Chapter 198 - Make Up For Loss Time
It never occurred to her how much of a childhood she missed out on, until she hung around Teras.h.i.+ma Yuhi. Then again the two of them lived completely different lives.
When Yuhi suggested to go and have some fun. Sumire didn"t think it would be at a bowling alley.
"Why are we here?" Sumire said, puzzled.
"Well didn"t you tell me before that you never went bowling? So here we are."
Sure she said something like that but why on earth are they here now? She didn"t think he would take her seriously.
Yuhi walked over and picked up one of the b.a.l.l.s. "These are quite heavy, you still want to try?"
Well forget it, since they are here already it won"t do her any harm trying. She took the ball from him and put her fingers in the holes. She never bowled before but she saw this stuff in movies. Yuhi was right, the ball was heavy but she lifted it easily.
She doesn"t have inhumane strength for nothing.
Yuhi pointed to the lane. "Well there is no trick to bowling but the good old fas.h.i.+on hunching down is a great start." He trailed off and shook his head. "Let me teach you."
He probably realized that having a pregnant woman hunch down was a bad idea.
Yuhi appeared behind her and grabbed her hand that was holding the ball. "Alright, on the count of one...two.." Before Yuhi finished the count down she already raised the ball and threw it.
She watched as it travelled down the lane and in the next few seconds- all the pins fell.
Sumire tilted her head confused. "That"s all?"
She doesn"t understand what all the rush and excitement about.
Yuhi laughed. "You"re lucky it"s just us here, otherwise I am sure the fanatics would surround you."
"Well." Sumire nodded. "I guess it has something to do with arm strength."
She picked up another ball and threw it down the lane.
"Yuhi-san what made you think we should go bowling?"ƒ??e????૦???. ???
"Hmm? Well, I realized that since you came here you haven"t relaxed much."
"I see." Her gaze softened. "So this is a date?"
His lips curve to a smile but he nodded. "Yeah. During the day we always end up interrupted one way or another. But at night people are usually sleeping."
So that is why he makes arrangements during the night. Well she supposes that made sense.
"By the way Yuhi." Sumire trailed off. "I know it is late and all, but the fact that we are the only ones here makes me suspicious."
Yuhi hugged her from the back. He brought his lips to her ear. "This is an odd thing to be suspicious about."
"It is?" She plays with his hands.
"Yeah it is. Besides you." He kissed her cheeks softly. "-are mine. So I can do as I please."
He makes a valid point there.
After bowling a few more times, they left the bowling alley hand in hand. She glanced over at Yuhi who was fiddling with his bike keys. "Yuhi?"
"Ah, there it is."
Sumire looked up and saw a familiar bike at the car parking lot. She wondered where it was, so he left it here? It seems like Yuhi goes to these places often.
"Yuhi, I would rather walk."
Yuhi nodded. "If thats what you want."
She rested her head on his shoulder. "Actually I want to kiss for a few minutes."
He rolled his eyes. "So many requests dear. Next thing you know we will be on the ground and kissing like crazy people again."
Sumire laughed softly. "I think I am getting a bit addicted Yuhi."
It wasn"t a bit and they both knew that. Lately it seems like she can"t go a day without kissing him, but then again not a day has pa.s.sed where he hasn"t kissed her. Even before they dated he was already claiming her lips as his own.
Yuhi gently kissed her forehead. "Let"s do that at home. We have all day later."
"All day? What about work?"
"Ditching. Knowing Hino he still hasn"t calmed down, I would rather hide out for a while."
He didn"t look angry when they parted ways though. When she thought about it, Hino looked almost disappointed. The bond those two share is something special, something she doesn"t understand.
"So you"re choosing to ditch with me?"
"Nice to know you have my back partner in crime."
Sumire laughed. Yuhi is so silly at times. But it is during times like this where there is no distance between them. During these times they are just like normal people. "Do you really not want to kiss me?" Sumire mumbled.
She was dying to kiss him. She wanted nothing more than to have his lips on hers like before. Nothing more than to have his hands all over her, and to have his --
She paused in mid-thought. What crazy things is she thinking about now? To think she would even have such thoughts. For the past seventeen years such thoughts never crossed her mind before but now its all she thinks about.
Yuhi cupped her cheeks. "Well Sumire, I think I know what you"re thinking. But control yourself a bit."
"I don"t think I can, there is something wrong with me."
Even now the way Yuhi caressed her cheeks drove her crazy. She must be making up for the past seventeen years of inexperience. For all that loss time she spent trying to pick up the mess her family left behind.
Yuhi awkwardly lets go of her face and scratches the back of his hair. "If you say it like that even I don"t know what to do."
Uh-oh, did she scare him? Indeed her behaviour isn"t normal. If she wanted to kiss him so badly then why doesn"t she allow him to do it with her? It doesn"t make any sense.
How can she be so obsessed with kissing? If she has that much pa.s.sion and pent up feelings then she ought to let him do it with her. It would be that simple.
