Chapter Six
It was like every cliché, kissing in the rain.
It was like heaven.
To both of them.
Daniel's kisses to Kuki were nothing compared to Wally's. She never even thought Wally ever kissed a girl…other than his mother, but not even his girlfriend in high school…his only girlfriend, by the matter.
Kuki, for a minute, forget everything about what Wally previously told her, what Abby lectured her about, and even forgot about Daniel. Flashes from her childhood seemed to appear…as if she kissed Wally before…when she was eleven. She couldn't remember a thing before she was thirteen, so how was it possible?
Then all the memories came flooding back to her. She pulled away from Wally and slapped him.
"What do you think you're doing!" she yelled. "Are you drunk!"
She started to storm off, but Wally grabbed her hand. "Kuki, I'm telling the truth. For everything I'm about to say. Daniel is cheating on you…and…"
"And what? And what else?" she hollered to him.
He looked away for a minute, then replied, "I love you. I loved you since high school, Kuki…since thirteen years old. Please Kuki, you can't marry Daniel. He's a liar and a complete jerk! Please just listen to me for once."
She rolled her eyes. "Wally, I just missed the party because of traffic, and not only that, I had gotten yelled at by Abby for saying I'm a workaholic, like my mother! Do you want me to feel so miserable that there's no bit of happiness in my body?" she screamed, tears coming out of her eyes…only Wally couldn't tell if it was tears or just rain.
"Kuki, I would never want to hurt you."
"Well, it's a bit too late for that now is it, Wallabee Beetles?" Then she turned her back to him and ran off.
The rain came down now like Niagara Falls. He opened Hoagie's car door and entered it.
It felt good to finally tell her after all these years. But it was sour that Kuki thought he was delusional.
It was going to be an even longer ride to his apartment.

Kuki never thought that her apartment was so close to where she and Wally encountered. It was probably only one twelfth of a mile from the area.
Or perhaps she was running so fast that she didn't notice it would be so far.
She opened the door to the apartment and ran onto the bed…not caring how soaking wet she was…and so freezing.
She started to cry…and she knew it couldn't be rain. One, she was in a room, and two, her tears were warm.
Kuki was exhausted. She closed her eyes.
Was Wally telling the truth?
About both things?
It was no longer that fact that he thought Daniel was cheating on her—he'd never do such a thing. He'd never hurt her. It was what Wally confessed. Had he really loved her for so long? And she was just so oblivious to it? Or was he in some scheme just to make her feel worse?

The phone rang.
At midnight.
Kuki groggily reached for the phone, wondering who it was.
"Hello?" she asking in an exhausted voice, almost falling asleep.
"Kuki? I'm sorry to call this late at night, but…I'm sorry for all that stuff I said to you," came Abby's voice. "Maybe it's true, but I shouldn't have said it that harsh. I'm awfully sorry."
With her eyes closed, Kuki answered, "Don't be…you're right…just…thank you anyways…" and fell back asleep.
