106 Before The Accident 1 (1/2)

The next day, after school.

Today they decided to ride public transportation. They got off from the bus and strode to the Yodogawa riverside. They walked hand by hand to each other as they watched the sunset.

Currently, it was 17:40 PM. She should be at home right now. But Daniel was here accompanying, so her parent permitted her to go home late. They trusted Daniel as their future son-in-law. He was a good boy and he would not do anything to cross the line.

In truth, he was holding his desire to pounce her. She became more beautiful as he predicted. It pricked his heart to hold her, yet he knew she'll reject it. She wasn't ready.

Under the sunset, they could see their shadow body and arms on the river surface. It was twinkling from the orange light and she couldn't help to marvel at the view. Daniel from the start, merely focusing his sight on her. She noticed his gaze and said, ”What is it?”

He asked, ”You're not sad anymore?”

”About what? Last competition? Of course, I'm still sad. But I don't want to linger it. It's not good for health.” She explained.

He curved his lips up and jeered, ”Really? Then who was the girl who kept complaining she wanted to be number one last night? Was it a monster?”

”Daniel!” She growled.

He burst to laugh as he pulled her to his chest. He placed his head on top of her head while stroking her back. ”Sarah, why I like you so much? No, Why I love you so much?”

”I don't know, why do you ask me? Ask your heart.” She poked her index finger to his chest. She halted for a second and kissed his Adam apple. He looked down and noticed her desire eyes.

He leaned closer to her as he tasted her seductive lips. He pried open her mouth and slid tongue inside. Sarah was astounded. This taste was new and different.

She circled his waist and deepen the kiss. After a minutes later, they let go of each other savor. Her red face was covered by orange sunlight, so he didn't catch her perplexing face.

They sat down on the grass as they watched the scenery one more time.

Silence.

Daniel initiated to ask her, ”What did you want to talk about?”

Sarah startled and nervously said, ”What do you mean?”

He plucked a dandelion flower in front of him. He cleaned it a little and put it beside her face. ”Pretty.” He said while slightly smiled. He continued asking as he turned his head to the river. ”You said, you want to talk about something. What is it about?”

She fell silent. With difficulty, she stated, ”I-I'm going to study in University T next year. There's a good major which I'm interested in. That's why I'll go to Tokyo.”

Ah! She said it!

She closed her eyes waiting for his complaining, yet she didn't hear any voice from her side a moment later. She turned her head to his while blinked her eyes. ”You're not angry? I'll be spending my four years in Tokyo, y'know?”

He messed her hair, ”Silly, you can come back to Osaka in school vacation or weekend. Osaka to Tokyo isn't far. I can also visit you there as well.”

”But we will in a long distant relationship. Are you really going to stay here? You're not coming with me?” She pouted from his carefree attitude.

”Yeah, I'll study here and help my father company. I can't abandon my duty as the heir. I'm sorry, I will make time to visit you on the weekend. I promise.” He helplessly smiled responding to her.

”Promise?” She looked at him fixedly.

He leaned closer as he whispered to her, ”Promise.”

...

...

One year later, Tokyo, University T's main gate.

”Hey, beautiful!” Someone called Sarah from afar. Sarah looked at the gaudy man and ignored him as she walked passing by. ”Wait! Wait! I'm not someone suspicious! Here, I have my business card. You can check on online, It's genuine and I'm a well-known manager.”

Sarah held his card and looked at the name. 'S&L Entertainment Agency, Kitamura Ryo.' She turned her phone and began browsing the information. If he was a fake. She could report this scam!

It turned out. He was the real deal. She averted her gaze from her phone and looked at his tall figure. He smirked, ”See! I'm not a scammer.” Coughing. ”Anyway, I saw you a lot lately. I heard you're the rumor belle. Umm, miss? Miss Sarah Ginga. If I'm not correct? How about this, let's find a cafe and talk something there, I can also treat you a cup of coffee.”

”Yes, I'm Sarah Ginga and I know I'm famous. Stop the chitchat and talk straightly. I don't have time.” She looked at her watch. She needed to do her task regarding their tomorrow presentation.

”Alright, alright, calm down. I'll get to the point. I want you, to be my model!”

”What?”

”Have you heard V Magazine?”

”V magazine?” Sarah looked at him surprised. V magazine was one of the influential women magazines. They discussed women love life, advice for lifestyle, fashion, etc. Every woman knew that magazine. The woman who usually modeled in front cover or most part of the page would be someone influential people or inspirator.

So, why did he wanted her to be the model?

He opened his pad and searched for his note which contained pictures and her information.
