I could hear Mimie yelling at me . I groaned but did not attempt to move in the bed . I kept the covers on me and ignored her completely .
"Get up! Papa told us to bring you if we plan to wander around! We're going to Tokyo to meet Mama's friend . You better get dress now, Cassie! Mama doesn't want to be late for her meeting!"
My eardrums going to explode from Mimie's shrill voice . "I had a headache . I will just stay here in the hotel . " I reason .
I waited for Mimie if how she would react, but she stays quiet for a long moment . I know she's even happier if I won't go .
"Humph, whatever," she mumbles .
What I heard next is a door slamming closed, and later on, the door opens again .
"Cassie, does your head bothering you again?"
Uncle Martin asked me . I felt bad how I keep lying to him and making alibi, so then, they could leave me alone .
"I'm sorry, Uncle Martin . "
"All right . Get more rest and take your medicine after the meal . I already ordered you some breakfast . I will be in a meeting all day, and Lydia has an important appointment in Tokyo . Call me if you needed anything or ask the front desk . I already ask for their help when you feel worse later . "
"Okay, Uncle Martin . Don't worry too much about me . I am fine alone . " He looks not convinced, so I smiled to make him believe .
"Maybe I will ask Mimie to accompany you?" he suggested afterward .
"Oh, no . That is unnecessary, Uncle . " That would ruin my plans! I was bewildered thinking Mimie will watch me . I have to act convincingly .
"I don't want to leave you alone here . But let me know if you feel anything . "
"Yes, Uncle Martin," I replied to him .
I sighed . But finally, Uncle Martin left me alone . Now my problem is the hotel staff . How could I sneak out? Better to disguise? I guess, I have to and it excites me! If I was never switching bodies with her, I would never learn to lie like this and never learn how to work hard just to see my boyfriend . Ah, I can't stop myself from giggling . Still like back in my present life .

"Quinn!" we hugged and kissed .
He is waiting at the entrance of the Subway . He looked too handsome today, he exactly looks like the Quinn I know . There are no traces of tension, and he doesn't look haggard either . Today, I am seeing a different Shun from the usual him I cross path back in Paris who seems like carrying all the problems in the world .
And to cope his days since Cassie died, he's killing himself through work to forget her . Those black lines on his forehead and bitter smile are gone but brighten them up . Although I know it was because of my Quinn inside him, I also like the 'Shun' I am seeing right now .
"Is there something wrong?"
He asked me when I seem to forget to blink while peering at him . I shook my head and tighten my hold around his waist .
"You shaved," I commented at his cleaner face .
He chuckled . "Yeah . I noticed how he let the hair grew, and it bothers me while kissing you . "
It made me laughed hearing this from his mouth . I then blushed but tempted to kiss him .
"I am so happy today, Quinn," I uttered .
"So do I . . . " he kissed the tip of my nose . "Let's go?"
"Yep!" I nodded excitedly .
Hand in hand, we took the stairs down to the subway station to take a bullet train toward Kyoto Prefecture . Seated side by side, I rested my head on his right shoulder . I felt when Quinn kissed my hair . I looked up and met his gorgeous blue eyes peering at me lovingly . If only we were in Paris, I won't mind kissing him even though in public places, or on a bus, as well in a packed up train like this one we're riding .
But back in Paris, people do not care, which here now, a lot of the commuters secretly glancing at us .
"I love you . "
Quinn whispered . Teary-eyed, I choke up . Speechless, I just lost the words instead . I let his sexy voice echoed inside my heart, keep it within me to remember when Quinn went back to his original body .
Our hands clasp tightly . Even Quinn won't say it, but I could sense he doesn't want us to separate from each other . I don't want to this happen either . I prayed for the time to stop, and never move but Quinn and I stay holding like this .
We're arriving at the Kyoto Station when I heard a group of teenagers talking about us .
"You do understand what they were talking about, isn't it?" Quinn asked me .
"Yes . They are curious how old I am as you look way older than me . " I replied to him, titter .
"Silly girl, are you made fun of me?"
My giggles turn into a laugh . I was amused staring at Quinn pouting . So I tease him further .
"It is true, anyway . I just turned fifteen and Shun is twenty-seven years old . Which, you are thirty back in our real life and I will be eighteen soon . "
"So, I cannot complain if people would call me a pedophile?" He sighed .
"But they don't know our story and their opinion does not matter at all . This is between you and me, no one else . " I told Quinn to comfort him .
"It consists of only two people to create the world no one knows, but us . . . and this is our world . "
I nodded at Quinn as to agree in his insights .
"You did mature now . I had a feeling that you understand more than I am about the situation we have now . "
I smiled at him . Maybe Quinn is right . Since I have been trapped in this life, it taught me a lot of realization about the things I did, and things I haven't done toward the people dear to me .
I badly wanted to go back in my real life with Quinn, and cherish every moment that I had to be with Mama and Papa . They often away because of the nature of their work . But being the Cassie in this life, who lost her parents, these open my eyes .
I am too lucky they are alive in my present life . They may be away because of their profession, I have all the life that I want to be, back then .
Cassie and Shun suffer a lot in this life . I had this guilt that I did not attempt to tell him she's alive; so that his sufferings ended . Also, I cannot reveal to Cassie that there is someone who loves her dearly, and she's never alone all these years, but they often cross paths and been together all the time .
They were so close to each other, but there was this mysterious wall between them and that is me .
"What you were thinking?"
Quinn tucked in the strands of hair behind my ear . He notices I keep a long moment of silence . We were now outside of Kyoto Station and began walking toward our first destination, the Higashi Honganji Temple . I looked up at him .
"Do you think this is the right time Shun should know that Cassie is alive?"
"Are you thinking to leave some clues to him?"
I nodded . Quinn holds my chin, and a sweet kiss planted on my lips . "Then let me handle it . "
"Quinn!" Tears escaped from my eyes . I did not anticipate this but maybe this is the best thing to do for ourselves . We just wanted to be happy and love each other . If we hold the truth, then let us reveal the truth to ourselves in this life .
"Let me talk to myself . " He swore .
Handsomely, sweet smile tore his tempting lips . So I got a taste of them ignoring this public display in the middle of the street in Kyoto central .
I am uncertain what is Quinn's plans to reveal to Shun that Cassie is alive . But whatever it is, Quinn knew what he needs to do .
"I love you so much, Quinn!" I expressed after I parted my lips from him .
I don't know, but I am truly happy . Maybe I was excited for Shun and Cassie to meet soon .
