Summer In China
Part XVII: Confessions
By: Michelle
Splinter over heard Raphael's outburst at Venus. When he got to the door, he saw Raphael running after her. He knew the truth would come out. He wonder why he encouraged Raphael to go after her. I guess it was fate for everything to happen the way it does. Good thing Leonardo was fishing with Michaelangelo.
************
"Venus. Venus." He finally caught up with her in the field.
"Go away." Her voice was shaky and she was crying her eyes out.
"Venus. I need to tell you something."
"WHAT? That you can't stand me. You can take care of yourself. BUT YOU SEEMED TO HAVE FORGOTTEN WHO CARED FOR YOU THESE PASSED WEEKS! I GAVE UP ALL MY TIME TO YOU. AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME." Her voice tuned down. "I can't believe you hate me that much."
"Hate you." He was shocked. Why would he hate her? Why would she get that impression? Then the answers came to him, throughout the years he treated her so badly. He always made fun of her Shinobi ways, always blamed her for the enemies they made after he met her, and he yelled at her. He really hurt her throughout the years. He knew he had to tell her the truth. "Venus, I don't hate you. I...I love you."
"Whatever." She turned from him and began to walk away.
He grabbed her hand, but she pulled away. "Don't touch me."
He really hurt her bad, so bad she didn't believe him. He had to prove his love to her.
He grabbed her hand again, but when tried to pull away he pulled her into his arms. She was angry at this but he didn't care. He pulled her closer and kissed her. At first she tried to push him away, but as the kiss deepened she wrapped her arms around his neck. He was shocked when she responded back.
A few seconds later he released her. She stood in front of him shocked at what happened. He loved her. He really loved her. he pulled her close again and kissed her gently. Then, he held her close. She thought about him. He was stubborn, sweet, wild, and uncontrollable. She felt it in his kisses. She listened to the beat of his heart against his chest. His heart pounded for her.
"I love you." He whispered in her ear.
"I love you." She looked up at him and kissed him.
When they began to return to the house, they knew the consequences. They were worried about what the others would think. Especially, Leonardo. They knew Leonardo had feelings for Venus. It worried her more than him. Together they concluded that it would be best to keep their relationship a secret until the right moment.
**************
That evening at dinner, Venus and Raphael keep their distances so no one would expect anything between then. Leonardo sat next to Venus and squeezed her hand many time throughout dinner.
Leonardo was so much in love with her. he could not wait. Four more days. He smiled at her and kissed her cheek.
Venus felt uncomfortable thoughout evening. Leonardo was trying to get close to her. A day ago she would have been fine about it, but everything changed since then. She loved Raphael and he loved her. She had a bad feeling about this. She remembered at the beginning of the summer, she was head over heels for Leonardo. It wasn't like that now. She didn't love him anymore, at least not like that. She looked over at Raphael.
He couldn't stand it. Leonardo was trying to get close to Venus. It made him so jealous, he wanted to get up and knock the daylights out of him. But, he knew he had to keep it cool for a few days until they let out their big secret. He looked over at Venus. She didn't seem to like Leonardo drooling all over her.
******************
That night, all Raphael could think about is Venus. True, he didn't want to marry, have kids, or anything like that; but for Venus, he would give her the world. Besides, he was 21 now. He has done alot of growing up over the last three years. He thought about Casey. In the last few years, he had been hanging alot over by Casey's since he spent most of his time with April. He had to admit though, he kinda is jealous of him. Number one, he is got April who's one of the kindest and sweetest person you would ever meet. And two, he has Shadow. Shadow's about six. If it weren't for her, he would have never pushed himself to become a better person. If Casey could give up everything for April and Shadow, he could do it too. Besides, Venus was worth it.
