CHAPTER 25: Love me tonight and forever


Hitomi stopped talking and looked up and Van he was so handsome. He had a scar on his temple it wasn't noticeable in less you were close to him. His chocolate brown eyes glowed with anticipation and he held her close to him. His muscle's were evident even with his shirt on, he smiled at her and her heart melted. Hitomi threw her arms around his neck and pressed her lips against his, locking them in a long awaited kiss. Still kissing Van led Hitomi to the couch, Hitomi leaned back against it her arms resting behind her on the couch. They pulled back, Van stared at her and smiled his lopsided smile.

"God your beautiful."

"No." she said.

Van began kissing her neck, "Yeah you are."

"Van." she moaned.

Hitomi reached for his pants, she began unzipping the zipper. Van still kissing her neck, Hitomi got his zipper down, now she was fiddling with the button. Van was taking her top off, he had it over her head when Milerna's voice rang through the room.

"Hitomi!"

"Shit!" Hitomi cried.

Van jumped away from her, his pants falling down he tripped and fell into the coffee table with a bang. Hitomi pulled on her shirt and than began laughing hysterically at Van who was sprawled on top of the coffee table.

"Don't laugh I'm in pain." he mumbled.

Hitomi stood up and offered him her hand, he took it and she pulled him up.

"Nice boxers." she commented.

Van stood his pants at his ankles in blue silk scooby-doo boxers. Van grinned and pulled up his pants, well Hitomi pulled her shirt back on. They stared at each other and Van gave her a grin.

"I'll take a rain check on what just happened."

Hitomi smiled at him and nodded, just than Milerna walked in the room she looked at the two of them.

"Hitomi?" she asked.

"Yea?"

"Why do you have sex hair?"

"What the hell is sex hair?" Hitomi asked,

"Never mind." Milerna said, she glared at Van.

Hitomi laughed and shook her head, Van and Milerna were glaring at each other.

"Are you and Van going out now?" Milerna asked.

Hitomi looked at Van, he had a hopeful look on his handsome face. This was it her decision would decide everything but why was she hesitating this is what she wanted. She wanted to love Van, she wanted to be with Van but what about Dilandau. He loved her to didn't he this was begging to drive Hitomi off the wall.

Why does it have to be so complicated, why do I have to choose?

Things would be different now Hitomi had a thought that things with Dilandau would be different, she didn't no if they would still be friends. He cared about her and she rejected him, she wouldn't believe he did because she didn't want to hurt him. All Hitomi wanted was someone to love her but she didn't no it was going to be this complicated to found out who was going to love her. She looked at Van he had a soft look on his face, she could she the sorrow bubbling pushing past his cool exterior. Van was another who didn't want to be alone, he was alone since he was a child. His father abandoning him and his mother, his little sister dying, Aya his girlfriend from New York dying of an overdose, Bobbi, Frankie, Vinni tons of guys from gangs dying from senseless blood shed. Gang wars; they killed many people close to Van, he didn't want to be left alone. Hitomi stared at Van and smiled, a smile that surfaced from deep down inside her.

"Yes, yes we are." Hitomi finally said.

The look on Van's face made her smile even wider he looked so happy so full of life. Despite Milerna being in the room he grabbed Hitomi into a hug lifting her up, twirling her around in a circle. Hitomi laughed and smiled at him with love. He placed her on the floor and kissed her quickly on the lips and than he pulled her into a hug.

It feels right. Hitomi thought wrapping her arms tightly around his waist.

It felt right to Hitomi and also to Van. Hitomi felt so contented in his arms, she felt protected, she felt happy and she felt loved. The one thing she didn't feel was the feeling of loneliness, she was together with Van. Never to be alone. Milerna was forgotten well Van and Hitomi held each other smiling, it seemed like the world stopped neither of them wanted the moment to end.

"Hitomi." Van said.

"Van I...I don't want it to end."

"It doesn't and it wont."

"I love you." she said after a while.

Van tensed up at the sentence, the sentence to Van meant an ending, a goodbye.

She's not Aya, you wont lose her. He thought.

He didn't want to lose another person he cared about, he didn't want another goodbye, he didn't want an ending to something that just started.

"I love you to." he said.

Hitomi hugged him tighter, Van kissed the top of her head and rested his chin on it. Milerna watched them she felt happy for Hitomi despite the fact she was going out with Van. She watched them for a moment longer and than quietly left the room. Hitomi nor Van noticed Milerna leave, they just stood there in embrace. Tears found there way down Hitomi's face and she buried her face in Van's chest, he hugged her tighter.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I'm happy."

"Me to."
