Chapter 8Ai was awoken to a couple of dull knocks on the door, groaning as she rolled out of bed, as she hoped it wasn’t the landlord. Quickly, her mind conjured up a sad story about being fired from her job as she grasped the doorknob and slowly turned it clockwise. She opened the door to a familiar face with her fist in midair and the shock in her eyes as she saw Ai again.
“Konnichi wa, Ai-chan.” Risa greeted with her hand slowly coming down to her side as she waited for a cue to invite her in but Ai blocked the doorway with her body leaning on the left side of the pathway. Wearing a black blouse and matching skirt, she appeared that she had just left work for the day. Risa took a step back and assess Ai at the door as she seemed unprepared for her.
“Konnichi wa… Risa.” Ai greeted with an irritated tone. “Who told you where I live?”
Risa showed her a text from Mako-chan with a smirk on her face. She brushed by Ai with a grin and took a seat on the bed as she gazed back at her former neighbor. Ai felt a chill in the room as she closed the door behind her. She moved closer to the younger woman and stopped two feet in front of the bed returning a smile back at her.
“Why are you here?” Ai asked as she took the spot next to Risa. She looked over at the younger woman and ran her hand over gently over Risa’s back. Ai felt a quiver from her which entertained her a bit but Risa’s gleaming smile was the counter Ai didn’t expect.
“I was wondering if… you still see me as a friend. Ten years ago…” Ai gently lay the younger woman down onto the bed. Feeling her fingers running along the smooth material, Risa froze as she watched the elder woman controlling the action. Ai unbuttoned one before intentionally stopping herself and excused herself from the bed.
“Ten years ago… we were neighbors. How many people have you been intimate with?” Ai blurted as in frustration of the situation. She grabbed her blouse and forced her to sit up on the bed with a confused look on her face. Risa wasn’t sure why Ai wanted to know but she held up her index finger. “Is it that woman you were with?”
“Eri would never do that. He…” Ai held up her hand and strolled to the bed. She sat down to the right of her and lightly pressed her hands onto her cheeks. Her face moved to an inch in front of her and reached out and brushed the younger woman’s magenta-colored lips. Risa let out a gasp as both of their bodies fell to the bed and closed her eyes as she felt the buttons slowly being removed. Loosening up the clothing, Risa dug her nails into the other woman as she got to the point of bliss.
“Wait.” Risa gummed as she threw Ai off her. She stared at her former neighbor with a firm expression before propping herself off the bed.
“Who was the man who broke you?” She asked with a serious facial expression.
Risa took a deep breath as she walked to the opposite side of the bed and turned toward the window with the view of the street below. The sun’s glare beamed into the room with the late afternoon setting into evening. Risa took a few minutes to look back into the room and noticed Ai flat on her back, her eyes foggy from looking at the light for a little too long. She got to the bed’s edge and bend over to face Ai.
“The man never got to there but he gave me a chance to hope for you again.” She spat out as she collapsed onto Ai. “Didn’t you feel the same way?”
“Yes.” Ai replied quickly as Risa removed herself from her body. “I wanted to say I’m sorry for the past ten years and if you want to… I can make it up to you.” Risa curled her lips as she climbed back onto the bed.
The night was filled with groans from ten years of frustration and life that they missed with each other. Their voices shrilled with every action on that bed, the smell was a mix of perfume and sweat, the view of the moon was the pervert that watched them until they fell asleep in each of their nude bodies.
The sun awoke both of them in bed and rolled out slowly as they scanned each other across the bed. Risa wrapped herself with the white sheet and walked over to the bathroom. Ai headed to the refrigerator to find some food for both of them but unluckily it was empty. She threw on a t-shirt and shorts to prepare her to go out to find food but the weather changed into a gloomy hell and she just stared outside as the tears from the heavens flowed like a broken faucet. Ai looked back at the bathroom as she smelled the steam coming from there. She sneaked over to the door and turned the knob slowly to reveal what was behind the door but suddenly froze as a chill ran down her spine.
“Ai, can I borrow some clothes?”
“Sure. You can choose whatever you want.” Ai looked up at the clock and headed to her closet for a raincoat and an umbrella for Risa.
She stared at the door for a few minutes waiting for Risa to appear from the bathroom. She came out with a pink robe and her hair was wrapped in a strawberry-colored towel. Ai showed her to the closet and chest for her own convenience to borrow clothing for the return home. Risa searched through her selection and carefully picked out clothing for the trip.
“You have a lot of stuff.” Risa complimented as she grabbed her selection back to the bathroom. Ai gathered up the clothes scattered and neatly put them back into the drawers. She held onto the raincoat and umbrella as she waited for Risa to come out. Her phone rang on the table and looked at the display for a quick second.
“Kamei is calling.” Ai shouted and waited for the violent vibrations to end as Risa appeared out in a white t-shirt and blue shorts. She took the raincoat and umbrella and walked out of the apartment. Ai stood in the middle of the room for a few seconds before locking up her apartment behind her and followed Risa out to the street.
“Thanks for last night.” Risa said under her breath as she turned right into the storm.
“Kamei is your girlfriend, right?” Ai yelled catching Risa by surprise. “Kamei seems right for you.”
“Do you think she can be as great as you?” Risa questioned with a smile.
“I won’t answer that.” Ai stuck out her tongue as a man with a suit bumped into her as he passed into the complex.
The man walked to the first person and stuck his face in front of the elderly woman, pushing her to the ground. Ai walked back into the lobby and followed the man to the elevator. He was ten to fifteen centimeter taller than her with a stone face and combed back black hair. He had a slight hunch on his back as he stopped before the elevator and walked back toward Ai.
“Are you following me?” His face was an inch from hers before Ai took a step back.
“I live here. Residents need to use the elevator to get upstairs.” Ai replied as he stuck his hand into the jacket and showed her folded documents.
“Are you Takahashi Ai?” She nodded as he handed off the documents. “I want to ask you more questions but you have to come down to the station.”
“Okay.” She replied.
He called for a car to pick both of them up and headed toward the station wondering why anyone would have documents, only to realize that he was not an authority figure.
