Ch 2: My Love for Izumi.
Kouji get himself dress for Izumi's party. He wears a black t-shirt, his favorite blue jacket, long stormy blue trousers and his favorite blue-stripped bandana. (A/N: He couldn't live without his bandana…)
He looks at the well-wrapped present on the table. His heart started to beat faster every time he thinks of a way to confess to Izumi. He can feel his blood rushing through his veins as he takes the present.
He walks down and his father wants to give him a ride but he insists to take his bike. He drives the bike fast to Izumi's house. Okay…looks like a few more minute…I will reach Izumi's house…calm down, Kouji you can do it. Kouji thought as he sighs.
He knock at the door and waits for Izumi to open it. After a few seconds, Izumi open the door. She looks so beautiful with her pink blouse and purple mini skirt. He is the first one who reaches there so he has some privacy with Izumi. He notice Izumi is blushing every time he talk to her.
"Well, thanks for coming Kouji!" Izumi smile happily
"No problem. Anyway Happy Birthday Izumi" Kouji give Izumi the well wrapped present
"Thank you!" Izumi said taking the present from Kouji's hand.
Izumi tried to smile but she felt her heart pounding very fast. She starts to breathe hardly. Why am I feeling this way? Okay I know I have a crush on him…but…Kouji I find it very hard to tell you. Okay here goes…
"Kouji…I…" Izumi said softly
"Yea…." Kouji reply, "What's wrong?"
"…I…need to go to the toilet, excuse me" Izumi said sometime stupid and walk away.
"What's wrong with her?" Kouji murmur
Izumi walk to the toilet and wash her face with water. She looks at her reflection and sighs
"Why did you say sometime so humiliating in front of Kouji! Well…I guess I should go out and tell him," said Izumi facing the door.
She slowly walk out to the living room and Kouji is there taking a sip of his orange juice. She walks towards him and give him a gentle smile.
"What do you want to say just now?" asked Kouji.
"Well, I am just wondering why is Takuya and the others so late" Izumi give another stupid reason.
"Maybe they are caught in the traffic. I heard Junpei will give them a lift in his new car" Kouji sighs
"Yeah…I think so too" Izumi grin
"Izumi…what do you really want to say just now?"
"Well, is it just can I call you 'Kou'?" asked Izumi giving him a smile.
"…Yea whatever…" Kouji reply
"Thanks Kou" Izumi blushes
Ding Dong
Izumi walk towards the door and open it. Outside, Junpei, Tommy, Kouchi and Takuya are busy saying "Happy Birthday" to Izumi. They enjoy their time in Izumi's house.
The meal was delicious and Kouchi and Takuya almost eat up the whole table. Junpei is busy performing his tricks to the others. Everyone have a wonderful time especially for Izumi. At 10.30 p.m., Takuya decide to play true-or-dare. Everyone agreed.
They turn the bottle around in circles. Everyone became nervous when the bottle moves slower and slower. Everyone is hoping it won't land on them. The bottle stop and it point towards Kouji.
"True? Or dare?" Takuya grinned.
"…I will take the dare…"Kouji sign
"Let me see…" Takuya think for a moment.
"Hey Takuya why not you…" Kouchi whisper into Takuya's ear.
"That's right! Kouji… you had to kiss Izumi and wish her happy birthday" Takuya grin
"…. Wh-wh-what!" Junpei choked (A/N: As you know, he like Izumi)
"This is interesting… I should take a picture," Tommy said taking out his new camera.
"Well, that is a little…" Izumi blush
"Okay then, on her cheek! Or you rather to go lips to lips?" Kouchi grin
"Whatever…it's a dare…" Kouji say looking at Izumi, who is turning red.
Kouji stand up and walk towards Izumi, who is sitting next to Junpei. He takes a deep breath.
"Happy Birthday, Izumi" Kouji said giving Izumi a soft kiss on her cheek.
Izumi is petrified by that warm kiss. Junpei became frozen and he felt so disappointed. It's over…All over… Junpei thought. Tommy keeps on clicking on the camera, making sure he got the picture. Takuya and Kouchi continuously giggle at the interesting scene.
Kouji walk back to his place and sign. Well, I hope she understand…why I would do that… Kouji thought. The party continue on until 11 p.m. Junpei, Tommy, Takuya and Kouchi go home first, since Junpei promise his mother to be home by 11.30 p.m.
Kouji and Izumi are left alone again in the house. Izumi's parents are on a vacation so the house is kind of quiet.
"Hey, Kou…about that kiss…" Izumi say softly
"It's a dare" Kouji reply
"I mean…I…really do...lo-lo-lov-lo…" Izumi pause as Kouji place his finger on her lips.
"I also have sometime to say Izumi" Kouji say giving her a smile.
"What is it?" Izumi blushes
"I…forget about it" Kouji said looking away.
Izumi look sad. She looked away and signed very softly. Kouji looked at her and smile, trying to comfort the beautiful blue-eyed girl in front of him. Izumi turned towards Kouji and smile.
"Well…it's okay…" Izumi said.
"Yeah. Maybe you are right" Kouji smile
Even though he is smiling at me. His smile is filled with so much sadness and loneliness. But I am sure one day; he will be able to smile from the bottom of his heart to me. I am sure and I trust him…I will…forever. Izumi thought. But for now…I…should I tell him? Or should I wait for him to?
"It's getting late. I don't want to disturb you…" Kouji said looking at Izumi's blue eyes, "…Good Bye, Izumi"
"Ah…yeah…good-bye and good night" Izumi smile.
"Good night" Kouji said walking out from the house.
Kouji ride on his bike and drive away. When he said 'goodbye' I felt so…sad. I don't know why…maybe I should wait till he tells me…. I know I should tell you how I feel but…
