Chapter 13

“Good luck!,” I heard Jun said once before I went out from the car. I replied his words with a smirk.

“Don’t look down on me, Matsumoto. I’ve went through this several times,” I said, just to remind him. Or to be exact to warn him to stop telling me I’m nervous facing the girl inside the house.

“Of course you have, Nino. But this one is a very special one. Trust me. It’s going to be hard. Even I’m 100% sure…”

“That she loves me,” I cut him. “You don’t have to repeat them again and again”

My words just received a small laughs from him.

“Well, then once again, good luck! Jun said, patting my shoulder.

“jaa, thanks for the treat,” he smirks.

“What a weird Ninomiya Kazunari tonight. Not even once you ever said that before,” I smug.

“Peoples change. Oyasumi!” I said before I close the door.

The house is dark, well at least the kitchen is not. It has been a habit by kaachan to left it open, so that the house will not completely dark. I was about to go up straight to my room, passing the living room before I heard someone voice.

“What the hell did you think? Going out till the late of night” she asks me all of sudden. “Kazu”

Startled by the sudden appearance, I just stay there with wide eyes.

“what the hell are you doing in the dark?”

“you didn’t answer me with a correct answer,” I could feel she’s pouting. By the same time, there’s obviously an annoyed tone in her voice

“oh, shut up, you are so like an obaasan” she said before received a cushion that was thrown by her.

“Obaasan?? I was worried,” i chuckles

“There you go, Obaachan... don’t worry too much ok, I’m fine” I could see her eyebrows narrow.

“What’s this? Dejavu at the different situation?” I can’t hold my laughter anymore. Obviously, it’s the same dialogue we use to talk earlier. Realizing this, she joins me laughing.

It’s something inside my stomach now. I feel uneasy. It’s not a good sign because normally this only happened when I’m nervous. And the reason for my nervousness tonight is in front of me. Her.

“what are you doing in the dark, Rii-chan? You didn’t answer my question,” I ask her a question, just to hide my nervous. Damn it, Jun. he’s right. This is tough.

“I can’t sleep,” she said short.

“so you intended to sleep here?”

“if possible,”

Thanks to the darkness. I could feel my face hot. I’m sure blushing right now. This is different, totally different. I never feel this way before to the person I love.

3 years ago, we went to visit her. She and her mum, my aunt were supposed to fetch us at the airport. And then the accident happens. Aunt dead instantly. At that time, when I heard she needs blood donation, I didn’t think twice. I donate her mine. And at that time, I’m sure I love her.

But I hide it. I hide it from everyone. I even have another relationship. Just to hide my feeling. Yes, because I’m scared of being rejected.

“what’s wrong?” she ask just to break the silent. I shook my head. Which that is obviously a lie. Of course there’s something wrong.

Slowly, I make my way to the couch. Trying my very best to not show my nervous towards her, I give her a smile, which cause her to look at me in a weird way. Oh god, please. How many girls I have been with? Telling her the same words is not going to be a bad consequence right?

“You look so weird. Hontou ni. What’s wrong? And don’t you dare tell me nothing,” she said. I rub my hair. Taking a deep breath, I turn my face towards her. Thinking of the right words to be saying before I start. By the dim light from the kitchen, she looks really beautiful. What the hell am I thinking right now?

“Ne, Riisa-chan,” I begin. She looks at me, paying her full attention to whatever I’m going to say.

“Are you hiding something?” I ask. She looks at me a little shock with my sudden question.

“no,”she answer a little stuttering with it. “Why?”

“Because, it looks like you did hiding something from me.”

The real thing is, I know nothing if she’s hiding something from me. And then I see her looking down, no longer facing me. By then, I know, I’m 100% sure she is hiding something from me.

When she lifted up her head, I saw her smirking.

“Me hiding something? I’m not an idol to hide anything, Kazu-kun,”

“Well, you don’t have to be one to hide something,” again she smirks.

“Or is it you who hiding something from me?” I look at her.

“I do,” I said short.

“Huh?”

This is the time.

“I love you.”

RIISA POV

What the hell was just happening?

“I love you.” His words keep repeating inside my head. For a moment, I feel like I have stop breathing. His words send shiver all over my body.

Both of us just keep silent for a moment.

“Rii-chan,” I gesture my hand for him to stop. What is this feeling actually? I’m happy, obviously happy to know that my love reciprocates. But by the same time, wasn’t this too fast for me to accept? While I have decided to stop loving him, why is it now?

I take a deep breath.

“You’re joking right? That’s funny. Ha ha,” I said. But he shows me a serious expression. Suddenly, I feel scared.

“Do I look like I’m doing a joke here?” he asks, serious. My heart was beating so fast, I didn’t think I breathe properly at the moment.

I didn’t reply his words. Hoping he’ll forget this soon enough, I stand up.

“I’m going to sleep, oyasumi,” I turn, making my step towards the stairs before I could feel my hand being grabbed by him. Another second, I was in his arms with his face an inch away from mine. Both of us were staring at each other.

“Kazu-kun. What..” I didn’t finish my words. His lip now meets mine.
