Waves Of Love(GL)

Chapter 8

Akari's POV

                        "End up her tenant"

It's been a years since I last rode a motorbike but secretly, for some cruel reason, so I was very happy to be able to ride again.

It feels different when you are free to do everything and anything you want.

It felt so good to ride on the motorbike and I enjoyed it so much, we arrived at the resort with my so alive spirit.

Just a few steps before we reached the reception area, when the pleasant staff were already smiling at us.

"Good afternoon Ma'am Solenn, Ma'am Megumi, right?" The receptionist greeted us as I hummed, while Solenn's just nodded.

"Are you hungry?" She suddenly asked me.

"Kinda" I shyly answered.

"Uhm wait. sit there first, I'll just go upstairs for a moment, I'll be back"She said and quickly went upstairs.

I sat, I just silently looking around the place and I probably just now realized how big and vast this place is. In fact, this is just a building with two floors.

The first floor where the reception area is located and opposite the dining area, the guest rooms is on the side of the reception area as well as the room where I'm staying.

While the second floor looks like it's still for guests? or owner's rest house? I'm not sure.

While I was waiting and busy looking around the place, a staff approached me with flyer in her hand.

"Good afternoon ma'am Megumi, would you like to buy some ice cream? since the weather is hot, and we have a promo so it's just cheap" She's offering me politely.

"Is that so? alright, I'll buy it but later when my friend come back so we both will buy it, she just went upstairs" I gladly said as well as the staff who's now smiling ear to ear.

"Thank you so much Ma'am Megumi. uhm by the way, Ma'am" She said and suddenly became serious.

"Why? what is it?" I asked curiously.

"May I ask first? hehe" She shyly asked, I just nodded.

"Do you and my boss know each other? because you said your friend went upstairs" She said that made me confused.

"Huh? what do you mean? I don't understand" I answered curiously.

"My Boss staying there, guest is not allowed to go there, unless they know her and have her permission" She said that made me wonder.

Her? so her boss is a woman? the owner of this beautiful place is a woman? wow.

"Is that so? may I know your boss's name?" I don't know why I suddenly became interested of the owner's name.

"Solenn, Solenn Perez and she is a strict in almost everything but she is very kind and beautiful" She said with a smile. I was very surprised.

Why didn't that ever cross my mind? I thought she was just a guest here.

"What's happening here? I think I heard my name" Speaking of her, before I could say anything to the staff, she approached us.

"She just offered me an ice cream and I said I'll buy it when you come back" I said awkwardly as I looked at the staff.

"Right! I'm going to prepare it, excuse me Ma'am Solenn, Ma'am Megumi" She said politely before leaving us in a hurry.

"Alright, sorry I made you wait" She said apologetically.

"It's okay, I don't mind" I said reassuringly.

"Thank you, let's go the dining area" She as said as we immediately went there.

We immediately ordered food. We're just avoiding our gaze awkwardly while we're waiting our order to be served.

I noticed her spacing out while staring outside, I wonder what is going through her mind.

"Uhm I just remembered, what are you going to tell me?" I cut off her thoughts.

"Huh? ahh..right, sorry I almost forgot" She shyly said as she scratched her nape.

"I forgot what exactly I was going to say, but may I ask?" She added awkwardly.

"Hmm yeah, go ahead" I suddenly became nervous.

"How long are you going to stay here? or how many more days? I thought you had already left" She asked curiously. What's with that sudden question?

"Why did you ask? so you're thinking about me because you're curious, do you stilll want me to stay here?" I said jokingly as her expression became awkward.

"Just kidding" I added then chuckled.

"What are you thinking Ms. Sekiguchi? I'm just asking tho, but maybe you're right that I'm just curious?" She firmly said. What's with this grumpy giant?

"Alright? If you say so, and actually I don't know long I can stay here but maybe until I find a place to stay? or to make it clear, until I find even just a small apartment to stay" I told her according to my plan.

"But unfortunately, I haven't seen an available place to stay yet" I added as her eyes became bright while listening, as if I took her interest.

"Is that so? I really thought you're just an ordinary guest, but if that's the case then I think you will be glad 'cause I know a place perfectly place where you can stay" She said confidently. Now she was the one who took my interest.

"Really? then tell me where is it, It's been almost two weeks but I haven't seen a place to stay yet" I told her in relief. Finally.

"Is that so? you must be so tired searching everywhere, I feel bad for you. But anyway, here, you can stay here" She said that made me confused.

I'm staying here already but just temporarily, what does she mean?

"What's with that surprised expression? pft..I still have one available guest room upstairs and it's been empty for a long time, and you're very lucky 'cause I'm offering it only to you, for the first I'm offering that room to someone" She said complacently. I was surprised and a bit confused at the same time.

"Really? you're serious about that, aren't you? and I wonder..why it's been empty for a long time?" I said excitedly yet curious.

Why it's been empty for a long time? there's maybe something in there, a ghost? jeez. or maybe she just don't want anyone to stay there for some reason.

"I'm not the kind of person who jokes about the things or place I care strictly. And Ms. Sekicguchi, I just hate loud people that's why I keep prevailing that room empty for the sake of my peace of mind" She explained. Is that so? well Solenn is a type of serious person, so her reason is not surprising.

"I see, thank you for telling me and mostly, thank you for offering me that room, I'm finally!" I gladly said. She saved the day again! what is she really? a savior? my savior? It seems to be like that.

"Don't mention it, and besides you can't stay there for free so--" She said when our food finally arrived.

"Here's your food as well your ice cream, thank you for patiently waiting Ma'am Solenn, Ma'am Megumi" The pleasant waiter politely said as he put down the tray of food on the table.

"Thank you" We exclaimed. He excused himself formally.

"Let's eat first, before we proceed the negotiation" She said strictly, I just nodded.

I'm also starving so I need to eat first, before my hungry stomach complain.
