*UNEDITED*"I"m sorry for crying so much." Yumeko apologized. She felt very embarra.s.sed.
Aida shook his head, "It"s okay to cry. You"re usually so strong and trying to hold everything back in."
"...Say," Yumeko mumbled. "How come you know a lot about me?"
"I think we"ve spent quite a bit of time together now. It"s normal, no?"
Yumeko looked at him suspiciously. "Even if he says that.." He knows too much. The way he comforted her just there too resembles Atsuya too much. Just now she calmed down quickly because it felt like Atsuya was the one hugging her. If he isn"t Atsuya, then maybe he knows him? It would make a lot more sense if that was the case.
Is it just her? But she gets a strange feeling from him. It"s probably just her imagination. They can"t be the same people. Atsuya is alive that"s the reality she has to face. So what"s wrong with her suspecting other people?
Her thoughts broke off when she felt his hands on her hair.

A deep sigh crossed her lips as she walked across the foyer. Lila still felt everybody looking at her. "Stupid Soichiro, suggesting something so ridiculous." Then again, she understood what he was trying to do. She is trying to provoke Zane"s allies in the entertainment industry. She eventually reached the door and bolted out of the door. Her gaze fell on the sky, it was getting a lot warmer these days. But the skies remain grey.
Now then, how should she get back to the hospital? She does have another job. But it isn"t a priority, the director won"t mind if she delays it. She just wants to lay down and go to sleep. Lately, it feels like
"My wife." A familiar voice called out.
Her eyes widened when she spotted Haruka waiting at the gate. "How stupid.."
"I didn"t think you would wait for me." Lila mumbled as Haruka wrapped his scarf around her.
"Why wouldn"t I?"
"Because your other mistresses are waiting for you."
Haruka flicked her forehead, "That joke is getting old now. Mistress? I have a perfectly good wife. Why would I need a mistress?"
"Then, those leeches…"
He shook his head. "Forget about them. Are you tired? Hungry? We can go grab a bite to eat before your next job."
"I want to go home." Lila mumbled. She wants to go home and be with him.
"Alright, let"s go home wife. Do you want me to kiss you?"
"I will be the one doing the kissing."
.......
Lila and Haruka"s house.
During the entire car journey, she was kissing him. The moment they entered the house. Lila didn"t hesitate and wrapped her arms around his neck. She likes kissing him. Not only does it make her feel safe, wanted and loved. But, Lila opened her eyes and saw Haruka"s expression. Lately she does this a lot, whenever they kiss she opens her eyes a bit. "It makes Haruka happy, and she can see how much he wants her."
"Mmmm, wife. Quit kissing me." Haruka eventually pulled her away slightly.
"Hubby, I want to continue."
Haruka gently kissed her lips, "Be a good girl. Wait till your eighteen. April is a few months away. Two months from now, I will do everything you want."
Lila pouted, "I only wanted to kiss! You can still allow that much right?"
"Give me a break, you know kissing with you is…" Haruka"s sentence fell short when his phone rang. "Hold on," Haruka took his phone out. "Hey Rikka? Mmmm, I just got back. Yeah, I remember. I will send you the details later today. That"s fine with me.."
Lila knew they were talking about work. But that didn"t stop her from kissing Haruka on his neck.
"Hey wife I"m on the phone."
Lila didn"t say anything and continued placing kisses on his neck. Haruka grunted and ran his hands through her back.
"Hmmmm… Yeah I"m a bit busy," Haruka trailed off. "I"ll see you tomorrow."
"Jealousy over?"
Lila shook her head, "No.."
Haruka scooped her up in his arms. "Alright wife, why don"t we cuddle in the bath?"
Her eyes brightened at those words and he kissed her forehead. "I don"t mind you being jealous," Haruka said as they walked up the stairs. "But, tone it down wife. You will end up sick."
"I have jealousy issues you know that."
"You don"t have to be jealous. I only have eyes for you and think only about you."
"That"s true, but I"m not used to you acting so kindly to another girl." Lila sighed. She felt very conflicted about it. It should be okay for them to get close to other girls. "I know I have jealousy issues, but I can"t help it."
"I know. I can"t wait to take you on our honeymoon. I"ll show you so much love that your jealousy issues will disappear." Haruka mumbled.
So much love? What does he mean by that? Lila is very curious how Haruka intends to show her how much he loves her. She will already be eighteen when they go, so maybe it"s something intimate?
Haruka quickly brought her inside and placed her down on the tub. He tugged on her clothing but paused. "Can I take it of for you?"
"Ah-huh, okay."
Right now she was in deep thought. So it shouldn"t be that embaras- she paused when Haruka started to remove her clothes.
Haruka cupped her cheeks and chuckled. "What happened to your bravery?"
"Ah, I feel like an idiot when I talk to you."
"You go ahead with the bath. I"ll take a shower and join you afterwards."
With those words said Haruka stood up and left. She hears the sound of him entering the shower room next door and frowned slightly. "There"s a shower here too…" Maybe… Lila wrapped the towel around her frame and made her way over.
"Listen don"t cry. Remember what I said last time? If you don"t entertain him he won"t come to you. Rikka, please don"t make this hard for me."
"So that"s why.." Lila isn"t surprised. He probably had something to talk to her about. Haruka could have just said something, but he probably thought she wouldn"t listen.
"You know that"s not it. I do care for you. But I can"t show up and help you as anything more than a friend."
Lila watched as he slowly discarded his clothing to the side. Her cheeks burned red and she looked away. Haruka brought his phone with him and switched on the speaker.
"Even if he keeps calling me?"
"He"s only doing that to spite me. He thinks your going to him because we fought or something. If you ignore him, Zane will leave you alone."
"You really don"t care." Rikka"s tone was very bitter.
"I said I care about you. You don"t believe me after everything?"
