Chapter six: Their Feeling for Their Love

--------The next morning--------

Ran woke up from last night's intimidate moments with Shinichi. She quickly picked up her clothes and ran to her bathroom in her bedroom. She took a shower to refresh herself after last night's experience. She felt great and energetic; more cheerful as compared to the past few weeks. She came out of the bathroom, seeing that Shinichi was still dreaming, she quietly left her room and went to the park for a morning walk.

She took in deep, refreshing breaths of cool air, which she had not done so for a long time. Then, she heard someone calling her name.

"Ran Mouri!"

"Oh! Hi Aoko… what brings you here?" Ran asked.

... Nothing much… just passed by here coincidentally. So, why are you here?" Aoko sounded pretty nervous as she tried to avoid answering the question.

"Oh, really? It seems to me that Kaito's house happens to be near here?" knowing the obvious reason for Aoko's appearance.

"So? Fine, Yeah you are right. I went to Kaito's house last night! Ok? We just sort of got too close than I expected… but nothing really happen between us! I swear!" Aoko began speaking faster than her usual pace.

"Oh are you sure nothing happened?" Ran smiled. She knew they would make a perfect couple.

"Really! All we did was just kissing in his bedroom but was eventually disturbed by the sudden phone call from the Black Organization. And you should know that Kaito and I could never be together…. He's marrying you…" her voice began to trail off as she turned to a frown.

Ran forgot that she had been engaged to Kaito! She was too engrossed in making out with Shinichi last night that she jolly well forgot about her promise and his proposal. Oh my god, How is she going to reject Shinichi's love now? There's no way she can back out from the wedding! Shinichi will most probably be killed by the Black Organization! She gasped at the thought….

"What happened, Ran? How come you become so shocked? Did you see anything or anyone?" Aoko prompted the 'frozen' Ran.

She shook her head to clear all her thoughts as she replied, " Nothing happened. Just remembered that I am going to be Mrs. Kaito… "

Aoko wanted to let out a cry. She wants to be Mrs. Kaito too! And moreover Kaito had confessed to her last night that he only loves her. Not Ran! He's just carrying out his promise. Sigh. Why had her love life ended up this way?

"I'm sorry…" Ran rapidly apologized as she recalled the fact that Aoko loves Kaito and he too must have loved her. She herself also did not wish to marry to Kaito, as she only loves Shinichi. He's her one and only love.

"I better get going before my dad suspects anything about me…" Aoko bid Ran goodbye as she sped off.

"I better prepare some breakfast for Shinichi now," Ran jogged home and was amused to see Shinichi still asleep.

--------At home--------

"I didn't know you are such a heavy sleeper," Ran murmured as she stood beside him. She bent over him, kissed gently on his forehead. She loves him so much that she had waited for him for so many years. How can she bear the pain to leave him?

Suddenly, she could feel two strong arms wrapping around her, pulling her down towards him. She was so close to him that she could feel his breath. She subconsciously feels warm lips against hers as she was still shocked by his actions. She returned him a deeper and passionate kiss as she began to pull away from him, sitting on the bed, beside him.

"Weren't you asleep?" Ran inquired in a mock-angry tone. She was blushing from the kisses and close contacts she had with Shinichi just now.

"I was till your kiss woke me up," Shinichi answered casually. He sat up right, seeing that Ran had changed into her proper clothes yet he was still naked, his face turned pink.

"You get changed while I prepare your breakfast. And I have something important to tell you…" Ran dared not to look into his eyes.

Not again, she's going to tell me about her engagement with Kaito, is she? Oh no! How? Shinichi was puzzled as he replied, "Alright, I'll come down in a minute."

Eating his breakfast…

"Shinichi, I want you to know that I am engaged to Kaito…"

"Because of me. I know it is my fault and I seriously don't want to hear anymore about your agreement with him, okay? You are mine, Ran. No one can get you away from me." Shinichi interrupted as he reached out for Ran's hands. He held them close to him, looking into the eyes of his beauty.
