Continued From Before...... (Chapter 3) Yumi broke away, scared, and angry at herself. 'My gosh, what have I just done?' She wondered, shaking and touching her lips. She was so scared of what had just happened. She couldn't keep herself from shaking. She sank to the ground and hid her head in her knees. Ulrick didn't understand. I wonder what the matter is. 'Why is she so sad?' He tried to think of how he could cheer her up, but didn't find much. So, he just sat down next to her, and waited. 'If she wants to talk about something, I will let her say it when she wants to say it.' He decided. Yumi looked over at him, and seeing him smile at her, made her smile too. She sighed and tried to start talking, but couldn't. 'How am I going to tell him? I don't even know what I'm trying to say!' she thought. As she racked her brain, trying to find the right words, Ulrick reached across and lightly touched her shoulder. "Um, Yumi, I was wondering if everything's Ok. I don't know what the matter is, and I'd like to know, because, well, I wasn't sure what just happened. I mean, um, I thought you had said that you wanted to kiss me, so I don't know if I read it wrong, or not." Ulrick finished and looked at Yumi, but she avoided his eyes. So, he waited, again. After a while, Yumi looked at him and tried to talk again. It was still hard for her, but she managed to finally say something. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. You didn't read the message wrong, but I shouldn't have sent it the way I did. I just... I just don't know what I was thinking. I'm sorry for causing you so much confusion." Again, she began to cry. 'I've cried more in the past 15 minutes than I have in my entire life.' She thought to herself. Ulrick wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say to make her feel better. For what seemed like forever, they just sat there, and waited still. Ulrick looked up at the sky and say that it was getting dark. He gasped and glanced at his watch, seeing that it was near seven o'clock. Yumi looked at her watch, and saw the same thing. She jumped up and started to head for home, when she stopped and turned towards Ulrick, "I'm sorry again for what I'm going to do." She said in a small voice, as she leaned forward and lightly kissed him again. Then she turned around at ran all the way home, not looking back at a smiling Ulrick.
To Be Continued In the next chapter, Yumi is still scared and mad at herself, but finds that she change what her heart tells her.
