"I'm the worst writer ever! But I'm not giving up on this story.
Thanks for your reviews and patience, It was hectic for about two years and I'm really disappointed in myself but I won't focus on the negativity because this is a fluffy/angsty?/romance story. I also wonder when I'll ever finish this piece. I'm 21 years old now almost reaching 22, my writing has matured for one tiny bit, I'm still childish and I love to joke around and perhaps you can see that in my story. I'm from the Netherlands yeah, that means uhm, actually nothing, whahaha!
Moving on, I know it's hard to wait for the next update, I also follow some stories that hasn't been updated for about three years and I'm sure that if that alone drives me crazy, I'm pretty sure that you people will be up on that wall of craziness because of my long time hiatus, or maybe you won't.
I hope that this is enough to keep a smile on your face and also on my face.
Thanks to the people who are still reading my work, I will do my best to create more awesomeness.
Don't forget to review, I really need it, how else would I know if it's a good story".

'Yes, you're able to read my mind.'
"Yes, I'm talking."

Chapter 4
I can't explain how it feels, but it's tearing me from inside.
I wanted to shout it out.
With Natsuki
She woke up feeling a little drowsy, still feeling dizzy from passing out.
'Uhm, what the freak?' squinting her eyes, still confused. She got up and looked around and felt amazed by the pictures on the wall "Wow, that's so cool".
'That's beautiful artwork, this must be Shizuru's room'. She found a picture of Shizuru and her Mom.
She also to her surprise found a picture of Shizuru and herself as little kids. Natsuki couldn't help but smile. 'I admit, we were pretty cute as kids and I can see why she called me cute, it's because I AM so damn cute'. Her eyes shone with barely concealed glee and changed into a much warmer shade.
'Shizuru's pretty cute too, why didn't I see that? 'How could I have been so blind, she wasn't that horrible to me, she was actually very nice and caring and I was a stupid jerk'.
A memory flashed through her eyes, the day Shizuru left for America, they were at the swings in the playground. That day, ironically, was pretty sunny for such a sad day, Natsuki was pushing Shizuru for the last time on the swings, Natsuki tried her best to cheer Shizuru up but her mood was getting contagious to Natsuki. "Baka-chan? You'll come back right?" Shizuru looked up and nodded solemnly "Of course I do, you know that I don't want to leave you" Shizuru jumped away from the swing. She walked towards Natsuki and held her hands "I know that you're not good at making friends and when I leave, you don't have anyone to talk to anymore, so I want you to promise me to make lots of friends so that you won't be alone, will you promise me?" She held up her pinkie. Natsuki's eyes grew moister until one teardrop managed to escape. "I will miss you, Shizuru and I promise to make more friends". Her pinkie shakes Shizuru's pinkie and Shizuru gave her a tight hug "I'll miss you more, Natsuki, let's go to our tree, where we first met". Her voice trembled heavily and her red eyes were glowing red.
They walked to the tree and they carved their initials in it, SF NK in a circle which means forever. But they didn't know that. Shizuru's Mom was waiting at the playground with Natsuki's Mom, they're leaving for the airport after they both have said their goodbye's to each other. It was time to go and Shizuru had one last request.
"May I get one goodbye kiss on the lips?" Natsuki blushed a bit but she couldn't deny her last request, she nodded "Yes". Shizuru kissed her and both of them felt a shock coursing through their body's and their hearts were pounding very hard. When their kiss ended they noticed each other in another light and they shyly met each other's gaze. "May I have a welcome back kiss on the lips when I'm back in Japan?" Shizuru blushed and looked down, Natsuki was red in her face but she nodded "Yes, but that's the only one exception, okay". Shizuru couldn't be happier, she couldn't wait to come back already. She gave Natsuki one last hug and walked backwards to her Mom.
"See you in the future, don't forget my promise and my welcome back gift" Shizuru said with twinkling eyes.
"Yeah, see you in the future too, I won't forget it" Natsuki yelled back.
The flashback ended. Natsuki's cheeks were wet. 'I remember now'.
...
With Shizuru before Natsuki woke up
She laid Natsuki on her bed and tucked her in with her blanket. She sat on the edge and took a moment to look at Natsuki. Her serene expression twitched for a second. Shizuru laughed inwardly 'How cute was that, you sleep like a baby'. She thought back to the moment where Natsuki passed out. Her heart stopped for like a second 'You scared me Natsuki, I'm afraid to cut this moment short, I wouldn't want you to pass out again because of me, you have no idea how much you mean to me'. She stood up and took a last glance at Natsuki and left the room quietly. She went downstairs and heard her mother talking excitedly. 'At least one of us is having fun'. She went into the kitchen and made some tea to calm down. She sulked for a bit 'Why did she pass out? Did she pass out because I'm ugly or did she pass out because I'm beautiful?' She chuckled 'No, don't even overthink it, I will find a way to get the truth out of the original source herself'. She smirked with this glint in her eyes.
She heard giggles from the living room and with her tea ready she strolled into the room.
What she heard stopped her in her tracks 'Photo-album of Natsuki'.
She sat down next to her mother in no time and what she saw was heart-warming.
Natsuki with her friends in elementary after she left for America. 'I knew she could do it' She sipped her tea. There were all pictures of her friends in some sort of karaoke bar, all dressed up.
Her birthday parties. Tanning at the beach 'Oh, I clearly missed out, I wish I was there'.
She pouted with a jealous look. Her mother watched her like a hawk. "Shizu-chan, don't be jealous, look at that picture, at that age she wasn't even filled out properly and now she is pretty much full grown". Shizuru rolled her eyes 'I didn't look at her body in that way, I'm not a pervert, at this moment that is'.
"That's not it mother, I just wish I could see her grow up into this beautiful woman that she is right now". Her mother understood her inner turmoil and patted her back.
"Oh, that can be arranged" Aunt Saeko replied. "I have caught her on tape too". She grinned with a conspiracy face.
"Really? Can I watch it?" She asked excitedly. 'Please, I really want to watch it'.
"Sure, I will bring it by sometime next week" Aunt Saeko winked.
"It seems like you're very lucky Shizu-chan" her mother nudged her playfully.
'Yes, lucky indeed'. "Oh, I probably should go to check up my lucky patient" she stood up and walked towards the stairs. 'I can't wait anymore, I want the truth now'.
Her mother and her friend had the same thought 'I think you mean checking her out'.
They giggled out of nowhere. Shizuru looked back at them 'What is with them? Did they drink something weird, I hope it's not the tea? Because I drank it'.
She reached her room in 10 seconds, took a deep breath because she didn't want Natsuki to faint again and she hoped that it was just a one-time thing. 'Here we go'.
She quietly opened the door into a crack and looked through it to see if Natsuki was still asleep. 'The bed is empty'. She pushed the door open and walked in.
The sight of Natsuki hugging their childhood picture was heart-warming, Natsuki had her eyes closed but she said "I'm really sorry for fainting on you Baka-chan" she smiled with her eyes open and put the picture back and turned towards Shizuru. Shizuru's blood flow was going faster and faster 'My stomach feels funny, I can't even say something right now'. She kept staring at Natsuki and Natsuki got much closer to her and raised her eyebrow. She grabbed my shoulder and looked me up and down.
"Shizuru? Are you okay? Are you mad at me, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to faint".
'You are killing me with your eyes, you're so beautiful and I think I'm going to die very peacefully if you don't let me go'.
Her emerald eyes were panicking and then she did something Shizuru didn't expected at all. '…..hmmm'.
Natsuki kissed her on her lips. Both of them felt the same kind of electric shock coursing through their bodies for the second time but this time they responded to it by holding each other very close and stroking each other's long hair. The kiss was short but they enjoyed it nonetheless and their sensors were tickled while touching each other's skin.
At the end of the kiss she said "Welcome back Shizuru" and Shizuru replied with a smile "Apology accepted".
'My welcome back kiss was such a mind blown kiss, I didn't expect that she would like it too, hmm someone has to be gay and I know I am, but Natsuki?
"I didn't think you would be into that but apparently you're into girls too, you can't kiss me like that and say that you're straight". Shizuru said with a straight face. 'I'm bluffing, please deny that you're straight please, god help me'.
Natsuki blushed immediately and stuttered "I-I'm not I'm not, straight" She looked down. She said the last word softly but Shizuru heard it clearly. 'Yes! Thank you, whoever you are'.
Shizuru cupped her chin and said "Me neither". Natsuki's head shot up and they smiled at each other very shyly.
...
During the kiss
Not aware of other occupants in the house, like their parents, who were thinking alike, they found it oddly quiet in the house 'Yep, they are making out'
they nudged each other playfully and looked further into the photo-album of Natsuki while sipping their tea.
...
AN: I wrote this while listening to electric shock from f(x), Listen to this song, I think I saw a Natsuki in their video.
It was fun to write after all this time. I'm not even depressed or whatever.
If I may ask you to review my story, flame it, compliment it, dislike it, like it or say nothing.
