Monday 4.43 PM

Morning Kishinuma-kun!

It's a great day, don't you think?

If you don't mind, can you please show me around your favorite places to eat?

Only if you're feeling healthy enough, that is!

-Shinozaki :3

Heh…I guess she sees me as a friend now. I just hope she won't start stalking me or something. I'm still tired after a long day at the university and I've still not fully recovered from my cold, but…She needs guiding! I really do see her as a friend already, wow…

Sure thing, Shinozaki.

I feel a lot better today.

Let's meet in the record store in around half an hour.

It didn't take long for her to answer.

Sounds good!

Seeya there!

«Hehe…». I turned off my phone and put it in my pocket before going to the kitchen to have a glass of water. «What're you laughing at?» Azusa asked. «Hm? Oh, just me being weird», I said and laughed again. Azusa sighed and went back to making dinner. «You like curry, right?» she asked. «Sure, why?» I asked. «Why do you think, idiot. I'm making curry for dinner tonight», she said. «Oh, I'll have to pass dinner today», I said. Azusa stopped chopping the chicken and glared at me. «Why?» she hissed out. «I figured I could eat at the new cafes today», I answered, a little scared because of her tone.

Her hand that was holding the knife was getting clenched very tightly as if she was in pain. «You…Today I decided to be caring and cook you dinner since you were sick, and now you're going out?! What kind of man are you?!» she yelled at me. Dammit, she has a point. «I'm sorry, but there's something very important I have to do!» I yelled back. «Oh really?! What's more important than enjoying a homecooked meal with your girlfriend?!» she asked. Okay, I have to come up with a believable lie… Crap..!

«Satoshi really needs some dating advice! He's going on a date tomorrow!» I said with the most honest voice I could muster up. Azusa looked at me and grunted. I think she believes me…Thank god… «Is it really that important?» she asked. I nodded. Azusa thought about it for a while and sighed after a few minutes. «Can't you at least eat the curry first?» she asked. «Fine…But please be quick», I said. Azusa who seemed a lot more angry than just now, didn't answer me and just continued cooking her curry. Fuck, now I have to keep Shinozaki waiting…

*40 MINUTES LATER*

«I'm off and I'll be back soon!» I said and went out of the door, not waiting for her response. Crap, I'm late! I really hope she won't get mad at me! Just running and not thinking straight, I eventually reached the record store, so I violently pulled the door and went inside panting.

«Ah! Kishinuma-kun!» was the first thing I heard coming out between her lips as I entered. «Hey…», I said in between pants while clutching my knees tightly. «Are you okay?» Shinozaki asked. I nodded and said: «Sorry to have kept you waiting». She shook her head. «I actually arrived just now, hehe». «I see…Well then, you wanted me to show you around?» I asked. «Mhm! Please, lead the way!» she said and giggled. I laughed with her and went outside with her.

«So, there's this cafe that makes really good green tea lattes…», I suggested. She raised an eyebrow and repeated: «Green tea latte?» I nodded. «It's weird, but it's good. As long as you like green tea, that is». «Ah…I prefer red and black tea, but it doesn't sound bad! Anything else?» she asked.

«Hmmm…There's one where they have a caramel cream espresso with choco mousse on top. Once you've tasted it, it becomes a drug», I said and chuckled. «That sounds dangerous!» she blurted out. I laughed and said: «I only meant it as a matter of speech, relax». She giggled embarrassed and asked: «What about a place that sells fast food and some good caffeine products? Are there any cafe's like that here?» «You're technically asking me to take you to McDonald's», I said and laughed even more, making some heads turn around to see the person with that loud laugh. «Oops. Busted», she said and laughed with me. «Well, I've already ate but…I guess a Big Mac won't hurt anyone!» I said and raised my fist into the air. «True that! Let's go!» Shinozaki yelled and ran ahead of me. «Oi, let me show you the way first!» I yelled behind her.

*AT MCDONALD'S*

«Hm…The espresso here is not bad», Shinozaki mumbled as she drank a small, skeptic sip. «You don't like bitter things, eh?» I asked. She shrugged her shoulders. «I don't exactly despise them. I just prefer sweets», she said. «Hehe…». We didn't really have much to talk about, so I figured it would be easier to start a conversation to ask her a little about her home.

«Shinozaki? What do you usually get at cafes in Norway?» I asked. At first she looked surprised, but answered me very firmly: «Mostly ice cream during the summer, but hot chocolate during the cold season». «I see. Makes sense», I mumbled. «What about you?» she asked and smiled. Hmm…What have I really drunk lately at cafes…Oh yeah…! «Classic coffees or cappoucinos are my thing, really», I replied with a slight grin. «Ah, you're mature then!» she giggled. I shook my head. «Everything but, to be honest», I said. «Really?» she asked. I nodded. I've never seen myself as someone mature. Neither have any of my friends, nor my family.

We kept chatting about…everything really, until Ayumi told me she had to leave. I followed her to the building she stayed at and I promised her that we would hang out every once i a while. I guess I had a good time, despite being sick and having a fight with Azusa once again.

8.56 PM

«Welcome home…», I heard Azusa mumble from the couch. «Ah…Hey…», I said. She didn't say anything. She was just reading a cookbook as I got closer to her. I coughed a few times, but she didn't react at all. Is she still mad at me? No, that can't be… Unable to read her expression, I went to our bedroom to change into a more comfortable pair of pants and shirt. Still, no action in Azusa's movement. I need to speak up. I coughed and mumbled: «So...um…What did you do while I was gone…?»

Finally, I could see Azusa's hand slightly move. Wait…are her hands shaking…? Just what's with her…? I could hear her grit her teeth tightly against each other and her whole body shaking.

«Heh…Fucking really…? Is that all you have to say…?» she whispered. She rose up from the couch, not turning her head to me. «Huh…? What do you mean…?» I asked dumbfounded. That only made her more angry than before. «I called Satoshi…Yeah, do you get it now…?!» she said in a much louder voice. I gulped nervously and couldn't move my gaze away from her. She turned around, her eyes on fire and her teeth gritted together.

«I thought you'd been acting weird, but LYING TO ME?! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!» she yelled and threw her book at my face. «Argh!» I yelped in pain and clutched my right cheek tightly. She walked closer to me with large steps with the same fiery look. Only this time, they were full of tears.

«Why can't you ever tell me what's really going on anymore, Yoshiki?! What happened to our relationship!? WHAT HAPPENED TO US?! JUST WHY CAN'T YOU TRUST ME ANYMORE?! DON'T YOU LIKE ME ANYMORE!?»

I knitted my eyebrows together in frustration and yelled back, my entire body swelling up by emotions. «I love you Azusa, and I could be more honest with you if weren't such a…such a…SUCH A BITCH TO ME!»

Oh no…I fucking said it…

Azusa's entire face got paler and paler as she burts into tears. «Yoshiki, what happened to you!? Do you think I don't love you anymore?! Is that why you've cheated one me?!» she screamed. What the fuck?! Is she really thinking that I've been cheating on her?! What the fuck does she take me for!? «Do you really think I've cheated on you after telling you so honestly that I love you?!» I yelled. «How can I trust you anymore after you've lied to me once!?» she yelled back. I couldn't take it any longer. Filled with anger, I screamed at her with all my might:

«I HAVEN'T FUCKING CHEATED AZUSA, OKAY?! YOU'RE JUST DESTROYING OUR RELATIONSHIP EVEN MORE! OH, HOW?! YOU DON'T EVEN TRUST ME ANYMORE! YES, I LIED TO YOU ONCE, BUT YOU KNOW WHY?! BECAUSE YOU NEVER FUCKING SEEM INTERESTED IN ME ANYMORE?! I'M JUST A BOTHER TO YOU! MAYBE YOU NEVER EVEN LO-

*SLAP!*

As if someone clicked the off-switch, I immediately stopped yelling as I was met with the extremely burning pain on my right cheek, making me fall down to the floor. I couldn't even think straight anymore. Azusa was breathing heavily as her tears dripped down on the floor in front of me. She sobbed and hicupped a lot of times and whispered: «I love you too, Yoshiki. I just want you to know that».

And so, she walked with loud and fast steps to our bedroom and slammed the door behind her.

Laying there on the floor with my cheek red and swollen, new and clear thoughts of truth appeared in my head. Our love has dried out. She was never the right one. From our very first fight, I kept myself sane with the thoughts that I still was in love with her even now. But…

…that's also when I became a liar.
