Hindrance
Story Written by Tokiko
You were lying. At least I wish you were. Then everything could go back to normal again. But when you said that you were there that day something changed inside me.
"Hold it." I approached you at the door, slammed it shut with one arm and left it there. "Say it again."
You looked at me, biting your bottom lip. "Yes, I was at your apartment."
Your eyes said something too, but you know I was never good at reading people. So I continued to ask. "And ...?”
You backed away from me while your eyes were searching for a way out. "What else do you want to hear? I answered your question. Aren't you happy yet?"
If only I could have ended here. "No." I didn't think. My body was moving towards you. I didn't know what happened next myself. "There's one more thing." Somehow I got you trapped. I was leaning into you. My lips became very close to yours. I thought your lips looked very soft and had a pretty shade of pink to it. I wondered how they felt.
Your eyes went wide and you lips parted. "What are you..."
Your voice broke the spell. "Shit!" I jumped back. "What are you doing to me!?" It was your fault. You started all this. It was easier for me to blame it on you, I thought, which was partly true. But how about the other part?
"Reita . . ." I looked down where you have grasped my arm. It was also where the bruise was, which was caused by you too. It stung.
I flinched and pulled my arm back from you. 'Don't touch me,' I thought. It was dangerous.
I left the conference room quickly afterwards. I practically ran to my car. I already had the key in the ignition when I realized I didn't have anywhere to go, and I didn't want to go home yet. I pounded the steering wheel and fell back on the seat. Just then I looked and saw an old pack of cigarette tucked in the pocket of the door, or whatever you call that. I was reaching down to get it when I felt the car moved and the sound of the car door shut. I turned my head to the passenger seat and you were there.
"Take me home," you said, before I even had the time to be surprised.
You were unbelievable. Take you home, huh. What am I to you? Your personal chauffeur or something. "Was that supposed to be an order, or a request?" I asked, bitingly.
"Please," you responded stoically, without looking at me once since you got in my car I noticed.
Although I didn't wanted to, I decided to drive you home anyway. The ride was completely silent, expect for the sound of us breathing. It reminded me you were still there, which held me back from drifting to other places inside my head where I'd rather be. And it was weird not being able to crack a joke like I always did in these quiet moments. It wasn't the right time. I didn't know what was going on with us these days, and I wished it'd stop so we can go back to the way things were.
The traffic light ahead turned yellow, then red, and then I stopped the car. Suddenly, a fist full of my shirt was pull to the side of the passenger seat and you kissed me on the lips. The only thing that came to mind was that your lips were very soft. Next thing, I heard the car behind us beeping so I started driving again until we came to an empty street to take a stop.
"I'm sorry. I hoped to be friends with you forever... but it seems impossible now. " You looked down at your hands like you didn't know what to do with them. You looked so vulnerable and weak, unlike the Ruki everyone else are used to seeing. In rare moments like these I want to be the one to make you smile again, for some reason.
And this was what you felt all along... for me.
I had no idea.
This 'bombastic' change of event was then rudely interrupted by the grumbling sounds that came from my stomach. What 'perfect' timing, right? We looked at each other for approximately three seconds until we broke out in laughter.
"Let's have ramen," I declared, without a thought.
"Huh..." you're expression went blank, "... right now?"
Of course, I'm surprised too of my own actions. But for me, it didn't seem like the time to figure things out yet . "Let's deal with one thing at a time. Because apparently, my stomach's complaining about being hungry right now."
". . . Okay." You smiled. That was probably enough reason.
