CHAPTER 4“And then… she told me that one thing was friendship… and another one her privacy…” Risa chocked, as Eri hugged her, trying to calm her.
“That girl is such a jerk…” Eri thought aloud, making her friend giggle.
“Yes…” She said, as she started to sob again.
“Hey, don’t cry… Tell me what happened after that…”
“She went outside… and left me alone in the dance room…” Risa whispered snuggling into Eri’s chest.
“Completely a jerk…” The other replied. “I wonder who is it...”
“Who knows…”
“Yeah…” Eri chuckled. “Knowing Ai… That person could be even Tsunku…”
“Kame! That’s such an unpleasant image!” Risa laughed.
“Yeah, totally disgusting…”
“Well… What do you think…?” The older asked.
“About what?”
“Well, you said that I should confess my feelings to Ai… But now…” She said muttering.
“Hmm…” Eri said as she thought. “I still think that… But probably you should wait, until the things calm down a little…”
“I’m not sure…”
“Whatever…” Eri changed the subject. “It’s late, and we’re both tired… So go home, get some sleep, and we’ll think more about this tomorrow…”
“You’re right…” Risa said as she hugged Eri.
“I’ll see you tomorrow then.”

Meanwhile, Reina and Maki were peacefully sleeping, when the soloist’s mobile rang…
“What the hell…?” Reina said as she clunged closer to Maki, if that was even possible. “Who the hell is calling this late…?”
“The job…” The older whispered, catching the mobile with her right hand, while her left arm rested under Reina’s back.
“Yeah?” Maki answered her phone.
“…” Reina tried to get the other line of the conversation, but she was way too sleepy to hear it.
“Yes…”
“…”
“Yes…”
“…”
“What?! Right now?!” Maki yelled irritated.
“…”
“Ok, ok… I’ll be there as soon as I can…” She concluded the conversation.
Maki looked at Reina begging for forgiveness. The younger caught the indirect, even knowing that she was half asleep.
“Oh no…” Reina said embracing Maki tighter. “You’re not going anywhere…”
“But we’ve got an issue at work…”
“What kind of issue?” She cut her off.
“A huge one…”
“You’re not going to stay here, even if I tell you to do it, right?” Reina said with a stern tone in her voice.
“Well…”
“Ok… You may go…” She gave up. “I’m starting to believe your excuse about being stressed at work.” She chuckled.
“But, aren’t you angry?” Maki said surprised at her girlfriend’s reaction.
“Yes… But I’m too asleep to start an argument right now…” She said drifting back to her sleep, as Maki get up and started to dress herself.
“Thanks!” The soloist said, kissing her girlfriend’s cheek before start leading towards the door.
“Yeah… But I’ll start it tomorrow… So don’t be so relaxed…” She laughed before fell completely asleep again.
She looks so cute… Maki thought to herself.

Ai-chan was laid in her bed, looking at the ceiling.
“When did I become like this…?” She asked, as she started to cry. “What have I done…? Risa… She just worries about me… And I’ve treated her like that… But well, I’ll fix this later… Now I’ve got a huger problem to solve…”
