The past 2 weeks have been hectic due to finalizing the hotel opening. Gio left a few days ago but he should be back to attend the opening. Things are back to normal between me, Ryah, and Levi after we were together and had a talk.
I started back seeing Mama D, and with the support of everyone else, I stopped cutting again. I still get the gnawing feeling but not strong enough for me to go through with it.
"Mo, you ready?" Domonique's voice brought me out of my thoughts, looking down at my outfit I nodded before exiting the car along with the others.
"Ok guys, this isn't our first rodeo, so let's do what we do best for tonight to be a success for both us and Mr. King" I smiled at everyone before we headed inside.
3 hours later
The opening has been off to a good start, dinner was just finished, the dessert bar has been set up and everyone seems to be having a good time.

The feel of a hand slipping around my waist brings me back to reality as I get ready to turn around and tell the person off.
"If you want that f**king hand I suggest yo-" the words die on my slips as the owner of the hand lets out a low chuckle pulling me closer to him.
"Sono yōna kitanai kuchi no takaramono (Such a foul mouth treasure)" the smooth voice spoke in Japanese, and my body instantly relaxed as a smile lit up my face and I threw myself into his arms.
"Kai!!!, what are you doing, and why didn't you tell me you were coming?" I pouted as I hit his chest.
"I was invited Takara, and I wanted to surprise you but I'm the one surprised. You look beautiful Monae" he purred my name as his eyes swept over me, and I felt my body heat up.
"Kai.." I stated in warning as I glanced around the room, and I made eye contact with Nasir who was mugging the hell out of Kai's back. Smiling to myself I focused on the man in front of me who wore a smirk on his face.
