14 - Angel Kiss

While he was looking at Ichinose's sleeping face he suddenly smiled and thinking he was beautiful, his nose that is not high and not too low, his long eyelashes that it looks like wearing a mascara, the eyebrow that it looks he trimmer it, the lips that Asami wants to kiss and his eyes that ember look like.

Asami sighed again, hoping to bring back the past. Thinking that last night he thought of all the past when he and his mother were on vacation here in the villa. He reminisced about Ichinose when his parents were still alive with him tending the garden.

He remembered last night too that Ichinose was what he called Big Brother and he loved to play with him. Why didn't he remember that right away? It was late when Asami realized Ichinose said "You forget, huh?".

"Isn't that over five years ago? Isn't that time I was 16 - 20 yrs. old? And that's the last time I see Ichinose. Now I am already 26! Time flies, huh?" Asami thought as he muttered in his voice.

His mind deeply sunk back to the past that before the day they moved to America he was crying to Ichinose saying,

"I don't want to go and leave you big brother. I want to stay with you forever even though my parents get mad at me I don't want to leave you." he kept whining to Ichinose.

"Don't worry I'm still here when you come back next year, right? You don't have to worry and besides you will meet a lot of children at your age. You should go with your parents too because it's for your own good." Ichinose gave him confidence and hugged him just like not letting him go.

"What will happen to you? Surely, I will be lonely there. I can't play with you anymore and no one will tell me a funny story. You don't want me to stay here too?" his voice was disheartened.

"Look at the bright side,Asami." said Ichinose, they sat down and he cuddled his back.

"Not all kids like you have the opportunity to go to America. It's like these were meant for you, for your future to learn more, for you to be independent and more. Once you're old enough or your family wants to take vacation you can come back here anytime. And I'm still here working in your house, right? Although I doubt if you would still remember me as I'm probably an old man when we see each other."

Ichinose explains to him that there is nothing bad about going to America with his parents and he makes guarantees that he will stay in the villa until he gets old and he laughed at the thought of being old man.

That time he was only listening to Ichinose and couldn't understand very well what Ichinose explained to him. He kept staring at him like he was gawking while Ichinose was laughing. Then suddenly he kneels in front of Ichinose and he gives a quick light kiss or smooch. He was speechless and didn't move for a minute after doing that to Ichinose. Then he came to his senses and smiled at Ichinose and hugged him tightly.

Also he recalls Ichinose's reaction at that time that Ichinose was astonished because he gave him a puppy kiss on his lips. Then he gets a kiss from him too, then his cheek, his forehead and Ichinose started to tickle him. After that there are no more memories of Ichinose as he can remember.

"So, saying I forgot you is too much." Asami mumbled while massaging his forehead.

"It's not like I want to forget but since that day I went with my parents to Pasadena, Los Angeles it's hard for me to even talk to the other kids as I'm always crying and wanting to see you. But they are busy with work and time flies. I slowly forgot you." he added as he was trying to explain himself to sleeping Ichinose.

Asami's mind was suddenly interrupted by his phone when it vibrated. When he looked at who was calling suddenly he frowned at the caller...

He stood up slowly and sat next to Ichinose, gently stroking his soft hair and looking at his sleeping face. Slowly Asami's face is getting lower and lower to Ichinose's face and their lips are about to touch.

Asami startled when suddenly his phone vibrated again so he stopped himself from kissing Ichinose's lips instead he gave Ichinose's an angel kiss (An angel kiss is when someone gently kisses the other person's eyelid. It sounds uncommon, but it can be very comforting for the receiver.) and another kiss on Ichinose's forehead (A forehead kiss is usually shared with a special someone because of its affectionate and caring nature).

He left Ichinose's room to take the call and went to the balcony and sat on the chair while his face was annoyed with the phone call. He answered the call with irritation in his voice.

"Hello…" Asami answered with anger in his voice.

"Hello, Asami…" the woman replied on the other line.

"...." Asami waited for the woman on the other line to say something.

When Asami heard the woman's voice, his face suddenly darkened. Didn't think she would give her a call. He could not hide his displeasure because she still doesn't say anything, so he speaks…

"If you want to waste an international call? It's up to you…" Asami said to the woman he was talking to.

"But don't you know it's already midnight here and you're a nuisance!" he added and Asami's tone still traces the coldness at the person he was talking to.

"Another headache that hangs over me." He said to himself while holding the nape of his neck and intentionally let out another word for her to know that he was irritated.

"..." the woman on the other line didn't speak then suddenly…

"Asami, I'll be there tomorrow after lunch. I want you to pick me up there at the airport and I don't know the way. Also, I thought Uncle called you to let you know that I am leaving today." said the woman on the other line showing in her voice that she was overjoyed.

"Don't come and I have more important things to do and take care tomorrow all day." Asami replied coldly.

"And please tell my Father that I didn't get any phone call from him. If you are going to come here, look for a hotel you're staying at and I'm busy so I will not pick you up tomorrow." he added and dropped the call.

"God damn it! Why now? Why is there another problem? Will you give me a break already!?" He uttered an exasperated expression that he was already frustrated from the problems.

Another person has added to his problem, therefore he decided to light a cigarette to calm himself and go back inside after he smoked. Since he was irked because of that woman, it was better not to go back to Ichinose's room. He did not want to turn his anger on him like what he did yesterday.
