CH.5: Mixed feelings
(~)-thought
(The story continues where ch.4 left off. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!)
Despite the cold weather, both Van and Hitomi felt warm. Van could feel how vunerable Hitomi was feeling when he kissed her. He felt he was taking advantage of her when she felt so sad and confused. But he did'nt like seeing her upset ,and he had this sudden urge to kiss her. It was one of those spur-of-the-moment type situations.
Hitomi felt so secure in his arms. Her heart was beating wildly. To kiss Van on impulse was so unlike her. It gave her a new and exhilarating feeling she never felt with Allen....... Allen. Her eyes widened when she realised what she was doing. She gently pulled away from Van. They both stood facing each other, each unable to meet the other's eyes. "Um, do you know what just happened?" Hitomi asked shyly.
"I think I just kissed you," Van replyed. They both began to blush furiously. (Awww! ^_^ Sweet !) Hitomi looked at the ground. Van stuffed his hands in his pockets and cleared his throat . "Um, the kiss did'nt mean anything you know. You were looking so sad......It was just an impulse kinda thing." (~Liar!~) His mind screamed. The truth was, it meant something to him. He liked the feeling of holding her in his arms, and the feel of her soft , brown hair.
Hitomi looked up at him. (How could he say that?! You don't just kiss someone like that , then say it does'nt mean anything. Is he lying? Or am I that bad a kisser? Well, Allen seems to think I kiss just fine.) "I agree completely," she replied. His head shot up with a surprised look on his face.
"Huh? You do?" A flash of hurt passed through his eyes, but it passed as quickly as it came. Hitomi caught it and immediately felt bad. To cover up what he was feeling he said "I'm glad we agree," in a nonchalant tone of voice.
This time Hitomi felt hurt . Her anger replaced any remorse she felt . " Me too." She grabbed her things and began to walk away.
" Hitomi, wait . Do you have a ride home? I noticed you did'nt bring your car today."
" I have a ride thank you." She quickly looked around for someone she could ride home with. Then she spotted Dilandau putting things in his black Mustang. As much as she disliked Dilandau, it was better than being stuck in a car with Van. She was too mad and confused. She walked over to Dilandau and grabbed his arm. "He's my ride."
"What?!" Van said with a surprised look on his face.
Dilandau was equally surprised. He looked at Hitomi with a confused look on his face. " But you said you'd rather throw up than......" Hitomi dug her nails into his arm. "Ow!.....I mean, yeah I'm her ride."
"Well, okay. I'll see you tomorrow then." He looked like he did'nt believe her but he left anyway.
Dilandau turned to Hitomi with a sceptical look on his face. "Alright , I know you did'nt fall in love with me over night , so what's going on?"
"Look, I don't want to talk about it . If you don't want to take me home, I'll just walk."
"Fine, get in." He climbed in and opened her door. With a resignated sigh, she climbed in too. As they drove along, Hitomi stared out the window with a troubled look on her face. They both said nothing to each other and rode along in silence. Hitomi turned to glance at Dilandau. His silver bangs hung into his eyes, giving him a rugged look. Her eyes followed the line of his strong jaw, to his ruby red eyes. He suddenly turned his head, and caught her looking at him. She turned away, her face turning red.
He turned back to the road, and had a small smile on his face. Hitomi mentally scolded herself.~Why did I look at him? Now he probably thinks I like him!~ Then she thought to herself,~He does look handsome today. I wonder why I never noticed it . Wait , did I just say Dilandau is handsome?! I have got to get out of here!~ Luckily, Dilandau just pulled up to her house.
"Here's my house," she said hurriedly. She opened the door & turned to thank Dilandau, but he reached over her and pulled the door shut .
He grabbed her by the shoulders and gave her his most handsome smile." I knew you'd come around," he said then he kissed her. Hitomi's eyes widened. **************************************************************** Hitomi's brother was outside playing ,when he heard a loud smack. He saw his sister get out of the black Mustang that was parked in front of his house. "Don't you ever kiss me again, Dilandau Albatou, or you'll regret it !" Then she stormed into the house wiping her mouth disgustedly. Her brother just shrugged his shoulders and went back to playing. ************************************************************* Dilandau's father was reading his newspaper, when he heard a car roar into the driveway and the front door slam. He figured it must be his son. "Hello Dilandau. How was school?" He called to him, but immediately became silent, for he was struggling not to laugh. Dilandau was holding his hand to a flaming red mark on his pale cheek. "Don't ask," he growled to his father. Dilandu then stormed up to his room and slammed the door. Mr. Albatou chuckled to himself softly.
~How dare he ! The nerve of that jerk. ~Hitomi thought angrily. She flopped down on her bed and grabbed a picture of her and Allen on her bedside table. She stared at his handsome face, and muttered "Stupid Baka." ~Why does love have to be so complicated?~she thought to herself. Then she fell asleep with Allen's picture nestled in her arms.
Like the story? Then please review!!!!!!!!!!!! *If anybody knows the name of Hitomi's little brother and mother, please let me know! Also, I welcome any suggestions on how I can include Dilandau in the story more. Thanks!!!!!!!!!! ^_^
