Here I was, lying on a bed with the girl I'd came to like wrapped up in my arms. I surely was the luckiest bastard around! Fumi might be the most kind, devoted and bright human being I'll ever know. Her soft skin, her expecting eyes and her honest words were enough for me to surrender to my feelings. Now that I was hugging her I couldn't deny how much I'd been yearning for her. She had to be mine. I'd told her I liked her... I still had to show her how much I loved her.

After a few minutes of stroking her back she had finally relaxed, her heartbeat calming down. She was sleeping now. I couln'd figure how she did fall asleep. I was just as excited as a kid on his birthday! I kept looking at her, breathing at her slow pace, falling in love more and more if possible with every inch of her very self.

Brushing through her jaw line made her shudder. I quickly closed my eyes before she regained consciousness.

" Hum... Are... Are you sleeping?"

I did't answer, curious about her next move. Her fingers hesitantly came to my chest. Slowly they went up until they found the nape of my neck. They danced through my hair and came to my face. She was killing me, with nothing but her touch.

Then I felt her lips ligthly brushing against mine.

Bolder than I though!

Before I could think I pulled her to me gripping her by the waist and kissing her deeply. When I opened my eyes she had turned deep red and flinched a little, claiming some space.

What am I exactly doing there?

" I hum... I'm sorry... Come. Let's go home."

She kept staring at me but didn't answer.

" Fumi, let's not spend the night here. I thought I could keep things cool... But... I'm sorry, ok?

- Keep things cool?" she asked genuinely not understanding what I was implying.

" Please Fumi, don't look at me with such astonished eyes. You're making me feel bad here! You never tolerated me sleeping next to you and now you seem like you can't figure what the problem is?"

My hands were still around here waist and I felt her body tense as the words sunk in. I was frightening her. The best I could do right now was probably to let her go and climb down that fucking bed!

I closed my eyes to regain composure but her hand spreading across my face took me by surprise. When I opened my eyes again, there she was, blushing harder than ever but smiling.

" I'm sorry I didn't made myself clear..."

Her voice was so soft I could barely hear her. Her words kept coming to me in a whisper.

"... I DO... understand what you mean by "keeping things cool"... I... I just..."

Right when I thought she couldn't get more embarrassed, she turned a deeper shade of red, taking her hand back and hiding behind her bangs.

" What? What is it Fumi? Are you feeling unwell? We really should head back home!"

As I sat down, I realized how needy I got! How am I supposed to hide this in such pants?!

She got up and quickly gathered her things without looking at me. I'd made her mad once again...

She put those dangerous shoes on and crossed the room in a few deterimined steps. She opened the door and just before exiting, she turned to me, her face serious.

" I'm just sorry that you still feel like you have to "keep things cool"!"

And she disappeared, slamming the door on her way.

What... What the hell was that and where did it come from?! You're sorry I'm trying to keep things under controle? Don't fuck with me little girl!

I rushed out of the room and spotted her waiting for the elevator.

" Oi! Don't you dare get inside without me! I don't even like running so why are you always making me?!"

The doors of the elevator opened and Gorou came out. As always, perfect timing...

" Hey?! Are you guys ok? Fumi-chan, what's with the stern face? And you, what's with the fierce eyes?

- We ARE ok, Gorou, so mind your own business!"

He turned to Fumi still concerned.

" Yes, sensei is right, we are fine. But I'm tired, you see... so... I wanted to ask you if we could go... I mean, I left my bag at your house...

- Fumi-chan, you should probably go home and I'll bring you your things tomorrow. Moreover, I've been drinking. I booked a room here and I was going to bed...

- Oh! I'm sorry... I didn't... I... Ok then. Thank you for everything and see you tomorrow."

The bastard winked at her and turn to me with his smug face. As he came across he took me by the shoulder, bringing my ear to his mouth.

" There is NO escape tonight, so just man up! You'll thank me later..."

What was he talking about? What have they all been drinking tonight? I might be dreaming because nothing made sense.
