Chapter One
Unforgettable
I, once again can walk in the streets of my home city, Tokyo, Japan, after ten years of staying from America with my Dad and my Step-Mom. It was early November and it was starting to get cold since it was already night time. I pulled my coat tighter around myself and rubbed my fingers while walking on the sidewalk, passing by on different shops while observing the streets and tall buildings with glimmering lights. A lot of things have changed.
I just got back here a while ago from America, and instead of resting on my apartment, I decided to go out for a walk to think about myself.
Actually, I wasn't supposed to be here.
I just…ran away. It was all because of my Step-Mom, all she wanted was my father's money, and all she wanted was Father, and my step sisters too. I was not in the family picture, 'cause I was never there in the first place. All of their mistakes, they blamed it all on me, saying I'm always doing something wrong.
I can't take their attitude, so I decided to go back here, no one opposed me, except my Dad, but in the end, he sided with my Step-Mom. Good thing Grandma was here, and she helped me. Right now she had gone out to buy me some food for dinner, and call me after she finished making it.
There also another reason why I'm here, I got fired five time from different jobs in America because of my clumsiness. I sighed. Am I always doing something wrong?
At this moment, I'm headed at the publishing company to find for my childhood best friend, Tomoka Osakada, a journalist she is, but she doesn't look like it because of her hyper personality. I giggled t the thought.
I entered the 10 floored building with a box of donuts in my hand, went to the counter to ask about my best friend, but it surprised me when I saw my best friend was the one who was at the counter. I played stranger, wondering if she could recognize me after 10 years.
"Excuse me Ma'am, may I know where Tomoka Osakada is?" I asked her, smiling. She turned around to see me, and there she is, looking dumbfounded.
"S-Sakuno? Is that you?" She asked, and ran towards me, and hugged me tightly even though I didn't gave her an answer, I smiled, hugging her back and let go to talk to her.
"How have you been? You haven't changed at all! You still have those braids! When did you came back?" She shouted, making her co-workers look at us and laugh.
"To-Tomo, I just got back a while ago, you read my mail, right?" I said wiping my tears of joy. She remembered me!
"Let's go to my office, let's talk about you problem," She said, pinching my cheek. So we went to her own office and talked about all, as in all of my problems, my past life, school and…Love life.
"So, you didn't have any boyfriends? Ever? And your that beautiful?" She asked, doubtful. I laughed, not too loud, seeing her face like that.
"Never," I answered.
"I'm jealous of you beauty, 'best' " She gave me a nickname before opening the box of doughnuts and eating one. I giggled.
"So best, what are you planning now?" She asked, chewing her bread.
"I plan on finding a job, even if it's just part time" I answered, taking one of the doughnuts.
"Job? I know a company that recruits!" Tomo jumped, literally. Before I could speak, she continued her sentence.
"You know Seigaku company? The Real estates? Not only that, they also sell the best sports wear here and they're the richest company! It was owned by P.M. Nanjirou Echizen! I really want to apply, but I already have a job, why won't you apply? It is rare to be accepted 'ya know" She said.
"Who's…P.M. Nanjirou Echizen?" I asked, wondering what P.M. is.
"Oh, I call him that, but he's Prime Minister Nanjirou Echizen" She answered, taking a bite on her food.
"Oh, that's…Cool, what kind of Job do they offer?" I asked again. Wait, the richest company? It must have a good salary?
"Um, I don't know if it suits you," She said, unsure. "Suits me? Is there a problem?" I asked the third time.
" Being a waitress totally suits you, but I don't know if your still that clumsy" She said taking another doughnut.
"I've change Tomoka, a waitress? I can carry that!" We laughed both. I lied. I'm still a klutz.
"So, the salary-" I cut off, taking all the doughnut I was holding.
"500 dollars a week" Tomoka said, pointing her index finger at me. My Jaw nearly dropped and I nearly chocked. Without hesitation, I answered, "I'm in 'best', I'm totally in" I said standing up, clenching my fingers.
She laughed and pinched my nose before jumping, "Okay best, Tomorrow I'm free, you wanna go to the restaurant tomorrow?"
"Okay," I said and hugged her, "I better go now, Grandma might be waiting for me for Dinner, it's already eight o'clock" I said.
"Alright, let me ride you home" She said, showing me her motor keys. Wow, she knew how to ride a motorcycle?
"But before that, do you want to go to the restaurant? Let's just visit it" Tomoka pulled me.
Riding at her motorcycle on her back, clinging on her, we passed by some glamorous buildings, majestic houses and gigantic restaurants with shining and glimmering lights. Tokyo today really have changed. But I think it's rather cool, it's not polluted and it became beautiful.
We stopped beside a building, not to high, but it looked rich. "Is this it?" I asked. Curious. I was expecting something more since it was the richest company.
"Nope, look at that," She said, pointing the next building after the intersection beside the building we were standing.
Oh. My. God. This is the tallest building here in Japan! It's totally gigantic and majestic! I can't count the floors! Like a building made of the highest class of stones and…wow, I'm speechless.
I noticed a crowd in front of the building, the reason why Tomo parked us here, I also noticed a lot of Paparazzi. Is there a celebrity? If there is, I want to see one!
"Hey Sakuno," Tomoka grinned. "What?" I said, smiling. "You still remember our celebrity crush? He's yours now, I'm just his fan now" she said, tickling me. I laughed and blushed.
"What? Why are you talking about that now?" I said, looking at the crowd, still blushing.
"'Cause he's right there!" She shouted, pointing at the person with a scarf, raven-haired guy coming out from the building with eight other guys following his back.
"E-Echizen Ryoma?" My eyes widened. My celebrity crush…I'm seeing him in person for the first time! I'm in awe. He's handsome…
"L-let's go" I said, blushing. I don't want to let this distract me, he…he's just a celebrity crush anyway.
"What's wrong with you Sakuno? Take a good look, this wouldn't last you know" Tomoka said, even though she was already putting my helmet on my head and hers on her head, and we rode at her motorcycle.
"Just, I want to rest, he's just a dream," I said, blushing.
"Okay," Tomoka smirked before shrugging.
She turned the motor on and we passed through the intersection, and she slowed down a bit when we were in front of the building, behind the crowd. Tomoka was looking at the Tennis stars, I was too. I saw Ryoma's face clearly. I blushed behind the helmet.
I saw Ryoma looked at me, even with helmet, I know he's looking at me, and he smirked.
My heart begun to throb and I felt my blood boil as Tomoka sped up, leaving the building where my celeb crush came out.
. . . . . . . . . .
I woke up and stared at the ceiling for a moment. Surely, I managed to forget my problem, thanks to Grandma's food last night and Tomoka's accompany.
And seeing my celebrity crush. How could I forget that?
He has been my crush since I was twelve, the first time I saw him in the television, not just his looks, but his skills also captivated me. And I think this is what you called, obsessed with a celebrity, a Tennis prince.
Tomoka even said, "Sakuno, I think your in love with him". She said that last night.
I checked my cellphone to read any messages, and Tomoka sent one.
'Sakuno, sorry, I can't come with you today, I had urgent business, totally SORRY!' The message said. I sighed and smiled. Sure, she's busy anyways. All I have to do is to go to that building last night and inquire about the job.
I got up and combed my hair, ready to make my breakfast.
. . . . . . . . . .
It was just so fast.
I got accepted.
No ID, No application form, No interview, accepted.
I nearly fainted. I nearly didn't believed it.
Am I dreaming? A job with a salary of 500 dollars a month, and you got accepted just by saying your name? I asked the counter again, three times. And she kept saying that I got accepted and I must start tonight. Yes, I'm starting this job as a waitress tonight.
I rubbed my hands and breathe. Is there something wrong going on here?
The counter gave me the permission to go at the seventh floor of the building and gave me a pass to meet my 'co-workers'. She smiled, and said 'welcome to Seigaku hotel and restaurant' and gave me a handshake.
And there I go, excited, at the same time, nervous.
I just got a new job, without doing anything.
. . . . . . . . . .
It's been a week since I started working as a waitress. It was good that I didn't broke anything that can be broken here. And I didn't know that being a waitress and seeing other people smile, and people eating would also make you happy.
I got along with the other workers here too. I had met the manager of this restaurant, Nanako Echizen, the niece of P.M. Nanjjirou Echizen. She's gorgeous, and it was my first time meeting an Echizen.
She explained to me all, about the building, that it was a hotel and restaurant with more than 400 floors, first 20 floors were a part of them restaurant and the rest were Hotel rooms. She told me about the customers that all of them were rich people, and about the uniforms that P.M. Nanjirou designed.
I was wearing a light brown mini-skirt, white long sleeved blouse with collar, a brown frilly ribbon tie that match the skirt, and a three inched shoe.
But she told me that it was a secret about me being accepted here… I got a feeling about this… Well, never mind that. I'm happy with this job. I told Tomoka about this and Grandma, and I nearly became a deaf.
About my family problem, no one has contacted me, even my father. But I'm okay now, I have Tomoka, Grandma and my co-workers. They were my new family. I know I'm going to be okay. I know I'm doing things right.
Just now, Miss Nanako also said that her cousin will be coming here with his 8 friends. She didn't tell who, 'cause I will know it soon, she said. She also said that I must not disappoint the guys. I wonder who they are.
I went back to the kitchen to get the next order, when I heard some gasps and squeals coming outside of the restaurant, and I heard Horio, one of my funniest co-workers, sang.
"Heh, here come the princes~" He said in a singing way. I giggled. And the others followed Horio, singing a parody for the princes, were they the one Miss Nanako was talking about?
"Sakuno, please go to the special room, behind those glass doors and take these glass of Ponta drink, ordered by Ryoma Echizen, okay? Since your new, you must meet them, and remember, address them as 'Master' okay?" said by Anna, another co-waitress. I can't reject her cuteness, even though were both 22 year olds.
Wait. Ryoma Echizen? As in, Ryoma? Is this real? I slapped myself mentally. I blushed. Maybe ha's another person.
"Sakuno, are you okay? Are you nervous? Shall I take the job for you?" asked Azumi, another co-waitress.
"No, I'm okay" I said, taking the tray with the glass of Ponta before going out. But before I got out, I heard them say 'good luck' and 'be careful darling' and cheers of the guys. I sighed before smiling, headed at the glass door, avoiding stares from costumers. I just hate this mini-skirt.
I opened the doors and saw the faces of the people I saw last week, just after I came back.
My eyes widened.
I felt myself tremble.
My heart pounding.
All of them were the famous heirs of different rich companies here in Japan. All of them were Tennis pros. And one of them was Ryoma Echizen. They were all seating on a long platinum table with black table cloth. I stood there, observing them until they noticed my presence.
"Oh, you're new" The black spiky haired guy said, looking at me, smirking. I blushed lost of words. I nodded, and all of them started talking again. I held the tray tighter while walking at "Master" Ryoma's direction. He was looking at me straight in the eyes.
I pulled my self together before I make a mistake, not wanting to disappoint my co-workers as well as "Master" Ryoma. I maintained my proper posture despite my hurting foot and the uncomfortable Mini-skirt.
I was about to put the glass down, the glass in my hands, when someone from the group whistled and said 'sexy'. I was already trembling but I jumped surprised. I looked at the other guys. But I was more surprised when they started laughing.
"That sucks man!" The red haired guy said, laughing out loud.
"Hey sexy, nice Job!" Said the spiky haired guy between laughs.
"This is the first time I saw an uncool Ryoma" Said the brown haired guy. The other guys giggled and also laughed.
I slowly turned my head to face Ryoma.
What. Have. I. Done?
I just spilled the glass of grape Ponta on Ryoma's hair, face, and shirt. I panicked.
"S-s-sorry! L-l-let me get you something to wipe you-"
"Sorry? That's all?" He glared at me. I felt my knees weakened. I was cut off. Am I going to be fired again from another just because I've done something wrong again?
I gathered my guts and, "I-I'm just going to get something to wipe the juice out of you," I said with a tough voice, but still in panic.
I turned around to get a tissue or anything, but before I could do that, I felt a foot tripped me and I fell on the carpet with an awkward position. And that foot was Ryoma's. I can't move, my body won't move! Stand up!
"Bunny printed? Not so sexy!" The spiky haired guy's voice laughed. What did he just say? Then I heard them all laughed.
"Nice work Ryoma!" The red haired guy's voice said, laughing harder that a while ago.
"That is for humiliating me," That was the voice of Ryoma. I turned my head, still in my awkward position, he was smirking evilly while wiping his head with his own face towel.
My heart pounded faster than it was already.
I just realized. They were laughing at my underwear.
This is not happening.
End of Chapter One.
Should I continue it or not? I was thinking if you think it's lame, I should not continue it, but if it's good, then I'd be happy to give you a chapter two.
