Part 22: Last Night
Mio's POV
"I'm trying, gosh, what do you think I'm doing?" I exclaimed in exasperation as I gripped the handrail for support and I winced every so often while every step I took sent turmoil to my feet – damn it.
"I told you many times and I'll tell you again – she's not good for you. She's not worth it," she stated firmly but her sob at the end gave away how fragile she really was. "Risa deserves better."
I really wanted to bite back but even I knew Mama could not be further from the truth, still, it was my fault too. She only succeed in hurting me because I let her in – I did it to myself somehow.
"I know, darling, I know you used her simply to get back at us but there's a limit to everything," she guessed as I bit my lower lip – they never took our relationship or my sexuality seriously.
"You have to reconsider his proposal, Mio, he's a good man," she repeated as I clasped my fist simultaneously. I was too tired to bicker, to remind her that I had enough – she was enough.
Ritsu's POV
"I was never around when Risa had her first step, her first word – I don't think I have the right," I breathed as she put on a sympathetic look – the one I'm used to since she found me.
"It's not your fault, okay? You didn't know," she comforted me shortly as she held my hand, gently interlaced our fingers. The way they interwove effortlessly always tugged my heart.
Mugi was definitely the closest person to me. In fact, we were very close that she never failed to understand me – a simple thing Mio refused to every time our relationship went under. I knew so.
We did cross the line sometimes and I actually loved the intercourses we had because she never asked for more the moment after. It often ended as fast as it began. It is what it is – I believed her.
"Hmm? Shit, I forgot!" I stared at her curiously whereas she kept scrolling up and down her incoming message – probably from one of her students. "I gotta go, Ricchan," she sulked curtly.
