Chitanda POV
Mayaka san looked so happy
"Im happy for you Mayaka san...he finally confessed and you two are-"
"YES WE ARE DATING NOW!" She beamed
I giggle
"That is good" Makoto said as he munched onto the bread
And that is when Fukube san and...Oreki san...approached the table..
I couldnt face him
I felt too embarrased
Yesterday he-
Remembering everything just..
"Good morning chitanda san,Kaizaki san" Fukube san greeted and we greeted him back..
He looked overjoyed
He sat down beside mayaka san and greeted her..grinning
She greeted him back...blushing...
Aww so cute...
Oreki san took a seat beside me
Im nervous
"Good morning...oreki san" i said and he greeted me back...
He got up and went to the buffet table
I followed him there..
I wanted to ask him
I went to his side..
"Ano..oreki san-"
He turned to me and bowed his head
" im sorry i did that to you yesterday..i was dtunk and had no control over my body..." He apologized..
"Ah Im..its ok..Oreki san"
He sighed...
"And...dont worry about what I said...i didnt mean it...ugh..umm..for you" he said and looked away
I expected this answer..yet this feeling...this..gloom...
I wonder who it was that oreki san wanted to hug and kiss so softly
I wonder...who it is that..made someone like Oreki san fall in love...
We walk back to the table..and take our sets when kinoshita san approached us
She greeted us all and took a seat beside Oreki san
"I have to go..Ill be right back" Makoto said and got up
He glanced over at oreki san and kinoshita san and left
Eh
What was that about..
I look over to them and..
Oreki san is..holding her hand..his fingers entwined with hers..
She looked sad...
I smile...he is comforting her..right?
I get up and turn to leave
"Chi chan..where are you going?"mayaka san asked
"I ugh..i dont have an apettite right now.." I said and left
Of course he was consoling her
She mustve approached him cuz she was sad
And..
Of course.
She is the one he loves..
She always was ...right..?
Then..then why do I feel so...burdened..?
We pack up our things and load the car..
We are finally going back today..
I bid farewell to Kinoshita san and get inside the car
Kinoshita san hugged fukube san and mayaka san
She walked to oreki sam ..hugged him and...kissed him on his cheek..
I looked away immediately
"Tch" i heard..from Makoto
"Whats wrong ?" I asked him and he looked away
"Its nothing" he sid as the door opened and the others entered the car
I glanced at oreki san...he was still blushing..
That mustve made him happy...
"Eh..Chi chan?! Why are you crying?" Mayaka san asked
I gasped
I touched my face and felt tears
"I-I ugh really dont have a clue" I said as I wiped my tears off
"Eru chan.."
"I guess...the thought of being away from you guys..kind of scared me.."
Oreki POV
She really is sad...
She shook it off but...
"I cant believe we were away for 4 days.." satoshi said as we put our bags in the room...chitandas house...we still have a week left with Chitanda...after that...she ll be..engaged...
"Hm" I replied..
"Hotaro..."
"Why was Sayuri upset?"
"I...dont know" i lied
I do know...i cant tell him..
If he comes to know...it might spread to Ibara and then...chitanda
It would really upset her..
"Hotar-"
"Im going out for a bit" i said and leave the room
I cant...i cant tell them
It ll..hurt Chitanda...cuz she likes him..alot...
I enter the common room...they probably have some books in the shelf to read..
I open the door and see Chitanda on a stool..trying to get a book for herself when she notices me..
"Ah oh Oreki san-"
"I just wanted a book to read " i said and walked to her side..browsing
"Oh i see..do you want a mystery Oreki san?"
"Yeah.."
"Why dont you ...like ..romance novels?" She asked
"WHAT?!"
"I was just wondering...who is it that you love..oreki san.." she asked
I gulped
"I ugh i ugh...no one" I said..averting my gaze
"Okay.."she said and went back to humming
I sighed
That was close..
"Oh found it-" she said and screamed
Her leg slipped and I saw her fall..
Chitanda POV
"Oh found it-"
A spider suddenly jumped onto me
Startling me
I heard a scream escaoe my lios and felt my self lose balance
I closed my eyes and prepared for a thud...but it never came..instead it was something soft..
I opened my eyes and..find my self staring into green ones
His arms protectively wrapped around me
My body pressed against his
It reminds me of that night...
"BAKA! Be careful" he scolded and I came to my senses...
"i saw a spider and-"
He stared into my eyes...
It felt so surreal
His eyes are...so..beautiful
I felt his arms tighten around me...
Oreki san...
"Thank you ..for saving me..." I said and he pulled back
He moved away from me.
"Welcome..." He said and got up
He helped me up and turned to leave
"What about the book?" I asked
"I dont want one" He said and hurried out the room
I gasp
Just now...it felt as if..he wanted to pull me closer
Oreki POV
That girl...she really doesnt understand anything about personal space..
I enter the room
"What are you doing here?"
.
Oreki POV
I see kaizaki
"What are you doing here?" I asked him
"Im here to talk to you about something Oreki kun" He said and walked to me
"Dont you think that you bwing in contact with Kinoshita san is bad?..I mean..bwing with commoners like you...it isnt good for her reputation you know-"He said but i grabbed his collar
"Stop blabering nonsense Kaizaki" I said
"Arent you worried about her Oreki kun-"
"The only person Im worried about is Chitanda..I dont care about Sayuri...cuz she has you" I said..letting go of his colllar
He didnt look up to me
"I know...about you two..Sayuri ...has you..but Chitanda...she has no one ...she ll be heart broken of she comes to know that she is getting in between the love of a person she cherishes" i said
He didnt utter a word
"I know that...you and Sayuri...are together..since 5 years..-"
"I love Sayuri from the bottom of my heart...I got jealous when I saw her being close to you...but...I cant help it..mit was my dads wish for me to marry Eru chan...Business benefits..and I have to follow his orders..."
"You can-"
"I cant refuse him...that is why I broke up with Sayuri..but she showed up at the resort and..."
He sighed
"Well...I hope that ...she will be happy.."
"SHE WONT BE HAPPY IF YOU SIMPLY LEAVE HER" I shouted
He smirked
"Good night..Oreki kun...I promise Ill take good care of Eru chan" He said and left the room
Anger building up inside me...
Its getting stuffy in here
I dont...want...to let go..of her...just yet..
Time's flying by pretty fast
Theres only...2 days left for the ..enagement..
" 'And all I can do is just admire Chitanda from afar' is what you are thinking isnt it Hotaro?" Satoshi grinned at me
I glared at him
"Well that is what you are doing now..?"
"What?"
"Hotaro...you have been starinf at Chitanda san for quiet a while now" He whispered and I blushed
He grinned again...
I sigh.
Im too lazy ro deny..
I have been looking at her..
She is at the kitchen counter...as Kaizaki and Ibara chatted with her
She was kneeding some batter
Her hands white with the all the flour
She looked happy..
But I noticed that she kept trying to get some hair off her face
She looked rather cute like this...
And now...its just starting to bother me..
I walk to her and slide her hair behind her ear as she gasped
"Oreki san..."
What have I done..?
This is weird
Thank god there is only the 5 of us..
"I ugh the hair bothered me alot so I-"
Chitanda giggled
"Thank you for noticing my trouble Oreki san" She said and smiled
Just how much more cuter can she get than this
This is unfair
She is making me feel this way right before she is..gonna leave me
"You are welcome" i said and leave the room
I dont want to..but i have to..let her go...
It all her fault..
Tch.
Who am I kidding.
It was my fault...that I didnt realise my feelings earlier...
