I walked out the airport as I placed my glasses on my face, the sun was shinning bright and the heat of mid august didn't really surprise me, afterall here is where I was born, the country I had called my home for many years.

I sighed feeling a bit nostalgic until a thought crossed my mind that soured my mood and caused the smile on my face to vanish, I shook my head and looked around for a taxi before heading to the closest one, putting a smile on my face I looked at the driver who seemed to blush just from the sight of me, I wandered how old he was because of how simple it was for me to read him. It was pathetic but I kept a smile on my face none the less and asked him for help with my luggage and like a whipped beast he was happy to help, I sat in the car and waited on him to finish packing everything away and then get in before giving him directions and we were off.

I pulled my phone from my purse and crossed my legs I could clearly see him watching me with those dirty eyes as he thought he was being slick, I really hoped he didn't have a wife or daughters because it would just be sick, I looked from him and dialed the number for my new land lord and by the second wring it was picked up and a baritone voice came through my speaker.

"Hello, this is Mr.Watanabe and who do I have he pleasure of speaking with today?"

I put a smile in my voice as I answered "Hi Mr. Watanabe, this is Nami Ishikawa, I had called about the condo on the top floor that you said was still available."

It was as if just the sound of my voice had made this man happy "Oh miss Ishikawa it is good to hear from you again, does this mean you'll be moving in?"

I found myself rolling my eyes but held it from my voice "no I'll just be over there to take a look at it and then if everything is as you said I would be happy to move in right away."

"Oh of course, of course well whenever you're ready feel free to drop by."

I felt a wicked smile carve on my face "Oh that's great to hear, because I just pulled up in front."

There was silence on the other side of the line and I had to force myself to hold back my laugh "Oh well... come right up and I'll be waiting outside the condo for you."

"Okay thank you." I waited for him to hang up before going in my purse and pulling out my mirror, I looked really good but my lips seemed a bit dry, so I put on some lip gloss and asked the driver to wait for a few inute and he would be paid for it and once again he was happy to oblige.

I picked up my purse and got out the car looking up at the building that could be described as a sky scraper, I found myself hoping that the inside looked just as beautiful as the outside, I sighed and adjusted my skirt before heading inside the building, the lobby could only be described as sleek, I felt as if I had just walked into a casual law firm and found myself smiling brighter, it took about a minute for me to reach the top floor and just as he said he would be Mr. Watanabe was waiting outside one of the two condo's that was said to be on this floor.

The man was stout, descring him in one word, he was obviously wearing a rug on his head and he was half my size, of course with him being older than me, I spoke to him with the right honorifics, soon we had made it through the condo, it had three bedrooms each having access to the balcony, two bathrooms one was for the master bedroom and the other was for guest, it had a large living room a spacious kitchen and so many storage area's and of course it was fully furnished, by the time the tour had ended I had signed a contract and told Mr. Watanabe that the payment would be in his account by the end of tomorrow.

With the help of the taxi driver and a young man who I had promised to , I was able to move my luggage into the condo in no time and before I knew it I was soaking in a tub after confirming the payment for the condo over the phone with a banker.

"This is so much better and this time it will definitely be worth it."
