Daisy
- Okay, thanks for the coffee, see you on Monday Daisy! - Marcus said and grabbed his suit jacket. He left without saying another word and that was when my knees finally gave up. I literally crumbled down the kitchen floor and grabbed my hair.
- BRIDE?! WHAT THE f**k JUST HAPPENED? HOW? WHEN? - I tired to calm down but all the breathing techniques of the world or motivational speeches I've read before couldn't help me. I got up and headed to the shower for start. After my shower I was still on the edge. I needed to release some stress. I grabbed my laptop, and searched for one of my favorite Anime intros from the serie "Your lie in April". Despite the fact that I couldn't bring my heart to watch the series itself, I loved the intro music. I sang from the top of my lungs on my mother tongue. My hair was still went and I wore only an oversized yellow t-shirt and a new pair of panties. My poor babies had no idea what got into mommy but I couldn't stay put. What happened to me was something out of a fantasy book! I didn't hear my phone buzz since I was singing from the top of my lungs using my hairbrush as a mic. When the last refrain came I stood in the middle of my bedroom dramatically and reached towards the ceiling in the most cliché way.
- "Kotae wa itsudemo Guuzen? Hitsuzen?
(Is the answer always coincidence? neccesity?)
Itsuka eranda michi koso unmei ni naru
(The path we choose will be our destiny someday)
Nigirishimeta sono kibou mo fuan mo
(The hope and anxiety that you hold)
Kitto futari wo ugokasu
hikari ni naru kara"
(Will surely be the light to move us two forward) - the music stopped and I felt like a proper Rockstar! For a second I forgot my meaningless problems and wondered, if I could still become a singer in Japan, when I was brought back to reality from my dream world. My phone rang I picked it up without looking at the screen.
- Hello! - I said energized after singing and dancing out my worries.
- Hi babybee!- Baby what? -I asked myself and looked at the screen.
- Mr Kane?!
- I'm fine, don't worry! Please come to the 12th district police station to clear up a misunderstanding.
- I'm heading out immediately! Don't move! - I put the phone down and quickly dried my hair, jumped into a pair of black jeans and kept the yello t-shirt on. I checked on my phone the fastest way to the police station but due to the morning traffic jams the fastest way would've been by foot.
- Thirty minutes is too long. Mr Kane must be in trouble if he called for me and not for Max! - Desperate situations require creative solutions! - I thought and grabbed my skates. It's been ages since I've used them but that didn't matter till they still worked. I out on my black helmet decorated with little flowers and bees and grabbed my phone, wallet and keys. I blew a kiss to my baby girls and made a mental note for myself to buy them something as a bribe for not letting them out this morning. I've skated to the police station and in less than fifteen minutes, I was already at the reception.
- Hey Miss! You can't come in on skates! - the receptionist said and I tried to catch my breath.
- You don't understand! It's an emergency.
- Babybee? - I heard Marcus's voice, he was sitting on the bench with an officer. I looked at him in disbelief but he winked at me. As if he said "Keep up the act". I rolled to him and saw the handcuffs.
- Honey! What are you doing here? - I turned to the officer and started whining angrily.
- Let my Honey boo go! Why are you restraining him like a criminal?! Don't you know who he is?! Wait till I call our lawyers. - Marcus's eyes widened but he turned to the officer.
- I told you. - the officer was in shock as the tiny, cheerful and bubbly woman started to lecture him. He took the handcuffs off.
- Sorry for the misunderstanding Mr. Kane. Miss Asano Smith please calm down. See, he is free to go. - the officer said and my eyes filled with tears. I was so exhausted and scared, then relieved that my body couldn't handle the sudden changes. Marcus stood up and held me to his side, for wish I was grateful as my knees trembled. s**t I need to exercise more...
- Thank you officers! Have a nice day! - he said and escorted me out of the police station. Outside when we were far enough from the cameras I sighed so loudly that Marcus chuckled.
- What?! What was this about?! - he was back to his usually gloomy self in matter of seconds and I immediately humbled myself.
- Excuse me for raising my voice.
- Okay. By the way, I could ask the same.
- What do you mean Mr. Kane?
- I was reported yesterday that I've kidnapped you!
- NANI?! - I caught my hands in front of my mouth. I got so surprised that I asked him in Japanese. Marcus grinned dangerously.
- Your little friend called the police that I've kidnapped you from the club.
- I'm so sorry! I'll talk to her, please pardon me! - I said and bowed deeply. Marcus grabbed my shoulders and pulled me in for a hug.
- Mr. K-k-Kane... - I mumbled and he whispered into my ear.
- There are too many preying eyes , so watch what you do. - he released me when he felt that I stopped shaking.
- Come, I'll take you home. - he said and I shook my head.
- I don't want to cause more trouble, also, I need to increase my stamina a bit. So I'll head home on these! - I said lifting a leg up. Marcus shrugged and got into his car. Max shook his head from behind the steer wheel and I knew he'll give me an earful on Monday. I rolled home and the first thought I had was. Is it too late to pack my things up and flee?
