… 3 years later ...

"I… don't like bread" Law said with a disgusting look planted on his face.

"Shut up and eat. It's not like you can demand something fancy from a poor girl like me" she pulled Law by the shoulder and forced him to sit.

Unable to fight back, he let himself sat on the chair. Nami then took her seat in front of him.

Law sipped his coffee. He didn't even touch the bread. He then turned his eyes to scan her face. His eyes lingered from her brows, to her eyes, her nose, her lips, her slightly blushing cheeks, her hair. Everything he could carve on his mind. Beautiful. Seeing her glowing face made him remember the night they shared last night.

A "ding" sound from the microwave made Nami turned her head to the side, he noticed the small but visible red mark on her neck. He smiled to himself as feeling pride at the mark he left on her.

Nami got up to take the food from the microwave and put it on the table. Law took the food and began eating his breakfast. They spent the rest of the morning conversing with each other.

At the airport…

"Kidd will pick me up later" She told Law as she took her printed boarding pass from the kiosk. Turning to Law, she stared at him. Suddenly, she felt so sad.

Unable to contain her feeling, she hugged him tightly. "Tora! I'm so gonna miss you" Law returned her hug and planted a kiss on her forehead, quite long.

"Three months aren't that long. After all, you can always call me if you miss me" Law smiled to her and patted her head. She looked up at him and staring at his eyes.

Law studied her face. He thought that, he had been looking at her face quite frequently this lately. He was going to miss her too but he wouldn't say it out loud, not to give the girl the satisfaction of that knowledge. Law placed his hands behind her head, pulling and butting their forehead together. Their noses brushed. Law closed his eyes. They stayed like that for a moment in silent.

An announcement made them startled from their little intimate moment. Nami was unable to utter any word. She felt something heavy inside her heart. Her arms still held him tightly. She felt like, she didn't want to leave but she had to do. Ahh… how am I going to live my day. Nami let out a heavy sigh not realizing that Law had watched her.

"Call me once you arrived" Law reminded her. Nami just nodded. Before leaving, Law pulled her into a hug. "Take care of yourself Nami-ya". Law smiled and gave her a quick kiss on her nose. Nami felt she didn't want to let him go but as much as she didn't want to, she had to. And the time was really jealous of them.

"You too Tora!" Nami made her move to the gate. Law stood and waved his hand. The other hand was in his pocket. He then turned his back to leave when he no longer saw her.

After several hours…

He picked his phone as he heard the phone rang.

"Hello?" A smile formed on his lips upon hearing Nami's voice.

"Toraaaa! Are you busy?" Nami asked.

"No… How was your trip?" He asked after a while. Just hearing her voice made him happy.

"Hmmm… nothing grand but… It's nice to be home" He could hear her not so lively voice.

"Ne, Tora… I am worn out. Wanna get some sleep" Nami told Law.

Nami knew that Law was actually lying. She knew, at this time of hour, Law would be busy with his patients. Not wanting him to neglect his patient, she made some excuse too but she felt glad that this guy spared some time just for her.

"Yes… I bet you are. Go get enough rest Nami-ya. I'll call you tonight"

"Okay… Miss you Tora!" Nami told him.

Law smiled widely "I miss you too" Law could hear Nami chuckled.

"Love you"

"Love you too" With that their conversation ended.

"Nami, are you coming tonight?" Nojiko asked her. Nami put her phone on the table as she saw Nojiko coming.

Nami turned to her sister "Well, of course. Kidd will fetch me" she formed a smile on her lips.

Nami then slumped her body on her bed. Resting for a while.

"Are you coming too, Nojiko?" Nami asked her.

Nojiko shook her head "why should I? After all, I'm not that familiar with that friends of yours, they are just too… especially Kidd" Nojiko confessed.

"Hey, he is actually a nice guy" Nami replied.

"That gangster? Hmmph! I rather think he is not" Nojiko then left the room with a little laugh.

An engine sound made Nami jumped from her bed. Quickly she ran towards the door.

"Nojiko… I'm leaving" Nami shouted.

"Be sure to close the door" Nojiko shouted back.

As Nami and Kidd arrived, Nami spotted Killer waving at them. Nami walked towards Killer and gave him a friendly hug.

"Nami… it's good to see you again" Killer said patting her back.

"Yeah! It's been a long time Killer, you didn't change at all" Nami smiled at her.

The others were cheering as they saw Nami just came back.

Kidd who was just sitting made an uncomfortable face. Upon seeing her friends made such face, Nami walked towards him and sat beside him.

"Hey… you don't look so happy" Nami pulled both of his cheek to force him smile.

"Ouch! That hurts bitch" Kidd slapped her hands away and caressed his check softly. "Why are you here anyway"

"What? I can't be here?" Nami raised her brows. "You grumpy old man" rolling her eyes.

Kidd turned to glare at her, Nami then returned the glare. Both of them glaring at each other. They seemed like having a staring competition that suddenly the people around them cheering made them turned to the crowded.

"Hey, Nami, don't lose"

"Yeah, beat him Nami"

"Nami, kick his ass"

Kidd then turned his deadly glare to the crowded. All of them fell silence and dismissed turning to their own sits and partying themselves.

"Well, it looks like, I am the winner" Nami declared herself.

"Shut up! No one declared that yet and I never intended on playing this stupid game either" Kidd then stood and walked to the counter to grab some drinks.

Nami stared at his back and smiled to herself. Not that she felt hurt at how Kidd treated her. He was always like that. But she knew, deep inside, Kidd was so happy to see her. He just didn't know how to show it "appropriately".

Sitting on his couch, Law dialled her number again. No answer. Law sighed and leaned on his couch. Why isn't she answering?

A motorcycle came to a stop in front of Nami's house. Nami slid off the bike, removed her helmet and passed it to Kidd. Kidd shut down his bike for a while as to not interrupt the neighborhood.

"Thanks Kidd for the little party" Nami smiled at him. When he saw some of Nami's hairs stranded, out of instinct he brushed the hair.

"When are you start working?" Instead of returning her gratitude, he changed the subject.

"Maybe… next week" Nami answered him. Kidd nodded.

"Then, are you moving?" Kidd stared down at her.

"Not sure yet. I need to find an apartment to stay, so I don't think…"

"Are you leaving Najikon again?" Kidd asked her.

"I don't think… ah! It's Nojiko… Damn you! How long have you been living that you don't remember her name?" Nami punched him in the head.

"Who cares about the name? Kidd smirked touching the spot Nami punched just now.

Nami sighed. He really never changed that it started to annoy her.

"Go back! Go back! Just be careful" She made the gesture as to shoo him off.

Kidd then started his engine ready to go.

"Thanks again, Kidd and good night"

"Hmmph" was the only answer Kidd gave before he left.

Nami stared at him until he was out of sight and she got into her house.

Once she reached her bedroom, she checked her phone. She gasped upon seeing miscalls from Law.

She stuck her tongue out and made a worried face. Damn. I forgot. Then, she dialled the number.

She waited for the receiver to pick up.

"Hello"

Her heart jumped a little hearing Law's voice, "Ah… Tora… sorry! I kept my phone in a silence mode I didn't realize you called" she explained to him that she forgot to breathe.

"Calm down Nami-ya…. Never mind bout that… I just want to hear your voice" Law stated honestly.

Nami paused a while, smiling to herself.

"Awww… Tora… I feel like, I don't want to hang up. I want to talk to you the whole night" Nami heard Law laughed a little.

"Then, stay like this" Law suggested. Nami smiled and nodded. She leaned on her door and slowly slid down to sit.

"Nami-ya… don't just nod. Say something" Nami's eyes widened realizing what she just did. Nami laughed without a sound and put her palm on her mouth. All of sudden, she missed him. A lot.

Able to sense her feeling, Law teased her again to lighten up their conversation, "Now you are laughing alone, are you drunk?"

"Jeez… you are one to talk. I am not. I just…" she let out a heavy sigh and slowly sat on her bed "Tora… although you just called me today, I feel like, I miss you a lot already"

She heard him sighed then he spoke, "Nami-ya, you should not miss me"

Nami flustered, "Wha… wha…"

"Love me. That makes me feel better" For some unknown reason, she felt the words gave her a warm feeling. She smiled.

Then they continued their conversation. They spent the night as they usually did. But this time, their only voices were the thing that connected them.

As for now, she thought, this was the best moment in her life. Although they were far apart, she still could feel their heart were so close to each other.

And that night she slept comfortably as a smile could be seen painted on her face.
