Oichi was in shock and in disbelief. She couldn't believe what was going on right in front of her eyes. In her home. In her bed. Rukia's eyes were widen as she kept herself covered. Renji was stumbling as he grabbed his underwear. "Babe I can explain!" He says coming to Oichi. Oichi bit her lip. She smacked Renji in the face. "You bastard!" Renji stumbled back. "You said I was the only one! You said that you only loved me and that you weren't cheating! You lying fuck!" Renji frowned. "Just let me explain." "Explain what! There is nothing to explain! You're having sex with another woman in my home, in my bed! It's clear cut to me!"
"That's were your wrong." "What!?" "This house doesn't belong to you nor does this bed. The deed to this house is no longer in our name. It's in mine and Rukia's now." Oichi grits her teeth. "I'm sorry for lying to Oichi but I won't no longer. I have been with Rukia for a while now. Everything Orihime told you was true. Rukia is having my child now and I have to provide her with a home now. I'm sorry." Oichi smacked him again. "Screw you and your sorrys Renji! You aren't sorry! I told you that if you had someone you could have told me! Why did you have to waste my time like this huh! Do you really care to see me suffer so much!" Tears started running down her cheeks. Renji looked away. "I…I need the ring off your finger Oichi. Please." "You don't have to ask for it." Oichi says taking the ring off. She threw it at Renji. "You can have this piece of crap." She glared at Rukia. "You were supposed to be my friend and then you go and do something like this. How could you?" Renji blocked her view of her. "That's enough Oichi." "No, it's not enough! What I should do is kick both of your asses for playing me like a damn fool! If you didn't want me anymore Renji all you had to do was say something! Not string me along like a puppet!"
"I'm…" "I hate you!" Oichi says. Renji looks at her. "I hate both of you…" Rukia looked hurt. "Oichi...I…I'm…" "DON'T say my name…" Oichi says. Renji sighs. "Look, I…got you an apartment not too far from your job. I want you to get your stuff and leave. You no longer live here. We are no longer together. I'm sorry but it's over between you and me." Oichi grabbed her chest. She balls up her fist and hits Renji right in the face. Renji falls down holding his nose. "Fuck!" "Renji!" Rukia got up, wrapped in the sheet, and ran to him. Oichi grabs Rukia by her arm ready to give her the same treatment until she looked at her stomach. Rukia shut her eyes ready to take the hit but Oichi let her go. Even if she was full of hurt and anger she couldn't take it out on her. She'd never could cross that line. She looked at Renji who was recovering from the hit.
Oichi turned around and headed downstairs. Her chest felt like it was caving in. The tears kept running down her face. More than anything she wanted to rampage this entire house. Destroy everything and leave them with nothing.
She stopped at a photo of her and Renji on the wall. She frowned at it and punched it, three times in anger, shattering the glass. She could see the blood running down her hand from the cuts on her fist. She frowned and walked out the door. It was pouring outside but Oichi didn't care. She started to slowly walk off. The rain quickly soaked through her clothes as she walked away from the house she lived. She walked away from the man she loved for six years. She walked away from the life she dreamed…
Grimmjow was sitting at home drinking a beer. He sighed as he enjoyed the peacefulness in his apartment. He was going to have some company over but he wasn't in the mood. For days all he could think about was Oichi. They talked a lot when he was there at the café. At first, his goal was to sweet talk her like he usually does. Get her to go out with him for some drinks, come home with her, and then show her what's it like to sleep with a real man. However, the more he talked to her the more he felt in tune. Her smile warmed his heart and she was so easy to make happy. He looked forward to seeing her and just her when he came to do his job.
Of course, people at the work place started noticing how peaceful he was getting. It didn't help that Luppi and his big mouth was telling everyone how he was head over heels in love with Oichi. Gin made matters worse. He slipped up and told him how when he first saw Oichi her smile pierce right though his heart. Gin quickly pointed out that this was love at first site something Grimmjow never believed in. He then ran down the facts such as he couldn't keep Oichi out of his mind despite knowing her for a few days, His longing to see her as soon as possible, feeling at ease when he spoke to her.
Grimmjow sighs. "Fuck…and I really in love?" He's been in one relationship in all his life. It was a bit awkward since they had been friends for a very long time. It started weird and slow but a lot of mistakes and things were said and made to where it was impossible to stay together. He wasn't sure if that was love. When it came to Oichi his whole vision changes. All he wanted to do was hold her even getting her in bed had become pointless to him. Though if he did get a chance to hold her he wouldn't heist to bed her.
Whoever this Renji guy was, he was taking her for granted. If he had Oichi he'd make she'd never feel lonely and make sure she was as happy as possible. She didn't ask for much only for someone to spend time with her.
Unlike the women he went after they were all gold diggers and wanted the most expensive things. They wanted to be pampered and only cared about when he was going to buy them things. Sure, he didn't mind it at times since they were easy to get into his bed but Oichi was different. To put his former plan in motion, to sweet talk her he had asked her what her ideal date was. He was prepared to hear her name an expensive restaurant or something like that but her answer through him off. Her idea date was a dinner at home with a nice glass of sweet wine. He couldn't help but laugh. Like really laugh. Something he hasn't done in quite some time. Oichi had pouted so cutely at him so he had to explain how innocent her answer was to him.
Grimmjow chuckled as he remembered her clueless face. Oichi was a sweet and caring person yet, so gullible and naïve. He couldn't help but to be drawn to her more and more. In fact, he started to want to give her that ideal date she wanted if she ever could open her eyes to the man she's so blindly in love with. In their conversations, she had told him about the issues with her and her man and the sighs were clear to him. Her man had a side piece on the side. It was only a matter of time until he…
Grimmjow phone started to ring, knocking him out of his thoughts. It was sitting on the table in front of him. He sighed. "I swear…it better not be work. Fucking idiots can't do a thing without me." He picked it up and then smirked. "Well then…" It was Oichi. "Seems like she might want those drinks after all." He picked up. "Hey what's up." He could hear the rain outside. Was she outside in this weather? "Um…Grimmjow…d-do you think I can take up on that offer? With the drinks?" Grimmjow frowned just from the tone of her voice he could tell something was wrong. "Where are you?" "…Can I meet you somewhere?" "No, where are you. I'll come get you now." There was a pause. "…The park…" "The pa…what the fuck are you doing at the park!? Why are you even outside in…" Grimmjow sighs. "Never mind that. I'm on my way." He gets up and grab his keys, jacket and an extra jacket for her. He also grabbed an umbrella and quickly head out.
It took merely seconds for Grimmjow to reach the park in his car. He couldn't remember the last time he drove so fast, especially in the rain. He got out with the jacket and umbrella and walked in the entrance of the park. He looked around. The rain was getting heavy and it was getting cold. "Where the hell is she?" He walked through the playground area and looked around. "Not here…" He walked to the bathrooms and finally saw Oichi sitting on the bench with her head down. He walked up to her and placed the jacket over her head. She was drench from head to toe. "Oichi? Let's go." Oichi looked up at him slowly. The sad and hurt look in her eye pained his own heart. Grimmjow offered his hand as he opened the umbrella. She took his hand. "We can have drinks at my place and you can tell me why the hell you're our here in this weather." Oichi was silent. Grimmjow placed the umbrella over their heads and walked to the car. For some reason his chest was swelling up on the inside. He was happy that he was bringing Oichi to his place but he wasn't liking the events that led up to this.
Reaching his place Grimmjow helped Oichi inside. "You need to get out of these wet clothes. I have clothes here from other women but they might not be your style." He grabbed her hand and held it up. It started to bleed. "Did you cut yourself!?" Oichi didn't answer. Grimmjow frowned. "Oichi I can't help if you don't answer. Tell me what's going on?" Oichi looked up at him she bit her lip. "…He…I…" Tears appeared back into her eyes and she started to cry. Grimmjow eyes widen and grabbed her by her arms. "What happened." "I found Renji and Rukia in bed together!" She cried out. Grimmjow mentally sighed. He knew something like this was going to happened but not so soon. He pulled her into a hug. "Don't cry. I know your upset but to storm out in this weather…" "He kicked me out…" Grimmjow looked down at her. "He did what?" Oichi turned her eyes on his chest. Tears were still running down her cheeks. "He took the house out of our name. He put it in his and Rukia's name…" Grimmjow felt Oichi's shivering hands grip the back of his shirt.
Grimmjow grits his teeth. He could feel anger boiling up inside him. It conflicted him a bit since he was no stranger in kicking girls out but, he would never put them out when the weather wasn't right. He would at least called them a uber or something to get them to where they want to be. How low much a person be to kick a girl like Oichi out. Grimmjow pushed Oichi away just a bit, making her look up at him. "You can take a shower here. I'll make you something hot to eat at least." Oichi sniffed. He grabbed her cut hand. "What happened to your hand? Did he hurt you?" Oichi shook her head. "I um…punched a picture on the wall…" Grimmjow chuckled. "Did you know. Let me check this out first to make sure there is no glass on or in your hand. You can stay here for tonight and we can figure this out in the morning." Oichi looked at her hand. "Are you sure?" "You don't have anywhere to go right now do you?" Oichi shook her head. "Then it's fine. Come on." He pulled he to his room. "T-Thank you…"
Once Oichi was cleaned up she was sitting on the couch in Grimmjow's living room bundled up in a thick blanket. Grimmjow was in the kitchen making some soup and tea for them. Oichi ended up wearing one of Grimmjow's shirt. She picked a long sleeve black shirt from his dresser. The other clothes for the women he had was to…exotic…for her. He didn't seem to mind her wearing his shirt. Her hair was in a puffy bun thanks to the rain. She had no bra on but she did find a pair of cute black and white stripe panties with white little ribbons on the side. She couldn't resist them. Her right hand was bandaged up. This would be the second time Grimmjow had helped her.
A movie was playing on TV but, Oichi was lost in her own thoughts. Renji had said he had gotten her an apartment. However, there was no telling which hotel he picked. Now, she was not picky about certain things but one of the things she refused to do was sleep in a broke down hotel with no security, bugs and rats everywhere, and in a bad part of town. He said it was near her job and there were only three places that are within walking distance from there and they were not good.
Another thing she had to do was explain to Nel and the others what happened. She also had to deeply apologize to Orihime and Ichigo. She felt terrible. Here Orihime warn her about something she had seen with her own eyes and she yelled at her not wanting to believe her words. She hugged herself under the blanket. 'I'm so terrible…Orihime nor Ichigo wouldn't lie to me about something like that. I was so blinded by love that I saw no sighs…' She sniffed, holding her tears back.
In the kitchen the soup was nearly ready. Grimmjow had never cooked for anyone other than himself so it felt a little weird. He looked over at Oichi who was out of it. He wanted the full story of what happened. In her state she might freak out again and he didn't want that so he let it go. The smell of the soup started to pour into the living room. Oichi sat up a bit. Her stomach growled slightly making her blush. 'Please, don't let him my stomach…'
Moments later Grimmjow walked to her carrying a bowl of soup and a cup of tea. "Come on you gotta eat." Oichi sat up from under the blanket. It slides down to her waist. Grimmjow couldn't help but to check her out in her shirt. She had gotten one of his fitted shirts that he hasn't wore in a while. It looked good on her. He handed her the bowl and walked over to get a small stand to put her tea cup on. Oichi sips on the soup and hums slightly. A smile comes to her face. "It's really good." Grimmjow smiles. "Glad you like it. I made enough so you can have seconds if you want." "Thank you."
Oichi went through three bowls of soup before she was full. Grimmjow was drinking a beer while she sipped on her tea. "…I feel so stupid…" Oichi says. Grimmjow glanced at her. "Orihime told me that she saw Renji and Rukia but I snapped at her for lying and ignored her words. Maybe if I had pressured Renji harder I would have notice." Grimmjow looks at the TV. "You wouldn't have." Oichi frowned and looked at him. "Your madly in love with the guy. In your eyes he could do no wrong which worked to his advantage. Don't get me wrong. He's a piece of shit for what he did to you. He basically was gold digging you." "Gold digging? Like the type of women, you like?" "I don't like them. They are just drawn to me. Your guy waited until he was able to put your house in his name. If I were you I would check my bank and anything else you two might have shared. Made sure he didn't leave you in any kind of debt." "He wouldn't do…" Oichi stopped herself. "…Yeah…" She no longer could really say that now. She's been defending him with those same words and look what happened. Her bag was on the floor next to her covered in a towel. She reached down and pulled her phone out of it. She looked down at her phone. Could he had really taken her money as well? She opened up her account with shaking hands. It loaded up and her eyes widen. Her heart sinks. Grimmjow looked at her phone to see that she had a balance of zero in both her checking and savings. He frowned. He didn't really think that the dude would take the money to. He was just making a point.
Oichi bit her lip and held her tears in. She turns her phone off and kept looking down. "He's taken everything from me…everything…"
Grimmjow shook his head. He was starting to feel a bit bad. "You need to get some rest. I'll get the bed ready for you." "N-No…I don't need the bed. I can take the couch. You've done much for me already." Oichi says wiping her eyes. "It's no big deal. You had a rough night. I can let you have my bed for tonight." Oichi drops her phone back in her bag and looks down at her tea. "You're going out of your way to help me. Is there anything I can do to repay you?" Grimmjow chuckled. "Yeah actually, keep your word and have some drinks with me when you're feeling better." Oichi nodded. "I can do that but um…I don't drink beer." "Ho? Then what do you drink?" "I like Rum. The sweet ones and sometimes vodka." Grimmjow laughed. It made her pout just a bit. "What's so funny? It can't be that my answer was all innocent like last time." Grimmjow drowns the rest of his beer. "No, it's nothing like that. I thought you would say something like a margarita. You don't look like a drinker at all." Oichi shrugs. "My mother is a drinker. It's hard not to pick up a little something." Grimmjow chuckled. "You're a weird chick." Oichi smiles slightly then frowns.
"Grimmjow…you have um…slept with a lot of women, right?" "Yup." "Have you ever cheated on them?" "I've only been in one relationship in my life and I never cheated on her. Even got a kid with her." Oichi's eyes widen. "You have a child?" "Yeah, he should be around seven months by now. I get him every other week or so." "I see…" "You wanted to ask why do people cheat?" Grimmjow says leaning back on the couch. Oichi nods. "Well I don't know why people cheat. There are many different answers to it ranging from where a person is just bored with their current life and wanted more excitement. To where a person might have just grown apart from their partner and found someone else but, they can't bear to break their partner's heart or some shit like that. Who knows."
Oichi rubbed her chest. "I just wish he would have told me or let me know. If he was unhappy I would have done anything to fix it. How do I know what's wrong if he never talks to me about it. Why lie to my face!? For three years!" She shook getting upset. Grimmjow rubbed his head. He moved closer to her and took her tea cup and sat it on the stand. He then wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer to him. He places his head on hers. "It's bad to hold it in. You can let it out. You'll feel better." He says. Oichi's hands were covered over her face as she started crying once more.
"I loved him so much. I would have done anything for him! Why did he do this to me? What did I do wrong!? How could he take everything from me!?" Grimmjow held her tighter as she cried. He wished he could answer these questions for her. Even though he has never cheated it wouldn't really change the fact that he could be a bit…cruel…towards some of the girls he slept with. He's treated some like trash, he's put some down with harsh words, hell he wouldn't hesitate to smack a bitch if she came at him with some stupid shit. He wasn't in a good spot to answer her questions all he could do was hold her under she finished crying.
Minutes later, Oichi had gone limp on Grimmjow. He carefully moves away from her and lays her down on the couch. He carried her empty dish to the kitchen and placed them on the table. He then walked to his room. He laid down an extra blanket for her. He moved anything for his work to the side. Flipping the blanket over he puffed up the pillows so she would be comfortable. Once that was done he went back to get Oichi. He pulled the blanket off her. His shirt went down to her hips. He could see the black and white stripe panties. He couldn't help but chuckle. He picked her up bridal style. She stirred a bit before she cuddled up in his arms.
'So cute…' Grimmjow says looking down at her. She was very light. Her face was a bit puffy from crying but she had such a peaceful sleeping face. What man wouldn't want to wake up looking at this face when he got up. He looked at her lips. 'I wonder how soft her lips are.' His heart did a flip as he felt his face heating up just a bit. He shook his head. 'No, no I can't. She just got dump you idiot. You can't try going for her now!' He yelled at himself. He brought Oichi to the room and lays her down on the bed. He places the blankets over her and sits down beside her.
He watched her sink deeper into her sleep. She started to frown as a tear ran down the side of her eye. "Even in your sleep you end up crying." He rubs the tear from her face and then rubs her side. She lets out a sigh and a slight smile appears on her face. Grimmjow couldn't help but to smile. "You like being rubbed down huh?" Oichi mumbled something before turning half way on her back. His eyes went back to her lips. A strong desire was coming over him. He gulps as he moves closer to her. He leans down over her face and leans down. His lips were inches away from hers. Just a little more and he could find out how soft these lips were.
He then stops himself just as she turns her head. He quickly backs up and cover his face. 'Idiot…what's wrong with you? Why are you stopping? She's right there sleeping! No, No…I can't take advantage of her while she's sleeping. If I do I might not stop…I might go too far…I can't take this change right now.' Grimmjow shook his head and got up. He's never had a mental battle with himself before over a woman. He had to add that to the list of weirdness. He also never had such a strong desire just to kiss someone. He turns to Oichi. 'What makes her so special for me to be acting this way.' He rubbed his chest. He heart was beating out of control. "Dammit all…" He mumbles as he closed the door behind him.
The next morning Oichi was woken up by yelling.
"What the hell are you doing!?" "I don't have to answer your questions! Get the fuck out my place!" "No! Today you are watching him! Get over it!" "I watched him last fucking week!" "So WHAT! He's your son so get over it!" Oichi sat up rubbing her head. She recognized the screaming voices. "Nel?" She got up and walked over to the door. She could hear the arguing getting loud and with it she heard slight crying. She opened the door only to see Nel about to throw a cup in Grimmjow's face. They both turned to her with a shocking expression.
"Oichi!?" "Nel!?" Grimmjow looked at them. "You two know each other?" Suddenly Nel smacked Grimmjow. "Ow! What the hell is wrong with you!" He yelled. "What the hell is wrong with you!? Why is Oichi coming out of your room half naked! What did you do!" She yelled. "I didn't do anything to her! Why did you think I was in my damn living room when you kicked down my fucking door! A door that your ass will be paying for!"
Oichi watched them go back and forth until she saw the car seat and heard crying. She walked over to it and lifted the sheet off it. She saw Grayson. He looked tired. He was getting fussy like he wanted to sleep but due to the yelling he couldn't go. He rubs his face while tears were rolling down his cheeks. When he saw Oichi he reached out for her. She smiled and took him out his car seat. She picked him up and bounced him slightly. She could feel him rubbing his face in her shoulder trying to go to sleep.
Nel slammed her hand on the table. "Will someone explain what is going on!"
Ichigo was home looking at job requests. Right now, he was a freelancer, doing any job no matter how stupid it was. Early this morning he was being asked to help clean the streets due to the unwelcome storm last night. They were offering 14 dollars an hour so he quickly took it before it got to full of people. He was a little late on his rent so he was taking any job he could get. He sighs as he leans back on his couch. Usually Rukia would be just getting up to cook breakfast. The house was so silent now. He picks his phone up. "I wonder if Oichi is up yet. I can invite her to breakfast…" He rubs his head and blushed a bit. "If only she'd open her eyes about Renji then maybe…" His phone started to ring. He looked down to see Nel was calling him. He frowned. "She better not be calling me about her kid." He picked up. "Yes, Nel." "ICHIGO YOU NEED TO COME OVER HERE NOW!" Ichigo had to pull the phone away from his ear. "Would you stop yelling! Calm down and where am I going!?" Ichigo says. "Come to 2150 Pandora complex!" Ichigo raised his eyebrow. "The apartments near Hueco Mundo? Why?" "Just come over here and bring Orihime!" She hung up. Ichigo rolled his eyes. "What could she possibly want."
He got up and grabbed his keys and jacket. It was chilly outside. Once he put his shoes on he headed out to his car and headed to Orihime's place.
Orihime was having breakfast with Tatsuki. "Orihime don't look so down." Orihime looked at her. "Yeah. I know." "Look, there is no point in still beating yourself up about Oichi and Renji. If she didn't believe you then she'd just have to find out the hard way." Orihime nods. "Yeah." Tatsuki pats her head. "Look, Oichi is the type of person who doesn't like to point finger until she has all the facts. She's also a person who knows when her friends aren't lying so I'm sure she took your words into account. It's only reasonable to have a little doubt after hearing what you saw and heard." Orihime nods. "Yeah." Tatsuki sighs. "Oh Orihime…Tell me, have you put in any thoughts about going after Ichigo now that Rukia is out of the picture?" Orihime blushes. "What!? I-I can't do that! He's clearly more into Oichi." "Well he can't get Oichi now can he? What is with guys who want things they can't have. Just ask him over for lunch. Put on your charms." Orihime put her hands over her face. "N-No I can't! It too much." Tatsuki chuckled at her friend. "Don't worry. I'll give you a push in the right direction."
The doorbell rings. Orihime looked at the door. "Who could that be." She got up and unlocked the door. She opened it and saw Ichigo standing at the door. "Ichigo!? What are you doing here?" Orihime asks. "Nel asked me to bring you with me." "Did something happen to Nel?" "The hell if I know. She just called yelling for me to come to the complex in Hueco Mundo." Tatsuki walked over. "Sounds exciting. Mind if I tag along?" Ichigo shrugs. "Sure, knock yourself out."
Nel was pacing and fuming. "That jerk! I should go over there and punch him in the face!" Oichi was sitting on the couch with a sleeping Grayson cuddled up to her. She was wearing a pair of shorts under the shirt she had on. Grimmjow was in the kitchen making her something to eat. "Oichi why didn't you call me!?" Oichi looked down. "…I'm sorry Nel. I just wasn't really thinking. Everything happened and ended so quickly." Nel frowns and turns to Grimmjow. "Don't you have enough side chicks! Stop trying to get in my friend's pants!" Grimmjow turns to her. "Shut up. Jeez. I wasn't trying to get in her pants. Like I explained already I brought her in from the rain, let her take a shower, fixed her some food, and let her use my bed. So would you get off my ass already!"
Grayson whimpered in Oichi's arm. She rocked him a bit. "Um, can we please not yell right now." Nel sighs and sits on the arm of the couch. "I can believe he kicked you out like that. In the storm at the most! Doesn't he realize how sick you can get!" Grimmjow looks at Oichi. "Sick? Well it's only natural to get sick, especially in that outfit." Nel looked at him. "Shush your face. Oichi has always been a sickly person. The slightest cold can put her in the hospital for a month." Grimmjow raises his eyebrow. "I'll be fine Nel. I wasn't in the rain for a long time so it's okay." Nel crossed her arms. "Still…" Oichi smiles at her. "I'm okay for the most part. Grimmjow took really good care of me." Grimmjow turned his face from her to hide his flushing face. Nel slides down into the couch. "I see. I just can't believe that you came to him of all people." Oichi looks down at Grayson. "I knew he looked familiar. I just couldn't place him." Grimmjow walked over with a plate of eggs, bacon, and some bread. He also made coffee. He placed it on the stand near her. "So, when you said you had a kid…you were talking about little Grayson. He gets his looks from you haha." Grimmjow rolled his eyes as he sat next to her. "Yeah, yeah…" He looks down at Grayson. "I see he is very attached to you." Oichi nodded. "Yeah, I think I spoiled him too much." "Hand him here." Grimmjow says. Nel eyes shift to him. "You need to eat something. Can't eat if you're holding him." Oichi smiles and nods and hands Grayson to him.
Nel narrows her eyes at him. "You never offer to hold him before…" Grimmjow looks at her. "Are you really going to start that now? She has to eat, doesn't she? Then you'd be over my ass for not feeding her." Oichi grabbed her plate and started eating. "I'm just saying. You are being very friendly today." "Just because I'm holding my son…" "You offering to hold your son is the point. I have to force you to all the time." "Have you ever thought that forcing me annoyed the hell out of me." Oichi sips on her coffee. "Mmm…so good."
"I'm just saying Grimmjow. You're only this nice when you want to get in someone's pants." "I've already told you that I wasn't trying to get in her pants. I think she's been through enough." Nel rolls her eyes. "Oichi. Did he try anything? Did he touch you?" Oichi placed her empty plate on the tray. "No…if anything he just comforted me." She smiles sadly. "No matter how many times I replay last night my chest still aches. I thought it was like a bad dream until I woke up to an empty bed. He's taken everything from me Nel…my home, my money, the life I wanted with him. I don't know what to do…" Nel frowns. "Oichi…" Oichi held her tears back. "He said he got me an apartment…I don't have anywhere to go but, I don't have much of a choice now."
"No, you're not going." Grimmjow says. They looked at him. "I have some friends around that area and I called around since I figured you didn't even know the apartment complex name. You said it was near the café though. A guy fitting your ex was seen in the motel near the old additions of apartments." Nel gasp. "What? A motel!? That son of a…" "I don't have a place to live anymore. I don't have any money. I can't stay here…I have to." Oichi says. The doorbell rings waking Grayson up. He looks around and sits up in Grimmjow's lap. Nel gets up to answer the door.
He looks up at Grimmjow. "DA!" He says happily. He pats Grimmjow's hand. "Da! Da! Da! Da!" Oichi smiles. "To cute." Grayson looks at Oichi with sparkles in his eyes. "Haiii!" He moves off of Grimmjow and crawls to her. He crawls into her lap and lays stomach first on her. Oichi giggles a bit and rubs his back. "Good morning to you to." "He's completely attached to you." Oichi smiles. "Yeah…" "Hey look…I don't mind you staying for a while at least until you get back on your feet." Oichi looks at him. "Thank you but, you've done so much for me already. I can't…" "It's fine. Like I said it's only until you get on your feet. I know some apartment complex around town. They don't cost an arm and leg. It just won't be walking distance from your job anymore but I have no issue of bring you to work and back." "Why are you offering to do all of this?" Grimmjow scratches his head. "I don't know. I just…don't want to see someone like you struggle on your own. It's not like were friends or anything but, it's just something about you that make me want to help you."
Oichi tilts her head to the side a bit. "I consider you as my friend Grimmjow." "Is that right?" "Yeah it is. We talk every day at the café. You know things about my life and I know things about yours. You helped me last night and offered me your home to stay in. Nel keeps saying that you were trying to get in my pants but, I feel like if you were then you would have already done it if that were the case." Grimmjow chuckled and then laughed a bit. "That is true. If you stay here I can't promise that I'll keep my hands to myself all the time." He reached up and rubbed her cheek. "You ever realize how soft your skin is? It makes me want to touch you all over." Oichi felt her cheek heat up. Grimmjow laughs more. "You're so easy to tease." Oichi pouts and moved his hand away. "S-Shut up…"
"Oichi?" Oichi turns to see Ichigo, Orihime, and Tatsuki. Ichigo shot a glare at Grimmjow who was sitting to close for comfort to Oichi. "Oichi why are you here? What happened?" Orihime says. Oichi sighs. They took a seat as she told them everything that happened.
Rukia was up in the kitchen drinking some tea. Renji was cooking breakfast in silence. His nose was bandage from Oichi's hit last night. "…We should find out if she's okay…" Rukia says. Renji said nothing. "She left without the keys to the apartment. You know how sickly she can get. She doesn't have her meds with her or anything." Renji placed a plate on the table. "I'm sure she's fine. Eat." He says. Rukia frowns. "…Why didn't you just end it like I said you should have!" "Does it really matter Rukia? She's gone. You're here! Things went a bit rough but what matters is that I kept my promise to you. I told you I was going to take care of you, provide for you and our child. I told you that we will be together and now we are." Rukia sighs. "Yeah…"
Renji walks over and kisses her forehead. "Don't be so down. Either way this was going to happen. Right now, we need to focus on us and our baby." He rubbed her belly. Rukia smiled. They shared a kiss. "Now, I got to get ready for work. Don't push yourself to hard today and if you need me let me know. I'm only a phone call away." Rukia nodded and watched him leave the kitchen. Her smile drops and she picks her phone up. She scrolls down to Oichi's name. She was about to click on it before she stopped herself. Did she have the right to call Oichi right now? There is a huge chance that she wouldn't even pick up the phone if she called. She placed her phone down. She felt so terrible about last night. Getting caught by Oichi, watching her heart break, seeing the anger and hurt in her eyes at her and Renji. Rukia rubs her face. 'No, it was going to happen. If me and Renji was going to be together then it had to be done. Would it have been better if we kept seeing each other on the side? No. It would have made matters worse. I'm sure Oichi will one day understand and then maybe we can be friends all over again.' Rukia says to herself. "I hope…we can be friends again…"
Ichigo was pissed. He was angry, frustrated, furious! "How did he kick you out your own home?" He says gripping his fist. Oichi sighs "It's not my home anymore Ichi…he's taken everything." Ichigo wanted to go over there and beat the crap out of Renji. To toss her out in the rain like that was a mistake Renji was going to regret and he was going to make sure of that.
"So are you going to stay here with…this guy?" Tatsuki says pointing at Grimmjow. "His name is Grimmjow, Tatsuki. He works as the head security guy at the café." "Ah, is that how you two know each other?" Oichi nodded. "Out of the question." They looked at Ichigo. "You're not staying here." Grimmjow frowned. "Why is that strawberry." "Don't play dumb. I know how you are with women." Grimmjow smirked. "I let them know how a real man is in bed. Nothing to serious. I'm sure you can do the same thing if you tried." Ichigo flushed a bit. "Shut up! She's not staying here. Why would I trust her with you!?" "So you want her to stay with you? I mean you barely have a job now Berry head." Ichigo frowned. "How are you going to help her when your struggling yourself? Me? I have a nice paying job. I don't have any issues sleeping on the couch or sharing a bed…" He looks at Oichi who turns her head slightly. "…and I can help her find a decent place that doesn't cost too much and around. I don't see a downside with her staying." Ichigo growled at him.
"I would offer a place but Rangiku has gotten the spare room." Orihime says. "I'm sorry…" Oichi smiled. "It's okay really and I'm sorry Orihime. You tried to warn me about Renji and Rukia and I blew you off. I hope that you can forgive me for that." Orihime smiles. "Of course, I do. We are friends Oichi. I know it was something hard to believe and I knew that it would be a one and a million chance that you would take my words seriously. I…I was prepared to keep pushing you until you saw what I mean. I know it would have been wrong and it was going to place our friendship in danger but, I just couldn't sit around and let them hurt you anymore." Oichi smiled. "Thank you Orihime. You truly are a really good friend." Nel sighs. "Why don't you come stay with me? I'm with Ichigo. I don't trust this luster at all." Grimmjow looks at her. "Do I have to run down your issues to? You're in no better position then berry bunches over here." Nel pouted and then sighed. "Fine whatever but if I some much as get a call from Oichi about you I'm coming for you!"
Oichi ran her fingers through Grayson's hair. He had fallen back asleep on her lap. "Tomorrow…I'll have to go get my things. Renji can have his family and I'll be out of…his life…" She looks down at her empty fingers. She felt so off without looking at that ring every day. "Wearing a ring that wasn't in mine…how humiliating…"
Nel stands up. "Alright, tomorrow we are going to collect your things and I mean all of them." Oichi looks at her. "All I need is clothes." "I know but I'm going to be super petty. Everything that you brought in that house belongs to you. Renji might have the house but the items in the house are a whole different story. Do you remember when I told you to save all your receipts or at least take a picture of them?" Oichi nodded. "Good. I have a storage unit so anything we can't fit here goes in the unit until you get your own place. Ichigo your coming to so you mine as cancel all your plans for tomorrow." Ichigo crossed his arms. "I was planning on going anyways. I'm not letting her go over there by herself." Nel looked at Grimmjow. "You plan on helping or do you plan to just be lazy."
Grimmjow wasn't listening to Nel. He was watching Oichi rub her fingers through Grayson hair. Grayson had a smile on his face as he slept peacefully. 'I wonder if she can rub her fingers through my hair like that.' Grimmjow says getting lost in his thoughts. He then felt a smack on the back of the head. "The hell…!" He looked up to see Nel glaring at him. "Stop looking at Oichi like a piece of meat! Are you coming to help her get her things or not!" Nel says. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jeez…" "Then it's settled. I'll go get my workers and make sure the storage unit has room to put your things in." Oichi looks at them. "Thank you…I really mean it. Thank you, guys, so much." She says. They smile at her. "No need to thank us. We are your friends. Your there for us so we are there for you and that will never change." Ichigo says.
The following morning Nel had come back over to Grimmjow's with some clothes for Oichi. She had left Grayson with them for that day. The door was already unlocked so she walked right on in. Oichi was in the kitchen feeding Grayson some squeezed bananas. "Mmmm…" Grayson says hitting his hands on her hands. "I see you like it haha." She spoons fed him some more. Nel smiled. "Aw to cute! Where is that sack of dead weight?" "Do you have to come in spewing hate." Grimmjow says walking out. He was wearing a plain white shirt and jean jacket with tan pants and black shoes. He was running his hand through his hair. "Da! Da!" Grayson yells out. Oichi giggled and held Grayson up for Grimmjow to take him. "He's so happy to see his daddy. It's just all too cute." Grimmjow blushed just a bit as he took his son. She handed him his food. "I already took a shower. Thank you for the clothes." Oichi says. Nel nodded.
Oichi went to change in the room. Nel had brought her so black yoga pants and gray shirt hoodie with a pouch in the front. Her hair was in a puffy bun. She couldn't do much with it right now until she properly washed and took care of it. She walked out to Nel and Grimmjow arguing. "You can be all nice when Oichi is around but you switch up all quick!" She yelled. "What are you crazy!? Why do you always start something?" Grayson was looking up at them frowning. He starts tearing up. Oichi walks up to them and takes Grayson from Grimmjow. "That's enough! Stop arguing in front of him!" She yelled. They looked at her. "Jeez…can't you tell that your upsetting him?" She wipes Grayson tears. "Ma…Da…" He sniffs. Nel goes to him. "Aw…I'm so sorry sweetie. Mommy is sorry so don't cry okay?" Grimmjow sighs out as he put his hands in his pockets. Nel's phone rings she looks at it. "Okay Pesche and Don are outside with the truck. So let's get this show on the road." She says. Grimmjow had the baby bag and car seat as they headed out the apartment.
He put the car seat in the back of his car and Oichi strapped Grayson in. When that was done she got in his car. Nel was waiting for them. She had already texted her workers the address. Behind them Ichigo was pulling up waiting. They headed for the house. When they got there, they notice Momo's car in the driveway. "Did this fool really invite company over!?" Nel says frowning. Nel parked right beside Momo's car and Grimmjow and Ichigo parked on the side. Pesche was parked in the truck behind them. They got out. Nel marched right up to the door and bangs on it. It was opened by Momo. "Oh good morning Nel are you hear for the gathering to?"
She opened the door. Nel walks right on it. "Gathering my ass." She mumbles. Oichi walked up with Grayson. "Oichi…" Momo says. "I'm sorry it didn't work out with you and Renji." Oichi said nothing as she walked by her. Grimmjow walked up. "Hey, you're the security guy from the café!" Grimmjow ignored her and walked on it. Ichigo walked in. "Did Renji say that?" Momo nodded. "He said she and him had been on a break actually." Oichi stopped. "He said that they finally decided to come to agreement and go separate ways…" Ichigo grits his teeth. "Was that before or after he said that he kicked her out last night?" "Huh?" Oichi sighed. "Ichi…can we just get my things and go?" Ichigo nodded walking away from a stun Momo. They walked in the living room to see Shuhei, Kira, Rangiku, and Rukia sitting down. Rangiku wasn't looking too pleased. Living with Orihime she knew everything but, she said nothing.
Shuhei got up and walked to Oichi. "Oichi. Are you here for…" Nel stopped him. "No, we are here to get her things and leave." Shuhei looked a bit confused. "Her things?" Nel was glaring at Rukia who looked confused as well. "Yes, HER things. Since the house is no longer in HER name." Nel says. Rukia quickly head turn, avoiding eye contact. "Oichi…what in here is yours?" Oichi took out her phone. "…The TV, picture frames, candles and the photo books." Nel clapped her hands. "Alright boys! Grab the TV, take the frames and candles. Chop Chop." Rukia frowns. "Why are you taking the TV?" Nel shot her a look. "As I recalled Renji told Oichi to get her stuff and get out did he not!? So that is what we are doing. Oichi brought this TV with HER own money so she is taking it out the house since it no longer belongs to her." Kira, Momo, and Shuhei looked at Rukia with confusion expressions. "Get her stuff and leave?" Shuhei says. "Renji said that she agreed to leave. That doesn't sound like she agreed at all." Rukia looked away from them and then sighed. "Just take what you want." "Oh, I plan to Rukia. You might have taken her house, her man, and her money but, I will make damn sure she gets everything that she owns out this gosh forsaken house." Nel says.
"Wait, what do you mean money?" Rukia says. "Oh please Rukia, it's a little too late to be playing dumb. Not only did your man take the house he also took all of Oichi money! The money she earned!" Rukia frowned. "What?" She looked at Oichi. "He didn't take her money. He wouldn't do that!" Oichi bit her lip. She had to contain herself from saying anything. Those words were like poison now. Nel growled. "I don't have time to play your sad games Rukia. If you weren't pregnant then I'd pumble your ass right here for doing what you did!" Kira, Momo, and Shuhei eyes widen. "Pregnant!?" They all said. "Oopss…did I spoil everything for you?" Nel says coldly. "Nel…" Nel looked back at Oichi. "Can we just get this over with…please…" Nel sighs. "Yeah…"
The guys were in the process of taking the TV when Renji came downstairs with Byakuya. He saw them taking the TV. "What the hell are you doing!?" He yelled. He looked at Oichi who was holding Grayson. Renji walked toward Oichi but was stopped by Grimmjow. "Who the hell are you!" "Take another step and you lose your teeth." Grimmjow says glaring at Renji. On instinct Renji took a step back. Just the glare from Grimmjow made him break into a cold sweat. "She's getting her stuff and leaving this house. Just like you said." "That TV isn't hers!" Nel turned around and glared at him. "That TV was brought with Oichi's own money you asshole! You really think we are going to leave here with a hand full of clothes oh no…it's not going down like that." Byakuya walked up. "Do you have any proof that the TV was purchased by her and her alone?" Oichi looked at him. "I do." She handed him the phone. He looked at it. On it was a old receipt that had the TV name and price on it. "That's my card number on that. I remember buying the TV myself two years ago when Renji 'claimed' he was working overtime."
Byakuya handed her phone back. "Very well. You may proceed." "But brother…" Rukia says getting up. "Silence Rukia. She has shown ownership for this TV so it is hers to take." Nel nodded as she grabbed the candles and picture frames. Renji was frowning as he watched the TV get moved out the door. "You can't be serious Oichi. I mean are you that spiteful to take my words literately." Oichi frowned. "At this point Renji, your words are nothing but empty promises to me." She walked off to the guest room with Grimmjow behind her. Renji sighed and rubs his head. "Dammit…" "It is called Karama Renji. I suggest you get use to it. With the whole situation now explained to me I do not blame Oichi one bit. In fact, I will make sure that everything in her name will be out this house before tomorrow." Byakuya says. Renji's eyes widen. "Y-You can't do that!?" "If you are going to be with Rukia then you don't need to be using other people things. I expect you to have your own things to make her feel comfortable."
Throughout the house, Oichi had taken the guest room, bed, springs, blankets, and pillows. She took a dresser out the main room, all the bathroom items, all of hers and some of his clothes, Lamps, desks, rugs, washer and the dryer.
Oichi sat on the hood of Grimmjow's car as she watched the guys put the last of the items on the truck. She couldn't bear to stay in that house any longer. Byakuya was talking to Nel about make sure all Oichi's items were placed in her storage bin.
Inside Renji was finally explaining what really happened between him and Oichi. "You JERK!" They heard a smack. Oichi looked at the door to see Momo walking out. "I cannot believe you did that!" She yelled in the house. "Your so dirty! Both of you!" Rangiku walked out looking a bit happier. Kira and Shuhei walked out frowning. Shuhei walked over to Oichi as the others got in the car. "Oichi? Do you have a place to stay?" Oichi looked at him. "No, but for now Grimmjow is letting me stay with him until I can get on my feet." Shuhei frowned. "Staying with a man is kind of risky don't you think." "Maybe so but, I don't have any money so I don't have a choice. "So, it's about money." He pulled out a card.
Oichi took it and looked at it. It looked like a very fancy card. He was black with golden lining. On it, it had the letters E.E.D and a phone number.
"If you needed another job then I recommend this place. It pours out good money but I'd rather you use it as a last resort." He pats her head. "I'm sorry this happened all on you." He rubbed her cheek. "You have my number so if you need me just call me." Oichi smiled. "Thanks Shuhei." Shuhei nodded and smiled at her. His hand was then pulled away from Oichi. Grimmjow shot him a slight glare. "Back off." Shuhei frowned but left to go get in the car. Momo was still fuming as she yelled something in the car. Kira was trying to calm her down but it wasn't doing too good. She backed out the drive way and took off.
Oichi looked at Grimmjow. "You didn't have to be mean to him." "You to gullible." He pokes her cheek. "I haven't even started flirting with you and you already have another guys eye on you." Oichi pouted and pushed his hand away. "Shut up. Shuhei doesn't like me. He smiles like that at every woman." "Sure, he does."
"Okay! Everything is packed up!" Don says as he jumps down. "Thank you, guys for your help." Oichi says getting off the hood of the car. Don nods. "Of course! We do anything for Ms. Nel and help a friend in need!" Ichigo walked to the car and placed her suitcase in. "That's everything. Well until Byakuya looks over everything." Oichi nodded. Grayson was chewing on his fingers. It made Grimmjow frown. He walked past Ichigo in his car and looked in his baby bag. He pulled out a chew toy for Grayson. "Stop chewing on your fingers." He mumbled as he pulled his fingers away from his mouth. He shakes the toy in front of Grayson's face. He grabs it and quickly started chewing on it. Oichi smiled at Grimmjow. "I don't see why Nel says you don't take care of him. You're doing a really good job." Grimmjow put his hand in his pocket. "It's not like I can't take care of him. I'm just too busy." "Busy or not you should always make time for your son. It will count in the longer run in his development. Looking up to a strong and proud father." Grimmjow turned his head. The things she say to him always make his heart beat faster then normal.
Nel walked over. "Well that takes care of that. The boss man over there is going to do a mass check to make sure nothing with your name in it or on it is left. He has access to my bin so everything will be placed there." Oichi nodded. She then frowned as she saw Renji walking to them.
"Oichi! Are you trying to embarrass me or something!?" Before he could get close, Grimmjow turned around and punched him right in the face. Renji was stun as he stumbled back. "…you…" "I warned you the first time." He says. Ichigo walked up to him. "You're the last one who should be embarrassed! You kicked Oichi out in that pouring rain and expect people to show you pity! You made her feel like a fool!" Ichigo grabbed Renji. "You took the lowest rode you could take. All you had to do was open your mouth and end it but you choose to sleep around for three years." Renji frowned and pushed Ichigo away from him. "I want you all off my property now. You got what you came for so leave."
Nel rolled her eyes. "Don't worry we don't plan on staying any longer then we have to." Grimmjow helped Oichi into the car after strapping Grayson in. She sighs mentally as she glances at Renji. He was frowning at Grimmjow until their eyes met. For a spilt second an expression of guilt was seen in his eyes. Grimmjow pulled off behind Nel. Oichi watched the house disappeared out the mirror and with it her life with Renji officially ended.
Weeks past, it was now reaching the end of August. Oichi was listening to Linkin Park 'Closer' on her phone as she opened the Café. News about her, Renji, and Rukia spread like a fire. The employees knew and a few regular customers knew. For the sake of work Oichi asked everyone to just ignore the drama and focus on work. She put customers at ease putting on a mask of happiness so they would stop asking if she was really okay. The last thing she needed right now was the top brass worried that she couldn't do her job because of the drama.
Oichi hummed as she clocked in and got ready for work. Her hair was in a bun today and she was wearing her glasses. She wore slight makeup to cover her puffy face from crying every now and then. She looked at herself in the mirror as she put on her heels. "Everything you say to me…I need little room to breathe…" She sings slightly as she turns on the lights and get the kitchen ready.
Staying with Grimmjow wasn't so bad. He worked weird hours. Some time he worked for a few hours and then come home to work on paper work. Sometimes he works all day and night and doesn't come back till the morning. Oichi would usually cook dinner when he cooks breakfast. She kept the house clean so that he wouldn't have to do too much when he came back home. When Grayson came over she made sure he spent a little time with him for Nel's sake.
When they both had a day off they would go around and look at some apartments in her price range. So far, she only found two or three that were a bit of a distance from work. She also had been looking for a side job to help with her money issues. The café was good but it's not like she was making enough money from it.
Another thing that she had been noticing was how close and comfortable she and Grimmjow had gotten around each other. On the rare moments of him having an off day she didn't mind sharing the bed with him. They talked more about each other to each other. She found out that he really did want a cat so Grayson could have a little buddy when he came over and he had express his feelings of not being able to spend a lot of time with him. They talked about family, former jobs, a little about their past and so on.
Grimmjow also walked around without a shirt on constantly and Oichi couldn't help but to stare sometimes. She started having a tiny desire to rub her hands against his muscles. Especially when he came back from the gym. She also couldn't help but to take in his smells. Even when he wasn't wearing cologne he smelled good. One night he had shared one of his many stories about a girl he was seeing and even consider dating. He shared every single steamy detail with her just to watch her reaction. By the end of the conversation Oichi's face was so red that she couldn't think straight. He then caught her off guard when he asked her if she wanted to play out what happened between him and the girl in the bedroom. She slipped up and blurted out yes making him smirk and laugh at her. If she was thinking straight she might have slapped him but he patted her head and told her that he was joking but, if she ever wanted to see his bed skills up close all she had to do was ask. He then rubbed her cheek and ran his thumb over her lips.
Oichi's face went completely red as she remembered that. She had happened to look in his eyes to see a somewhat lustful face. "Gahh! No…No no no! Keep focus." Oichi yelled at herself. She clapped her hands together. "Don't think about him. Don't think about his sexy body. No, you got to focus on yourself now. Don't get distracted." She says pumping herself up.
By ten Rukia showed up. She was showing just a bit with her three-month stomach. She went to the back to get ready. She was on the phone with Renji. "Things may have ended roughly but at least you know Oichi won't let drama into the store. So, you don't have to be tense, plus, it's not good for the baby you know." "Yes, your right but, I still feel so horrible about all of this. I still can't look at her in the eyes. I know she hates me…she must hate me. I can't blame her for hating me." Rukia tears up. "I did something terrible…" Renji sighs. "Rukia. What's done is done. We can't take anything back. You know as well as I do that Oichi can't hold a grudge and eventually we will all look back at this and laugh like we use to. For now, I want you to be careful. Don't do anything to stressful okay? Take your breaks when you need to and if you feel like you can't make it through the day let me know. I'll come get you." Rukia smiles as she wipes her tears away. "Yeah. Okay. Thanks, Renji. Sorry I guess it's just these silly hormones." Renji chuckled. "Have a good day Rukia. I love you." Rukia smiled. "I love you to."
Oichi was upstairs sitting at the booth on the store laptop, making out the schedules. Today she had Rukia working until 4. Momo would come take her shift and work til 11. Oichi herself was staying until eight and then Kira would come finish the night out. Nel was also starting tonight as a bartender. Oichi was a little happy about that. Since Nel was coming in at seven with Grayson. He would be upstairs with her. She already had his high chair ready and plenty of snacks for him and toys to play with. When it was time for a nap she would keep him in her personal office. In there she had a baby camera for both her and Nel so that they can keep an eye on him. If things got to loud she had baby headphones to cover his ears and her iPad to keep him entertained. He'd then come home with her and Grimmjow until Nel got off work.
She heard someone coming upstairs. She sighs mentally as she saw Rukia walking up from the corner of her eyes. "Good morning..." Rukia says. "Good morning." Oichi says. Rukia rubbed her arm. "Oichi…I just want to say how sorry I am about all of this. I feel terrible about what happened." "Rukia I don't want to hear about this early this morning." "I just want you to know that I never meant for it to go this way." Oichi turned to her. "Oh really!? So for three years you never thought that all this would happen? Did you think by the time you told me I would be all happy and joyful that you were sleeping with my man behind my back!? Did you think I wouldn't be pissed at BOTH of you!? What did you think was going to happen?" Rukia looks down. "I…I just thought…" Oichi sighed. "Look…I'm trying to move on with my life now okay. I don't want to speak about this at work. You got Renji and a house with a child on the way. You should focus more on yourself these days like Renji is. Will you please go open the store please?" Oichi got up and took the laptop with her to the back. Rukia watches her sadly and headed back downstairs. Employees were waiting to come in. She opened the door and smiled. "Good morning everyone." The employees frowned at her and by passed her saying nothing. A few gave her some hello's but the rest stayed silent to her. This was also expected since they all were good friends and coworkers of Oichi's. So they would automatically be on Oichi's side. It was going to take a lot to get them back to a trusting mood.
The day went by smooth for the most part. Rukia stayed distant from everyone for a bit until she was needed. Oichi masked herself with happiness and went on through the day like nothing happened. When Grayson came he was the highlight of the café. He got so many cute comments and then Grimmjow walked in. People put two and two together and went off the walls. They asked to hold Grayson, feed him, take a picture and so on. Grayson was happily enjoying all the attention. Around eight he was sitting in his chair eating a cupcake in front of Grimmjow. Two girls walked by. "Bye bye!" They said together at Grayson. "HIIII!" Grayson yells waving, with a mouth full of food. The girl giggled at him before leaving. Grimmjow sighs but smiles a bit as Grayson went back to eating. "You should smile more often." Grimmjow looked up to see Oichi. She placed a cup of tea down for him and a cup of milk for Grayson. She took off her apron and walked around the booth. No one was up with them right now so she was just waiting for Kira to come in. "I'd rather frown." He says. "You have a nice smile. I'd like to see it more." "…I don't mind if it's just for you." He blushed slightly rubbing his head. "Ah Dammit…" Oichi giggles. Grimmjow looked up at her. Her eyes were a bit red and her cheeks were a little puffy. He stood up. "You shouldn't have to cry anymore." Oichi smiles softly. "I know…sometimes they just flow out. It's been almost a month and it's just still hard to…"
Grimmjow grabbed her hand and held it up. He brought it to his lips. "Grimmjow?" He saw small burn marks on her fingers. "You're getting clumsy. You need to be more careful." He kissed her fingers making her blush. "G-Grimmjow stop that." She pulled her hand away but he grabbed it back. He then pulled her close to him, wrapping his arm around her. "What are you…" "You so cute Oichi. Someone like you shouldn't cry over a loser like that. If anything, you should cry out of happiness." "Happiness?" "If that guy had his way you would have never know about his love feast and he would have kept mooching off you until he didn't need you anymore. You should be happy that you no longer have to take care of a man who can't treat you like you deserve to be treated…in fact, you should be happy to already be with a person who is starting to think about wooing you." Oichi's eyes widen. "Say what?" Grimmjow tighten his hold around her. "You heard me Oichi. I plan on doing everything for you to be mine and I won't let anything stand in my way." He leans down to her. "Grimmjow wait! You can't be serious about this!?" "I am." She put her hand on his chest to stop him from getting closer. He frowned. "Trying to stop me is pointless." "Grimmjow what you're saying…you want to woo me? Why? Why now?" "It's not now. I've wanted you since the first day I meet you. I've had this pent-up desire to make you mine. The more we talked and spent time together the more that desire grew. I want you Oichi." "Grimmjow. I…I can't…I just…" "Don't believe me? Then let me show you proof." Grimmjow moved her hand and held it steady. He leans down and presses his lips up against hers.
