Abe praised my dress and did a formal introduction between the man he was standing with and myself.I got to know he was one of Dai's older brothers, while we were chatting Abe called a waiter who had variety of drinks on a tray to serve me. I opted for the fruit cocktail which was very delicious.Sipping my drink and making small talk with the gentlemen, that's when I saw plastic Barbie approaching us on those heels that were meant for runway shows. No wonder she was so clingy to Dai. "Hey there hotties" she referred to Abe and Dai's Brother who just ignored her."hope your enjoying the party Juni?"Abe asked her keeping his calm even though I could see some uneasiness on his face.

I can't call her up so we can go since we have only been there for an hour and it's a chance for her to enjoy her night since she got a nanny for her daughter.This part of town seems isolated, but there are many gated houses around the area which makes it so quiet and isolated. It's like there's no form of interaction between the residence.I wonder if I could get an Uber to come this part of town, I should try to book one. I open the Uber app and start scrolling through to see if I could book an uber to come this area "You look so stunning and beautiful" I here the voice of the man that has me catching feelings."Dai?! what are you doing out here?" I'm surprised Plastic Juni let him wonder around."Let me take

Dai's POVDahlia slept off some minutes after we entered Okayama and watching her chest rise and fall as she sleeps soundly has me in a daze. Stopping at a red light I turn to position her head so her neck doesn't hurt when we arrive.Taking a few minutes to admire her beauty under the street lights of the city, even without foundations of cosmetic products she'll still look so beautiful. She's got that innocent glow which is so inviting like a seductive spell.Following the GPS directions I make a U-turn and round the block which I assume to be the apartment area when Lia lives. Driving through I count the luxurious apartments until I arrive at Gated apartment 6.Turning to Lia which takes me another two minutes to admire her beauty, "Lia........wake up, we're here" I whisper. She stirs and opens her eyes, that's when I realized how close I was to her.Staring down at her face something is pulling me forward to her lips and before I realize I'm kissing her in a slow and passionate ma

Dai's POVDue to the hard-on caused by Lia I couldn't get anything done when I got home. Had to take a bath twice before going to bed which wasn't helping my situation. I kept tossing in bed willing sleep to consume me, thinking about Lia and what her reply to my proposal will be.Something keeps calling my whole being and soul to Lia, it could be lust or something more but there's only one way to find out.
