Chapter 33
--
The maid from my first visit led me down a path. I looked around. The grounds were beautiful, varying explosions of color dotted across a green lawn.
It's a shame it isn't a more beautiful day, it looks like rain.
"So what did you say your name was?" the maid asked. I looked at the back of her head.
"Morinozuka Takashi." I replied. She stopped abruptly, almost causing me to bump into her, and turned sharply. She fixed me in her fierce gaze. I was taken aback, women were almost never hostile with me. She shifted all her weight to one side and put her hand on her hip.
Uh, oh...
My manly instincts were screaming RUN! but my gentlemanly upbringing was telling me stay.
"So you intend to pursue Hitomi?" she said. I felt myself grow a bit flustered.
"What-?" she cut me off.
"Don't give me that. I know that you want to woo her into your bed with your teenage, lust-filled words." She said, her tone harsh. I sort of just stood there gaping and blushing. She rolled her eyes and continued.
"So, I have to know if you have anything you need to tell me about. Like any diseases or anything." She asked. My face grew hot. I couldn't believe a maid was asking me if I had any STDs. All I could really do was shake my head.
"Good." She said. As she started to turn a magnificent crash of thunder sounded and two dogs sped their way past us. A moment later, when water started pouring out of the sky, it became apparent why.
What scaredy dogs...
The maid looked at me with a look that communicated pure hatred.
"Come on, she'll probably be in shortly." She had to yell over the noise from the rain. I shook my head. She rolled her eyes and ran back in the direction of the house. I started jogging down the path, not exactly sure where I was going. I wiped my face as I ran, the rain was getting in my eyes. After a while I saw a figure standing in the rain and I stopped.
It was Hitomi, looking more gorgeous than I'd ever seen her, (of course that isn't saying much), arms at her sides, face tilted towards the sky, eyes closed and soaked through to the bone.
She cut her hair...
That thought flitted through my brain quickly before I decided I didn't really care. She was still beautiful.
She turned to me and opened her eyes.

Sorry this is so short. I introduce two new characters next chapter though. And Here In North Texas they're in Hitomi's family ;)
