CHAPTER 32
I’m glad things were ok with us after that little sign of affection in my room. Eri wasn’t made at me and things were normal after that. When she got dressed she came up to me in the living room to watch TV together. Right now we’re watching a movie together. I’m lying on the couch while she’s lying on top of me with her head resting on my chest comfortably. She has this dreamy smile on as she holds on to me. I’m sure I have the same look. I really do love this girl. I don’t think words and express that enough. I have my arm resting on her back while my other hand is behind my head. We should do cuddling more often. It feels good to have her in my arms like this. Or have her this close. It makes me want to hold her forever. I focus back to watching the movie and Eri makes a small squealing sound at the couple that’s spending a romantic night together in some fancy restaurant exchange their love for each other. During the scene they keep talking all that mushy sweet talk the people in the movies do and then the guy asks the girl to marry him. I don’t know why we’re watching this chick flick, but I think it’s because Eri wanted to.
“Why don’t we have a date like that? And then you can surprise me with a ring.” Eri asks
I laugh and look down at her.
“I don’t think I have the money for all that, but I can do something that’s romantic as that. You can live without the marriage proposal part though, right? I don’t want to get married until a good twenty years later. If you don’t mind.”
She laughs and moves herself so that she’s looking down at me, while still laying on the couch.
“I won’t get angry about the missing ring.” She agrees
I smile at her and place a hand gently on her cheek. I stare into her bright eyes for a while, memorized. She’s so beautiful. I’m so lucky to have a girl like her. She has both good looks and an amazing personality. That’s I love the most about her more than anything. She’s perfect in my eyes. No one can ever change those thoughts about her. My face scrunches up as I’m hit with realization. In order for me to do the romantic thing, this time I have to know something a little more about her. She gives me a worried look.
“Hey, when’s your birthday?” I casually question
She gives me a dumbfound look. “December 23, why?”
“Because that’s when you’ll get your romantic date.” I simply reply
Her eyes light up with excitement.
“Really?! What is it?! What are you going to do? Where will we go?!” She shakes me frantically. “You have to tell me!”
I laugh and shake my head. “I’m not going to tell you. It’s going to be another surprise. You’ll see.”
She pouts and I try my best to not reach up and kiss it.
“When’s your birthday then?”
“Mine?”
She nods, eager to her my answer. She starts fiddling with the collar of my shirt.
“November 11.”
“Eh?! That’s quicker than mine! What am I gonna do when it comes?!”
She’s even cute when she freaks out. I stroke the side of her face to calm her. I know how she wants to play the good girlfriend too and I can’t blame her. With both want this relationship to work.
“You don’t have to celebrate it. I’m fine just having you as my gift.”
“No, I wanna do it. I’ll ask Gaki-san to help me. If I get something I won’t tell you though.”
I laugh and kiss the tip of her nose. She blushes and hides her face into my neck.
“I can’t wait.” I sigh
She picks her head back up. Her eyebrows scrunch together in a little frown. “Oi, you gave me a hickey, you know that?”
I raise a brow at her and try my best to hide my large grin.
“Did I?” She nods “Where?”
“Right here.” She pulls the collar down to her shirt and just above her collarbone is a dark red circle.
I put on this huge grin, no longer able to contain it. I can’t really say sorry because I’m not in the slight way sorry. In fact, I feel proud. It means she’s mine and no one else can have her. Only I can have her. I start to chuckle. She nudges me.
“It isn’t funny. What will I say to my dad?” She tries her best to sound mad
Hmm…she has a point. Well she can always hide it.
“It’ll go away eventually. Besides, you can’t say you don’t like it. That would be a complete lie if you say yes.”
She turns her head to the side and blushes again. I’m right. I know it. Her reaction and face says it all. I put both my hands on her waist and press her body against mine. That gets her attention again. Without warning, she goes down and claims my lips quickly with her own. My right hand moves up to the back of her neck and I kiss her back just as deeply. Her mouth taste like the chocolate she had earlier, but that doesn’t bother me. I like chocolate almost as much as I like the taste of her. I pull at her shirt. She stops kissing me and sits up while still straddling my hips. I want her so bad again. She looks so hot sitting on me like this. I slowly lift up her shirt and shift so I’m in a sitting position too and kiss her flat stomach. She moans and rubs her thumbs over my hands. She draws out a shaky breath and closes her eyes for a second. I place kisses all over her tummy and nip at her hip affectionately. I start to bit and suck at that area only just like I did before on her neck. I’m sure she won’t mind another hickey. Her hands go to my face and she lifts my head up so that I’m looking up at her. Her eyes are so dark with lust and I’m sure I have the same type of glow. I’m so turned on. She leans down and kisses me roughly. It’s hard for me to keep up. She moves and brushes herself in between my legs on accident. I let out a loud moan automatically. She stops kissing me and nuzzles in my neck.
“It’s no fair. I have two hickeys and you have none.” She whispers
She starts biting my neck before I can tell her to do it and I sigh out. I fall back into the couch as she starts to bite into my skin. I don’t know if I can wait for her to be ready when I’m so ready right now.
“Reina, I’m back!”
“WHOA!”
I sit up quickly and sent Eri crashing to the floor. I look at her feeling like even a bigger idiot. I turn back around and sit up properly to face my uncle. He looks at me with this big smile on his face. He must be trying to hold all his laughter in so bad. Gee, couldn’t he have knocked before coming in like that?! He has a hand over his mouth. He’s trying really hard. He might as well let it all out. I’m caught.
“Eri, are you alright?” he chokes out
Eri sits up and rubs the back of her head. She has a large scowl on her face. I cringe. This is the biggest mood killer of all time. I stare down to my hands in guilt.
“I’m ok. I just got a headache.”
I slap my forehead. Stupid uncle! He interrupted again. He’s lucky he’s family and that I love him or else I would have killed him! It goes awkwardly silent. This is by far the worse day of my life! Some just shoot me! Then laughter erupts the room. And it’s from my uncle. Like I expected. I glare at him. He puts up a hand while clutching his side with his free hand.
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to…embarrass you. I guess you were a little too busy to hear my keys and the lock click, huh?”
My face goes crimson red. Eri’s face turns the same shade.
“I won’t ask any questions. Let’s just all pretend…this never happened.” He suggest
Good idea. I nod at him in agreement. He settles down and his laughing stops. He goes back to playing the adult.
“I’ll just be in my room. Did you two eat?”
“Yeah we’re fine. We don’t need you to cook for us!” I snap
So what I’m grouchy. I have a reason to be!
“Ok I’ll see you in the morning. Keep it down I’m trying to sleep.”
He walks away before I can say something back and closes his door. I let out a noisy sigh. I hide my face into my hands and scream into them for a second, and then put them back to my sides.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to shove you off like that. I’m such an idiot.” I wail
She gets up and pats me on the top of my head.
“It’s ok Reina. I probably would have done the same thing.”
We both give out a light chuckle. I reach out for her hand and hold it firmly.
“I think we should lay off on the kissing for the rest of the day.” I offer
“I think so too.”
I get up and still hold her hand.
“Are you going to stay over again?”
“I would like to.”
I let go of her hand.
“I’ll get you a pillow and a blanket.”
I walk down the narrow hall to get to the closet that has extra pillows and blankets.
“I don’t want to sleep by myself. Can’t we sleep in your bed together?” She begs
“Uh…I guess go.” I scratch the back of my head. “Ok.”
She seems pleased and we go to my room to get ready for sleep. That is…if I CAN sleep! Eri lifts up the blanket and quickly goes under the covers. I go in after her and she curls up into my chest. I put the blanket over us both, neatly. Yep…there’s no way I’ll be able to sleep.
“Reina?”
“Hmm?”
“Can I ask you something?”
I look down at her through the dim light from the room window. The sun is setting so it will be dark soon. She seems pretty serious about this question. I better listen to her.
“Yeah sure.”
“What if your parents come back again? Will you still have to go back to Fukuoka?”
I’ve never thought about that and nor do I want to. I ponder about it for a little. These are questions I can’t really answer unless they actually happen.
“I don’t know, but I really don’t want to. I want to stay here with you.”
She smiles. “I want you to stay here with me too. Make sure they don’t try to take you away again ok? Because if you do go…I wouldn’t know what I would do without you.”
“Neither do I.”
Her eyes start to droop and I stroke her black hair a few times as she dozes off. I hold her into my arms and I too start to sleep. No one will take me away from her. I’m staying here and nothing will change that. At least…I hope thing will.
