Seperate Ways

Chapter 2

<Nico's pov>

"N-Nico-chan!?" The customer suddenly yelled, causing me to jump.

Upon closer look, I realised that the customer looks a lot like Maki, a former member of μ's. From her amethyst purple eyes to her wavy velvet hair.

"Ueehh! Maki-chan!?!" I startled as I stared at her up and down. She still looks quite elegant and beautiful in the dim light. No. Stop thinking this, me. I promised to move on. I promised.

"S-so... what brings you here?" I asked as I leaned against the counter.

"The same thing I'd ask you." Maki replied. "I heard that you disappeared after releasing your second album. What are you doing here? Aren't you an idol? Isn't it your dream to become one?"

"Uhh... well... a lot of things happened." I said slowly.

"Hey, Yazawa. You're locking this place up." My coworker appeared from behind me and tossed the keys on the counter.

"Okay." I gave him a little salute and quickly returned my attention back to Maki.

"I was running away from a stalker. He knows where I live, the company I worked for, my family, and basically my entire life."

"I-I see..." Maki mumbled. "So... about that 'Love Nico cocktail'... is it good?"

I could see that she tried to change the subject. "Changing the topic, huh.. I like it."

"Sh-shut up..."

"Okay then. Love Nico cocktail coming right up."

I turned around and gathered the ingredients for my so-called special drink. I started mixing in the concoction for the perfect drink, feeling a lot like a scientist. I could almost imagine that the drink might produce a steam or cause a tiny explosion.

"Could you handle alcohol?"

"Yeah.. More or less."

I added a few drops of vodka into the cup and shook it well.

"Uhh... So, Maki-chan. Are you taking over that hospital of yours?"

"Not yet. I'm just working there." Maki sighed before she added, "I wish I could quit it."

"What do you mean?" I asked as I carefully added the final touches on my masterpiece.

"Papa had been trying to hook me up with his clients so that they could take over the hospital... And... well..."

"...And you prefer women over men?" I teased, leaning towards the counter.

"Wh-what!? What the hell are you saying! I-I don't know what you m-mean!" She stuttered, blushing as red as her hair.

"I'm just kidding." I giggled as I present her drink. "Here. A special beverage for a special women."

"N-Nico-chan!! Geez..." She slowly took a sip from the cup, hiding her burning face.

She's so cute....

I stared at her from head to toe. Her blouse doesn't seem revealing but it's tight enough to show the beautiful curves of her body. Her leather skirt seems really expensive. It has a cut up to her thigh, showing off her skin underneath.... Wait. What the hell am I thinking? We are both females. Plus, idols shouldn't be in love. It's against the contract.

"Hey, Nico-chan." Maki said, snapping me out of my thoughts. "It's good..." She mumbled as she handed me her empty cup.

"Going for seconds?" I giggled as I took the cup from her.
