"Thinking of You"
Chapter 2: I Have Forgiven You
________________________________________________________________________
Everyone stood there with their mouths hung open. Ryo and Sage quickly shook out of
it and cleared their throat. The others quickly snapped out of it. Anubis and Mia was smiling at
each other so lovingly that you could've mistakened them for newly wed couple.
"Um...So when is the wedding?" Ryo asked breaking the silence. Mia looked at Ryo and
smiled. Amy and the other girls went into the kitchen. Anna came out with a plate of cookies in
her hands.
"About six months from now." Mia replied with a huge smile.
"When in August?" Anna asked as she gently set the plate down and went back into the kitchen.
"August 30." Mia replied, pushing the bangs away from her deep green eyes. Amy smiled as she
put down a tray of fresh cold lemonade.
"Mia and Anubis sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g. First, comes love. Second, comes marriage.
Then, comes a baby in a baby carriage." Yuli sang teasingly. Mia blushed a deep shade of
scarlet. Yuli saw Anubis nose started twitching and ran for his dear life.
"I heard there was going to be a formal Valentine Party at the your school." Mia quickly said
changing the subject.
"Yeah, there is. It next Friday." Rowen informed taking a sip of his lemonade.
"So, did the girls pick out their outfits yet?" Mia asked.
"Not yet. We're going tommorow." Amy said as she bit onto the soft chewy chocolate chip
cookie.
"Great. Can I accompany you guys?" Mia asked her eyes flashing like a newly polished gem.
"Yeah, we're going to Sweet Dreams." Kimberly said as she finished the lemonade with a slurp.
"Isn't that a bridal shop?" Mia asked slightly confused.
"Yeah, but they also make really good evening dresses and I want to see how Anna's cousin
keeps the place going." Winter replied with a little mischeif in her eyes. Sage and the other boys
cocked their eyebrows.
"Anna has a cousin?!" Ryo asked completely confused.
"Yeah." Winter replied as she sunk lower on the couch as the boys hovered around her.
"How come she never told me? What is she trying to hide?" Ryo asked aloud absent-mindedly
with a frown. He quickly regreted the last sentence that slipped out of his mouth.
"Nothing. It's because you never asked me." Anna replied sternly setting a metal plate filled with
little snacks with a heavy bang. She turned her heels towards the stairs.
"Smooth move, Ryo." Anubis said flatly. Ryo glared at him.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Get her!" Mia commanded holding the urge to drag Ryo up the
stairs. Ryo nodded and quickly ran up the stairs.
"Do you think Ryo can get Anna to forgive him?" Sage asked scratching the back of his head.
"He might if he can catch her off guard. She is very stubborn and like Cye she can be angry at
him for along time if it is controlled." Kimberly replied shaking her head from side to side.
"So are we still going there tommorrow?" Carmen asked.
"Yeah. Definitely." the girls replied.
"Oh, I hope Anna will forgive him." Mia said leaning on Anubis.
"Who knows. It's his fault you know. He shouldn't have said that out loud." Amy retorted.
Kento gave her nudge on the side singaling her to shut up. Amy quickly closed her mouth and
sat down on the well polished wooden chair.
"I hope they do 'cause its the last thing I want on my mind before the Valentine Party." Sage
sighed heavily wishing his friend good luck.
Upstairs...
Anna sat on the railing of the balcony, swinging her legs. Anna sighed heavily and
strated to chew on her lower lip. Her eyes roamed the sky looking at the bright stars. Ryo
silently crept into the room. He saw Anna sitting on the railing of the balcony.
"Oh shit. I hope she isn't trying to jumped down." Ryo thought nervously as he slowy walked up
behind her. Anna was so caught up in her thoughts that she didn't notice anyone behind her. Ryo
quickly took advantage of the chance and wrapped his arms around her waist and carried her
back inside.
"PUT ME DOWN! PUT ME DOWN YOU BAKA!!!" Anna shouted as she try to wriggle
free from her captor. She then was thrown onto the bed. Her eyes quickly adjusted to the dark.
She saw a lean figure in front of her and quickly recognize the figure.
"Ryo! Why the fuck did you do that for?!" Anna asked angrily.
"Can't you see I was scared of your safety! You could've fallen off!" Ryo shot back. Anna
grimances.
"Look I'm sorry about what happned before. I didn't mean it." Ryo said as he sat down next to
her.
"Now, how am I suppose to know that is true?" Anna asked looking away from Ryo's eyes.
"Because I...I...am..." Ryo stuttered.
"What?" Anna asked as she looked back at him.
"I am sorry." Ryo apologized doing a little bow. Anna's eyes softened. Ryo looked up locking
gaze with Anna. A single tear started to roll down her cheek.
"I forgive you. I know I shouldn't have done that." Anna said as Ryo wiped away the tear with
his index finger. Ryo smiled.
"I was stupid to think that you were hiding things like that from me." Ryo said in a soothing
voice. Ryo could see a grin slowly curve on Anna's face. Anna fell backwards landing on the
pillow.
"Wait a minute. This isn't my bed." Anna said turning her eyes towards Ryo.
"You got that right. This is my bed." Ryo replied with a grin.
"Hn? Well, I think we better go downstairs for dinner. Cye has been working his butt off on the
food." Anna said gentle shoving him. Ryo pretended to fall onto the floor.
"Owww." Ryo whined. Anna quickly got off the bed and went to Ryo.
"Are you alright, Ryo?" Anna asked worried.
"I'm fine." He replied pulling Anna into his lap.
"Alright, now you're starting to become sly." Anna teased. They quickly got up and went
downstairs.
Downstairs...
"Oh, look here they come." Rowen whispered. Ryo and Anna came down normally like they
always did.
"Why don't we start dinner." Anna suggested.
"Gotcha." Cye said making a dash toward the kitchen.
At night...
Everyone went to sleep except Mia and Anubis. Anubis stood out on the balcony. Mia
walked up to him.
"What's wrong Anubis? You can't sleep?" Mia asked in a concerned tone.
"It's just I keep on thinking of the times when I was a warlord. I can't stop thinking of how I
tried to hurt you." Anubis replied as he ran his hand through his long red locks.
"That was then. This is now." Mia replied. "You aren't the Warlord of Cruelty anymore. You
are Anubis the man that I fell in love with."
'Mia." Anubis murmured.
"What is it?" Mia asked smiling.
"Will you forgive me then?" Aunbi asked nervously.
"Yes, definitely." Mia replied giving Anubis a bear hug.
"You're the greatest." Anubis said enthusiastically.
"I have forgiven you ever since when you changed." Mia said.
"Thank you." Anubis said gratefully, hugging Mia tighter.
