"Shinjite, why are you so tan? Now thinking about it, where is your dad? I never seen you with him or anything...."

I sigh. i'm not sure what to tell them. My mother told me she fell in love with a American Black man who was Naval Lieutenant around the time of the Second World War. Because my grandparents never approved of him since he was part of the Allies side in that War and Japan was part of the Axis Powers, my mom saw him in private.

She told me that when they were taking him back, he said he'd be back for her, to wait for her. She told him she'd wait and she found out she was pregnant with me. Even after I was born, she waited for him.

I still hold the same hope she has that he'll return for us. For now, I'm different. I have tan skin but the features of a regular japanese woman. My hair is a bit coarse but could be easily flattened with water.

"My dad's on business. He's always busy. i'll be sure to tell you when he comes over," I tell my friend, Minako.

"HEY! You guys! There's ships here! They're from America. Come on!" Emi shouts, running toward us in her kimono and tall sandals. She stops and pants with her hands on her knees and grabbing mine and Minako's wrists.

I go with her, running in my own sandals and heading to the bay. In Tokyo, we get alot of foreigners so it's no big surprise that there'd be a foregin ship here.

"Like what you see yet Mr. NightStalker?" my boss asks me. We're on a ship headed for the Tokyo mainland and to our hotel/conference center. We flew here from America of course, but my boss figured a boat trip would make the experience even more amusing.

"sure, it's beautiful" I tell him. At the moment I'm more interested in setting up my iPhone to have the applications to recognize foreign languages and translate across your wants and questions. I don't know too much Japanese at all other then some simple basics to get me through the day.

I'm a business man, just trying to make my living and earn my ranks up the corporate ladder. I musn't be doing TOO badly if my boss saw fit to bring ME on this trip of his. It's a once yearly business excursion my boss takes and always chooses one his employees by hand to take along. Usually someone he see's as a great prospect to the company.

The closer we get to the main shore the more I see some of the Japanese gathering round, some to greet us, some to merely snoop at us foreigners.

"I'm going to go gather my things" I tell my boss, decided to get my luggage and laptop and keep them secure as we dock.

It's so strange that the ship comes in and a few men come out. Everyone around us giggle and talk amongst each other. I can tell that they'll not speak any Japanese to us. I'm scared.

"What do you think they'll be like? They'll whisk us away I bet!" Emi says and Minako plays along with her.

"But they're foreigners...They wont speak anything to us in our mother tongue or even attempt...It's just so strange. So weird..." I say, not being as excited as Emi or Minako. It's one thing to be Japanese and looked at strange, it's another thing to be half japanese and black to be looked at strange.

"Dont worry! They'll try to! Atleast. It'll be funny, trust me! it's fun messing with the minds of Americans," says Emi as she sees a few businessmen walk from the boat.

I see one who is extremely handsome and I cant help but stare a bit.

I get off the boat and walk down with my boss and wonder how far it is to our hotel and such. I can't help but notice the scenery is quite beautiful around us. Despite being such a populated city the edge around the water is surrounded by park and what I presume are Cherry Blossom trees and lots of grass. There are many out just having an afternoon jog or walking thier dogs. I look in other directions, seeing the mountains, the ocean we were just on and of course the city.

"it's interesting" I tell my boss who nods

"you'll like it here Gabe. Plus in our spare time I may just turn a blind eye if you need a 'massage' or something" he winked. I don't even think I want to ask, but I have seen some of the porns of course and know what stereotypes are given of the Japanese women.

Speaking of Japanese women I see a group watching us in the distance with some of the other citizens. I don't know why, but I just decided to humor them and at least wave a 'hello' to them since they aren't within speaking distance quite yet. One of them seems a bit more 'exotic' then the others.

I look away quickly when the man looks over to us. Emi and Minako giggle and of course, drag me closer to see the businessman upclose. When we get closer, of course, Emi and Minako play with the man's mind.

"Herro," they say in their 'Engrish'. "We Emi and Minako. We see you two vely handsome."

I roll my eyes and refuse to speak that way just for them to get some kicks in their humor and stereotypes against us. But the man I looked at earlier is so much more handsome up close and I find myself keeping a distance.

I listened to the girls and smiled politely but my boss was the one who decided to 'entertain' them by speaking for us. He'd been here every year for MANY years so he knew the language much better then I.

"good afternoon ladies" he told them and smiled "excuse us, but we're on our way to the hotel to drop off our luggage for our business trip, perhaps you can give me a visit later" he said with a smirk that made me shake my head. I saw him look the girls up and down to even further show his point. The man IS married but obviously he's not that loyal. I never would of realized it til now. He always came across as a proper family man. I start wondering just HOW he made HIS way up the ladder to being the boss he is now. I certainly am not following THAT path.

I was looking at my phone and getting some translations and said "Minasan ohayoo gozaimasu" (good morning everyone) to them as best I could, making a proper effort at least. The darker skinned girl of the group is quite striking but very quiet compared to the others.

I turn back around to look at the men and look at them.

Minako and emi just giggle. "What business do you work for? I bet it's a nice big business too," Emi says and Minako nods.

"we'd like to know you two a bit more. Shinjite, wouldnt you like to join? It'd be nice! You could get a turn," Minako says to me, winking and looking at the younger man.

"I dont think having a turn with strangers is my style. I'll talk to him however..." I say to them. I go a bit closer, a bit wary of them and especially weary of the older one whom I could tell was married.

"You're such a stick in the mud," Minako says, shaking her head and giggling.

I have no clue about anything that was just said but I can tell the girls seem to of taken my boss up on his proposition and it makes me shake my head again. Though I guess it fits, he IS handsome. He's tall, slender but lean, black hair, striking blue eyes and features and apparently a seductive voice when he wants to use it.

"I'll tell you two girls later about our business" boss says to them, enticing them to keep seeing us by keeping secrets to thier questions. I knew this cause in english he told me when he wasn't entertaining them in thier language.

I type my name into my phone and it comes up with a translation 'geiburieru' and I point at myself and then show them the name so they would at least know "Gabriel" I say in my own language though so they could hear it and know how I said it.

Somehow I'm assuming 10 minutes onto land and I apparently already have a 'date' set up. I guess it can't be ALL that bad.

"Shinjite" I say. My mother named me 'Believe' since she believes that one day my father will return and I believe he will too. I look at the man into his eyes and see how strong he looks.

I pick up his luggage and say, "What hotel do you stay at? Emi, Minako, let's help out atleast. We might as well be respectable to these foreigners..."

Minako frowns and Emi looks confused but they end up helping me out with the lugagge.

I go to protest them taking my luggage but they already had it before I could respond and my boss seemed to get enjoyment out of seeing the girls do what they did.

"they asked what hotel we stay at" Boss told me

"ah" I said and dug into my pockets and pulled out a business card and showed them so they could see and know where we were going. We were staying in the core of the downtown at a Hilton Conference Center. I know for sure on this trip I wanted to tour and sight-see, maybe one of these girls would be able to show us without me having to hire a tour guide

"doomo arigatoo gozaimasu....Shinjite??"(thank you very much) I say to the one who had picked up my luggage. I think I caught that her name was Shinjite, hopefully I didn't hear it wrong. I look at her, pretty features, nice hair, striking eyes. She did have a pretty voice when she talked.

"Arigatou gozaimasu," I correct him. I would speak english to him but I dont know any since I had no one to teach me English and luckily the man next to him can speak Japanese. But I learn fast.

"Here. We'll see you later" says Emi and Minako waves goodbye.

"Sayonara..." I say, leaving the two men. I feel my cheeks become warm. What is this feeling I'm having. i just met this man and already he has an impression on me? I dont know...

I curse to myself that my phone seems to be a bit out of date or not as accurate as it would like to claim about the language but shrug it off, I was close enough she knew what I meant and hopefully would appreciate the effort.

Once we showed them where we were staying they took us that way, helping us and left as we were checking in and getting our room numbers. I am pretty sure my boss made a 'later date' to see them though.

I go up to my room and unpack, laying on the bed and thinking of the darker girl.

"Wierd" I say to myself, wondering why she is stuck in my mind. We have a free day as the conferences start tomorrow, so I have a bit of time to kill.

I go home to my mother who welcomes me with open arms and even though she uses a cane to walk and her hair is grayed, she is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Her pictures show her to be even mor ebeautiful. Akiko Takahashi is her name.

"Shinjite, what did you do today?" she asks, smiling.

"Well, me, Emi and Minako saw two american men. You know, white men and they're on a trip of business. one was around my age and is so handsome..." I say, sighing a bit as I cook dinner.

"I know where you're coming from. Falling in love with an American man," she says smiling and clapping her hands.

"Mama, I'm not in love! I just met him" I say.

"I 'just' met your father and I loved him and continue to wait for him," she says and I nod.

"Alright, mama, I'm cooking now." I say to her.

Later that evening I meet with my boss Mr. Katsuro (sure, Desch, but our Desch is alot more built then what I said this one is, hehe) and we went down to the hotels restaurant to have some dinner

"I told those girls we are eating here, I quite enjoy the food everytime I visit here, surely they'll come keep us company" he says

"and your wife?" I wonder, not able to help but asking

Mr. Katsuro shrugs off my question, obviously intent on not answering or owning up to his actions. Suddenly I start questioning my own place in the company. Though my aim IS his position, so maybe......

I shake my head of the thoughts and look at my menu "any recommendations?" I ask, since he's been here before

"well, the sushi is VERY fresh, the rice is perfectly cooked, not hard or chewy...steer clear of the duck, but the stir fry's are also excellent" he recommended to me

I look up and see the three girls heading in. I was amazed that they REALLY did show up. They looked dressed up and fancy as well...dressed to impress and single as I am, I had to admit a part of me was impressed.

The girls and my mother convince me to come to this. I wear a nice blue qipao and tied my hair in a bun. Minako wear a nice kimono-esque outfit and Emi wear a nice black dress. We sit with the men and Emi and Minako hug up on the married man, while I sit with the other.

"So...How do you like your stay? How is Tokyo to you?" I say to the man, hoping he understand me.

"You're so handsome and charming!" Emi says and Minako's giggles come afterwards
