Lust For Love

"How was the tour, honey?" Her mother asked her as her father drove and looked at her through the review mirror. "It was fine.." She lied, looking out the window, trying to erase the thoughts of what had happened. "That boy looks awfully familiar. He looks like a nice boy, I swear I've seen him before." Her mother pondered as they drove on. "What's his name?" She asked. "Atobe Keigo" Mizuka murmured. "ATOBE?!" Her father stomped on the breaks that sent her chest ramming into the seatbelt tightly. "DAD!" She yelled in pain. Her father turned in the driver's seat to look at her. "Atobe is in Hyotei Academy?! Atobe owns the company I'm working at! You are definitely going to that school!" He said as he started the car again. "But why! It's not your decision, it's mine! What if I don't even want to go to that school?" Mizuka protested. "You are going to that school and that's final." She heard the finality tone in her father's voice and she didn't reply and looked out the window.

"Kuniharu, it's her decision, maybe we should let her decide." Her mother asked sweetly to her father after the car rode in silence for a while. "Fine." Her father sighed. "It's your choice Mizuka. If you go to Hyotei you can befriend my boss's son and-"

"DAD!" Mizuka said as she glared at him through the mirror. "Okay fine fine, I was just stating my opinion" He stated. "Well, your opinion isn't needed" Mizuka retorted. "WHAT!" Her father yelled as he slipped the steering wheel and the car skid. "HONEY!" Her mother screamed. "Okay okay, fine. It's your choice Mizuka" her father said defeated.

As they arrived home and got into the house, she noticed her brother still wasn't home yet. "Probably at tennis practice" She thought. She was on her bed when he got home with the back of her hand resting against her eyes. He came to her room and noticed the Hyotei pamphlets in the trash can. "It didn't go so well I'm assuming."

"I don't want to talk about it" She murmured back. "Atobe was your tour guide right?" Tezuka questioned. He looked at her as she sat up at the name. Tezuka glanced at her with concern. "Kunimitsu, Mizuka, dinner's ready." Their mother called from downstairs before Tezuka can ask her more questions. Saved by their mother, Mizuka jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. Sighing, Tezuka followed after her.

Tezuka entered the kitchen to his father and Mizuka arguing while his mother tried to calm them both down. "Think about what you can do for me!" his father yelled "You can get me a promotion and it would put us in a better place! You should be more obedient like your brother. Kunimitsu! Tell her the decision you would have made for me." He said as he glanced at Tezuka. "But you said in the car that it was my decision! I don't want to go to that crappy school just because you want me to!" She protested. Her father stood up half way from his chair with clenched fist but her mother rubbed his back as to calm him down. "Ayana" He looked at her as the anger died out of his eyes and sighed. Before he could talk, Mizuka stood up and ran upstairs. Tezuka sighed as he joined his mother and father at the table and began eating. "Kunimitsu, why don't you take her to Seigaku tomorrow? That'll cheer her up." his mom suggested as she looked sorrowfully at Mizuka's partly touched food. "Yeah, I will" He agreed.

Standing in the hot shower, Atobe let the hot water warm his body up until he felt refreshed. He walked out in his bathrobe to the food waiting for him by the table. He ate in silence as the butlers and maids watched him. He finished and got up to wash up, change, and go to bed as the waitors cleaned up and left his room. As he lay on his bed with opened eyes, he couldn't get the sounds that she made out of his mind. He couldn't control himself when she was near him and against him. He could still feel her in his arms and smell the scent of her hair as he dozed off to sleep.
