" It's nothing really, some guys were here fixing my bathroom. The door was broken." She explained. She sounded timid making me more suspicious. I started for the bathroom only to have her block my way.



" What I you doing?" I asked with furrowed brows.



" Where are you going?" She asked back. Returning the same look I had



" I just wanted to check what was wrong with the door. That's it." I answered



" Well .....if you insist.." she hesitated before moving away from my way. " You don't really have too you know....it's already fixed anyway" she said as she followed me to the bathroom.



" I do" I opened the door that lead to the bathroom. Everything seemed good to me. The door looked fine. The place was clean. Looks like the guys did a great job.



" I will complain about the matter to the management." I said after scanning the room. I turned to face her. She was fine. Much better than my thoughts of how I had expected to meet her.



" There is no need. I have free meals all weekend" she smiled brightly. " Plus what's the point of complaining when we will be here for the night alone." She reasoned.



" That's doesn't make it any better. Anyway, was there any mishaps other than the door?" I asked her. My eyes looking beyond her, to the room she was going to stay in for the night.



" Nothing bad happened. I had a decent meal. Took a shower and got to see Tokyo through the window." She explained.



" That's great then. Am in the room just opposite yours. Incase of anything, you can get to me." I told her to receive a nod.



" Hey!" I recalled something "there will be a carnival this evening in the streets. Wanna see Tokyo up close?" I asked with a grin.



" That would be great." She smiled, and I tell you she had a wonderful beautiful smile.





Later that evening, it was about 7pm when the carnival passed by the hotel we were residing in. There were lots of people dancing and moving in merriment. Just by seeing the joy the in the group of people, this was going to be a beautiful evening.



Liv and I were waiting by the entrance side as the carnival approached us.



" This is so cool." Liv squealed at the sight of the dancers and the bands. The event looked colorful.



" C'mon let's go" I held her hand to take her so that we joined the carnival.



" Wait." She stopped us. " Won't we get lost?" She asked. She was worried about us. I chuckled at that. Am Damnon, I can't get lost.



" Liv, I have been here a couple of times. And even if we get lost we could always take a cab." I shrugged



" Your right. Let's go. Just don't let go of me. Okay?" She said emphasizing the last bit.



" I don't plan on doing so." I smiled a comforting smile.



We followed the carnival for some time. Took a few pictures with a few dancers, and the lights of the carnival. The great evening was starting out great. The stunts the guys pulled, were amazing and we cheered for them with the crowd. We ate weird japanese foods. Visited some legendary places. I was having a great time. Everything was merry until....



" This looks amazing, I wanna try it." She dragged me to a stall where man with a warm smile and chubby cheeks welcomed us sweetly in Japanese. He was roasting some yummy looking pieces of meat mixed with other incredible good looking ingredients mixed to it. The aroma it brought was so luring I really wanted to taste it myself.



I had been to Japan,yes, but not for moments like this,moments where I got to try out different foods, dance to band music, take silly pictures, visit places I meant to enjoy the view not steal something or look for someone . I was always here for business or to run some of Isaac's errands.



The man spoke Japanese which luckily I knew. I made our order in Japanese since the man seemed to know that language alone. He smiled at me after giving my order.



" You know that language? That's so cool." Liv seemed amazed by it. I smirked and felt pride swell up in me. The way she said it made it look like a great achievement.



" I know alot." I bragged.



" Don't swell too much, your not the only one who is young and knows alot of languages." She joked



" Ohh...am guessing you know alot too?" I teased.



" Well I know two . Quite well if I may add." She lifted her face to the side in pride. I laughed at that as I carried our plates and we took the nearest tabled



" Either way I am sure I am the only one you know who understands and speaks Japanese" I was confident.



" Don't be so sure."



" Why shouldn't I be. It's true." She smiled at me before starting to eat.



" Hmm" she hummed in satisfaction" this tastes-so-good-and spicy. I love it" she spoke in-between her chewing. She seemed to love the food. I ate a little since I wasn't much of a fun of meat. Liv helped me accomplish mine.



After paying for the meal, Liv and I decided to take a nice small walk for a bit before we grabbed a cab to head back to the hotel before tomorrow's meeting.



The night was getting colder each minute. We didn't come prepared for the cold. I was fine and okay with the weather, but Liv on the other hand was starting to rub her hands with her palms subsequently.



" Could you wait for me here." I asked her. Having her furrow her eyes brows at me. " No I will be back immediately, okay." I said to her. The furrow deepened.



" Damnon you want to leave me here, stranded in town?." She raised her one brow at me. She also moved her hands to gesture the place were in.



" I will be back." I said before running into an alley leaving Liv behind calling after me only to vanish when I was sure I was out of her sight and everyone else's. I appeared back a few minutes later with a black jacket and a pink scarf for her.

" Am back" I came to the Liv who seemed a little displeased by me leaving her alone for a minute. She was leaning on the wall with one leg folded up.



" Where did you go to?" She asked.



" Wear this" I said to her ignoring her question. She hesitated. I decided to dress her up myself, she didn't refuse to wear it because she knew it was getting cold.



As I was tying her scarf around her neck, I posed for a moment, when I noticed a drop of the chilly sauce on the side of her lower lip.



" Where did you get this?" Her voice sounded distant as I stared at the sauce then her lips. My mind went blank as I stared. I leaned in unconsciously.

" Damnon?" I read her lips move but I wasn't clearly hearing her voice. I was lost. " Damnon!" She shook me and that snapped me back from my daze.



" Ah..." I didn't know what to say now that my senses were back. What was that all about? What just happened?



" You must be cold too, here" she took off the scarf



" What are you doing?" I asked.



" Take the scarf, atleast we shall both be warm" she smiled. She must have thought I had frozen because of the cold. But I knew well that's not why I had frozen. She tied the scarf around me. She took a step back to observe her work and smiled in acknowledgement.



I on the other hand was just staring at her wondering what got me stuck for that moment.
