The Woman Of THREE CROWN PRINCES
THE GEISHA AND MOMIJI DREAM PART 63. Just Hold My Hand 7
The rest of the night we spent our dinner without a fight. Without getting angry with each other for the first time.
"Why have you changed. Why did you call me yesterday and take me to dinner." A question when we got back to the car afterwards.
"What's changed?"
"I thought you'd still be mad at me and blame me for Ryohei. I thought then you'd act like you were before. Put up your friendly face so I don't take it personally." Apparently he was curious.
"I might listen to other people's points of view. I thought you were just mad at me for your rivalry with Ryohei."
He was silent to my answer.
"Does it look like that? Who gave you another point of view? What he said about me."
"My friend Mio, after your arrival of only five minutes, she said you actually just missed me, she said you were so sweet..." He's smiling at me now.
"I have to say thank you to Mio if it's to Gion." And a small laugh later even though his gaze remained on the road. He did not admit it directly. But he wanted to thank Mio. I think that's the way he says everything Mio says is true.
I can't say anything about that either.
When I got home, I thought I was pounding again. There is something unclear about all this. The short drive from the Hotel in Nishinjuku to Minato which was only twenty minutes was not enough for me to prepare myself. Preparing my mentality to deal with it was just the two of me.
"You can go back." He said the order ended duty for his guards.
"Good sir." And I went inside, having opened my shoes quickly.
"Setsuko, I want to talk." And I won't be able to avoid this conversation right now. "Follow me,..." He caught my hand, even if I wanted to run because I was nervous I wouldn't be able to right now.
He did not speak and took me to a room on the second floor. I didn't know what room it was, but after he turned on the light I realized it was his room.
"Why are we here." Does he want to do something. That fast? Does it have to be that fast. My mind was headed straight for the worst.
"I just want to talk to you." She smiled a little. "It's just my room."
"Speak what..." My voice may be too small to listen to.
"Is Ryohei-san still seeing you?" He's standing in front of me. While my knees feel weak.
"No. Don't make trouble with him. You don't have to fight because of me."
"I didn't say I was going to fight. All I want to ask is, do you .. believe what Mio said." I looked at him, he just stood in front of me, not even daring to touch me I think he might be as pounding as me.
I answered him with a nod. I dare not even look at him later. It was unexpected that he grabbed my body and took it into his arms.
"I did miss you, I took the last fast train to Kyoto that night to see you. At that time I thought I was crazy. I don't even have a job in Kyoto if you want to know, ..."
I don't know what I did then. I returned his embrace.
"I should have thrown you when you came." She laughs.
"100% I will accept your throw and I will repay you by kissing you again there. I'm so jealous thinking you blushed in front of that fucking Ryohei." I am now the one laughing in his arms, this confession feels so funny and pushy. I don't know why I like it.
