Together With You

Home at Last

We arrived at the hotel. It is one not far from my house. It's the nicest in the area, this is where our other members stay when visiting.

"Sho, how about you go sit down on the couch and I'll sort everything out." I gesture to a velvet sofa in front of a lavish fireplace.

"I don't really feel like I'm dressed for the occasion." He holds his arm out and turns into a square. My jacket is a bit too big for him. I start laughing and Sho walks to go sit down.

I make my way to the desk "Hello, can I get one king bed, long term stay. It's with the X company." He should get the whole stay for free, plus anything he wants. I am not sure if we are partners or if the boss actually owns this building. But it is nice to have around.

...

I walk Sho up to his room and let him in. The room itself isn't too lavish, but it is on the 22nd floor. Making the view something else.

I take out a sticky note and write my number, posting it up on the fridge. "Alright Sho, I should head out. My number is on the fridge if you need anything. Technically you are under my company, so the front desk should be able to comply with any requests you have. You can stay here as long as you need it. I'll see you around " Hopefully.

"Thank you." Sho says as I walk out of the door.

...

I arrive home and receive a text from an unknown number.

Sho-'Hey this is Sho'

Lian- ' Is everything okay?'

Sho- ':)'

Once again what a weird guy. I take off and polish my shoes making sure they sparkle like new. Then shower and wash up. As soon as my head hits the pillow I am out.

...

I wake up in the morning to my phone buzzing. I don't have work today so I must've slept in. I look at my phone and it's Sho he's- Calling me! I kinda don't want to answer.

"Hello this is Lian," I say into the phone.

"Hey Lian its Sho. I had a question to ask you." There is a momentary pause. "Do you have work today?"

"It's actually my day off. Did you need something?" I hear rustling around on the other line.

"I don't know how to ask this but- would you like to go on a date today?" Who is this guy? He ditched me in the morning and now he is asking for me to go on a date with him. What kind of twisted mind game-

"Yes of course! What did you have in mind?" I sit up in my bed. In reality I should've said no. Sho broke my heart, and he's a cop. Not the ideal partner.

"I can plan it all. Can you just meet me at the hotel lobby in an hour?"

"I'll be there"

The phone hangs up.

"Ugh" I throw my body back down into bed.

...

I wore my classic night out on the town gear. I have a white button up with the sleeves rolled up showing off my tattoos, blue dress slacks, and my favorite watch. My mother gave it to me when my dad passed away. This thing still ticks.

As I am standing in the lobby a man catches my eye walking out of the elevator. It's Sho. He is wearing a form of modern street wear. He has black buckled pants and white shoes. He is wearing a black long sleeve with some sort of green hooded t-shirt over it. And lastly his hair is pulled back into bright red clips. I have never really been one to appreciate streetwear. I think someone who has a career should always look professional, however it really suits Sho.
