Today was a stressful Monday for Hikaru, who groaned while parking into the garage of the condo. Aija had taken the day off for some reason and because of that, there was nobody at the front. That would have been fine on a calmer day, but as if fate was working against him and the others, there was an explosion of patients. Some had been called in during the day and Shae, not really knowing what she was doing, fit them in very tight with other appointments. Hikaru, Andrew, and Chris had to rush to see patients. That in return made for some disappointed people who vowed never to come to the clinic again. The situation was unacceptable and Ryutaro made sure to let every worker in the clinic know.

Then there was a phone call that Hikaru had gotten right before his lunch break that went a little something like this:

"Hello?"

"It's been a long time. When are you going to come back to see me, Hikaru?"

"Wait, who is this? Nicole?"

"Yes? Were you expecting someone else?"

"What are you calling me for? I'm at work."

"I want to know why we aren't seeing each other like we used to. This isn't like you."

"How do you know what I'm like? Every time I came  to you it was only sexual."

"You make sexual sound so...impersonal."

"Isn't it?"

"NO! We have something Hikaru. Something special."

"Tell me how you figure that, Nicole from the time we spent together."

"The way you whispered sweet things to me, the way our bodies moved in unison. You can't tell me you didn't feel that."

"You're delusional. I ordered you to move to different positions, but that's it."

"But, Hikaru-"

"Let me make this short. I'm with somebody now."

"W-What? With somebody? Who?"

"That's none of your business."

"It's that one girl isn't it? The one who threatened to hurt me? You'd stay with that poor excuse of a woman?"

"Aija isn't a poor excuse of anything. She's more than enough for me and I'm satisfied with everything she gives me."

"Now, wait a minute..."

"I need to go to lunch. I'd appreciate it if you didn't call me. If need be, I'll call you."

"Please, Hikaru..."

Hikaru didn't hear anything else as he hung up the phone. He was truly beside himself, however. How was it that these women were just falling head over heels in love with him? Didn't they see him? How cold and aloof he was around people? Granted, he didn't grow up like that, but that's how he was now. Yet, Nicole was throwing herself at him and though Aija wasn't, he could see the same emotion in her eyes. She loved him, but he didn't know why or how to handle it.

Hikaru sighed as he laid his head back on his seat. He didn't lie to Nicole earlier. Aija was everything he ever wanted in a woman. She was smart, funny, had a charming personality and was so very classy. Her body was magnificent. Hikaru smirked as he began to think about that body that he knew so very well. The way her breasts filled into his hands so soft and round and how he loved to squeeze and caress them before fitting his mouth over her nipples.
