The horrifying exams are finally over. So finally have time to update. And I don't know why but well since the first time I watched La Corda, I've had a massive crush on Len…but now well it seems to have developed more he seems even hotter!! Than the first time. sigh Len you're amazing!! You're hot!! Ehem…enough…lovestruckness….here's the next chapter already.
Chapter 8-Desires of the Heart part 2
Kaho felt uncomfortable as she descended the stairs. She noticed that the sky was still raining cats and dogs.
Then a realization hit her…THE LAUNDRY! She doubled her speed and passed by Len trying to undo the chain on the door.
"What's wrong?" Len asked half worried by her sudden reaction.
"It's nothing, just gotta get the laundry. I'll be back in awhile!" she replied not even stopping to breath as she ran behind the house.
"Kahoko…the ra-" he tried to say…but he was too late. Then a realization struck him as well…as he thought…
She could've passed through the back door…Len sighed…Typical of her.
In seconds she was back carrying a few clothes…
She sighed in relief…
"Good, they aren't that wet yet, I'll just take these upstairs…" she said as she began to go up the stairs again.
"Do you need help?" Len offered.
"No, it's not heavy" she replied.
Len watched the sky for awhile...it seemed like he wasn't going to get home soon.
And he himself didn't know if that was a bad or good thing right now.
Then he shivered a bit.
"Sorry" a voice said
"I forgot about towels, here" she continued as she handed Len a blue towel.
"Arigatou" was all Len said as he wiped his hair. After awhile it was a mess. A few strands were tangled and some rose higher than the others…some covering his left eye.
Kaho chuckled lightly. Len frowned.
"Let me help you…" she said as she began to untangle some strands of his cerulean hair.
Even though all she was doing was removing strands of his hair he couldn't help but slightly blush at the contact.
Her whole body was dangerously close including her face, her partially pursed lips.
"There" she said as she broke the close contact not realizing Len's uneasiness.
Len didn't say anything. His mouth was unable to speak.
"Kahoko" he said slowly...trying to relax.
"Hmm?"
"I should be getting home" he mumbled but Kaho was able to understand it.
"Eh, but the rain…"
"I've got an umbrella, see you tomorrow." He said as he went to get his bag.
As he was about to open the door…
"Thanks for letting me-" he said but he was cut off when someone gently took his hand. He turned around afraid to meet her eyes. Unable to resist he did.
Her eyes were mixed with pleading and worry.
"Please…don't go…" she said there was actually a double-meaning to her words. Neither she nor Len realized.
Len dropped his bag…and hugged her…he nodded and continued to hug her. As she put her arms on Len's back…
A few minutes later…Kaho's room… (WARNING: if you don't want to read this part please scroll down. –it's a light making out scene)
Len felt unsure…as he saw Kaho shake a bit.
"Maybe we shouldn't…" he said hoping it would stop her trembling.
She slowly took his hand…
"It's not the actual thing. It's just a step of it" she said in almost a whisper as she put Len's hand close to her lips. Her eyes which were closed slowly opened…she nodded with determination.
Len felt a bit more assured as he began to kiss her…as he brought her down to the bed still holding onto her.
He removed his jacket…he moved his lips to her neck. Giving it a few kisses. As he did Kaho's hand which was slightly trembling loosened his tie. Giving Len one chaste kiss on the neck as well.
Then…both of them…went back to each others lips sharing a short passionate kiss…
For a moment they just looked at each other. Having a slight shade of red on their face…
One more kiss after that…and both pulled away.
After that the tense atmosphere the last few hours seemed to disappear.
Then Kaho remembered something…
"Ne, Len?"
"Hmm?" he asked wondering what it was now.
"I want to play…Ave Maria…" she said flashing a sweet smile. Those smiles made Len smile his usual smile (only around Kaho) and nodded…
In seconds, both were in position…a nod as a signal and then…the notes began to fill the room.
Outside…
Kaho's mother and father along with Kimiko and their luggage…stopped to hear the music.
"What a beautiful song" Kimiko said…
"Schubert's Ave Maria, isn't it, dear?" Kaho's mother said.
"Yes, it's such a beautiful piece" her father said as both of them closed their eyes. Her mother resting his head on her father's
Kimiko smiled as she listened to the piece. And to think my sister's actually playing this piece…
She silently chuckled…If Haru was here he would think the world is coming to an end…
