LAST TIME ON "I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR SMILE…
"But also a while back, another approached me and asked me for her hand. Ryoko Taihen" people glanced at another man. He was surprisingly hansom with short midnight blue hair casually falling into his chocolate brown eyes. He smiled charmingly at the crowed causing some girls to giggle.
"Tonight, Mr Kinimoto will meet my Daughter for the first time" he turned to the doors "will you please give a warm welcome to my daughter Retesu Midorikawa"
Pai's heart stopped. 'it cant be' he looked up at the doors and was stunned at what he saw…
The girl coming out from the doors was stunning. No glasses. Her long forest green hair was straightened and out with a few strands pinned back with a traditional Japanese butterfly hair pin.
She was wearing a beautiful Kimono; the design was gorgeous, like the ocean. All the different shades of blue and green, combining together. to create a master piece and advance the girls beauty.
She wasn't wearing too much make up, nor was she wearing too little. Just the right amount to accentuate her lush red lips and deep blue eyes.
She approached the balcony with refinement and grace, like she wasn't even really touching the ground.
But what shocked Pai was that this elegant, graceful, refined, beautiful, woman before him, was Bridget.
Anyone from school wouldn't be able to tell, she looked so…different. But Pai knew he would never forget her eyes. It was Bridget! But wait…he said Retesu. So who was Bridget and why? Pai's head was spinning.
"Hello" the girl who looked like Bridget said in a loud clear voice "Welcome, my name is Retesu Midorikawa, I am very pleased to meet all of you" she smiled, and her smile was like the sun. Pai felt his heat go warm.
"I hope you all have a wonderful time tonight and I look forward to getting to know Kinimoto-san"
She bowed her head in the traditional Japanese bow "What a lady" Pai turned to see two older women looking up at her with their poor sons standing by looking so, so board. "She's the perfect example of a proper young lady. And so well mannered" the other one said. She poked one of the men don't just stand there, introduce yourself.
Pai stopped listening and looked back to Bridget who was descending down the stairs in her elegant manner. He half expected her to trip and fall over like classic Bridget. But she made it to the bottom with a poised step.
Who was she? Why… Pai saw a man approach Bridget's side he took her hand and kissed her hand. Bridget blushed, though she tried to hide it. But Pai saw, typical Bridget. He knew it was her now; no one else blushed quite like Bridget.
Pai watched as the man, was Ryoko his name? Put his arm around Bridget. A surge of jealousy coursed through his being, as well as anger and confusion. She had lied to him, about what he didn't know, but he was about to find out.
He marched over and stood behind Bridget. She noticed him immediately and whirled round. A look of panic fitted across her eyes, but it disappeared just as quickly as it came and was replaced with a calm that was so unlike Bridget. She was in control.
Bridget bowed before Pai "Kinimoto-san, Konnichiwa" she hated these fancy dinner party's, but she loved Pai's expression when he saw who she really was. And she knew that he would demand answers soon.
But until then, she would vent out some of her hurt by making him as irritated as possible and see how long he would hold it in.
He bowed "It's a pleasure Midorikawa-san…" "Please" she smiled "Midorikawa is so long, call me Retesu-san" he was pretending to not know her; well two could play at that game.
"The pleasure is all mine, I've heard so much about you" "and I would like you to know more about me" he said "would you like to…" she cut him off..
"Oh have you met my Friend Ryoko" she grabbed the midnight blue haired boy's sleeve. Pai stiffened, but none the less put out his hand to shake Ryoko's. "So I see you're my competition" he said. Pai nodded
"Well Im afraid Im not giving her up so easily without a fight. Im very taken with Retesu-san" he said with a cheeky grin at Bridget who in turn, blushed, a fake light blush.
Pai was irritated and although it didn't show on his face it instead showed in his eyes. "Miss…Retesu-san, would you care to take a walk with me in your mothers beautiful garden?" he said with a bow as he took her hand a winked. All traced of annoyance gone and replaced with his usual spark. Bridget fought back on of her real blushes. How did Pai always bring those out of her?
She decided to accept as she gave him her hand which he took and began to lead her out onto the terrace. It was time for the truth and the truth hurt.
Pai didn't know weather to strangle her, or be completely shocked by her. Bridget had toyed with him, trying to keep them in the room for as long as possible. She wasn't avoiding him or running away, she had been only trying to irritate him. But now they were out and he wanted to know what in the world was going on.
Who was she if not the Bridget Verdant he had fallen in love with?
He followed her deep into the garden and eventually when they were deep enough, Bridget came to an abrupt halt. "Bridget! He said sternly "what is going on, and why did those people in there introduce you as Retesu Midorikawa?"
Bridget turned; her face was emotionless "Isn't it obvious Pai-san, they call me that because my name is Retesu Midorikawa" Pai stared "Bridget what are you talking about?"
"Bridget Verdant—" she said raising her voice slightly "—is a girl from America with overbite and a broken leg, she is currently being home-schooled in the United States. I simply took her spot and her name and entered into the school"
Pai stared at her, trying to find some trace to show him that she was joking, she wasn't "But why my school, there are better schools in Japan, Im only in a public school because I wanted to be. Why would you go through so much trouble?"
Bridget raised her long, draping kimono sleeve to her face and covered her mouth and nose, giving her a mysterious appearance.
"Because two years ago, Ryoko proposed to me. And to put in the nicest way possible, he's vain, rude, conniving, boring, possessive arrogant ignorant and the idea of marrying him makes me shudder" she removed her sleeve and looked up at the flowers growing on a near by cherry-blossom tree
"But I then found out about my other fiancé, and it was then I decided I would find out more about him. If he was at least a little bit better then Ryoko, I would choose him, if not then I would accept Ryoko.
I expected my other fiancé to be just as vain and arrogant due to his rich upbringing."
Her expression turned sad but with the smallest hint of a smile "but instead he turned out to be kind, strong." She clutched the fabric by her heart "he made me smile and laugh. He protected me, and I thought he accepted me for all of me" a small tear squeezed its way out of her eye as she suddenly glared at him "but that was all his illusion to deceive me and humiliate me—" Pai tried to interrupt but Retesu didn't let him "—he turned out to be worse then Ryoko, because at least Ryoko doesn't hide what he is. At least Ryoko didn't lie"
Pai was speechless, suddenly everything made sense, he wanted to yell, to say something, to take Retesu in his arms and explain everything to her, to make her believe him about how much he loved her. But when he opened his mouth, no sound would come out.
"And you want to know the most ironic thing about it all" she swivelled round and once her face was turned away from him, she allowed a few tears to roll down her cheeks. "It wasn't supposed to happen, you weren't supposed to make me feel this way and I wasn't…" she paused "supposed to end up falling in love with you"
Pai's heart just stopped, she loved him! She loved him back!, she felt the same way! This was great.
She wiped away the tears and glared at him again "but it was all a lie wasn't it"
"NO! RETESU I WASENT…"
"NO PAI, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANY MORE" she screamed
"I trusted you Pai and I foolishly wanted to believe you" she shook her head "Im going to accept Ryoko's proposal" "what" Pai cried "you cant do that" he jumped forward and grabbed her arm "you said it yourself, the thought of marrying him makes you shudder" she looked down at his arm for a second before murmuring "let me go Pai-san"
Pai growled "No, not until we talk"
She shook her arms out of his grip "Im done listening to you and at least when Ryoko decides to jilt some one, he doesn't hide it. He doesn't lie about things like this."
And with that she walked away. Leaving Pai behind.
