Flashback #2
One year later after I met Kika we are just talking on the webcam on our computers. Is 1 PM here and 3 in the morning over there in Tokyo.
K-Hey, I just got home from work.
-Tired?
K-I feel tired but I'm more excited to be speaking to you at last.
-Me too. You know, wait, let me look at you. A bit before you take off the uniform.
K-This far enough?
-Perfect.
She turns slowly and her nurse uniform is so very cute on her.
K-And?
-You look good. Very, very good.
K-Thank you. Hey, is there any way we can meet in person? As soon as you can.
-I'm working extra hours to accumulate more vacation days so I can spend more time with you. I don't know when I'm going but hopefully it'll be soon.
K-I get you. I'm also working extra hours at both jobs. I'll.......excuse me, sorry, I'll let you know.
-Me too. Go to sleep. You need it.
K-You're right, see you soon then. Bye bye.
-Bye.
We both hang up and with a sigh I go back to work.
End of flashback
Back to present time one year after flashback 2
I laugh loudly at her joke and clearing my throat I calm down.
-So, Kika, can I ask you a question? I've been meaning to ask you for some time now but...........
K-What is it?
I gulp the lump of nervousness in my throat and I speak aloud.
-Would you be my girlfriend?
K-Girlfriend?
-I know long distance relationships are hard to maintain but I do feel like we, something between us would work even at a distance.
K-Bolt!
I look at her and she smiles.
K-I think that we could work as well. I was waiting for you to ask.
-Really?
K-I don't think you noticed but I fell in love with you from the moment I first saw you.
-Is that why you kissed me that time?
K-It is. I remember how you looked at me afterwards.
-I was surprised and confused, I liked you but did you liked me? I'm glad you liked me back since then.
K-Me too. And hey, now we need to rush our vacations a bit. I'm dying for a kiss.
-Just a kiss?
K-Depends on when, where we meet.
-Definitely. Love you.
K-Love you more.
We cut off the call and I head to bed at last. She said yes. She's my girlfriend now. I'm going to meet her again at last after two years. I sigh happy and so I turn to sleep at last dreaming of her.

A few weeks later we manage to organize a trip so I fly to Tokyo, Japan. I got an offer for a one month family vacation. We paid it together and I did my part and persuaded dad and my sisters to come along. My sisters are happy and excited about the trip and dad is too but he's a bit suspicious by my insistence on going to Tokyo Japan and not Hawaii, Florida or Acapulco but they still agreed to come. They don't know about Kika at all but Kika knows they're coming. She is preparing the house for them to stay as well and I, of course, am going to stay and sleep with her on her room. Right now we are on our way to the gate in the airport to catch our flight. We still got to wait an hour and so I turn to text her while I listen to music.
-Hi.
K-Boarding yet?
-In an hour.
K-So, you should be here at 8, maybe 9 in the morning tomorrow.
-Or maybe 6 to seven night today.
K-He. Both true.
-I am not sure if to call this a flight or a night flight.
K-Call it a flight of love.
-Why?
K-Because you're coming to see me.
I laugh and getting up from my seat I turn to look by the window how they prepare the plane for us to board it as I call her. She answers instantly.
K-Hey.
-Hi. I'm looking at the plane of love right now.
K-The plane.........what do you mean?
-Well, they're cleaning the plane from the prior flight, filling the tank of gas and everything else.
K-Does your family know I'm going to pick you all up?
-No, dad suspects but he still doesn't knows anything.
K-Do they know they're staying on the same room?
-They do. They didn't complaint at all but they have the wrong reasoning.
K-What do you mean?
-They will sleep on the same room and I will have my own in case I bring anyone home. Little do they know that I'm staying with my girlfriend.
K-I wish you were here already.
-Me too.
K-Oh and, I switch the bedrooms. The three of them got the master room and you and I will take the small one. Both rooms have closet and their own bathroom so, there's no big difference besides the size.
-I don't mind a small room as long as I share it with you.
K-We will have to squeeze tightly together.
I laugh at that and noticing movement I turn to see people boarding.
-We're boarding now. See you in nine maybe ten hours.
K-I'll send you a picture of how I'm going so you can find me easily.
-And I'll do the same. Bye, love you, see you.
K-Love you on the love plane. Bye.
I hang up and turning it airplane mode we board the plane. Is first class, big plane, two floors and we go on our seats. I sit and with a sigh I lean back and adjust myself.
-Wake me Tokyo.
So-Bolt.
-Hmm?
So-Sleep well.
-We will arrive at 9 AM on Tokyo.
Ly-Bolt, you fixed everything right?
-Yes, a free vacation for you both and dad.
Yolanda-Thanks for that baby brother.
-Sure, wathever. Sleep now because it will be morning when we get there.
With that I turn to sleep at last and I assume they do too.

Sora POV
Once we arrive in Tokyo that we get our luggage at last I ask my son where are we headed.
-Bolt, where to now?
Bo-One moment, I'm looking. It was over here somewhere............
?-Bolt!
We both turn to where the voice comes from, on the upper floor there is a girl rushing down the stairs. Bolt rushes too and they meet at the end of the stairs. I feel a pull from my sleeves.
Ly-Dad, who is that woman hugging our brother?
-No idea but I'm suspecting.
Yo-Later because he looks happy right now.
-Alright.
We let Bolt continue. I see how he holds the girl up for a moment, her legs are wrapped around his waist tightly and they're holding to each other tightly. We wait patiently and for a moment I'm glad he finally puts her down but I scream internally as they kiss and it lasts quite a bit before they turn to us.
Bo-Dad, come on, let's go eat.
With that we follow her to the car and I sit in the back with the girls and, not surprisingly, Bolt goes in the front passenger with her driving.
?-I'm sorry, I don't believe we introduced ourselves. I'm Kika. You must be Sora, right?
-Indeed, I'm beginning to see why Bolt insisted on coming here for vacation.
Bo-It was a surprise, did you liked it?
Ly-You really are the sneaky little devil.
Yo-How long you have known each other?
Bo-Two years.
K-Oh, right, quick question. Do you want to drop the bags first and then eat or eat and then go home?
-Girls.
Yo-I rather eat.
Ly-Yeah, if I get home now I'm going to fall asleep instantly. Better fall asleep after a nice food.
-We should eat.
K-Eating it is. How does buffet sound for you?
-Excellent.
Ly & Yo-Yes.
Bo-Delicious.
K-Buffet, here we go.
She takes a turn and so we go to the restaurant.

Bolt POV
As we eat in the buffet restaurant I steal a bit of sushi from my girlfriends dish until she gives me a look.
K-Could you stop eating my sushi?
-Hmm, I'm hungry.
K-Eat yours.
-Yours is better.
K-Alright then, take mine and I'll take yours.
She switches our dishes and I take a bite from my dish now hers.
K-Really?
I make it so the chopsticks are talking and I mimick her.
-Really?
I eat it and she tries hard not to smile hiding it with her drink as she drinks it.
-I can still see your smile.
So-Bolt.
-Ok I get it.
Ly-This food is amazing, a great place this is.
K-Thanks. Is my favorite because it also delivers and stays open late so I can stop anytime I want.
Ly-Even better then.
So-Still, it can't beat homecooked meals, can it?
K-Actually, it kind of does. I never learned how to cook. I can make the simple stuff, a sandwich or in the microwave but everything else, is practically the only thing I couldn't learn to do.
Yo-How come?
K-Between studying and working late I just got takeout food. So, don't be surprised when at home, the kitchen is practically new.
Ly-So, do we all really fit in your house?
K-Sure. Is not like we have all the space in the world but we don't have that little either. Is, cozy?
So-Is that why you asked us three to sleep together? You could always sleep girls in one room and boys in the other but I hope you don't talk while you sleep.
K-Why?
-Don't play along with him. He's just trying to scare you off.
I hold her to me protectively and we finish our food in silence before we turn to go home at last.

Once we get home dad and my sisters go to their room and I go with Kika to her, now our, room. She helps me unpack and once I'm done we lie down on the bed together.
K-I'm glad you're here.
-Me too.
K-How do you feel? About this, us.
-I'm happy, excited, scared but...............
K-But?
-I want to face everything that comes, with you. I...........I love you.
She cuddles closer and tighter to me and I hug her back.
K-I love you too.
We kiss, deeper than in the airport, longer, more passionate, more heated.
-Kika.
I kiss her neck, her neck and just as I turn to kiss her lips I feel something crawl against my leg. In instant I dismiss it and I keep kissing my girlfriend and that's when I feel it again but this time is upper on my body.
-What was that?
K-What?
-I felt something brush against my leg.
K-My body maybe.
-No is.........
I turn and the words die in my throat as I see a nice crawling on the bed. I twitch and turning to her I speak shakily.
-Get it off from me.
K-Bolt.
Jumping from the bed I scream aloud.
-Take it off! Take it off! Ahh. Take it off, help me, take it off!
I stop when I feel someone holding me back and I calm down enough to see Kika on the bed holding the pillow, Lyra has the little white mice that scared me and Yolanda is looking at me.
Yo-Are you calm?
-It wants to kill me. I'm not calm.
So-It doesn't want to kill you.
-Of course it is, I mean, just look at it.
Ly-What?
-Creepy red eyes, white as a ghost, sharp teeth with deathly diseases and it..........
Remembering that it touched me I groan in disgust.
-It touched me, ugh. Ok, I'm good, just, I'm taking a bath and go to sleep and I'll forget this ever happened.
So-Do that.
They leave the room and Kika comforts me a little bit more before I take a shower, she takes one after and then we cuddle to sleep together.

To be continued..............................
