CHAPTER 2

"Ren Hatichi, it's great to finally meet you"

Both Ren and Mei stood back up, Mei kept her neutral expression as she spoke.

"Hatichi, as in Hatichi Technologies?"

Ren gave a nod and a wide smile as he held eye contact with her.

She then looked over the tall young man again.

The suit he was wearing, right down to his shoes, all were made from top line designers.

The way his hair sat perfectly, well looked after white teeth and tanned skin all screamed that this man is definitely from the higher class of society. It only made Mei wander even more how him and Yuzu met.

She quickly glanced over to Yuzu's ring, it had a gold band and the diamond on it was stunning, even though it was night, Mei could still see it shinning bright as the dim street lights would hit it.

She could feel her chest getting tight, she needed to get out of here. "I'm sorry but I must go"

Ren quickly raised his hand and a black car pulled up in seconds.

He gave Mei a warm smile as he spoke "Please, let my driver take you wherever you need to go"

He grabbed Yuzu's hand and interwind it with his own. That was it for Mei, she could feel the tears coming. She quickly bowed as she spoke "Thank you for your kindness, but thats fine"

She stood back up and her and Yuzu locked eyes.

Mei could stare into those beautiful emeralds all day, she teared her eyes away as she turned around and left.

She walked as fast as she could, she could hear Yuzu yelling out to her but she didn't turn back as the tears were falling off her cheek and onto the pavement.

Yuzu stared at the back of Mei until she was no longer insight.

"Dont worry Honey, she probably had something important to do" Ren lent over and kissed Yuzu on the cheek.

She didn't reply as all she did was a small nod in return.

"Shall I take you home?" He politely opened the door for Yuzu and waited for her to get in.

The entire drive home Yuzu was feeling strange, she was happy to see Mei and even more excited that she was able to spend the day with her. But something else was starting to stir inside of her.

Before she knew it, she was home, Ren offered to walk Yuzu to her door, she shook her head as she declined.

Yuzu gave him a hug, as she pulled back she closed her eyes as they shared a goodbye kiss.

'Meis lips are softer'

She pulled back quickly which surprised the young man. He gave her a concerned look, Yuzu saw the worry in his eyes, she tried to give him a reassuring smile before she spoke.

"Its fine babe, i'm just really tired from today"

Ren grabbed her hand and kiss it softly before he spoke "O.k, just dont overwork yourself my beautiful Doctor"

Yuzu blushed at his words as she lent up on her tip toes and kissed his cheek.

She finally made her way up to her apartment "I'm home"

She was surprised to be met with silence, Yuzu made her way to the kitchen table where she saw a note from Harumin.

'Gone out with Matsuri, see you later xoxo'
