One More Night

"Sorry Ma'am, we made a mistake for the room reservations. It seems like it's a double booking." Said the attendant on the line

"I see that it can't be helped, so can you just prepare another room so that one of us can transfer. I don't mind waiting." Yuuki replied

"My apologies, but all rooms are occupied already with the guests of the ship, there's nothing more I can do with the situation." It was like she was being played or something that makes he irritated and raised her voice

"What do you mean by that!?" Tezuka, who is waiting on the couch, stands and interferes with the conversation. He grabs the phone and talks with the attendant on the line.

"Are there any other things you can do? There's at least one room or cabin available in this ship?" he said

"There is a cabin sir, but we cannot recommend it to you since you are listed as one of Atobe-sama's guests. If he discovers our mistake, we are begging for your pardon Sir." He knows that the attendant is sincere about the apology, however what will they do about it? He looks at Yuuki who is crossed-arms and waiting patiently for what will be the result of the conversation with the attendant.

Same physique, same statue, same voice,

Her eyes, nose... and lips...

"Okay, I understand..." Then he hung up on the phone.

"What did he say? Will they prepare a room already?" she asked as she tilted her head, it's the same habit she has when she's getting nervous and irritated.

He remembers those days they spent together.

"There's nothing they can do anymore. I pity them if we complain to the management, since the Atobe Group is their client. A mistake like this will not be tolerated." He explains

"So what will we do?" her eyes widened with worry, it like way back in school, she looks so childish and look not like her age

"Sleep." He replied with the same stoic face he has, it's been years since the last time she saw this handsome face

"What do you mean?" she snapped

"Let's just sleep and wait tomorrow so that they can arrange a new room for one of us." He went to the side table and starts to remove his tie and coat

"No way!" it was a firm and clear voice of objection

"Then what are you going to do?" he asked, testing her if she has other plans

"I will talk to Megumi or the other girls, I'll ask if I can come over in their room I guess" she tried to calm herself and was about to pick up her luggage

"so she doesn't really want to spend the night with me..."Tezuka said in his mind

"If you do that you might disturb their private time together." He empathize that term

"What private time are you talking about?" with her puzzled expression, he is trying to suppress his laughter, this adorable face of hers is never tiring. She's that old and still as innocent as a lamb.

"What I mean is that you might disturb their love making at their private rooms" he said in reluctantly

"What!? How could you say so?" she blushes at the thought Tezuka would say something so boldly at her, is he really Japanese or living in a foreign country changes him for being bold?

"I think they have been staying together, those couples I mean. And I don't think you or I don't even have the guts to disturb them. Why do you think Atobe chose this Cruise ship? It's because he wants some time with his wife together, he even reserved a separate room for their children. Even Oishi and Aoi who recently got engaged is sharing the same room, the same goes for the other couples that we have known, at this hour they might be lo---"

"STOP! Don't say a word anymore!" she is exhausted for some reason, at the same time flustered for hearing random and embarrassing thoughts that the other people will be doing

"I'll just go to someone I know who is alone." That's her final decision; she can't be in the same room with this man and prefers to leave

"Are you going to him?" he asked

"Huh?" she was surprised with the way he asked her, she realized that he was referring to Tokugawa, so she turns around and replied with another question

"Why do you even care?" she replied and regretted saying such a sentence because Tezuka's aura changed bitterly, his brows twitched and upturned lips, he's not pleased with the way she answered. But why does she have to be afraid if he was displeased with her answer? She's not related to this man anymore.

"What? Why are you looking as if you're gonna want me whole and alive?" trying her toughest face

"Are you afraid? Or do you prefer to be eaten by that man instead?" his eyes shows an angered expression with a bit of malice

"I'm not, and I think I should leave now. It's better than to be humiliated by your malicious way of thinking!" she was disappointed with him, it's not the same person that she treasured long ago, so it's better to sever all the remaining ties between the two of them. But, how? There's one more thing that no matter what she does, she can't erase the existence of that connection with this guy.

It hurts her chest, she thought she was over it for a long time, but then the wound was opened again. This is the reason why she's declining to attend this cruise party, she knows that her resolve wasn't that strong enough. But Tokugawa encouraged her and told her to confirm what truly her heart and mind wanted. Is this the reason why he suggested it? To make her realize that she was fooling herself all along that she hasn't moved on yet?

The thought of it makes her sick and she felt like her stomach was about to turn around, her heart beats faster than normal and she's sweating cold. She grabs her luggage and is about to walk out the room when Tezuka, in only a few stops, reaches her and grabs her wrist that makes her turn around face to face with him.

"Hey! It hurts!" she flinches on how tight he was grabbing her wrist, she look up at his eyes

Before it was only a simple angered expression, but now it is deeper... darker... it's hatred towards her.

"So you are blatantly telling me that you have that sort of relationship with that guy?" he asked her

"You're hurting me Tezuka!" she's trying to be free from his tight grip

"So after you bid your goodbye you ended up with that guy and let him do whatever he pleases you!?" his reasoning is out of the question, why is he being so out of temper? What does it have to do with him? And why does he have to say such hurting words

She slaps him with her other free hand

"How dare you! You don't know anything, stop saying rude things to me!" she burst out with tears, how did it end up with this kind of conversation? Why do they need to talk about their past?

"You're right, I don't know anything... that's why I don't understand why you left me?" from hatred to misery, his grip loosened up a bit, but she still can't get away.

"Please stop, don't do this to me..." she's still sobbing the pain in her chest won't go away

"Why? Yuuki? I gave everything that I have, but why? I still love you so..." with his confession left her blank, she was not able to resist when he leaned forward and kissed her.

He cupped the back of her head and wrapped his other arm around her so strongly that she couldn't pull herself out. It was a hard kiss. There's the tangy taste with the kiss, he forcibly enters his into her and seeks for a deeper kiss that almost cuts their breath. He was not content that he pinned her on the walk and sucked harder. She was writhing with pain? pleasure? Her head is full and can't get this out straight. They both gasped for air when the kiss had ended, he licked the dried tears on her cheeks. She was surprised that he kissed her now.

"No, stop it... l-let go..." she has no force to push him away, although she protests he still continues on kissing from her cheeks down to her shoulder blades. It was like he's raining her with tender bites and her knees are about to give up.

"You can't do this, no!" At last she gave it her all to push him away from her, she got down on the floor and hugged herself.

"You and I can't do this, you can't touch me. You have someone else already, you can't!" she's trying to call herself and holding back. It will be a problem if she will give in with his teasing.

To her surprise, he kneels down an inch closer to her, on her reflex she tries to back away that makes her pinned to the wall.

"There's no escaping from me Yuuki..." he said with a blazing desire in his eyes

"But you have your lover with you! You can't do such a thing! We don't have any sort of relationship anymore!"

"If you 're talking about Maria, she already broke up with me and left on the cruise ship. So it'll be no problem anymore" he was about to give her a kiss again when she covered his lips that surprised him

"I am not a thing that you can do anything that you want! After all those humiliations, how could you say such things as if I am your own? I am free by myself, no one owns me!" she's now angry

"Telling me that I let Tokugawa do whatever he pleases me, that's so ridiculous! Is that what you think of me? I can't believe it! After I left you I did nothing of those things you're accusing me! I never have any other man except for you!`` She bursts out crying again, which snaps back Tezuka and regrets his harsh action toward Yuuki.

His expression soften as he watches her cry,

"Ah... I made you cry..." he got a sad expression on his face, he pulled her to his and pats her to calm her down.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... please don't cry..." he's giving kisses to her forehead and wiping her tears away

"Just snap out of it, I'm leaving!" she said like a child with tantrums, but he held her tight in reflex

"Don't go to him!" he stops her

"What are you talking about? I'm going to Tatsuki Nee-san! I'm not going to Tokugawa-kun!" she tries to free herself, they were like idiots

"No, she's with Sanada"

"What?"

"Those two are dating"

"And so? I'll ask Chirou-chan to switch with me, he'll stay here instead" she really is mad

"Don't leave me!" and he kissed her again

"Wah! Why again!? Stop it!"

"Why not?"

"You're not my lover!"

"And who's your lover?"

"...no... no one..." she was caught that there's no really an intimate relationship between her and Tokugawa

"Then let me be your lover again, and this time marry me!" he said out of nowhere that ruined the romantic atmosphere

She was dumbfounded

"Tezuka Kunimitsu, are you out of your mind?" her eyes wide opened

"No and this time I'll make you give in and I'll make you pregnant with my child so there's no helping in and you can't decline!" he starts to attack her

"What!? Are you an idiot? No!!!"
