Title: My Invisible Guy

Chapter 10: A Time for Peace

"Aren't you scared?" Ryoma asked me.

"Scared of what?" I looked at him.

"Your boyfriend is dead but can still get his body back and kiss you" he looked serious but the tone of his voice is on a teasing mode. I wonder what he's thinking as of the moment.

"At least I still have you" I smiled sweetly at him.

"I don't know how to react to that" Ryoma smiled. He was out of words. "Oh, but before I forget… You owe me one" he continued.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you made me worry when you were sick. So you owe me one" he grinned.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked. Suddenly he was leaning on me and I can feel his breathe on my face.

"You're heavy R-Ryoma-kun…" I said.

"I just want you to stay with me" he laughed and stood up.

"Mou, Stop teasing me Ryoma-kun" I said to him. He flashed me a very cute smile and I felt my heart thumping really hard. Every girl would love him at first sight.

"Of all girls, why would I have chosen you? You're shy, you don't speak much like Tomoka, you're not that attractive, you're not even pretty and —" he stopped when he saw my shocked expression. Everything was negative. Gosh, does it mean that he doesn't want me anymore? Like he doesn't love me? I frowned and walked away.

"Sakuno" he caught my wrist and stopped me from walking further more but I didn't look back.

"Look. What's your problem?" he asked me. I tried my best to look really disappointed and he let go of me. I went outside and he didn't even run after me. What does this mean? My legs were wobbly but I managed to walk more. After minutes and minutes of walking I ended up being at the park. Since no one is here, I'll just stay for a while. Sometimes I think that I need some time to think. I need to feel the nature and enjoy some time being with myself.

Having a dead guy for a boyfriend, is that reasonable? Well I'm not scared at all. Having Ryoma back was everything that I wanted from the beginning. I don't even know what I would do if he's gone again. Well I'm afraid to lose him but acting childish like today may be an exception. It's just too much for me too handle. Him not loving me anymore… Just the thought could kill me any moment. It feels like my life has revolved around him that I don't care about anything anymore except for him. He's my life. I know that I shouldn't be saying things such as these because I'm too young. Plus he isn't even alive anymore. But he's all I want and I don't doubt my love. I may be questioning but it's only because I need clarification. Oh God, I swear to love him more if you just give him back to me. I may be selfish in many ways but please grant me this wish. Just this once please.

I made my way to the chair after staying in the slide for a long time. Then I sat on the see saw and start moving back and forth so that it would move.

Suddenly there's some music playing. It was one of my favorite songs. And it's, 'I'll never gonna let you go' by Faith Evans.

If I had one wish boy,
I'd wish you next to me
And it could be in Summer, Fall, or Spring boy
'cause you make my heart sing
I wanna give my heart, my soul, my love to you , ohh baby, yeah
'cause everyday I'm not with you, I'm missing you,
Like crazy

I need for you to,

Love me (love me)
Hold me (hold me)
Touch me (touch me)
Down deep in my soul,
Never let it go,
Of the love we share, no one compares to you
I'll never let you go,
'cause I really love you so
ohh I,
I'll never let you go

ohhh nooo,
no, no ,no, no

You must know the truth boy,
I'm nothing without you,
Its funny how I know what people mean, boy
When its too good to be true
Because you give me joy, good love, good times,
Such happiness, ohh yeah
And every day I thank the Lord for you,
I feel, so blessed

I need for you to,

[Repeat Chorus]

If you only knew,
What you really do
Ain't never had no one that does it quite like you do
You can spend half a life time trying to find one like you
That's why I am so glad I found you, babe
I wished upon a star and it came true

[Repeat Chorus]

It was such a love song for a life time, a really good and romantic song.

"You haven't let me finish what I'm going to say awhile ago" Ryoma said to me. I didn't know how to face him so I didn't look at him.

"Look at me" he gently said and held my hand. I looked at him in the eye.

"Of all girls, why would I have chosen you? You're shy, you don't speak much like Tomoka, you're not that attractive, you're not even pretty and—" he repeated it again and I looked down.

"Look at me" this time, his voice was commanding so I obeyed.

"All those things I said before were fake and I like you just the way you are. If you speak like Tomoka, I would've ignored you. Not that I hate her or criticizing her. In whatever way, I prefer you. The truth is you're really attractive. You've been preparing me food and all. I love everything you do in case you haven't noticed. I love every bit of you. You're not pretty because you're beautiful but being beautiful has its own disadvantages at times. Guys kept looking at you and it irritates me. I want to punch them especially those who looks at you with lust visible in their eyes. You're mine. You're the only girl who's right for me. So I'm sorry for not getting to the point awhile ago. I just wanted it to be special. I love you more than anything in this world that life would offer me" he said and kissed me.

"I never thought that you think of me that way. I thought I'm just a burden to you, like I'm someone who can never be right for you, like I'm not enough…" I stopped because he sshhhh-ed me. "I love you too Ryoma" I said. I can feel myself blushing really hard. Like there was something that's missing awhile ago but now… it's here. Ryoma makes my life complete. His words were like melody. And it was the best thing I have ever heard in my entire life.
