LOVE CAGE

Chapter 2: Blush

by: sweetautumn

Red. My whole face was red. I just stared at her thinking how you got it, why did she even get it, who is this girl, is she insane!?

My Underwear. She has holding up with her tiny fingers one side of the garter. She looked like she was examining my underwear! Okay, now I went insane, I'm marrying a woman who examines my underwear. Then she finally noticed someone staring at her. She dropped my underwear immediately to the floor. She blushed. Her face was pure red. All I could do was to stare at her.

" Gomen-nasai" she bowed. " I just saw it on the floor, so I picked it up. Now, I was the one embarrassed, how can I leave my underwear on the floor. But wait, was it right for her to pick it up. This girl is freaky, first she blinks about a million times (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating), then she examines underwear. I didn't know what to say, I was trying and searching for the right words to say to her. The situation was just wrong.

"You're a freak" I blurted out randomly. Then it came to my senses, what I have just said, I couldn't believe I said that. Her face changed into the confused-mad-annoyed face. She stared at me. Then out of the blue, I saw one tear fall on her clear young face. It was followed then by a few more drops. I didn't know what to do, I was freaking out. "uhh." "uhh.." was all I could say while I do a little extra movements looking here and there. She was crying her heart out. I felt really mean for making a girl cry. I felt awkward at the same time. I felt guilty for calling her a freak, okay maybe she is kind of freaky but I shouldn't have said it to a girl. Actually, not just a girl, a girl who holds my future. These were the times I didn't know what to do and suddenly a random idea pops in my head.

After a few minutes of freaking out, I breathed in, then out. You can do this, Kaji, I said to myself. I went closer to her inch by inch. I took each step slowly. And finally we were an inch apart. She was like a little girl who was bullied on by me, the bully. Suddenly, a crazy impulse just sent me to hug her. After that second, she was on my shoulder and she stopped crying. There was an awkward silence between us. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have called you a freak, actually I was the freak who has left his underwear on the floor. I didn't think you would have cried, I actually never made I girl cry, this is my first time and so--. She laughed, she laughed louder. " You are a freak." She said giggling. Then she pulled away from the hug. "That's my payback for you calling me a freak and a thing." She smirked.

Red. My face was bright red. How many times have I been red? I wouldn't be surprised if my face would actually be red someday. I couldn't believe it was a whole big joke. She got me so easily. And I couldn't believe I believed her. I should be smart enough to know that she would fight back just like last time.

She laughed again. Then she stopped. " Sorry, I just wanted you to feel what I felt. " " Anyways let's have a little talk." We sat on my bed. I was still dead quiet, still remembering every single moment. "My name's Ayu Tateishi, I'm fifteen years old and turning sixteen in 2 months, so we actually have 2 months to get to know each other" she said. She paused. Then continued " So…my mom and dad said that they will meet you tomorrow in my place." I was still not saying a single word. " Look at the time, I need to go, I hope you can come!" She said encourage as she looked at her watch. Before she stood up, she went closer to me, then near my cheek. I didn't look at her, I was kind of confused on what she was about to do. My heart was pounding harder and harder. Then suddenly something just made me move my head facing her. Her soft lips touched my lips. Her eyes were in shock and mine as fell. She kissed me. In the lips. I couldn't believe it. She stood up right away blushing hard. Silence came until she said, "By the way, I have never felt so warm until I fell in your arms" she said happily. She winked, and then gave out an adorable smile. When she left, I couldn't help but smile.
