Chapter 26I traveled up the short and narrow stairs with each step making the floor creak. My heart raced as if it was going to explode out. The Aiba family remained quiet with Aiba-san’s father in front of me, while Aiba-san trailed behind me. Even though I couldn’t see it, I had a feeling that Aiba-san didn’t want me to see Mariko. He was ( Read more... )

Chapter 25I placed my Bluetooth headset on my ear as I started my car. A rush of feelings burst into me. I was happy, sad and confused. How could fate play a trick on me?

Chapter 23Aiba-san and I made a silent descent down the stairs, when my father who was sitting-almost as if he was waiting for us-in the living room, spotted us. His legs were crossed as he sat on the sofa with an English newspaper in his hand. I rolled my eyes as soon as I noticed what he was doing.

Chapter 18“You’re asking me if I have any sort of romantic feelings for him?” I asked to clarify his question to me. Ninomiya-san nodded his head. I thought of his question in my head. Me, have any feelings for Aiba-san? I slowly cocked my head to the side. I don’t recall having any feelings of love, endearment, and care for Aiba-san. I looked at ( Read more... )

Chapter 17It has been a few days since I met Aiba-san or Ninomiya-san. I was happy that they avoided me. I already had so many things to worry about. I didn’t want them to become a thorn at my side again. However I had been getting a few text messages from Aiba-san, asking if I was okay or what I was doing at that moment. A normal person would ( Read more... )

Chapter 16I took a bite of my sushi before I quickly popped in another one. I wanted to have a peaceful and quiet meal but I could tell that it wasn’t going to happen. “So, how do you know this restaurant if you don’t mind me asking you?” Ninomiya-san asked with an intrigued and curious look in his eyes. Then I could feel that Aiba-san, Haruhi and ( Read more... )
