Ten days since Zen note-boomed him with “You Are Mine,” and then nothing. What the hell was the guy trying to pull? Ten days of me startling every time the phone at his desk rang. Ten days of staring aimlessly at the elevator doors as if by magic Zen would walk through them. I was at the photoshoot of the Milan Fashion show. “Pull your head out of your ass, Amy,” someone said through chattering teeth. “What the hell are you doing out here?” Daniel called from the entrance of the tent. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.” I closed his eyes and sent up a silent prayer for strength. . “Come on!” Daniel whined. “I’m freezing my cute tush off.” "You know i am still mad at you for taking me to place like that" i yelled at him. "I already said sorry for that you remember", he answered me. I laughed at seeing him pout. Then i went to where the shoot was. They were taking photos of someone modeling for them. I couldn't see the person because the light board stick in my sight. I walked
Zen threw me into the backseat of a waiting Audi R8 with little care then slipped in after me. As he pulled the door shut, he barked instructions at the driver in Japanese, and even before i could protest we were already on the road. Zen didn’t even wait for me to regain my composure and yanked me forward by his slim necktie and crushed my mouth with a punishing kiss. Zen used this opportunity to force his way in, taking full control. He nipped, sucked, licked. Punishing yet arousing at the same time. My brain shut down in seconds and gave myself into the kiss. Despite the nipping and bruising pressure, the hisses of pain quickly became moans of desire. But, just as i began to participate in the kiss, Zen broke away, easing his bulk to the other side of the backseat. I was supposed to be the one annoyed at his action but all my annoyance swept away as i opened my closed eyes to find him pouting and him resting his chin on a tight fist, his face looking out onto the crowded sidewalk as
It seemed the entire city celebrated the success of the House of Hatori couture show. Words like innovative, genius, the future of fashion were bandied about. Already the women were swooning over which ones to purchase. Its been eight hours since i heard anything from Zen. I have been worried since last night since he seemed so shocked when he was on the phone. And here i couldn'd pull my the courage to make myself call him or text him about his whereabouts. He just said sorry and said bye and rushed to wherever it was. My thoughts drifted to last night- **************FLASHBACK**************** I had taken my second sip when Zen’s driver arrived at our table. The man seemed to be even larger than Zen if that was possible. I only noticed because they didn’t have the barrier of the front seat between them. What looked like the tattoo of Japanese umbrella-pine tree, kōyamaki peeked out of the man’s collar. Out of respect, he removed the cap he wore to reveal a closely shaven head the
Its been days since he left me hanging again with that delicious surfs and turfs. The phone call the day after was the last I heard from him. I tried calling him many times but I was always disappointed by no answer from the other side. Time flew so fast and days got rushed for me at Mode as I was assigned a new designing assignment. Every now and then Miss. Pierce assigns me with this type of challenges. I totally forgot about not getting in touch with Zen these few days. I was to design a full collection for showcasing at a fashion show for the rising designer column this year. I was busy the whole day seated at my desk thinking of designs that could define me. There were scrambled paper here and there on the floor and I was seated with no ideas that sounded exciting.As I busy working I saw Mr. Hatori coming in the office through the glass wall. I decided to ask him about Zen's behaviour of leaving me behind without any explanation and not keeping in touch with me, tha habit of hi
As I opened my eyes next morning I was blissful. I felt so good about the night we spent together. As I scrolled through my room he was not in the room. The sadness crept to me as train of thoughts ran through me. Has he left me again. Is he going to disappear again. As I was busy panicking the door to my room opened. And there he was in my sweats hanging slightly lower to his hips through which I could see his bulge. He had a tray on his hands. He smiled at me as came towards me. He sat on the edge of the bed and took hold of my cheeks and placed a slight peck on my forehead. " Goodmorning beautiful" he said as he smile. "Goodmorning handsome" I blushed.I looked towards him. To my surprise how could a man look so handsome and bright right in the morning. I stared at him and he caught me. "What?" He asked confused. "Do I have something on my face" he started wiping his face. I smiled as I reached out to his cheek bones "No it's just you. You look damn gorgeous this morning Zen"An
The day finally came when I had to meet Zen's parents. The thought has been stressing me out since last week when I had my first Confrontation with Zen about his small secret that was hell as small as an elephant. Smiling to myself at the thought. Zen I had been together since that night going on dates. He telling me things about himself and me telling him mine. It's been nice but thought of me meeting his parents who happens to be king and queen was too much to handle for me. Zen picked me up from my apartment and he drove me this fancy restaurant with high end tables and cutleries all over the place. The interior was amazingly done. The essence of traditional feelings was kept in mind with the designs. He led me to a secluded place I guessed was a private cabin for guests. When we reached at the door Zen looked at me with a smile. "Are you okay?"he asked me. I nodded in reply. "Let's do it then" saying those he opened the door and gestured me to enter. Once we were inside I sa
Zen and me reached my apartment. He walked over to me and opened the door for me. He closed the door behind me. He came closer to me and hugged me before giving a peck on my lips. "Goodbye Haru", he said to me. "Are you not staying with me tonight" I asked him. "No Haru. I have some urgent work to take care of" he answered me. I turn to walk towards my apartment. I saw the lights to my apartment on. I recalled myself switching it off before I left for the dinner with Zen's parents. I looked back at Zen as he was starting to drive way. I didn't want him to worry so I just walked to my apartment getting cautious. The thoughts running through me as how or who has broke into my apartment. I called my mom to check if she was here to see me. But to my disappointment it wasn't her. I started panicking. I thought maybe I forgot to off but as clear as I remember I switch it off. I threw the thought away as I started to unlock the door. As to my surprise it was already unlocked. As I slowly
I woke up next morning on my bed. I remembered us watching tv as I dozed off. He must have carried me to bed last night. I searched for him in the place beside me on the bed and to my disappointment he wasn't there. I heard noise from the living room. I assumed him cooking for me again. I got up from my room as I wore the shirt Zen wore last night when he came to my apartment. It smelled amazing like Zen was all over it. I walked out the room and saw him on the kitchen station in my camos that were too small for him, drops of water dripping from his hair I guessed it was from the shower as he swaying his hips as he was breaking eggs into a bowl. I chuckled at the amusing sight before me. I walked towards him as he noticed me walk to him. He was checking me up and down as if he could undress me just by staring at me. "I see you've been cooking again" I said to him. "I see you're in my shirt again" he said winking. I neared him hugging him from behind as I placed a peck on the back of
I was really tired from all the ride to different places. The party starts at seven so I decided to take a nap for a while. I fell down on the bed as I froze into sleep in few seconds. When I woke up it was half past six. I woke up as I walked into the bathroom to have shower before getting myself ready for the party. I walked out the bathroom in a bathrobe. As soon as I walked the door I was startled by the sight of Zen standing at the middle of the room. His gaze met mine. He came closer to me as he pulled me into a kiss. He urged for entry as he started playing with my lips with his tongue. I gave in as he started exploring my mouth twisting with my tongue. "I need to get ready" I said pulling myself away from him. "Ok" he said standing there gazing at me. I gave him a confused look. "What?" He said grinning. "Get out" I said. "Oh! Please don't be shy Haru. I have seen you already" he said implying seeing me naked already. "Zen just go" I said blushing. "Okay" he said as I
Once we were on the main lane I looked towards Zen and smiled. He smiled back at me. "So where are we headed?" I asked. "Lets see" I said. "First we head to Sensō-ji , then to Meiji Shrine and then have lunch. After that we go to Tokyo skytree and then to Shinjuku Gyo-en " he looked at me and smiled. "So tell me something about the first place we are visiting" I asked him. "So, Sensō-ji is an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa. It is Tokyo's oldest temple, and one of its most significant an ancient Buddhist temple here" he said. After some driving through the city we reached to the location. It was beautiful temple. Before we reach the temple, we came in to a street with shops lined up. As we were going through it Zen looked t me and smile. "This street is known as Nakamise-dōri street" he said. As we strided through the street I could see shops with traditional goods along with small diners. We further adventured through the street to enter the entrance of the temple. H
It was around ten in the morning when I reached my mom's place along with the necessity that I would need. I knocked at the door. Mom opened the door for me. GM was already here all packed up. I saw dad pulling out a trolley out of thier bedroom. And mom checking all the doors and stuff. I hugged my dad as he smiled down on me. "So, are you ready?" I asked him. "For what?" He asked. "To meet his parents" I said. "Think so" he said smiling. Our flight was around seven in the evening. My parents and I were planning to stay at my grandparent's for some time since we were going to Tokyo after so many years all together. We asked GM to stay along with us but she denied cause she had to come back to work immediately as there was a fashion show coming up. We packed all our belongings had a last once more confirmation before we left the house. It wasaround five in the evening when we headed out from mom's place. After an hour's drive we arrived at John F. Kennedy international airport an
Next day I was busy in my cabin when Kiara came in with a bouquet of white calla lilies. As soon as I saw it I knew it was from Zen. She came in to my cabin with a smile that stretched from her one ear to another. She came as she placed the bouquet on the table. "This came for you" she said smiling. I smiled back at her. "Gonna tell me, who keeps on sending you this flowers" she asked. I smiled at her, cause I know she knew. Obviously the whole world knew by now I thought to myself. "You know it Kiara. But still asking me" I replied back to her. "I know Haru. But I wanna hear from you" she asked me back. "I am not tellin" I said to her and gestured her to leave. She smiled back at me, as she saw me turning red. After she left I took the note that was attached to it. "Haru, I had to head back to Tokyo. Some work came up. I didn't wanted to disturb you by calling. So I send this to you. Love you. I'll call you later". I smiled at his silliness, still distracted enough. It was
It was almost the day of the year I hated the most, valentines day. But for a change now I didn't know what to think, now that I was in a relationship that too a good one. I didn't know to be happy or hate it as I have been doing for last few years. To think it as happy and good day as I met Zen for the first time on this fateful day or still linger on those unpleasant memories of my past relationship. In between all those things I just realised that it has been a year since I met him on this day last year. I threw all those thoughts out of my head as I decided to make the day special for Zen. I decided to keep it a secret. As I was thinking of surprising him my cell phone rang. I zoomed into my phone to see Zen's name flashing on it. I picked the call and said hello. "Hey" he replied from the other side. "What are you doing". "Nothing much and you" I replied. "Hey listen valentines day is in few days. What do you want me to get you" he asked. I was about to say but he cut me off
I was back in New York. I thanked god for not letting my parents know that I was kidnapped and as well as I got out of it. At first GM was suspicious that something was wrong with me. Then after sometime she gave up when I decided to pour our lies on her. It was almost time for our spring collection. By spring I remembered the cherry blossoms at Ryeo's garden. The scent of those still lingering in my noses. I made calls to the designers for the spring collection to send us the samples so that we could select the featured designs. It was a busy day. I had sort out the models. As we were short on male models, I decide to ask Zen to fill the gap. Hectic load of works had to be done before the showcase in a few days. The photoshoots were not even started yet. I walked into the reception area where the cubicles were located as I asked them work faster. I let kiara to go and fetch the samples for the designs from the designer's house. It was about six in the evening. I decided to call it
Next day in the early morning I decided to call GM and my mom to tell them that I had to leave to Tokyo with Zen. Ofcourse I had to lie, I couldn't possibly tell them that I was abducted. Since I was already in Tokyo I decided to visit my grandparents home. I looked to the side where Zen was sound asleep. I could look at him sleeping so peacefully whole day I thought to myself. A smile crept on my face. "Haru keep staring at me any longer and I swear I won't let get up from this bed", he said grinning. I flushed at his comment as I quickly got up from the bed as I literally ran and head towards the bathroom to get fresh. When I came back out I saw Zen standing at the balcony enjoying the morning breeze. I walked towards him as I hug him from behind. He turned back to me as he tried to kiss me. I placed my fore finger on his lips as I nodded my hand side ways. "No, Zen first go and brush", I said chuckling. He poured at me. I placed a kiss on his cheeks at his childish act. He smil
When I woke up it was dark outside. The room's light was lit. I looked to the wall clock hanging in the room. It was six in the evening. I got up from the bed. Next thing I remembered was Zen calling out my name from downstairs. I literally ran out my room to see him subdued by the guys that I saw this morning at the airport. Ryeo sitting at the couch the same place where he was seated when I had asked him for the bathing stuff. "Oh my my, who do we have here?" Ryeo said in a very loud tone. "If it's not the prince itself" he added. "Ryeo where the hell is Haru?" Zen asked in anger. "Where are your manners brother. Not even greeting your elder brother" he said grinning. Zen eyes wandered all over the place till his eyes met mine I could see tears rolling down his cheeks. "Haru" he called my name in a very tainted tone. "Thank God you're ok" he added. Ryeo looked up to me. "Oh I see, Haru you have heard your love's call" he said. "Ryeo leave him" I said to him. "And why would
We arrived to a big mansion after I guessed was an hour drive. We entered the gate driving through a green lushious garden with beautiful sakura trees lined up along the road. It took about ten minutes drive to reach the mansion. The mansion was big enough to be a college building. The front yard had a beautiful fountain with a statue of a Japanese women in kimono with a flask through which water was flowing out. We entered a drive way beneath the mansion as valet came as they opened the door for us. As Ryeo stepped out they bow to them addressing them Ryeo-San. Then the two men who dragged me at the airport came to me as they dragged me out again and let me into the mansion. Ryeo told to an old women in her early fourties something while looking at me which I couldn't make out. The woman approached me as she bowed to me and led me up a stairs. We arrived to door I guessed was a room. She opened the door as she let me in. "Would you like something Salvador-san" she asked me in nihong
