(Kei’s POV)
Wait… WHAT?! Jason Ash… THE Jason Ash said he wants ME!?
“I… umm…” I tried to think of a response when I remembered the double pay, if I refused him I couldn’t get all that nice stuff. I don’t know what to do!
“Okay” I said, I couldn’t believe I said that. No! I didn’t mean it. Help! Somebody Help! I thought when he gestured to his lap.
“Sit” he instructed and I had to comply. He is a famous pop star, if I don’t do as he says then… I just followed his orders and sat on his lap, thinking only of the money. His purple hair, tied up in a side ponytail, tickled my face as I got comfortable.
“You’re gonna want to stop jiggling around.” He whispered into my ear as more food arrived at the table, served by Boss himself. I froze then. I have felt like this before… when Ray and I were in the same bed… yes it’s the same…
“Okay, you can feed me!” he decided, I got a spoon and got some chocolate ice cream. It was difficult to reach around my shoulder and put it in his mouth. I had to lean across to see where I was going. His eyes caught mine and before I knew it He kissed me.
(Ray’s POV)
God, I have work off today… What am I going to do? I thought reading the letter that Kei left me. Maybe I should go out. I walked to the car and got in. I went through all the back streets and went past suburbs I normally didn’t. Then I parked the car and got out. Upon entering I saw something that I really didn’t want to see.
There, in the back corner of the restaurant was Kei, and he was kissing another man. To my surprise I realised that he wasn’t just kissing him, He was also sitting in his lap and feeding him. On my right one of the staff members, I think it was Cody? He was also staring at the two there. I swear, I got something in my eye… I got something in my eye and left.
The thing in my eye blurred my vision but I didn’t care. I just wanted to get away… as fast as possible so… I may have done the wrong thing and got into my car. I was going well… got half way home at a great time too… but there was this tree. It came up so suddenly. Let’s just say that the tree didn’t move… I did though.
(Kei’s POV)
I got a text message, so I got up and excused myself. It was a missed call… from the hospital. What happened? I called them back.
“Hello?” the other side replied.
“Umm, Hi. You called me just before?”
“Oh yes, well, you see. Ray was in a car accident…” I dropped the phone. It broke… snapped in two… but I didn’t care. Ray! I ran. I ran all the way to the hospital. I ran up to the reception desk… In a tuxedo.
“R-Ray, what room?” I panted at the lady behind the desk.
“302” She replied after tapping on her keyboard a bit. I burst in to his room… he was lying there. Is he asleep? Please let him be asleep! I pleaded with god. When I got closed I heard the long beep of a flat line. Ray… I burst into tears, falling on my knees.
“Ray, Ray! Why!?” I cried but he wouldn’t wake up. I shook his shoulders but he wouldn’t move. A doctor came from outside.
“I’m sorry… Ray is dead.” He announced. All I could do is cry. I thought of all the time we spent together… I thought of all the times we could have spent together.
“Ray why did you leave me? It had only been a day!” I cried on his lifeless body until the doctor had to pull me away. It turns out I was there crying for three hours.
When I got home I went to his room and curled up in his bed. It smelt like him. I could still feel his touch. I wish he didn’t go. Why did he go? I cried and cried until the sun came up that morning.
“Boss, I can’t come in today.” I told him, ringing from the home phone.
“Okay, get better soon.” He replied before hanging up. Today, I am going to change. Ray told me he dyes his hair red. So I will too! I will remember him! I went to the cupboard and wrote down the number and exact colour of his hair dye. He had 30 left but I won’t use them… often. Today, I will though.
I went into the bathroom and dyed my hair. It came out the exact same colour as his. Once a month, I will… Once a month on this day! I pledged. I will not… will NEVER forget Ray! I thought and walked into my room. I think I cried for another hour or two before my doorbell rang. When I answered Boss looked shocked. I don’t blame him, I had blood red hair and my face was probably a mess. I was still crying to.
He didn’t say anything just stood there and hugged me. My cries were muffled in his chest.
