Miss Tina's Arrival at Tokyo Haneda Airport
The airplane from Beijing had already landed, and anytime soon Miss Tina might appear at the terminal arrival hall.
I positioned myself in front of the automatic doors holding a signboard with her name clearly visible.
I haven't seen her before, so I didn't know what she looked like. I had asked the Cute Mistress to send me a picture, but she refused, saying that Miss Tina knew me well from the many images she had shared with her and that in any case, the signboard should avoid any confusion.
I had blushed at the thought of the pictures that the Cute Mistress had shared without informing me, and it was very uncomfortable to have to wait for a young woman who was going to play such an important role for me in the coming days without knowing anything about her, but of course I was in no position to object to the Cute Mistress' decisions.
Passengers were coming through the exit, and I focused on young girls, trying to guess which was my Mistress's good friend.
Finally, a rather plain-looking Chinese girl smiled at me and came near me.
I have to admit that I had hoped that the Mistress' friend would be as pretty as her, while Miss Tina was no different from all the other girls, probably students, who had arrived with her and now were in the hall. Her clothes were very simple, a burgundy jumper and blue jeans.
She had however very mobile, sharp eyes, who betrayed her intelligence and her thrill toward what was going to happen.
"You are Yuzu's little boy, isn't it?" she said, almost laughing, with a loud voice.
"Yes..." I whispered while a woman next to me turned to look at us with curiosity.
"Take my luggage...and you should have something for me..."
"Yes, Miss Tina!" I replied quickly, taking hold of her large suitcase and trolley. In the meanwhile, I took out a small box from my trousers' pocket and gave it to her.
The young girl opened it and took out the little key that was in it, looking at it giggling.
"So Yuzu wasn't joking! You'd better be a very obedient little boy! Let's go!" she commented laughing, putting back the key in the box, and putting the box in her handbag.
"Yes, Miss! You'll find no reason to complain!"
The Cute Mistress had trained me to answer promptly and clearly, in public, without caring of what other people might think, and so I did, even if the woman who had heard us before was still staring at us, unsure on why a well dressed and groomed middle-aged man was so submissive to such a common-looking girl.
We took the elevator to the parking lot, reached my silver Lexus sedan and I opened the front door, at the passenger side, for Miss Tina.
She looked at me angrily and slapped me in the face. Even if her hand was small, the blow was sudden and sharp, and I felt my cheek burning.
I realized that this girl wasn't going to make things easy for me.
"Is this my seat, sloppy little boy?"
"Sorry Miss..." I replied quickly and opened the rear door for her. Of course, she wasn't going to sit next to her driver.
I loaded her luggage, next to the large leather bag that the Cute Mistress had asked me to take from the house.
In the meanwhile she waited, sitting comfortably in the car; soon after we left the parking lot heading for the city.
A Proper Introduction
I was driving smoothly on the Tokyo circular highway, toward the Shinagawa area, where she had her hotel.
