Madoka couldnt believe what happened right now. This had to be some weird dream or something happening in another parallel universe. Did Ginga really kiss her? Even though she witnessed it a few moments ago, it was rather hard to believe. She had a feeling, as if her lips were burning, still feeling the hot touch of his warm and hard lips against hers. She never felt that confused in her hole life! A small part of her brain, that one, which was still thinking rationally, told her to go back home.
She didnt even feel the cold rain or strong wind any longer. Madoka was relieved, that she had the house keys with her, this way, she didnt have to face her father like this: with a burning red face and completely soaked. She looked like someone, who went through a mansoon rain!
Her father was working downstairs, in the beyblade shop. Madoka hurried to her room and took dry clothes. Then she went to the bath room to have a shower. Her brain was still not willing to accept what happened. Why did Ginga kiss her? That didnt make sense at all! After all he rejected her love confession. And Ginga wasnt the type of guy, who would do something like that for no reason, right? Madoka didnt know, what to think about it...could she dare to get her hopes up?
But then she remembered, what he said, right after he kissed her.
So, you have finally stopped.
His words kept spinning in her head. Well, it was true, she stopped crying, when he suddenly kissed her.
All at once Madoka felt as if her world stopped. Did Ginga only kiss her to prevent her fom crying? Or to prove something? No...that couldnt be true! Ginga wasnt that sort of guy, right? But why did he do it then? Because he liked her? Madoka felt her heart pounding inside her chest.
I wonder how Ginga really feels about me...does he only see me as friend? She thought confused.
No, I have to stop doing that! I cant get my hopes up! He told you clearly, that he doesnt love you!
Im over it! Im dating Tsubasa now! Oh dear, how was she supposed to face him, after what happened today? Madoka felt really bad. Tsubasa was always so kind and caring towards her.
She didnt deserve someone like him... Though it wasnt her fault, what happened today! After all, she didnt ask Ginga to do that! He totally surprised her, when he did so. Still she coudnt deny the fact, that she kissed him back. Even though she didnt want to...
Sighing, Madoka turned the water off and went out of the shower. She dried her hair and put her pajamas on. Her head was starting to hurt her, because of all the pondering. She felt totally confused about todays accidents. Quietly she walked back to her room. Her father had turned off the lights down stairs, which meant, that he already went to sleep. All Madoka wanted, was to get some rest. So she layed down in her bed. Rather unconciously she touched her cheek, the place, where Tsubasa kissed her a few hours ago. The place was prickling. But it was no comparison to how, she felt after Ginga kissed her. The touch of his lips was still present. Her lips felt, as if they were on fire. Her heart beats incresed rapidly again and she felt her face blush, remembering the kiss.
Madoka took a pillow and pressed it against her face. Stop that! Stop thinking about it! She thought angrily. She wondered how Ginga felt about it. Was it bothering him as much as her?
She never expected him to do such a thing! Not even in her dreams! Maybe what happened today was a dream! That would make much more sense, she thought sleepy. She yawned and stared at the ceiling of her room. After a while, she fell fast asleep.
The next morning Madoka woke up late. She hadnt been able to sleep well. She was glad that today was weekend. Sleepy she went downstairs, in order to have a quick breakfast. Surprised she realized, that they had guests. Her father was talking to someone inside the kitchen. Madoka stood in front of the kitchen door, hesitating if she should enter. What if it was Tsubasa? Recently he came quite often to the B-Pit to see her. Normally Madoka was happy to see him, but right now she didnt know how to face him. Carefully she listened to the voices inside. It was a female voice her father was talking to, Madoka realized relieved.
She smiled, when she recognized Hikarus voice.
Hey, Madoka! Finally you are up! Hikaru greeted her good-tempered, as Madoka entered.
Its already noon, you know?
Madoka ignored her teasing comment and took a cup from the cupboard. She really needed coffee today. She felt so tired.
Good-morning, her father said in a worried tone. Are you alright, dear? Do you feel sick? He asked her. It was rather unusal to see Madoka wake up so late and she didnt look so well.
He touched her forehead, checking her tempertaure. It was okay.
Im fine, Madoka assured. I just couldnt sleep well last night!
Hmmm...her father wasnt that convinced. I made some rice balls, he told her. They are in the fridge and please eat some fruits. They are good for your health!
Okay, Madoka smiled. She wasnt used to her father, taking so much care of her. Did she really look that bad?
Dont worry, Mr. Amano, Hikaru said. I will make sure, that Madoka has a proper breakfast!
Im fine guys, you dont have to worry! Madoka said. She took the plate with the rice balls from the fridge and started eating. Are you leaving? Madoka asked her father, when she saw him take his tool box.
Yes,sorry! I already had breakfast. And there is an important client waiting for me. I didnt want to wake you up, since I saw, that you are so tired. I will see you later, okay?
Sure, Madoka muttered.
Ah, before I forget, to tell you, Ginga was here this morning! Her father remembered. He came to take his bey!
Madoka started coughing. She nearly choked over the rice ball, she had been eating. Quickly she took a sip from her coffee.
Hikaru frowned, she she saw that. But she didnt say something.
H-he was? Madoka asked blushing. That really surprised her. Somehow she didnt expect that.
Did he ask for me?
Yes, he did. I told him, that you were still sleeping. Her father said.
I see...Madoka didnt know, what to think about it. She stared at the cup inside her hands.
Then, Im going! Bye! Her father headed to the door.
Bye!
Good-bye Mr. Amano!
They heard the entrance door closing behind him.
What is this all about? Hikaru asked, looking with suspicion at Madoka.
Eh? What do you mean? Madoka played innocent. She didnt look up.
Come on, do you really think, that I didnt notice your reaction, when your father mentioned Ginga? What happened?
Madoka sighed, looking depressed. For some reasons, she didnt feel like talking about it. It was strange, even though Hikaru was such a good friend.
Did you guys fight?
Madoka shook her head. Her heart was hurting her. She didnt know what to do. Why did he kiss her? What was the meaning behind this kiss? Did he really do it just to stop her crying? Did he kiss her without any feelings?
Madoka didnt expect him to come to the B-Pit today, not after what happened yesterday. She thought, that he would avoid her again. Just like he did, after her love confession. Doesnt his behavior today show, that he didnt bother it much? Madoka thought, feeling desperate. She felt the pain inside her chest getting stronger. Maybe I am the only bothering it...
Madoka? Hikaru was feeling worried now. She never saw her friend looking that depressed before.
Hey, if you dont want to talk about it, that is fine with me! I didnt mean to push you...
No! you are not...please dont misunderstand! Madoka opposed. She really didnt know, how to explain it.
What would you do, if someone you liked, did something weird? She asked blushing. She didnt want to say, what happened. And you have no idea, why he did so?
Well, if I dont understand it, then I would simply ask. Hikaru said smiling.
Ask him? Madoka was astonished. That sounded so easy.
Yes...Why not? If you cant find an explanation for it, then you have to ask for one!
Hmm...yeah maybe, you are right!
Hey and if you need someone to talk to , I will be always there for you!
Madoka felt the pain in her chest getting less. She smiled at Hikaru.
Thank you, Hikaru! You are a true friend! She hugged her.
Of course, I am! She giggled and hugged her back.
oOo
Oh, that reminds me! I almost forgot the reason, I came here today! Hikaru suddenly remembered.
And that was?
It is because of Hyoma´s welcome party! Did you hear about it?
Madoka remembered, that Ginga mentioned the topic a few days ago. But she had to admit, that she didnt know much about it.
When will he arrive here?
He is coming in two days! We even got a great location for it! We planned to organize the party in a festival room from the WBBA! Mr. Hagane gave his allowance! The room is usually used for meetings!
Wow, that sounds great!
I still need some help with the preparations... Can you help me with the food? I thought we could bake pizza and buy some snacks and soft drinks.
Sure! I have a good recipe for pizza dough! Madoka said.
What do you plan for decoration?
They continued discussing the subject over an hour. Madoka was really looking forward to it. She was sure, that it was going to be a great welcome party. It had been a long time ago, since they had something to celebrate about!
oOo
On evening time Madoka got a new text message. It was from Tsubasa. He asked her, if she had time for a walk. He wanted to go the river. Madoka couldnt think of a good excuse, why she shouldnt have time for it. She was still a bit unsure, how to face him, after what happened yesterday. But it really hadnt been her fault! And she didnt want to start avoiding him now. So she wrote him, that she was free. They arranged to meet up there.
Madoka couldnt help it but feel nervous. She wondered how Tsubasa would react, if he knew, that she kissed Ginga yesterday. There was no way, she could ever tell him about that. But somehow not telling, felt like she was betraying him. Cheating was the last thing Madoka wanted to do. She really felt bad, since he was such a nice and friendly person. She wished, that she could erase this kiss from her memory, but she couldnt. She still didnt understand why Ginga did that in first place.
Tsubasa was very happy to see her. He was wearing new clothes for their date and Madoka had to smile, since she couldnt help it, but find him really cute.
Hey there Madoka, he greeted her, smiling wide.
Hi, she answered him, blushing. Somehow seeing him, reminded her of yesterdays accidents. She avoided his glance, having a very bad conscience about it. Tsubasa smiled, seeing her shy behaviour. He mistook her intimitated behaviour, since he thought, that she was acting this shy because of his cheek kiss yesterday.
They started walking. At first both of them stayed silent. Tsubasa was enjoying the calm atmosphere and the beautiful river, while Madoka was in deep thoughts. She didnt know, if she should tell him about yesterday. The more time passed, the more she found it difficult to actually start talking. She didnt want to hurt him. So she was relieved, when he started talking, asking her about her day. She told him about Hikaru´s visit and Hyoma´s welcome party.
While talking, she noticed, that the sun was starting to set. It was an amazing view, since every color of the sky was reflected in the river too. Madoka loved sunsets.
Whaaaahhh! Tsubasa look! She said exited. The river is sooo beautiful!
Tsubasa smiled, looking at the river.
Yeah, thats true! He admitted. But I wouldnt call it beautiful, having you, standing beside me, in comparison.
Eh?
Madoka blushed pretty hard. She wasnt used to such compliments. She couldnt bring herself to look at Tsubasa any longer, feeling very embarrassed. So she looked down at her feet.
Tsubasa chuckled, seeing her reaction.
Then he suddenly placed his fingertips gently under Madokas chin, raising her head.
Madoka´s heart beat increased rapidly. She felt kind of scared, not knowing why. She was looking right in Tsubasa´s shining eyes. She knew, what was coming next, but somehow she wasnt sure, if her heart was ready for that.
Right in this moment, they heard a very familar voice calling them.
Madooookkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Tsubasaaaaaa! Yuu cried in a loud voice, running to them.
Irritated Tsubasa turned around. Madoka felt as if her heart had jumped out of her chest any moment. She felt relieved about the intrusion. She didnt understand why, but when Tsubasa was so close to kissing her, she suddenly felt scared. But that didnt make sense at all. After all he was her boyfriend!
Hey guys! Yuu beamed with joy, when he finally arrived there, where Madoka and Tsubasa were standing. He was just as loud as always! He didnt realize that he had disturbed them.
What were you doing? Did you come here to play too?
Lets play all together! Yuu cried happily.
We didnt come here to play, Tsubasa said bad-tempered.
You didnt? Yuu asked surprised, as if he couldnt think of any other activity then playing.
We were on a walk, Madoka explained to him.
Walk? Yuu frowned. That sounds sooooo boring! He pouted. Hey, why dont we go eat ice cream together? He asked happily.
I want ice cream! Ice cream! Ice cream! Ice cream! Yuu ran around them. He sounded like a siren.
Madoka and Tsubasa knew both, that Yuu wouldnt stop doing that, until they took him for ice cream.
Okay, okay, we got it! Tsubasa said pissed. He was feeling so angry with Yuu right now, that he felt like hitting him.
Let´s get some ice cream, Madoka said. There is a good ice cream parlor beside the supermarket in the next block.
Yeah! Yuu jumped for joy.
Hey there! :) Its me again! Im sorry about the huge delay! (62 DAYS!) Every time I plan to hurry with the next upload, but end up apologizing to you!
Im really very very sorry! I hope you guys are willing to forgive me! ;_;
It is just that my crazy life comes in my way and I dont know what to do against it! :O
Hahahaha...so stay calm and eat ice cream! ;)
Thank you for reading!
