What do you think? Thoughts?
Chapter 7
As the day goes on, its just a light and relaxful one. Zero finds some books, that she has and he starts reading them, taking it easy laying on the sofa. She doesn't say anything, she lets him relax and is happy that he is there. When she goes out to get some groceries, Zero gets the pot ready for the rice and starts dicing up some veggies to get ready for dinner.
He also snoops around looking for anything to see who she really is. Not seeing anything in here to say who she is, or even what she did or any family. The house had nothing personal which still left Zero wondering. He just wasn't sure to ask her anything. This was just a job, most people who did this wanted to keep things private and personal. He just happens to get lucky that his first client was a bit normal.
He goes back into the kitchen and finishes up as she walks in the door with some chicken cutlets and a bottle of wine and even some chocolate cake for dessert.
"That didn't take you long," Zero says.
"No, the store is just around the corner, they have everything you need. It's pretty nice. " She replies.
"How long have you lived here?" Zero asks.
"Just a few months" She replies.
"Do you like living alone?" Zero asks.
"Yes, I always felt along where I was before, even though there were people around. I kind of have gotten used to it. What about you?" She answers.
"I like living alone and being alone As you said. I am used to it." Zero replies.
"No one to love?" She asks.
"Heh, No. There is no point, you only let the other one down and hurt them. Its better alone." Zero responds.
"Not always. Wasn't there ever anyone?" She says.
"Many years ago, when I was a kid. There was someone special but she never felt the same about me, she was in love with some asshole, who thought he was better than everyone else. She left with him, and I never saw her again." Zero admits.
"Oh, Sorry. Did you ever tell her how you really felt about her?" She replies.
No, that was my fault. I was too scared to tell her, I figured why bother anyway, she was in love with him, she wasn't picking me over him. It's too late now anyway. Maybe it was for the best." Zero answers.
"Maybe you should have said how you felt. Maybe she felt the same way, just wasn't sure at the time, and its never really too late. You never know."She replies.
"It is too late, she is with him and never leaving him. She thought he was everything, I don't see that changing. If she cared about me, she wouldn't have left to never be heard from again." Zero responds. Pounding the chicken like its Kaname's face.
"Sometimes people have no choice, it's not what they really want. You never know." She comments.
"Whatever, I would rather not talk about it anymore. I am not here for that anyway." Zero snaps.
She tries to pay no attention to his mood, she just knows that it hurt him a lot to talk about the past. He felt abandoned again, it's not what she wanted. She wasn't going to bring that up anymore, just try to make there time together as nice as she could. She was still thinking of a way to make him stay, she just wasn't coming up with anything at the moment.
They both sit down to dinner, Zero still in a pissy mood but trying his best not to show it fully. He knew he needed to curb it, it was just hard. He hasn't really thought about the past in a while, and to think that Yuki left him for Kaname just burned him. Not even losing his job or reputation hurt him as much, as losing her. He just hoped she was Happy with her choice. He knew it was time to move on, there was nothing he could do, he didn't even have money to pay his rent. If it wasn't for this woman who took him in, he would have nothing. What his life has come to, was something he never dreamed of. He wouldn't want Yuki to see him like this anyway.
