I'm surprised at how long this story is turning out to be! Thanks for all your support! Welp here's the next chapter.
~Recap~
He let out a sigh before continuing. "I... I'm sorry for what I said."
~Back to normal~ Still Mai's POV~
WHAT THE HELL! Is he sick? Out of all the things I imagined him saying, apologizing wasn't one of them.
"You're sorry for what you said? Why?" I asked setting my tea-cup down and eyeing him carefully.
I was wary at what he was talking about since the last time we had a conversation like this I got my heart shredded into pieces.
"Yes I am sorry for what I said. Why you ask because I regret those words." he replied not even looking at me. It looked like he was trying to hide his emotions from me.
"What! No! The great Oliver Davis is never wrong! He's a cold-hearted narcissist! So why is it now that he regrets breaking a girl's heart?" I spat out. I noticed how he winced when I finished my mini rant.
"Mai, I'm not perfect. I can make mistakes too."
"Obviously." was all I said in retaliation, earning a bone chilling glare from him.
"Mai, can I tell you something?" he asked looking at me with the most serious, but desperate look I had ever seen. He looked like a child that was afraid of losing something precious.
"What is it Shibuya-san?" I replied. I really wanted to call him Naru, but I wont give him the pleasure of knowing that I still love him. Him not Gene, but him.
*Sigh* "Mai, while I was away I realized what I was feeling when you confessed to me. I felt jealous. I said what I said because I was afraid. I was afraid that it was not me you were truly in love with and that one day you would wake up and realize that. How in the world can someone as kind-hearted as you fall in love with me, a jerk who always insulted you? Besides Gene was there in your dreams comforting you when I couldn't, he was there giving you kind smiles, and he's everything that I'm not. In short Mai I have come to realize that I love you." he stated looking away with a blush dusting his cheeks.
I was confused. No, beyond confused. I had so many emotions swirling in my stomach. Anticipation, excitement, confusion, anger, happiness, love, and sadness.
"Let me ask you this. Gene is dead. Why would I fall in love with a dead man? Besides every time he visited me I thought he was you." I said in answer him.
"I know my brother..." I didn't let him finish.
"It doesn't matter! What does his smile matter compared to yours! I mean he smiles all the time, but I felt happy and lucky at the same time whenever I was able to get you to show your smile. I never knew Gene and I still don't. He's nothing more than my spirit guide. You can be a major jerk, but at the same time you can be as sweet as could be." I shouted trying to het my point across.
"I see. I love you, Mai. Do you still love me? Before you answer can I say a couple of things?"
"Yes."
He nodded and then started to hum. I was confused, but then he started to sing the lyrics of the very song that I listened to after he broke my heart. How ironic is that.
Sometimes you said
I didn't listen to your words
That I even made you cry
Maybe I didn't show in every possible way
How much I care
I'm sorry for not being myself
For everything ending this way
Maybe I, maybe you could need this change
I'm sorry for
For everything
I wish that I could stop your tears from falling down
Probably I'd make it worse
Maybe I wasn't always there
It doesn't mean I don't care
Whatever it was
I'm sorry for not being myself
For everything ending this way
Maybe I, maybe you could need this change
I'm sorry for
For everything
We're minutes away from saying goodbye for all of time
I'm seconds away from breaking apart
I'm sorry for not being myself
For everything ending this way
Maybe I, maybe you could need this change
I'm sorry for
For everything
I couldn't believe how well Naru could sing. When he was done he looked at me and frowned. Why is he frowning? It wasn't till he reached a hand up and brushed away a few tears. When did I start crying?
"Mai?" he questioned.
I shook my head and leapt into his unsuspecting arms. I caused us to fall onto the floor, but I didn't care. Naru hugged me back and when I looked up into his eyes he leaned down to give me the most passionate kiss I had ever had.
"I still love you, Naru." I replied noticing how he visibly relaxed.
"Mai have something else that I need to talk to you about."
"What is it?"
"It's about Jared." I stiffened when he brought up Jared's name. I instantly became defensive for some reason.
"What about him?" I asked narrowing my eyes.
"There's a reason as to why you feel safe around him."
"And why is that?" I asked instantly losing my defensiveness.
"He's your brother."
"My brother?! What are you talking about? I would definitely remember if he was my brother." I cried out my eyes wide with shock.
"You don't remember because you lost part of your memory. Can you tell me about the years before you came to SPR?" he said with all seriousness.
I thought about the years before SPR, but couldn't clearly remember anything. So I shook my head in indication that I couldn't remember or couldn't tell him.
"So how do I get my memories back?"
"We're going to be working on that. So don't worry." he stated with a warm look in his eyes.
We got up off the floor and stretched. Naru said he had to make a few phone calls before we went to bed. But before he or I could do anything a spirit appeared behind me cackling.
"Awwwww. How sweet two lovers together. Sorry boy, but she's mine and there's nothing you can do about it! SHE WILL DIE BEFORE THE END OF THE WEEK!" she cried out grabbing me by the wrist.
My whole world was turning dark not before I heard Naru shout out.
"MAI!"
