Hearts full of love – Chapter 1
In the starry night sky walked a beautiful model down the road to reach her destination. She was quite eager to go home because she knew that a certain someone would be waiting for her. This cool and cute diva's name was none other than Ayase Eli; she was wearing a long black coat without any hood, a black scarf wrapped around her neck, black slacks and long brown boots. This blonde haired beauty was quarter Russian but mainly Japanese. When she reached home she tried to open her front door but it suddenly opened on its own from the inside,
"Whoa!" the sudden opening of the door startled Eli.
"Welcome back!" came a voice of the person who opened the door.
She was just as charming as the blonde and she was dressed like she was on a date. Her name was Tojo Nozomi as in 'wish' in English. She was wearing a purple long dress with a cut on the right side which showed her beautiful long leg. Her dress was low cut which it showed her cleavage perfectly.
"N-Nozomi you look adorable!" Eli couldn't help but stare in awe.
"Well, thank you" Nozomi replied smiling.
As Eli walked in she started to remove her coat and Nozomi helped her to do so. She then changed into a short jeans and a long sleeved translucent shirt which showed her inner black wear perfectly, this made the turquoise eyes of a certain purple haired female glitter while she couldn't help it her eyes travelled to the blonde's beautiful long legs then to her waist and then lastly to her lips before saying
"Y-y-you look as beautiful as ever!" while slightly blushing.
The model couldn't help but get excited to the compliment. She than asked while slightly blushing also which went unnoticed by Nozomi as she herself was trying not to stutter or blush.
"Did you finish work? I mean...you were researching and...You are a psychiatrist." Eli said to make the awkwardness go away.
"Yep! I did" Nozomi replied with enthusiasm.
"So, shall we eat? I'm well hungry, ya know! I made spaghetti an'...Salad an' much more" she added while walking inside the kitchen to grab the meal.
Then they both had a seat on the dining table quietly. While eating suddenly Nozomi started gazing Eli intensely.
"(Did Elichi forget what's today?)"
Upon having this kind of thoughts she started to at last finish what she had on her plate. Eli's plate was clean now and so Nozomi also tried to finish hers as quickly as possible.
"Nozomi, can you give me your hand?"
"(What for?)" Nozomi thought to herself.
She gave her hand to the demanding blonde however she was suddenly kissed on her hand once the blond caught hold of it.
"Thanks, babe. The dinner was delicious." As soon as those words went into Nozomi's ear she started to blush heavily and to hide the fact that her face is getting hotter she looked away in the other direction.
"Close your eyes Nozomi." said the model as she removed something from her pocket. The purple haired female obeyed her and closed her eyes. The Blonde went behind Nozomi and placed a necklace on her neck.
"Happy birthday Nozomi!" is all Eli said but it was enough to make Nozomi speechless. She stood up and hugged Eli, she then kept her hands wrapped around her neck and faced her beloved.
"Thank you so much! So, you didn't forget after all...I love you Elichi. Thank you" she said joyfully.
She pulled Eli into a kiss; the model accepted her warmly and placed her hands on her cheeks while tilting her head to deepen the kiss whereas Nozomi placed her hands on her love's hips to pull her closer as they continued to kiss intensely. The environment around them started to heat up as they continued their lip locking process however they failed to notice that someone was watching them.
Sonoda Umi was near the dining room's door trying to go to the kitchen to grab some water but as soon as she saw the pair kissing she felt a sharp needle passing through her heart. Her eyes suddenly started pouring; she hid behind the door crying while covering her mouth. After calming a bit down she went upstairs to her room in which her girlfriend was waiting for her.
"Oh my! You are early." Her girlfriend was surprised on how someone could go downstairs and come up this quickly but decided to not ask anything.
"Yes Kotori...well I can't stay away from you...for l-long you know." Umi seemed tired and not in the mood to talk but replied Minami Kotori so that she wouldn't worry about her because this is the only thing she doesn't like; to make people worry.
Upon realising that Umi seems sad Kotori left her designing sketch book on the bed and wrapped herself around her girlfriend. On the other hand Eli and Nozomi stopped kissing and cleared everything on the table. They also helped each other to wash all the utensils and then came upstairs to their room which was next to Umi and Kotori's.
Nozomi entered the room and Eli was right behind her. Nozomi sat on the bed and Eli closed the door behind her while biting her lower lip and giving her sexiest look to the older female. She removed her shirt's buttons and started walking towards the psychiatrist
"Why are you so beautiful and adorable?" Eli couldn't help but stare at Nozomi with hungry eyes "I want you."
"No...You are the beautiful one E-Ericchi" Nozomi started blushing. She knew Eli can be bold but this was too much for her to handle.
Eli kept walking towards her, her bangs now covering her eyes and she pushed Nozomi on the bed forcefully. Nozomi started blushing furiously. They again lip locked but this time Eli seemed a bit aggressive like she was trying to remove her anger and she didn't want to do this.
Eli's hand started trailing itself from Nozomi's cheek to her neck and it stopped on her chest. Eli stopped there and started feeling the other female's heartbeat. Suddenly, Eli pulled herself off of Nozomi upon realising that she wasn't the one she wanted to touch. She continuously started thinking about Umi who seemed quite distant to her.
"I-I-I am s-sorry...um...for being forceful, you seem tired and well...I am too a bit tired. Let's just go to bed" Eli said in a lonely and upset tone.
"Sure?" replied Nozomi confusingly.
They both went to bed and so did Umi and Kotori who were next door.
Next morning- in their residence
The morning light shone bright on to Kotori who was sleeping peacefully while hugging Umi closely. She woke up and realised that today is her day to cook breakfast so she looked the time in her phone and started to get up.
As Kotori got out of bed she noticed that Umi was looking very cute while sleeping so she kissed her cheek lovingly before going to the bathroom to get ready then going downstairs. The cooking fragrance spread itself quickly as she started cooking, this woke Nozomi up. She woke up finding Eli a bit further then where she usually sleeps. However she didn't let it bother her and went to the bathroom to get ready.
Kotori heard footsteps and saw that Nozomi was coming downstairs all ready to leave for work. Kotori figured it out that Nozomi seems a bit sad but when she asked what was wrong the psychiatrist denied everything and changed the topic.
Umi came out from the bedroom too when she failed to find Kotori besides her, at the same time Eli came out and was feeling guilty about yesterday so she was trying to find her Nozomi to apologise.
"Um...good...m-morning Ayase-san." Umi couldn't look Eli in the eye and so decided to watch the floor.
"WHAT!?" Eli shouted she was so surprised on the fact that Umi decided to call her by her surname.
"What's wrong with you Umi, I am Eli for you. Please don't become a stranger after all the things we have been through!" she added.
"What do you EXPECT then? Why should I call you by your name?" Umi asked as she gathered the courage to look Eli in her eyes but as she looked up her control shattered, she started to have tears fall from her eyes.
"No-No d-don't cry Umi. You know that I can't see you cry." Eli didn't know what to do she tried to hold Umi's hand but Umi pulled her wrist away from her, wiped her tears and ran downstairs.
"Why? Am I the wrong one here? Is my feeling and thoughts are to be blamed for this situation?" Eli whispered to herself while holding the hand which tried to grab Umi's wrist close to her heart before coming downstairs.
When Eli came to the dining table Kotori and Nozomi were asking Umi if she and Eli were ok because they heard Eli shout.
"Yes, don't worry about us. I apologise Nozomi it was my fault Eli shouted" Umi didn't know what she had done wrong but she felt that she had to apologise.
"Guess what! You need to be punished then." Nozomi started to grin and got onto position.
"w-what me? N-no it wasn't a big deal, I promise." Umi wasn't in the mood for this she didn't want Nozomi's shameless but brutal attack.
"Huh? What'cha talking 'bout? I'm gonna punish ya because you're being too formal...hehe." Nozomi then decided it was enough for today and sat down giggling alongside Kotori.
"Not you too Kotori!" Umi knows that Kotori never takes her side but why does she even try to get Kotori on her side? She doesn't have an answer yet.
Eli entered and hugged Nozomi from behind while stealing glances from Umi.
"Good morning." Eli started smiling and after all what happened upstairs Umi showed her suspicious look and decided that she will take care of it later.
"Good morning Kotori" she continued.
"Oh, good morning Eli-Chan."
"Good morning Ericchi, have a seat. Today Kotori made us breakfast" Nozomi started to smile herself upon seeing her blonde this happy.
Eli, Umi and Kotori took their seats and started eating. After finishing eating and praising Kotori's handmade food while chatting loads Nozomi and Kotori said together
"Well, we are off to work now."
"I have this day off." Umi smiled at the thought of being home alone and relaxing.
"Well so do I" Eli added. Umi's happiness shattered and realised this is why Eli was smiling in the morning, she heavily sighed.
"But we don't sadly anyway I have to go and do my job as a psychiatrist."
"Yes, I still have to finish my clothing's design for my models." Kotori looked at Nozomi in hopes of getting a ride to work, Nozomi smiled at her to show that she understands and will give her a ride to work.
"You two play nice and I and Kotori will come back as soon as we finish work." Nozomi had a feeling inside that something is going to happen in her absence, her spiritual power told her so but she decided to not think about that and go to work. She gave the biggest smile she could and turned around.
"We will miss you two...be back soon." Eli said as she started eating her breakfast and Umi nodded, showing the signs of agreement with what Eli said.
"Take care of yourself Umi-Chan please I will be back soon as possible." Kotori couldn't help but worry about Umi as she looked depressed but she knew that when time comes Umi will tell her everything and that she can't force things out of her.
"I will and have a nice day I will see you later" Umi replied with a smile and then finished her last bite of the delicious food.
Upon listening Umi's reply Kotori couldn't help but go kiss her forehead however seeing this made Eli's heart ache and to not show that she clenched her fist and smiled.
"Well if the lovey dovey stuff is done can we go now Kotori-Chan it's getting late?" Nozomi wanted to tease them till her heart's content but since Umi seemed unwell and it was actually getting late "(there is always another day)"she thought to herself.
They left after that and Eli and Umi were the only two who were in the house.
"So, day off huh?" Eli looked like she was turning into a seductive and manipulative person to get her way but she was also showing a hint of anger.
"W-well that's none of your concern." Umi tried to act as normal as possible but with Eli with a dark aura on loose she couldn't help but stutter "(I wonder what's wrong she is acting like...that day)" Umi's eyes opened wide in hesitation, she wanted to say something but the words wouldn't come out.
She hurriedly tried to get up and run off but was caught off guard as she tripped because of the pulled carpet. Eli caught hold of her but couldn't support each other's weight and fell over her. Eli started to look into Umi's eyes still having their faces too close that they could even feel each other's breathing. Umi was holding onto Eli however upon realising her mistake she pushed her off. When she got up she was blushing madly and fidgeting a little.
"I am sorry for my clumsiness." Umi knew that it was her fault that they fell no matter how much angry or frustrated she might be with Eli it will be impolite to say nothing, her family taught her to be polite at all times.
"No I love it." Eli always loved to tease Umi and now was nothing different.
"Jeez...mean as ever I see. You have not changed Ayase...I mean Eli." No matter how much Umi tries she can never win not with Kotori and never with Eli she sometimes feels like she is spoiling them but she also loves to see their other side so doesn't really matter does it?
"Wow, look whose is calling me by my first name." Eli still didn't seem to get why Umi was calling her by her surname and she didn't want to beat around the bush so she decided to be direct.
"Didn't I always call you that?" Umi wasn't in the mood to answer she wanted to end the conversation as quick as possible.
Eli didn't say anything after that. She just took Umi's hand and took her in the living room to settle down on the sofa.
"It's our day off...we should relax." Eli wanted Umi to relax as much as possible so she turned on the T.V. Umi nodded as she in fact needed to relax and snatched the remote. She started to scroll down the channel; Eli couldn't help but get amazed on seeing Umi like this.
"Look whose mean now." Eli couldn't hold up her overwhelming feelings as Umi was acting adorable right now but she couldn't do anything because Umi wasn't her girlfriend anymore. "(Why?!)" all Eli could do was mourn at her loss.
Umi just laughed it off and put up news but due to Eli's cute pout she changed it to the music channel. Eli got really happy because of Umi's considerate behaviour and hugged her. Umi just looked in the other direction blushing slightly. Suddenly 'Storm in lover' started to play and they remembered their past. They really loved that song and the memory they made together while making that song.
They suddenly got emotional and started to get close to each other to find warmth. Their face was now really close with eyes closed and the stance showing that they were about to kiss. However when Umi placed her knee in between Eli's legs to get comfortable her knee pressed the remote by mistake. The channel now changed and showed a debate if 'Anemone heart' is better or 'Garasu no hanazono' is better. Eli and Umi broke their position and sat back up realising that they have girlfriends who went to work and who trusts them that they won't betray their relationship.
"I hate you Umi!" Eli got so upset that she couldn't hold all the pain inside and busted out in tears. She was usually the one who doesn't like to show her weak side but in front of Umi it might be...different.
"I know" Umi replied calmly. After seeing Eli's break down Umi didn't know how to react but the only thing she knew was she had to be strong as she couldn't see Eli cry "(STOP! Don't cry please don't)"Umi thought internally but how was the question. How can she touch her EX girlfriend if she is already committed to someone else?
Eli started to hit Umi's shoulder but then stopped and continued to cry her heart out her fist was still on Umi's shoulder. Umi's eyes were about to drip but she wiped it off, Eli's tears were more precious for her than her own. She took the blond in her arms and hugged her closely ignoring all the negative thoughts and only thinking about calming Eli down.
"Are you alright?" Umi didn't know what was best to say in a situation like this and so this was the best she could do...for now. Eli didn't say anything she just nodded.
"I hate you too you know, you left me hanging!" Umi didn't want to take the matter further but she wanted Eli to know that she was also hurt.
"But after you did...geez...why did you leave me anyways? I still love you" Eli knew what she is saying was something she might regret or it can help her to gain Umi back so she decided to risk it because if she has a chance to revive her relationship with Umi she wouldn't mind hurting others.
"I love you too" Umi wanted to tell the truth to Eli and to herself because she has been lying to herself for a long time "(I thought I would find happiness with Kotori, guess I was wrong)" she knew all along that Eli was her love, is her love and will always be her love and so she wanted to correct her mistakes and show Eli how much she cares about her.
"But wait...if you still love me then why you did you tell...no force me spend the night with Nozomi last night. Hang on, are you nuts?" Eli got extremely confused on why Umi wanted her and Nozomi to make love because any NORMAL person wouldn't want anyone near their loved ones but guess what her babe was the only unique one who would say that.
"No, I am not nuts and didn't you see I was crying when you kissed her?" Umi questioned her. How dare she think that Umi can't get possessive? Does she seriously think that Umi won't get upset if she spends time with Nozomi?
"Umi babe, I didn't kiss her she-"
"Oh yeah! Sorry my mistake" Umi interrupted because she couldn't handle being reminded about that kiss. She wanted to get the topic out of the way.
"STOP interrupting! Jeez!" Eli said while pouting and Umi nodded to show that she can continue.
"You still didn't answer why did you want me and Nozomi to do it if you still love me why did you cry and WHY THE HELL DID YOU CALL ME BY MY SURNAME THIS MORNING?!" Eli unknowingly clenched Umi's hoodie tightly. Umi got the hint that Eli is getting angry so she caught Eli's fist and gave it a little squeeze to calm her down. She started to look in her eyes with a serious face and replied,
"I didn't want you to not give Nozomi what she deserves because of me and I called you by your surname to show that I was angry!"
"And why did my DARLING cry?" Eli said while emphasising 'darling'. She was mad alright, Umi wished she had chocolate but she didn't so she sighed heavily however something struck her. She started to blush and remembered that Eli called her 'darling' just now and to avoid being seen she looked away. Eli noticed that and put her other hand's palm on Umi's cheek because she knew that this was the only way to calm her down. Umi started to look in her eyes again and said
"I was crying because...the thought of you kissing another girl made my heart ache and being jealous of Nozomi seemed incorrect." Umi always avoided causing others any inconveniences and if it means to sacrifice her own happiness to do so she always came forward.
"I didn't do anything with Nozomi...well I tried to because you told me but after remembering you when I felt her heart beat it seemed like I was doing something wrong. I knew you would get hurt and so will Nozomi when she finds out I did that to her even though I don't love her. But the absolute truth is I didn't want to do it with her because she is not...you" Eli said as she started to blush as soon as she realised how embarrassing her words sounded.
Umi was speechless she just hugged Eli and whispered
"I still love you Eli, I did in the past and will do in the future too...promise"
"I love you too Umi very much." Eli knew that Umi is breaking all the barriers for her and she appreciated it.
They looked into each other's eyes and then started to get closer and closer. Umi held Eli tighter around her waist and Eli clenched her love's hoodie tightly. Both of them were now really close but they didn't hesitate and continued to get closer. Umi closed her eyes and so did Eli. She then tilted her head a bit to get comfortable with the position but when both of them were about to reach their destination just centimetres apart, the front door opened with a 'BANG'.
Both of them jumped out of their position and ran to the front door, they saw two young ladies in front with a big pink suitcase and smiles on their face however Umi and Eli were just so shocked they watched them with surprised eyes without reacting.
