New Life

Reveal Part 13

(Lin's POV)

The next morning when I opened my eyes, I saw that the sun was barely coming up. I then remembered that it was Mai's birthday, so I got out of bed and went to the conjoining door, I placed my hand on the handle and turned it and pushed the door open. Once the door was open I looked around Mai's room and spotted her asleep on her bed, and seeing that she was asleep I closed the bedroom door. I then got changed into the outfit I had chosen for today before I went to bed once I was done changing I went to go find my mother. I found her in the garden with some workers, as I approached she looked up at me and smiled.

"Mother is everything ready for today?" I asked as I got down next to her and looked at the tomato plant in front of me, I just pulled a ripe tomato off when she looked at me again.

"Yes every thing will be ready when you guys get back...you should wake her up and take her out to breakfast so she doesn't wander around and find something that she shouldn't. Also if she asks about your father and I tell her that this is part of my gift to her...for you guys to spend some time together." Said my mother as she placed a hand on my arm signaling for me to stop and get going.

"Yes mother I'll do just that." I responded and leaned over and gave her a hug. I then stood up and briskly walked back to my room once I was inside I opened the conjoining door, yet again I found Mai asleep in bed. I quietly walked over to the side of her bed and knelt down so my face was across from her, as I looked at her sleeping face I let a smile linger on my lips as I lifted my hand and placed it on her cheek. I then began to slowly rub her cheek which caused her to slowly stir awake. I began to watch as she slowly opened her eyes, and once she saw me it looked as if all of the tiredness left her and there was only happiness as she sat up in bed.

She began to stretch as she said, "Good morning Koujo."

I smiled at her and said, "Good morning Mai..." as I leaned in and hugged her I then said, "Happy birthday my aìrén." as the last word fell from my lips I watched as Mai's cheeks began to turn a wonderful shade of red. "Now you need to get up and get dressed I'm taking you out for breakfast and then we have to meet the lawyer..." I said as she looked at me with a radiant smile, I then began to pull her out of bed as I said, "Come on we don't have all day." Once she was out of bed, I pulled her into my chest and placed a soft kiss on her lips which drew out another round of blush on her cheeks.

She looked up at me and said, "Alright, but you need to leave the room so I can get dressed."

"Okay I will be waiting in the hallway for you." I said as I lifted my hands up in the air and walked back into my room and shut the conjoining door. I walked out of my room once I had grabbed my car keys, my wallet and my cell phone. I closed my door and leaned against it waiting for Mai to come out I pulled out my phone and called a restaurant they answered on the first ring.

"Emerald restaurant how can I help you?" Asked a male.

"Yes my name is Koujo Lin and I would like a table for two this morning." I said as I looked at my watch.

"What time would you like it to be?" The man asked again.

"I will have to say that we will be arriving in the forty five minutes. If that is at all possible." I responded to his question with an estimated time for Mai to finish getting ready and for the drive there.

"Okay I have an opening, we will see you then until then Mr. Lin."said the man before the line went dead, as I looked down at my watch I saw that it had taken me five minutes just to make a reservation. No more than six minutes later did Mai finally emerge from her room and she looked stunning, and instead of wearing her shoes she held them in her hand as she looked up at me. I was tempted to kiss her because of the bright red lipstick she wore, and her eyes looked stunning because of the brown smoky looking eye shadow she had applied to her lids along.
