“What about I give you a massage, this time?” she asks.
“You will do that?” I ask.
“Yeah. Come on, roll over.”
Doing what she said, I roll to lie down on my belly. She removes my shirt and caresses my back. Oh... her hand feels good.
“Did you lock the door?” I ask.
“Yeah.”
“Make sure you did or someone will see us and misunderstand.”
“Don't be such a worrywart.”
She sits on my butt and my hard “thing” is getting pressed onto the bed. I can't help it. Her touch is so... good. *Sigh*
“You like it?” she asks.
“Yeah.”
Two days before the new year, Eli and I readied to go to Japan after asking permission from my parents. They agreed and I was so happy but succeeded in not showing it. My passports and IDs have been already prepared because Eli told me to process them right when we first arrived home. I just discovered recently that she already planned to take me to Japan months ago.
Dad drove us back to the dog daycare where she entrusted Sora. You could see in Sora's eyes that he is so happy to see her again. In the car, at the back seat, he's a good boy. He just lies down on our feet while my little brother is touching his fur. As we ride to the airport, I sit near the left window with Eli at my right. She and Sophia are now so close and they can relate to each other. I just stayed out of their conversation because I couldn't keep up.
“Be careful, both of you,” says Mom, hugging both of us in the airport. Dad hugs us too.
“We will,” I say then kneel to talk to my brother. “I'll bring you something good when we come back, Kyle.” I rub his head.
“Yay!” he cheers.
I stand up and say, “See you again.” to Sophia. She just smiles.
“See you again!” Eli says to them before we turn. I pull both of our baggage while she keeps her attention on Sora and holding my arm.
“Be careful!” Mom yells again.
“We will!” I answer.
They put Sora underneath the cabin after being approved. He's behaving so well. He's friendly to his handlers. Meanwhile, Eli and I ride the cabin.
“Since this is your first time riding the airplane,” she says to me as we walk to find free seats. “I'll let you sit near the window.”
I answer, “No, you sit there.”
“Why?”
“It's fine.”
She looks at me with raised eyebrows before sitting near the window. I sit at her left then a man sits at my left. The reason why I made her sit there is just in case... you know. I just want her to be safe.
The plane starts to position itself on the runway. It accelerates and I feel my back pressing against the back of the seat. She holds my hand while looking at the window. I look there too and see that we're flying! Wow!
She turns to look at me and smiles. “It looks awesome, isn't it?”
“Yeah,” I nod, trying not to smile too much. I can't help it since this is my first time riding an airplane. “I can't wait to see the ocean from up here.”
“We'll see it soon.”
“How many hours will it take, again?”
“Around 4 hours.”
“That's just like taking the bus.”
“Yeah,” she chuckles. “but now, we're riding a flying bus.”
“Right,” I laugh.
We don't have anything to talk about and just look through the window. D*mn, we're so high up! A few minutes later, she yawns and lies on my shoulder. I just feel her smooth hair on my cheek and smell her fragrance. This is perfect. I'm starting to fall asleep too. But I want to see more of the ocean from up here. I can see it but I discover that there isn't much anything to be excited about. So, I take a nap, leaning my head on top of her head.
Later, I'm startled when she removes her head from my shoulder. “Oh, sorry,” she yawns.
“It's okay,” I tell her, rubbing my eyes.
“We're near.”
It made my skin crawl a little. I'm so excited to set my foot in Japan! Then... through the window, I see the land. The Tokyo Bay! Tall buildings are everywhere! Wow! Tokyo is so vast! There's snow everywhere! Eli smiles looking at me, seeing how excited I am.
The plane starts to land. It shakes when its wheels touch the runway. Slowly, it decelerates. We wait a few more minutes until it's time to get off. I grab her small bag from the overhead bin then we leave the seat, lining up with other people on our way to the exit. I swallow before we step out of the airplane. Is this it? Am I in Japan now?
“Welcome to Japan, babe,” she says as we climb down the escalator. I couldn't say anything.
Wow, there are so many Japanese people here who look like Eli! What am I talking about? Of course, they look the same as her because they're Japanese! But I just noticed, Eli is really pretty if compared to random pretty girls we pass by. But don't look at them, man... Only have your eyes on the girl beside you.
At the baggage claim area, we wait, looking out for our stuff. We spot them and I drag them again. I follow behind her as she goes somewhere to get Sora. He looks fine when we found him. She might not even have to hold his leash because he's just walking beside her. Good boy. She trained him well.
“Let's go to the bathroom,” she says.
