Asking For Trouble

By: wolfiie-chan

The invitation arrived on Saturday, which was the right time to ruin my weekend.

Mr. & Mrs. Daidouji

Request the pleasure of company of

Sakura Kinomoto and Mark Walsh

At the wedding of their daughter

Tomoyo Daidouji

I didn't come as a shock to me because when you have an aunt like my Aunt Sonomi, it'll probably already be known through out the world, given to its advantage that she's an owner of an ever successful toy company.

Sonomi's daughter, Tomoyo, 25, was my long time best friend and cousin. With amethyst orbs and long luscious violet-ish hair, 5 foot 5 and obviously beautiful in all's aspects. Were inseparable except now because she's obviously trying to plan her wedding while I'm trying to focus on my job. I've taken fashion career which I run a company where I can design clothes and have stores world wide.

You see, Aunt Sonomi treats me like her daughter when my dad and mom both passed on leaving me to my brother. Touya Kinomoto married to the ever lovely Kaho Mizuki. Who by the way lives in London.

Sonomi brags about Tomoyo and I to her arch rival. Lucy Hu. They compete in everything.

Tomoyo is getting married to Hiiroku, whom I'm not too keen on but I learned to keep it to my self. He obnoxious and thinks he's God's Gift. Okay, he might be a Sex God but not a personality to match with.

I'd only met Hiiroku a couple of times before and since he'd fit right into a mail- order catalogue of Grade A men, it had been a relief to find that I actually didn't fancy him. About six-foot-one, he had the lithe build of tennis pro, with that medium olive skin that looks brilliant against white. He had dark brown eyes to match and hair the color of very old polished mahogany.

I don't know what Tomoyo sees in him but I guess I want her to be happy so I kept it to myself.

Everything was fine. Okay, only a teensy bit of problem. Well the thing is… about Mark Walsh. Well, I made him up. Not totally, well I met a guy named Mark Walsh in my flat mates' friends' party. He was absolutely god like!

Auntie called me the same evening. 'You will bring him, will you, dear? I've told absolutely everybody about him and you do want to keep your end up- Erika Hu is still seeing that Kiminoku- I had to invite him of course- he looks a bit chin less to me but that's all the more reason for you to indulge in a little bit of flaunting--'

'Auntie—'

'Yes, I know it sounds bitchy, dear, but Lucy's on and on about Oliver this and that- I really will murder that bitch one day- you'd think a corporate lawyer was a cross between God and Mel Hudson to hear her carry on—'

'Mel Gibson, auntie. Mel Gibson'

'You know what I mean. Please tell Mark that we'll love to see him. He can't be booked up six weeks in advance'

After another minute, I weakly said yes.

'She wants to keep my end up. Spear me a hollow laugh will you'

Carmy, my flat roommate who has striking navy blue eyes, shoulder length black luscious tresses and a body to match with. On 5 foot 6, 25 like Sakura and a boyfriend named Dominic. She was giving me a God your hopless look. 'God you're hopeless.

After all that white lie, you got to get everything in place now, Sakpoo, dear.'

I gave her my venomous glare 'Lay of will you? I'm already in trouble. Plus, I don't want to upset my auntie, she'll be devastated if she looses to that hag, Lucy. And stop using that fucked up nick name-- Sakpoo' I snorted. I know, un-ladylike.

She help up her hand for defense 'cool it, babe. Don't take it out on me here'

'Sorry Carms, just stressed.'

Truthfully, most people think I'm sort of a goddess. But, I'm not. I don't want to be. I want to be normal. As Carmy describes me; sexy goddess who has a man-teasing body with deadly emerald eyes and auburn hair to match. 5 foot 7 with smooth, skin of cream with lethal combinations. Deadly and Beautiful. Talk about corny-ness. She actually said that to a guy when she tried to play 'stupid cupid' with Tomoyo once.

'Help me Carmy'. I stood up to take the invitation from the kitchen table and sat back down the couch next to Carmy.

'Well Sakp—'I glared at her 'Sakura, dear. I think you should make an excuse to dump your "imaginary" boyfriend. I say you should tell them that you caught him with another man in your bed when you came home from work.'

I thought about it for a while but decided it will cause too much drama. 'Nah, I need something reasonable.'

As if on cue, Carmy's little brother, Chris, 23, same features, navy blue eyes, with spiked up black hair. He has a body that will cue him into the Grade A men, a gold earring in the left ear, he can be good looking underneath all the scruff. And fancy's me. Whoopee…not.

'You can just say he had STD and it prevents' a young beautiful lady from getting her needs fulfilled.' He suggested, sitting down beside me and draping an arm around my shoulder.

'Of course' he whispered huskily 'I can fulfill it for you me lady.'

'Ergh, Chris lay off me will ya. I'm not in the mood to kick your ass.'

'Christopher Chang! You shall NEVER touch my roommate! You get that? If you're bunking with us for a month you shall never touch what you can have or reach! You get that dumbass!' I looked at Carmy amusedly.

'Good speech Carms. Way to go!'

Chris suddenly let go and sat at the far end of the couch. 'Got it, bitch'

'Heard that' Carmy went off to take a shower. Chris took a magazine on the center table while I went to get vodka.

'I'd make him am perv if I were you' he announced 'Tell your auntie you went round one night and found him pouncing around in high heels and one of your bras, all upset because he couldn't find enough socks to stuff it with.'

'Too complicated' I muttered to him. To distract myself from the memory of the 'imaginary' Mark, I leafed through a magazine full of ads.

'Maybe I should out an ad like 'Deranged Lunatic, 25, needs passable escort for one day—"

'Sexy as hell, stunning and makes you horny' he interrupted. The little toad was not grinning his face off.

'Ha ha, very hilarious. NOT. 'I commented sarcastically 'I'll start again with NO interruption; Deranged Lunatic, 25, needs escort for one night, positively no sex. 50 yen.'

(A/n- they are living in JAPAN! Lmao, okaaay!)

'I'll do it for 50 yen.' The little toad was now grinning. Again. 'Only of course if you buy me a flash suit first.'

'Brilliant, you look exactly like my Auntie's idea of a 26 year old merchant banker.'

I mooched to the window. This corner of south west Japan could look quite passable for once there wasn't much as a crisp pocket dancing in the breeze.

'I'll have to say, I dumped him. Maybe he's turning horrendously jealous and possessive.'

'That'll never wash with your Aunt. She'll only think it shows how keep he is.'

True.

'The basic problem is Lucy Hu' I explained 'Auntie's bragged to her about Mark, so if I don't produce this hot favorite potential son in law'

Lucy Hu has been my auntie's 'friend' and neighbor nearly over 20 years. Neither could stand each other really but they pretend for the sake of form.

Chris has gone quiet I thought he was asleep until he jabbed a finger at the pages 'Bloody hell, I'm a genius. Look Sak.'

Half expecting a one way cheapie to Outer Mongolia. I humored him and cast a glance. And another one.

'Chris! That's an escorting agency!'

'Escorting agency?' I turned around and saw the fresh from the tub Carmy. She looked at the ad over Chris's shoulder. 'Are you mad!'

I looked at it once again with interest. 'Well, I could give it a try.' I looked over at Carms and Chris. I reached for the phone and it rang. I looked at the ad once again.

We know the feeling. The blurb said. We are Sally and Juli and we started Just For Tonight because we know exactly what it's like to be missing that one vital accessory for important occasions, If you've got the prefect dress, the perfect jewelry, the perfect shoes why the choose the perfect man to compliment them?

Just too easy for words.
