Madame Butterfly

July 22, 1964

It was two days later, that Benjamin was found standing outside the Motel, holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand.

"Young Master Ben, what are you doing here?" The young maiden was shocked when slide the door, and saw the lieutenant standing there.

"I'm here for you." He offered the bonquet to the maiden, shocked. Cio tried rejecting it but the lieutenant was a persistent man. Cio accepted the flowers with a sense of hesitation.

"Am I not allowed to talk to you? If yes, will you be willing to escort me around town. As you can probably tell, I'm new here. Don't worry, I am willing to pay you for your services."

Cio quickly perked up upon hearing the lieutenant's words.

He want me to--this is wrong. Totally wrong. A lowly servant like her is not worthy of such task.

"Why me? This lowly servant is not worthy to escort you. Would it be better for Young Master to find for a more fitting person? This servant will only ruined your face." She bowed and was turning around when the man large hand, gently, hold her shoulders.

[Note: Face - reputation]

"I don't care, what those people say. I have already chosen, didn't I? Now, if you please. Will you escort this man?"

She gently held her hands, caressing it. She turned away from him, nipping his lips.

"Please?" The man smiled, offering her shoulders.

Cio stared at him for a moment before sighing, accepting the offer.

"As you wish."

Cio escorted the lieutenant through the town, bringing him to every beautiful and peaceful places she knew. Such as valleys, diners etc.

Cio would sometimes blush and feeling flustered when the man would qoute sweet words to her.

It was so sweet, that her heart jumped like a rabbit on a run, almost melting.

The scene was surreal.

Almost like a sakura tree blooming in the cold winter.
