(1) I Love You: The Hotel Room

Megumi looked out over the gleaming city of Tokyo while sitting contently on the soft hotel bed. No balcony and the window—taking up an entire wall—didn’t open, but the view was still pretty spectacular from the 32nd floor. From way up here, she can overlook the lively city lights feeling like a fairytale princess in her tower, awaiting her prince. And speaking of prince, where was Hyde? Probably still drinking and partying with the band and some other friends. It’s been four hours since the concert, and Megumi had had enough excitement for tonight. So she left a little over an hour ago, exhausted and heavy eyed.

Suddenly coming through the door, Hyde pushed it open and stepped into the large quiet room. As the door closed and locked itself, he gazed at Megumi still in her dress. She had pulled open the long red curtains of the window and was now seated at the edge of the queen sized bed parallel to it. He smiled.

Megumi listened to him come in, but was too lazy to turn around and instead pulled her legs up to her chest and rested her chin on her knees. Hyde quietly walked over to her and set down the glass of wine he had in his hand onto the nightstand. He peered at her.

“You didn’t wash up yet?”

Megumi shook her head.

“How come?”

“Too tired…” she yawned covering her mouth and let down her bare legs, her feet gently padding onto the carpet. Hyde bend down on his knees in front of her then crossed his arms on top of her thighs and laid his head in them. “I’m tired too,” he sighed.

She stroked his head, matting out his wild, fluffy soft hair. It was like petting little stray kitten that had tirelessly collapsed into her lap. Hyde looked up at her with those splendid mohogany eyes. They glimmered in the dim lighting and made her smile. Extending his hand up to her cheek, he softly caressed it and whispered.

“You’re too beautiful for words, Megi-chan.”

She giggled with embracement then Hyde stood up. He placed his hands over hers and held them tightly. Leaning over, he carefully placed kisses on her cheeks and forehead. She felt like there were butterflies all over the room. Finally, he lightly brushed his lips over hers and breathed shallowly, hesitating. Hovering for a single moment before pressing his lips against hers lovingly.

Megumi felt her breath leaving her body, and found it even harder to breathe it back in. She felt his tongue slowly drag across her bottom lip and slipped it back into her mouth. He twirled it around hers, pulled away, and then kissed her lips again. His hands let go and crept up her naked arms. He slowly lowered her down onto the bed. Hyde hovered over her body as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

Now he sucked on her bottom lip while feeling up and down her waist with one hand, using the other one to keep himself up. Megumi felt his rough, guitar player-fingertips slide down the middle of her chest. He tenderly moved down to her neck and bit the gem on her necklace. He tugged at it for a moment, keeping it in his mouth and kissed her collarbone. The gem slid from his mouth and he kissed her lips again. Again, and again, slower, gentler, shallower, until it faded into nothing, and he pulled away.

She let him out of her embrace and he sat up straight. It wasn’t till then that she realized she was between his legs. He sat on her thighs and ran his hands over Megumi’s stomach. She looked up at that beautiful boy who smiled down at her. He had his tight black tank top on and fitted jeans. The slender muscles on his arms were more defined when he wore that shirt, and it made her blush.

“You’re so cute, Megi-Chan. I wish I could spend more time with you…” he said regretting.

“It’s okay. I’m happy as long as I get to spend time with you at all. I’m so happy just being with you.” She beamed.

He smiled adorably in return. It made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside, like he had just reached in and touched her heart unknowingly. He was an addiction, a drug that she loved to get high off of. And she fell in love with him for it. She fell for him. She was still falling. She was falling hard. How much farther could she fall before she had to admit it to him? Before she couldn’t take it anymore?

She didn’t want to think about it and sat up. She tilted her head upward and he tilted his down till their lips touched. When he broke away, he pulled her into his chest and held her close. Megumi felt his heart beating in her ear as he took her into his warm embrace.

“I love you, Megi-chan.”

She felt her entire body suddenly heat up at those words and wrapped her arms around his waist. She nudged her head up against his chest.

“I love you too, Hyde-kun.”

Megumi said it. She meant it. But was he being serious, or just saying it just because?

I love you, Hyde-kun…
