Chapter 12: Goodbye school

**Mateo**

Early in the morning, my alarm clock went off. I kissed her on the head.

"Good morning beautiful."

" Ohayōgozaimasu, watashinojinsei no saiai no hito."

"What did you say? "— I started tickling her.

"Stop! Please. I just said good morning, darling. — Actually, I said: good morning, love of my life, but he doesn't need to know that.

"Come on, let's go get some coffee so I can drop you off at school."

" I don't eat in the morning, I'd rather take a shower. Do you want to go get your coffee?"

"No, I think I'll take a shower with you!"

We laughed. We went to the shower. I wanted to look at that beautiful body of hers one more time. I knelt down to kiss her belly button. I dried her off and kissed her perfect feet. And I wanted to make love to her again, but she couldn't be late.

We rode our motorcycles to her school. I was supposed to pick her up at noon.

I went back to the hotel to have breakfast. John was looking for me. I felt him through the mental connection. “I’m at the restaurant, come have coffee with me.”

"Is anyone in a good mood?"

"Let’s just say the night was great."

"That explains why you disappeared and closed the mental connection."

"Yes."

" I need the coach’s help, is he awake yet?"

"Yes. He said he was going to swim before breakfast, he should be on his way."

"Great."

He soon showed up. After he had breakfast I asked him to help me. I needed to book a hotel for six months for a friend, with breakfast.

" Well, is she a student or does she already work abroad? Is she of legal age?"

"Yes, she’s going to start college in Kyoto, but until classes start, she’ll stay here. And maybe she’ll go to work too."

"Well, if she doesn’t go out much at night. There’s a boarding house for student girls, with breakfast and dinner included in the daily rate."

"Sounds good to me. Can you help me book it? I'll leave the next six months paid."

" Sure!"

He called and found out that there was a vacancy starting tomorrow. That would give me one more night with her, after we watched the game.

I called John to tell him, but I insisted that it be a secret. My father must never know about her existence.
