author's notes: This chapter was rushed so I'm apologizing for the wrong grammars, spellings, etc. It's really difficult for me to go to school without leaving you guys with a decent (uhm...longer?) chapter. Well, I guess this is the chapter before hiatus(is it possible to finish the story before school starts?). Enjoy!

Chapter 4: Yellow, Black, Orange and Red.

"Momoko..."

The rain finally stopped.

"Momoko..."

'What a beautiful name'. Never had he heard a name like that before. It was something new to his ears, something soothing and pleasant.

"Momoko..."

...August 24, 1987.

'She's turning nineteen tomorrow...just like me. '

o tick tock tick tock o

He looked at the clock, it was almost twelve midnight.

'10 seconds, 9 seconds, 8,7,6,5,4,3,2,...1'

"Happy birthday Momoko,"

Momoko woke up at around 8 am. She figured out that the guy, Yosuke, wasn't there anymore.

'Maybe he left after I fell asleep,'

She remembered what happened last night. She already told him that she can't remember anything. He said that they'll talk about it today. She got up and took a bath. She saw fresh clothes inside the bathroom and used them. She finally got out of the room and looked for Yosuke. She bumped into Nana in the hallway.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Good morning!"

"Oh hello. Good morning to you too. Master Yosuke had already left to arrange some things. He said that he'll be back late in the afternoon. Come with me, breakfast is waiting for you in the garden,"

Momoko was disappointed. She thought she'd see him again this morning but he already left.

She ate breakfast in the garden with Nana. Nana was a very kind person. She was Yosuke's nanny eversince he was born. She told Momoko everything about Yosuke. She told her about his childhood and life, his achievements and goals. According to Nana, Yosuke had been top of his class since childhood and has been very popular with women. He is also the heir to the Fuuma family's businesses. 'Seems like him,' Momoko thought.

"But eventhough he is popular, rich, and successful, Master Yosuke has always been lonely. I seldom see him smile. And yesterday, when he met you, was the first time that I saw him smile wholeheartedly," Nana said while looking directly at Momoko's eyes.

Momoko sat there, digesting Nana's words. And yesterday, when he met you, was the first time that I saw him smile wholeheartedly.

'What did she mean by that? Does she mean that I made Yosuke happy?'

"That's really nice of you to say, but I don't think Yosuke smiled like that because of me, I'm really nothing to be happy about," Momoko smiled nervously.

"Believe me, I know him very well. You're really special to him. He's been cheerful before he left. He usually just leaves a note but today he talked to me personally. He asked me to prepare a big meal for dinner. Hmmm...I don't know if he wants this because it's his nineteenth birthday today. It's odd because he never celebrates his birthday."

"It's his nineteenth birthday today? I don't have anything to give him. I haven't even greeted him,"

"Just greet him. He'll be happy with that. He gets tons of gifts but he never gets happy. Oh, I need to go to the grocery, there's so many things to buy," Nana stood up and cleared the table.

"Can I come with you Nana?"

The car's engine stopped and the door opened. Yosuke was very tired but he still was walking fast. He longed to see her again. He had almost turned the door knob to the main door when he heard sounds coming from the garden, he heard giggles. It sounded like Momoko. He walked slowly and tried to follow where the sound was coming from. He went pass through the gazebo and turned around the corner where the field was, and he saw her, he thought that she was lovelier when she is smiling.

Her hair was bouncing while she was running, her eyes were gleaming while she was playing with a ball...'Wait. Playing with a ball?'. The ball didn't look like it was a basketball or a beachball, it was something more like...'a soccerball?'

That's when he saw Momoko trip on the ball and fall face down. He came running towards Momoko.

"Hey! Are you alright?" He was breathing heavily now because of running and because of concern.

"MMmmmm..."

"Talk to me! Do you want me to take you to the hospital?" Yosuke was getting more and more concerned now that she wasn't moving.

"Mmmmmm..." she moaned.

"Okay, that's it. I'm taking you to the hospital," Yosuke said while making Momoko face him. Her eyes were shut but she was smiling. Yosuke was quite confused. And then Momoko gently sat up and opened her eyes...and...

"Happy birthday Yosuke!" Momoko yelled that made Yosuke fall back.

"God, you scared me. Thank you very much for knowing my birthday and greeting me enthusiastically. So much for a birthday gift,"

"Oh, but I got something else to give you," Momoko grinned from ear to ear. She stood up, took the ball, and placed it in Yosuke's hands.

Yosuke just looked at it with a blank look on his face. He finally looked up at Momoko, "Wow, thank you very much for giving me my old soccer ball," Yosuke said confused(again... ;)

"No, that's not my gift," Momoko took out something from her pockets and gave it to him. They were soccer gloves. The ones that goalies use to block the ball out of the goal. It was a yellow one with black designs.

"Wow, these are really nice. But where did you get the money and how did you know that I liked these?"

"Nana gave me the money, she said that you loved soccer and you were a goalie, so I went to the mall with her and bought you those. I thought that the color suits you very well. I hope you liked it," Momoko stared at the gloves. It was really difficult for her to tell him those things, specially when they've only met. She felt that he was staring at her and she could feel her cheeks getting hot.

Then she felt his hand hold hers and saw him put it on his chest, on his left chest where the heart is located.

"Thank you very much. I love your gift. It's the best gift I had received." Yosuke leaned forward and kissed Momoko on the forehead.

Momoko was now as red as a tomato. She didn't expect that to happen but she liked it...a lot. She smiled and looked up at the sky. The sun was setting and it was a mixture of orange and red.

"The sunset's lovely, isn't it?" Momoko threw herself on the grass, looking up the marvelous gift of god.

"Yes, very lovely," Yosuke looked at Momoko happily.

'You're very lovely, and I like you a lot. I thank him for letting me meet you. I've always wondered what it feels like to be in heaven, now I know,' Yosuke too lay down on the grass, holding Momoko's hands, looking up at the sky. He felt her bracelet and smiled. The day isn't over yet.
