82 Book Three: Chapter Three: The Nova Luna Gala and Serendipity

Last time, Kaoru aired her dirty laundry to Aoi. He felt sorry for Kaoru. He is now forced to the situation of going to the Nova Luna Gala. Xavi forced Aoi to take me as his date. Aube is going to be a speaker that night.

Yesterday, as we were talking. I was thinking about Aoi's impulses so far. They remind of him again. That night, I put on that dress Aoi bought me. Aube came over so we could get ready together. Ally and Rumiko came over. Ally did Aube's makeup. Rumiko came as support. I heard a knock on the door. I walked downstairs and Aoi was outside dressed up. Are you ready? Aoi asked. Are you here wisp our lovely flower, Aoi? Ally asked. Wisp away means going to the Nova Luna Gala then, yes. Aoi replied. He smirks. I'm done with Aube. Aube, how about we drop you off. Ally replied. Aube looked at Aoi and I. Alright, we should leave right now then. Rumiko replied. After Ally and Rumiko left, Aoi and I left. Aube looked and was shocked at what Aoi's car looks like. Spill, what is their relationship? Aube asked. Right now, they are on the friendly terms but I feel tonight might change things. Ally replied. What do you mean? Aube asked. The atmosphere is rich and full of romantic vibes. Ally replied. As Aoi drove, I heard "Something Real" by Summer Walker, London On Da Track and Chris Brown on the car radio behind us. We were dead silent the whole ride. Until Aoi asked me. Are you ok going here? Xavi is here with Tomonori. Aoi asked. Yeah, I will not let that tramp get under my skin anymore. I replied. As we parked, Xavi was looking for Aoi and Tomonori smirked as she talks to her sister, Aya. I took a breather. As we walked in, Aoi's family is shocked. Uncle Aoi is here! Nicholas yelled. He is so cute. I replied. Hey Nicholas. Aoi replied. He picked up Nicholas. Hello aren't you beautiful tonight? Are you Aoi's date for this lovely gala? Licht asked. Yes, this was forced upon him and me? I replied. Why is he against this gala? I asked. Come this way with me. Licht replied. We walked to the side and took a drink from the server. Aoi's biological father is here tonight. This gala holds bad memories for him before the Yoshida Family adopted him. Licht replied. I see. I replied. We walked back. What did you talk about with her? Aoi asked. I am a married man. I would never come at someone else's. Licht replied. She is a special girl, don't lose her to his grasp. Licht whispered. Xavi walked over to Aoi and I. I see you came after all. Xavi replied. I saw all Xavi friends giving me dirty looks. Is that you, Kaoru? Dominic asked. It is. I replied. You must have a thing for rich men like that *oiran. Dominic replied. The similarities are too common, Aoi Yoshida is a rich man as well as Xavi Lazuli. Don't bad mouth my grandmother. I replied. Struck a nerve. Aya replied. As those "people" were aggravating my dear soul, I felt compelled to get some fresh air. You know coming at her like that was uncalled-for. Aoi replied. She will always be a gold digger like her grandmother. Her grandmother cursed the nation of Luxuria for her lustful temptations and given proper punishment of public execution. Xavi replied. That woman is the reason I am cursed? Aoi thought. You can go after that twisted woman if you desire. Xavi replied. Aoi looked at Xavi with such disgust. He went to look for me. Aoi walked behind me. He put his hands on my shoulders. I see they got on your nerves too? Aoi asked. I turned around. Follow me. Aoi replied. As I followed him, he guided me to an outside bar. As time passed, he talked to me. I started to feeling at ease. I looked up at the moonlit sky as it reflected on the glass. Aoi smiled at me. I became flustered. Aoi caressed my cheeks. He pulled my hair back. I blushed. He almost kissed me.

Stay Tuned.
