CUE CHAPTER…
As the house began to rustle, people started to get up to do the daily jobs and chores. But no one woke up the young mistress since it was a Sunday and, she usually slept in on those days.
But today, however, instead of sleeping, the young mistress Retesu, snuggled into the arms of her love, as the two leant against the wall of the balcony. Him, with his arms around her shoulder and waist, protectively and her, with her head resting against his chest.
"You know she murmured" I still can't figure out how you got into my garden, or how you even knew I had a piano in my room—" she looked up at him with an eyebrow half raised "or, how you even knew that I had a garden in the first place"
A blush flushed through his face, as he tried to avoid eye contact. "Pai" she asked "what are you not telling me?"
Pai sighed, "It's kind of a long story." He shifted into a more comfortable position till his chin was resting on the top of her head. "I took and IQ test when I was eight and scored high…really high.
My father decided that I was ready to be introduced into the world of business, then while I was still young and learning" he paused "I hated it.
At times when most kids would have been playing and discovering the joy which is fun, I stayed inside and studied the stock market income and discovered the concept which we know as boredom"
He frowned "I went to my first board meeting and cocktail party when I was twelve. Everyone there wore such fake expressions; you could see the lies so clearly in their eyes it was as if you were looking into their reflections. The ones they were trying in vain to hide. It would have been funny if it weren't so pathetic.
How they all greeted me as the 'Young Master' and pretended to like me when all they were really thinking was 'what is this kid doing here' imagine a young kid being exposed to all those lies? It made me sick and I drew myself in, not knowing what a kind genuine person even was."
A small smile crossed his face "Until this time when I was thirteen. I had gotten so fed up with my dumb studies; I slipped through the window and into the garden a couple of doors down. It was an accident; I was really just running down the road when I heard an attendant call for me. He sounded close, so I just reacted and jumped up into the branches of a tree that happened to be above me."
With his free hand he scratched the back of his head. "I was going to get down after he left but then…" he looked down at her "I heard someone singing."
Retesu's breath stopped in her throat as he continued with a soft smile that threatened to melt her heart "the tree I was in, happened to be by a girl's window, she was playing the piano, and singing so sweetly I couldn't help but smile. You could see the joy and happiness in her eyes so clearly; I couldn't help but suddenly feel happy too. Her smile was so bright, like the sun, my heart skipped.
Ill never forget her eyes. It was such a wonderful change, to see such simple, happy, joyful feelings. They were so real.
That was the day my first love started. But I never confessed. Because I was told I had a fiancée. At first I was angry, and I decided I wouldn't go after her. But when she moved away it became my biggest regret. And I couldn't even do anything about it. And then one day I found some documents, saying that the engagement had been broken off. And it had been broken off three weeks after she left.
I swore I would never fall in love with anyone again. Until I met a Bridget Verdant, and she made my head spin, with her politics talk and her secrets, everything about her. I soon fell in love again. But I never in my wildest dreams did I expect both Retesu and Bridget to be my fiancée."
Retesu stared at him, shocked at his story. Of course she remembered the boy; she had spent a whole three weeks hoping to see him again. But he never showed. She not once thought he could ever be Pai. In fact, she had really just forgotten about him.
"Now" he said smirking "it's my turn" Retesu blinked "your turn for what?" she asked. "My turn to ask you a personal question"
"Hey, I didn't know it was a personal question" she protested. Pai tapped the bridge of her nose "it still counts". Retesu huffed playfully "fine go on then, ask one question, and ill give an honest, proper answer. It's only fair"
Pai nodded and suddenly he tensed a little "Who is Kaito" Retesu tensed too "w-why would you want to know a thing like that?" she stuttered.
"When I said those things, they made such a effect on you" "that's in the past now" she tried to change the subject "it doesn't matter—" "it dose matter!" he cried "don't you see, I don't know exactly what he did to you, but your letting it control your life." She winced, but Pai tightened his grip on her "tell me, or how will I know what will hurt you?"
She still shook her head "I don't want to make you angry, everything that we shared; I don't know if it's something you would want to hear. Even though I don't love him anymore…I once did"
Pai nodded "don't worry. Ill listen and I won't judge you. I understand that you loved him at the time. And you say you love me. So as long as you're telling me the truth, I won't be jealous of a ghost from your past.
She could see his logic; nevertheless it still hurt to talk about it. But Pai's arms around her were doing marvellous things to her confidence. And she felt that it was now the right time to talk about it.
"Kaito…" she started "I met Kaito when I was in England. My father didn't approve in my music. He said a girl of my status should be doing more important thing with my life. But I couldn't see why I couldn't do both. So I studied, and got best grades, did classes on marine biology, all to please my father.
But one day, one of my closest friends told me about this club with karaoke. I thought it was a good idea, so I went. And that's where I met him. He was the drummer in the band that sang on stage. I went on stage, borrowed a guitar and sang my heart out" she linked her two little fingers together
"We just clicked his music with my voice. He didn't sing much, but his drumming made up for it. So good, it was like I was feeling the beat.
Kaito and I became girlfriend and boyfriend, we were both in love, or at least I was. I loved him so much, with his laughing smile, and twinkling eyes. I thought we were made for each other.
But my father found out and he didn't approve of Kaito, he was just some student with only enough money to survive. No money, no connections, such a waste on his daughter."
Retesu looked so sad, Pai wanted to bundle her up and protect her from the hurt that they both knew was coming. But he needed to know.
"He…" she tried to continue "he paid Kaito off, and Kaito took the money just like that." She snapped her fingers "But then Kaito, he sold our story to the press, to the tabloids, the news. Who all just gulped it up. The famous tycoons daughter dumped by the nothing boy/ drummer.
I confronted him about it. And he told me that the only reason he went out with me in the first place was to make his ex-girlfriend jealous" Retesu's heart pained as she told him every last detail.
(FLASHBACK)
"Kaito!! Kaito I know you're here!!" Retesu cried as she stormed into his apartment. She opened the door to find Kaito packing up his cloths. "Kaito" she gasped "what in the world is this?" She held up a newspaper.
She had just been walking down the road when suddenly every newspaper and magazine in the corner store, spouted pictures of the two of them, along with the words DUMPED BY BOYFRIEND:KAITO TELLS ALL in big bold letters.
She had ran all the way back to the apartment, desperate to find out what was going on "explain this" Kaito glanced up for a second and then back down at the suitcase "isn't it obvious, Im dumping you, and moving out" his words were like someone beginning to push an icy knife into her heart.
"What are you saying, I don't understand" she said walking over to him and setting the newspaper down. "You did this? You gave these people our pictures?"
"Not just our pictures, our conversations, our e-mails, and a detailed account of our time together"
"But why?" she asked, tears threatening to fall. Who was this guy, and where was her Kaito. The Kaito she had fallen in love with, the Kaito that made her feel so special.
"Why?" he repeated "for the money of course. They paid me thousands, I can get a record deal with this, and I can finally afford my girlfriend"
"Girlfriend?" she repeated stunned
Kaito closed the suitcase shut "oh yeah, didn't I tell you about her, Annett, really cute, short blond hair, bright blue eyes, you know, the stereo type"
Retesu shook her head not wanting to believe what she was hearing "but what about us, I thought you loved me, and now I find out you have a girlfriend. How long was this for?"
"Since before the day I met you" he grinned "it was so easy to make you fall in love with me. At first it was just to make Annett jealous, we were having a bump in our relationship. But then I found out you were rich; it was just a matter of time. I would build up a story, and then dump you. But when your father offered to buy me out, I accepted, and I took the press money. Now, Im off to America, with Annett in total"
Retesu was frozen to the ground, her heart hurting like none other. "I don't understand…what… so everything that we had…was a lie."
"Kaito reached forward and patted her head smugly "Duhh! You didn't really think I would really ever fall in love with a plain, drab, ordinary, boring girl like you. I mean who would fall for some one that actually believes in sex after marriage, it's ridiculous. No, I prefer girls who are more exiting; you were just a temporary replacement."
"Replacement!" she cried "how could you say that, just because I have some principles? What about me, is not good enough?"
"Girls like you, are never good enough" he smirked "but don't worry, Im sure your daddy can buy you a good boyfriend, you've got the money"
"Kaiiiiito-kuuuun!!!!!!" they both turned to see a thin, skimpy girl with short blond hair tied back in two pig-tails and bright blue eyes, wearing next to nothing. "Are you done dumping her yet? We're going to miss our flight" she whined in a high pitched baby voice that most boys thought was cute but Retesu just thought was loud.
She looked over to Retesu's tear stained face "Yo" she sneered.
"Hey Baby" Kaito called as he picked up his suitcase "Just about done" he passed Retesu and circled his arm around her waist.
"Bye cup-cake, you'll see me on TV" and with that he walked out, leaving her broken hearted and frozen to the ground. She broke down and wept.
(END FLASHBACK)
Pai was completely still, he looked down at Retesu, his beautiful Retesu. With her forest green hair, peach skin, slender curves and gorgeous deep azure eyes. She was stunning, so calm, in control, sensible. He couldn't believe that someone actually did something like that to her.
"So that's why you were so angry" he tightened his grip on her and began caressing her shoulder gently.
"Ill never forget that day. How I just stood there listening to his insults. Too frozen to do anything, I let him get away with it, like the coward Im am"
Pai snorted "if there's one thing I know about you is that you're no coward. And besides, revenge wouldn't be good for you, your too innocent for something like that, it the best thing about you"
Retesu raised her eyebrow "was that suppose to be a compliment?" he smiled "yes, I like you better this way"
Retesu stood and walked over to the rail of the balcony. "He hurt me so badly, to just…to treat me like that, to use me for his girlfriend and then throw me away for money…and then flaunt it as if it were OK! I never once forgot that day. His words continue to swirl in my mind constantly.
When I met Ryoko, I was determined to not allow myself to ever feel the same way about him like I felt for Kaito. I didn't want to fall for another jerk. It wasn't hard; Ryoko doesn't even try to hide his play-boy attitude.
Pai watched her as she reached up and rubbed her slightly chilled arms. He stood as she continued.
"It's you that made it so hard for me to keep to that resolve. You were different. Not like Kaito, not like Ryoko, but different in your own way. I didn't want to love you, but you were so different, you made me feel so happy. I even sang again, in so long, I was able to sing in public again" she paused "I stopped singing in public after Kaito, music brought me to him, so it felt weird.
The reason I sought you out was because I wanted to make sure that any possible fiancée I was to have was nothing like Kaito. But you were so…" she laughed quietly to herself "…different. I felt different with you, like I said, happier, and that scared me.
I was so scared that you would suddenly turn round and reveal that everything was all a lie, that you would tell me that I wasn't good enough, that I was just some replacement for some other girl you were in love with…like Kaito did"
"Oh Retesu…" Pai encircled his arms around her waist and drew her into his chest "that's why you were so hurt, you thought that I…" Pai growled just thinking about Kaito, oh how he would just love to wring that weasel's scrawny little neck.
"Im am nothing like Kaito, even when I said those things about replacing you with the Retesu from my past, I didn't mean it. I just wanted to get those guys of my back.
I could have bought a new laptop and then hacked into my old one easily, I went on that date because I was interested in you" he place his lips close till they were hovering above her ear. "How could you think that you're not good enough, your beautiful, and just because that jerks type of girl was drug-addict bimbo, doesn't mean that you're not beautiful.
And you know I wouldn't say anything like this if I didn't think it were true" Retesu shivered under his touch, but not in a bad way.
He tipped her face up to his "I love you, he whispered, "you and no one else. Believe that"
A tear dripped down her face as she choked "please, I don't want to get hurt again, I don't want to have my heart broken for a second time"
Pai kissed her, he couldn't help it, and she had looked so fragile, so vulnerable. He felt the sudden urge…no…need to protect her from the hurt that had consumed her. Pai made a mental note to punch Kaito in the jaw if the two ever met.
But the guy did do him one favour, because he now had Retesu, which was why when he hit him, Pai was going to be careful not to completely break his jaw.
When the pulled away he smiled and gently traced his thumb over the side of her cheek. "I want to announce you as my girlfriend, in school. I want to prove to everyone that you are good enough, and to tell other guys when the see that that 'too bad fellas. She's mine now"
Despite the seriousness of the matter Retesu couldn't help but giggle a little at his humour. This was it, she was in the deep end, there was no point denying how much she had fallen in love with Pai.
"I love you" she whispered. Pai nodded, kissed her again and swung his leg over the railing of the balcony to help him clime down. "See you in school aikou"
And with that he slid down and disappeared into the garden.
