Chapter 4
Brown, Red, and Promise Rings
Mari's P.O.V.
"Come on Beauty" Beast says taking my hand.
"Where are we going?" I ask cocking an eyebrow.
"Up there" he says pointing at the mountain and a tube going up to it. He's not afraid of cliffs? Even though he fell from one?
"Are you sure?" I ask playing it cool. Truth be told I'm terribly afraid of heights after that day. Beast is way braver then I had ever imagined.
"Yeah the sun is going to be setting soon and I heard if a couple is there for the entire thing then they'll be together until death loving each other" he says looking at me with a loving gaze. Screw the assholes who called me a slut or told me I could never commit. Most of the people who said that to me were my ex's so I couldn't care less. 'Cause I'd really like to see them say that to me now.
"You really are a hopeless romantic and where exactly did you hear that?" I ask.
"Some girls" he says with a laugh. I think I could conquer my fear. I will be with him after all.
"Come on silly let's go" I say taking his hand and started to pull him forward toward the place where the tubes went up to the mountain.
My legs turned to gelatin as soon as we saw the view and Beast went to go get us some coffee to watch the sunset. But then a thick fog rolled in and covered the sky and memories from that day filled my mind.
"Are you ok Mari?" Beast says as he passes me a coffee.
"Not really" I say taking a sip of the coffee which was bitter.
"What's wrong then" he says putting his hand on my thigh trying to comfort me.
"Doesn't this day remind you of that day" I say holding back the tears in my eyes.
"It does but, there's no need to think about that" he says pushing off the bangs on my forehead to give me a kiss on the forehead. "What happened to that live in the moment personality of yours?" He says playfully.
"But, Kenji if I had helped you than you might not have to suffer that pain" I say letting the tears fall freely.
"Mairu don't cry" he says wiping them away. "But, what if you fell with me, Mari if you did I would never forgive myself" he says looking me straight in the eyes and leans forward to kiss me. Each kiss was more passionate then the next and they were amazing. I would never give him up for anything or anyone.
"I love you Mairu" he says in between a kiss.
"I love you too" I answer back.
"I think we better stop now or we won't be able to watch the sunset" he says breaking away from me with a smile and blush.
"Fine" I say with a hint of disappointment but he just grins at me and I smile back. We watch hand in hand as the sun goes down.
"Mari I have something for you" Beast says putting his other hand fishing around for it and pulls out a little box.
"What is it?" I ask as he puts the little box into my hand.
"Open it" he says with a grin.
"It's so pretty" I say looking at the ring in the box. The band of the ring looked like a vine and the main piece was shaped into a red rosé and in the center was a diamond.
"It's suppose to be a promise ring can I put it on you?" He asks and I nod my head. "It reminded me of that one time do you remember?"
"How can I not it's one of my most cherished memories, it was also the first time we met, and photographic memory remember?" say smiling.
Flashback
"Mairu stop hiding from behind me and greet our guests" my foster mother says and I listen. I was four years old and I was wearing one of my favorite dresses I had just gotten for Christmas.
"She's so cute" an older woman says. "This is my son Kenji he's five" the woman says and a boy with dark brown hair styled to the side.
"How handsome why don't you two go play outside in the garden while Mrs. Lee and I have some grown up time" Moma says ushering us to the glass door that led to the garden.
The boy in front of me said something I didn't understand and it sounded very funny. (Note he's half Chinese and quarter of both Japanese and American so he was speaking Chinese while they all were speaking in American. Also Mari is full American they aren't really counterparts remember he was experimented on so he was a human before not a ruff. While I'm at it Ali's half American and Japanese Koumori (Beatle) is the same. And I have no clue what Sachiko (her new puff name is Blind) and Blink are partially because they're from another dimension. I guess I would have them be Italian and Japanese. Okay now back to the story)
"You talk funny" I say with a giggle and Kenji glares at me. He comes up to me and pushes me down. He then says something else but, I was to busy crying.
He later came back and said something else it seemed like he was apologizing. He picked me up, dusted me off, and gave me a rose.
"For a beautiful young lady" I hear him say in French. (Yes she can speak a little bit of French at this age...)
"You speak French?" I say in French and he nods. "What were you speaking before?" I ask.
"Chinese" he says.(people have different ways of saying there own language ex. we say Japanese but Japanese say Nehongee
"Oh, I'm sorry I thought you were trying to speak American" I say as a blush covered my face.
End of Flashback
"Yeah, I remember like an elephant" he says kissing the top of my forehead.
"Did you just call me fat?" I tease.
"You know what I meant" he says putting his arm around me.
"Tonight's gorgeous" I say with a smile as I looked at the snow covered mountain.
"Yeah it is but it's even more beautiful with you" he whispers in French into my ear.
"Hopeless romantic" I say and then pull him for one last kiss.
Momoko's P.O.V.
"There's so many sweets here" my eyes dazzling.
"Are all your teeth sweet teeth" Brick teases.
"I guess you could say that, look over there chocolate covered potato chips" I say pointing at the bag.
"Do you want some?" he asks cocking an eyebrow at me.
"Nah, it doesn't seem that good, look over there" I say dragging him over to a sweet shop.
"Here we go" he says rolling his eyes and I giggle. I'm sure he'd rather be doing something else maybe cuddling? He has been really patient maybe I should but, after I get this need of sweets out of my system.
15 minutes later…
"Look over there Brick" I say dragging him over to a gelato stand.
"What do you want this time?" he says with a heavy sigh as he pulls out his wallet.
"Strawberry please" I say with a smile.
"Are you her older brother?" a man at the stand says.
"No" we both say together and we look at each other and a smirk appears on Brick's face.
"We're a couple actually" Brick says and cups my chin and kisses me.
"I see here's your gelato and have a nice day" the man behind says from behind the counter holding it out to me and I take it. We take a walk by the pier in silence.
"That gelato was delicious" I say finally breaking the silence and take the last bite that was left.
"You know I didn't really get a taste" he says holding me close.
"Do you want to go back and get one?" I ask and he shakes his head.
"I'd don't want to I'd rather have it now but there's always the next best thing" he says and then grabs me. He starts to lean in and kisses me on the lips. It felt like we were there forever and then I feel his tongue slipping in. Not knowing what to do I push him away from me.
"Wh-what was that" I ask and then put my fingers to my lips.
"It was a French kiss, would you like another?" he says giving me a grin and my cheeks flame.
"No way you idiot" I scream at him but, I didn't mean it I was panicking kisses are suppose to be sweet not like that. At least that's what it's like in a lot of the shoujo manga I read. That kind of kiss just seems well, wrong to me. And me being the idiot I was ran from from him.
"Momoko wait up" he says running behind me right at my tail. He's so fast or maybe I'm just slow, Miyako's so lucky she got super speed.
"No way" I say speeding up. Why are these streets so steep? Why couldn't they just have all the streets flat? This is seriously killing my calfs. He started to slow down but I managed to keep my speed constant and I ran into one of the Roman Catholic Churches.
It was gorgeous stained glass windows, they had statues and paintings of saints, and the alter was decorated beautiful. "Momoko? I'm sorry if I offended you" I hear him say from behind.
"It's just well, that type of kiss I just don't like it" I say to him with a blush. I want my first relationship to be nice and sweet not nasty and salty.
"I'm sorry I was a little impatient" he says giving me a smile as he wraps his arms around me and starts to lean in.
"Wait" I say blocking my lips from his.
"What is it?" He asks impatiently.
"I'm only having you get one kiss a day" I say with a blush.
"No way" he says.
"Yes way I think we're moving a little to fast" I say looking downward.
"That's true I guess" he says and lets go of me. We sit down in one of the pews and admire the architect.
"Wouldn't it be wonderful to be married here?" I say with a smile to Brick and I take his hand.
"That depends who would you be marrying?" Brick asks.
"That depends who's giving me the ring" I say with a smile.
"Give me a second" he says and runs out of it. Is he getting me a ring?
"Back" I here him coming in. "Put out you're hand" he say and I do. He puts on a pink beaded ring the design had little hearts going around. "We could go back and go get a better one if you want?" He says after he puts it on.
"No" I say. "This is perfect" I say as I wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him.
"What happened to that kiss a day?" He asks with a smirk.
"Today is special now let's get going" I say grabbing his hand and drag him back to the hostel.
