Our Lives Together

Chapter 25

"Eh!? What!?" Ume exclaimed and Yuzu flinched from the phone
"Another business trip!?" Ume exclaimed
"Hey relax. It'll only be for three weeks" Yuzu said
"That bastard better not be thinking about plotting anything!" Ume yelled through the phone
"Mom! Calm down!" Yuzu said
"How can I be calm when I know he's done these business trips various times before? I'll call him-no wait! I'll see him right now myself!" Ume said
"H-he said I can go! I'll be going with Mei!" Yuzu said
"I'm going to kill-oh! Oh? Wait he did?" Ume asked
"Mhm. He said I could tag along with Mei. I'm also allowed to join the business meetings she will be having too" Yuzu said
"It's about fucking time he accepts your relationship" Ume said and Yuzu smiled nervously
"J-just calm down" Yuzu said
"I am calm but you two better call if anything happens" Ume said
"Don't worry we understand" Yuzu said
"And if he does anything to try to separate you two. Give me a call and I'll fly myself there to give him a piece of my mind" Ume said
"Well he kinda stopped doing anything since Mei always rejects his offers about marriage" Yuzu said
"And I hope he finally realizes you two are happy being together. Anyways enough about that old bastard. When will you two be leaving?" Ume asked
"We'll be leaving in the afternoon on Sunday" Yuzu said
"Okay. I hope you enjoy your trip together and remember to call if anything happens. Your mother will do her best to handle that bastard" Ume said
"Thanks mom. Love ya" Yuzu said smiling warmly
"I love you and Mei. Also, be very careful, okay?" Ume said
"Yep! We will" Yuzu said and ended the call
"What did Auntie say?" Shai asked as she held a can of beer
"Uhh to call her if anything bad happens" Yuzu said
"She still doesn't like the old bastard?" Shai asked
"Uhhh yep. Still hates his guts which is understandable" Yuzu said
"Hahaha! Well I'll try to let you have a relaxing trip with Mei. I heard there's a nice beach around that place. You might be able to go on dates and go for a swim. Maybe even see her in a sexy bathing suit" Shai said. Yuzu blushed deeply and punched her shoulder
"Sh-shut up" Yuzu said
"Pfft! Okay okay. I'll shut up about it" Shai said
"But yeah that sounds like fun. Unfortunately it'll be difficult with that bitch around. I'm hoping we don't see her that often or every time" Yuzu said growling a bit
"Relax. It'll be fine. Mei has you as her guard dog" Shai said patting her head gently
"Hey! Don't do that" Yuzu said as she slapped her hand away
"My bad" Shai said
"NO!" Himeko exclaimed which startled the two other women
"H-himeko-"
"Meimei! Bad idea!" Himeko said
"Yes. I understand it's bad to go but I'll have Yuzu with me. Even my mother will be coming along for some reason..." Mei said
"But why on earth would your grandfather accept it? If he heard your story then he would've avoided them" Himeko said
"I don't understand either. Besides it's only business" Mei said
"Okogi-san!" Himeko said
"U-uh yes?" Yuzu asked slightly nervous
"You better not lose Mei and stay with her all the time. Do you understand?" Himeko asked
"I understand, Momokino-san" Yuzu said
"Himeko, calm down. I'll be fine" Mei said and Himeko hugged her
"I don't want you to get hurt again" Himeko said and Mei smiled softly as she hugged her friend back
"I know you're worried but...it'll be fine. I'll be fine" Mei said
"Hmph! You better not fail Okogi-san!" Himeko said
"Of course I won't! I-I'll never let anything bad happen to Mei because I love her very much! Now get your hands off of her!" Yuzu said as she approached them
"We're only friends!" Himeko said as she held onto Mei
"Uhh Himeko..." Mei said and Yuzu sat down next to her before wrapping her arms around Mei's waist
"Ah hey!" Mei said
"Mine" Yuzu said as she pulled her into her arms. Mei blushed deeply as her face turned red and felt embarrassed
"W-will you two quit it?" Mei asked
"Yes. You both are acting like puppies fighting over a dog toy" Shai said
"Shai!" Himeko exclaimed
"Yes, my little angry chihuahua?" Shai asked and Himeko took a deep breath in
"Excuse me for a moment, Meimei. Please forgive me for being loud. We will leave soon okay?" Himeko said smiling at her friend before standing up
"Uhm okay?" Mei said
"Oh shit. H-hey hey wait! Himeko-"
"Shut up and stay where you are" Himeko said
"Princess! Wait!" Shai said
"Please don't make a mess over there" Yuzu said
"Y-yeah we won't! Ah Himeko! No wait!" Shai whimpered
"I said stay!" Himeko said. The other couple stayed in the couch and Yuzu cuddled against Mei's body
"Hey Mei" Yuzu whispered in her ear
"D-don't whisper in my ear l-like that" Mei said as she covered her ear while blushing deeply. Yuzu grabbed her wrist as she pulled it away from her ear
"Y-yuz-"
"Can we...do it tonight?" Yuzu whispered softly which sent shivers down Mei's spine. Her heart started racing while her body was heating up. She pulled away from Yuzu and Yuzu couldn't help but kiss her hand
"I'll take that as a yes" Yuzu giggled softly
