Smart, good-looking and wealthy
Irritated. I feel really irritated right now, a though crossed Shinobu's mind.
"Shinobu-chan, do you have a girlfriend?" black haired girl named Naomi was standing in front of him holding her bag in hand. "Well, I would like to be friends with you, so call me anytime you feel like talking to someone."
Before leaving she left him a note with her number written with a red pen on blue paper. Naomi met few her friends in front of the university and left. Shinobu was standing with her number in his fist. Suddenly he heard his cell ringing taking him back to reality. He took it out from the bag and opened it.
"Are your classes finished for today?" he heard the question coming from his lover.
"Yeah, I'm finished", he replied and looked at the number in his hand. "You gonna pick me up?"
"I'll be there in few minutes. Just wait me at the front gate", Miyagi told him and ended the call.
I love you too, Shinobu thought while closing his cell and returning it back to his bag. It's been a while since they started dating but Miyagi never told him that he loves him while talking with him on the phone. He used to tell him that only while they were making love.
Few students passed Shinobu and went they way. Shinobu leaned on the brick wall and look at the Naomi's note again. He wanted them to leave him alone, he didn't want a girlfriend, only one he needed was Miyagi even though he wasn't paying too much attention to him and that started to bother him recently. He felt like something was missing but he didn't know what.
When he heard a car parking nearby he quickly hid the note inside his jacket pocket and turned around. Miyagi was waiting inside the car for him. Shinobu frowned and went to the car, opened the door and sat inside.
Miyagi looked at him. "Something's wrong?" he asked.
Shinobu just turned his look. "No", he answered shortly. "Let's go home."
Without any further questions Miyagi took them home. During the ride neither of them spoke so the atmosphere was pretty awkward. When they came to Miyagi's apartment, Shinobu put his bag on the sofa and sat without a word.
He couldn't get that girl Naomi out of his mind. She was pretty handsome with her long dark hair and green eyes. She was from the rich family and they get to know each other through their parents who were friends. Today she met him at the university and gave him her number with a whish to be his girlfriend, Shinobu knew that but he didn't know that they were going to the same university. That was making everything complicated because he wasn't feeling cold towards her. There was something inside her that was making him feel weird.
"What's wrong with you today? Something happened in school or at home?" Miyagi started asking him after taking a seat near him. "Did I do something?"
Just tell me that you love me, Shinobu thought while he was looking at the floor.
Miyagi leaned to him and took his chin with his fingers, turning Shinobu's face to him. Shinobu's cheeks got blushed a bit but he didn't let Miyagi kiss him, instead he lowered his head and his look. Miyagi put his face in his palms and raised it to his face which looked emotionless. Shinobu was still blushing but his cheeks weren't burning like they used to. Miyagi pressed their lips together and plunged his fingers inside Shinobu's light hair. Kid was acting sluggish and that started to irritate Miyagi who tried to deepen the kiss but kid was refusing to participate and open his mouth.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Miyagi asked him really irritated after taking his fingers out of his hair and parting their lips.
Shinobu stared at him waiting for something, waiting for Miyagi to tell him that he loves him but he didn't do that. Few moments later Shinobu turned, grabbed his bag and got up. Miyagi was looking at him confused while he was leaving the room but then he got up and run to catch him. He caught Shinobu in the hallway and grabbed his wrist. Shinobu turned to him and Miyagi saw tears in the corners of kid's eyes.
"Let go off me!" he exclaimed and wrested his wrist out of Miyagi's squeamish. "I'm going home."
"What did I do now?" Miyagi insisted on the answer following the kid who was going towards the front door. "What do you want me to do? Just tell me! I'm sick of fighting with you just because you don't want to tell me what's bothering you!"
"I'm breaking up with you!" he exclaimed and made Miyagi stop with shock and horror.
Before he had any time to reply, Shinobu left his house slamming the door behind him. Miyagi could barely believe his ears.
What the hell happened just now, he asked himself.
It was raining outside and Shinobu had a long way to the station but he didn't really care. He was running down the streets while tears were sliding down his pale face. Rain was pouring from the clouds making the day get darker. He felt his clothes getting wet and pasting to his body which was shivering from sadness and cold wind which was blowing down the streets. His hair got wet too and he felt dreadful.
When he got home he ran right to his room, locking the door behind him and falling on the bed. He couldn't control tears sliding down his cheeks and trembling of his body.
"Why can't you just tell me that you love me? Because you never really loved me? Because you are just using me and going out with me just to shut me up, out of sympathy? I don't need that! I don't need anything from you! Not now; not ever again!" he was crying and mumbling before he fell asleep overstrained.
The next day Shinobu woke up late. It was Sunday so there was no school. He felt a little dizzy but he wasn't paying too much attention to his condition. He got dressed in casual clothes, leaving his school uniform in the wardrobe. After lunch he took his cell and sent a text message to the Naomi. He felt like turning a new page in his life.
After he sent the message he sat on the bed with restlessness in his heart. He remembered the last night and Miyagi who was trying to make love to him. He felt tears creating in his eyes so he brushed them before they started sliding down his face. Last thing he wanted was to think about that stupid old man. He promised himself that he'll forget him and try to find someone who will really love him and who will tell him that he loves him every single day without making love to him. Naomi was his chance for happiness or that's what he thought.
Suddenly his cell rang and in one second he thought that's Miyagi so he jumped to his cell like he forgot what he promised to himself. But he saw Naomi's number on the screen so he took a deep breath before answering.
"Hey Shinobu", he heard her cheerful voice so he put a little smile on his lips. "I'm so glad that you sent me a message, really. So, are you free today? No learning for university?"
"Actually no", he replied feeling insecure a bit.
"Then why don't you come visit me. My parents aren't home so we will be alone. Maybe we could watch some movie or something", Naomi was explaining eagerly.
"Sounds good. I'll be there in an hour", Shinobu told her and closed his cell.
I'll have to be really careful so that I don't do something I'll regret later, he was thinking while he was leaving the house.
Naomi looked very happy when she saw him on the front porch of her house. She was beautiful as usual, especially now dressed in brown skirt and light blue shirt. Her long hair was full of blue pins holding her hair out of her pretty face.
"Please come in", she told him and grabbed his arm taking him inside the big house.
She took him to the living room and Shinobu followed. House she was living in was so much bigger that his and it was decorated in completely different style. It really looked like a house of a rich family, like a house from American movies. Naomi placed him on the white sofa and she sat on the floor near the big plasma screen and black DVD. She took few discs in hands.
"What do you wanna watch; action, horror, thriller, romance?" she asked.
Shinobu could barely concentrate because suddenly he felt dizzy and sick. Naomi looked at him and saw his pale face so she left the discs on DVD and walked towards him. She leaned him on the sofa and placed her cold palm on his hot forehead. Naomi got out of the living room and came back with a glass of water and pill for cold.
"Take this. You gonna feel better", she told him so he listened to her.
"Thank you", Shinobu told her giving her the glass back.
Naomi placed the glass on the small table and then she helped him to lie down. Shinobu wasn't complaining; he just let her to do with him whatever she wanted. Few minutes later she covered him with a warm blanket. He felt his lids getting heavy so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When he woke up it was sunset. Room was filled with orange light and he needed a minute to remember where he was. Then he saw Naomi sitting in the armchair and reading a book.
"Shinobu-chan, how do you feel?" her voice sounded worried.
"I'm better now, thanks to you", Shinobu told her.
Naomi got blushed. "It's nothing. You know, you were sleeping so peacefully so I didn't want to wake you up. Hope you don't mind", he said leaving the book on the table.
"Nobody did something like that for me", he told her and felt a lump in his throat. Not even Miyagi who was supposed to be my lover.
"I really like you Shinobu-chan", Naomi told him and he felt his heart ached.
"I don't want to go home yet. Why don't we go out somewhere?" Shinobu asked her feeling better than he felt the whole day, feeling better than he used to feel last few weeks.
"Are you sure? You didn't look that good few hours ago", she asked afraid.
"Let's go, Naomi. I'm fine; really", he told her before he got up and grabbed her wrist.
Naomi took him to the disco she used to go to. It was near her house and it was pretty big. They stayed there few hours. Shinobu felt good with her, he managed to forget all his problems and especially the fight with Miyagi. Naomi made him dance and laugh and he felt alive like never before. Going out to disco was something Miyagi could never give to him. They always had to hide but with Naomi everything felt different.
