Hey guys, just a quick question. I received a review the other day about how Zoro and Nami are no longer the main characters. I wanted to know if you guys like it this way or if you'd want me to add in Zoro's POVs. Luliyah xx
I went straight home once I was sure he gone. I had turned my back on him after he had said that. I didn't want to see away from me.
I decided I would go to Robin, Franky's and now Luffy's house for dinner. It was better to just tell him the truth anyway. I changed into a thigh-high yellow dress and a denim jacket with some white ballet pumps. Quickly I wrote a note addressed to dad and went into the living room to leave it there.
"Sunshine?" Dad said as I entered to room. "You look nice."
I twirled in my dress. "I'm going over to Luffy's. He invited me to dinner."
"Want me to drive you?" he asked standing up.
"Yes," I smiled.
Dad let me out in their driveway, asked me to say hello on his behalf and drove away. I walked up to the front of the house, my hands in my jacket pocket.
The gravel crunched beneath my feet and the afternoon air nipped at my legs. I was scared. Scared that Luffy would open the door and shut it in my face. Scared that he'd reject me. I knew it was selfish of me to ask him to wait. Even though I knew I might not ever feel the same way about him as he felt about me. I was thankful when Robin opened the door, a smile plastered on her face.
"Ry!" she cooed. "Come in," she said stepping away from the door.
I walked over the threshold and took my shoes off on the mat, shutting the door behind me.
"He's in his room. It's the one you used to stay in," she said walking into the kitchen.
"Hi Franky," I called into the living room.
Franky turned and waved. "Nice dress," he mouthed. I curtsied, smiling, before running up the stairs. I stopped outside his room and knocked on the door.
"Come in," he groaned.
I opened the door slowly peering round the side of it. Luffy sat up quickly and shifted on the bed, unsettled by my presence.
"What are you doing here?" he asked his eyes not meeting mine.
"Yesterday you invited me to dinner," I answered.
We were blanketed by a silence for some time before Luffy spoke.
"I'm sorry for the way I acted. I shouldn't have gotten into your business."
"No," I choked, shaking my head as tears began to fall from my eyes.
"I should have been the one to tell you. But I was scared you'd never look at me the same way again."
Arms wrapped around me and I was pulled into Luffy's chest. My hands clenched around the fabric of his shirt as I continued to cry.
His back was against the head board as I rested my head on his shoulders.
"What happened?" he asked resting his head mine.
I sighed, "A year ago I tried to get in contact with Nami."
"Your mother," he whispered.
"I had been writing letters to her for some time. She never replied but I was always hopeful."
I sighed again. Telling him all of this. It was harder than I had ever imagined.
"I found her number in my dad's office while looking for something. So I called," tears began to fall from my eyes once again.
"She denied ever having a child. She denied that I was her daughter and that fact that she had once loved my dad."
Luffy kissed my forehead.
"I wouldn't have minded if she said that things couldn't go back to the way there were. I knew they could never be. She had found a new family, even gotten married. I just wanted her to accept me. I wanted to know if I was anything like her. I wanted to know if she regretted leaving us. I wanted to know if she loved me."
Luffy then turned my head and kissed me...
And I kissed him back.
