Last time on 'My name is Lee'

"Tell me," he urged.

"You mean a lot to me. It broke me that you left. I've grown to care about in a way I've never felt before"

Huey drew closer. Both teens were ignorant to the fact that they were drenched, Huey more than Mai.

"I know you have more to say," Huey said softly.

"I'm still new to this," Mai replied, "But I like you. I like you a lot. I want to get to know you more than I did before. I..."

Mai was cut off by Huey's lips on her own. She shut her eyes, kissing him back and wrapping her arms around his neck. When they parted for air, Huey had his hands on Mai's waist. He crushed her into his arms, loving the feel of her body against his own. Both had grins on their faces.

"This isn't an illusion, right?" Huey asked.

"I'm here. With you. I'm never leaving," Mai replied, pulling Huey closer to her by his collar and into a loving kiss.

Now. ...

At one-thirty in the morning, two teens –both drenched- crossed the empty lobby (save for the two security guards) of Chateau Hotel and entered the hotel elevator with a trail of water droplets behind them. The pale-skinned girl punched in the floor number, and the lift was on its way. The brown-skinned teen beside the girl noticed the slight shiver the girl failed to hide. He slipped his arm around her waist and drew her closer to him, with the intention of sharing his body heat with her.

"This is why I insisted on accompanying you home," the teen said, a smug look gracing his handsome features.

"I take offence to that. I would have been fine on my own," the girl pouts, but she snuggles into his embrace regardless. They remained in that position until the elevator stopped moving and the doors slid open. With the girl leading the way, the teens walked out of the elevator hand-in-hand towards the girl's room. She slipped out a key from her pocket and opened the door to her room. Flipping on the lights, the, girl turned to the dark-skinned male, saying in Japanese, "Coming, Huey?"

The teen nodded and entered the room, closing the door behind him. As the girl entered another room, Huey walked around the room. It had the basics of a hotel room of a high class calibre: beige carpeted floors, large windows hidden by a thick set of deep brown curtains, a mini fridge next to a table with two chairs, closet and a plasma TV nailed to the wall across a queen sized bed.

Huey was contemplating telling his grandfather that he wouldn't be home until later. But the more he thought about it, he realised it wouldn't matter since he left without anyone noticing. He felt a weight drop on his head and reached for it with his right hand. Feeling soft material, Huey pulled it down and held a white towel in his hands.

"You should dry yourself," Mai stated (at this point Huey had turned to face her), "Here's a bathrobe. You should change out of those wet clothes and wear it. I'll take a quick shower and then you should too. To avoid getting sick"
