Chapter 8
Flashback…
The next day, in the mid-afternoon, at Nami's house.
Zoro was training but not like he normally does. He kept thinking about Nami said in her sleep yesterday, he looked at her she wore a boho short white and pink dress and she was baking a pie. She was singing a song, it was not the first time that he heard her singing, he always thought that she had a beautiful voice and still has.
(The Carpenters, Close to you)
Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
Why do stars fall down from the sky
Every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you
On the day that you were born the angels
Got together
And decided to create dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
And golden starlight in your eyes of blue
She stopped and put the pie in the oven, after that she sat on the couch and start reading her novel. Zoro kept training and thought that Nami was focusing on reading, but she wasn't.
She kept looking at him and well she thought that he was sexy. She always thought that we was when he was doing his training on the Sunny, but now it was different, her heart beats faster than usual.
The day went like that, she gets her pie out of the oven, it was smelling real good and she start making dinner, ``onigiri`` his favourite meal and they drank sake. They talked about all and nothing.
Theirs days went like this a week passed, ten two weeks and before they realized it a month passed. Nojiko and Genzo went to Nami's house a lot, Nojiko went to say ``hi`` to her sister but also to check if something had happened between the two of them. Genzo, him, he wanted to make sure everything was okay.
Before they knew it the two of them start growing feeling for each other but they didn't want to confess because they were afraid of the reaction off the other. But one night something happened…
Zoro was still awake, he kept thinking about his sensei's words and his feeling for Nami. He decide to check if Nami was asleep or not, maybe to chat with her if she was and if she was not he would just watch her sleeping for a minute or two.
He went to her room, open her door, the lights was off and he thought that she was sleeping but something was off… Her window was open; it was a full moon, wait a minute, she never slept with the window open, he check her bed and she was not there. He started to panicked; one of her blanket was missing. His imagination went wild; she might have been kidnapped or worst… He ran outside of the house, looked around and he didn't saw her. He was really worried and he saw feet traces. He decided to follow it and saw something.
``Nami!`` Said a surprised Zoro.
``Oh Zoro! `` Replied Nami.
She was laying on a blanket and was watching the sky.
``Damn Nami! You got me worried! What are you doing here? `` Asked Zoro.
`` Oh, I'm only watching the stars and the moon; it has been a long time since we were able to watch it. `` Said Nami.
`` Ah okay… Well if everything's alright all be going. `` Said Zoro.
But before he leaves, Nami took his arm.
``Stay here, with me please… `` Asked him Nami who was looking straight into his eyes.
He lets a sight and lay next to her.
Sometimes passed and Nami finally said.
`` Hey Zoro, thank you… `` Said Nami.
`` Hein why's that? I should be the one to thank you! `` Told her Zoro.
`` No, I'm the one, because you know Zoro, even if I was back in my hometown, I felt alone. So thank you. `` Replied Nami.
The two of them stayed silent and Zoro saw that she was freezing. He brings her closer to his body and her head was now resting on his shoulder and her back was facing him.
`` Zoro! What are you doing? `` Asked Nami who was blushing.
`` You're freezing… `` Answered a calm Zoro.
`` Oh thanks… `` She said.
A pregnant pause passed.
`` I will never leave you alone. `` He said with a serious but calm voice.
She smiled.
`` You promise? `` Nami asked to him.
`` Yes, I promise. `` Said Zoro.
Nami decided that to prove his words she was going to tell him how she feels about him.
`` Zoro? `` Said Nami.
``Yes? `` Said Zoro.
She turns around to face him.
`` I love you. `` She finally said.
Zoro didn't believe it, no, it couldn't be real, but that's what she just said. He decided to share his feeling too.
`` I love you too Nami, really much. `` He said and bringing her closer to him more.
He stoled her lips and kissed her.
She was surprised and kissed him back. The two of them shared a long kiss and fall asleep outside, in each other's arm.
