Chapter 3

I headed home early from the set to see Diamond and was surprised to note a car out front. Looking it over I didn't recognize whose it was.

Opening the front door I headed down the hall towards the bedroom. As I neared it I noticed sounds coming from inside; one of them was Diamond moaning. When a male moan soon joined in I couldn't believe it. Standing at the door the thought of busting in and having it out with whoever it was crossed my mind, but as I thought about it she wasn't worth it.

Heading for the front door I closed it behind it and left. Starting the car I pulled off heading to Hitomi's hotel. Once I was in the parking lot I called her finding the number she had given me earlier.

Hitomi and Diamond had met before and hadn't always gotten along. Someone had told me they had once been friends, and thanks to a few of my boys back home, I was no stranger to female rivalry even with women that had once gotten along.

"Hello who is this?" Hitomi's voice came over the cell phone I was holding.

"It's Simon from the set. Can I come up?" I asked.

"Sure. I'll have the front desk give you the room number." Hitomi said.

Getting the number I took the elevator to the 3rd floor where she was staying. At room 311 I knocked in the door waiting outside patiently.

It didn't take her long to answer opening up for me. She was wearing jean shorts and cute little pink shirt that hugged her body.

"Hi Simon please have a seat. I was surprised to hear from you when I heard you were heading home to see Diamond." Hitomi said sitting on her bed.

Sitting down beside her I replied, "Thanks to the fact that I just found her cheating on me, she is now my ex-girlfriend. I was wondering if I could stay with you, if it's not imposing."

"That's no problem. I'm sorry you had to find out this way. The same thing happened with Diamond and a guy I was dating. She does this some times when people get to close. Why exactly I don't know." Hitomi said concerned for me, "Are you alright?"

"I'll be fine I guess. Just cared for her a lot. She was my first girlfriend." I said feeling depressed.

'How could this have happened? Had I smothered her somehow? If I had why hadn't she just told me instead of doing this?' I thought.

It felt like someone had ripped my heart out and I didn't know what to do. Right now it was all hitting me at once.

Taking my hand Hitomi said, "Just take a deep breath Simon. It will be okay."

I felt a hand wipe away tears as my vision became blurry as I tried desperately to hold them back.

"I must look like a mess. Some macho man I turned out to be huh." I said trying to joke about it.

"Don't worry about it. Your actually doing a lot better than I did the last time someone cheated on me. You never get completely use to it. Why don't you just lie down and I'll order us up some room service." Hitomi said her voice so calm and reassuring.

Nodded I took off my shoes laying down on the bed fully clothed, and just closed my eyes.

When room service showed up we ate dinner together, with me enjoying my first filet mignon.

"Good?" Hitomi asked.

"Delicious." I replied.

Setting down her fork at she finished her last bite Hitomi said, "You know I was thinking. If you wanted to you could head out to Japan with me tomorrow. I could use the company and would be happy to pay for your ticket. Besides I figure you should have a little fun to get your mind off things.
