Chapter 10 

I was sitting in the plane flying to Turkey. I had talked to my cousin so she arranged an awesome hotel for the guys. She was really happy when I called her. 

“Hello, Duygu… How are you?” I said when she answered the phone. 

‘OMG! Buse you called! I am fine!How are you?” 

“fine. Um… I called you because I need you to arrange me a hotel for six people.” 

“Why?” 

“You see… Arashi will be coming there for vacation and I will them so yeah I need six rooms.” 

“Oh My God!!!!! Really? That is so awesome!” Then she got into her serious business tone, “ Then Buse which hotel do you want? Also how long do I need to get a reservation for?” 

Then I gave her all the information I told her to find a proper translator that can speak Japanese. 

“Hai, hai” She said in Japanese then giggled. “Okay I will find someone. When are you guys coming?” 

“The day after tomorrow.” 

“Ehh?! If you weren’t my cousin I would beat you up! How am I supposed to prepare everything in 2 days?” 

“Well you are the pro in your job so I know you can. I believe in you!” I said and hanged up the phone; but I was not sure if I should really believe in her or not. 

Now I was sitting in a plane going to Antalya- a great city for tourist around the Medittarenean Sea. I just wanted to sleep but I could not help to stare at the sleeping face of Sho. Then he opened one of his eyes. 

“Its rude to stare at people for so long you know,” 

“St-staring?” I stuttered, “Who was staring?” I said as I looked away. 

“For the past 15 minutes or so you were staring at me.” 

“Hah! You are so funny. Why would I want to stare at you?” 

“Because I am your ichiban and you like me” He said smirking. 

“Who said I liked you?! Ugh! You are so full of yourself. I definitely do not like you that way.” 

“Why so serious Buse-chan? I was just kidding” he said raising his hands up. 

“Whatever.” 

“You are doing it again” he said teasingly. 

“Doing what?” 

“Pouting.” 

“I am not pouting.” I said but I knew I was. 

“I am going to sleep, oyasumi” I said and closed my eyes. 
-- 

“buse-chan wake up” I heard someone say. “we are landing wake up” 

“Ehh? Nani??” I said as I tried to open my eyes. 

“We are about to land so you need to put on your seatbelt.” Sho said. 

“Oh.” Yeah, I just remembered that I was on a plane. I tried to buckle up my seatbelt but it just wouldn’t get in. Ugh! This is so frustrating. 

“Stupid seatbelt, why won’t it work?!” I said as I tried to fix it. 

“Here let me help,” Sho said as he reached from his seat, which was on the other side of the walkway, to put my seat belt on. It felt weird to have his hands around my waist and his face so close to me. I turned my face around to  hide my blushing face. 

“Here it’s fixed.” He said smiling up at me. 

“A- arigatou.” 

Why was my heart beating so fast? This wasn’t right but I as stared into his deep brown eyes I felt like they were hypnotizing and pulling me towards him. 

“This is your pilot speaking. We will be landing to Antalya, Turkey shortly. So please put on your seatbelt. I hope you had a nice flight!” The pilot’s voice allowed having my thought back in order. 

“You should put your seatbelt on too.” I said to Sho; trying to get myself out of this awkward situation. 

The pilot was still talking so that allowed to clear my head. I slapped my cheeks to get back into reality. Baka! What was I thinking? I should be more careful around him. 

After getting our luggage, I found my cousin who was lifting up a poster with my name on it so that I could find her between all those people. 

“Hajimemae, My name is Duygu. I will be your guide for this holiday so yoroshiku onegaishimassu.” She said in perfect Japanese. Wow, when did she study? 

“Yoroshiku!” all the guys said to her. 

“Duygu when did you learn Japanese?” I whispered to her in Turkish. 

“Well I have been studying you know.” She whispered back. I was really impressed by her. So that’s why she giggled when I asked her to find a tour guide that speaks Japanese. 

“Then, I will be taking you to your hotel. The van is waiting right outside the airport.” She said in a totally professional way. 

The boys responded back with Hais and OKs; Nino was to engrossed with his DS to actually reply back. Sho and Matsujun were looking around and trying to understand what the signs and the people were saying. As we walked towards the car I realized that Ohno and Aiba were asking my cousin some questions and she was answering back with a bright smile on her face that matched Aiba’s. They sure would make a cute couple but I guess that would be impossible. I saw some chocolates that I love on the stands. It was chestnuts wrapped in chocolate called ‘marron glace’. 

“Hey Duygu!” I said calling my cousin. 

“What do you want?” 

“Do you have some change with you?” 

“Yeah why?” 

“I still don’t have lira (Turkish money) with me and I want to buy something so can I borrow some?” 

“Sure” she said as she gave me some money that she took out from her wallet. 

“Sir I would like to have a bag of these chestnut candies please.” 

“That will be 12 Liras.”The guy said. I handed him the money and got a bag full of them. They were pretty big so one would be enough for a person but I really loved it so I bought a lot. 

As we sat in the van on our way to the hotel, I opened the bag and got one candy out to eat. “ oishiii!” I whispered and smiled to myself. 

“What is that?” Sho asked. 

“It’s a candy. You want some?” I said as I handed him one. 

“Sure,” he said and ate it. “Maximum Ume” he said and I smiled. 

“oohh can I have some too Buse-chan?” aiba said. 

“This is not shukudai-kun you know.” Nino said to him without looking up from his DS. “Does anyone know where I can get a new battery for this? It's plug won't work here.” he asked to no one in particular. 

“Sure you can have some Aiba-chan.” Then I passed it around so that everyone could have some. 

“There is an electronics store right across the hotel so when we arrive I can buy one for you,” Duygu said to Nino. 

“Hai, wait I will come too. I don’t have to bother by people realizing who I am or anything so I wanna shop too.” 

“Of course. Then I will take you there.” Duygu replied back. I could not help but realize that Duygu would look at Aiba really quick and then look ahead to the road to not get caught. 

When we arrived at the hotel Arashi got their keys to their own rooms while I learned that I would be sharing a room with my cousin. 

“Do you guys want to go to your rooms and rest or want to do something else?” 

“I say we go out to eat.” Ohno said. 

“I agree. Plane food so I am starving.” Jun agreed. 

“Okay. There is a really good seafood restaurant around here so I will be taking you guys there. Is that Okay?” she said again in her pro manners. 

“That’s awesome, after that we can stop by at that store to get me the battery converter.” 

“Of course.” Duygu said. “We will be walking there since its only five minutes away from the hotel. And you guys can get used to the environment. I will be leading the way.” She said and started to walk like a real tour guide. So we started to follow her like a group of baby ducks following after their mother. This was going to be fun.
