Once upon a lullaby chapter24
This past week has been like a dream, Ryu has been spending almost all his free time with me. He has even started picking me up from school. He was very sweet and liked almost the same things I like, music, books, television programmes you name it. He would abandon all his friends to spend time with me and whenever I hung out with my friends he would be there too with his arm wrapped round me. I have to say it is so nice to be able to be close to somebody without having to be careful all the time. I'm not saying that I don't like being with Kyo and yuki but I missed all the hugs and being able to dance together. Yes he took me dancing, it was amazing. I wore my dress of shigure and had my hair curly, jessu came over beforehand and did all my makeup (she was bad at maths but give her a makeup wand and she is incredible!) And he came and picked me up. Something has been bothering me this whole time though; yuki and Kyo have been awfully quiet. They don't talk much even when we are at the clubhouse or the vegetable patch... I wonder what's wrong.
"Nami-hime?" princess nami! I felt my cheeks burn red as I turned round. Ryu stood there wearing a black blazer and a plain dark blue shirt. He wore black jeans to match that had tears by the knees and shiny black shoes to match. His hair was messy but ultimately gorgeous at the exact same time. Being next to him made me feel really bleh even though I was wearing a brand new dress I bought yesterday. We were going to go to the park; the Claressa Varlton concert was being held tonight and I just had to go so Ryu was taking me. I wore a dark blue dress and wore dark blue heels, hana forced me to wear them and my hair was straightened hanging down to my knees. "How are you?" He held out his hand grabbing mine. His hand was warm to my skin; made me feel loved and wanted. A feeling that I rarely received that made my heart all bubbly.
We hadn't kissed yet but I wasn't sure if I wanted to or if it's best to leave it and wait for the right moment. Still spending time with him is just enough. He had to go through hana and uo's test of boyfriendness... he passed with flying colours. He is perfect in so many ways, the thing that bothers me is that even though it's perfect and I'm so happy I don't know if I 'love' him. Sure I like him, I like him ALOT; but I don't think its love... maybe in time?
The concert was amazing, incredible even. The music flooding through my ears as me and Ryu swayed together his arm always round my waist making sure I didn't fall in these heels. When I got cold he put his jacket round my shoulders to keep me warm... as I said ultimate perfection. We walked home almost in silence with the slight humming of his voice; it's beautiful I couldn't help myself from thinking the thoughts. I guess I'm still overwhelmed by it all... We approached my front door and I handed him his jacket. His face slowly leant in towards mine I could feel his breath escaping from his lips, he leant in closer his fingers stroking my cheeks... is he going to kiss me? Then I realised it didn't matter, I want to kiss him whether I love him or not. I pushed myself closer, and I could hear his heart beat faster and just when he leant in...
"Nami your home." Yuki smiled at the doorway. Ryu instantly jumped back and sighed, I want to hang yuki from the fan and spin him round (don't ask I just reckon it's a good way of torture) or even stick him in the washing machine.
"Nami," Kyo followed. "I'm so hungry could you fix something?" I glared at Kyo too. What is their problem? Don't they get that we were in the middle of something? I waved to Ryu who was already down the path and walked inside. "Did you have fun on your date?" Kyo spoke sweetly. Then the anger got uncontrollable. Spinning round I started to hit Kyo with my high heel.
"YOU IDIOT! YOU ARE SO STUPID!" I almost jumped on him. "MAKE YOUR OWN DINNER BECAUSE IF I MAKE IT ILL JUST POISON IT!" I ran upstairs trying to hold back the tears. How could they even think? Are they jealous or something? They are so stupid. They never came up, shigure brought a tray of food up for me but I never touched it. He looked at me with a pitiful face... I hated that the most. I don't like to be pitied it makes me feel weaker than I already am. Despite that all I could was curl up in a ball and cry away all my tears.
"Nami-chi" Ryu was waiting for me. I'd texted him to tell him I was leaving early and he met me by the sweet shop on the corner. "I'm taking you out tonight." He pecked me on the cheek. My eyes looked up at him with curiosity and he laughed as if reading my thoughts. "It's a surprise." And he clutched my hand leading me down the street. My heart started to beat at a thousand miles... this is nice. At least I have one thing in my life that I love.
Leaving school I met up with Ryu at the usual place, looking at him in the gleaming sunlight I felt his display picture on my phone didn't do him enough justice. We walked hand in hand and I felt he was taking me to a restaurant or the park but we started to go down roads we had never been before going down walking past rows and rows of houses when we got there. He knocked on the door of a small but cute red house and a woman opened the door. She looked exactly like Ryu but with more feminine features. She wore a blue jumper and a long white skirt and on her hands were pink oven mitts. "Your home, come in." She gestured with a smile that made me feel all happy.
"Hi mom." He smiled. MOM?! He took me to his house?! "Mom this is nami. Nami this is my mother." I waved my hand still just a slight bit nervous. She smiled before pulling me into a hug. My nerves snapped...
"Hello I'm so glad to meet somebody so special to Ryu go upstairs you kids I won't keep you." Without a second thought, Ryu pulled me up the red carpeted stairs into a small bedroom. It was obviously his, the walls were covered with posters of bands I didn't know but looked cool anyway. He had a shiny black laptop on a pine desk; cds were strewn across the floor and bed. The bed was covered in a black quilt and pillows and was pretty small... it suited him though.
"I got 'your guardian angel 2' on DVD. I heard you liked the first one so I got it, do you want to watch it?" He smiled holding up a small pink rectangular box, he slid it into his DVD player which I didn't notice before and pulled me over to sit with him on his bed. Being so close to him made my cheeks flame and my heart beat faster than what was necessary for my health but I didn't care. His skin on mine felt nice and I tried to ignore it as the film went on.
"Stupid rat wait up!" Kyo yelled at yuki who had been ignoring him for the past 3 blocks. They were both running and yuki was winning. Yuki saw nami walk off with Ryu and was feeling kind of depressed. He was already feeling down about the whole nami thing last night and this was the cream on the cake. He really didn't want to have to put up with kyo's stupid nonsense either so he ran. "Yuki!" Kyo yelled more. "This concerns nami!" Yuki suddenly came to an abrupt halt.
"What?" Kyo slowed down pulling out his camera phone. He handed it to yuki obviously out of breath. It was a video; yuki pressed the play button and watched as two lads from his class called Seiji and Minoru. They sat alone at the lunch table and were being recorded by Kyo.
"Did you hear that Ryu is obsessed with this girl?" Minoru spoke cheerfully glad of some good gossip.
"Yeah but its fake, Ryu has been with alot of girls but he told me that being with nami would be like the catch of the day." Seiji smiled to himself.
"Really? Does he really want to just get her into bed?" Minoru was shocked, even with the fuzziness of the video yuki could tell.
"Yeah who can blame him though? Nami is really fit and she has never kissed a lad or anything so it's not like she will have anything to compare with. Every man's dream."
"True, but why bother?"
"Because Ryu wants to be the best, he is sick of the Sohmas stealing all the good girls away from him."
"Wow, I wonder how this will turn out."
"I know." Seiji finished. Then the screen went black, yuki was silent as Kyo finally stood up finally getting his breath back.
"Sick isn't it." Kyo was fuming and even though he would deny it he wanted yuki to go help him kill Ryu. "I'm going to go find nami and kill Ryu, you coming?" When there was no reply Kyo shrugged and started to walk off.
"Do you know where he lives stupid cat?" Yuki spoke his voice grave and icy. "I don't either," Kyo turned round like a sad kitten and walked back towards yuki. "We will just have to wait until she comes home; if he has done anything to her then we will kill him." Kyo nodded and they both walked down the street in silence.
I pushed the door open and Kyo and yuki were there in a whim. "Nami are you ok?" Yuki sounded worried and so scared that I forgot about yesterday. "Did Ryu do anything untoward to you?" What?
"No we watched a movie and I went home why?" Yuki and Kyo exchanged glances.
"Well you see I overheard two lads talking saying that you meant nothing to Ryu and that he just wanted to get you into bed." Kyo sighed. What? This can't be true; I mean Ryu has done nothing untoward towards me since we have been together. The only thing that he has done was try to kiss me which they ruined... could this be?
"Do you really think I am that stupid?" I snapped. All the anger I have been holding back all day finally came through. "I can't believe that you are going to keep trying to sabotage the relationship I have going with Ryu. Are you jealous or something?" Kyo and yuki looked at me in disbelief.
"Namis it's not like that..." Yuki tried to explain.
"Well what then yuki? Actually no, I don't care anymore just leave me alone." I pushed them out of my way and ran u the stairs tears pouring down my cheeks. Throwing everything aside I curled up in a ball on my bed and sobbed. Why are they doing this to me?
Another dramatic ending sorry for the delay but I am reading so many books it's unbelievable. XD well see you next time.
