Miwako turned off the phone, and immediately a weak smile showed up in her pink lips.
She put her coat on and ran downstairs, but when she was about to open the door she stopped. She felt butterflies in her stomach. Since he got married they haven't speak much, and she always tried to run away from that matter in her conversations with Caroline
She opened the door and came outside running to hug him, as if nothing in the world was wrong to her, and pretending that he, Hiro, was a friend just like all the other ones.
Hiroyuki received her in his arms, reminding the smell of her pink hair. They stayed like that for some time; Hiroyuki didn't want to let her go. But he had to. He was committed, and so was she.
In that moment he stopped being Hiroyuki. He was just Hiro now, Miwako's Hiro.
Miwako looked at him with her big eyes and smiled, childish, cute, warm… just the way he always loved.
What is Hiro-kun doing here? Is Hiro-kun alright?
George wrote… I don't know what to do… I thought that, with time she would start loving me…
George was Caroline's first love… Hiro-kun must be patient.
He was being patient! Did Miwako know just how much he wanted to hug her again? Say to her that all was a mistake? Tell her, again and again that he was in love with her? No, she didn't, and she couldn't possibly know.
I think that… maybe it's better if we get divorced.
Isn't Hiro-kun is love with Caroline anymore?
No, he wasn't, he never was.
I like her…
Miwako understood he answer, he wasn't.
How's Arashi?
Miwako looked away from Hiroyuki, and tears came to her eyes.
Arashi doesn't want Miwako to talk to Hiro-kun, but Miwako wants to be like old times, Miwako wants to be… and then when Miwako said that to Arashi, Arashi got mad and Arashi don't speak to Miwako for 2 days… Arashi thinks that Miwako was cheating on him…
You break up?
Miwako thinks so…
And how do you feel about that? – he asked concerned
Miwako looked at him with respect. The little boy that lost his first love to his best friend was more concerned about her feeling then about his own marriage and about his own wife.
Miwako is ok now…
Miwako and Hiroyuki sit on a bench near Mikako's house. Hiroyuki closed his eyes tiered and confused.
Miwako noticed that he wasn't ok, and gave a soft touch in his dark hair. And in that moment everything stopped. Miwako's heart was beating fast. Hiro was looking her in the eyes and a deep desire came out of their hearts.
In a second Hiro's lips touched Miwako's. Even if it was just once in a life he wanted to know how it is to kiss his true love. But when he finally knew he didn't want it to stop, never.
