Part 14: Hold On

Mio's POV

I applied some light foundation on my face before I finally stormed out of the restroom – my body shook all the time. "Hey, Mio, here's your drink. Kai left it just now," Hana came into sight curtly.

"Thanks," I smiled spontaneously as I took the mineral water bottle from her hands. "I'm sorry I'm late, Mio, I had to. Mrs. Teiko forced me to stay for some clean-ups. You know how I hate them."

Hana rambled on and on while I drank my water slowly, one small mouthful at a time. I actually did not go back to the assembly room – I couldn't face her at the moment, I feel bitter as I think of it.

Besides, Mrs. Teiko kindly permitted me to dismiss it the minute I brought up Risa in my defence earlier. "Well, just so you know, I found Rit–" Hana wanted to say something but I cut in.

"I'm tired, Hana, let's go already," I said while I approached a sleeping Risa and lifted her up straightaway. "Yea, Mio, you go first," she said as she handed over her car key to me.

Ritsu's POV

I kept on driving aimlessly for hours before I finally pulled up in that very same entranceway I left yesterday. I took deep, deep breaths before I got out, quickly headed for the doorbell.

I pressed it for a moment or two whereas I braced myself for her backlashes. In less than no time, I heard sounds of footsteps and a doorknob being turned afterward.

"Hold on," her familiar voice had never been somewhat relieving to me before. But then, I needed it more than ever at the moment. "Wh–" I did not waste any time as I pushed her against the door.

She attempted to defend herself but of course, she failed at once as soon as I pinned her hands above her head. "I'm sorry for what I said earlier, Eri, can we start over? Please let me in," I begged.

I then leaned in to kiss her hard as if my whole life depended on it while I slowly let go of her hands the minute she had her guards down. "All right," she muttered in between our kisses.
