Reika was not at all what I anticipated. She was tall for a Japanese and her cold eyes suited that deep throaty and luscious vioce she flung my way. “Hi, I am Reika…” she introduced herself, holding out her delicate brown hands. I shook her hands and took out a cigarette from my Mild Seven box. I offered it to her. I knew she wouldn’t refuse and of course she didn’t. We started walking. Reika had  a smile on her face. It was just a small one. “Do you know I am a virgin?” She asked me taking up my arm and slipping her arms under mine till we hooked up like a couple ambling out on the town. This is a very happy person I thought. “Facebook is good isn’t it?” She said kissing me on the cheek. “Well,” I thought “what’s going on here?” We’ve only just met for the first ime and this young girl  is placing so much trust in me. It felt kind of flattering. I thought I might as well ditch the idea of lunch and mochas at Friedlands the local cafe and head straight to my flat where  I could talk to this girl properly. I needed to find out why she liked me so much. Well, at least why she felt so comfortable around me. “Lucas, is that your real name or facebook name? I really like it. I can say it all day. Are you going to take me to a cafe?” I was absorbed with this girl, man. She was so beautiful. Her face was very honest and her attitude was refreshing. I answered her candidly. ” Well, originally that was my idea, but since I only live up the street, I thought you might like to chill at my house. Well, its a flat actually. I think in Japan you say apartment.” She smiled a cherubin smile and cried out “I love men like you…I love men like you. Lucas can I ask a question?” I found myself spontaneously kissing her face. “Go ahead” She made both of us suddenly stop in the middle of the kerb, a few feet from where I lived. “How old are you really?” I looked back into her deep searching eyes and told her the truth. “Thirty-five.” She laughed out loud bending herself double. “Hahaha…I thought you were the same age as me twenty-one. I love you still though. You said you were an artist when we talked on facebook. Is that a lie, Lucas?” I liked this girl, but something weird was happening to me as I put the key into the lock of my door. I was falling in love. It was deep. I don’t know how Reika felt, she just seemed drank on herself and her experience- me. “Is this your house? It is tall. I am impressed. I am coming in with one warning. When you take my clothes off make sure you put them in a neat pile next to the bed.”  I thought “Hell, she’s too forward.” So the next thing  I said was “Do you always treat new people you meet with so much openness?” Reika looked at me perplexed “Are you complaining. I am beautiful you know. Young. What you have is luck. No one can love you like me. I am in love. I saw you and fell in love now is the big ticket for the show. You’re going to make love to me and I will enjoy it.” with that I kissed her full lips and we entered the flat whereupon I closed the door to the world.
