Chapter 7: Triangles
Living with Irie was awful. Constantly his mum tried to set us up doing things together as she believed that we were made for each other despite our objections.I had met up with Kenji a few times after things with dad had calmed down he apologised for leaving the cafeteria he said jealousy caught up with him and he didn't want to make me upset. Spending time with Kenji made me forget about my injured dad and having to live with the cold bastard. Irie still insisted on having our tutoring sessions which pissed me off as spending time with him made me angry due to his harsh attitude to life.
"You! Focus!" I didn't even have a name to him anymore it was either 'you' or 'monkey' and the new one was 'shit brain' however he only said this when it was just us.
"I am focussing, my name is Kotoko for the last time!" I growled angrily at him he smacked the ruler on my head before barking more instructions at me.
"Never talk back to the Sensei!" I hated him so much I was positive that I had never hated someone so much in my entire life. Everyday passed like this when I had only an hour with Kenji per day
which kept me going. My friends also helped me too they understood my situation and Kin Chan had apologised for his past behaviour however he was still wildly obsessed with me.
"Hey you, cheer up please." Kenji stroked my hair. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes, letting out a long breath.
"I'm trying."
"I know Irie is not the easiest guy to get along with if it wasn't for Irie's mother I would have taken you to my house already but I know she would never let you go." I smiled thinking about the fanatic
Mrs Irie.
"You know I've been wanting to do something for a while." Slowly he lifted up my chin and planted the softest of kisses on my lips it was sweet and made my heart flutter around inside my body.
"You look so cute when you blush." I blushed even more at his comment and as I did he suddenly pushed me back on to the wall and kissed me again. However this was a passionate kiss filled with all of his feelings for me I accepted them gratefully as his tongue slipped into my mouth and I greeted it with my own swirling around inside our mouths. The intensity grew more and more his hands were running all over my body brushing over my arse and my breasts I squirmed a bit when he touched them. We broke away to giggle at each other before continuing our steamy make out session this was the first time I had kissed a boy like this and it felt so good the heat seething through my body was incredible. After a few more minutes we broke apart to regain our breath from then onwards we walked hand in hand to the train station. As we approached the platform where we would be going our separate ways Kenji grabbed both of my hands.
"Kotoko I now realise how intense my feelings really are for you; so would you consider becoming my girlfriend?" Kenji looked down with embarrassment but continued to hold my hands. I replied by kissing him again and smiling before walking off to my train as I got on the train I turned to see him touching his lips smiling. This was perfect.
"What are you so happy about shit face?" Irie used a new nick name for me.
"Oh nothing.." I giggled happily even Irie's coldness wasn't bugging my mood.
"Let me guess you scored high on a test?" I shook my head suddenly Irie's phone buzzed.
"You're Kenji's girlfriend?!" Irie jumped up looking at his phone I stepped back slightly my heart pounding in my chest.
"Ur..yeah so?" I tried to act casual. Irie just shook his head before storming to his bedroom. What was wrong with him?
The next few days were strange instead of insulting me like he always did Irie completely blanked me every time he saw me and had cancelled every one of our tutoring sessions. I talked to Kenji about it but he said Irie seemed his usual self around school. Why was he acting this way towards me? Had he just had enough of me once and for all? I decided to go and visit dad in the hospital I hadn't been for a few days; I was dying to see him.
"Hiya Dad. How are you feeling today?" It had been 3 weeks since the accident and my dad's test results for his brain had come back negative meaning there was no brain damage.
"I'm alright thank you gorgeous just painful that's all." His consciousness had come back after 2 weeks and now he could speak normally without any difficulties.
"Good I've been worried about you; sorry I haven't visited more often." I looked down feeling guilty.
"Please don't worry I'm glad you're here now there's nothing for you to worry about everything with the restaurants is going superb and the Irie's are taking excellent care of you." I smiled back at dad seeing him so happy made my heart melt.
"The nurse said today that if I keep improving like this then I will have another month before I can leave which is good news!" Another month in that household I might die.
I stayed with dad for a few hours before returning home on my way back I walked up the street when suddenly someone grabbed my arm and pulled me into an alley. I looked up to see Irie which really pissed me off how could he not speak to me for days and then just treat me like this he was horrible all my past feelings for him were once and truly gone. Kenji and I had been dating for a week now and he was still acting like this.
"What the fuck do you want?!" I hissed at him.
"How dare you just ignore me and then treat me like this just leave me alone!" Irie had no reaction he just stared down at me.
"You only love me." I was shocked to hear this. How did he know that I had feelings for him, that were now gone.
"What?! How can you say this?!"
"I've read the letter." He saw my confession letter no way I threw it away ages ago.
"You couldn't have!"
"I've seen it and read it."
"Prove it."
"Dearest Irie, I know you may not know who I am but I know you and you I would just like to say that you are the only star in my sky,"
"STOP!"
"Like I said you only love me so how can you date Kenji?" I was thrown completely off guard where was this coming from?
"I love Kenji he makes me feel good and he cheers me up." Irie began to laugh.
"You think he's the only one that listens to your problems who sat with you everyday and listened to the tales of you two, who set you both up?" I gasped in shock it had all been Irie.
"It doesn't make a difference I have no feelings for you whatsoever."
"You sure about that?" Irie smiled.
"100%!"
"Let's see." Suddenly he pinned me against the wall and kissed me sweetly before pulling away and walking back to the house. All I could do was fall to the ground in shock could it be? Had Irie really just kissed me?
