/Kotone's Narration/
"Ah, what a beautiful day it was. Even though it is past 2 in the afternoon, the weather is so nice!" I stretched my arms as I watched Hana and (F/N)-chin playing on the beach. Hana was wearing a yellow one piece swimwear, while (F/N)-chin was wearing a red two piece swimsuit. They have both beautiful body, but all of the guys were staring and eyeing for (F/N)-chin. She really has a nice sexy body, plus red really looked good on her. She really is beautifully. As expected for my best friend, but I really wanted to poke those disgusting eyes. Ah, why did Hana let her wear that?! And also "YOU MISTER!" I punched Inukai who was sitting beside me and also one of those perverts eyeing on (F/N)-chin
"What?!" he retorted but his eyes were still fixed on her
"Stop looking at (F/N)-chin with perverted eyes! If I can just cover her body"
"Then do it. Hana will be mad at you. Also" I looked at him and his eyes, really! "It is a nice view"
I knew it, Inukai too. He was one of those stupid perverts! But why did we end up to this?
/few hours ago/
"So it's the 17th today. Tomorrow will be your birthday, (F/N)-chin" I excitedly said but she was no energy and her head was resting on Inukai's shoulder. Inukai was my friend since High school, and I was the one who introduced (F/N)-chin to him. He also confessed to her once, but (F/N)-chin still likes her ex-boyfriend. And speaking of boyfriend, (F/N)-chin never said his name, nor what happened. She just said that she had a boyfriend, and it was obvious that she still liked him. But, sorry (F/N)-chin, I accidentally found about it "What's wrong, (F/N)-chin?"
"Tomorrow is my birthday, then again, I'll celebrate it alone" she replied "I don't need to work, but you guys have work. What a lonely birthday again this year?!"
"What are you saying? We will celebrate again tomorrow. After work" Inukai scolded her
"Then, why don't we go and play on the beach?" Hana suddenly popped out of nowhere "Since we are not that busy today because of the event near here. I can ask mother to let us play until 6pm"
"Then ask her!" (F/N)-chin excitedly said
"Okay, in one condition. You'll wear the swimsuit I gave you last year, okay?" Hana winked at her and she hurriedly ran to find owner. And yes, she said yes!
/present time/
"Kotone-chan, we're planning to go back to the hotel now. I'm having goosebumps around" (F/N)-chin came towards us. Woah! Her body was really sexy. The water droplets were covering and running through her edges, it was kind of erotic to see
"I understand. Let's go" we stood up and I clung on (F/N)-chin's arms. We could feel the eyes of the people looking at her
"(F/N)-chan!"
"Satsuki-chan?" (F/N)-chin called the pink haired-girl waving at her. She was wearing a pink two piece swimsuit and a light blue parka. She was one of those university guys who booked our 3rd and 4th floor, approximately two weeks ago. She ran towards us, and behind her, was Kise Ryota, one of those university students that was with her
"You don't have work today?" she asked as she throw herself to hug (F/N)-chin
"No, we have free time until 6pm"
"Then where are you going now?" Kise asked her
"We're on our way back to hotel. I think the time we spent on the beach was enough"
"Then, why don't you come with us and watch our game?" eh? Since when was he standing there?! Who was he?!
"NICE Kurokocchi!"
"Game?" Hana asked in curiously
"Actually, near here there's a street basketball that Akashi-kun's father told us to participate" the guy named Kuroko explained
"Basketball, huh?" (F/N)-chin seemed worried "What do you think?"
"Well, I'm fine" Hana answered and Inukai agreed too
"I am fine, but let (F/N)-chin change"
"It is fine like that. If she change, she will not see the start of the game" Kise responded "Besides, the people watching the basketball are all wearing swimsuits, so it is fine"
"Well then, let's go!" Momoi pulled me and (F/N)-chin and excitedly ran towards the street basketball
On the way, (F/N)-chin was busy talking to Momoi. We were just following them
When we arrived, I could easily feel most of the eyes of the guys automatically looked at (F/N)-chin
"Akashi-kun, we're back!" Momoi called Akashi-sama who was talking to his team mates, the team mates who arrived last week. The students who occupied the 3rd floor
"Eh? Why did I suddenly feel a cold ambiance?" Hana hugged me and she was right "You are right, do you feel it too, (F/N)?"
"(L/N)?" When Inukai called her, it was then her senses came back. We could feel that she was sort of dazing off "Are you okay?"
"I'm sorry, Akashicchi!" we turned our head to Kise who apologized so loud
"Kise-kun probably did something that made Akashi-sama mad" I chuckled and Hana and Inukai agreed on me. But (F/N)-chin was still feeling tensed
Probably, I could only feel my heart beating from my boyfriend, but never to other couple. However, in this kind of situation, I could see (F/N)-chin's face became really red. I giggled from this situation
"Here, wear this" Akashi-sama approached her and lent her wear his Jersey jacket. "Be conscious with what you wear and to the people around you" (F/N)-chin got the jacket from him and he waited for her to wear it fully.
"Thank you. I'll wash it later, and return it to you"
"No it is fine. You can return it even if you don't wash it" he responded and went back to his team
(F/N)-chin's face became really red and she cuddled to me. I could feel her whole body became so hot.
I didn't know if (F/N)-chin watched the whole game, but her whole body was trembling, and her face looked like she was about to cry
When the game ended, well, it was fun! Akashi-sama and his team won! In which team, it was Kise and the others! We went to congratulate them
"Akashi-sama! Congratulations!" Hana excitedly said "I'll tell our chef to give you a delicious meal later!"
"Then we'll accept your offer" Akashi-sama smiled! Woah!
"Neh, neh, (F/N)-chin, do you have maiobu?" Murasakibara approached (F/N)-chin
"Eh?" she seemed shocked to his question
"I just remember you. You are that person, right? Who always give me snacks when we were in middle school?" eh? I thought (F/N)-chin only knew Akashi-sama when she was in high school, middle school?!
"Ah, yeah. I have snacks on my room, like maiobu. I can give them to you."
"You still have those snacks?"
"Don't worry, I received them this month. It is not that I received them when I was studying" (F/N)-chin retorted
"We should go back now. (L/N), you need to prepare also later, right?" Inukai reminded us
"Ah, you are right. I'm in charge for the dinner tonight!" (F/N)-chin panicky said
"Then let's go. Again, congratulations everyone!" Hana waved at them
"Murasakibara-kun, I'll give you the snacks later" after telling about the snack, (F/N)-chin turned to Akashi-sama and she became tensed again "I'll wash this and give it to you later. Thank you very much!"
"You can give it to me anytime." Akashi-sama, he looked so calm, but he was so tensed too
We bowed down and went back to the hotel.
/Later that day-Past 10:00pm-(F/N)'s narration/
"Ahhhh, I'm so tired!" I threw myself on my bed. I wanted to sleep but somehow I was so nervous. It was then, someone rang the doorbell. When I opened, it was Kotone-chan "What's up?" I asked her, and she was holding her things
"Want to take a bath together? Though in your bathroom"
"Come in" I told her and she giggled
"In the end, you washed Akashi-sama's jacket" she approached the jacket that was hanged outside my cabinet "He told you it is fine, right?"
I tied my hair up and answered "I just wanted to give it back clean" while entering the bathroom
I took off my yukata and underneath was my white undergarment. I also took it off and entered the shower
"(F/N)-chin's body is really beautiful. If I am guy, I'll go attack you now" Kotone-chan also entered and joined me in the shower. She was really little
"Please, refrain from your sexual harassment. I'll tell your boyfriend" I told her and entered the bath tub
"Well, he will agree with me. Since he did like you, right?" she chuckled and also entered the bath tub "By the way, (F/N)-chin, when are you going to give the jacket back to Akashi-sama?"
I looked outside the window and I could see the stars "Well, I don't know. But somehow, today I am so nervous."
"Not just today, (F/N)-chin, since Akashi-sama and his friends came, you looked so tense and so nervous. I don't blame you though, seeing your ex-boyfriend that you haven't seen from a long time, of course you would feel tensed" she was right, ever since… wait! I looked at Kotone-chan and she was smiling at me, how did she know?! "You might be wondering how I knew, right?" she sighed and played with the toy duck on my bath tub "Sorry, I accidentally saw your red box on your cabinet. When you asked me to get my yukata on your cabinet. It fall off and saw the things inside. I saw the picture of you and Akashi-sama. You were holding a ball and he was hugging you from the back."
"Kotone-chan" I couldn't believe it! I never mentioned anyone about him, I only mentioned that I had a relationship before. They were telling me to move on, but it was obvious that I couldn't
"(F/N)-chin, make a choice that you will never regret later." She stood up and I could see the water dripping on her body "I'll go out first"
She told me to take a bath together, then leaving me alone. But what should I do? She was right. I should make a choice that I would never regret
I stood up and sighed. "Yosh!"
I went to put on my clothes but to my surprise "KOTONE-CHAN!"
"Wear that for tonight as my birthday gift!" she said and I just heard the door closed.
My yukata was here, but my undergarments were changed. They became red with laces! "What the heck is this?!" I sighed in defeat and just wear these things. Plus it was a gift from Kotone-chan. Time to time I couldn't say no to her
When I went out of the bathroom, I sat down in front of my mirror and let down my long (h/c) hair. I combed it slowly but my eyes had a glimpse on Akashi's jacket
"Why do I feel that if I don't give it back to him now, I'll regret it in the future?" I put my eyeglass and looked at myself on the mirror and just stared for a moment. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath "Everything will be fine. Just give it to him then leave, okay?!" I stood up and got the jacket. I folded it cleanly and gathered all my courage and went to the room across mine.
I was standing here and ringing the doorbell for a while now, but it seemed he was already asleep. I was about to leave when
"(F/N)? What are you doing there?" I looked on my right and saw a pile of papers in front of me. But I recognize his voice and I clearly saw his red hair. He was wearing a black t-shirt and gray sweat pants
"I'm here to give your jacket back" I answered "Should I help you carry those?" I asked and he just shook his head
"No, I am fine. But can you open the door? Here's the key" he told me and I got the key from his hand. I opened the door and let him enter. I just stood on the door and waited for his next words. "Just put the key and jacket anywhere. I told that you can give it back anytime" he said as he put down the pile of papers beside the TV.
As if I could tell him that I might regret something if I didn't give his jacket back, but the words just came out of my mouth "Then I'll put it here." I put his jacket and key on the table near the door "I was thinking of talking to you, but you are kind of busy, so I'll leave for now"
I turned around and about to walk away when I felt my whole body being pulled back. It was then I just realized, that Akashi's arms were around me. I could feel his body on my back. My heart raced so fast, and I felt really nervous. My whole body trembled, and I could hear the beating of my heart so fast and so loud
"I have a feeling that if we don't talk now, I'll regret it. We can talk now, (F/N)" he said on my ear. I wanted to cry, I wanted to hug him, I wanted to look straight to his eyes, and I want to kiss him "(F/N), I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to know what happened. I don't know if I'm going to let go of you and forget about you, or do any mean to get you back. (F/N), what should I do?"
Perhaps the sayings that action speaks louder than words was true. I tightly clenched on Akashi's arms, my tears gradually ran down on my cheeks. I shut my eyes and told him "I'm sorry, Akashi! I'm sorry, for what I've done. It was my fault. I couldn't do all my promises. And I can't stay by your side. But I am a greedy person, I don't want you to forget me. I don't want you to let go of me. Because, because, even I didn't see you, after all these years, I still love you" my voice was stuttering that I didn't know if I said it correctly
I felt that he freed himself from me. His body moved away. Well it was expected, right? It was all over
"(F/N)," I opened my eyes and he was standing in front of me. I couldn't see him very well, my tears were blocking the view, plus my eyeglass too became cloudy "I don't know why we can't be together, but now I confirm that we have still the same feelings for each other, I will never let you go" he took off my eyeglass and wiped away my tears and his face moved closer and closer, and the lips and sensation that I longed for years, the sweetness and intense of his tongue, it was all happening again. The true feelings that was shared, the craving of each other, again it was all confirmed through this long sweet kiss.
