"Did you scare Soichiro away too?" Lila commented as she returned to the audience seat area. Soichiro was no longer there, but instead, Tachibana Ameno was. "I"m still angry, you know? After what happened the other time.."Ameno laughed, "You"re upset that I hurt him?"
"Of course, I am! How could you ruin his handsome face like that."
"Contrary to your words Little Lila, you like appearances a lot."
"Why did you come here?"
"As an escort," Ameno winked.
Escort? Lila glanced over at what he was pointing at. Her eyes widened when she saw who it was. It was none other than her husband. "For two people who just fought not too long ago, why do you keep hanging around him?" Lila said suspiciously.
"Now, Little Lila. I think you forgot; the Haruka job was mine initially."
"Forget it. I don"t understand what you"re thinking at all."
Ameno reached over and patted her hair, surprising her. "Ameno-senpai?"
"I"ll keep watch over you like I always have, and you can come to me whenever you like. Remember, I"m your senpai."
This guy always says such contradictory things. But, she does indeed need someone to discuss these matters with. Preferably somebody who isn"t in love with her. "Thank you."
Lila exchanged a few more words before she made her way over to where Haruka was. He leaned against the front row seating area and seemed to be fiddling with his phone.
When she was directly in front of him, Lila coughed. Haruka looked up from his phone, "Wife."
Lila quickly decided before he could say anything, "Let"s go out back."
Haruka agreed and followed her up the long staircase.
He is going to the back..huh? Then he doesn"t want the others to come along. Is he angry? He hasn"t said anything, and it takes a long time to walk up these stairs. Lila felt anxious, "This is awkward." She and Haruka seldom fought. Sure they bickered a lot before they dated. However, those small fights vanished when they started dating. Lila understood the reason why Haruka won"t yell at the girl he is dating. He won"t act like a saint and not scold her. However, he will treat her more previously.
Eventually, they stopped walking. Or rather, Haruka stopped and chose to sit down in the third row to the back seats. He immediately pulled out music sheets from his bag and started to write. Lila awkwardly stood there watching him, "Uh, is he going to ignore her?"
Should she wait for him to talk to her? But first, she has to sit down. However, Lila couldn"t feel any strength in her legs at all. She understood the reason why. All that practicing and now this awkwardness and tension...
"Um. I haven"t seen you in ages. How are you doing?" Lila decided to break the ice. But she immediately regretted her words.
How are you doing? Was that the best thing she could come up with? Then again, Haruka has done a great job of avoiding her lately. Ever since they became hospitalized, she hardly saw him. Lila thought that maybe he was visiting Aizawa Mei again, but he hasn"t dropped by there at all.
Haruka must have noticed how nervous she was since he suddenly puts his pen down. "Lila, come over here, " he said. She took a step forward, and he pulled her towards him and sat on his lap.
"Why..have you been avoiding me?" she whispered. He kept sending the others to guard her. It showed that Haruka was very worried about her. But what good is that, if he hasn"t been talking to her?
Lila felt strange when he did that, it felt like that time during the time their relations.h.i.+p was dodgy. He takes a whiff of her hair, "Sorry," he mumbled.
Just that single word shouldn"t be enough; she should be angry and make a fuss. But Lila knew it was helpless the moment she sat down. She caught his scent. It was something rather addictive.
Kiryu had been completely different. Though they kissed a lot and did it. Kiryu never went overboard. He wasn"t that kind of person; he was the kind of person who would wait. Haruka, too, was the same, and yet at the same time, he knew how to captivate her easily.
Haruka smiled while he kissed her and wrapped both of his arms around her waist. Lila noticed how tight his hold on her was. He must be ensuring that she is right here. "So silly, he was the one ignoring her." She waited until he claimed her lips and wrapped her arms around his neck, deepening his kiss.
"Idiot," she said once they finished. She was out of breath and felt a bit dizzy. So Lila rested her head on his shoulders for a bit.
"I know. I have missed being with you, though I said I"d help you with your lessons I didn"t.."
Lila shook her head, "You can"t help it. You"ve been busy," she trailed off. Yet it was still too much.
Haruka pulled her closer, "That"s no excuse. I should have still been able to see you."
"At night, you still sleep beside me, though."
Haruka chuckled, "Well, you should at least allow that much wife."
Lila rolled her eyes; it doesn"t matter. Her gaze fell on Haruka"s neck, "Your neck....bruises? Did Sophia try to.."
" ..for a while," Haruka mumbled.
No wonder he could not answer her calls. That pained expression in his eyes, he is enduring a lot.
Lila pulled him into a hug, "It"s alright. I won"t leave you. I"ll always be with you."
"Lila, you smell nice."
She hits his head, "Do you have to ruin the moment?"
He takes a whiff at her, "Say, Lila, are you wearing my cologne?" he said, looking right at her.
"Shoot caught..." Lila laughs lightly.
"Well, you see," She blushed and pulled away from him. "I wanted to smell it, so I took off the cap. However, it didn"t work, so I sprayed some on my wrist, and I thought it smelled good. Before I knew it I sprayed it all over me, I"m sorry!" She said in one breath, or rather she was only meant to drop something off to his apartment. Lila didn"t know how she ended up going inside.
Haruka gave her the keys, but Lila didn"t think she would ever have to use it. Rather the moment she found something with her scent, it drove her crazy.
"It"s alright, I"m glad you like it," he chuckles. "I mean, they designed it to match the way I smell. Only women who like my scent will like it. I"m glad to know that it"s you who likes it the most."
Lila didn"t know whether he was doing it deliberately, but he sounded very seductive when he said that. She felt the heat on her cheeks increase by the very minute. He still has that same player side. She tried to hide her blus.h.i.+ng face with her hands, but it did her no good.
"Don"t think I can"t see you blus.h.i.+ng. Are you thinking of dirty things, dear?"
"Don"t bully me, jerk!"
"You"re a dirty girl." He snickered. Lila proceeded to hit him, but he grabbed hold of her wrist. "I"m just teasing you, wife."
"Hmph."
"But this reaction of yours does interest me. Are you thinking dirty things, after all?" Haruka suddenly changed to a serious tone. But this leads her to hit him across the head.
