My Ruthless Best Friend

☆002☆

JOTARO'S POV:

While analyzing a starfish, I studied its body and how they protect themselves from their enemies underwater especially on land. It was late already and the snow started to fall hard, like there's no tomorrow, seems I'm gonna go home covered in snow.
"Jotaro-san," my co-worker said. "It's time for me to shift you"
"Sure. Just a minute"
"Actually someone's waiting for you outside the front pavement"
I furrowed my brows and put down the starfish on the table. "Who is it?"
My co-worker gave me a shrug and pat my back, I gathered my things and went out to see who's waiting for me outside.
"Hey, Jojo" Kasmira called, holding my black coat.
"You seriously took guts just to get here to pick me up in a middle of the snowstorm"
She waved her hand telling me it's not a bother for her, for me,  yes it was a bother. I took the coat from her and wore it around me & she wore also a thick coat that similar to mine.
"Where's our ride?" I asked.
"The van right over there" pointing over the end of the front pavement. We walked a bit as we reached the van and got in safely and the storm was like hell, good thing the van is useful on different kinds of weather. It was warm and cozy inside, we didn't bother to open the cooler.
"How's your work?" Kasmira asked me.
"Good. How about you, Ms. Heiress of the Speedwagon Foundation?"
"Same as yours. But some of my employees were absent due to the snowstorm earlier this morning"
I nodded and she nuzzles on me trying to get warm from the cold weather, I cocooned her in my arms and she smiled, we got back at the hotel, and we're both tired from work all day.
"Want to eat something before heading to bed?" I asked.
"I'll pass for now. I'm really exhausted..." She paused when her left stiletto broke and almost tripped her from walking which I quickly caught her in time.

"You alright?"

"Y-yeah.. It almost made me hit the marbled floor"

"Good thing, I summoned Star Platinum to catch your bag while I catch you from tripping."

"Thank you, Star Platinum" she said, as she sees my Stand also and caresses him gently with her soft hand as I could feel her warmth touching my cheeks.
"Thank you also, Jotaro"
I smirked. "You're welcome"

We got back in our room and she quickly turned on the heater to keep us warm, the weather outside was killing us, the glass window was frosted due to the strong wind, the whole town of Morioh was covered in snow and fog, good thing the storm isn't strong and thank goodness for this place.
"Jotaro" Kasmira called from the bedroom.
"Yes?"
"Do you have any spare turtlenecks?," she replied, as she was shaking badly due to the storm. "Can I lend some of yours?"
"Sure. Hold on"
I rummage through my bag and found an extra turtleneck and gave it to her. Locking the door entrance and locking the windows properly, I started to yawn as I turned off the table lamp, as we let the heater on to keep us warm the whole cold night, the thick blanket was enough for the both of us and it wasn't really awkward sleeping with her back when we were young and innocent,  she nuzzles close as I wrapped my arms around her, I closed my eyes as I also, drifted off to sleep.

However

We suddenly woke up from a sudden noise that exploded, Kasmira and I quickly wore our coats and went out to check what was it and the snowstorm had calm down as some people went out to check what it was.
"The part of the electricity post exploded due to the storm" some people said while the others started to murmur about it.
"Jotaro, do you think it's...?" Kasmira asked, looking at me.
"No doubt. It's a fault of a Stand user"
I sighed deeply and lowered my cap. "Yare-yare daze..."
We decided to head back to our room and it was already 16:00 am,  we didn't rest after that explosion scenario happened.
"Do you want some coffee?" Kasmira asked.
"Okay," I replied, deciding to help her to make breakfast. "Let me do the frying while you do the coffee"
She smiled. "Oh, thanks"
While preparing breakfast, someone knocked on the door and she went to get the door. I heard a sudden squeal which made me stop from cooking and peeked through the entrance and Kasmira was greeted by a black American lady within her forties. I shook my head as I continued cooking,  then I heard her voice coming over the kitchen and stood next to me.
"I wanted you to meet someone" she said.

♥★♥★♥★♥

We went at the living room and she introduce me her etiquette teacher from New York, Tamika Smith, which was her friend and the same woman who taught her to be a proper lady heiress.
"Well, a pleasure to meet the grandson of the Joestar couple" Tamika said, smiling.
"A pleasure to meet you also, ma'am"
She smiled and studied me and Kasmira. "Let me guess, are you two married?"
We both shook our heads and felt my cheeks warming up and I notice also Kasmira felt the same.
"We're not married or engage, Tamika," she replied, with a flushed face. "He's already married to someone"
"Oh, I'm so sorry sbout that" Tamika apologized and smiled.
I faced Kasmira and gave me a smile, her face right now is unreadable when she mentioned that I was already married to someone.
"Tamika-san, what brings you here?" Kasmira asked.
"Well, I came to see my student who came to be the new heiress of the Speedwagon Foundation"
Kasmira smiled and thanked her etiquette teacher, but from her emerald eyes she was still hiding something that I didn't know yet, but I have to reveal it sooner.
She and her etiquette teacher talked for a moment right after our breakfast and soon, she escorted her teacher out of the room and heard them talking, bidding each other goodbyes and closes the door behind.
"Sorry if we're talking in an appropriate way" she said.
"It's alright. At least, I got to know where you get your decent words and phrases"
She giggled slightly and wave off her hand telling me 'it's fine' or 'don't mention it whatsoever' .
Around afternoon, the snow falls calmly while we were just there by the fireplace typing my researchand relaxing ourselves, but for her she was busy fixing her broken stiletto.
"Perhaps I can help you" I said.
"It's okay, Jotaro. I'll do it on my own"
I furrowed my brows and wondered why is she acting like this. "Okay, if you say so..."
Stillness was between us and soon,

KASMIRA'S POV:

"Do you want to go somewhere fun?" I asked.
"Like where?" He furrowed his brows while typing.
She smiled. "Let's go at the ocean park this weekend"
"Pass. I still need to finish this research and some other paperwork"
I sighed and nodded, at least he had an excuse for that. I smiled fakely and continued from what was I doing. And with that, I kept the ticket for now, maybe it wasn't the right time to ask him out.
