One In A Million Stars

Chapter Eight - The Seduction

"You really care about your brother, aren't you?"

I mumble at myself after he disappears from my sight.

After a long sigh, I clear up my desk from mountains of document before leave my office.

"Nina, you can go home now. I'll leave first, okay?"

I tell Nina and she nods.

"See you tomorrow, Ms. Hoshiko."

I walk into the elevator and stop at Sanzu's room.

"Are you in there, Sanzu?"

I ask, knock his door few times but there's no reply.

"I'm going in."

I turn the door knob and walk into his room.

I cough few times when I pick up the smoke odors. I walk further into the room next to it and find Sanzu and 2 girls sleeping on his bed. There are empty bottles of liquor, cigarette butts and many other things lying around on the bedroom floor. I open up the balcony door and turn on the light.

"Ugh..."

He groans when the light is on.

"Do you have fun?"

I ask, standing at the side of his bed.

"What do you mean?"

He opens up one of his eye before closing it again.

The girls wake up and confusedly staring at me.

"Go back to Meiko now."

I tell them which they hurriedly pick up their clothes and leave.

Sanzu gets up and sit on his bed.

"What time is it?"

He asks.

"It's almost 7 pm. Should I told you the date too? It's Wednesday, April 29th."

"Is there any meeting or something?"

"No, there's none."

We stare at each other.

"Everyone is wondering what happened to you."

He pauses for a while before answering.

"But isn't this the usual me?"

I roll my eyes when he says that.

Well I guess he's not entirely wrong. Suddenly I feel stupid to barge into his room like this.

"Alright, I'll leave if there's nothing wrong with you."

I turn around and step away before he grabs my wrist and pulls me down.

"Not so fast, Hotaru chan."

He says in a seductive tone.

"What are you doing?"

"You chase the girls away."

"So what?"

I frown at him.

"You'll be staying then."

He kisses my ear, making me flinch.

"This is fun."

I try to get up from the bed but he's blocking by pressing his body close to mine.

"Stop it, Sanzu. You're drunk."

"Care to find out whether I'm sober or drunk?"

He starts kissing my neck and my collar bone.
