and applied Different colours of brown eye shadow to my eyes carefully patting the colours together so it mixed and then I applied liquid black eyeliner above my eyelashes then I applied pencil eye-liner to the bottom of my eyes, perfect, and for my lips all I put was Vaseline. I put eyeliner on to make my eyes look big and more obvious. Then carefully I applied the littlest amount of mascara. Finish with the make- up and now the dress…. Ding dong. He’s here already? I ran down the stairs to open the door.
“Your Early.” I said opening the door wider. He was wearing a black tux and he had his mask too. Wow he looks good in a tux.
“yeah and you still aren’t ready?”he asked stepping into the house onto the doormat “ I thought you’d be ready by now and sit in the living room waiting for your prince charming.”
“course not, plus you’re early.” I said closing the door behind us wait a sec. “come on up I need help.” Slowly we walked to my room. “just wait out here for now.” I closed the door in him and slipped on the dress. I only managed to do the zip half-Way up my back. Great I knew it. I opened the door.
“your help is needed prince charming.” I said turning my back to him “help me please, I can’t do up the back”
“sure thing.” He said and zipped it up. “you’re beautiful.” He said as I turned around. Carefully I slipped on the shining high heeled brown ankle-boots from a long time ago. Perfect.
“let’s go” he said and lead me down the stairs.
“are you just being a gentlemen tonight because you’re wearing tux?” I said as I went through the car door Thomas was holding open for me.
“no, l’ve always been a gentlemen you just hadn’t noticed.” He said getting into the driver’s seat.
“you have a car?” I asked “ where do you park it ?”
“ I own this car and I park it at a garage my friend’s other friend opens.” He said
He started the car and went. After we drove for about 10 minutes, I started talking to him.
“so what party Is it?” I asked
“it’s a Japanese winter solstice it starts from the 19th of December till the 5th of January.”
He stopped on the opposite of a grand park called Sakura Garden.
“What does Sakura mean?” I asked as we got out the car.
“Sakura means Cherry blossoms, we only get them In Japan when it’s spring.”
“so I’m guessing it’s called Sakura garden because the cherry blossom trees grow here?”
“yes which is why we also celebrate our spring solstice because the cherry blossoms welcome the spring, it grows here and when it does it tells us that spring is coming, and then by the time it’s middle spring the trees die and then they grow again next year.”
Slowly he crossed the road with me placing my hand in his. We walked into the park where there was a large tent, inside was not paved with grass, it had been paved with a smooth white marble. There was a big white tent set up with 2 tables put into an L-shape to fit under the tent. On top was food and pastries of all kinds, there was fruit punches and juice plates were ladled with snacks. It was truly magnificent. There was swift music playing and everybody joined the dance floor. They gently swayed to the music and danced peacefully with their partners. There was older Japanese couples around 55-60 they were wearing kimonos, well the woman was. The woman looked happy and comfortable wearing it. It had a white back ground with branches that looked similar to the branches on the cherry blossom trees surrounding us. The branches wounded their way round and up her leg, and they too had blossoms on them. I eyed her curiously. Then Thomas eyed me and then looked to the direction of the woman.
“oh” was all he said
“oh…what?” I asked him turning my attention back at him.
“ you are interested about the kimonos , I would like to see you in one of them.” He said carelessly.
“really? I can’t even imagine myself wearing one of them. And the wooden heel sandals? No way.” I said.
He gave a low chuckle in return and pulled me to the middle of the dance floor breaking us into a slow waltz, it was as if we could have been walking the steps at this pace.
“you know I have never danced before. I left before my prom to come here. But I don’t need to experience or try dancing to know I’m very bad at it.” I said looking up to meet his eyes.
“shh, close your eyes and let me guide you. and I’ll try to make sure you don’t trip over my foot.” He said
“try?” I asked letting my eyelids cover my eyes and making the light and surrounding I could see disappear, plunging me into eternal darkness. Slowly I leaned into him placing my forehead against his shoulder. He put his hand at the middle of my back and placed the other hand around mine. Uncertainly I followed my instinct and moved to the music. To my luck I didn’t trip and when it finally ended I opened my eyes. The light was too much for my eyes I stumbled backwards, but warm strong hands caught me. it was Thomas as I always knew he’d be there.
“hey I’m gonna go get us some drink, ok?” he asked
“sure anything for me.” I said walking away from the middle of the dance floor as the music had ended. Just then I decided to take of my mask, a surprise was in for me.
Cat and Sam, George and his partner and Toby emerged and spotted me in an instant. Yikes! I tried to duck into the toilet, but it made me stand out pretty much.
“Hey what are you doing here?” Cat asked
“yeah what are you doing here, I thought you said that you had to look after your little brother.” Toby asked. I smiled painfully- not that I’m in pain or I hurt anywhere but- you get it. Come on you can lie, it’s just one teensy weensy lie. Okay.
“yeah, well my parents thought that it’s our first time in Japan and our first Japanese festival since we moved in so, we came together.” I said as normal as I could manage. “do you have a partner with you?”
“No I couldn’t find anybody, plus, I’m going with the gang so it didn’t matter to find a partner.” He said looking down at the floor.
“excuse me I’m gonna go join my parents.”I said walking towards the drink table across the tent. Thank god it’s on the other side of the room. Where is he? Quickly I spotted him leaning against the far wall drinking water.
“finally I found you.” I said leaning against the wall as well.
“What did you say to your friends?” he asked sipping his water.
“er, let me think. I told them I chose to go to the party with somebody I have only met for what a week over going with them, and worse lying to them?” I asked “ can we go I can’t carry on dancing with you in this party when somebody I had lied to is in this very same room. It makes me uneasy.” Keeping my head down I looked at my friends across the room.
“ we can go I know just the place.” He said pulling me through the whirling crowd that was now dancing to some jazz music in the dimmed lights, thank god they did that.
We d rove back to my house and guess what this was no surprise really it isn’t. We went to his so called home again.
“Aren’t you bored being by yourself all the time? Do you go to school at all?” I asked as I had to walk through the woods in my converses. We stopped by my house so I could change into more comfortable clothes you know so I can be more comfortable.
“no, because most of the time I’m spying you. When I’m bored I draw” he replied looking at me form the corner of his eyes. We walked silently for the rest of the way. What the guy was spying on me?
“How exactly do you spy on me? What do you see when your spying on me?” I asked, picking the words carefully.
“ Well I use my Binoculars. And well I see a lot of things, could you be more specific?” he asked a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
“Do you see me… I don’t know do you see me when I sleep? …….. okay this is gonna sound awkward but do you spy on me when I change?” I asked refusing to look at him.
He stopped in his tracks and turned towards me. “ why, do you want me to I don’t mind.” He said smiling cheekily now and started walking again. I froze for a bit.
“no, I don’t want you to, and I’m sure of hell you wouldn’t mind.” I said laughing.
Chapter Ten:Keys to secrets

Chapter 10: Keys to secret
“Okay I’ve known you for how long, a week? You haven’t told me any secrets.” I said biting my straw form my iced coffee cup.
“well, would you like me to clarify to you what secrets you know about me? Okay you’re right none. Figure me out.”
“Are you telling me to check you out?” I asked him straw still in my mouth.
“Nope, think about the things I talked to you about or showed you.”
I closed my eyes and thought the tree house. I opened my eyes, finding myself staring into dark welcoming brown eyes. Shit.
“Why are you staring at my face. Is something wrong?” I asked.
“no, I’m just observing your face when your eyes are closed.”
“don’t you observe it enough when you spy on me when I’m sleeping? Hey I know what secret you showed me now” I said
“what?” he asked. I waved around him .”oh yeah the tree house I showed you that didn’t i.”
“Yes sure did.” He waved a key at me. The Key was silver it had swirls on it and little leaves at the top it was tied with a white ribbon into a bow.. “why are you waving a damn key at me? Are you giving me your house key?”
“Hell no, but there’s a spare one under the loose floorboard on one of the step ladders, I think it’s the 4th one.”
“was
