My Soul Will Find Yours : The Fulfillment of the Promise

What Hina Wants, Hina Gets

As soon as he finished talking, Kaname's eyes swept the entire room and waited for everyone's reaction. Surprisingly, they all looked away guiltily as though they did an unpardonable crime. The phrase once a shogun, always a shogun once again came into mind.

"We are all professionals here," Sabrina walked to Kaname's right with the aura of the lady boss that she actually is. "If any one of you show a single sign of disrespect to your colleagues, I won't hesitate to direct you to Human Resources to process your separation clearance."

If my husband's words made everyone guilty, hers elicited fear amongst her staff.

"You all know how I run things," she reminded meaningfully before taking the camera that was slung on her assistant's neck. "Shoot will resume in ten minutes."

As if their backsides were on fire, the whole team rushed to prepare everything. The makeup artist retouched Kaname's makeup while the stylist hastily arranged the clothes he will be wearing next in a nearby rack. Meanwhile, the two production assistants who were giving me the most disgusted looks earlier kept offering me some snacks and drinks. Despite knowing that they were just being fake, not to mention their actions earlier truly made me uncomfortable, I still politely declined their offers.

The video shoot progressed smoothly. As it was an ad campaign, it had very little script and focused more on non-verbal ways of communicating the message across. Since Brandon was no longer around, Kaname and I didn't push through with cancelling our contract with Sabrina. He was the only reason why my husband wanted to leave and since he was really not coming back, we saw no reason for leaving.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the third and final day of the first shoot. During these past three days I watched Kaname in complete amazement. Maybe the makeup artist was right, he was born with it. I mean, when we were still getting to know each other, he's proven how the camera (albeit a phone one) loved him. As he continued to impress not just me but his co-models and Sabrina as well, the more I thought that confining him in the gym was dulling his shine. This was his true calling.

It was already a quarter past six when Sabrina finally announced that it was a wrap and it was now the post-production team's turn to make everything even more perfect. Everyone congratulated each other for the job well done before heading to their own private rooms to change.

As a small celebration, Sabrina wanted to have dinner with the entire team but Kaname declined the offer.

"But why?" Karina whined. "I still need to talk to Hinata about her skin care regimen! Do you know how much I need to know her secrets?"

"Yeah, bro, what's the rush?" Joshua echoed. "You promised to teach me how to strengthen my core even more!"

"Maybe next time," Kaname told them with a smile. "Now if you'll excuse us, I'd like to spend the rest of the day with my wife."

"Wife-hog!" Karina accused Kaname as Joshua and Sabrina watched helplessly on the side.

I gave everyone a quick apologetic smile before Kaname practically dragged me out of the studio.

The air felt thick and sticky when we stepped outside, indicating that it was about to rain. I looked up and saw not a single star, it looked like rain indeed. A cold breeze blew and Kaname immediately wrapped an arm around me, knowing full well how sensitive I was to the cold.

He immediately ran a warm bath when we got into our hotel room. After helping me undress and change into the fluffy robe the hotel provided, he carried me to the bathroom.

"Where are you going?" I tightened my arms around his neck instinctively.

"I'll order us some food so when you're done, we can have dinner," he replied as he gently unhooked my arms.

"But..."

"What do you want to eat?" he asked.

"You," I said coquettishly. Wasn't this why he refused Sabrina's offer? Didn't he want us to have some alone time?

He chuckled and gave the tip of my nose a peck. "I was referring to food. You barely ate earlier."

"I want ojii-chan..." I bit his earlobe to further reinforce my claim. I was already in the mood. What the hell was he doing talking about food now!?

"Bad girl," he laughed his throaty laugh and I pounced on him. "Behave!"

I pouted when he jumped as far away as he could from me. I didn't even touch him, all my hands could catch was air.

"You're not really joining me?" I said as I slowly removed my bathrobe.

I saw his eyes linger on my body before he looked up.

"Do you want steak and pasta?" his voice sounded strained.

My lips curved into a triumphant smile. Slowly, I unclipped the hair clamp I was wearing. As my hair tumbled lusciously down my back and shoulders, I saw him gulp. Kaname's ultimate weakness is the sight of me naked with my hair loose.

"Uhh..." he struggled to think straight but he was practically drooling.

"Hina-chan wants ojii-chan," I said in my sexiest voice.

Kaname closed his eyes, breathed in and out deeply a couple of times, before slowly opening them again. The desire that once was there was now replaced by calm serenity.

"I'll order pasta, steak, and your favorite chicken kani salad," he patted my head like I was some school girl before leaving me alone and disappointed in the bathroom.

I was so engrossed in watching the second bath bomb fizz and turn the water into purple when Kaname suddenly popped back in.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you," he apologized.

I shook my head and purred, "Changed your mind?"

"Mahal, just please take a bath. Food will be here in ten minutes," he begged.

"Nope," I took my discarded robe on the floor and put it on again. Time to switch tactics. "I think I want to eat first before taking a bath."

After sighing in defeat, Kaname said, "Fine."

I didn't say anything and just followed him out of the room. A devilish grin formed on my lips as I hatched a plan secretly.

"Oh, anata, don't you know? What Hina wants, Hina gets," I whispered.

"You said something?"

"Nothing. So, what pasta did you order?"
