"I love that about you"

Entry 11- Piano

In the past I have lived with my aunt and uncle. It was for about 4 months or so. She has her own buisness up in a small town in the mountains somewhere. They were the rich ones in our family. You know, that family member that seems to have more money than others? Yeah that was them. I worked with them in their office up there and babysat my cousins, their kids who were spoiled brats. They were sweet on the outside but little shits at home. Everyone in the town looked at them to be the family of the town. My uncle was mayor for a while. To everyone, they were perfect, but they had a lot of their own problems. I moved back into Karakura town after 4 months of pure torture with those kids man. I made big bucks but it wasn't worth it. They would hit me and smack me when they didn't get their way and you know, they are kids so it shouldn't matter. Not to me. That doesn't fly with me so after their parents did absolutely nothing to fix their attitudes around me I grabbed my last check and left.

There are no hard feelings at all, they understood seeing as they already lost 2 nannies prior to me. If not even a family member could handle them, god knows who can.

Anyway, so she contacted me today and asked me to come by and pick up clothes for my older sister. My older sister was out of town on work business so couldn't come herself. She said she would reward me with money and such and I really didn't want to. I told her I'd see how my schedule was, which in all reality, I had the next couple days off so I COULD go it was all a matter of if I wanted to. Which I really didn't because that was a long ass drive.

Ichigo came over that night with his guitar and after setting it down he knew something was wrong cause of how little I was talking. I told him it was nothing but he didn't drop it. I told him the whole backstory and what she wanted and as he tuned his guitar, he listened.

"So are you gunna go?" He asked. I took off my work shirt and pants and sighed

"I don't know...it's a long boring drive, all for a bunch of clothes."

"Doesn't sound worth it but if she needs you.." He said, making a good point.

"yeah I don't know. Imma shower" I said, grabbing my towel and heading into the shower. It was then, that it hit me. An idea was going through my head as I remembered him saying he loved nature. I totally forgot because of how we NEVER go anywhere but to my bedroom. My mind started cooking and began remembering everywhere that I went when I lived there. I made a friend in town that worked with me at their office and she took me everywhere! A bunch of beautiful spots and because it was in the mountains, there was a ton of nature, everywhere. It was also another 30 minutes to an hour, from the beach. I finished washing up and went back into the room.

"Have a nice-"

"Come with me" I said, still dripping wet with the towel around me. He raised a brow, very confused. I sat down beside him with an excited look on my face.

"Down to my aunts. come on we can make it a day trip so it wont be a waste. I know you said you loved to get out and you haven't been up there before cause I didn't see it in any of your photos." I bit my lip, waiting his response. He chuckled and went back to playing as he thought about it.

"Mmmm..." He paused. I stood up and dried off, throwing on pajamas and sitting back down after brushing my hair.

"Please...We never go anywhere..." I said sadly.

"There's a reason for that" he mumbled. I tilted my head and he looked at my face and sighed, setting his guitar down. "I don't like PDA" he confessed. I was a bit upset but it didn't come as a shock. I kind of figured that. He didn't seem like the type. I shrugged and he smirked. "You're fine with that?" He asked. I nodded, lying to myself.

"Well, it can't be helped but you know" I said. He picked up his guitar again and sat back against the pillows propped up against the wall. "Please...It would be so nice..."I mumbled. He glanced up at me and I smiled softly with hope.

"Sure" he smirked, going back to strumming his guitar. I squealed with happiness and grabbed my phone and confirmed with my aunt. That day we didn't really do much talking. I was planning out where we would go, packed our lunches and snacks and he was on his guitar, songbook next to him. The last couple time's he has come over, we didn't have sex. Just like tonight and even though I miss it. I was glad we were beginning to build a friendship.

That morning, we left my house at 7am. It was still February so I didn't pack a baithing suit cause I knew It would be too cold to go swimming in the ocean. SO I wore my hiking outfit cause that was what our day was going to consist of mostly and I grabbed a jacket and some sweats for when we go to the ocean and we left. He brought his guitar along and we stopped by his place so he could grab some things and we were off. I filled my tank with enough gas to get us there, knowing I would get money for getting the clothes. and we drove the few hours up there and not a dull moment went by. We were laughing and talking and singing to each other the whole way. When we went out of area for the radio, we shut it off and that's when he opened up a bit more. He ended up telling me about his family.

He had a half brother that he lived with and doesn't talk to his dad at all. He has a mother that moved to england with his stepdad and she had twins so he has siblings out there that are 2 years old. He says when his grandmother visits, she brings him back england's chocolate from his mom. A duffle-bag full of em. He told me how he learned to play all the instruments and told me all the instruments he owned. He asked me about my family and I told him. I told him how I was super close to my brother. I told him about my aunts and uncles and cousins and all the crazy parties we would have and he couldn't relate. The only family he has is in another country and he doesn't talk to the only piece of family he has here except his grandparents on his mothers side and he barely visits them either. I felt bad because thinking back, I didn't know what 'd do without my family. We had a bunch of fun, all of us so all I could think about was how alone he must be. That's when he told me his friends are like his family. He has a very best friend he grew up with and hes about to have a baby so he is excited that he will be like an uncle. He said he couldn't wait to spoil that girl and how he was probably going to baptize her too. Seeing him light up like that was the best.

When we got there I opened the door and my aunt came out, dressed so professional like always. She hung up the phone and I smirked, remembering how busy she was all the time. She owned two business' out here so I could understand why they were so busy. One was a winery and the other was a shop that sells their wine, as well as others. She smiled at my arrival.

"Aunty Yoruichi" I greeted.

"Oh my look at you, you've grown" She hugged me and I hugged back, looking around.

"Where is Uncle urahara?" I asked.

"He is in a meeting with another winery around town. You still have the key to my house yeah? I have to run to a meeting so feel free to help yourself, the bags are in the family room and the money is on the table by the piano." She said. I nodded and she kissed my head and ran to her car and drove off, not even noticing Ichigo. He got out and I took the key from my key chain and unlocked the 2 story mansion.

"Busy?" He asked. I smirked.

"You have no idea. Can you help?" I asked, motioning inside. He nodded and after locating the bags I unlocked the trunk and he grabbed all 3 bags full of clothes and walked outside with them, setting them in there he came back inside to see if there was more. I was standing by the piano when he walked up and counted the 100 bucks. She always liked to give more than needed and that's when he opened up the wooden cover and revealed the dusty keys. "Oh yeah, I forgot you can play Piano. Lemme see then" I said, shoving the money into my pants. He smirked and sat at the bench and his fingers did all the talking. He played so beautifully as his fingers glided across the keys, sending a beautiful echo throughout the house. After he stopped, I smiled and began walking out, him following me after he closed the Piano. "I have a keyboard at home in the garage. You should teach me sometime

"That'd be awesome. We could make music together it would be pretty badass" He said. I laughed and nodded, locking the door, closing the trunk and leaving the house with him to start our adventure.
