New Life

Important Part 12

(Lin's POV)

       The next morning, I grabbed my bags that I had packed days before and loaded them into the taxi that was waiting outside for me and locked my house. Once that was done, I got into the taxi and told the driver to head to the air flight was not that long, but the layover was quite boring to say the least it was three in the evening by the time my plane landed in china. I remember telling my parents to call and make sure that a taxi would be waiting there for me so that Mai would not that I was coming home. When I got outside, I saw a man in a suit with a sign that said my name on it that is when I knew that my mother ordered me a car instead of a taxi. As I shook my head, I walked over to the man and nodded to him before I said, "Hello, it seems as if you are here to get me."

      The man started to laugh before he said, "Yes you would be right Lin your mother pulled out a favor I owed her, now come on we both have to get to our homes in order to have dinner." I laughed and nodded and followed him as he started to walk out of the airport towards the parking lot. When we got to his car, I loaded my suitcase into his car's trunk. Once we were both in his car, we started to head towards my parent's house as he did so I texted my mother that I would be there in about twenty minutes and for her to make sure that the front door was left unlocked. When I got there, I found the door exactly as I asked my mom to leave it, I then went inside and sneaked into my room and placed my luggage down. I wanted to find Mai, so I opened the conjoining door and saw that her room was empty, then I headed out of my room and started to search the whole house. When I finally came to the kitchen, I could hear Mai talking to my parents about what she wanted to do tomorrow for her birthday. As I opened the door, I saw that Mai's back was turned towards me and my parents were in front of her smiling and I signaled for them not to say a thing to Mai about me. I then walked up behind Mai and I placed my arms around her and pulled her into my chest and as I did so she cried out. I started to laugh just as she turned around in my arms and before she could say anything to me, I placed a soft kiss on her cheek. I quickly pulled back to watch her face turn five different shades of red I could not keep my laughs in any longer.

      She began to hit my chest as she said, "Koujo...stop it that is inappropriate especially in front of your parents. I know you have manners because your mother taught you so don't you dishonor her by doing this in front of her." she then pushed me away from her as she turned away from me and started to cut some vegetables that were on a cutting board in front of her.

      "Hahaha...sorry it's just so tempting, and I couldn't help myself self." I said as I went over to my mother and father, I gave them both hugs.

      When I gave my mother a hug she whispered in my ear, "Koujo don't tease her like that. You should tell her what she has to do tomorrow." I nodded my head as I pulled out of the hug.

      "Mai I am sorry, but you will have to wait on doing things tomorrow because we have something more important to do before we can celebrate." I said as

     I looked at Mai and watched as her faced dropped slightly.

     "Really what is it we have to do tomorrow." She asked as she looked at me and set the knife down.

     "Mai, we have to go to a meeting with a family lawyer of your family...I was contacted by a lawyer that your mother put her will with them and she wanted you to receive your inheritance tomorrow on your birthday. I know that this is going to be hard for you...and I asked him if there was anything that you needed for tomorrow and he said that there was nothing because you already know everything that he is going to ask you. So, don't worry about a thing and then we will celebrate your birthday after we get that done." I said as I went back around the island and pulled her into my arms.

      She pulled back and said, "But I though my mother didn't have a will...that is what the lawyers said when she first passed away." Hearing her say that had me wondering if this was real or if someone was trying to fool Mai.

      "Well if this is fake then we will handle it tomorrow when we meet them, okay." I told her as I looked her in the eyes. She nodded her head in agreement and she looked up at me and smiled. "Alright now let's go pick out your outfit for tomorrow because after we deal with the lawyer, we have some celebrating to do." I said as I pulled away from her and nodded my head to my mother signaling for her to do what we talked about tomorrow. I grabbed Mai's hand and started to pull her towards my room.

      Once we were inside my room with the door closed and locked, I pulled her body flush with mine and I placed an intense kiss on her lips. Mai then pulled me even closer if at all possible and wrapper her arms around my neck as she laced her fingers in my hair, drawing a shiver from me which caused me to smile into the kiss. As I smiled, I picked Mai up and if on instinct she wrapped her legs around my hips as I sat down on my bed. It seemed as if we kissed for what seemed for to be five minutes when in reality it was only a minute and a half. When we pulled out of the kiss I let my smile grow as I looked at Mai in her disheveled manner and without hesitation I leaned in and stole another quick kiss from her and as I pulled back I held her bottom lip in between my teeth and then released it. When I was sitting back and looking at her, I saw that her face was as red as an apple. When I look at her, I can't help the smile from growing at how much my feelings affect her. I then released her and allowed her to climb off my lap to stand in front of me, she looked me in the eyes and shook her head before she said, "Gosh...I don't know how to handle you one bit. Though what you were saying earlier was that true that I have to meet a lawyer?"

      "Yes, Mai I was telling the truth...now you need to choose an appropriate outfit for where we will be meeting. The firm that we are going to is very high class and they sort of have a well-known dress code even for their clients. So, go try on some outfits and show them to me I will be able to tell you if it works in regard to their dress code." I said as I stood up and pushed her towards the conjoining door. Once she was through, she turned while giving me a taunting glare and shut the door in my face at this I couldn't help but to release a laugh. The first outfit she came out in was a woman's suit, that was lack dress pants, a white shirt with a bow necktie, and a purple blazer, she also had on a pair of purple heals and she carried a black and purple purse. "Wow that is a lot of purple."

      "Ugh... it is not purple it is burgundy" As she said this, I noticed that she also wore a simple set of earrings.

     "Fine, though I think that is a little to burgundy for my taste and you would stand out very much." I said as I watched her tap her foot, then suddenly stop tapping it when I said that her outfit would get her a lot of attention that she didn't want. She then turned around and headed back into her room, closing the door behind her. After a few minutes Mai exited her room and I was stunned at what I was seeing. There she stood in what appeared to be a black leather pencil skirt with a tan sleeveless shirt that was longer in the back than the front, and she had a pair of sexy black heels, she also had a pair of sunglasses with a small black Chanel purse. The only reason I knew that it was Chanel was because of my sister she used to drag me with her when she went shopping and it was her favorite brand. I looked Mai up and down a couple of times trying to get a hold of myself, and when I was ready, I could not think of anything to say. So, all I said was, "Wow!"

     "Wow is that all you can say. So, is it a yes or a no Koujo I need to know?" she said as she placed her hands on her hips.

     Seeing her act this way I stood up and walked over to her and said, "Yes wow...you look stunning and the outfit is perfect. Now go change out of that and let's go eat my parents must have dinner ready by now." As I said the last part, I turned her around and pushed her towards her room where she yet again closed the door in my face. I hollered through the door, "I will see you when you are done, I be with my parents helping them finish setting everything up for dinner." I then turned and walked out of my room, closing the door behind me and went to find my parents and help them with dinner.

     When I found them, the servants were taking the food into the dining room. So, I called out to my mother and asked, "Mother...have you told father what I am going to be doing tomorrow?"

     "Yes, he does, and he doesn't say no to it so your all good." She said as we walked into the dining room. After I helped my mother sit down Mai walked in, and I helped her sit down as well then all of us began to eat our dinner. Once we were done, we all headed off to bed and slept the night away because tomorrow was going to be a big day.
