(2) I Love You: Good Morning To You

Hyde decided to stay a little bit longer in Tokyo before finally flying back home. Megumi didn’t mind though. She’s pretty much gotten used to living out of a suitcase. After all, being the girlfriend of the hottest Japanese rock star, wasn’t supposed to be totally luxurious. There were downsides too, but luckily not too many, and definitely not anything she couldn’t handle.

Megumi was awake, but had stubbornly refused to open her eyes to the sun flooded room. She didn’t want to get up just yet. Not when she was all warm and snuggled up under the covers with Hyde. She didn’t want to leave his side. So she remained still and unconscious to Hyde’s watchful and dark honeyed eyes.

He smiled at the sight his sleeping beauty. One kiss on the lips really would be all it would take to wake her up, but he left her for now. It was a long alcohol intoxicating night and she needed her beauty rest. Hyde lay shirtless on his side and rested his head on the palm of his upright arm. The other was gently laid across Megumi, who had curled up against him in the middle of the frigid night. Or at least, that was her excuse.

Megumi’s head restfully lay upon the fluffy white pillow beside his, her chestnut hair splayed out behind. Her lips, soft and pink, perfectly curved and undisturbed. Eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she shifted a little closer to him. He felt her skinny arms bend up against him and the sheets ticklishly slid off, reveling her bare shoulder. She was beautiful.

Hyde dragged his fingers over her skin before pulling off the sheets a little further and kissing it gently. She smiled.

“You little trickster, pretending to be asleep,” he exclaimed and tore off the covers. He tickled her sides as punishment and Megumi squealed.

“Stop! Stop!” she cried laughing.

Hyde paused and got on top of her. He kissed her lips. Then he glanced down at her body, tightly wrapped in a pink silk nightgown. He rubbed her shoulders under the straps and touched her chest with his lips. Catching her off guard again, her tickled her.

“Hyde!” she struggled playfully, “No!”

He laid down giggling and now Megumi was hovering over him. Her eyes went down to his black boxers then up to his naked chest and back to his gorgeous face. She felt her cheeks flame up, but Hyde gave her a closed lip smile and stoked them. She put her hand over his to hold it there and smiled back. He was warm. He was gentle. He seemed to sparkle in the morning light, like an angel from heaven.

“You’re so cute Megi-chan.”

“You’re cute too,” she said shyly. And gave him a kiss. Hyde carefully put his other hand up behind her head to keep it in place, nice and low. He slowly kissed her, over and over again. She closed her eyes, feeling the inside of her melting away. Then he bent his arms around her waist and pressed her into him. Hyde could feel her weight on his body as she fingered his tangled coffee hair.

“We should get up,” Megumi said sadly, regretting that smile from before.

“I don’t want to.”

“Me neither, but…” she thought for a moment, “we can go get breakfast. Are you hungry?”

He shrugged.

“Well, I don’t want you to be late for the final tour meeting.”

“I won’t be. What? Are you trying to get rid of me?”

“N- No! Of course not!” she said. “I would never do that. I want you here. I always want you here.” She buried her face in Hyde’s chest, hoping there wasn’t that misunderstanding. He laughed.

“I was kidding. I know you want me here.” He kissed her worried head before saying, “Come on. Let’s go downstairs.”

Megumi rolled off and Hyde sat up on the edge of the messy bed. She crawled over to sit beside him. He leaned over, kissed her, then got up to head for the bathroom. When she heard the door lock, she sighed and collapsed onto the covers, her hand running over the warm place he was just laying on. Lying on her back, she listened for the bathtub water to start. And then she closed her eyes and thought of him, sitting in the steaming water as she waited for her turn.
