Matched Up With My Tomboy Childhood Friend

Not According to Plan

“Let's go to the bathroom,” she says.

Then I'm reminded I have to go too. “Okay, you go first and I'll go after you.”

She nods and gives me Sora's leash but grabs her baggage. He and I wait in front of the two entrances of the restrooms of each s*xes. After a few minutes, she comes out with a smile. She even changed her clothes into thick ones. She's wearing a maroon jacket, white shirt inside, grey scarf, pants, and boots. Oh, that's right. We need to dress in our thick clothes because it's winter here. I nearly forgot. The air is well regulated inside this airport. I couldn't even feel that it's winter.

“You look cute,” I compliment her.

She smiles and says, “Your turn.”

I give her Sora's leash and went inside the restroom. Oh, my God! It's so clean! The f*ck?! Oh, that's right, this is Japan. I should expect that the services here are top-notch. There are only three people here looking at the very clear mirror, talking in Japanese. I steadily make my way to an unoccupied toilet.

There, after closing the door, I changed my clothes. I wear a beanie hat, a grey t-shirt, a black winter jacket, thick, and boots. Oh... I feel so warm. I went out after I'm done. I find her leaning against the wall, looking at her phone while holding Sora's leash.

“Oh, you're done,” she notices. “Let's go.”

“Yeah,” I nod then we leave the airport. *Shiver* The cold wind blows on my face. I can even see my breath puffing moisture. I'm not used to this cold. Sora is doing well because of his fur. This is his homeland, after all.

“Are you okay?” she asks.

“Yeah.”

Even though I did say I'm okay, she holds my hand, sharing her warmth with me. I squeeze lightly. We call a cab to ride it and I don't know where we're going because she talked in Japanese to the driver. Here at the backseat, I put my hands on Sora's fur to keep it warm.

Heck... the buildings are so tall! The streets are lightly covered with snow, people with winter clothing walking on the sidewalks, and billboards that glow with neon and led lights. They light the slowly falling snow from the sky. The traffic is busy but orderly and everything else is just new to me. I can't read most of the signs because they're Japanese.

For like an hour—that I feel was just minutes, we get off in front of a building. Covering the top of my eyes with my hand, I look up and saw how towering high it is. It's piercing the sky. As we enter, I feel much comfortable because of the warmth. Everything is clean and orderly—as expected.

She takes me to the elevator with other people. Woah... even the elevator is very fancy. We waited for minutes then it stops on the 26th floor. She comes out with a blank expression on her face after seeing something from her phone.

“What's the matter?” I ask, following her pace.

“My parents are off to do something. They said they can't see us until New Year is over.”

“That's unfortunate.” We stop at the front door of the room labeled 2619.

“Yeah, it is,” she nods depressingly as she unlocks the door of the room.

“Just ask me anything I can do to make this New Year fun for you.”

She stops what she's doing for a moment, looking down. She unlocks the door so we enter. It's cold here. With a click of a switch, the whole room is lit up. Also, the heater is turned on. Once Sora is inside, I close the door right away to avoid letting the air escape. She removes his leash and he goes exploring the place.

There is a low table in the living room, along with other things for the traditional Japanese way of living. The overall theme of the room is wood. So, it's very relaxing here. They also have a couch facing the wide TV. There she goes lying down and sighing.

I sit near her feet and ask, “You want to see them so bad, don't you?”

“Of course.”

“Why don't you just study here in Japan so you could spend more time with them from now on?”

“I'm considering that but I'm considering you too.”

To show how glad I am that she's thinking about me, I reach for her hand. “You don't have to worry about me. Your parents are more important.”

“Fine then, if it's okay for you,” she says, not looking at me in the eyes.

“How about we just chill today. You and me, here.” I lie down on the sofa, putting my body behind her. My left hand is holding her wait and my right hand supporting my head.

“Okay, because I'm tired.”

She starts to sleep while I look at my phone to read some updates but I have no signal here. Oh, that's right... my data provider only works in the Philippines. I'll ask her later how to connect to the internet. Meanwhile, I'll sleep.

I... couldn't help but want something to happen here between us. I want to do more than just cuddle. I lightly squeeze her left breast without waking her up. My heart beats very fast, and my mind goes wild trying to remember the feeling. But... I must stop this. I'm taking advantage of her. If I want to do it with her, I might as well ask for her permission. She shows her vulnerability to me because she trusts me. I must not break that trust. It's clear now that I want to have s*x with her but it's too early. We haven't even had our monthsary. I'll take it easy and steady. So, I just brush her hair over her ear and kiss her cheek. I hope she feels it in her dreams.

She's breathing fine and her sleeping face makes me wanna sleep too. I give up trying to be awake. Then it was almost like a second later when I'm startled when she moved. I slept well enough.

“Let's go out and have dinner, babe,” she says. “I'm hungry.”

“Me too.”
