Meeting Who? {JADE}

[malis~]

Naylia was sitting in the cafe Texing Justin. He was taking some time for finals the night before, and was taking time to sleep in.

'Hey Justin. How was the study war last night?' - Nay

[Akkii]

It took a while for the boy to reply. He had jumped in surprise at the sound of his phone ringing loudly. He moaned and rolled over to grab it off the desk. When he found out who it was, he cheered up a bit. He read it through a few times. He was still tired, and therefore had to register what he'd read.

'Fine, I guess... I'm really tired. So much for sleeping in.' -Justin

[malis~]

'You were sleeping. Go back to sleep I can manage the shop for awhile.' -Nay

[Akkii]

'Nahh,' Justin texted back. 'I'm already awake. And I won't be able to get back to sleep. I'll be over soon.' He sent the text then turned off his phone. He got dressed, then headed outside. He climbed into his old, slightly scratched up truck. He'd bought it a while ago, not wanting to spend too much money. Luckily, the engine was awesome and he could go pretty fast. He drove it to the cafe and smiled at Naylia as he entered. His eyes were a little puffy, but they usually were, with how he was usually up late. He walked over to Naylia and pecked her on the cheek lightly, smiling at his girlfriend.

((She can, like, ask him how late he stayed up last night and what subjects he studied. He'll tell her, then recall a phone call from his father. XD))

[malis~]

Naylia grinned. "So how long did you stay up last night mister? I can't tell from your eyes this morning. I'm guessing to was late though." She smiled and stroked his tattoo.

[Akkii]

Justin snorted. "You're way too concerned about me." He grinned at her, but answered her question. "I was up till, like, two in the morning. I was planning on going to bed around that time, but then..." He trailed off, and suddenly he looked horrified. "Oh, G*d!"

[malis~]

"Is something wrong?" She asked.

[Akkii]

Justin chewed on his lip. "I got a phone call last night when I was done with my studying. From... from Dad. He said he was... coming to 'check on me'." He groaned and held his head in his hands. He was still afraid of his dad. He couldn't help it.
"I-I should give you the day off..." he told Naylia. "You won't wanna meet Dad..."

[malis~]

Naylia shook her head. "Not even! I need to work today. A big cafe critic is coming today. So you can visit with your father in the back, and I can take care of the shop. I'll be fine. And you're an adult now. He has no right to hurt you anymore, remember?" She was looking at him now. "And I want to be here if you get hurt so I can stop it. I would feel helpless if I couldn't stop it Justin. You know that."

[Akkii]

"A cafe critic?! Why didn't I hear about his? Or... did I?" Justin groaned. He had a headache. Today was not going to be a very good day. "I hope we have a lot of customers today," he mumbled.

[malis~]

"Don't you see? This is a way for your Dad to be proud of you. Don't worry, we'll do fine today. Trust me." Naylia smiled. She walked away to go serve a couple who just walked in and seated them at a two person table. She left with their order and they started kissing over the table. Naylia smiled.

She went into the kitchen to make the coffee and get the oven ready for cookies. She left with the couples sushi and coffee. She set the food on the table and returned to the kitchen.

[Akkii]

Justin didn't argue with her, even though he felt she was wrong. He decided to busy himself with cooking. Few people were in here today. The couple and three or four other people. There was nobody he had to cook for, so he figured he might as well make something for him. "Naylia, are you hungry? I'm cooking breakfast for us."
Anything to keep his mind off his dad...

A man with black, but graying hair and slightly tanned skin entered the cafe. He looked around, and then found a table near the kitchen. He had a tatto on his arm. It was like a miniature version of the dragon on Justin's face and neck. He was wearing a t-shirt, and some jeans. He was fairly muscular. He remained at the table, waiting for either Justin or one of his employees to come out.

[malis~]

"Oh, sure. Anything's good." She peeked her head in the kitchen to smile at him. Naylia walked over to then muscular man. "Can I get you anything sir?" She said smiling politely.

[Akkii]

"Just coffee for now, miss," Kuro said in a polite tone, examining the menu. "By the way, might I speak with the manager?" He flashed a smile that might remind Naylia of Justin's own smile. This one seemed a little more forced though.

[malis~]

"Coffee right away, and of course." She smiled back nicely. She had the feeling that this man was Mr.Hokkaido. Just a feeling. It was the smile.

She walked into the kitchen to get the coffee ready. She put it in a bright red ceramic cup. "Um, Justin? There's a man who wants to see you outside." She said. "I think it's your Father."

[Akkii]

Justin grimaced. "Okay... make sure the omelettes don't burn, okay?" He said, nodding at the omelettes on the stove that he'd been cooking for himself and Naylia. He walked out, tensed and sat at the table where his father was. He looked at Kuro with a blank expression.
"Hello, Father," he said. "It's been a while."
"It has, hasn't it?" Kuro replied, as icily calm as his son.
"Mmhm..."
"Seems like you're barely getting by. Is the cafe always this empty?"
"N-"
"You must have horrible cooking skills," Kuro said cuttingly.
It wasn't so much what his father said as how he said it that hurt Justin.
"Father, usually we have a lot more business than this. Not to mention it's early in the morning," he snapped quietly.
So far, it wasn't going quite as bad as Justin had imagined it would be, so that was good...

((Bleh))

[malis~]

((XD))

Naylia made sure of the omlettes. She checked on them once before leaving the kitchen with the bright red mug. She walked over to Kuro and Justin were sitting. She sat the mug in front of the tense man. "Your coffee sir. Would you like some creamer?" She said smiling trying to losen up the conversation.

((Should Kuro hurt Justin? Or Naylia? Naylia would be fun. But it would have to be in the kitchen, I don't want to make a huge scene XD Even though i already am XD.))

[Akkii]

"No thank you," Kuro said smoothly.
"This was a wonderful conversation, Father," Justin said, standing up. "But I have work to do." He wanted to end this as soon as possible. He hoped Kuro wouldn't ignore the tone of finality in his voice. He subtly took Naylia's hand and started to walk away. He didn't really notice his dad had followed them both until they reached the kitchen.

"You're not supposed to come back here," Justin protested.
"I'm your father, Justin. I should be allowed to come back here."
"Father--"
"Enough," Kuro said in a controlling, slightly cold tone. Justin shut up.

((Yeah, he'll prolly hurt both of them. XD))

[malis~]

(( Fun XD Nay didn't even do anything XD ))

The omlettes on the stove were starting to burn. "Um, excuse me," She said and went to throw the omlettes away and the frying pan in the sink. She returned to her place and took Justin's hand again. "Um sir? You actually aren't supposed to be back here. You know, health issues." Naylia said stiffled a laugh.

[Akkii]

Kuro patted Naylia on the shoulder. "Of course, but I'm sure you can make an exception for me," he said, voice still a little hard.
Normally, Justin was not a violent person. But he was protective of Naylia, and he really didn't trust his dad. Even though Kuro hadn't hurt Naylia, Justin got between the two, shoving Kuro away. It wasn't hard. Just strong enough to make his father take a step back.
Next thing he knew, he was slammed out of the way. Great, he'd made his dad mad. He was gripped by the collar of his shirt and slammed back-first into the nearest wall. He groaned and held his head in his hands.
