"EVERYONE GET OUT!"Haru didn"t yell but his cold words pierced through the students hearts. They immediately scrambled trying to reach the door causing chaos in the cla.s.sroom. Saya trying to take advantage of the situation quickly got up, intending to get out with the rest of the cla.s.s. But before she could even take a step out of her chair, Haru pushed her back down.
"Hey! You said for everyone to get out!", she told him angrily, crossing her arms across her chest and pouting her ruby lips.
"Clearly I was talking to everyone but you," Haru said with an amused smirk. He gave a bittersweet smile observing her childish behavior. She hasn"t changed. Still quick to anger and pouting like a child. Saya glared daggers at Haru"s amused smile. She knew he was talking to the others when he said for everyone to get out but she couldn"t help but try her luck.
Ai stood by watching their interactions with one another. Her fingers dug deeply into her palms, almost drawing blood. At first she thought Haru was there to get revenge on Saya. But she noticed that beneath the coldness Haru radiated was a warm glow of delight. It was a warmth that she dream off every night. She wished for that warm gaze to be directed at her. But it never was and never will be. That warmth has always been reserved for Saya.
"Only for Saya". The thought made Ai so angry she almost vomited blood. Her anger and jealousy replaced her fear of Haru and she disobeyed his command to get out.
"Young master Haru. It"s been awhile since you seen Saya. You two must have a lot to talk about. I know your angry with her for leaving you for another man. But I think it"s best to forgive Saya and forget her," Ai said sweetly through gritted teeth, showing no shame.
Saya hissed at Ai not bothering to hide her annoyance. Ai"s words might have sounded like she was on Saya"s side but Saya knew better. She caught how Ai emphasized on the rumor that she left Haru for another man. Saya was about to retort to Ai"s accusations when Haru without even turning his gaze away from Saya spoke coldly and utterly humiliated Ai.
"Get out! Don"t make me repeat myself again. I don"t care if you"re Sakura and Kaito"s cousin, say another word about Saya and I"ll make you regret it!"
Haru"s words were short but this was actually the longest words he"s ever said to Ai and it was to threaten her over Saya. Ai"s fingers dug even deeper into her palms, finally drawing blood. She was so angry she was seeing red. She wanted to yank Saya"s hair out and destroy her for good. But all she could do was keep her mouth shut and walk away shakily. Ai knew Haru meant every word. Not expecting Haru to defend her, Saya remained quiet, watching Ai walk out the cla.s.sroom.
Finally alone in the room, Saya awkwardly turn her head to the side not knowing where to look. She imagine from time to time how her meeting with Haru would be like. She imagine herself composed with an air of coolness like she couldn"t care less about them seeing each other again. She imagine Haru being angry and demanding answers, while she would stay calm, quickly explaining the circ.u.mstances. She imagine them saying goodbye for good and finally moving on.
However the reality was far different from what she imagined. She wasn"t calm like she thought she would be. She was nervous and fidgeting, tapping her foot endlessly. The words she prepared and wanted to say were stuck in her throat. Worse of all her heart was shaking with memories and emotions she thought were long buried and forgotten. The love she thought she buried deep down and the pain she thought time had healed were slowly rising from her chest. She didn"t know what to do but was still determine to face this moment head on.
"Haru," Saya said softly, turning to face him. Haru"s legs almost buckled when he heard his name from her ruby red lips. Saya"s hypnotic eyes were staring at him widely and he couldn"t help but knelt before her as if a spell was cast on him.
"Saya," he murmured roughly, grabbing her delicate face into his hands, crashing his lips onto her unsuspecting ones. Saya gave a small gasp, opening her mouth slightly in shock at the sudden kiss. Haru took this opportunity to slip his tongue inside her mouth, probing deeply. His hands moved to her shoulders gripping her tightly as she tried to struggled out of his embrace. Haru moved his tongue against hers, his hunger evident. Coaxing her, he slightly nibbled on her lower lips, making Saya tremble. Saya couldn"t help but kiss him back as her body remembered his warmth and desire sprung from her body in waves. She was never pa.s.sive when it came to their intimacy. Fighting for control she suck on his tongue, bringing her arms around his head to deepen the kiss. Feeling her arms around him and her sweet tongue fighting for dominance, Haru couldn"t help but grunt in pleasure and approval. By the time the kiss ended they were both panting with their lips slightly swollen.
"s.h.i.t! Haru! Why"d you kissed me?!", Saya said angrily, her sanity finally coming back to her. She pushed him slightly and started pacing back and forth, her mind and heart racing.
"Oh no no no no no! What are you doing? Why didn"t you push him away sooner? Why"d you even let him kiss you in the first place."
Haru calmly watched Saya pace back and forth, letting his desire for her simmer down. All it took was a single kiss for all his anger to melt away. Two years of frustration, confusion, and resentment washed away in that kissed they shared. He felt her emotions coursing through him settling the anger in his heart. She still cared for him, loved him. That hasn"t changed, so why did she leave him? He was aching to know.
