Preview of last chapter (since I know it took me forever to update...)
"Usui…I," she stopped and frown before continuing, she wanted to do it right after all. "You've been wonderful; you've been all that I ever wanted. I love you with all my heart, you are my world." She smiled at him as tears threaten to pour.
"Hayden…"
"But that's exactly why I need to let you go," her voice was broken by now, tears flooding fluently from her eyes and the hold of his hand was stronger. "Usui, you deserve better. I do not want you to keep on like this." She smiled at him, a sweet smiled that was breaking his heart right now. "Usui I'm going to die, I just know it. It isn't fair to ask you to stay here and carry this burden with you. I love you too much. So please, please don't come again.
As she released his hand, he held it strong and made her look at him, right into his eyes. He smiled at her and held her close. "If that's what you want, I will," he whispered into her ear, "however I am a selfish man and I want you to grant me one more wish."
Hayden struggled as she breathed a soft "what"
Usui grinned and whispered slowly, let each word hang longer, "go on a date with me."
Her sobs became louder as she went closer to Usui despite feeling the tugging of the breathing tubes. "One last date." she whispered as she finally came into account that this was really it, there was only going to be one last day and soon they will never see each other again. She hated herself but she knew very well that it was going to be for the better.
Usui smiled and held her close too, refusing to let go of her as he knew that their time was counted. Taking a deep breath and forcing himself to do it, he slowly direct her back to lying and soon let go of her.
"Sleep a little longer. I'll be here, holding your hand" he grinned as he lie down just next to her and held her hand just as promised.
Hayden grinned at him, "I know you will, Takumi." She let out a small giggle and closed her eyes. Soon she was sound asleep and it was then
Chapter 6:
"You are awake, good."
Scared and very disoriented, she opened her eyes to find that a piece of white clothing was tied up around her eyes. Quickly, Hayden raised her hands and tried deseperatly to take it off until she was stop by soft hands that held her hands quiet strongly.
"You don't want to ruin the surprise, do you?"
Finally recognizing the voice, she relax a little. It was Usui after all, and if Usui was here, it was probably safe. Probably.
"Takumi...w-what is this?" she asked, her voice husky from the lack of usage and the fact that she had just woken up.
"Shhh," he whispered back, "like I told you. You don't want to ruin the surprise do you?"
Hayden chuckled and sighted to then relax on the rather comfortable seats. "Really," she breathed, "you are such a weirdo."
A chuckle came from her left, "Sure, why not." She then felt how his hand held hers and after that they remain quiet for the rest of the trip. Both of them smiling.
The car stopped and Usui went closer to Hayden, "We are here," he whispered in her ear, barely touching it in a teasing manner. "Wait a second." Hayden heard the door open and then close, silence and then the door next to her opened again, Usui's hand was holding hers again. "Come up, we don't have time to lose."
Usui guided Hayden blindfolded for what seem forever, especially since Hayden refused to walk fast since she could not see where she was going or where was she. After a while, they stopped and Usui held her from behind, his mouth was directly next to her ear.
"Remember that time where we hang out in the lounge that's next to our house, the one on our floor?" he asked in a whisper.
Hayden chuckled as she laced her hands on Usui's, "we hang out there quite a lot of times. Try to be more specific."
The chuckle was returned. "That time that you cooked this beautiful dinner, which I still have no idea why since you still refuse to tell me why," he stopped a little in hope of her telling her, but there was no reply other than a light blush that Usui enjoyed very much, "but you end up burning it and we end up eating pizza."
The blush in her cheeks grew as the memory flooded in both their mind, of course that Hayden would remember that time, as it was the day she had decided to confess her love for Usui.
"We were half drunk from wine and we end up talking quiet a lot of things," he chuckled as the memory invaded his mind and he enjoyed it, "including the perfect date."
It was kind of annoying having forgotten completely that part of the night and she could not help but wonder if Usui was just creating it all on the spot. Did they even drank alcohol? "So, what was my perfect date, Takumi?" she questioned.
Usui chuckled and finally took out the blindfold that was preventing her from seeing what was happening, and was very satisfied with her reaction. The newly forming tears, the gasp, the hands on her mouth in disbelief but what was the best of all was the expression that she had.
"This is..." Hayden trailed off as a single tear finally fell and Usui guided her to the fabric that was neatly expand near the river, candles on the middle and what looked like food placed in the side near the wine cups.
"Come on," he smiled and held her hand again to then lead her to sit down. "Like it?" He asked, still looking at her.
Hayden snorted and then look at Usui, "of course I like it." She smiled and lean forward to kiss him. "You did a great job, thank you Takumi."
Smiling he then chuckled, "Misaki helped," he confessed, "I wasn't exactly sure what to buy and how to place things." Usui turned to look at Hayden and tilted his head at the new face she was making. "Hayden?"
Turning to look at Usui, she smiled at him once and then looked away, "Takumi," she began, "what if I ask you to never talk to Ayuzawa again, would you do it?"
Confused, Usui went to sit just next to Hayden and held her face gently but firmly, they were now looking at each other directly on the eyes. "No." Hurt was evident on her face, she opened her mouth to try to say something but failed to formulate words. "Hayden, you know I despite jealousy. I thought you knew that by now. I will not act on a girl's jealously, however if you have any other thing against Ayuzawa I would love to hear it."
She remained quiet, unable to look at him on the eyes anymore. "I'm sorry Takumi" she whispered. Usui released her, his serious face was now softer, he leaned forward and kiss her forehead. "Remember, tonight it's our night. It's okay."
Hayden smiled and nodded, "tonight you are mine, but after tonight you are free," she remind him and he nodded. After that, Usui reached for the food and the wine cups, he served the steak and the water.
The rest of the night went along like a sweet dream, Usui being more than a gentleman, always sweet and attentive. Hayden had actually fallen asleep while watching the stars after eating. If it wasn't for the time, he would had stay just a little longer, but he had promised the doctor to bring her back not later than 12, which meant he was late.
After laying Hayden back into her bed, he checked in the hotel that was next to the hospital, he couldn't go back to his house as the emptiness would engulf and slowly kill him inside. Little did he know that their time spend in their date would be one of the last ones.
AN:I know, this sucks to no end. I could not write this chapter, I tried a couple of times, got frustrated, forgot about it, tried again a couple days later and since none of the versions sounded good, i gave up and uploaded the 'best' one. I must confess that I had it ready for a couple weeks, but I was so disappointed of this that i refused to upload it and I was thinking of discontinuating this story. But since Im so near the end I found it stupid to do so. I'm sorry its so much about Hayden, I promise you guys thats this will be about the last time, so please bear with me. I promise you guys that I will update soon and the next will include Misaki, hurt/comfort plus and background information about Hayden and Usui relationship, i think.
As always tell me of any mistakes.
