Note: Heyy peoples. I'm back from my examination and Arts school work. Eheheh. Reading my story to crowd was the worst thing I have ever done. It plainly is horrifying and very scary! I'm soo sorry for the delay. But project. Experiments. Graduation. And examination. Sigh...right well i'll cut it short now and get right to point. I owe you that much.

Chapter 7: Please don't.

Atsushi Otani seemed to stop breathing. He didn't think they would ask something like this. Suddenly he began to feel anger boil through his veins. He didn't know why. But he let it explode. "Why do you want to know!?" he hissed out.

Suzuki kept that calm facade of his and answered, "Otani answer the question. Why are you cheating on Risa?" Haruka slowly placed his drink on the table and sat in a more comfortable position. Nakao casually leaned against a chair, blocking Otani from the view of the girls. The small, cool movements masked the real situation that was unfolding.

Otani's eyes narrowed as he stared at them. "Why do you want to know?" he said icily. He pushed himself back to a more comfortable position and picked up his drink. He always does this to mask the real emotion that appears in his face. Besides, it went with that whole situation. The girls would glance over and they would see them all relaxed and talking.

Haruka answered, "Otani we have known Risa almost all our lives. We have a business to know and we have the permission to intervene when necessary." With that he waited for an answer.

Otani let out a smirk, "My Haruka, I must say. You learned bigger vocabulary. However, you fail to comprehend the meaning." he leaned forward slightly, "You never had permission to butt in our life. Meaning you have no business in this case at all." Otani may have been a complete idiot in high school but the years in college matured him. He certainly learned tactics that could help him, such as this.

Haruka's calm face cracked a little and Otani can see the trace of irritation and anger. "Otani, we don't need your permission in this. It's Risa and your children's, so far we have their permission in doing so."

"Oh? How so?"

Haruka leaned forward more, "We are all their godparents and Risa has leaned to us for support all these years. We have more than just their permission."

Otani raised his chin up slightly almost sneering at him, "Oh is that so?" He leaned further in, "I'll say this again, in case you didn't get this straight Haruka. Remember that I run this house. I provide for their life. And I say yes or no to anything that happens around here. I said nothing to you."

"We don't need your permission in this Otani," Nakao finally said quietly down at him. He took a gulp of his drink before continuing, "now let's move on from this. More importantly, why are you cheating on Risa?"

"I have not!" Otani hissed. However his face betrayed him. Suzuki shook his head. He denies it, and yet it's plainly obvious. "Stop lying Otani," he muttered out once more before taking a drink.

"I am not lying," he stated looking at the ground. He felt trapped. Like a majestic lion forced into a cage, prevented from doing things he loved. It was unbearable. The feeling of confinement. The dread. The stress. The guilt. Especially the guilt. It suffocated him. Took him and wrapped around his neck till he chokes. His desperate attempts were nothing but futile and had affected nothing.

"To make matters worse," Nakao pressed on ignoring Otani's defense, "you choose a woman you sleeps with every man that she can grab within arms length." Otani stayed quiet and continued to stare at the ground.

Haruka raised an eyebrow, "You failed to mention that," he frowned deeply, "not only is it cheating but you chose a slut." Suzuki gave out a sigh. Otani's taste in women is as good as a rock's, except the rock can choose a woman way better than him.

"She is not a slut!" He defended. Haruka shook his head, "And you say that I don't understand what I'm saying. In definition a slut is a woman who is known in engaging in sexual activities with many people."

"Forgetting about sluts for a moment," Nakao interjected, "we want to know why. So Otani will you give us a good answer?"

"She isn't a slut," Otani repeated. Nakao sighed, " She tried to sleep with me when I came over to give you papers. The next time I saw her she was 'having fun' with one of your associates. And two days ago I heard Motosuwa and her 'having fun' in the bathroom. Want me to continue?"

"She slept with Motosuwa?" Otani suddenly piped up, forgetting the situation completely. "Not the point!" Haruka busted out, "It's disgusting but fuck it! WHY DID YOU CHEAT ON RISA!!"

Utter silence followed and Suzuki gave a small whisper, "Haruka...stop." They followed his gaze to the back of Nakao to see the girl they were talking about. Risa Otani stood there frozen, eyes wide, trying to push out the words she meant to say. Nothing. Just nothing.

"Risa," Otani began to get up. Risa stared at him, trying to decipher what Nakao had shouted out. "I...I...it...juice..." she stammered. Otani slowly moved closer to her. He couldn't bear that face. It showed devastation, pain, lost and looked so very...very broken. She bit her lip and looked at the ground. She didn't want to his face now.

But she had to say something right? "I was...I came to see...if you wa-wanted juice..." she muttered out. Her vision began to blur. It hurt. What she had learned hurt. The tears came cascading down her soft cheeks and Otani felt like dying right then and there. He tried his best to protect her from that kind of pain. But...in the end he caused it.

"Risa...please...please stop crying," he begged cupping her cheek. He vainly tried to wipe her tears away, begging and begging her to stop. Just please...don't cry. Don't cry. Please don't.

Risa pulled away slightly and sobbed out, "O-Otani...am i..n-not good enough?"

--LINE--BREAK--

Note: :
Cliffhanger right there too! Lol. Sorry sorry for the shortness...and especially the lateness. Ugh, sucks ass...I'm sorry. I really didn't like this chapter. I feel the emotion I tried to get out, didn't come out. Damn. I lost my mojo. Sorry.
