I had, with my right hand. When I was sure I looked presentable, I turned my attention towards Ayame who was stifling a laugh.

Eisuke: "Huh? What is it?"

Ayame: "Haha! S-sorry! It's nothing, I can assure you."

She waves away, even though I could clearly see the amused look still on her face.

Ayame: "Anyways, it is only five. And your meeting is at noon. Do you plan on sleeping in til then or would you like breakfast?"

I got out of bed and glanced back at the clock.

(Only a little past 5...)

Eisuke: "There's no point in sleeping in. I do not want to be late for today's meeting."

Ayame: "Then breakfast it is."

Ayame said as she clapped once, turning away. She suddenly stopped and turned back towards me.

Ayame: "If you don't mind me asking.. Is it alright if I were to wash up first? Then I can prepare your breakfast afterwards."

I gave a slight nod as I walked towards my closet to pick out what I was going to wear for the meeting.

Eisuke: "You can go ahead.. You do know that I could ask the staff to bring up breakfast if you don't want to cook."

Ayame immediately shook her head.

Ayame: "That won't do, Mr. Ichinomiya.. What if someone were to poison your food?"

Eisuke: "Why would they do that? That's a waste of food."

Ayame: "Well.. Wasting the food is probably the last thing on their minds when they are trying to get rid of somebody. Please remember that anyone in this hotel can be your enemy. You must always be cautious of your surroundings."

Eisuke: "Alright, fine then. You can make the breakfast.. However, you must fulfill a task before doing so."

Ayame: "Hm? And what's that?"

Eisuke: ".. Drop the formalities."

Ayame's eyes widened in surprise.

Ayame: "Ah, I guess I had been switching back and forth between informal and formal formalities huh.. I apologize for that.. I'm not really THAT used to being informal with my client. I'll be careful from now on."

Eisuke: "Make it so. You being formal here -in my own bedroom- puts me on edge. It's bad enough that I woke up with a bed head."

Ayame: "Haha, but it's cute though.."

Eisuke: "... Don't you have breakfast to make? Go wash up, then get to it."

Ayame: "Yes, sir!"

Ayame saluted with a giggle as she made her way into the bathroom.

I shook my head, an amused smirk on my face.

Eisuke: "What an interesting woman.."

Glancing back at the clock, I sighed and started unbuttoning my clothes..

GOTTA FAST-FORWARD BECAUSE...

(Eisuke: Pf, you wish you can afford to see me undress.

Jenny: Pf, that's what Google images is for, you dumbass..

Eisuke: What did you call me?!

Jenny: Ahem! Annndddd continue!

Eisuke: Hey!--)

TIMESKIP!!~

Ayame's POV

As scheduled, we were to have a meeting at a nearby fancy cafe. Eisuke and I have just arrived here and were escorted into one of the private rooms where a man and a younger looking man were sitting there talking amongst themselves. Once they had noticed our presence, they both stood up. The older man was the first one who started talking, shaking Eisuke's hand...

???: "Mr. Ichinomiya, thank you so much for coming."

Eisuke: "Likewise. I apologize for my recent absence. Things have been busy at my hotel that I could not leave."

???: "No, that's quite alright. I understand. You are very successful after all."

Eisuke chuckled.

Eisuke: "I wouldn't go that far."

The younger man, who was silent this whole time, turned his attention towards me.

???: "Might I ask who this beautiful woman is, Mr. Ichinomiya?"

Eisuke: "Ah, please excuse me. I hope that you won't mind, standing next to me is someone who's very important to me. I want her to always be by my side, including in meetings such as this. This is my girlfriend, Hitomi Hoshi."

FLASHBACK

Ayame: "You want me to have an undercover name?"

I questioned at Eisuke who was fixing his tie in front of the mirror. He fixed his gaze on me from the mirror as he said....

Eisuke: "In case if people were to recognize you as Ayame Yuki, the leader of the Flamed Phoenixes."

Ayame: "Ah, that makes sense... I'll try to think of a name then.."

Eisuke: "No need to. I already did as I had suggested this."

Ayame: "You did?"

Eisuke: "Yeah, I did."

Turning around, he flashed his confident smirk.

Eisuke: "Your undercover name will be.. Hitomi Hoshi."

Ayame: "Huh?"

Eisuke: "Hm? Something wrong?"

Ayame: "No, nothing like that. It's just... Can I ask why you had chosen that name?"

Eisuke shrugged.

Eisuke: "No particular reason, really. Just thought it suits you."

Ayame: "Oh, well thank you. I love it."

I smiled at Eisuke who suddenly dropped his gaze, clearing his throat.

Eisuke: "Ah, and your outfit is in that box."

Eisuke pointed to a wrapped box that was sitting on top of his dresser.

Ayame: "Thank you."

I nodded my thanks and got off his bed, making my way towards the box. I took the clothes out of the box and of course, went to change in the bathroom. I later came back out and stood in front of the mirror, making sure I looked presentable. Eisuke was now sitting on his bed, arms crossed.

Eisuke: "I think your hair would look better with that dress if it was up."

Ayame: "Ah, you think so? I always had my hair down so I never thought of it that way.."

I put my hair up in a ponytail and turned back towards the mirror.

Ayame: "Wow.. I look so different.. Almost like a whole new person..."

Eisuke got up and made his way over towards me, holding something in hand.

Eisuke: "Hold still.."

Ayame: "Huh?"

I gasped slightly when I felt something cold on the back of my neck. My gaze dropped slightly towards Eisuke's hands to see him fastening a heart shaped locket necklace. When it was fastened, he backed away slightly, as if to get a better view of me. He crossed his arms, a satisfied smirk on his face.

Eisuke: "I think it's passable, don't you think?"

He questions as he walks back toward his bed, grabbing his phone from the top of his dresser.

Eisuke: "I'm going to call for the car."

Ayame: "Of course, go ahead."

I nodded in understanding as I watched him place his phone next to his ear.

I eventually got bored of watching him talk so I decided to see how I looked in the full length mirror.

I gasped in awe, unbeknownst to me that Eisuke had just finished his call, and was now watching me silently, mumbling to himself with a small smile...

Eisuke: "Right now, you don't look like a mafia queen.. You can now be an ordinary woman, Ayame."

END OF FLASHBACK

So.. From now on, my name will be Hitomi Hoshi... At least in meetings that is.. But now that I think about it.. This is Japan... I started this group in Hong Kong.. I never been to Japan, so how would people recognize me?

Eisuke: "Hitomi, are you feeling alright?"

Ayame: "Huh? Oh, I'm sorry. As Eisuke had already said, my name is Hitomi Hoshi. Pleased to meet you."

I said with a bow in greeting.

???: "My my, Mr. Ichinomiya, I certainly did not know that you had a girlfriend. A very beautiful one at that."

The younger man says, a smile plastered on his face.

Eisuke: "Yes, she's very beautiful isn't she?"

Eisuke smirks, and I swore his smirk got slightly wider when he notices that my face is flushed.

Ayame: "A-hem... T-the meeting, Eisuke?"

Eisuke: "Heheh.. Right. For starters..."

Because the meeting was boring AF...

/ / /

Ayame's POV

Eisuke: "Finally." He tsked as we walked out of the cafe. With a giggle I said,

Ayame: "Oh, it wasn't that bad, Eisuke."

Eisuke: "I guess not. But that meeting took too long. They kept ordering drinks.. At least I didn't have to pay.."

Eisuke sighs, turning his head to the side.

Ayame: " Well, on the bright side, it's over. Was there somewhere else you would like to go? Any more meetings?"

Eisuke: "No, it was just this one for today."

Ayame: "I see. I guess we can make our way back to the hotel then. Maybe I should phone for the car?"

I questioned as I turned towards the direction of the hotel. Eisuke held out a hand, stopping me.

Eisuke: "If you don't mind. I have somewhere I would like to go."

Ayame: "Oh, sure. That's fine."

Eisuke: "Let's go then."

Eisuke turned on his heel, walking away with me in tow...

/ / /

Eisuke's POV

Eisuke: "This, this, this, and this."

I pointed as the sales person quickly plucked the clothing from its hangers. Ayame was standing beside me, eyes widening in shock.

Ayame: "What.. Eisuke, I didn't know that you liked cross dressing. Not that I'm judging or anything.."

I rolled my eyes.

Eisuke: "These aren't for me. They're for you, you idiot. Go try them on."

Ayame: "Huh? But why?"

Eisuke: "Just try them. I'll be waiting over there."

I gestured towards the couch that was a few ways in front of the changing curtains.

Ayame: "But!"

???: "Right this way, Miss."

The sales person parts the curtain with a smile.

Ayame looks back at me and with a dejected sigh, heads into the changing room as I took a seat on the comfy couch.

/ / /

PLZ DON'T BE MAD.. I love timeskips! DX

Eisuke: "Next."

I sighed, waving my hand.

Ayame: "Eisuke.. This is the fifth dress I've changed into. Aren't these three enough?"

Ayame points to the previous ones that she'd already tried out.

So far, three out the five looked good on her, but I'm still making her try on more dresses. Why? To give her an experience of being a regular woman. Not part of the mafia. But I'm sure as hell not going to tell her that.

Eisuke: "That's not enough. After this, we'll be heading towards the jewelry store."

Ayame: "Hah.. And I suppose there's nothing I can do to change your mind?"

Eisuke: "Nope."

Ayame nods slowly, about to go back into the changing room to try on another dress.

Eisuke: "You're not used to that aren't you?"

Ayame: "Shopping? I was never really a favorite of it."

Eisuke: "Not that. Being called beautiful."

Ayame: "... You mean.. Back at that meeting?"

I nodded and watched as Ayame looked away, a frown plastered on her face.

Ayame: "I mean... No one has called me that before."

Eisuke: "Baba did I believe."

Ayame: "Well.. I'm pretty sure he was joking.. But then again.. Maybe you were too. A girlfriend of yours has to be beautiful right?"

Ayame flashed me a small smile.

Ayame: "It's just.. For some reason.. Hearing that from you.. Made me feel.. Happy. Even if it was just a lie."

She whispered, disappearing behind the changing room curtain.

That.. Wasn't a lie, Ayame. You really are a beautiful star.. Hitomi Hoshi.

Boom! How was that?! XD

Oh and... SPRING BREAK!!! :D
