Chapter 11: Chapter 10

Well, I'm glad I didn't yell at Hinata. Okinawa is beautiful! The place looked like I had just walked into a movie, and the resort looked like a place that only high-class people would go to, but here I am standing at the balcony of the hotel room taking in the surreal view.

Hinata walked up from behind me and put his arms around my waist, "Do you like it?" Without looking at him, I responded in awe, "I love it!" He gave me a kiss on the cheek, "I knew you would, but now you gotta get ready."

"For what?"

"I made dinner reservations tonight!"

"Is the place fancy? Cause I don't have anything fancy to wear." He chuckled at my response, "I knew you would say that... Sooo, I went ahead and bought you something to wear." He started reaching into a separate bag he had brought him and pulled out a long red satin dress. I was jaw dropped, I didn't know what to say.

"Do you like it?"

"I, uh... What?" This dress looked so expensive and so chic. What was I supposed to say to this?

"... And before you say, 'I don't have shoes to wear though.' I already bought a pair for you. Hopefully they fit you because I was-" I interrupted him with a kiss, "Thank you Hinata... It's beautiful." God, his eye smile is going to be the death of me.

I hadn't worn something this nice in such a long time that it felt good to get dolled up. I slid the red dress on and decided to straighten my hair for once. I applied a smokey brown eyeshadow with a light red lip gloss. The heels were a dark red with a velvet touch to them. I personally did not like wearing heels myself, but that was because I was terrible at walking in them. After I was finished getting ready in the bathroom, I awkwardly stepped out, knowing Hinata was waiting for me. He was standing looking down at his phone until he heard my heels clinking against the floor. He stared at me up and down, his eyes grew large and I could've sworn his jaw would've dropped onto the floor if it could.

"Wow... I mean, wow you look amazing!" I felt my cheeks heat up and they probably started matching the color of my dress.

"Thank you..." I muttered sweetly, casting my eyes away from his. Hinata grabbed a hold of my hand, "Are you ready?" I gave a quick nod of agreement and we headed out of the room to our dinner date.

The restaurant was amazing, and the food was delicious. Hinata and I talked the whole time, with no quiet time between, and laughed over drinks. After Hinata paid for the bill, we strolled along a pier that had a beautiful view over the water with the moon reflecting on it. I overlooked the vast ocean and I could feel Hinata's eyes on me. I sheepishly looked over at him, "What are you looking at?" I said this with a slight grin.

"I was just thinking how beautiful you are."

"Stop..." I could feel the butterflies swirling around in my stomach.

"What? It's true! You are beautiful Tabitha." He gently tucked a lock of hair behind my ear and he continued to smile at me, "It's getting late, we should head back to the hotel." And so he held me at his side and we walked back to the hotel.

As we got closer to the hotel room I started to feel nervous. This vacation felt like a romantic getaway and I know Hinata ordered a room with separate beds, it just felt as though maybe something was going to happen. Like, maybe we were going to have sex. Hinata was getting a bit touchy while we were in the elevator and I wasn't holding back either, except I couldn't tell if it was the alcohols doing, or if this was something that I really wanted-drunk or not.

Just after we got back to our room, I stumbled into the bathroom trying to hype myself up. I think I wanted to do this, no, I know I wanted to do this. Staring at myself in the mirror, I couldn't recognize myself with all the makeup on. I decided to take a quick shower, freshen myself up a bit. As I looked at my naked self in the mirror, I spoke in a hushed tone, "You can do this." I threw on a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom.

Hinata was laying down on his bed looking at his phone, while still wearing his clothes from dinner. He glanced up at me and opened his arm outward, hinting at me to come lay down. I snuggled into his arm and laid my head down on his chest. I could hear his heartbeat at such a calm pace. How was he able to always remain so calm? I wrapped my free arm around his stomach and gently rubbed his sides. With his available hand he started rubbing my back, his touch felt so good that it started making me feel sleepy. He started saying something, but it sounded so muffled.
"Huh? Did you say something?" I could feel myself getting weary.

"You should go to bed. You're probably exhausted."

"Huh? N-no, I'm fine." Fuck, stay awake Tabitha!

"You're so funny." I felt Hinata's lips on the top of my head, "Go to sleep Tabitha. I'll wake you up in the morning." I couldn't hold on any longer. Once again, sleep won, and I lost.

The rest of the weekend went by too fast. I did not want it to end. We did everything that you would do at a spa resort; went to a spa, got massages, ate amazing food, and went to the beach. Of course there is the one thing that we did not do, we did not have sex. When it came to Saturday night, we were so exhausted by the end of the day that when I got out of the shower, Hinata had already passed out. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be for this weekend. I guess that makes me feel a bit better. It's not like I don't want to have sex with him, I mean I do, it's just complicated I guess.

Once Sunday morning came around, we packed up our belongings and headed to the airport. Everything kind of went by in a blur and I think both of us were just wanting to be back in Tokyo. At least I wanted to be back in Tokyo. I loved Okinawa, but it's definitely a place that's meant for a vacation. Too many tourists, of course coming from the person who's not even from Japan.

When we landed back in Tokyo, we kissed each other goodbye and took separate taxis and headed back to our homes. I was glad to be back, I just wanted to be in my own house and bed, even if it wasn't as glamorous as the hotel, it was still comfortable and that's the kind of lifestyle I enjoy.

Finally, I was home. I jumped out of the taxi and grabbed my luggage. I'm pleased I didn't buy too much stuff in Okinawa because considering I don't have any decorations in my apartment, I don't want to keep more stuff packed away in boxes.

Once I got to the floor my apartment was on, I noticed a woman standing close to wear my room was. I didn't want to make eye contact, but from what I saw, she looked like an actress. She definitely didn't belong here so she must be lost, or maybe she's meeting someone. As I got closer, I occasionally would glance up at her and saw that she kept looking at me. This didn't feel right, maybe I can get into my apartment fast enough before she says something to me.

The corridor felt like it was getting longer as I tried reaching my safe space. I could feel her eyes burning into me while I looked down at the floor. Immediately as I got to my door, I fumbled around for my keys in my purse.

"Anata wa tabithadesu ka?" Do I know this lady? I don't recognize her at all, still how does she know my name?

"Ummm, ikaga nasaimashita ka?"

"You speak English, right?" She said this in such a smug way, that I started getting pissed off.

"Yes I do! Can I help you?"

"Yeah you can actually. I'm Hinata's wife." What did she just say? I don't think I heard her right.

"Excuse me?"

"Judging by your expression, I think you know exactly what I just said... So, are you going to let me in Tabitha?"
