DISCLAIMER: The only thing i own in this story is the plot...
AUTHOR'S NOTE: this was one of the stories i posted last year as one of my possible stories... i just changed th background of the story so as not to make it not sound like a rehash of one of my other ongoings... :)
Chapter1, Chapter2
“Remind me again why I’m here in your apartment when I could be in a club right now?” Shii asked Sho as he reached for another beer can from the table since the one he was just holding was already empty. “I keep forgetting why I’m here…” he added frustratingly.
Sho was just about to say something in response from his seat opposite his friend when they both jumped in surprise when Shii opened his beer can with a loud bang followed by a fizzle of beer suds flowing out of the can. Both guys turned immediately to the sofa in between them and breathed freely upon seeing that its occupant seemed undisturbed, almost undisturbed that is since he grunted in what could possibly be due to annoyance and buried his head deeper into the pillow.
Sho aimed one of his throw pillows directly to Shii’s face and was glad to see it making contact before he said “Are you nuts?!”
It wasn’t that they were both afraid of Jun, who’s currently face down at the sofa, because Jun is their friend and the apartment, to begin with, is Sho’s. But they also both know that Jun is not a very easy person to deal with when his sleep is disturbed and most especially when he’s still in the midst of catching up on it which he currently is in.
He had just worked practically 36 hours straight, being the second shooter of one of the countries premier fashion magazines and with the lead photographer just happening to call in sick during a location shoot 5hours away from Tokyo (Sho’s place being the nearest he could crash in which is why he’s there in the first place).
So in a combination of being considerate to their friend and feeling concerned of their own well-being, they tried to curb their noise (Sho had already offered that the guy sleep in his room but Jun said it’s too messy for his own peace of mind) with even the TV, playing a baseball game, was on low.
“What?!” Shii exclaimed as he dropped the throw pillow on the floor next to his chair. “I didn’t do it on purpose you know…” he said before he added as an afterthought “Well, maybe to a certain degree… If Jun-kun manages to wake up now, he might end up being in the right enough mood to go clubbing later…”
“After 36 hours of no sleep?” Sho snorted. “He’s not that addicted to clubbing to forgo sleep…”
“And what, pray tell, can you not forgo yourself when you too don’t want to go out clubbing with me?” Shii asked him instead, both of them well aware that they could just easily leave Jun in Sho’s apartment and not worry about his (or the apartment’s) well being.
Sho sighed. “I already told you… Mei-chan’s going out for a date tonight…”
“And?” Shii asked but when Sho just looked at him as though that’s a ridiculous question he just asked, he exclaimed “Wait… Are you saying that that set-up you two had in college is still working up to now?!”
Sho shrugged and replied “Why stop a good thing?” making Shii guffaw.
The ‘set-up’ Shii was referring to was actually the sort of unspoken but understood deal that Sho and Meisa had back in college. Whenever either one of Meisa or Sho wants to ditch a boyfriend or a fling, the former for Meisa and the latter for Sho, the other one would show up in a pre-agreed date to act as the real partner with the other one acting guilty for being caught cheating.
Of course, the fact that Sho has both the face and physique that could match Meisa’s strong and gorgeous looks and vice versa helped a lot to make their act sell.
Most of the time, it is Sho benefiting in that set-up of theirs seeing as the guy almost always has a date but with a girl that would rarely last longer than 2 months. But on the rare occasion that Meisa makes use of that arrangement though, she had only made use of it thrice, it is big. The biggest of which was back in the year before their final in college and she was set-up by an old colleague she couldn’t get out of herself. It turns out that the guy she was set-up to wanted nothing else but to take her to bed, whether she likes it or not.
And since Meisa had already made it clear that she wasn’t interested, the guy was already leading towards the ‘not’ part of ‘whether she likes it or not’ when Sho came in. After Sho did his thing and Jun, Shii, and Aiba did a bit of their own (although they really didn’t need to after Sho was done with the guy), the guy, who was from another college in Tokyo, apparently transferred out of his school and possibly out of the country.
“And what makes you think Meisa-chan’s going to need your services this time?” Shii ended up challenging. “From what I heard from Mao-chan and from what I’ve seen, seems like Narimiya-san is a decent fellow… Besides, he is Becky-chan’s cousin…”
“There’s nothing wrong with being prepared…” Sho simply said as he directed his attention to the TV screen even when he can’t keep his focus on it.
-----
“Cheers!” Meisa and Narimiya cheered, toasting with their champagne bottles as they started on the date that Narimiya had planned for the two of them.
They were in the restaurant of one of Tokyo’s most prestigious hotels in what could easily be considered a formal affair, what with the ambiance the restaurant has, Narimiya looking dashing in his suit and Meisa gorgeous in a (n almost) long gown.
It wasn’t really a situation that Meisa is not used to. In fact, it can be said that she’s been there and had done that. But there’s just something different about it this time because Meisa could feel that her heart had increased its pace. It’s like she’s excited, giddy even. And all because of the guy sitting across her.
When she saw Narimiya again in Aiba and Becky’s wedding, she cannot deny the fact that she felt attracted to the guy. He looks, well, gorgeous to put it bluntly but it wasn’t his looks that really pulled her attention back then. She’s already so used to attractive men around her, what with Jun, Shii, and Aiba adding to Sho in her mix. It wasn’t even the confidence he clearly portrayed that got her; she’s used to that too.
Maybe it’s because he’s a new good-looking guy in her world where she’s getting tired of them already. Maybe because there was something heartwarming about the way he smiles. Maybe because although he didn’t hide his interest in her, he wasn’t overly flirty as guys tend to become after a while.
Or maybe just because.
“I almost couldn’t believe it when you accepted my invite, you know…” Narimiya started conversationally after the two of them had taken a sip off the champagne.
“Why is that?” Meisa asked with a smile as she placed her glass on the table, part of her realized that he had already placed his drink back on the table too. How she realized it though was a bit of a mystery seeing as it’s almost as if she’s entranced by his eyes; she hadn’t seem capable of removing her own from it.
“You never really took notice of me back then…” Narimiya said.
The statement was plain and simple and Meisa didn’t really know how to react to it. After all, that was true. She tended to ignore the men around her back in high school, except for Sho of course, mainly because she wanted to focus on her studies. This is why she just ended up smiling in response.
“Besides, when I saw you and Sakurai-san together at Becky-chan’s wedding, I thought you two are still together…” he added.
The mention of her best friend’s name seemed to have roused Meisa as she finally got to tear away her eyes from his. She laughed as she started playing with the handle of her fork.
“Oh no… Sho-kun and I... There’s no Sho-kun and I… Nothing of that sort… We are and always have been just friends…” she said.
When she looked up again, she realized that Narimiya is looking at her with some sort of amusement in his eyes but there’s no hiding the interest in it too.

Chapter1, Chapter2
“Are you sure you’re all right?” Megumi Sato asked as she handed a cup of tea to the younger woman now seated in her living room after they crossed paths at the Stardust Company building where they were both under contract, the same place where they met each other for the first time that had somehow lead to them being friends.
Keiko smiled, accepting the cup as she looked up. “I’m fine Megumi-chan… I told you already…”
“Yeah… Because you walking along the hallways so absentmindedly and as if a hamster is running through your head is a sure sign that you’re all right…” Megumi replied, taking the seat adjacent to the woman. “Come on, tell me… What’s going on?”
“I’m fine…” Keiko insisted though her eyes said otherwise as her eyes focused on the cup of tea on her hands.
Megumi saw that but she just smiled knowingly and prodded instead “Try the tea…”
Keiko looked at the older woman and smiled in appreciation before taking the cup to her lips and taking a sip. The contact of the warm liquid to her throat made her close her eyes gratefully.
“I was told a good cup of tea has a calming effect… It always helps during heartaches and heartbreaks…” Megumi smiled, prompting Keiko to open her eyes to look at the older woman in shock.
“What makes you think that I have those kinds of heart problems?” she asked.
“Well, single gorgeous women like us have hamsters running through our heads only for two reasons, problems that are work-related, or problems that are heart-related…” Megumi stated simply. “And since you’re Kitagawa Keiko, it’s more likely that it’s the latter than the former…” she added with a smile.
Keiko simply stared at Megumi for a while. And then she chuckled humorlessly. “Some people would even go as far as thinking that I shouldn’t have a problem with the latter too…” she said.
“That’s ridiculous… You have every right to encounter problems when it comes to issues of the heart, especially when the guy involved is as rule-plagued as he is…” Megumi exclaimed meaningfully.
“Yeah…” Keiko agreed absentmindedly before her mind caught up with what she just heard and she realized what Megumi just implied. “Do you know something that I thought you shouldn’t have an idea about?” she asked.
Megumi chuckled. “Well, I have a not so wild guess, but yeah… It’s no biggie… The chemistry between the two of you was pretty obvious if you ask me…” she smiled. “You two make a really nice pair… That much was evident in that drama you co-starred in…”
“We’re not a pair…” Keiko smiled sarcastically before taking another sip off the tea. “We’re not a couple… We’re not anything…”
There was a look of understanding in Megumi’s eyes as she looked at the younger woman. “Do you want to talk about it?”
-----
Keiko didn’t really want to talk about it. Not because she wanted to keep it all to herself, she knew that part of the problem was that she only had it all bottled up inside of her, but because she didn’t really want to advertise how much of an idiot she’d become just because of one guy.
But years of knowing the woman plus the understanding look she had on (and maybe even the cup of calming tea in her hands) lead her to telling the older actress what had happened between him and her. And Megumi sat there silently, nodding at the right times, gasping at the right moments, smiling at the right words until she was finished telling her what she personally calls the story of her idiocy.
And when she was done, Megumi took one long sip off her own tea before she lowered the cup on the table and looked at her for a couple of seconds before saying “From what I’ve heard just now, you were okay with what you two had… What changed?”
Keiko sighed before looking away. “I did…” she said eventually. “I changed… I was no longer content with what the two of us had…”
“What caused that?” Megumi prodded.
“Days ago, Tanihara Shosuke-kun and his wife invited me over to his place…” she started. “We haven’t seen each other in a while so I accepted the invite and went… We talked… We laughed… We had dinner… We chatted about our lives... I met his kids… They were all so cute… They even let me hold their baby… She felt so fragile in my arms…” she added, a small melancholic smile on her lips.
“And you felt like you wanted to have a family of your own…” Megumi continued for her.
Keiko stopped short at the older actress’ assumption, but then, she shook her head. “Well no, not exactly…” she replied. “I do want to have my own family… But I know that it’s going to be difficult for me to achieve at the moment… But I do want my own family in the future…”
“What happened then?”
Keiko thought back and smiled ironically. “Tanihara-kun introduced me to his wife… Well, I already know she’s his wife but still, he introduced us… And he looked happy and proud as he did so… He introduced her…” she told Megumi. “In our current situation, the most he could introduce me as would be as his former co-star… That part is something that’s no longer enough for me…”
“Does he know?”
Keiko shrugged. “I told him… I’m not sure if he understood… But I was pretty straight up when I told him, no idioms, no big story… Whether he understood it or not is his problem already, not mine…” she said. And then she sighed. “I don’t need the big introduction… I don’t need him to introduce me to his friends… That’s basically pointless since I know all of them already, and they all know me… I just want to know whether or not I have the actual right of calling him mine…”
“What if he didn’t understand what you meant?”
Keiko stopped for a while after hearing that question. She thought hard. And then she sighed “Then maybe this is all just a game that should be put to an end already…”
“You’re willing to let it just go?” Megumi asked looking her straight in the eyes, a challenge hidden under those soft words.
Keiko held that gaze for a while before she replied “I can’t wait forever for him to understand… If he didn’t understand what I told him, I guess there’s no point in holding on forever…”
“But you love him?” came Megumi’s question.
A small smile lit up Keiko’s face as she replied “Yes, I do…” before it was wiped off again to be replaced by a look so sad. “I don’t know if he feels the same way though…”
“What? You mean he never told you those words?” Megumi asked incredulously.
Keiko snorted when she replied “Not when it mattered…”
After all, whispering those words of love right before, during, or after lovemaking would never, ever, count.
