That old man says some decent things occasionally. But, at that time when he said it. He just dismissed it as Lila being another person his parents want him involved with. However, once he met her, he understood. It"s not like that. This girl already has her beloved, even his parents wouldn"t be cruel enough to match him with someone who already has someone. She isn"t just a partner for convenience either, so, then, what purpose does this girl have? He doesn"t get it.
But, this is probably one of those things that will be solved sooner or later. After all, she signed a contract with their company, so she is signed on as a official composer for RAY. Honestly, when he saw that he was surprised. Isn"t this girl here to expand her dreams? Why is she wasting time on them? At first, he thought this, but seeing her att.i.tude towards senpai, he"s starting to see something different now.
. . . . . . .
A few hours later.
Watching the two, has become somewhat of a game to him now. Since personally seeing how close they are to each other just a few hours prior.
"Mmmghhh…I want you to come with me."
"S--senpai, you have to go! I"m not needed in the meeting."Lila was struggling to break free from senpai"s hold.
"I know."Haruka murmurs quietly. His tone changed to a quiet one and Lilchan, upon noticing, also stopped struggling.
She pulls out a lunchbox from her bag and places it in senpai"s hands.
"Senpai, um…"
"For me again? Then, I"ll treat you tonight."
"Yes, I am look forward to it."
With those words said, senpai leaves. Which left him with Lila.
"Dating yet?"Mikami asks, but already knows the answer.
He just want to see her reaction.
Sure enough, the girl was beet red all the way up to her ears and she frantically shakes her head. It was sort of cute how embarra.s.sed she was getting.
"Hamano-kun, Hamano-kun. Actually,"Lila whispers in his ear, his eyes go wide.
"Meet Kiryu-san?"Mikami repeated, surprised.
"Yes."
Well, well. That was fast.
No, the fact that they held back from meeting for almost a month is already amazing enough.
It"s true that they were given the task to look after her. But they were also given other instructions. Lilchan, is lucky that he"s the one she told first. He"s pretty sure that Kouta would stick to the duty given to him. However, he"s different, he made a promise with s.h.i.+chiro. "If, by any chance they do get to meet. Don"t stop them, help cover for her."
Even though because of the events that happened in the past, their friends.h.i.+p can"t return to what it was. He, will still uphold his promise.
___________________________________________________
The moment Lila approached the meeting room, she heard it. The small s.p.a.ce made it possible. The moment she opened the door, the sound of heavy breathing by the two occupants inside the room echoed through the corridor. Sounds of a woman and a man as their bodies collided against each others. Lila, almost drops the doc.u.ments in her hands. Her whole face turning red. R--right, he did say it was urgent. When, Haruka has s.e.x with someone. His voice becomes more masculine than usual, it makes her feel embarra.s.sed.
Taking a deep breathe, Lila manages to slip inside the room. Sure enough, the sight before her was exactly what she heard from the outside. Lila averts her gaze desperately. She must, find a way to get his attention.
Just as she was thinking that Haruka looks up and his eyes meet hers. He bends down and whispers something in the girl"s ear, before getting changed quickly. He walks over to her and brushes his hand against her face, briefly caressing her cheeks. Before pulling away.
"Let"s go."
"Okay…"
Lila quickly follows him. Thoughts drifting. It"s normal. Even though she reprimanded him, she understands fully well that it"s normal for him and for most people too. She understands it, but maybe it"s because she does, that she feels bad. Why does she feel bad? She doesn"t really…know. But, it"s painful.
"…What"s wrong?"Haruka must have sensed her unease, since he wore a somewhat worried look on his face.
He really is a kind person, people simply can"t see it.
"Senpai, do you have to see other girls?"
Lila decides to ask him directly.
"You don"t like it?"
"….…"
He must have taken her silence as disapproval since a slight sigh escapes his lips.
"It"s for your sake, you"ll get bullied if I don"t."
She gets that. But, she"s uncomfortable. They aren"t dating, so these thoughts are selfish. She can"t tell him these words, because he may get the wrong idea. She doesn"t want him to misunderstand. Feeling the warmth of his hand on hers, she looks up.
"Senpai?"
"Let"s go to a hotel."
.
.
"What? Yeah, yeah."
"Un…. senpai?"
He ends his phone call and pushed her back down on the bed. Murmurs some seductive words in English in her ear, before taking her lips in his again, her whole face reddens. Is he serious? Or isn"t he? Even though -- even though, --- oh no, her mind is going fuzzy again. This always happens whenever they kiss. This person"s kisses are rougher and more pa.s.sionate
Whenever they kiss. He"s clearly sending the message that he wants to possess her. To own her. Feeling his fingers lift her s.h.i.+rt up, she panics.
"W-wait."Lila exclaims. They cant..
"Calm down, I won"t do anything other than this."
He won"t?
Haruka, never asks her to trust him. Even though, those are the words, you would normally use in this situation. He"s never once used them with her. It"s like, there is something, preventing him from doing so. "Senpai, has done more dangerous things than you think. It"s fine okay to fall in love with him, but remember to keep your distance." Hamano-kun made it sound like it"s certain she would fall in love with him. But, in the first place. What is love? She"s only ever fallen in love with Kiryu. She doesn"t know if it"s possible to love someone else, and she still loves Kiryu too.
Can you really fall in love with someone else despite already being in a stable relations.h.i.+p with another person?
That is surely impossible.
But, Lila can"t say so for sure.
Feelings are not that simple.
