So I will save my comments to the end and let's jump right into the story. ROSE53289, I thank you and hope you all enjoy the story! Let's read!
Our Child, Kaida
Chapter 1
Not Just One
*Kasumi's P.O.V*
I finished putting the bags into the car and hurried inside, the cold going through my gloves. I promised my boyfriend I'd go to the store since it was one of our special nights again; plus we needed a couple little things around the house, it was the perfect opportunity.
I turned on the heater and got the car started, carefully backing out and heading for the streets. It was cold during the winter, the streets were filled with snow piling high and the roads were covered in ice. He didn't want me to go alone, but I insisted he stay home, besides there was one more stop I wanted to make.
Driving through the streets and I paid extra attention, but sometimes found my mind wondering. I felt guilty for not telling him the whole truth. I mean 'what does it matter if you're going to make one more stop, right?' Believe me, there is much more to this story that he doesn't know.
I recently discovered a friend from our college was also living here, but he wasn't just a friend to me. I used to have a crush on him, but never said anything. And when I remembered him and my boyfriend used to be the best friends, the guilt only became worse.
One time I went to go see him and I ended up staying the night because of a blizzard. It was okay at first; we were talking about old memories and what we had planned for the future. Then it changed when I mentioned how cold I was. He brought me a blanket but that wasn't enough. We ended up snuggling together to stay warm, but my heart couldn't stop jumping and then we talked about what life would be like if me and him were dating, since he had a crush on me to, but at the time I was with my boyfriend.
He had no idea how badly I wanted to make our ideas real life. I tried my hardest to remind myself I already had the guy of my dreams, but the minute he picked up my chin to look at him, I forgot everything. We really ended up warm that night.
Ever since then I've went to see him every now and again. He knew about my boyfriend to, but he couldn't help himself either. I've been dying to tell my boyfriend everything, but I couldn't bare the thought of losing him; he meant the world to me.
I slowly parked the car and stared up at the apartments. Another night of messing around; of course I didn't see it that way, but most people would. I made a trip to the trunk really quick and made my way up, unlocking the door myself (since I had my own key) and stepping inside.
I heard the shower running and smiled to myself; I could surprise him. I set down the bag and put my coat, scarf, and gloves on a nearby chair. I went to the tiny kitchen and started putting the things away. I bought some stuff for him too, figuring he would be surprised when he saw his kitchen was somewhat full.
"I thought I heard someone come in," a voice said.
I smiled and turned to him, his hip lazily against the door frame, wearing a pair of sleep pants and a towel around his neck. "Workers actually deliver groceries now, did you know that?" He shook his head and gave me a kiss on the cheek, before helping, "Not in this weather. You really shouldn't be out, Kasumi."
"It's fine, Jin," I replied, putting the plastic bags under the sink, "I needed a couple things."
He frowned and took my hands, squeezing them gently, "Babe, your hands are freezing." He kissed them sweetly and went back to drying his black hair, walking away to sit on the couch, "So, what lie did you tell him this time?"
"I told him I had to go to store, but he already knew that," I replied.
"Then that's not really a lie," he chuckled, "You're terrible at lying. So, what brings you here?"
I scoffed, "Can't I see an old friend from college? Besides you could use the company." When I came close enough, he grabbed my wrists and yanked me down, so I fell onto his lap, "So I'm a friend now?" I laughed as he switched our positions, putting me underneath him. I gave him a kiss as a way of saying sorry, "A very close friend. Better?"
He bit his bottom lip slowly and gave a sigh, "It'll have to do." He kissed me again, his mouth perfectly fitting with mine. I shifted my body making sure he fit between my legs, my hands falling on his waist. He pulled away, gently brushing my bangs out of my eyes, then looked up to see the falling snow, "How cold do you think it is out there?"
I threw my head back, looking at what he was looking at, "Probably in the thirties." I looked up at him, giving him an innocent stare, "I'm kind of cold too."
He smirked down at me, "Oh really?" His hand went under my shirt, spreading across my stomach, "Oh I see. Well we have to fix that." My body jumped when his hips pushed down on mine and instantly our lips met, my arms wrapping around his neck.
I had some time to kill now. I was pretty grateful a small blizzard hit.
Pulling the last of bags out, I shut the trunk and ran to get inside, closing the door tightly behind me. I shook off the cold feeling, my breathing a bit heavy. The minute I put the bags down on the counter, my boyfriend came from around the corner, "There you are, Kasumi. I was starting to get worried."
"I'm sorry, Ryu," I replied, shedding my coat. He came to help me, putting them away and joining me back in the kitchen. Surprisingly, he took the can out of my hand and spun me around, his hands on my face and kissing me deeply, "Next time, I go with you, okay?"
I laughed and stroked his wrists, returning his caress, "Okay." He gave me another kiss before helping me with the bags, putting things away and sometimes tossing them to me to put away.
"Did you get the popcorn?" he asked.
"I did," I answered, "Did you pick the movie?"
"I did," he replied, "You're going to love it. Go ahead and get changed, I'll finish this." I smiled, giving him a quick kiss before leaving, "Thanks." I headed for our bedroom, switching to a pair of sleep clothes and grabbing a blanket from the hall closet; even with the heater on it seemed cold in the house. The winter months were the prettiest, but sometimes I wanted to take a blanket with me everywhere I went.
I returned to the living room, putting the blanket on the couch and taking my seat. Ryu came from the kitchen, the bowl of popcorn in his hand, munching away on them. He handed them to me and put in the movie, taking his seat next to me when he was finished.
"So what movie is it?" I asked, scooting closer to him and draping the covers over our laps. "You'll see in a minute," he answered. I frowned at him, "why are you keeping it a secret?" He only smiled and pointed at the screen. I heard the eerie music and faced the screen, grabbing a pillow and hitting him with it, "A scary movie on a night like this?"
He laughed, "What's the matter? I saw it as a chance to bond with you." I crossed my arms, but ended up laughing in the end, cuddling up closer to him, "No, you just wanted me to hold you."
"Not true," he replied, "it gives me a reason to hold you too." I looked up at his green eyes; it was amazing to see how much of a softy he could be. He was so quiet and so stern when we first meet, but probably because he saw me as his best friend's sister. But I finally convinced Hayate to let us date and ever since then we've been happy as can be; that was about three years ago.
"You're such a softy," I said.
"Only for you," he answered, his chin resting on my head. He pushed the play button but before it started he spoke again, "Hey? I love you, Kasumi." I blushed and looked at him again, "I love you too. You tell me almost every day."
"It's because I do," he replied, kissing my forehead, "I have no idea what I would do without you. You mean everything to me." The guilt ate away at my soul, but I answered, "Me too; with all my heart."
We kissed one more time before I went back to resting on his chest, my thoughts clouded about what was doing behind his back with Jin.
I know what we were doing was immoral, but I couldn't stop. Jin was so sweet, so kind; I almost couldn't believe I didn't date him before. I was being unfair and dishonest but I loved Ryu just as much; maybe even more.
I really can't explain my reasons, but I can't let go of either of them…
To be continued…
And here is chapter one! In a nutshell, the other chapters aren't going to be like this. I just wanted to give you Kasumi's side of the story because we all know how it's hard to explain why people do it. But then again maybe not (?) You know what; I watch too many cheating shows, nevermind.
I had their ages changed too, so right now they are:
Kasumi- 22
Ryu- 23
Jin- 24
Any other questions, don't be afraid to ask me, but let's jump on over to chapter two were we see, Jin's side of the story.
Ta-ta readers! See you then.
