40 Days Until The Wedding

The days passed quicker than expected. Meiko and Kaito planned on getting married during the middle of next month so I had a little under six weeks to make Kaito love me. This was decided. This is what I wanted. Even if I had to drag Kaito into the depths of hell, I would. My love was so overpowering that it threatened to implode from my very core and comsume me. I needed my feelings to be accepted and reciprocated no matter what.

Meiko and I had grown farther apart; which wasn't completely my fault. She always had something to do: Flowers to tend to, dresses to compare, cakes to taste. No wonder women go mad. She did have a chance, however, to tell me that I was going to be her maid of honor. I guess I was supposed to be excited about this, but I wasn't because the wedding wasn't going to happen. Meiko and Kaito were never going to happen. They never announced that they were dating. It was a sham! I could sense it; all of it. But why?

I knew that Kaito didn't want to see me. Why he rejected me that day at his birthday party is still a mystery to me. The depth of sadness that filled his eyes when he said no could not be beat by anyone. So why? That was always the question wasn't it?

Why?

Why this? Why that? Why does the Earth revolve around the sun? Why did Meiko agree agree to marry Kaito? So many "Why's" and not enough "Because's" It made me frustrated.

39 Days Until The Wedding

Today I was going to go visit Kaito. I didn't want him to think I was dying of depression: I was acutlaly giddy with excitement. I just needed a plan, so I was going to Kaito for inspiration. I quickly whipped up an excuse in my mind and headed for his home. When I arrived, Kikaito answered, his blonde hair a complete mess.

"Is Kaito here?" I asked nicely.

He nodded slowly. "Yeah.. in the backyard." He yawned loudly and shut the door. I rounded the house and sure enough there he sat underneath a large oak tree.

Breathing in deeply, I approached him. "Kaito~" I said as I walked towards him. Noticing me, he stood.

"Miku. What are you doing here?"

I strut passed him and plopped down in front of the tree where he originally sat. "Oh, Meiko wanted me to ask you if you care whether or not the flowers match the interer of the church."

He stood there in what looked to be disbelief. "No. Why would I care about that?"

I nodded and pointed a finger at him. "See that's what I told her. But she still forced me to come here anyway."

We stayed there in silence for a while until Kaito asked a question. "Why didn't she come herself?" He didn't even glance at me and I felt a stab to my heart. I stood and got in his face to where he was forced to look at me.

"She's so busy planning your wedding that she just didn't have time to come and talk to her fiance'." I was putting emphases on the words for a reason. First stage of my still uncomplete plan was to make him feel guilty. Kaito had a big heart so even if things weren't his fault he still felt horrible.

Kaito stared at me for a minute. He placed his hands in his pockets and looked down at the ground. "Miku, do you still like me?"

I hated the way he spoke the phrase. Like I was a burden on his life. Well him getting married was burdening me right now, and you didn't hear me complain. Well, that was partly because he wasn't going to get married. But that was besides the point. I didn't hold back. "Yes."

He sighed deeply like I was a child that wouldn't stop begging. Little did he know that I planned to make him be the one begging me. "Miku. I can't tell you how awkward this is: That I'm getting married knowning you have feelings for me."

"Then don't get married." I said it so simply that one might have mistaken it for a joke.

He stared at me in disbelief. "Miku! I can't do that!"

"Yes you can." I stood on my tip toes so I could stare into his beautiful bright blue orbs. I wanted my point to be known. "Just tell her no. Then everything will be okay."

A small amount of panic filled his eyes and he stared at me strangely. "Why? What's wrong?"

Sighing, I shook my head. "You will find out soon enough." I turned on my heel and left him standing there alone and confused.


Sorry this is so short, but I'm doing this on my grandmother's computer, plus I have no spell check. So I'll fix it when I get home.
