    Leaving the house never looked so appealing before.  Salome was tired and aching, and everyone was on edge from what happened the night before.  Not to mention the constant stream of phone calls and attempts at the press to get an interview or a photo.  She couldn't leave the state, especially with Jonba so going upstate with Bobby was a good, safe idea.

Picking up the blond boy from the floor, she grunted a little bit at his weight against her side and arms.  He grumbled a little bit, but she gave him a look before handing him his Elmo doll and took him back upstairs to her bed room.  Stepping inside she smiled at Hiro as the boy hid his face against her neck.

    "Don't be shy, it's Hiro, he's going to take us on a trip."

Jonba looked up with big brown eyes and held two fingers. Yes, Jonba was two, well almost but it was hard to hold up one and a half fingers. Especially when you are almost two. He grinned, and looked up as the new person walked in. Oh more play things!

Salome looked up, and smiled at Bobby. Walking over to him, she hugged him gently and motioned to the two other males. "Hiro, this is Bobby Drake. Bobby, this is Hiro Nakamura, and of course Jonba." Stepping away from him, back toward the bed she shrugged. "We just got here."

"Hi, Bobby. I am Hiro Nakamura." He manages to bow even with a two year old on his hip before he sticks out the hand with Elmo in it. "Sorry." He tucks Elmo under his arm and holds out his hand.

Bobby can see Hiro looks worried. His eyes sort of slide from Salome. "A pleasure to meet you."

He hugged Salome and then stuck out his hand for Hiro. "Nice to meet you, Nakamura-san. Thanks for bringing them here."

He looked back towards Salome. "In that case I've been here the whole time, and was just waiting to make a grand entrance."

"Ah, you should have waited a minute longer, I was going to put out the red carpet and sound the trumpets." Smiling a little bit, she gave him a look and moved to Hiro.

"Would you like me to take, Jonba?"

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Do you want to go see your sister?" he asks Jonba.

"Should I be snapping pictures at the red carpet entrance?" Hiro smiles a bit. "Unfortunately, I forgot my camera."

"That's cool, I'm camera shy." After the introductions were out of the way, Bobby went over and sat down in a chair by the bed. "There's a pool here if you guys want to swim. And I got us two rooms, but I can stay in here if you want."

He looked over at Hiro. "You're welcome to stay as long as you like, man. Plenty of room, and any friend of Salome's..." Well, almost any friend... "Is a friend of mine."

"You, camera shy? I find that hard to believe." Grabbing Jonba, she spun him around and then hugged the laughing boy to his chest. Shrugging, she glanced at Hiro, and then back and Bobby. "I think I can spend the night alone, that way if Jonba gets upset, he won't bug you."

Kissing the boy's head, she sat down and looked up at Hiro. "Will you stay?"

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Hiro smiles.

He watches them play. He's already retreating behind a mask, unsure of what to do or say.

"Why? 'Cause I look like a handsome actor? Good reason!" Bobby shrugged. "Okay, but if you get upset, you knock on my door. Got it?"

He watched Hiro for a minute. "So what do you do, Hiro?"

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

Salome opened her mouth but then shut it, saying nothing but shaking her head. Finally when she did find words she glanced back up at him. "You bet, I'll bang on the door and scream my head off. I am surprisingly good at making noise."

Setting Jonba on his feet, he held on to her fingers as he tried out his walking skills.

"I am a programmer and customer representative at my father's company, although I am sort of in a strange situation there."

Hiro kneels down and waves Elmo. "Come see Elmo?"

[isalsogreat.livejournal.com]

Bobby winked at Salome before turning back to Hiro. He was about to ask why it was strange, but he wasn't sure if that would be impolite. So instead he said: "Well, I know a thing or two about strange situations."

[sweetsalome.livejournal.com]

"That's because you are a strange man, aren't you Bobby bee?" Laughing, she stuck her tongue out at him as Jonba let go and toddled over to Hiro and the Elmo doll.

Elmo doll, the holy grail for any respectable two year old.

As Jonba grabbed at the toy, Salome looked up at Bobby. "I was joking before, but now I am wondering what you are really talking about."

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

"Honto?" he says to Bobby. "My sister is now running the company. I should be running it, but my sister is. She has a far better head for business than I do."

He surrenders Elmo to Jonba, but stays down at his level in case he wants up or to get on the bed.
