Chapter 5
I woke up to Masamune grumbling about "stupid authors" in his sleep. I giggled as I looked over at the alarm clock. It was 7am and very cloudy on this gloomy March day. I groaned as I rolled off the bed and went into the kitchen. I poured myself a glass of water as I looked around the apartment. The thoughts of last night came back into my mind, breaking me once more as I thought of my mother. I let out a long, sad sigh as I shook my head, trying to rid of all the memories and heartache.
I should have known better. Of course my mother would have reacted like that but I never thought she would have hit me.
I placed my hand on my bruised cheek, feeling the stinging feeling and the swollen bump. I felt tears threaten to fall and set my glass on the counter. I walked into the bathroom and splashed water on my face . I looked in the mirror as the water run down my face. My cheek was bright red and puffy. My eyes were red with all the tears that had fallen last night. I had a love bite on my neck. Wait!
I tilted my head and looked closer at my neck. Masamune must had sucked on me a little while he was holding and kissing me. I chuckled as I shook my head again. Masamune…
Flashback
"I know you are hurting love but I want you to know I'm here for you no matter what. You are my everything and I will take care of you no matter if you're sick or stressed or angry or broken. I will spend the rest of my life taking care of you and always making sure there is a smile on that face. That is… if you still want me after everything tonight."
I smiled softly as I cuddled closer to Masamune. The tears were officially gone after all his sweet word and gentle love.
"Of course, I still want you baka. Why wouldn't I?" Masamune blushed light pink as he kissed my neck.
"I know today must have taken a lot of you. Not to mention, you might have just lost your mother, the company, and the money…" I kissed his lisp softly to stop his worries and pulled away looking straight into his eyes.
"I LOVE you, Masamune. No matter what happened today; no matter what I have lost, I will still choose you over and over again." Masamune smiled like a little boy on Christmas and pulled me closer. I smiled happily as he rubbed my back and talked about how he saw of future together until I fell soundly asleep.
Back to the present
I smiled happily as I walked into the room and stared at my Masamune. He looks so peaceful in his sleep.
I chuckled as he reached over and patted my side of the bed. I walked up to him and kissed his cheek as he faced started to fill with worry. He smiled shyly as he wrapped the blanket closer around him. I walked back into the kitchen, deciding to make breakfast for my future hubby. I opened the refrigerator and looked at everything we had. I decided to make omelets for us. I pulled out everything Masamune and I liked in them while trying to remember how I was taught to flip the egg over.
Time Skip~
"Good morning love." I jumped as I heard Masamune coming into the room. I put our plates on the table and smiled at him.
"Good morning babe~ I made us breakfast." Masamune chuckled as I held my hands out to the table. He sat down and took a sip of his fresh coffee. He hummed in appreciation as he sat it down and dug into his omelet. I giggled as I walked back into the kitchen and poured myself a glass of orange juice. I went back to the table and started to eat.
"So, what are we going to do today?" I asked as Masamune whipped his mouth.
"I thought Kisa and Yokozawa was coming over to help us finish planning the wedding?"
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that. What time are they coming?" I looked at the clock and saw that it was 8:24.
"They said they would be here at 12pm. What all do we still need to plan?"
"Ummm… the colors, inventions, flowers, band, food, decorations, and when to get fitted for our tuxes." Masamune nodded as slow smirk made it's way onto his face. I narrowed my eyes at him as he leaned closer to me.
"I still wish you would wear a dress." I turned bright red as I started to get flustered. He chuckled as he ruffled my hair and kissed my check. "I'm just kidding baby. Don't blow a fuse." I crossed my arms as I looked at the wall.
Asshole…
"Hey… are you okay?" I looked at him with confusion as I lowered my arms and tilted my head. "After everything yesterday… are you okay?" Masamune reached out and placed his hand gently on my bruised cheek. I smiled softly as I nodded my head.
"I'm okay babe. I'm happy I finally stood up to my mother and I'm happy that I finally confessed to who I really am. I'm also happy you were there with me. Thank you Takano Masamune." He kissed my bruised cheek and laid his forehead on mind.
"Your welcome Takano Ritsu and thank you for not leaving me." I giggled as I gave him a quick peck. Just as he got that evil look in his eyes and leaned in for more, his phone started to ring. He groaned loudly as he cursed whoever was calling and walked to the bedroom. I laughed as I picked up our plates and glasses set them in the sink. I started to wash them and pick up my mess. When I was done, Masamune came out of the room. I turned to look at him while grabbing the dish rag and noticed that he was paler then normal.
"Masamune? Are you okay? Who was that?" I asked as I dried off my hands and walked up to him. He looked at me as he run his hand through my hair.
"Your father just called me. He wants to meet me for drinks at 6 tonight." I felt my mouth drop open as I stared at him. I felt all the blood leave my face, turning me into a pale ghost.
"…what do you think he is gonna say?"
"I honestly don't know but I don't think he will act like your mother." I shook my head and grabbed his hands.
"No. You can't go by yourself. I will go with you." Masamune sighed as he shook his head slowly.
"No Ritsu. I have to do this on my own for you, for us."
"Masamune, I won't let you do this by yourself!" I stood my ground as he just half smiled.
"I'll be okay love. I can handle my own pretty well." I huffed as I crossed my arms and started to walk away from him; however, he only pulled on my arm softly. I stopped as I turn around a faced him. "Tell me about your father Ritsu. Please." He gave me the biggest puppy dog eyes and pouty lips that only made me melt as I looked the other way. I started to remember everything I knew about my father, which wasn't a lot. I grabbed his hand and dragged him to the couch. We sat down as I held onto his hands and looked at him.
"What do you wanna know?"
"Everything." I pushed my hair back.
"I honestly don't know that much. He was never around when I was growing up."
"Just tell me what you do know."
"He is a kind man, always helping people when they need it. He loves his company. He loves his family, the sea and of course, books." I looked at feet as I continued. "He was never really around when I was growing up, it was mostly the staff that took care of me. My mother was too busy fulfilling the role as the CEO's wife and my father was busy with the company. I was left alone most of the time which is why I found comfort in books. They took me places that I loved instead of the lonely life I really was living. The only memory I have of all of us together and truly happy was when we took his boat out when I was six. He took us out when the sun was setting. It was one of the best days of my life" I smiled as I thought of my father showing me how to work the boat as my mother laughed happily watching her two men. I looked at Masamune as my family laugher rang in my ears. "My father was always the rock that kept our family together. He was a man I wanted to turn into." I felt two arms wrap around me as tears threatened to fall once more. I cuddled into Masamune arms as I tried to force myself not to cry.
My mother doesn't deserve someone like me anyways. Fuck her… all I need is My mother, my friends, my job and hopefully… my father.
"I think I just realized that we have more in common then either of us thought. Both our childhood were very lonely and we filled our minds and hearts with worlds we found in books to escape. We also only have one memory of a time our family was all together and happy. Only yours was on a boat when you were six and my was at a park when I was three." I looked up at him and smiled as I thought about all the things we had in common. I giggled as I wrapped my arms around him.
"I love that we have many things in common babe." I gave him a loving kiss and pulled away. "Are you sure you will be okay with my father he nodded as he picked me up.
"I'll be fine, now let's go take a shower, clean up this apartment and finish planning our wedding before I go meet Mr. Onodera." I nodded as he carried me into the bathroom and stared to remove my clothes.
Time Skip~
We finished cleaning the apartment just as soon as the door bell rang. Masamune smirked as he smacked my ass and winked. Ever since the shower he has been groping me.
Well… it has been a couple days since we had sex. I kind of miss the way he touches me and the way he licks me and the way he strokes my d…
"Ri-chan!" I was pulled into a hug as my face started to heat up from all the thoughts I was having. Kisa-san pulled away and smiled.
"Hey Kisa-san. Thanks for coming today." He rolled his eyes and he crossed his arms and stuck out his hip.
"Of course, I would come. I am your best man and as the best man, I have to be here to help you. Plus, I also have to make sure you two don't make the wrong choices!" I laughed as I looked up to see Masamune and Yokozawa looking at us with their eyebrows raised.
"You know… if I didn't know you two, I would probably think you two were fucking." Yokozawa laughed as Kisa smirked and I blushed bright red once more as I looked at Masamune for help. He gave Yokozawa death glare and punched his arm. Yokozawa only laughed and I rolled my eyes at them.
"If I'm going to be honest, I thought Ri-chan was cute as hell and I wanted to make a move on him. I was even ready to be a seme but then Takano-san started chasing him so I gave up." I stared at Kisa-san with shock as he just shrugged.
"OI! WHAT THE HELL KISA! I WILL FUCK YOU UP!" Yokozawa and I shook our heads at them as Kisa laughed nervously with Masamune standing over him.
"Guys! Knock it off! Are we going to finishing plan this wedding or not!" The bear roared as Kisa-san and I jumped. Masamune only rolled his eyes at his friend and went the drawer. He pulled out all of samples and catalogs. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a lemonade for me and Kisa-san and beer for Masamune and Yokozawa. I set them on the table and we all sat down.
"Okay, so what should we start with?" I looked Masamune as he pulled out the color felt samples.
"We should do the colors first so we can figure out the rest." We all nodded as I thought about what color I wanted. "I know for sure there has to be green."
"Why green?" Yokozawa said as he took a sip of his beer.
"Yeah I agree with the bear. Green is a weird wedding color." I nodded my head, agreeing with Kisa-san.
"I want green in our wedding because green is the color of Ritsu's eyes and that's one of the first things that made me fall in love with him." I smiled as I reached over and held his hand.
"Really?" He nodded cutely as I giggled and kissed his cheek.
"Aww so cute!~" We looked over at Kisa-san to see him fan-girling over us and Yokozawa rolling his eyes.
"What's wrong with you sometimes?" Kisa-san narrowed his eyes as he laid his head on his hand.
"So, Yokozawa, how is your little family? I know I heard great stuff about how well you treat your daughter and how much she loves her daddies." Yokozawa eye twitched as I chuckled behind my other hand.
"Okay! So green, what other color?" Yokozawa said as he crossed his arms and sunk in his chair.
"What about red?" I said as I put the red next to the green felt.
"That doesn't look bad. I think you should add the white felt in there too." I nodded my head as Kisa-san put the white one next to them.
"Looks good but I feel like we are missing something." Kisa said as he pushed his eyebrows together. I sat back as I looked at them. Takano went through all of them, trying to see what matched best until Yokozawa pulled one from him and put it all together.
"There, that's perfect." Yokozawa smirked as he crossed his arms and sat back. I smiled as I laid my head on Masamune shoulder. He wrapped his arm around me as we looked at all the colors.
"You like it, love?" I nodded my head happily. The color were perfect together. They were black, green, white and red and to me looked like a perfect summary of our love.
"I like it too." He kissed my forehead and pulled of the decoration catalog.
"Okay, how much do we have for the wedding again?" Kisa-san asked as he looked at us.
"5,448,644.87 Yen." Masamune answered as started to look through the catalog.
"And how much have we spend so far?" Yokozawa said as he took another drink.
"About 1,089,813.15 Yen." They nodded their heads as they looked at us.
"So, we have the colors but is there any kind of theme you want?" Kisa-san asked as Masamune and I looked at each other.
"I was thinking to some sort of spring themed. I mean it is in the spring and we don't really need to go all out." I answered as Masamune agreed. We all started looking in that catalog and decided on white metal tables and chairs with a red and black flowers center piece. We would have a green arch with red and white flowers and a black lace carpet leading to the party. There would be lights all hanging on white fences and there would he small stage for the band and dance floor.
After we finished with the decorations, we looked at inventions and Yokozawa and Masamune got into a little argument about which one to choose but in the end Kisa-san and I found the perfect ones. They were shaped into a book and when you opened it there would be a picture of us and then on the other side it would have all the information and it came with a heart chained bookmark.
We then decided on the food which was going to be a mixer of Japanese and American choices because Masamune and I loved both and couldn't decide. We also decided on the flowers which were going to be roses, tulips and hydrangeas.
"Guys, I need food!" I whined as I laid my head on the table. Masamune chuckled as he ruffled my hair and picked up his phone. He ordered two pizzas and pulled out the last catalog.
"Okay, let decide on this last one so we can eat and be done." We all nodded our heads in agreement as we looked it over. We had to decide on a band and we hand a CD that had a track from each one we could choose from. We listened to the CD as we read more about them and couldn't think of anyone that really matched us. We ended up deciding to just play Masamune's iPod and have a Karaoke machine for later.
The food arrived as we were stretching from sitting so long. It was now 5pm and Masamune would have to leave in an hour. I felt the worry about tonight start to fill my body once more as I took out some plates.
"Onodera, why you sulking?" I jumped as I heard Yokozawa behind me.
"Oh, nothing." I laughed nervously and rubbed my hand on my neck.
"Its something… do you want to talk about it?" I sighed as I looked around the room. Masamune was in the bathroom and Kisa-san was talking on the phone with Yukina. I looked down and decided to tell him.
"Last night, Masamune and I went to my parents' house and told them everything about us. My mother and I ended up having a big fight for the first time and she slapped me across the face. It really hurt me because she is my mom and I never thought she would honestly react that bad. My father was more understanding but today he called Masamune and asked him to meet him tonight. So, I'm super worried and he won't let me come with him." Yokozawa nodded his head and placed his hand on my shoulder.
"I understand why Masamune didn't want us to mention your face now. It's going to be okay Onodera. I'm sure your father won't cause any harm if he was understanding last night. He probably just wants to make sure Masamune is right for you. I know I would and trust me, he can take care of himself." I nodded my head as I took a deep breath.
"I know you are probably right. I just can't help but worry. If anything happened to Masamune because of me… I would lose all my self-control."
"I understand. I'm sure anyone would feel the same if they were put into this type of situation but I know everything will be okay. Just don't worry too much and trust him and your father alright?" I smiled halfway and nodded my head. Masamune came out and Kisa-san hung up the phone as Yokozawa and I sat down. We all dug into the pizza as we laughed and joked with each other.
"Hey guys! We still need to decide on when to get our tuxes!" I jumped up as I realized we forgot to plan that. Yokozawa put his drink down as he looked at Masamune.
"Well, you guys cant see what the other wears until the wedding day so Masamune's side with go with him and Ritsu's side with go with him." We all agreed and decided to do it the Saturday after my birthday.
After we were finished eating, we wished them a safe drive and that we would see them tomorrow. I closed the door as Masamune looked at the clock.
"I gotta get going baby. It's already 5:47." I pouted as I pulled him into a hug and decided to ask one more time.
"Please let me go with you. Please, I'll be good." Masamune chuckled as he kissed my forehead.
"It will be okay Ritsu. I promise. Do you trust me?" I shot my head up as I gave him a grumpy face.
"Well no shit, Sherlock." He smacked my ass again as I yelped and hit his chest. "Stop doing that!" He laughed as he pulled me into a loving kiss.
"I'll be home soon okay? I will calling if anything happens, I promise. Koishiteru baby." I sighed and I hugged him tightly before letting go and stepping back.
"Koishiteru babe. Please come back soon. I'll miss you." I watched and Masamune put on his shoes and jacket.
"I'll miss you too. I'll be back as soon as I can." He blew me a kiss and closed the door. I looked around the living room, not knowing what to do with myself.
Masamune… I need you.
Aww poor Ritsu! My little baby is having a hard time coping right now. No need to worry through! Everything will look up soon… or will it? DUN DUN DUN! LOL Anyways, I hoped you guys liked this chapter! I always love writing these stories. They get me through on my bad days and so do you! Thank you for sticking with me through all my shit.
