A Different World

Ophelia and Reizo

Ophelia finally arrived in Japan. She finished with immigration and customs, and was waiting for the next  train to take her to Kyoto. She was here for 1 month to visit her best friend, Maria, who was ecstatic about her coming. Ophelia stood with her suitcases on the train platform, looking around. A lot of people were looking at her, but she didn't mind anymore. She decided her beauty was a gift. 

Ophelia’s long, thick hair was up in a messy bun. She had a minimal amount of makeup on as she never needed much. If you were to ask her what she loved about herself the most she would probably say her integrity.  You see, she's very modest and shies away from talking about herself. However, other people would say her smile. She was quite attractive, but her smile made her stunning. Men fell in love with her because of that smile. It lit up a room and people never forgot it.

Finally, the train arrived at the platform. Ophelia got on the train, put her suitcases in the overhead compartment, and sat down at a window seat. She hoped that whoever sat next to her wouldn’t be too annoying.  She laid her head against the window and began gazing outside. It was such a nice day. Soon enough, Ophelia heard someone sitting next to her. She ignored them and continued looking outside. In a few minutes, she drifted off to sleep. 

Ophelia awoke with a start. How long had she been asleep? She looked at her watch. She’s been asleep for only 45 minutes. That means she should be arriving in Kyoto in a little more than an hour. She felt someone brush her leg with theirs and turned towards the person sitting next to her. She did a double take when she saw who was sitting next to her. 

"Holy s**t! Reizo, is that you?!" Ophelia was shocked. She was sitting next to an old friend this whole time and hadn't realized! She noticed that Reizo had some grey blended in with his dark hair. It gave him a silver fox kind of look. Ophelia wondered how he got all that grey hair in just a few years. It was really quite thick and luxurious still. She liked it better this way, actually. He also grew out a gruffy beard, so she could see why she didn't recognize him right away.

"Good morning," Reizo smiled. It wasn't morning, but he always said that whenever someone just woke up. 

Ophelia  laughed, "Reizo, you should've woken me up!"  

Reizo started laughing. "Ophelia, I was waiting for you to wake up. I was curious if you would recognize me.”

"It took me a half second, but I recognize you. You should've woken me up!" Ophelia was worried she was being a bit loud on the train, but she was so excited. In Japan, the trains have an almost eerie silence, it's polite to stay quiet. But Reizo didn't seem to mind. In fact, he looked like he'd just seen a miracle. His calm demeanor on the outside was nothing like the electric shock his heart got on the inside. Reizo forgot just how beautiful Ophelia is. 

"Really, Ophelia, don’t poke a bear when he’s sleeping. That’s a saying in English, right?”

“Not that I know of, but I get the gist. And ok,  I’ll admit it, I get pretty cranky when I’m woken up.” Ophelia giggled. Reizo and his creative sayings... He was so cute.

Ophelia remembered how they suddenly lost contact before she left the country. They hung out every weekend, but he seemed to drop off the face of the earth. Damn, he grew a lot. He was much more muscular than she remembered. She looked at his arms and raised her eyebrow. They had gotten so big. She looked up at his face and smiled. Even though he changed, she was glad to see him, muscles and all. 

 When Ophelia smiled, Reizo got a gooey look on his face. He loved her smile. He would be lying if he said he didn't fantasize about her for months after she left Japan. He regretted not going after her, but he was shy and busy with his own trials and tribulations. He looked down at her chest. f**k, she noticed. He didn't mean to look there, but it was pretty hard not to. She had the best pair of t**s he had ever seen. And damn, he was getting aroused just by looking at her. 

There was an awkward silence for a while. Neither of these adults knew what to say to each other. Their friendship had abruptly stopped and they both felt guilty for not reaching out to each other..

"Hey...” Reizo was trying to find the right words to ask Ophelia to dinner. “When we get to Kyoto, you want to get some dinner with me? We can drop our suitcases off in a locker at the station, then go eat dinner.”Reizo was nervous. He wasn't the small shy guy he was before, so why did he have to act like it around her? 

"Sure, lets go get something to eat. But actually, I booked a hotel for tonight. It’s right inside Kyoto station. Let’s drop our stuff off there. Then we don't have to pay for the lockers.” Ophelia accepted his invitation. He was a tall and handsome man, but most importantly, he was sweet. Even though his new look was shocking, she missed his spirit and kindness. He was still the same old Reizo. She noticed when she mentioned her hotel, Reizo got a bit tense. Ophelia had no idea the word "hotel" gave Reizo intense fantasies about him and Ophelia doing unspeakable things in her room. At that moment, Reizo realized.... He still loved her. 

“You’re not going to Maria’s place tonight?” asked Reizo.

“No, she has a guy over tonight, I’d rather stay away from that.”

“Ahh, I see.”

Ophelia touched Reizo’s hand and smiled a huge grin. She was glad they ran into each other. There they stayed, holding hands, as naturally as the oldest of friends.

A few hours later, Reizo and Ophelia  found a good restaurant. While they waited for their early dinner, they had some catching up to do.

 "So what have you been doing recently?" asked Ophelia, as she brushed the hair from her eyes. 

"Well, I was doing some translations for a company. As it turns out, I am pretty good at English and got offered to work with an international company. I get to travel and meet new people, it's very fun." Reizo was hesitant to tell Ophelia the whole truth. If he actually told her the truth, she would think he was crazy.

"That's great. Sounds like you’re doing well. Hmmm, your hair is different. Also, you got kind of big. Working out much?"

"Well, Ophelia, not everyone can be a dark haired beauty like you. I went through a few...stressful times. I had no idea I would get so grey. And yes, I do work out. You kind of have to with my line of work."

"I thought you did translations," said Ophelia, a bit confused.

"Oh, well, yeah, that, too. But I am flying all the time, getting jetlagged. It is easier to just work out and stay fit with all that stress going on in my body." Reizo fumbled. He wanted to be honest her. Should she ever find out the truth of what he did, she could be in danger. Not only that, but she might be scarred for life. Reizo got angry at himself. He was thinking about a future with Ophelia in it. He had already  fallen for her again. He should stop seeing her after this dinner. It would be better that way. 

"I see," said Ophelia. She felt he wasn't really telling her the whole truth, but she shrugged it off. If he isn't  telling her the whole truth, he must have a reason. 

They talked for a while longer. Even with all the talking they did, neither one mentioned their falling out. Reizo, especially, was quite hesitant to talk about work and what he has been doing for all these years. 

After dinner, the two companions started walking back to Ophelia’s hotel. Reizo needed to pick up his bags and Ophelia had mentioned to Reizo how tired she was, so he assumed she was ready for bed. 

"So you are going to be staying with Maria this whole time?" Reizo asked. 

"Yeah, I hope she doesn't get tired of me," Ophelia laughed. Ophelia was excited to see her best friend. She was a fiery and outspoken woman. Maybe a little too outspoken to live here in Japan.

"Well, please tell her I said hello.”

“I will, and before I leave again, let’s get together, ok? I won’t leave without saying goodbye.”  Once again, Ophelia felt a wave of happiness and was so grateful that she ran into him. She was planning on trying to contact him anyway. It seemed the universe did her a favor by sitting him next to her on the train. Still, as she looked at his  face, there was something different. Not just physically, but something inside his soul. She saw a darkness in his eyes. An edginess that wasn't there before. While they were eating dinner, his eyes kept scanning everyone, as if it was a habit of his. He also seemed very protective of her. If a man accidently bumped into her, he would give them a dirty look and put his hand on her back as if he wanted to lead her away from them. Among all these things,  he also seemed much more confident and sure of himself. She wondered what happened these past few years.

Ophelia reached up to give him a hug goodbye. "See you later, ok?" When Ophelia pulled away, Reizo hugged her tighter. He was filled with this overwhelming need to kiss her, to touch her. He couldn't let her go. There they stood, outside the hotel with the moonlight shining down, content to be in each other's arms. But sometime during this hug, the embrace stopped being so friendly. Neither could explain why, but they suddenly held each other tighter. Reizo wrapped his arms around her waist and Ophelia pulled her arms around his neck, bringing his face closer to hers. Their body heat became hotter and they could her each other's breath. Reizo's breath quickened as he felt Ophelia's breasts pressing up against him. 

"Ophelia," Reizo whispered in her ear. Her hair tickled his face and she didn't pull away from him. Suddenly, everyone else faded away and it was just them. They didn't care about anyone else around. If anyone saw them, it didn't matter. Ophelia let him hug her even tighter. Soon enough, Reizo got aroused. He didn't want this to happen, so he pulled away. He had to control himself. If she felt how hard he was, what would she do?

"Sorry," said Reizo. "I didn't meant to step over the line."

"You didn't step over any lines," said Ophelia, shaking her head. She did not expect herself to ask him this, but she found herself inviting him up to her hotel room. " Come up to my room for a while?" Ophelia smiled. She realized at that moment how much she always wanted Reizo. When they were friends, Ophelia had a boyfriend, so she suppressed her feelings for Reizo. Now, seeing him, she  realized she wanted him bad.

"Ok." Reizo wanted to go up to her hotel room, but where would this lead them? Would she be put in danger? 

"You don't have to..."

"No, Ophelia, I WANT to." Reizo cupped her face with his hands. He tried being gentle, even though he was burning inside. 

Soon, they began walking  to the hotel lobby and toward the elevators. Once they stepped onto the elevators, an intense heat started up again between the two. Maybe it was being in a small enclosed space with no one else.

Reizo couldn't take it anymore and pushed Ophelia up against the wall of the elevator. He kissed her deeply and massaged her breasts. Ophelia gasped. Reizo thought perhaps he was too rough, so when he pulled his hand back, Ophelia stopped him.

"No...don't stop," moaned Ophelia. She brought his hands back to her breasts, her n*****s now standing at attention. She put Reizo's hand beneath her white blouse and guided his finger to pinch her n*****s. 

"f**k, Ophelia." Reizo hissed.

Ophelia began grinding her hips against his and Reizo stopped her. He'd have no choice but to take her in this elevator if she didn't stop.

"Ophelia, I want you so bad," whispered Reizo. He grabbed both of her breasts and she pulled down her blouses to give him easier access. Takeshi stared at her breasts. They were beautiful.  He started kissing them and sucking on them until they heard the elevator come to a stop.

 Thankfully, the hotel was quiet and nobody witnessed them in the throws of passion. The elevator doors opened and Ophelia began fixing her clothes and Reizo stared at her.

" Let's go," Ophelia said breathlessly.

"Ophelia, I am going to pound you so hard you won't even remember your name." Reizo was done trying to be good. He wanted Ophelia and she needed to know he was going to give it to her hard.

Ophelia drew in a breath. Reizo saying that made her so horny she could barely keep from ripping his clothes off him.

 They began walking to her hotel room. This was about to be  a night they could never forget.
