1 Vs 5 ~ Llorumi

Confused

"Yes, that should work. May 5th?"

"Yes."

"Since it's tomorrow we have one day to prepare. Understand?"

"Yes." The women on the other end of the call nodded.

"Good. Let's meet up later tonight. Around 5 pm.

"Sounds good."

"Great. Buh Bye."

"Bye." Harumi hung up her Zoom call.

"Work call?"

Harumi turned around to see a tired, hung-over Lloyd. "Yes." Her voice immediately chilled when she talked to him.

"What?"

"What what?" Harumi closed her laptop.

"Why did you say it like that?" Lloyd moved towards her. The clock on his right read 9 am.

"Like what?"

"Did I do something?" Lloyd walked a little closer to Harumi. "Rumi-"

"Don't 'Rumi' me!"

"Woah, what did I do?"

"What did you do? Don't play dumb Lloyd."

"I'm sorry I don't know what you're talking about." Lloyd put his hands up in a surender.

"How?" Before Lloyd could answer, Harumi started again. "Oh, that's right. You were to fucking drunk to remember anything!" Harumi shoved Lloyd back.

"I-I still don't know what you're talking about." Lloyd was doing his best to stay calm. "Harumi, tell me!" Now they were both yelling. It's a good thing only they live there now.

"You stupid, cheating, lying asshole! You got so fucking wasted. Look at yourself. You're as hungover as hell."

"I'm sorry, cheating?"

"Yes, you don't remember?"

"No, I don't remember." Lloyd thought It was safe to approach. He was wrong. Harumi shoved him again.

"Akita. The one person I hate! Her of all people! Why Lloyd?! Why?!" Tears started to pour out of Harumi's eyes.

"I-I'm sorry" Lloyd said in an almost whisper. "I don't remember anything. But whatever I did I'm sorry." Lloyd tried to hug Harumi but that failed. Again.

"Don't touch me!" Harumi backed away again. "I'm going on a walk." Before Lloyd could say anything, she had stormed out of the house. Slamming the door behind her.

"Shit!" Lloyd face-palmed himself. "Shit, Shit, Shit, Shit!" Lloyd walked a small circle around himself. Cursing to himself. "How? What? What did I do? What is she talking about?" Lloyd asked himself, still pacing.

{With Harumi}

Harumi left the apartment in a fury. She didn't know what to do. Normally walking helped. "Why would he do that? What was I thinking? I should have let him- No." Harumi stopped at an empty bench in the park. "No, It's fine. Maybe we both just need time to think.

"Well, hello. Harumi." Only one person would say Harumi's name with that kind of venom in her voice.

"Akita." Harumi looked up at the dark haired girl. "What do you want now?"

"Oh, nothing. How are you? Actually better yet, how are you and Lloyd?"

"We're fine, thank you."

"Really? Then where is he?"

"He's at the apartment." Harumi avoided eye contact.

"Now why is that?"

"Because he's crazy hungover."

"Sure, sure."

"Akita, would you please just leave me alone?"

Akita tapped her chin. "No."

"Leave. Me. Alone you little bitch!" Harumi stood up. She knew this was causing a scene, but she didn't care anymore.

"Oh, I'm the bitch?"

{With Lloyd}

"Kai, Harumi is pissed with me and I don't even know what I did." Lloyd yelled over the phone to Kai.

"Bro, you and Akita were hooking up and Harumi walked in and saw.. Y'know."

"Yes, yes I know. I- why would I do that? I love Harumi. Like I'm so fucking in love with Harumi, I don't even have words to describe how I feel."

"Look, you need to tell her that. Not me."

"Got it. Thanks."

"Yeah, no problem." Lloyd hung up with Kai, then called Harumi.

Harumi noticed her phone buzzing. "Lloyd." Harumi ignored his call.

"Damnit!" Lloyd called Harumi another 12 times. No answer. "Oh god, she must hate me."Lloyd ran his fingers through his hair. At this point his hangover was almost gone.

Harumi came home 2 hours later. She needed to get ready, and grab her stuff for heer meeting with her client. "Harumi." Lloyd ran up to her when she walked through the door.

"Don't." Haarumi lightly shoved Lloyd away from her. "I have to get ready for a client meeting."

"Oh I-"

"Not now Lloyd." Harumi slammed her door. 30 minutes later she came out of her room with her hair put up, makeup done, and in her suit. Her briefcase was in her hand, swinging by her knee.

"Harumi, please." Lloyd grabbed her shoulders lightly.

"Get off me!" Harumi shoved Lloyd back with her briefcase. Lloyd fell into the wall. He must have hit his head because he saw his world going dark.

"Ha...rum....i" Lloyd slurred.

"L-Lloyd. I-I didn't mean- oh shit. Lloyd, Lloyd. Look at me."

"Hmm.." Lloyd's words were still slurred.

"No, no. Lloyd! Lloyd!"

Blackout

Lloyd? Lloyd? Are you ok?" Lloyd saw a hazy figure leaning over him. "Lloyd?" The figure came into focus. Harumi. "Oh my god are you ok? You were yelling, and tossing in your sleep. Are you ok?

"Hmm?" Lloyd looked at his phone. 'May 4th? It's almost noon.' Lloyd asked himself.

"Lloyd?"

"Harumi?" Lloyd sat up in bed.

"Are you ok?"

"It was just a dream." Lloyd mumbled.
