Chapter 19Climbing the remaining four steps up to meet Ai’s level, Reina looked her right in the eye.
“Of course I know Gaki-san’s yours. Never intended to mess with that.”
Taking in every line and curve that accentuated Ai’s attractive body with those wonky yet sexy eyes of hers, Reina felt like an artiste admiring the grandest masterpiece.
“Did anyone ever tell you how
hawt you are when you get aggressive?”
“Why are you hanging around her so much then?
“Are you trying to come between us?”
There were a million questions racing through Ai’s mind and every one of them was seeking the same answer - Reina’s motive.
“The reason for that is… to get you to come to me. And it worked perfectly too, even if I do say so myself.”
Ai was really confused now. What sort of a plan was Reina hatching. And how did it involve her and Gaki too.
There was the unmistakable certainty that something was up the young yankee’s sleeve.
“Get me to come to you?”
Nodding her head, Reina inched closer to Ai and slowly but surely forced her up against the wall. Recognizing that she had her prey cornered, Reina placing both hands on either sides of Ai and smiled like a triumphant hunter.
“I want you Ai-chan.”
“I want you
so bad.”
[Dance Studio]
“Gaki-san, where’s Ai-chan?”
Sayumi and Eri walked up to Risa with their arms linked.
“I need to ask her something.”
Sayumi pointed to a page of her script where a paragraph was highlighted in pink. While Eri stood beside her beaming like the proudest boyfriend.
“I really have no idea. She said she was leaving her room ages ago.”
Risa looked around the rapidly filling studio hoping to catch a glimpse if Ai. When she finally spotted her a couple of minutes later, Risa rushed up to her right away.
“You’re late Ai-chan. It’s totally unlike you to be late for practice.”
“Uhh I got held up.”
Ai replied sheepishly, failing to hide the little smile escaping her lips.
“Ai-chan, I need help!”
Sayumi’s voice was loud and the two heard her whine from across the room.
“Coming!”
Ai yelled back and jogged over to where KameiShige were sitting. But halfway there, she turned around and yelled back to Gaki.
“Don’t forget to invite Reina to the amusement park too!”
“Invite Reina to the amusement park?”
Risa fought the urge to exclaim loudly. Did she hear right. Ai-chan was actually asking her to invite Reina along.
Replaying in her mind what happened the previous night, Risa was sure a look of annoyance had appeared on Ai’s face when she first made the suggestion.
[In Front of the Mirrors]
Satisfied with Ai’s tutorage, Sayumi was busy going through her lines again when Eri leaned her head close and whispered in a low voice.
“Did you see that suspicious looking mark on Ai-chan’s neck? Reina had
one too.”
