Kissed by the Baddest Bidder - Heartbreak by Business (1st Story)

Chapter 9- The Last Straw

I am cleaning one of the rooms in the hotel, paying close attention to the details. I love my job despite the drama of my life right now. Eisuke has been calling the house starting arguments with Baba nightly. But the baby has started to become more active, responding to me in big ways. Soryu and the other regularly visit us and are excited for the baby. Ota and Baba are debating on the name of my Blip, coming up with some...interesting suggestions. All in all nothing has changed, except the lack of Eisuke. If I were honest to myself I wanted him to be the one going to get my craving food and looking after me in the night. But he's with her, respect that my head echoes.

I look up and sigh heavily, concentrate I tell myself. I continue cleaning the suite taking special care to please my Boss, Takao. I come out of suite having finished my rooms for the day- buzz buzz buzz.

The pager is buzzing for the penthouse, I decide to go straight up to the penthouse. I enter after knocking, "Excuse me-"

In the vast room the group is sat in the living area, Eisuke with Mercedes as usual. I feel a soft thud in my stomach, I know Blip...I know. "How can I help?" I say with the realest smile I can muster.

"Coffee" Eisuke says, looking up from his laptop with soft brown and hazel eyes.

"Hey Cookie! Can I get a cookie actually?" Ota says, reminding me of a small school boy.

"Of course Ota, the usual guys?" They all nod and I go to prepare the food and drinks.

As I return, Mercedes is brooding in the corner of the sofa. "Get me a drink, bitch" she sneers. I am taken aback shocked. What happened to 'babe' I wonder?

"Hey" Soryu interrupts. "Don't call her that." he warns coldly. My heart leaps at his protective nature so much that I go to get the drink without a word.

"Hey kid, any developments with the child?" Mamoru ask, putting his box of cigarettes away. All of the guys together managed to convince him not to smoke in front of me.

"Yeah, my Blip has started kicking. It loves me singing, the baby always responds." I say cheerfully, rubbing my stomach.

Soryu looks up, smiling gently, "Really? Isn't it a little early" I nod at his questioning. It was.

"Hold on," I sit down between Ota and Soryu. Baba and Mamoru are in front but Eisuke is on the L shaped sofa with Mercedes off to our right.

I take Soryu hand, much to everyone's surprise I place it on my stomach. I begin to sing 'Lost boy' a favourite song when I was a child about Peter Pan:

There was a time when I was alone. Nowhere to go and no place to call home. My only friend was the man in the moon. And even sometimes he would go away too.

[Verse 1] Then one night, as I closed my eyes I saw a shadow flying high. He came to me with the sweetest smile Told me he wanted to talk for awhile. He said... Peter Pan that's what they call me I promise that you'll never be lonely. And ever since that day...

[Chorus] I am a lost boy from Neverland. Usually hanging out with Peter Pan. And when we're bored we play in the Woods. Always on the run from Captain Hook run, run lost boy, they say to me. Away from all of reality. Neverland is home to lost boys like me and lost boys like me are free.

[Verse 2] He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe, believe in him and believe in me. Together we will fly away in a cloud of green. To your beautiful destiny. As we soared above the town that never loved me I realized I finally had a family. Soon enough we reached Neverland. Peacefully my feet hit the sand and ever since that day...
