{Normal POV}
{Saturday September 2, 2018} {4:00 PM}
Trinity groaned, as she allowed the stylist massage her feet. "I don't want to go to work on Monday."
"You act like being a teacher is a bad thing." Aelita smiled, and she was also receiving a foot massage. Recently, the girls decided that every Saturday afternoon they would go out into town with each other for a relaxing day. Today was the day they choose to get their nails feet, and hair done at the salon.
"I mean, don't get me wrong it's not a bad thing, it's just tiring sometimes." Trinity placed her foot in the warm water, as the foot massager massaged her other foot.
"What job isn't tiring sometimes?" Yumi chuckled, as she was also getting her feet done, and read through a woman's magazine.
Selena looked over at all her friends. "I know your job is tiring." Selena pointed at Yumi. "You have to work late shifts sometimes at the hospital, and take care of people and stuff like that." Selena then turned her eyes towards Aelita. "Your can be tiring too, coming up with the latest and greatest technology." Selena looked at Trinity. "You, that is tiring working with a class of kids for seven hours, along with coming up with lesson plans."
"Well what about you, huh." Yumi looked over at Selena, and slightly smiled. "You're the one building houses all day long, but on top of that you're about to change your job from being an architect slash interior designer to an airplane pilot, talk about late shifts."
Selena chuckled, and rolled her eyes playfully. "Yeah, well we have to get the money from someone and trust me I love building homes and stuff, but like I said years ago, it's merely community service."
"I believe it is not community service if you get paid for it." Aelita replied.
Selena looked over at Aelita, then back at her cooking magazine she was reading. "It just didn't pay enough really, but enough about jobs and junk, how has life been since all the drama and health issues been happening?"
Trinity let out a deep sigh. "Um, Odd and I are going to start going to a marriage counselor to help us trust each other more and stuff like that."
"Why, you never really told us what happened between you and Odd." Selena recalled.
"Um, it's a long story." Trinity pointed out the color she wanted on her big toe to the stylist.
"Well, our feet aren't even half way done, we have a lot of time." Yumi closed her magazine and looked over at her dirty blonde haired friend.
"You all are going to hate me when I say it though, but here goes nothing." Trinity looked down at her lap, and then over at her friends. "You guys remember that huge fight Odd and I got into before we got married, and I got into a situation with Hunter?" The three friends nodded their head, and urged her to go on. "After that happened with Hunter, I missed my period, and then I found out that I was pregnant, with Hunter's baby. Next things I know, I..I aborted the baby…" Trinity sighed sadly, and all her friends looked at her in pure shock. "So, yeah you can imagine Odd blew up in my face, and stuff…"
"Wow, um, well…we can't be mad at you, I guess it had something to do with your EBSD?" Selena asked.
"No actually, it wasn't. We weren't ready for a baby, and we were dealing with the wedding planning, it just would have added more stress on our shoulders. But, I don't want to talk about it anymore." Trinity ended the subject. "How are you holding up Yumi with your hyperthyroidism?"
"I'm doing better than I was the past couple of weeks. I had to cut my hair cause of all the split ends." Yumi ran her fingers through her hair that now stopped at her shoulders. "But other than that, my health is up to date, no problems so far."
"How is your mom doing, and Ulrich with the loss of his parents?" Aelita asked.
"Uh, my mom is doing okay I guess. I think she decided to go through with a mastectomy, but I keep urging her to go through with Chemo, but I can't control what she wants to do. Overall she'll live." Yumi sighed. "As for Ulrich, he's still grieving. He has his ups and downs, but lately him and we haven't really sat down and talked at all."
"What do you mean by that?" Selena asked.
"I mean, we haven't really had any deep conversation about anything. If anything it seems like he's been distant a little bit. I mean, yes I understand he lost his parents and everything, but to not talk to me when you're feeling down or anything questions me." Yumi explained.
"Well, have you two made love at since that happened?" Trinity asked.
"Wow, blunt question there, but no not really." Yumi answered, and ran her hands up and down her face.
"When is the last time you two…" Aelita asked.
"Why is everyone always so worried about my sex life?" Yumi slightly laughed, but was also serious. "We haven't done anything since he found out his parents passed away."
Aelita thought for a moment before speaking. "It sounds like he just needs comforting."
"I tried that Aelita, but nothing is like working." Yumi responded.
"No I mean truly sit down and comfort him. Look we all know how Ulrich is, quiet, reserved, doesn't like to talk his feelings, and sulks. Girl, you have to comfort him without giving up so easily. That was the problem with you two before you started a relationship, both of you don't make the first move." Yumi sighed, but knew it was true. "What I'm trying to say is, don't give up and comfort him. Close in on his personal space, if and when he talks listen to him. Um, don't say that cliché line it'll be alright, just touch him, kiss him, whatever."
"Yeah, you're right." Yumi said.
"Wow Aelita, and why aren't you a psychologist?" Trinity smiled.
Aelita returned the smile. "I never really thought about it actually."
"Well, you should think about it, think about the many people out there you could help." Selena popped her gum.
"Maybe I will." Aelita smiled.
{Meanwhile with the guys}
For their Sunday afternoon, the guys decided to go to the local pub to play some pool. Ulrich and Odd were on a team, while Jeremie and Tristan were on a team. Odd placed all the balls into the triangle to set up the game.
"Who wants to break first?" Odd asked, looking at all his friends.
"Doesn't matter, we'll break first." Tristan shrugged, and took his place at the end of the pool table, directly across where the balls were set up. When Tristan hit the balls, not one of them fell into one of the six pockets.
"So, what's been happening in the past couple weeks guys since we last met up?" Odd asked, as he tried to knock one of the balls into the pocket. He did, which meant he and Ulrich were solids, and Tristan and Jeremie were stripes. Odd then proceeded to knock in another ball, which went unsuccessful.
"Not much, I mean except the usual go to work and go home." Jeremie replied, before knocking in one of the striped balls. "Oh, except I found out that CJ is allergic to peanuts."
"Really? Did you had an epi-pen on you?" Tristan asked.
"Yeah, it was Aelita's though, because she's allergic to something I forgot."
Ulrich slightly chuckled. "Way to forget what your wife is allergic to."
Jeremie failed to knock in another striped ball and he shrugged. "It'll come back to me eventually, I just can't remember."
"Someone's brain is getting old." Odd grinned, as Ulrich proceeded to knock in one of the solid balls, which he did. "What about you, what's happening in your world Tristan?" Odd asked, as Ulrich knocked in another solid ball.
"Uh, not much really. I've been getting hassled on my survival story a lot. I'm still trying to cope with the fact Selena wants to be a pilot." Tristan spoke, as he took his turn to hit the balls after Ulrich was done.
"Yeah, I think all of us were surprised at that." Jeremie spoke.
"I mean, if it is what she loves to do then I cannot stop her. I'll just have to support her you know." Tristan responded.
"Personally I think that being a pilot is cool, maybe you'll get free traveling Tristan." Odd smiled. "What about you Ulrich, how's things been going for you."
Ulrich looked over at his friends, and then down at his feet. "Good, I guess."
"Uh oh, we know that look what's going on?" Odd asked, as he proceeded to hit in one of the solid balls.
Ulrich sighed. "Really it's nothing, I just have a lot on my mind."
"Did you and Yumi get into a fight?" Jeremie asked.
"Well, no not really it's just that I'm...thinking about switching my career choice."
"Really to what?" Tristan asked curiously.
"I'm thinking about maybe, trying out to play soccer." Ulrich answered, and ran his fingers through his hair.
"That's awesome dude, you'll be famous and crap like that. Is that why you've been training so hard at the gym these past few weeks?" Odd asked, and Ulrich nodded his head. "You should do it, we all know your love for soccer."
"That's the thing, I am going to it's just I don't know how to tell Yumi it…" Ulrich softly kicked the pool table.
"Dude, you got to stop being afraid to tell Yumi things, she's your wife. Knowing Yumi she'll support you whichever way you go." Tristan responded, as Jeremie and Odd nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, you're right." Ulrich shrugged, and then turned his attention to his surroundings. When he did he noticed that Odd's rival was sitting at the bar, and noticed that he was looking over their way. Ulrich looked over at Odd, and sat down his pool stick. "You guys feel like leaving, I feel like leaving."
"Why we haven't even finished playing our game yet?" Odd held out his arms in confusion.
"Maybe because he wants you to stay out of trouble." Hunter smirked, and walked up to the pool table. Odd looked over at the voice that was talking to him, and gave him a scornful look.
"What do you want?" Odd slammed his pool stick on the table, and turned his full attention towards Hunter.
Hunter kept on a sly smirk. "I can't come over to have a simple conversation."
"No." Tristan said under his breath. After the stories he heard about Hunter, he had no respect for the guy that hurt his sister.
Hunter turned his attention towards Tristan. "The twin that supposedly died, good to see you." Tristan rolled his eyes, and took a deep breath to keep his composure.
"So, how's that so called relation-show going with Trinity?" Hunter turned his attention back towards Odd.
"That is none of your damn business, Hunter." Odd stood his ground and looked down at Hunter who was two inches shorter than him.
Hunter chuckled, and then looked at Odd right in the eyes. "Well, just remember who she comes to when she doesn't get any pleasure from you…"
"You know what, I'm about getting sick and tired of your smart ass getting up in my relationship. Didn't your stupid self-learn back in high school? Wait, no you didn't, so now, you're really about to learn your lesson." Odd balled up his fists, and stood eye to eye with Hunter. Ulrich and Jeremie then backed Odd away from Hunter, because of the scene they were causing, and knew that security was bound to kick all of them out.
"Odd, not here, not now." Ulrich said, as he backed Odd away from Hunter. "Let's just leave." Ulrich dragged out of the pub, along with Jeremie, Tristan behind him.
"You can't stoop down to his level Odd, you know that." Jeremie spoke.
Odd rolled his eyes. "Easy for you to say, you don't have anybody trying to break up you and Aelita."
Jeremie nodded his head. "Wow, thanks for the comment Odd."
"Look, sorry, I'm just pissed off, he keeps getting under my skin." Odd looked back at the pub, and saw that Hunter smirked at him before walking back towards the bar.
"Don't allow him to then, just avoid him. You know Trinity is your wife, and she isn't leaving you for that piece of crap." Ulrich pointed towards Hunter.
"Wow, way to talk about yourself Ulrich." A masculine voice clapped behind Odd. Ulrich looked at who offended him, and Ulrich immediately felt his blood begin to boil. It was Suzume. (A/N So, stick with me here, and yes, I told you all the drama will more intense in this story other than the people trying to destroy their lives, the group will also deal with regular adult things.)
"What the hell are you doing here, and out of jail?" Ulrich scolded.
Suzume smiled. "I was let free, thanks to a family friend, they bailed me out." Ulrich bit his lip, and rolled his eyes trying to keep his composure. "So, tell me how your parents are doing."
That was all that needed to be said before Ulrich was getting ready to knock Suzume's light out. But, all of his friends held him back. "Let me go!" Ulrich yelled.
"No you can't fight here, not now." Jeremie responded, holding onto Ulrich arm.
"I don't care let me go!" Ulrich yelled once again, trying to pull himself away from his three friends. But with the three of them holding him break, there was no way he could break free.
"No if you shrink down to his level, you will get arrested." Odd informed Ulrich.
Ulrich still tried to break free from his friends grip. "Like I said I don't care, let me go!"
Suzume laughed. "No, let him come at me. That way when he gets arrested for assault, I can have his pretty wife all to myself, cause she's going to need a real loving too." Suzume smirked. "If you know what I mean."
Ulrich eyes went wide, and were now full of rage, hatred, fire, all his emotions were mixing up right now. Ulrich looked back at his friends. "Did you hear what he said, let me go!"
"No!" His three friends tried their hardest to hold Ulrich back. Ulrich took a deep sigh, and slowly calmed his anger down.
"Fine, just let me go." Ulrich stated. "I'm going home, I don't have time to deal with this nonsense." His three friends hesitated to their angry friend go, but they did. "I'll see you guys later." Ulrich gestured towards his friends, and giving Suzume an annoyed look. He then walked towards his car, and after he started his car he drove off to go home.
"I suggest you leave." Odd gestured toward Suzume.
"Why, it's a public place, isn't it?" Suzume fired back.
Tristan nodded his head. "Whatever we'll leave, come on guys, let's go home." Jeremie and Odd nodded in agreement, went into their own individual cars, and went home for the rest of the day.
{Ulrich's POV}
"I can't believe that asshole said those things to me. I can't believe he's out of jail." I said to myself. Luckily, I was only ten minutes away from home and I didn't have to drive very far with all these emotions built up inside of me. When I pulled up into the driveway I noticed that Yumi's car wasn't here, meaning she was either still out, or her car was parked in the garage.
I got out of my car, and slammed the door behind me. Obviously, I will still pissed at the encounter I had with Suzume. I locked the car behind me and walked up to the front door of the house. Once I unlocked the door, I hung my keys up on the key rack and walked further into the house.
"Hey." Yumi smiled over towards me.
I returned the smile, and walked over towards her. "Hey Yumes, your hair looks nice." I pulled her into an embrace, and kissed her cheek.
"Thank you, how was your day out with the guys?" She kept her arms wrapped around me, as I did I.
"Could be better." I shrugged, not really wanting to go into detail about the situation that I just encountered.
Yumi gave me a confused face. "What happened?"
I slowly let go of her, and then shoved my hands in my pocket. "Nothing, I don't really want to talk about it."
"Ulrich…" Yumi looked up at me.
"I'm just going to go change into some comfortable clothes." I interrupted her not to be rude or anything, it's just I didn't want to talk about my issues right now.
Yumi sighed. "Okay." I nodded my head, and then went upstairs to my room. When I did I went into my closet and changed into a comfortable dark green t-shirt, along with black sweatpants. I then went back downstairs, and accompanied Yumi in the kitchen. When I did I noticed that Yumi was very quiet as she began to prepare dinner.
"Are you okay Yumi?" I asked, as I sat on a barstool at the kitchen island. Yumi walked over to the sink that was attached to the island, and rinsed off the chicken.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It's just I'm worried about you." Yumi looked up at me.
"But, I'm…everything is good with me." I lied, actually there's just a lot on my mind right now. I just didn't want to overbear my problems on Yumi. "Where's Kammi?" I asked, trying to change the subject.
Yumi looked right through me though. "My mom is on the way now to drop her off. But see every time I ask you what's wrong, you change the subject on me."
I sighed. "It's just I don't really want to talk about it right now."
"I understand that, it's just I want you to know that I'm all ears whenever you want to talk, because we haven't had any deep conversations since we were in Germany." Yumi explained, and grabbed some seasoning from the pantry.
I sighed, knowing that she was telling the truth. "I don't know, it's just a lot on my shoulders right now I just don't really want to talk about it."
"If you don't talk to me, who are you going to talk to about everything you are dealing with?" Yumi asked, while seasoning the food. "Can I tell you something, and promise you won't be upset." I looked at Yumi with confused eyes, before nodded my head. Yumi put the chicken in the pan, and set it on the oven to allow it to cook. She then washed her hands, and sat next to me.
"Lately I just feel like things have been distant between us. I mean yes I know your still grieving, but if you really think about it, we haven't really talked about anything Ulrich, and I just feel a little hurt that you can't or won't or whatever talk to me about how you are feeling." Yumi looked straight into my eyes. "And it really does hurt you know, and like I said I know you're still hurting on the inside, but I just wish that you can talk to me."
I looked down at my lap, and played with my hands. "I'm sorry, I didn't want you to feel like I was being distant towards you…at all. That really..wasn't my intention." I placed my hand on Yumi's cheek. "I promise I'll talk about everything tonight with you."
"Ulrich, I don't want you to feel pressured to talk to me tonight, unless that's what you want." Yumi stated.
I nodded my head. "No, it's really want I want to do, I want us to sit down and talk tonight."
Yumi nodded her head, and smiled at me. Yumi then hopped down from hopped down from her seat, and pulled me into a hug. A smile crept across my face, as I hugged her back, and held her close to me. Yumi then pulled away just so she could look at me. "Whatever you're going through, just know that I'm not going anywhere, and that I'll always love you."
I gently placed both my hands on the sides of Yumi face. "I'll always love you as well Yumes, and I'm not going anywhere." I connected my lips with hers. I felt Yumi smile under the kiss, and kiss me back.
{Odd's POV}
I had just arrived home after a weird outing with my buddies. When I walked inside of the house I heard singing coming from the kitchen. When I walked further inside the house, getting ready to give Logan is medicine. Over the past few days Logan developed a small fever and prescribed some medication from Jeremie.
"A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down, the medicine go dow-wown, medicine go down, just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, in a most delightful way." Trinity sang happily, I smiled to myself as I saw Logan smile, and Trinity gave him some of his medicine.
"Hey, nice way to finally have Logan be happy about taking medicine." I smiled, as Trinity jumped as she didn't know she had an audience.
"Don't scare me like that." Trinity held a hand over her heart.
I laughed, and walked over towards Trinity and Logan. "How was your day?" I kissed Trinity's cheek, and ruffled Logan's hair.
"It was pretty good, the girls and I just hung out, and we got our nails, feet, and hair done." Trinity responded.
I examined Trinity's hair, trying to notice a difference in it. "I don't see anything different with it."
Trinity playfully rolled her eyes. "I just got it washed and straightened really, nothing major."
"That sounds cool, the guys and I just played some pool honestly. But then some drama just had to happen." I explained, and turned on the TV which was playing the top Disney songs.
"Really what happen?" Trinity asked, as she looked over towards the TV recognizing some of the songs that played.
"Hunter was there, and he tried to cause some drama but no big deal." I explained. "Oh I love this song. "We are Siamese if you please, we are Siamese if you don't please."
"Of course, one day I wish he fell off a rock." Trinity rolled her eyes.
"I agree with you." I responded, and watched as they went through some more songs I didn't really recognize, until one of them I recognize really well came on, because my mother said it related to me very well. "This my song." I grinned and picked up Logan and began to dance with him. "Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo I'm street wise, I can improvise. Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, I'm street smart. I've got New York City heart. Why should I worry? Why should I care? I may not have a dime, but I got street savoire faire. Why should I worry? Why should I care? It's just a bebopulation and I've got street savoire faire." I sang as I danced with Logan in my arms. As Logan and I were dancing, he was laughing right along with me, and tried singing along.
"Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo." Logan sang. I smiled, and joined him.
"You two are silly, I can Logan is going to grow up and be just as silly if not more as you." Trinity smiled, and watched as I danced with my son.
"Oh, come on, join the wild side hun." I smiled over at Trinity, who playfully rolled her eyes.
"By the way, we have a counselor meeting tomorrow around five." Trinity reminded me.
I stopped dancing with Logan, and placed him in his placed him in his play pin. "Yeah, we surely do don't we?"
"Do you still want to go through it?" Trinity asked.
I nodded my head. "I mean it wouldn't hurt to go through it you know?"
Trinity looked down at her feet, and then sat down on the couch. I noticed her facial expression, and sat down next to her.
"What's wrong?" I asked, ran my fingers through her hair.
"Well, I read up on some things about trust and marriage, and I think that we can build u our trust on our own, you know?" Trinity looked into my eyes.
I nodded my head. "Okay, I'm listening."
"Okay, so we married each other because we know that we truly love each other. So, what we have to work on is to stop doubting things. What I mean by that is, we have to trust each other with our lives, and we have to stop keeping secrets from one another. So, from now on we tell each other everything, doesn't matter if it is good or bad." Trinity explained.
"Yeah I understand where you are coming from." I said honestly. "Well, let's just see how things go for the next couple of days before we seek out a counselor."
Trinity smiled, and then nodded her head. I returned the smile, and scooted closer towards her, so that I could cuddle with her. "What do you want to do?" I smirked, and whispered in her ear.
Trinity's giggled, and turned her head towards mine. "Not what you're thinking, I have to finish up my lesson plans for tomorrow."
I sighed, and let go of Trinity as she walked over towards the kitchen table. I then walked over to the kitchen to grab a water bottle from the fridge. "I think I may go out for a run." I spoke, and poured the bottled water into one of my bottles I use when I worked out. "I didn't work out yesterday, so I feel weird."
Trinity chuckled. "Okay, it's leftover night so I'm not fixing anything."
I playfully rolled my eyes, and went upstairs to change into some grey gym shorts, a dark purple t-shirt, and white running shoes. I then grabbed my PearPod, and the thing that wraps around my arms to holds my PearPod. I then went back downstairs, and saw that Logan was still playing in his playpin, while Trinity was still working on her lesson plans.
"Alright, I'll be back before the soccer game comes on."
Once I stepped outside, I noticed that the sun was still out, but you could tell that it was about to set soon. "Might as well get a quick run in." I said to myself. I plugged my ear buds into my ear and began my run.
I ran throughout my whole neighborhood, before finally coming to a jog, and then a walk. I turned down the music on my PearPod, and began to walk back home. As I was walking home, I noticed a familiar face standing on the curb of the sidewalk. I rolled my eyes.
"What you doing, stalking me now?" I asked, as I walked past my ex-girlfriend Sam.
"No, I live in this neighborhood now." Sam responded. I stopped in my tracks, and turned my attention towards her.
"What?" I asked.
Sam nodded her head, and smiled. "Yup, I brought this house today, I'm just standing out waiting for the moving truck to get here. Honestly, I had no idea you lived here."
I rolled my eyes. "Sure."
Sam noticed the frustration on my face, and walked up towards me. "Hey, I just want to apologize for what I did in the past. I'm not the same anymore. And I was hoping we could be friends?" Sam looked up at me, and held her hand out.
I looked down at her hand, and then back up at her. "I don't know right now. Sam."
Sam then put down her hand, and nodded her head. She then backed away from me and waved at the moving truck. "Well, whenever you forgive my apology, you know where I live."
I stood in my place for a second, before walking back towards my own house. As I was walking I noticed how much Sam changed. She actually looked very nice from what I last remembered. I shook the thoughts out of my head, and continued my journey back home.
{Back at the Stern Household}
{Yumi's POV}
{A/N This chapter is mostly about Ulrich and Yumi, and Odd and Trinity}
A couple of hours has passed by after Ulrich, my mother, Kammi, and I ate. As of right now Kammi was upstairs sleeping, and Ulrich had went upstairs to take a shower. After I had washed and dried all of the dishes, I went over to the family room and accompanied my mother on the couch.
"Hey, how you holding up?" I asked my mother who was watching some soap opera.
My mother looked over at me, and sighed. "I'm doing okay my dear, just debating what I should do about this cancer."
I slowly nodded my head, and played with the edge of my shirt. "Have you decided how you are going to treat the cancer?"
My mother took in a deep breath before answering me. "I think for me it's best to go through with the mastectomy, either treatment I do it's going to leave a scar. Also, I want to go with it, just in case the cancer comes back."
I opened my mouth to say something in response, but I decided to go against it. In a way, I knew where my mother was coming from, and I understood why she chose the treatment she did. I was for her own protection. "I understand, have you talked with your doctor about it?"
"Yes, I told about it a week ago, and the doctor did recommend the mastectomy because of my age, and other reasons." My mother sighed sadly.
I gently pulled my mother into a hug. "Well mom I just want you to know that you can definitely count on me, dad, and Hiroki of course for your support network."
"You can count on me too Mrs. Ishiyama." Ulrich said from behind me, and sat on the opposite side of my mother. My mother and I smiled over at Ulrich.
"Thanks you two, but I do have to ask you a huge favor." My mom looked at bother Ulrich and I.
"Um, a few days before the surgery, is it alright if your father and I stay with you for a while until I'm fully recovered since you are much closer to the hospital that all this is happening at then I am." My mother asked. Ulrich and I looked at each other for a second, and then I looked at my mother.
"Of course you can stay here mom, why would we say no." I smiled at my mom.
"Oh, thank you so much." My mother returned the smile, and hugged both Ulrich and I.
"You're welcome Mrs. Ishiyama." Ulrich returned my mother's hug. "If you don't mind we asking, when is the surgery?"
"Um when I give my doctor my final decision, it will most likely be in the next couple of days." My mom answered. "But, let's not worry about that right now, I should be heading back home…"
"Wait, mom don't you have a doctor's appointment tomorrow?" I asked, and watched as she got up off of the couch.
"Yes, I do, why dear?"
"You can stay here for the night if you want, so you don't have to drive back home, and then drive way back over here." I suggested, and stood up off the couch.
"Are you sure?" My mother asked.
I shrugged my shoulders. "Yeah why not, there's plenty of bedrooms here. Besides it's like 9:30."
"Well alright dear, if you insist. I'll just sleep in the bedroom upstairs." My mother smiled, and decided to call it a night, since she had to wake up early for the next doctor appointment.
After I heard my mom shut the door, I looked back over at Ulrich, who had turned the channel to the soccer game that was going on. I sat down close to him, and took the remote from his hands to mute the TV. "Okay mister, what's everything that's going on with you."
Ulrich sighed, and turned his full attention towards me. "Um, I don't know to begin, actually. Um, as you know I'm still grieving the loss of…my parents, even though I said things could better and I read their letters… part of me just feels like part of me has been taken away." Ulrich explained, and looked down at his lap. "I don't know how long this grieving process is going to take either, but I know I want to move on with life, and stuff like that but I just can't. And then, I ran into Suzume today…" My eyes went wide, but I decided not to talk because it would be rude of me to interrupt Ulrich. "I know that was my facial expression when I saw him too. He said that he got released on bail or whatever."
Ulrich then took in a deep breath before finishing all the things that was on his mind. "He had said some smart ass comment about my parents, and then he said something about you. I was close to getting arrested today, but the guys held me back from doing something I would regret. I'm also just caught up in a crossfire about what path to take for my career."
I gave Ulrich and confused look, but kept listening to what he had to say. "You know how much I love to play soccer, but I decided to become a lawyer and stuff to follow in my father's footsteps. My parents asked me a question in their letter, saying that should follow the career path I love, which was soccer. So, I thought about it, and I actually do want to start play soccer professionally. I really do." Ulrich explained and looked into my eyes, looking for any sign of disappointment, I was guessing.
I nodded my head, and gently put myself into his lap. "Ulrich, if you want to play soccer professionally, then I think you should go for it. You know? I can't be mad at you for doing what you love, how could I say no to that." I looked up at him.
Ulrich just simply shrugged his shoulders. "Hey, thanks for listening Yumi, I do feel better after today."
"Good, because your night is about a whole lot better." I smirked, and watched as Ulrich's face began to turn a shade of red, but my comment managed a smile across his face.
I returned the smile, and placed my lips upon his. Ulrich began to kiss me back, as he placed his hands on my waist. I then deepened the kiss, and ran my fingers through his hair. Ulrich then slightly pulled away from our kiss and looked at me. "Wa..wait Yumes are you sure want to do this here, and…now, I mean your mom's right now upstairs she could…hear."
I looked to Ulrich's eyes and bit my lip. Instead of answering his question I pressed my lips against his ear, and began whispering inside of it. As I was whispering inside of his ear his hear I head him groan a little bit at what I was saying. Next thing I knew Ulrich had gently pulled me into a rapid heated kiss.
As things were about to get more heated between us, we both heard a knock on the door. We pulled away from our kiss and looked over towards the front door.
"Who could that be?" I asked
"I'm sure it's nothing." Ulrich said, before he pulled me into another kiss. Seconds later we then heard the knock on the door again. "Who, who would knock on the door a ten something at night?" Ulrich asked, as he got up off the couch after I got up from his lap.
{Normal POV}
Ulrich had walked up towards the front door to see the mysterious person that wanted their attention at such a late hour. Without looking in the peep hole, Ulrich answered the door and his eyes went wide.
"Hey Ulrich, miss me." Raine smiled, as she stood at the door only in some skimpy lingerie.
Whoa, Raine is back, Suzume is back, Hunter is back. Odd and Trinity are slightly having marriage problems. This story is already hitting off with drama already. In the next chapter you will see more of Tristan and Selena, as well as Jeremie and Aelita. This small little drama is only the half of it that is going to happen in future chapters so I hope you all stay tuned for that. But like I said not only will the group have to deal with the normal everyday adult life, they have to deal with people from their past as well.
But I hope you all liked this chapter a lot! Sorry if anything seemed rushed, or anything but it's only the first chapter things are going to get more interesting in the next chapter!
