Chapter 7
Two weeks had passed since me and Moka became an official couple. I found himself lying in my bed, deep in thought over the current events of my life. But, for once I wasn't frustrated, I was actually happy with all that happened in the last few days. Moka was my girlfriend.
I liked everything about her. She was smart, funny, and intelligent, even. Though, she can be a little stubborn, but that's exactly what I like about her. She wasn't the type to back down from a fight, even when she loses a battle.
After the day, we slept together, the two of us agreed to take things slow, for a while at least. There was a little problem, I didn't tell her about; my fiancée. I still haven't gotten over her, since the day she died. I remembered perfectly clear. All those times, we'd go out to eat, go to the movies, or anything that's fun. Every single memory, I had of my fiancée became a slight blur, ever since Moka stepped foot in my life.
I figured the best thing to do was continue being her friend, who just so happens to like her a lot. I made sure to do things, I thought a boyfriend should do. Like open doors for her, walk her home, make sure she was happy all the time if possible, listen to her and be there when she needed me.
I had already informed to my dad, that we were dating, including my sisters. When they heard the news, they were ecstatic. My sister, Yuzu was happy and excited, that I found someone and Karin, of course was happy for me. My dad, suggested that I'd invite her over, for dinner tomorrow, since he and my sister, Karin never met her.
The first weekend as an official couple, I openly suggested we'd go on a real date. I honestly thought, that the movie night didn't count, since there were a few problems that interfered. I thought it would be nice to have a real date, that consisted of just the two of us. Of course, Moka was happy at the thought. First, the two of us decided that we'd go to a nice restaurant to at least eat something, before doing anything else.
"This is a really nice restaurant, you picked out. I didn't know you had better taste in choosing restaurants that's more appropriate and polite, unlike the others I've been to." Moka said, looking around the italian restaurant. She was geedy and happy, that I had chosen one of her favorite restaurant. I was sure that nothing else, but her being happy didn't matter...but this...
Me, however, was feeling uneasy and quite irritated that some of the guys in the restaurant, were looking over at our table. I was pretty sure, that they were looking over here at Moka and her only. I wanted to grab Moka and run out of this place as fast as I could, but I realized, that I had chosen this restaurant myself and I don't want to risk ruining our date.
Okay, Ichigo. Just ignore it. Moka is your girlfriend, so it shouldn't be a problem for you. A few moments later, the two of us were talking and laughing with one another. I started to feel comfortable around Moka, seeing that she was enjoying herself a lot. I didn't really care, how much the guys were staring, now. I just cared about Moka. That's all. I felt the jealous looks and glares burn through my body from other men. I smirked, when an idea popped in my head.
I twisted up half of my spaghetti with my fork. "Moka, open up." I said, putting the fork, full of spaghetti to her lips. She, of course accepted it into her mouth, without a problem. I was laughing on the inside at my slight victory to make the men jealous.
Next, we decided to go to the park and enjoy a nice sunny day. I figured I would plan something romantic at least. I lied there on the grass, my hands resting behind my head. I slightly flinched, when I felt another weight crawl on top of me. I looked down to see a mass of pink hair, scattered over my chest. I heard a slight giggle come from the girl as she looked up at me, with a beautiful smile. She was no longer using the smile as her mask. This was her smile. Her real smile, that I wanted to see.
I was happy, that I made her smile. With the way things were going, I thought nothing could go wrong. But soon everything that I had ever planned, went down the drain along with the rain that began to fall. We wasted no time bolting to our feet and running in search of cover. Standing in front of a bakery, I held her tightly. I felt her shiver in my arms. She was cold. But soon I found myself staring into her beautiful emerald eyes. Even with her bangs stuck to her wet face, I still thought she was beautiful. Holding her closely, I brushed her hair away and leaned down to kiss her. Pressing my lips to hers in a gentle kiss, I ran a hand through her wet hair and gently held her still as I explored her mouth. I felt her fingers press against my chest, but soon crept up to the back of my neck, holding onto me as well.
I took the lead, deepening the kiss between the two of us, I felt her lips part, granting me the access I desired. My tongue twitched against hers, brushing against her curiously. My thumb rubbed against her face as the kiss deepened and she started to moan a little into my mouth. I felt her hand against my shirt and started to press against my stomach, running her fingers over my stomach. I groan at the sensation of her touch. I was starting to love the feel of her lips against mine, it was a feeling that I never would have experienced again. It was intense, that my heart was racing, my blood was pumping and making my body want more of her.
Just as I was placing my hands on her hips, I felt her pull away. I watched her breathed in and out heavily, obviously out of breath. I watched her smile shyly at me. "We should head home. Salem is probably worried about us."
I could only chuckle. Her little puppy... how can I forget? "Sure. No problem." I said, wrapping an arm around her shoulders.
I plopped down on the couch, already changed in comfortable clothes. Today was amazing. I never thought rain would kick itself into my plans, like that. I knew it was every girl's dream to be kissed in the rain. But so far, Moka seemed to have enjoyed the whole day together, thanks to watching those cheesy, romance movies, of course. I smiled, when I heard little pitter patter of claws make its way to my ears. I looked over towards the owner of the noise and found Salem, looking up towards me, her little head cocked to the side. I could only chuckle. I picked her up with both of my hands, sitting her on my chest. "Hey, there, little one. How you doing?" I greeted, softly petting her fur. She acknowledged, licking my hand. "Moka doesn't know how lucky she is, to have you as her pet. You always understand people, like you do with Moka. I hope you'll always be there for her, whenever I'm not around sometimes." I whispered, softly scratching her fur. I flinched in surprise, when I heard a giggle from somewhere. There stood Moka, wearing a blue, plaid long-sleeved button up shirt, her pink hair in a messy bun.
"Well, this is certainly a pleasant moment. Am I interrupting?" she teased.
"No. We were just finishing up." I teased, setting Salem down on her four feet.
"Good..." she smiled. She nearly caught me off guard, when she climbed herself on top of me. "Because I'm taking over this moment, now." she smiled, leaning down towards my lips.
I gladly accepted her kiss.
Short chapter. I know, but I'll try to make a longer one.
