Chapter 6. Under the Same Roof --- Part 2
"One more please! It's raining heavily outside." Heiji was already eating his third bowl of rice this evening.
"There'll be a thunder storm tonight. You've a good appetite today!" Kazuha was giving Heiji's third bowl of rice to him.
"'Cause it's delicious! The curry you made was really tasty, Kazuha! Your cooking really improves these few days."
"But your mom is a much better cook."
"Of course, she is the best cook in Osaka. But you can still be the second best. You'll be a good wife in the future." Kazuha blushed immediately, but Heiji did not noticed, "I can't eat any more."
"Of course you can't, aho. There's some rice on your face." Heiji tried to wipe his face, but he wiped the wrong direction. "It's the opposite direction." Kazuha helped Heiji to clean his face; Heiji's face blushed slightly for her action. "I can wipe it myself." He suddenly remembered Kimura's words and started to consider Kazuha as a woman instead of a girl. She was wearing a pale yellow halterneck top and a white short skirt. He never noticed that her limbs were so slender and soft before…
Kazuha started to clean up and left Heiji sitting at the table alone, thinking. 'I know that it was quite hot as summer approaching. Doesn't she know that she was living all alone with me? I'm a normal young man. It appears to be too seductive for me. It's all Kimura'fault!' Heiji tried to shake Kimura's words out of his mind, "Kimura is an idiot!"
"Kimura what?" Kazuha asked Heiji curiously.
Heiji did not notice that he had just shouted out loud, "I…I just remember that Kimura has lend me a video today, let's watch it after you finish the cleaning up." Heiji thought that watching a video was a good idea to stop him having all those weird thoughts.
"A video! That's great!"
"What kind of movie is it? The ring? Is it a romance story?"
"I don't know. Kimura just told me that it was a nice movie." Heiji and Kazuha started watching the video. They were sitting at each end of the three-seated sofa. They knew immediately that it was not any love movie; it was a horror movie. 'Yeah! That's great! Not a love story." Heiji thought
"It's a horror movie, Heiji." Kazuha already started to tremble at the beginning of the movie. "Do we need to continue watching this tonight?"
"You already chicken out! It's just the beginning only, nothing horrible, aho! Of course I need to watch till the end, or else Kimura would laugh at me for being a coward." Heiji tried to tease her a bit.
"Aho! I'm not frighten, of course I can watch this movie till the end." Kazuha was just too afraid to go to bed alone, while Heiji was watching this horror movie.
"I bet you can't!"
"If I can watch till the end, you…you would need to do the clean up for one week."
"Okay," Heiji knew that Kazuha could not finish watching, "I'll do the clean up if you can finish watching."
They continued to watch the movie, and Heiji suddenly noticed that Kazuha was sitting close to him. "Aho! Why do you sitting next to me?"
"It was warmer here." Kazuha whispered slightly, her back was shivering. Heiji realised that Kazuha was really scared, so he stopped arguing with her. Kazuha was grabbing his arm tightly that he could even feel her body pressing against his arm. He could not concentrate on the movie now; he could even smell her breath. 'Oh! This is Kimura's trap! He just wants me to do what he had planned. Just stay calm!'
It was not easy for them to finish the movie; Kazuha found out that Heiji's face was blushing deeply under his dark skin. She realised that they were a bit too close for almost an hour. She quickly released his arm, "What're you thinking? Pervert!"
"A pervert? Aho! You're the one who seduce me first! I'm a normal young man." Kazuha blushed immediately. "Aho! I go to bath now! Remember you lose your bet!"
Kazuha was sitting in the bathing tub, still thinking what had just happened, 'Aho Heiji! Letting me to watch such a frightening movie!' And then she remembered Heiji's blushing face, "what does he thinking?" Her thoughts on Heiji was interrupted by the weather outside, it was raining heavily. Lightning and thunders could be seen and Kazuha remembered those creepy scenes she had just watched.
"I'd better finish bathing, it's so scary to be alone here." Another thunder was roaring which forced Kazuha to hurry out of the bathing tub. All of a sudden, all the lights turned off, and then the bathroom was darkened.
"AAHHHH!" Kazuha screamed out loudly.
Heiji rushed into the bathroom immediately, "what happened?" Kazuha immediately hugged Heiji tightly, "there's something near the window…"
Heiji noticed that Kazuha was quite wet; he looked at the window, but found nothing, "Aho! It's just a bit too windy tonight. Don't be afraid so easy!" The light turned on again, and Heiji found out that Kazuha only had a towel wrapping around her! They both turned around immediately, back facing each other, "I…I go outside first," said Heiji, and left the bathroom right away; his face was flushing deep red.
"What had just happened?" Kazuha felt that her whole body was blushing deeply.
It was almost one o'clock in the morning; Heiji still could not fall to sleep. He had some strange feeling for Kazuha but he could not explain it.
Someone was knocking his door, "who's there?" It was Kazuha at his door, she was already in her sleeveless pyjamas and she looked pale. "Are you still scared by the movie?"
"Heiji, there're thunder and lightning outside, um…um can I come and sleep with you?"
"What?" Heiji was surprised by Kazuha's words. "I'm just too afraid to be alone. You'll not do anything strange to me, will you?" Kazuha said softly. "Aho!" Heiji could do nothing but let her in.
The next morning Heiji returned the video back to Kimura. "You look tired this morning and you've been yawning the whole day.
Do you have a great night?" Kimura tried to tease Heiji, but he stopped right away when he felt danger as Heiji was going to beat him up with kendo.
Shingo without knowing what happened asked Heiji again, "What happened last night? Did you finally make out with Toyama-san?"
"You want to know, give me your ear." Heiji was smiling slyly. When Shingo was getting close to Heiji, he suddenly yelled out loud. "AHO! I'll not tell you."
Last night, after Kazuha had entered Heiji's room, she fall to sleep immediately but he could not sleep at all. Kazuha's sleeping face was just inches from him. He just kept on moving the whole night to prevent himself from touching Kazuha. As he could not risk what would happen if she held him tight.
