Upside Down 88 Chapter 86: The Dance Part 1

"Alright. Thank you Mama." I tell her with a smile.

I pull out my phone, unlock it, and text Ryu, 'Hey. Mama knows you don't have any food in the house, so she wants you three to come over for breakfast. I'll have it on the table around 7:00, so try not to be late.'

He replies, 'Thanks for the invite. I'll tell Mom. By the way, thanks for the house. Everyone here appreciates you doing it. I know Mom doesn't make a lot of money and there's no way she could afford a place like this.'

'It's the least I could do since I was the cause of today's uproar.'

'No you weren't. Dad has always been this way. A guy beat him in a tournament many years ago and he still complains that the judges robbed him because his ego just can't take that someone may be better than him. Mom's right, Dad's ego gets him into a lot of trouble.'

'Alright. I believe you. By the way, I'll be taking you two shopping again to get you yukatas. I'll be taking you two to get them soon, so look forward to it.'

'If you say so, we will. Sorry, but Mom is yelling for me. I love you. I'll see you at breakfast.'

"Night. I love you too.'

After I put my phone back in my pocket, I look at Mama. "Thank you Mama."

"You're welcome. I like him too, he's a good boy and he treats you with respect. It's easy to see how much he cares about you."

"After all that went down at his house, we were at the front door when his dad came storming up the hallway and Ryu stepped in front of me. It felt as if he was willing to fight his dad to protect me."

"Of course he would sweetheart. He loves you, so as far as he's concerned you're worth protecting."

"I feel the same way about him."

"I know you do sweetheart, but please, remember your promise to me."

I give her a hug. "Mama, you know I always keep all of my promises. I consider them sacred and I'll never break them given a choice. You should already know that."

"I do. I'm simply reminding you."

I hug her a little tighter and reply, "Thank you, but you never need to remind me about something like that. I know I have a lot going on, and you worry about me, but I do have an eidetic memory, even if things do slip my mind from time to time."

"That might be true, but you're also rather impulsive."

"Me? Impulsive? I overthink everything."

"So, you don't see it? You, my darling daughter, act without thinking all the time."

"I'd more call it making quick decisions," I say with an impish grin.

Mama giggles and replies, "Try to moderate the overly quick decisions. You worry me enough as it stands."

"I'll try Mama. On that note, I'm a bit tired, so I'm going to bed." She grins as I gently rub her abdomen, and say "Good night little sisters." I give her a hug and kiss, then tell her, "Good night Mama. I love you."

[Sunday, July 14th]

My alarm wakes us up at 5:00 this morning since it's going to be a rather busy and long day. We exchange our "Good morning," hug and kiss each other, so we can start our day. First order of business is, you got it, bathing.

Looking through my casual clothes, I choose a white, b.u.t.ton up, bustier crop top and my dark grey hot pants. Opening the drawer, I choose some white ruffled ankle socks and a new pair of panties. No bra is needed because of the type of top it is. If you're wondering why I chose this, it's because I don't have to pull them over my head and take the chance of messing up my hair and makeup. Chinatsu chooses something similar for herself.

Chinatsu heads to Sofi's room to wake her while I go to wake Honoka and Mayumi. Once we collect everyone, we head down to bathe. After showering and soaking, we dress and head to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Looking around the relatively small kitchen and dining room, I mentally sigh, thinking, 'I hope Daddy takes us to the architectural firm soon.' We need the room so more people can help in cooking.

Don't get me wrong, I love cooking and I don't really mind cooking for everyone here. It's simply very time consuming to do all the prep and everything else for all three meals, and it won't be long before we have to go back to school, which will add another thing I have to do to the already very long list of things for me to deal with.

Honoka and I cook while Mayumi and Chinatsu set the table and make some coffee. Mama, Dad, and Chiaki come into the dining room a few minutes later. "Good morning everyone," they say.

We return their "Good morning," and Chinatsu asks them, "Would you like some coffee? It's mocha."

Dad nods and Mama says, "Sounds wonderful." Chinatsu makes them each a cup and sets it down in front of them, then she makes one for both Honoka and I and sets it by us to sip as we work. The door intercom chimes and Chinatsu goes to answer it. She comes back with Maki, Ryu, and Ryo.

They say, "Good morning everyone," and Maki continues, "Thank you for having us this morning. It makes it a lot easier on me."

Mama answers, "We're happy to have you."

Ryu comes over to me and quietly says, "Morning. I like your outfit, but it seems a little out of character for you."

I grin as I turn around to look at him, "Morning." I stand on my tiptoes and give him a quick kiss. "This is because I don't want to mess up my hair and makeup after our appointment."

He blushes, glances at my parents, and mutters, "Sora, our parents are in the room with us!"

I giggle, "Aww, that's so cute. You really think they don't know I kiss and cuddle with you?" I look at Mama to ask, "Mama, when and where did I get my first kiss from Ryu?"

Mama grins as she replies, "On the ferris wheel at Playland at the end of your first date."

Maki, Mama, and Dad chuckle at his astounded expression. "Ryu, I've told you before, we have a very open relationship with our parents. There's nothing that we won't talk about or tell them."

His expression just makes me want to tease him even more, so I stretch back up and kiss him again, only a little longer this time. When I break our kiss and look up at him, I giggle at him because he's blushing furiously.

Maki asks Mama, "How can you be so sure they won't lie to you?"

"Easily." She looks at me. "Sora, do you want to make love to Ryu?"

"Certainly." I state with a serious expression. When I say that Ryu blushes even more.

"Why won't you?"

"Several reasons, but the main one being I promised you I wouldn't have s.e.x until I was married or at least engaged and talked to you about it."

"Thank you Sora." I nod at her and return to cooking. She looks back at Maki. "Now, do you see why we trust our children?"

"I'm amazed to be honest. I would never have believed that children would talk this openly with their parents."

"We've made it a point of never lying to them and in turn they don't lie to us. They know they can talk to us about anything and we won't judge them either. We've raised them to think for themselves, but they can also come to us over anything they need. They also know that promises are sacred in this house and are never to be broken or you lose that trust."

At this point, I tune them out as I sip my morning coffee and continue cooking. I'm making french toast and American style breakfast sausage, so it's fairly easy, even if it is a bit time consuming because of the amount I have to make of everything. Today's going to be long enough without me making things harder on myself. After putting everything on platters, Honoka and I set them on the table and take our seats.

Once everyone has served themselves and began eating, Mama announces, "Girls we'll need to leave here by 11:00 to make it to our salon appointment on time." We all nod.

After eating and cleaning up the kitchen, we excuse ourselves for a bit and take the boys up to our room for a bit of time alone until we have to leave. Chinatsu locks the door after we're all inside. Ryu sits down on the bed and I curl up in his lap and rest my head against him.

"That was seriously embarra.s.sing downstairs, Sora."

"Hmm?" I raise my head to look at him. "What was?"

"All of it. You kissing me in front of our parents. Telling them you want to have s.e.x with me."

"I don't think so. Honey, I'll never hide what I think and feel from our parents. Do you really believe your mother doesn't already know we make out? Our relationship is nothing to hide. I believe it's better if we are open and honest about it. Ryu, this will happen again. I will kiss you again in front of your mother. Count on it. I'm not saying I'm going to push you down in front of her and give you and hand job or anything, but kissing or hugging is nothing worth hiding from them."

He shakes his head. "You're an amazing girl Sora."

I nod. "Of course I am. You'll never find a better girl than me to love you. I'll never lie to you, I'll always tell you what I'm thinking or feeling, and I'll never cheat. I've seen where hiding everything can lead. It isn't pretty and it isn't fun. I'll never allow a relationship like that."

"Fine Sora. Kiss and hug me all you want in front of our parents."

"I already have plans to. Trust me, there's nothing to worry about. Didn't you see your mother's smile after I kissed you?"

"No, not really."

"Trust me when I say she wasn't upset in the least. I knew she wouldn't be." I push him backwards onto the bed and straddle him. "That said, shut up and let's make out."

Smart boyfriend that he is, he did just that. He pulls me down to him and kisses me, which we continue until a knock on the door interrupts us ninety minutes later.

"Mom sent me to get you or we'll be late." Sofi says through the door.

I sigh and sit up as Ryu removes his hands from my b.u.t.t and breast. "Okay lil' sis we'll be right down."

"Okay folks, you heard her, we have to go." I lean back in and give Ryu one last kiss and whisper to him, "That was wonderful. I love you."

"I love you too."

After I b.u.t.ton up my top and straighten myself out, I stand up and offer my hand to help him up, which almost ends up with me back on top of him because he is so much bigger than me. I'm sure you already know, but thank G.o.d for panty liners.

We all head to the entrance to put on our shoes to head out to the salon and the two of them head home.

Now, I won't go into a huge amount of detail here for what they did at the salon, but the poor stylist who did my hair took forever doing it. What she did was simple overall. I could do it myself, so that should tell you something. She takes a large amount of my hair from the top and back and makes it into a loosely woven bun on top. The part that takes so long is when she does a dutch braid with the remaining hair and made a crown around the bun. In my opinion it makes me look quite sophisticated. For my makeup, they did a smokey bronze eyeshadow with slightly heavier eyeliner than I usually wear and for blush they use a light copper color. I'll be using my normal medium red lipstick with gloss. I have to admit these girls know what they are doing and I'm more than a little impressed with their work.

Chinatsu has her hair done in long loose curls and made it into a loosely braided chignon. I love the look on her. A shimmery medium grey eyeshadow and a bronze blush.

Sofi, they braided the sides and used it to wrap around her hair in the back in a low ponytail since she didn't want her hair up. A smokey eyeshadow like me and a pinkish blush you can barely see.

Honoka, well, her hair is still growing out, so they did a french twist into a side bun. They used a shimmery copper eyeshadow on her, it really makes her eyes pop, and a light taupe blush on her.

Mayumi, they left some strands loose along her temples and made the rest into a loosely woven bun. For her makeup, they used a cobalt blue eyeshadow and a light bronze blush.

Mama, well, her usual, a french twist. I suppose it's easy for her to deal with and she likes it. They put a shimmery taupe eyeshadow on her and a bronze blush.

I'll say this, we six girls are eye catching at our worst, and right now we are flat out attention gathering to put it mildly. I can't wait to see how we all look when we are dressed up as well. Honoka calls the driver while Mama pays the rather large bill for the six of us.

Once the driver arrives, we pile in and head home. After we get home, I make a quick meal, with Mama's help, of broiled, thinly sliced, sea trout and penne pasta in an alfredo sauce, which we quickly eat since we are fast coming up on the time for us to have to start dressing. We pile our dishes in the sink and leave the clean up until later.

When Chinatsu and I reach our room, we pull our outfits out of the garment bags. I delve into my drawer for my stockings and a fresh pair of panties.

Chinatsu stops me when she sees what I pulled out. "You're not wearing those with that dress!"

I'm a bit perplexed, so I ask, "What's wrong with them? No one other than you will see them anyway."

She shakes her head adamantly. "No, just no." She takes them away from me and puts them back in the draw and pulls out a green thong and hands it to me. "You wear s.e.xy with s.e.xy my love. Your normal bikini panties are plenty cute for everyday, but not tonight, understand?"

I really don't, but I don't feel like arguing about the issue either, so I simply accept them with a nod and say, "Thanks." I reach in for one of the hated adhesive bras in green to finish everything off. Two reasons I'm wearing it. My dress is almost backless and with the way the front is cut I'll need it to help keep me from popping out. I don't care if my family, or Ryu sees my b.o.o.bs, but a bunch of strangers? Yeah, I don't need to explain that, do I?

You know I have lots of outfits. Many of these are party dresses ordered by Mama, or bought when we girls were out shopping. A couple of weeks back when Chinatsu and I were out shopping, we ran across a dress I simply fell in love with. It's a silk and tulle, emerald green, vintage 1950's style, off the shoulder dress. It has a crossed bodice, which comes across my upper arms and then down to my lower back. It reveals a lot of my cleavage and it's almost backless. Its a fitted dress with a flared skirt that falls to mid-thigh. I'll be wearing some sheer nude stockings and some tan, 10 centimeter stiletto heel cross strap pumps. I know they are taller than I normally wear, but Ryu is so much taller than I am. This way I won't be taking the chance of breaking my neck to look into those gorgeous eyes of his since this will bring me to within 7 centimeters of his height.

I believe Ryu will be extremely happy when he sees the way I'm dressed this evening. I put a lot of thought into this after he agreed to come with me.

Chinatsu put a lot of thought into her outfit for tonight as well. After lots of back and forth between us she settled a lace, silver-grey colored, cap sleeve dress. Fitted upper with a flared skirt that falls about a third of the way down her thighs. Along with ultra sheer, glossy, nude stockings with a Lilac pattern and she borrowed my yellow, 7.5 centimeter stiletto, bow strap heels.

Sofi is wearing her red, lace, off the shoulder, cap sleeve dress. Along with some sheer black spiraled dot patterned stockings and finally the 10 centimeter stiletto heel, silver pumps.

Mayumi is wearing the navy blue, tulle, strapless dress we got her. Along with glossy, ultra sheer nude stockings and ivory, 7.5 centimeter pumps.

Honoka is wearing the gold v-neck, ruffled wrap dress. Along with glossy, sheer black stockings and gold, open toe, cross strap 7.5 centimeter heel sandals.

Mama had to go shopping for a new dress. I'm sure you know why. She ended up with a creme colored, A line, short sleeve dress, which falls to just above her knee. Along with sheer nude stockings and some black, 5 centimeter heels.

After I dress, I touch up my mascara and put on my lipstick and gloss as does Chinatsu. We smile as we check ourselves over in the mirror. I'm more than pleased with the result of our efforts for tonight. Turning around to my desk I pick up my white clutch to drop in my phone, lipstick and gloss. I put on my watch and turn back to Chinatsu.
