Day Four
Kimiko went out into the street to find Raimundo standing there waiting for her. She raced towards him and jumped into his arms. He nearly stumbled as she did. She gave him a kiss and stared into his eyes. He had never felt so happy as to see her. Four days ago she was just another person to him and now, he was madly in love with her. As she was to him.
Then he grabbed her hand and they started off.
"So, where are we going today?" she asked.
"Someplace special," he said.
As it turns out, he lead her to the park. Considering it was spring time, the park was especially beautiful today. As they walked on the paved sidewalk, she looked around her and saw flowers everywhere. Mountain Laurel bushes, Apple Blossom trees, a patch of Forget-Me-Nots, the whole nine yard. He took her to a patch of grass and leaned back on a tree. He motioned for her to join him and she did. She relaxed her head on his shoulder while he wrapped his arm around her waist. They looked out over the pond of water that laid before them. Seeing a couple of swans swimming with a flock of ducklings floating by. Nothing more was perfect than that very moment. And they knew it.
"Rai?"
"Yeah?"
"It's beautiful." He looked down at her.
"Yeah. It is." She looked up at him as his loving eyes stayed on her. She reached up and gave him a kiss.
"I love you," she whispered.
"I love you too."
That night, he walked her home and when they arrived, he gave her a long kiss. He wished he wouldn't let her go but he knew he had to. When he pulled away, he stared at her lovingly.
"See you tomorrow?" he asked.
"Wouldn't have it any other way," she replied and gave him a quick kiss and entered through the rotating doors. He already couldn't wait.
She stepped through the double doors as if she was floating on cloud nine. Her father noticed it as he watched her come in from the couch.
"Had a good time?" he asked.
"It was amazing. Raimundo is so... incredible." He raised an eyebrow.
"Sounds like it is getting serious."
"What can I say, I love him." His eyes widened.
"Already?"
"Yeah. I know it seems a little too fast, but we can't deny how we feel. And you have to admit, he is such a sweet guy." Her father let out a sigh.
"Kimiko, I have to tell you," he said as he got up and walked over to her. She got worried.
"What is it, Papa?"
"Kimiko, for the past few days, I had a guard follow you." Her face fell.
"What?"
"I was worried you might get close to this boy and I know what happened yesterday." Her eyes widened.
"Wha-W-Why?" she exasperated.
"Bare in mind, I was worried about you."
"Worried enough to keep an eye on me? How could you do this? I thought you trusted me."
"I know what this boy is like. And I know he is not for you."
"How do you know that? You don't know anything about him."
"On the contrary," he said as he walked over to a desk and picked up a file. "I sent someone to look into him a bit more, and this is what they found." He handed her the file and she opened it and her eyes widened.
"He has been in and out of juvenile hall for shoplifting. I'm sorry you had to find out this way."
She felt a pain in her chest and her eyes started to water. Just when things were too good to be true, it turns out they weren't. She dropped the file and ran into her room. She fell onto her bed and fresh tears soaked into the pillow.
Then she heard her cell phone ring. She took it out and saw Raimundo's name. She was in too much pain to bare talking to him.
The phone kept on ringing and he was getting worried. Normally, she'd answer after three rings. He knew something went wrong.
