CHAPTER 54
“Make yourself at home. There's plenty of food in the refrigerator and drinks.” Risa explains, giving me a brief run through on the house. “I'm sure you remember where the bathroom is.”
“Would you like something to eat?” Ai questions, from the kitchen.
“Soda would be good.” I reply.
She goes back into the kitchen to grab my drink. I face back to Risa who has on the same worried expression she had when she was at Eri's house.
“I'm fine, honestly.” I tell her. “I mean as long as Eri is fine than I should be too you know?”
That soothes her just a little.
“How was she when you left her?”
“She was fine. She wanted me to leave, saying that I needed to rest or whatever. I kinda wish I didn't come home, because I ended up walking in on my uncle and his new found girlfriend, kissing.” I grumble, then shiver at the thought.
Risa lets out a small laugh. “So you decided to come here to forget it?”
“That and Eri wouldn't allow me to come back into her house. At least not for today.”
Risa smiles and walks over to the living room. “Well since you're here let's watch some movies. I have a bunch of new dramas.”
She goes over to the rack that's filled with countless DVDs. She runs her hand through the spin of the DVD case while carefully yet quickly reading through the titles.
“You keep your stuff here?” I state.
“Here's your soda.” Ai announces.
“You two should just live together. I mean, Risa already makes herself at home, obviously. Does she have her own clothes here too? Her own food?”
Ai shifts, looks to the floor and faces me with a sheepish smile.
“She has her own food here too?!” I yell.
“Well, sometimes she doesn't like the food we have for dinner. So I figured it would be easier for her to just bring whatever she likes here in case she gets hungry.” Ai explains.
I fold my arms and chuckle. “As if you guys would eat something like food when you're both here alone.” I reply.
Ai's face goes red. I grin. Yeah, they were having sex before I called. I knew it! I hope it was in Ai's room and not the guest room! I am SO not sleeping there! They would have to clean that bed with bleach first before I decide to lay on it!
“You two cleaned up when you were done, right?!” I squeak. “Please tell me you cleaned the sheets! I'm not going to sleep on a bed that has-”
“You'll be sleeping in the living room, Tanakacchi!” Risa interrupts. “There's a pull out bed in the couch. The guest room is currently being remodeled.”
Her face is just as red as Ai's. Ok, I've just made everything awkward. I look between them and decided to look at my own feet. That's much better. That way I don't have to be shunned by these two.
“So...let's watch the drama?” Ai interrupts.
“Yeah good idea.” I agree.
We walk over to the couch and Risa puts in the CD to the DVD player. She sits next to Ai, cuddling up to her and Ai presses play on the remote. Seeing them like this makes me think back to Eri again and I start to miss her all over again, worrying if she's ok without me for today. She should be fine. I mean she has her dad and brother there to help her when she needs to get around. Coming here was probably a bad idea. They could at least be less couple-y with me around. I sit further into the couch, sulking. Risa shuts off the light and goes back to leaning against Ai as the drama begins to play.

How can they make me sleep on this thing all night? It's so uncomfortable. Don't they know how to treat a guest around here?! I hate this bed. Maybe I should have slept on the floor? It is not comfortable at all. No matter where I move I can't find a good spot to sleep in. What is wrong with this bed?! I kick the blanket to the floor and sit up in bed, fed up with turning endlessly. I run my hand through my hair and exhale, upset.
“How can I sleep in a bed like this?” I whisper.
I get out of bed, using my hands to get around, blindly through the dark. I might as well go to the bathroom. I make my way out of the living room and to the stairs, safely. When did this place become so creepy at night? I just want to get to the bathroom and go back to my comfortable bed. I reach the top and continue my walk down the hall. Wait a minute...what's that sound? I stop and turn to my left. My eyes open wide, staring at the door through the dark. Is that coming from Ai's room?! I can hear moaning and heavy breathing through the closed door. The bed is rocking and lightly, bumping against the wall. Holy...these two can't keep their hands off each other can they?! Were they waiting for this the whole time I was here?! No wonder Ai kept looking at Risa. That explains her creepy stare. It was like she wanted to do something naughty with her. It makes sense now. Ahh the horrible thoughts coming to my mind! I should have not asked to sleep here! Well...uh...at least they waited until I was in bed.
“Ai-chan!”
My eyes open wider. What exactly are they doing in there? I don't wanna know. I don't even wanna know! The bed stops moving and the moaning is gone. That brings a huge relief to me, but wait...what if they stopped because they heard me?! I'm not going to stay here to find out. I make a dash for the stairs and straight into my bed again. I don't have to go to the bathroom anymore and I don't want to go back there either! I pull the blanket over me and lay on my side. I close my eyes, forcing myself to sleep and forget what I just heard. All these horrible images! These awful sounds! They're all stuck in my head now! I close my eyes tighter, gripping the sheets. I'm going to have an even harder time sleeping tonight. I should have just stayed here in my damn bed!

“Gaki-san, be careful you don't burn anything!” Ai complains.
“I've got it Ai-chan relax. Have you had your tea yet?” Risa questions back.
These two are fighting this early in the morning? And while I'm not even a foot away from the kitchen? These two want to ruin my morning too besides my sleep? At least try to whisper. The clattering of pots and clinging plates makes it harder for me to get back into a peaceful slumber. I don't know how I managed to sleep, but I did and now they're ruining it for me. Do they NOT see me sleeping in the living room?! Don't they know how to whisper? I roll on to my back and stare at the ceiling in a daze, trying to gather my thoughts together. I barely got any sleep. I yawn and rub my eyes then let out a heavy sigh. I sit up in bed and turn to the noisy couple.
“Don't you two know how to be quiet!? I was trying to sleep here!” I yell.
I glare at them from my bed then stand up, walking towards the kitchen. I might as well eat since Risa's cooking.
“I'm sorry, Ai's cranky in the mornings if she doesn't get enough sleep.” Risa apologizes. “I told her to drink coffee instead of tea so she wouldn't be this much of a hassle.”
“You know I don't like coffee.” Ai shoots back.
Would they just STOP talking?! I sit on to the kitchen table with a scowl still in place. I can imagine WHY Ai didn't get enough sleep last night, because they were both screwing each other like little rabbits! They were noisy too! I'm NEVER going to spend the night here ever again. Risa sets down a plate of pancakes in front of me. This brightens my mood and I take a fork cutting into my first pancake. Risa also hands Ai a plate then settles next to Ai to eat also. This stuff isn't so bad. It's pretty good. Who knew Risa was such a good cook.
“How did you sleep?” Risa questions, into the silence.
“Alright.” I reply, taking another forkful of pancakes. “Could have slept better if you both weren't so loud.”
“We're really sorry about that.” Risa apologizes.
I don't think I won't even mention me hearing them go at it late at night in Ai's room. I don't want to embarrass them. But then again I didn't ask to be scarred either! I also won't tell them that.
“Are you going to visit Eri today?” Risa ask.
“After I go home to change, yes.” I reply.
“Let us know how she's doing when you get there.”
“I will.” I finish the last of my food and head towards the sink with my empty plate. “Thank you for letting me spend the night and for the food it was good.”
“Are you going to leave now?” Ai finally spoke.
I nod. “It might take me a while to get ready. So I'll need to leave now.”
I walk passed Risa and pat Ai on the back on my way out. She shifts in her seat and cringes. What's up with her? Wait...on second thought...I REALLY don't want to know! As I step out of the kitchen I catch the mumbled words Ai says directed to Risa.
“From now on...we're clipping your nails.”
Ok...WHAT?! I wish I didn't hear that! Why did I have to listen to that?! I'm leaving, now! I have GOT to get out of here! Geez, these two are unbelievable. Who KNOWS what they do to each other when they get a moment to themselves. I walk faster towards the exit and zip right out the door in a second. I'm so glad I'm going to see Eri soon. I can feel a lot more at ease. I miss her. Being away from her for just a day was tough on me. I was worried about her. At least when I go to see her I'll know that she's doing fine and I panicked over nothing. I feel myself start to smile as I walk along the side walk. I can't wait to see her. Let's just hope this time when I get home my uncle doesn't have company over.
