Unheard Wishes: A Tale of Desires

Hoshino Ai POV

I can't recall a time when I had such a comfortable sleep.

I was comfortable when I slept with my kids but that was a different type of comfort than the one I was feeling now.

It was hard to explain, like with my kids I felt contentment and happiness, but right now I feel warmth and some sort of weird feeling.

I didn't know what it was but for the first time in my life, it made me not want to open my eyes.

'Is it the bed?' It was very soft now that I think about it, but I really wasn't able to check that out due to what happened last night.

Last night

….Last night?

I snapped my eyes open and I saw a broad chest riddled with scars in front of me, this was the same chest that I looked at from below last night so I remember it clearly.

'He really is different,' Was all I could think as my face brushed against this warm chest.

I was really close to him right now, No it would be better to say that he was holding me really close to himself.

My head was on his left bicep using it as a pillow, while his left arm was on my back with the right one hugging me and the right palm placed on my head.

He was holding me so tightly.

'Even if I say tightly, it has a very gentle feeling,' I had a hard time describing it because I never really had the chance to feel this before.

The guy I had sex with before left right after he finished, so I can leave the thought of him staying and cuddling with me aside.

Even the whole thing before this….

'Why?' I looked up and saw his sleeping face.

'This was just supposed to be a contract in which we both completed our end of the deal, So…'

"…Why?" I could only lean forward and mutter as my forehead touched his chest.

"Hmm? Oh, I am sorry I shouldn't have done this," I heard him say as he moved back after removing his hands, it looked like he was awake.

"No, It's all fine," In the end, I still lied with the same smile.

After a few minutes,

I walked out of the bedroom after wearing my clothes and saw him sitting on the sofa wearing a different suit from before.

"You want something to eat before you go?" He asked and I didn't even need to think.

"Ice cream with raisins,"

So, after eating a hefty serving of the best raisin ice cream I've had, I asked him a question.

"Was it really ok?" I asked this since I happen to pass out last night.

It was embarrassing and if possible I didn't want to bring it up, but this matter was important since…

"Yeah no problem," He smiled but…

"Is it really ok?" I couldn't help but ask, this contract meant a lot to me so I didn't want something to go wrong.

"Yeah, it was never specified that you would need to do it a number of times, and I did something uncalled for as well,"

"No, it's nothing," I really thought it wasn't a big deal after what we've done before that.

"I see, so want more ice cream?" He just smiled while asking and of course with everything going on…

"Yes please!" There was no way I was going to say no to that.

And soon it was time for me to leave.

'So, I just need to leave through the front door and I should arrive back at the designated time,' He explained it to me very easily so I don't have trouble understanding anything, and…

"Here, this is a card for this shop, if you are satisfied with the services, do visit us again if you are in need, the door is always open," He said and explained to me about how the card would work like he was doing business.

I didn't know why he changed his way of talking all of a sudden but if anything I was really grateful for it.

I can activate this card remotely even if it isn't on me and it would summon the door just like before while stopping time.

'It is the best thing to use if I am near certain death or if something happens to the kids,' I held the card tightly and looked at him.

"Then I'll get going, Don't miss me too much~ Bye Bye~!" I said my goodbye in an exaggerated manner with a wink and flying kiss, for some reason I put on my idol mask just before walking out as he waved back silently.

And as soon as I closed the door behind me I was floating, at least that is what it felt like, but another thing was….

'So pretty,' I could see this beautiful view of rivers of stars with night as the background, the stars shimmered like jewels and I didn't even want to blink because that would mean I would lose a fraction of this view.

But even though I tried my eyes blinked and when they opened….

"Mama!! Happy Birthday!!" I saw Ruby running at me.

'Was that real?' That was my thought, it has been from the time the door appeared. I wondered if maybe it was just me dreaming. Is it possible?

I was back in the living room of my house

"Mama?" I looked down and I could see Ruby looking confused since I didn't answer her.

"Ah, yes Thank you so much Ruby!!" I picked her up with a smile and kissed her face.

"Ehehe~!" My right hand went into the pocket of my dress as Ruby giggled and my palm touched something I knew.

"Ruby go and play with Aqua while I make something to eat, Okay?" I placed Ruby down and went into the kitchen.

The first thing I did was take out the card and look at it.

A black card with golden edges, and in the center was a name.

Wish Shop, with 'We'll help you with anything for a price'

'Looking at it like this, it looks like a total scam,' Even I was able to understand that much. But...

'It was real, all of that was real,' I thought as a mix of relief and embarrassment came over me.

"I have to make a call," It was now I remembered the plan he told me about so I picked up my phone from the living room.

RI- CLICK~

"Hello Ai, what happened?" He picked up the phone before the first ring even got through.

"President Aidou, I need to tell you something," It was the president of the company I worked with.

"It's Saitou you shitty Idol," And he got mad at me as usual for getting his name wrong.

"Sorry, it is just that something urgent came up," I needed to take care of this matter quickly.

"What? Don't tell me you got pregnant again?!" I took the phone off my ear as he shouted and I could still hear him.

"As if~," I laughed since thanks to a certain someone there was no chance of that happening, but it reminded me of what we did and somehow my core throbbed.

"That tone, You're scaring me here Ai," I can hear his voice tremble but now wasn't the time for this.

"I think there is a stalker around the apartment building, I sa-" I was about to give the excuse he told me but…

"I am coming over in 5 minutes, no make that 3, Do not go out and don't you dare open the door, may it be god or the devil, unless you get a call from me you are not opening that door, You got that?" The president didn't even let me speak and, "Hey What happened? You're driving too fast, the police we're gonna catch us!! Stop!! AHhhhh!"

I last thing I heard was his wife screaming as the call was cut.

"Hopefully they reach here safely," Because if something happens to them, who'll help me?

But thankfully they came in one piece, just that Miyako looked as pale as a ghost.

"We're moving out?" I asked in surprise but the President just looked fed up with me.

"Of course, Your safety is one thing but if someone snaps a picture of you and the kids, not only yours but my, MY life would be over as well, did you get that you shitty idol?"

"Yes, Yes, I understand~," I didn't need to do any convincing that I was told to do. It all went smoothly while I went to rehearse for my dome performance, the president made sure to get me a new house that was a little closer to his place.

When I asked why he did that.

"It is so that I can come over when you make trouble you shitty idol,"

'Did I make too much trouble for President?' I wasn't really a troublemaker in the slightest you know.
