Chapter Two: Meeting You part two
2237 Words
Spring break was upon us and the guys decided to take me on a trip to Okinawa. They owned a beach house out there, so it was perfect. Mimi was invited too. I haven't seen Cult in months and he hasn't been coming to school. We arrived in Okinawa, it was so beautiful here. I went shopping with Mai and I finally got a chance to see my favourite band Trapnest (NANA Reference) in concert before they left on their tour. I was having fun but I couldn't help that I was missing something or rather someone.
"By the way Mai how come your boyfriend's not here?" Mimi quoted.
I was stunned and then I said, "Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend."
Mimi scratched her head and then she said, "But didn't the other Furukawa say you two were going out? I haven't seen him in a while so I was wondering."
"Cult's not my boyfriend he only said that to get the students off my back." I said.
"Really? I thought you guys looked cute together." She said as she walked in the bathroom. I thought about what Mimi said the whole day. Did Cult and I really look cute together? But then I started to think more on the subject: Why do I even like him? I mean he's always rude to me and he has a girlfriend. On top of everything he tried to do "THAT" to me. I thought about it over and over but somehow I still had feelings for him.
Later that night, We all went dancing. Blaine danced with Mimi, he looked so nervous with her. I think he caught a l liking to her too.
"So you're not dancing either?" said Kairo.
"Oh no I don't know how. But what about you? How come you're not dancing?" I said teasing him.
"Well you know I would dance but I have no one to dance with." He said smiling.
"Yeah right! You're a total player, you can have any girl you wanted." I said.
Kairo wrapped his arms around me and he said, "Well I only want one girl in particular but she's in love with my little brother." I pushed him away and told him not to joke like that.
"I'm not joking. I was serious on the bridge; I love you Mai." He said rubbing my hair. He walked away and I set there fixing my hair where he had touched. I knew how Kairo felt but I couldn't ignore the fact that my heart was urging for Cult. That night I just went to bed after thinking about things. Again I thought I felt someone caress my face. Then I felt something soft touch my lips. I opened my eyes just a little and it was Kairo. He was kissing me! I kept my eyes closed pretending to be sleep. I wanted to push him away but I just let it happen.
After that he kissed my forehead and left me to sleep. I couldn't believe he actually kissed me and that was my first kiss too. His lips were so soft and they felt so warm against mine. "Good morning everyone!" I said to everyone, walking past the lounge.
Kairo hugged me from behind in the hall and said, "Good morning Mai. I hoped you had a sweet dream last night."
I moved to the side quickly and said, "Oh good morning Kairo. Did you sleep okay?" I couldn't help that I was blushing.
Kairo tugged his hair back and said, "Ya'know it's not fun when you play hard to get like that."
"I'm not its just that you..." I stopped and started blushing, my face was so red.
"See I knew you weren't sleeping. Tell me you liked it didn't you?" He said smirking.
"No I-" I squeaked.
He slammed his hand on the wall and said, "Just you wait I'm going to make you forget all about Cult." He laughed and went into the lounge with everyone. I stood there holding my chest. My heart was beating and my face was uncontrollably red. I felt hot from that one sentence Kairo spoke. He was going to make me forget about Cult? What did he mean by that exactly?
We had a wonderful time in Okinawa but it was time to head home. When we returned Cult was there waiting for us.
"You're back now?" said Shane. Cult just nodded his head and went back to reading.
"You always do this. You fight with Kairo and Shane, then you leave. In the end you'll always come back home." said Chris. So he's done this before? Here I thought this was happening for the first time. Kairo and Cult just stared at each other. They didn't say anything and after a while they just smiled. I didn't understand what that meant but I guess that's the bond between brothers.
"Hey Mai I know this is long overdue but I'm sorry. You didn't deserve that." said Cult. When he said that his voice was so soft and sincere. I wanted to tell him how much I missed him but I just kept my mouth shut. Knowing how Cult was; even if I had told him it's not like he would care, he had a girlfriend.
"You should know you have a s**t load of work to get to." said Haru.
"Really?" said Cult.
"Yeah we weren't gonna let you get away leaving like that. So get to it!" said Blaine.
We didn't have school so the brothers threw a little gathering and Mimi came too. Blaine tried talking to her but he was still too shy.
"Hey you look happy today." said Kairo.
"Is it wrong to be happy?" I smiled.
"No? But you were walking around all depressed and now that he's back, you're acting like nothing ever happened. You must really like him huh!?" He said angrily.
"Well I guess yeah!" I smiled.
Kairo pushed me to the wall and said, "I meant what I said Mai. I will make you forget about Cult." Kairo grabbed my chin and move closer to me almost kissing me.
"What the hell are you two doing?" said Cult.
I pushed Kairo away quickly and looked at Cult.
Kairo grabbed my waist and said, "While you were gone Mai and I got really close. We even kissed...passionately."
"Kairo what are you doing telling him? Cult that never happened." I shouted.
"Don't deny it, you totally liked it. You even moaned." He said teasing me.
Cult just stared at the two of us and then he said, "Oh really? I guess you two kind of look like a good couple. Well then maybe we should have a double date sometime."
Double date? Cult was still with her? Right there I wanted to tell him how I felt, how much I loved him, and how I wanted him to break up with her. But I couldn't... I just watched his back as he walked away.
"Where the hell do you get off telling him that?!" I shouted.
"Now you're yelling at me? Wow there's a first for everything." He said laughing.
I ran upstairs to help Cult in the bedrooms. It was a little awkward but after a while Cult started talking to me.
"Hey... Are you and Kairo really together?" He said.
"Cult about that Kairo was just joking." I said looking at him.
"So you didn't kiss him?" He said. Cult look concerned as he questioned me.
"Well....Kairo kind of kissed me and I sort of let him do it." I said shyly.
"Hmm" He said and he went back to making up the bed.
I started to speak but Cult spoke out before me and said, "You two don't fit." After saying that he walked out. I started to think maybe Cult was starting to get jealous. And then I thought maybe if I played around with Kairo, I could see his reaction. But that wouldn't plan out too well.
"Mai do you think that Blaine likes me?" said Mimi. I smiled and nodded my head.
"Yeah I think so. He doesn't really talk much though, he only just started talking to me." I said.
"Yeah that's what I like about him I guess. He's not as wild and crazy as his brothers." She said blushing.
I thought it was nice having someone you like and they liked you back. I thought maybe it would be great if Cult felt the same way for me as I did for him. I thought maybe it was time for me to come out and tell him how I felt.
"Cult I....I want to tell you that I like you! I liked you for a really long time now. I don't care if you have a girlfriend! I love you!" I yelled as loud as I could. Cult looked at me with a shocked face. His mouth was wide open and his eyes were widen.
He didn't say anything for a while and then he said, "I'm sorry Mai but I just don't like you in that way." I tried not to cry but I couldn't control the tears from coming.
"I knew you were going to say that... I just wanted you to know my feelings." I said sadly as I walked out the room. I bumped into Chris in the hall and he stopped me.
"Mai? what's wrong and why are you crying? Did Cult do something again?" He said concerned.
"No it's nothing like that. I'm gonna go to my room for a while okay..." I sighed.
I was heartbroken and I wanted to die. I already knew what he would say but it hurt more when I actually heard it from his mouth. I hugged my pillow and cried myself to sleep.
Later I awoken from my sleep. I stepped out of bed to get a drink when I heard sounds coming from downstairs. I walked down the stairs slowly trying not to make a sound. When I got closer I heard the voices of Kairo and Cult.
"You're really starting to piss me off! That girl poured her heart out to you and you rather run off to that w***e!" said Kairo. He was so angry and his voice was so fierce.
"Where the hell do you get off calling her that! You know nothing about her! I told Mai how I felt so get off my back!" Cult said.
"Why the f**k did you even come back? Why don't you just go live with the broad!" Kairo yelled.
"I'm getting real sick of you talking about her like that! You don't have a girl so don't complain about mine!" Cult yelled. Kairo grabbed Cult by his collar.
"Who the f**k do you think you are talking to me like that?! I can care less about your relationship. The only thing I'm concerned about is my little brother! I don't want something to happen to you! But you're to f*****g stupid and oblivious to see that!" Kairo screamed.
Cult pushed Kairo's hand and said, "Thanks but I don't need your concern! Kairo I'm not a kid anymore. I can take care of myself."
Cult picked up his bag and he left out the door. I tried to go back upstairs but my leg slipped and Kairo turned towards me.
"You really shouldn't eavesdrop Mai." He said going to sit down.
"I didn't mean to. It's just that I heard voices." I said walking downstairs. Kairo took out a pack of cigarettes and started smoking.
"Were we loud? If we were I'm sorry we woke you." He said covering his face.
"You didn't I was already up." I said. Kairo grabbed me and pulled me closer to him. He wrapped his hands around my waist and set his head on my stomach.
"Kairo what're you?" I gasped.
"Please Mai just let me stay like this for a while." He started to cry, I could feel those warm tears soak through my shirt. Kairo was hurting too and I never even realized. I didn't have anything to say, so I stood there rubbing his head as he cried.
"I'm sorry Mai. It's just that I'm really worried about Cult. Not just me we all are. I know we don't show it but we are. I just don't know what to do anymore." He said.
"What do you suppose is wrong with him?" I said.
"Who knows?! I think it started after our parents passed away. Cult and I use to be really close, he would tell me everything but after the accident he just shut down." He said.
"I'm sorry Kairo. How did they die?" I questioned.
"Car crash.. he said blowing out smoke. He stopped talking to us and he became quiet. He would get into alot of trouble in school. After he met her; she was helping him deal with the grief. We thought it was going great and Cult started to be his self again. But that changed when we found out that she had a fiancee and she was just playing around with Cult. He knew that and yet he insisted on staying with her. We just don't want him to get hurt again." Kairo said.
I had no idea that this is what has been going on. I felt so out of place...
