Another Love Chapter 2
The story so far:
Tsukushi just found out that her song had gotten a thousand hits and up. She is happy but not completely because she is still jealous and sad that Tsukasa is married now. Meanwhile when she gets home Rui knocks on her door and she tells him all that happened. In the meantime they were making out.
Just to let you guys know, I am very appreciative towards you guys. I am very well welcoming any constructive criticism. This meaning helpful criticism. I also appreciate all the kind encouraging comments on the stories. Anyways, Continuing on with the story! By the way I am sorry if it drags out. I will try however to make it interesting.
Continuing on with the story:
I woke up early around six in the morning to find Rui lying next to me. I was in a way worried that we had done it. But then again my clothes were still on but still, he could have put them back on as soon as we were finished. Looking at Rui he looked so angelic. It was then that I saw him twitch slightly and he slowly sat up. His eyes then stared completely into mine making my face blush bright red. He made a sly smile then said "Good morning Tsukushi. So was last night your first time? I can't believe it you were so good." he said smiling so delighted with himself. I blushed my with my face turning completely red this time. Rui started to crack up laughing. "Silly girl! I didn't have sex with you. All we did was kiss." he said still laughing. I sighed with relief because, I could have never forgiven myself if I slept with him.
I started laughing so it wouldn't seem like I was a humorless alien or something. He then smiled and asked me "So Tsukushi do you feel better? This is the first time I have seen you smile since I came here." he said looking at me closely as if he was spying on my every move. "Oh, was I really that miserable? Oh yeah I completely forgot when I was with you. Thank you so much. I am truly grateful to have a great friend like you. How is it that when I am with you, you are always able to make me feel better?" I said smiling, but still not completely healed from seeing him with his family. "You are very welcome Tsukushi. Thanks also I am glad that you like when you hang out with me. I still love you, even if I was in love with Shizuka before my heart has changed its ways. Also I do not know, maybe it is because I am awesome! Just kidding!" he said laughing. I started to laugh as well.
"Rui I am going to make Breakfast. Do you want anything?" I asked him kindly. "Sure how about... hm...? How about bacon and eggs. Please and thank you." he said with a calm voice.
So then I made the breakfast we ate and then we started catching up on things. "So what have you been doing since graduation?" I asked him curiously. "Oh nothing out of the ordinary. I went back to France, stayed with Shizuka for awhile but then she got married. That is pretty much it. That took up all the time from now." he explained frowning. "Aw, I am sorry Rui, I am always here for you, just like you were here for me when... stuff happened." I said frowning as well as him. "What do you mean "stuff"?" he asked me with confusion so easily recognizable. "When I found out about Tsukasa's family." I said frowning, and again; tears starting to well up into my shiny brown eyes. "Oh I see, are you alright with this. You should fix things with Tsukasa. Or at least tell him how you feel. Wait now thinking about it, that would be extremely rude. Nevermind don't do that. Hmm... Maybe if they get a divorce or something happens I think you should tell him then but right now it is best not to sorry I mentioned it." he said in the deep trance of thinking.
"Oh no, that won't be necessary and anyways I am not one to tell my true feelings to people. Even though I really wish I said yes I probably hurt him badly. I wonder if he still at least a little likes me. Not like tells his wife everyday, but like he discreetly thinks about me every now and then." I said also thinking too. "Well, I think your song was beautiful Tsukushi. It is very sweet, and angelic. I think even though it is a more shorter song, it is very touching and that is probably mainly why so many people like it. Hey, will you sing the song for me it would make me really ~~~happy!" he said. "sure, I will also play it on the piano because in my opinion, I like it better when it is played on there." I said walking over to the piano. I slowly started to play the piano while singing the song:
I miss you
I know what I said was wrong
I hope you understand through this song
That I've loved you all along
So now sweety
Please come back to me
Then we can start our relationship anew
So please don't say we are through
I miss you
So please again honey don't say we are through
I love you
I swear it is true
I finally admit it to be
Forever truthfully
True forever
I miss you
Please come back to me
When I finished singing Rui was standing there in silence speechless. "sorry did my voice start cracking up. Ugh I hate it when that happens. And when I say cracking up, I mean like messing up not like laughing." I said irritated with myself. He came in close pulled my hand and kissed me, causing me to slowly close my eyes. He kissed me so tenderly, gently, and more importantly with his soft tender lips. When he slowly pulled me away from him he said "No you didn't mess up. It is just that it was so beautiful that my breath was slowly taken away. I do not know how you can even sing that without crying. Isn't it hard. Sorry if this makes you sad. But even so, many people say I am the master at making people feel better when they are sad." he said sweetly and quietly.
"Thank you so much. I am so glad you enjoyed it. Yes it makes me cry almost every single time I sing it but on special occasions like this such as for you, my friends or for anyone else, I have to try and force myself not to cry. This includes inside of the studio. And no it doesn't make me sad I should probably try and move on with my life. I mean it was my decision; mistake, to choose this path. I will just have to make the best of it. Maybe one day I will get back together with him but not today." I said.
A few minutes later, the phone started ringing. I glanced at Rui to give him the 'I am going to answer the phone okay?' look. He gave a nod and allowed me to answer the phone. I saw on the caller ID that it was Tsukasa Domyoji. I wondered to myself how on Earth he got my number but I guess he has his ways. Or maybe I forgot that I gave him my number or something? Anyways I answered the phone and said "hello?". [below is the conversation shown on the phone.
Tsukushi: Hello?
Tsukasa: Tsukushi? I have something to tell you and I am so angry right now UGH!
Tsukushi: Okay. What happened?
Tsukasa: I found out that my wife had been cheating on me and we are going to get a divorce.
Tsukushi: Oh no! How long has she been cheating on you? [she said this quite loud so Rui could hear. He looked at her in shock of the irony in which they were talking about. She still however wasn't going to tell him, yet.]
Tsukasa: I have no idea. But let me tell you, I completely snapped. I kind of went berserk. I threw a flower pot on the floor and got so angry I slapped her. Why is it that I always end up hurting the people I love?
Tsukushi: I see, and also I have no idea? Are you going to be okay?
Tsukasa: I have no idea... I feel like killing someone.
Tsukushi: (…) [this stands for silence]
Tsukasa: hello?
Tsukushi: hi...
Tsukasa: why were you silent all of a sudden?
Tsukushi: because it is just that you said you felt like... killing someone really? I mean did you really feel that angry when you saw me and Rui Hanazawa kissing back then and such?
Tsukasa: What do you think? It made me so angry I wanted to punch someone. So I punched Rui. I still can't believe he did that. But that doesn't matter though. Hey, Can I come over to your house?
Tsukushi: Sure, do you know what the address is? By the way how on Earth did you find my number? I live in a new house so I don't understand.
Tsukasa: I have my ways... and plus yes I do know where you live. I will be there in five minutes okay? Bye.
Tsukushi: Bye.
She hung up the phone and turned to Rui who was shocked of the irony.
"That was so ironic was it not?" I asked him. "Yes very. Is he coming over because I probably should leave seeing as it would be weird seeing me here when you were talking about a personal matter. So I will get out of your way for now but if you need anything else don't feel hesitant." he replied. "Okay then I will talk to you later then." I said as he left my house. I gave a sigh of relief. I then got dressed and got ready for him to come over. I made sure there was no signs of Rui being there and tried to prepare for the man whom I love so much, and was so sick and tired of being away from to come over.
A few minutes later when I was finally ready I heard a knock on the door. I knew it must be him. I took a quiet deep breath then opened the door.
"Hi Tsukasa." I greeted him at the door. He seemed really Really angry. It was almost frightening. "Hey." he said with an angry almost possessive undertone. I lead him into my house. "Tsukushi lets get things settled." he said stopping abruptly when he entered my house. He then turned to me and said "I still love you. Even before I found out about this I still loved you. Maybe not as much as my wife since we were married but still. Do you still love me? More importantly, why did you say 'no' to me when I asked for your hand in marriage?" he asked waiting patiently for me to reply.
"Yes I still love you. I have always loved you and you have no idea how much it hurt me to say no. I don't even know why I completely said no. It must have been something like 'oh he will never be able to fit into my world because our worlds are so different. But in the end they would be the same because I am a singer and a manga artist. But that doesn't mean anything. You know that song I did called I miss you. The producer got the credit, because it was a song that I had requested because I made it. I requested for him to get the credit so you wouldn't know how I had felt about you. He accepted gladly and when I heard that it had gotten a thousand hits I had gotten a little happy but then not completely. I knew it was too late to say anything now, but now that you found out about this I knew I had to tell you so that is how it happened." I said with my face completely red and tears streaming down my face.
That is all for now. How will Tsukasa respond. Will we ever find out how long Tsukasa's wife has been cheating on him? Stay tuned as I will update it soon. I have to go for now because I made a deal to let my sister play on the computer so yeah. Sorry if it dragged on but I will try harder next time. ^^ Bye.
