I arrived 10 minutes early and he was busy seeing another client and was out, so I had to wait.A minute before my appointment, he arrived.
I heard a car pull up and a few seconds later I heard, "Am I late?"
When I looked at the figure that stepped into Yos.h.i.+no"s office, his smile was frozen.
I looked carefully at this person and realized it was Yos.h.i.+no.
He was still handsome.
I stood up and he walked closer.
Before I could speak, he rushed up to me and embraced me.
He hugged me so tightly, I wanted to pull away but my body went numb.
We stayed like this for a while, until I felt something cold drip down my neck.
I tried to pull away but he wouldn"t let me.
He squeezed me tighter and this time I hugged him back.
Another while later, he slowly let go of me and when I looked at him, his cheeks were deep pink in colour and his eyes were red.
I placed my hands on his cheeks and the tears started falling from my eyes.
He wiped my tears away and placed his forehead against mine and said: "You"re finally here."
Grabbed me gently by my neck, pulled me closer and kissed me.
I couldn"t believe this.
I don"t know what to do.
We stopped kissing and he continued to hug me.
-----
Being in his arms felt so right and I didn"t feel guilty at all.
The warmth. It felt like I belonged in his arms, this was my place.
Yos.h.i.+no still smelt the same, I wonder if he is wearing the cologne I bought him back then?
I missed this.
I missed him.
I started crying, all the pain from over the years flooded out and I started balling my eyes out.
I don"t know why but for some reason I just woke up.
