Part 1I open my eyes lazily but closed them immediately caused by the warm rays from the sun, drilling through the window glass, illuminating my whole face. I sign irritated as I slowly get up from the bed and close the curtains quietly trying not to wake up the beauty that was sleeping next to me.
I walk towards the bed and sit next to her. I watch her silently as I bring by hand and slowly remove the bangs covering her face. “Minami” she whispered in her sleep. Hearing that, I smiled. She is so beautiful. I can just sit here and watch her sleep the whole day.
As I watch her whole face my vision stops at her lips. They look so soft and I bet they are sweet too. I really want to kiss her.
I smile and without realizing it I start to move closer to her. I know I’m a coward but I really want to kiss her. Is it wrong wanting to kiss your best friend? Am I wrong for…. loving her?
I move closer and closer. And finally I closed the distance that was remaining between us. I lost my self completely. Like I thought her lips really are sweet.
I quickly broke the kiss not wanting to wake her up. It’s a good thing she didn’t because if she had woken up it would’ve been really awkward.
What would she say If she knew I kissed her just now?
I get up from the bed and go downstairs to prepare a breakfast. Knowing Atsuko she would be hungry when she wakes up. That girl, despite her sexy, thin body can eat. Give her a truck of food and she will eat it, all of it!
Atsuko’s POVMy alarm starts ringing and I quickly get up from the bed startled. I turn it off and look around and see that Minami is not here. “She is probably in the kitchen.” As I get from the bed and head towards the kitchen my phone interrupts me.
I extend my hand and took the phone. I open it and as I read the name I smiled brightly.
From AoiAtsuko, how are things going?
I haven’t been doing much…..
Actually, I just got up now.
What are you up to today?His name is Nakamura Aoi. I’ve had a crush on him since junior school. Wait? Is he asking me on a date? Finally!! I have to go and tell Minami!
End of Atsuko’s POVMinami’s POVAs I’m almost done with preparing the breakfast I felt hands wrapping around my body, hugging me from behind. I smile softly, but that didn’t last long. “He asked me on a date!!” she said happily.
I slowly turn around and make a fake smile not bothering to ask who it was, because I already know..
Nakamura Aoi….“Finally.” I said as I put the dishes on the table. I want to get out of here.
I quickly gather my things and head to the door.
“Minami, where are you going?” she asked as she grabbed my hand. “Home“ I said coldly trying to stop my tears not wanting to worry her.
“Aren’t you going to congratulate me?” she asked sadly. She is breaking my heart and now she wants me to congratulate her.. I’m her best friend, so I have to, right?
“Congratulations!” I said trying to make a happy expression for her. I take her hand of off me and run away.
“Minami?” she called me but I didn’t even bother to turn around.
At The Train StationAfter the date with him when she starts telling me how good it went, I won’t be able to stand it!
I began to cry and put my hand to cover my eyes. “I’m being stupid” I thought.
I have to stop being like this…
I should let Atsuko be with whoever she likes…
But, how? I ask myself.
Suddenly I heard a familiar voice calling me. “Takahashi – san? Are you waiting for someone?” he asked.
I turn around and see a familiar boy. “We talked the other day.” He said smiling.
“The other day?” I asked.
“Ah, I saw you when I was looking out the train window.” He said. “So I got off at Nakao – Kachimachi and rode back over here.” Then he asked again.
”Are you waiting for someone?”
I looked down at the ground and answered. “No – Nobody.”
We just stand there for some minutes waiting for the train to come.
“So…” he starts hesitantly.
Then he starts messing his hair and I look at him confused a little. “What is he doing?” I asked myself.
“So… Um.. What are you doing? He asks.
“Th – There something else as well…. The reason I took the train back… When I saw you standing there…. I really wanted to talk to you!!!” he suddenly blurted out leaving me totally shocked and speechless.
“Ta – Takahashi – san, is there anyone you are going out with?”
“If there isn’t…. I…. Won’t you please go out with me?” he asked blushing.
“We never talked in middle school, but…. In elementary school you… Ah, a mail!” he continued talking while sweating.
I closed my fist and said. “Okay”. He was a bit shocked. “Eh?”
“Okay, I will go out with you.”
I know, I know why I’m doing this. But I want to stop this feeling. I want to stop loving her. I want to…. Forget her.
The Next DayAt The SchoolAtsuko’s POV“Ah! Atsuko, you finally showed up!!” said Yuko.
“Ah, Yuko. I’m late because my hair was a mess when I got up this morning. You understand, right?” I said nervously.
“I know what you mean. You were so shocked, you couldn’t sleep, right?” she said awkwardly.
“Huh?” I asked not really knowing what she is talking about.
“Me too. Never in a million years would I have thought that, Takamina, would beat me…”
“Huh, Takamina?” I asked still not knowing what she is talking about.
What about Takamina. Has something happened to her? I can’t help but worry, she is my best friend. Yesterday she was strange. Is she sick?
“You’ve met him, right? What kind of person is he? She asked me curiously.
“Eh? Met who?” I haven’t met anyone I told myself.
“Isn’t obvious? I’m talking about, Takamina’s boyfriend. What, boyfriend? Since when?
I can’t believe she has a boyfriend. We are best friends, but she never told me she had someone she liked.
I should be happy, right?
