One day I, Meranda Alexander, had just moved back to Tokyo from Greece, were I was studying to be a writer. My friend, Ashie, had a magazine company, and he wanted me to work with him. We had been friends sense grade school, he was always like an older brother to me, who always dressed like a rich man. When I arrived at the airport my phone started to ring. "Hello.Yes.I understand. Yes I can meet you at the Hitoki restaurant. Yes. OK. Bai." The sound of my conversation went from my side. I rush to get to the restaurant on time when. Plop! I run smack in to a gorgeous man. "I'm sorry! " we both say at the Same time. I bow to him and scurry to get my bags. Our hands meet on my resume, and next our eyes meet each other. "Wow! You are gorgeous! "The words slip out of the man's mouth. "I'm so sorry, oh and am Aoi Makishi. " I look at him with my face as red as an apple and say."Mr Makishi the writer! I am the one who should be apoligizeing. I...I'm Meranda Alexander. " I see you've heard of me Mrs Alexander. " "Yes I have, it is a great honor time meet you. Oh and it's miss I'm not married." "Wow,I bet your boyfriend is sad to hear that Miss Alexander." "I'm sorry to correct you again but I don't have one Mr Makishi, and please call me Meranda." "Please call me Aoi.I bet all these guys in Tokyo are falling all over a woman with beauty such as yours Meranda." He said with a sugestive smile. He kisses the top of my hand,bows,and said. "Bai Meranda, I hope our paths will cross again." And he leaves the opposite way from me.I look at my watch.I rush to the restaurant in hopes not to be late. The whole time thinking of how kind Aoi was helping me out and how he is nothing like people say. "Hello Meranda, glad to see you made it." Ashie said "Ashie, thank you for this opportunity. " I reply. He pulls out my chair and ruffles my hair. We talk about my job. "Meranda your first job is to interview international playboy and writer Mr Aoi Makishi, and try to get him to write for the sleepless princess."Ashie said. "Oh Ashie you wouldn't believe this but I just meet him. He was kind sweet and nothing like people make him out to be." I say with a big smile. Ashie looked at me and said, "you must really like Mr Makishi. When you Talk about him you glow and your Eyes twinkle. I need you to look you best for tonight I'm talking you with me to meet some really important people. I'll pick you up at your hotel around eight. "He finished up, ruffled my hair,and left. I pay my part of the check and leave.I put all my things up in my sute, grab my pocketbook, and go down to the store. I appreciate that Ashi let me live in his sute until I get my owne paycheck. When I get to the store I found a beautiful pink ballgown, I really wanted it, but when I looked at the price tag I knew I would never get it. I started towards another dress I heard someone yell my name. "Meranda, Hay!" The voice called. I looked to see Who it was and it was Aoi! "Aoi what are you doing hear?!" I called. "I was hoping I ran into you.what are you doing hear?" He started. "I was trying to find something to wear to this party at the Shanggirla hotel tonight, but it seems everything is to expensive."I pointed out. "Hay Meranda, how about you try on this pink ballgown here for me?" He said. "I was wanting that dress but it's too expensive." I reply. "How about you let me see how it looks on you, please?" He said while pushing me and the dress into a changing room. "Now don't come out until it's on you,OK?" I agree and when I come out he and almost everyone's eyes were owned me. "Wow just Wow. I'm speechless, your even more beautiful that the day I seen you." Aoi stated. He leads me to a mirror. I see my cheeks were red, and I didn't even look like myself. Aoi rips off the tag and heads towards the register and pays. "There it's all yours, I just got it for you." He said with a big smile. "Why Did you do that?" I question. "Because you looked so ravishing in it I had to get it for you and we will be at the Same party and I wanted to dance with the prettiest girl there. Next I'll take you to get your hair and make up done. Now change back and meet me outside the store." I nod,change, and wait outside. It wasn't long before Aoi comes out with a small bag. We walk to the beauty parlor a block down the road then the hair Solon. By the time we were done I looked like a princess, or at least That's what Aoi told me. He walked me back to my hotel and gave me the small bag. "Here I got this for you don't open it until you ate about to leave for the party and when you get there find me right away okay? " he said while kissing my forehead. I nod and ask. "Why are you being so nice to me?" He holds my hands and looks into my eyes and says. "Because I really like you, your smart, kind,sweet, and the prettiest girl I think I have ever meet and when you get to the party I need yo ask you something. " he finished, wiped the hair out of my eyes and kissed my cheek. Then he left. I run right up to my room and flop on the bed.I thought about Aoi and his straight hair that went a little farther than his chin his, chocolate brown eyes, his smoth skin and lips. I need to get ready.I jump up and put on the dress. I look in the mirror I look like a princess, I really do. Next I open the bag and in it there was a small box with a red ribbon on it. I open it and there was a beautiful heart necklace and earrings. Also a note it read,
My dearest Meranda, I saw these and they reminded me of your beauty. I hope you like the persents. P.s. I put my number on the back of the note as soon as you read this please call me.
I picked up my cell phone and called Aoi. "Hello, Hi Aoi." "Did you like it?" "Yes I love it, you are so kind and sweet." "Awwe thank you, you deserve it." "Thank you so much Aoi I don't know how I'll ever repay you." "Don't worry about it." "Oh Aoi my boss wanted me to ask you if you would write some stories for our magazine sleepless princess." "On one condition, you are the editor." "I'll have to ask my boss but I'm sure that could be arranged." "Great,Well hurry up and get down here!" "OK, OK, I have to wait for my boss he invited me, he thinks I should get out and mangle." "OK I'll wait for you but don't spend all your time with him I'll be Waiting at the staircase for you." "OK bai see you there Aoi." "Bai see you there Meranda." He made a kissing sound before he hung up. I grabbed my phone,pocketbook, and paper and pencil, and ran Dow to the lobby. A few min later Ashie arrived in a taxi. We got in the taxi. "Meranda you look so beautiful, how Did you ever afford something so extravagant?" He asked. "Well, I didn't buy it. A friend of mine got them for." I said. "Well this friend must be really loaded. Who this friend?" Ashie asked. "You will see him tonight by the staircase." I replied. The rest of the ride was quite and I played with the necklace Aoi gave me. Finally we arrived at a huge hotel. We got out and went straight to the doors and stopped. "Meranda try not to make a fool of yourself or me please." Ashie said. "Yes I'll try Ashie." I said while nodding. When we entered, the whole room fell silent. All eyes were on us. "Meranda everyone's eyes are on you." Ashie said. I looked at him and said. "Really?" I could feel my face grow warm and turn red. Ashie pulled me through the door and into the room. After a moment everyone went back room talking. I excused myself from Ashie and went to look for Aoi. As soon as I arrived at the staircase I was lifted up into the air and spun around. When I was put down I looked to see who it was. "Aoi!" I said and ran up and huge him. He stroked my hair and hired me back. "Meranda I wanted you to meet my friends then can we talk in privacy?" Aoi asked. I nodded and took Aoi's arm and off we went. "Meranda, I would like you to meet,Sojion, Kise, Shoyio, Motiomia, and Kiojiom,guys, this is the beautiful Miss Meranda Alexander." I bow to them. "Sojion is a hair dresser. Kise is a model. Shoyio is a Volleyball player. Motiomia is a basketball player. Finally Kiojiom is a fashion desiner. Now if you excuse us we have something to talk about." "Well, Well, Well, if it isn't Aoi Makishi my rival. "Said a voice from beside the staircase. Both Aoi and I looked. "Kimmia Henata." Aoi said. Aoi put his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. "Well who's this flower?" Kimmia said while stoking much face. Aoi smacked his hand away and said. "Don't you tuch her!" Aoi sat me down on a couch. Aoi and Kimmia went into a room. I was afraid that Aoi might get hurt so I ran out to the balcony there were chairs and couches out there so I sat on the couch. I was all alone on the balcony until I heard the door shut. I jump and turn to see Kimmia,he walked slowly towards me. "Hello my flower, what are you doing out here all alone?" Kimmia asked. "I was just getting fresh air." I reply with fear. I got up from the couch ,trying to avoid Kimmia, and go find Aoi. My efforts failed. "Go sit back down!" He yelled at me and before I knew I was sitting, shaking with fear. He sat on the other end of the couch and inched closer to me, like a predator hunting it's pray. I started to get up when the next think: knew he was sitting on top of me. "You must be sleeping with Aoi to have him writing in your paper. And I want what he got!" Kimmia said. "I'm not sleeping with Aoi were just friends!" I yell in fear. "Well you must have fillings for him,but once I please you those feelings will be gone!" He yelled. I tried to fight him but it was No use. He holds my hands down and proceed to rip my dress at the zipper. As tears rolled from my eyes I struggle with all my might. "stop! Please stop! Aoi! Help me please!" I couldn't help but call for Aoi in fear of being raped. As my eyes blur with tears and losing my strength, I hear the door burst open. I managed to get free from Kimmia, wipe my eyes and see Aoi. I run into his arms.Aoi embraced me. "Suush it's OK I'm here now. "Aoi said while holding tightly in his arms. Aoi noticed my dress was ripped and he went off on Kimmia. "How could you dear rape my girlfriend! I should teach you a lesson!" Aoi punch Kimmia twice and blacks both of Kimmia's eyes. "I don't see you writing any books anytime soon. Soon takes off his jacket and wrapped it around me. Aoi picked me up and carried me to a large room. He set me down on a bed and looked through the drawers of a dresser. Aoi hands me a men's shirt and said here put this on and we can talk. I put the shirt on while thinking about what Aoi said back there my girlfriend, over and over in my head played those words my girlfriend. When I finished getting dressed I sat back on the bed. Aoi held me in his arms, rocked be back and forth, and stroked my hair. "Meranda I'm sorry about what happened to you. You can sleep here as long as you want and I'll be here by your side. Soon I was fast asleep in his arms when I finally woke up I had No clue what day it was. Aoi walked in. "Good morning gorgeous how Did you sleep?" Aoi asked. "Fine thank you, how long was I asleep? " I asked. "About 5 days give or take a few hours." He said. "5 days! I'm really late for work." I said I tried to get up when Aoi pulled me back in bed with him, he hands me a cup of hot tea,and said. "Don't worry I've contacted Ashie and told him what had happened he agreed to letting you have a month off with pay." "How and Why Aoi? "I pondered. "Well you seemed like you needed a week or two and I wanted to spend some time with you. And all I had to do was tell your boss who I was. I also have been needing to talk to you about something. " I take a sip of the tea and say. "What where you meaning to talk to me about?" "Well Meranda, "he started and holds my hands, "you know I really like you and would protect you for anything or anyone don't you?" I nod. "Well I was wondering if y...y...you would be m...m...my g..girlfriend?" "I would be honored to be your girlfriend. "I said. He wrapped his arms around me and kisses my neck then my cheek then my lips. For the rest of the day we cuddled and watched tv. A few weeks later Soon moved me into his house. And years later we're married. We live a very happy life as writers with a new born daughter and son. And our life is pretty happy. And my wife Meranda is the best wife ever,and she is still as pretty as the day I met her 2 years ago
