Seven-Mile High Club Ch. 9 (final chapter)
As Michael had not planed for anything fancy on his vacation, he wore a nice shirt and a pair of black slacks, with a tie; that his Dad had given him. It went well with his shirt. He walked down to the main house and entered through the garden door. Several guests had already arrived, so he picked up a glass of champagne, and sat in a corner.
A few minutes later, Tomiko came downstairs. She was wearing a black cocktail dress; with a pair of black high heal shoes. She looked very beautiful and Michael felt kind of bad that he couldn’t tell everyone that they were in love. She walked around the front room talking to a few of the guests, but when she saw him in the corner, she went over and took his hand.
“Come with me Michael-san.”
She took him across the room and introduced him to some of the guests.
“This is my cousin, Michael-san. He is here on vacation from the United States. He is my escort for the evening.”
She then introduced him to two of her school girlfriends. The one named Tia, was younger than Tomiko and very cute. The conversation got around to a party the following Friday night. Tia asked Michael if he would like to go with her. Tomiko said,
“Sorry Tia, but Michael is taken. He has a steady girl, and is almost married. You are too late I’m afraid.”
Tomiko then directed him across the room away from her friends. Taking the champagne from his hand, she took a sip and said,
“You wouldn’t like her Michael. She is a “kagaseya girl”, and a slut. She has been with more men than any other girl in school.”
There were about fifty guests at the party, most of whom were employees and associates of Tomiko’s Father. The dinner was a buffet so everyone had to eat wherever they could find a spot.
Tomiko took Michael out to the garden and they ate together; sitting on a stonewall that surrounded the terrace. When they were done she asked,
“Do you still want me to come to California with you?”
“Yes, of course. Why is there a problem?”
“No I just want to make sure that you want it as much as I.”
“Absolutely, and if I weren’t afraid of being seen, I would grab you and kiss you right now. Is there something that you are not telling me? Are you having second thoughts?”
“No, but I don’t want to force myself on you Michael.”
“If you should change your mind and not want to go with me, I guess I’ll just …”
“What Michael?”
“… have to kidnap you.”
