*UNEDITED*Star Cafe - 1 hour later -
They managed to book a small private room in the cafe. Once the manager saw who they were, he quickly ushered them into a room. It seems like the manager of this place disliked standing out. Right before Lila came, he was so lost in thought and distracted that he didn"t realize when Rikka edged closer and started to kiss him. He immediately snapped out of his trance and pushed her away. But, he still felt the lingering sensation of her warmth on his lips.
Haruka however, didn"t get a chance to say a word when the doors opened.
Lila slapped him.
Or course she did, but when she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Haruka knew she wasn"t angry.
"Wife, don"t forgive me. I"m awful."
She shook her head, "This is because of me, because I"m stupid. Haruka, I"m really sorry..."
She doesn"t have to blame herself. It"s only normal for her to worry about Kiryu. He was the petty one going of drinking.
Rikka re-entered the lounge with some drinks. "All sorted?"
Haruka nodded.
"Then, I"ll tell you three straight. I think my father is tar getting you all."
Rikka"s father is...
"Why Kiryu?" Lila asked as she picked up one of the gla.s.ses. Haruka however immediately swapped it out with another drink and the girl laughed. "Silly," she mumbled.
"Because," Rikka looked down. "He wants to set you two up together, so I can return to Haruka easily."
"That stupid old man." Haruka cursed in his head.
Lila calmly took a sip of her drink, "Isn"t this because you really like Haruka?!"
"Yes."
Hey! Don"t say that in front of Lila.
"I see, ah-huh. I get it."
What does she understand? Haruka looked at his wife with an uneasy expression. However, Lila calmly drank the cup of tea in front of her. "You know Rikksan, it"s not like I don"t get where your coming from. You love Haruka and want to be with him, that"s normal. But please understand things from my point of view too. You keep hanging around Haruka like a fly," she shook her head. "No, your different from them and that"s why I"m not sure exactly what to do about this. You slept with Haruka, I"m angry at him and you too. But, I will leave it at this."
"Wife..."
"You see, I already said before that I"d break up with Haruka if he cheated on me. But now that he did it, I realize how futile those words are. It was a single one night mistake, and somebody set you two up. I"m not a fool, I can see that. All I ask of you Rikksan is, please refrain yourself from getting intimate. You wanted to win this fight fair and square, right?"
He doesn"t like women who leech on him, women who try to seduce him. Lila understood that very well. So even now, Lila is thinking for his sake?
....
After that discussion, Haruka headed out to smoke when he saw somebody throwing up in the sink area. Recognizing that back, he quickly rushed over.
Haruka grabbed hold of her wrist, "Are you okay?"
"I"m fine," Rikka muttered.
"Sorry," Haruka apologised. "I don"t remember what happened. But, I think I hurt you Rikka."
"You"ve always been aggressive, I didn"t expect you to be gentle. But, you were. I guess that"s how you act towards someone you actually love?" her tone seemed bitter and she coughed again.
Haruka blinked, "Why does she keep coughing? Is she sick?"
"Hey, what"s wrong?"
"I have an eating disorder, you know that right?"
"A disorder?" Haruka repeated. "It wasn"t just recently?"
At that comment Rikka averted her gaze and he tightened his hold on her wrist. "Since we broke up?" Haruka muttered.
"Yes."
"d.a.m.n," he cursed.
"You don"t have to do anything, this is my fault."
"I"ll take you to a doctor, no I"ll come with you next time you see one," Haruka loosened his hold. "Just, don"t act this way. I"m really sorry Rikka, please don"t avoid me."
"I"m sorry," Rikka apologized. "..the things is, Haruka...."
Rikka"s explanation however fell short when they hear a familiar sweet voice.
"Hubby?"
Haruka turned and saw his wife coming over, "Hey."
"Ah," Lila walked over, "You see, I wanted to get some studying done at home. So can we leave?"
"Yeah, alright..." he kisses her forehead. "Go ahead to the car without me, okay?"
Lila paused but slowly nodded her head as she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. She immediately left without saying another word. It was right at that moment where Rikka hugged him. He sighed deeply, "This really is getting annoying now."
"Rikka, I"ll come see you later," Haruka mumbled as the girl buried her face further in his arms. "I really don"t know what to do. Do you?"
"I don"t either, but right now. Stay by my side Haruka, whenever you can. Stay with me."
....
Apartment
The thing with Teras.h.i.+ma Lila is, she can easily switch from cute to s.e.xy in seconds. Now he understood why Lila is a cool idol and not a cute type. Everybody knows she can get this way, act like an ice queen but right now? Lila wore very s.e.xy looking night gown, and she was currently between his legs and sucking him of. Haruka"s breathing became very unsteady. The after affects of the drug remained in his body, so he still felt strange.
His wife, what is she doing? Attacking him the moment they got to the bedroom. It"s good, she"s driving him crazy.
"Wife, hah.... This is good, but what are you up to?"
"I wanted you, so I attacked."
"That"s great, but," Haruka panted. "Isn"t this uncomfortable for you?"
Lila"s cheeks turned red, and Haruka sighed. "Alright, let"s stop."
The girl shook her head, "But I wanted to..."
"Lila," Haruka said, raising his voice slightly. "It"s okay. I still love you."
Lila nodded and drew back, Haruka wiped her lips. "You look s.e.xy though, when did you buy this?" he pointed to the girls nightgown.
"Ah, it"s something old."
"Did you leave things behind in that villa? I"ll ask Myou to fetch it."
"Okay," Lila ran her hands through his exposed chest. "You had s.e.x with her, is that why your tired?"
"Well, I had s.e.x with her. But I don"t recall it very well, guess it"s side affects of the drug."
"She left a mark.. I want to do it too."
"Okay wife, you can mark me everywhere."
Lila sighed, "That"s a bit hard to do, your covered all over," she trailed off. "I really am mad. But I know it isn"t your fault. You love me so much Haruka, I...sometimes think I can"t handle all the love you give me."
"Lila."
"You know, I"ve never talked about it properly before. I didn"t even want to tell Kiryu. But, for the longest time after what happened with Mother and Ren-san, I felt so very alone. I felt like I didn"t have anybody else in this world."
"You"ve always felt this way?"
"Yes, even when I had so many people around me. I just felt terrible and sad everyday, I couldn"t explain it. Even though I have so many things to be thankful for."
Haruka didn"t realize Lila was in this much pain before. Then again, he"s always distracted and on-edge. Ever since they started dating, he"s always so cautious. Of course he wouldn"t notice anything. Haruka wrapped his arms around her and held her tightly. "Lila, my Lila.."
The girl was struggling not to cry and it pained him so much. Haruka gently kissed her eyelids, "What should I do? Do you want to return to Kiryu?"
She shook her head again.
"I don"t talk to Rikka?"
"No," she mumbled. "I just want things to be normal again."
