Chapter 20: Reunion

**Mateo**

I would spend a few hours getting to Los Angeles, catching a flight to Tokyo, and then driving to Kyoto. In other words, I would travel there and back. I would have 5 days left to spend with her.

I mean, I run the risk of getting there and she being with someone, but it would be good for me to get away from her. Because this time, it would have to be the last one. And then, each one would go on with their lives.

Liam and John planned a meeting of future alphas in Canada. John would pretend to be me, with my cousin covering for me. My father accepted that right away.

I arrived and went to Kyoto University, trying to say a few things through Google Translate and with Liam helping me on his cell phone. There I would meet the Classics Literature student, Natsuke.

I didn't even know her last name, luckily there were only two in the first year of the course. A student said she knew the students. When I gave her a description of Nat, she showed me her WhatsApp on her cell phone, a photo of Nat. I confirmed it. She gave me her number.

I called her, and she answered with a Japanese voice.

" Hai, Moshi Moshi, Natsuke Sato."

" Oh, honey, I didn't understand anything you said, except your name, but I want to see you."

"Mateo? Where are you?"

"Here at the Campus Office of your university."

" I can't believe it."

"Well, where can I find you?"

"Wait, there on the stairs outside."

"I saw her arriving on her bike. She parked it. And I ran down the stairs."

I hugged her and spun her around and kissed her so longingly that I left her breathless.

"Let's get out of here, please, Mat." — I'm embarrassed by people.

" Why?" — I laughed.

" We're not that open, we don't do these things in public, Mat."

"What do you want to do with me?"

She blushed. I could only laugh. She was beautiful. She looked like a doll."

" Where were you?"

"Going to work."

"Where do you work now?"

" In a bookstore downtown."

" Come on, I'll drop you off and I'll find a hotel for myself."

She smiled.

" How long are you staying this time?"

" Five days and you'll stay with me."

" Mat…"

" I practically ran away from my obligations to come here. My parents think I'm in Canada. So, yes, I want to stay with you as long as you can. She told me where I could stay and I was going to pick her up at 5 pm at the bookstore."
