Afraid to Let You Go

Chapter 6: Doubts.

We sat in my bed, looking at the moon through my broken windows. I leaned to him and he put his arms around my shoulder. We're in silence, but I know my feelings reached him. That I was happy for his company, that I feel relieved knowing he's near. I loved him. I fall for him so fast but what can I do? He totally swept me of my feet.

I smiled happily for the first time, a genuine smile...not the fake smiles I gave out so I could reassure my family and friends that I was alright. I snuggled closer to him and closed my eyes, silently loving his scent all over me. Then suddenly a phone rang. "That was mine," he said and picked it from his pocket. He flipped it open and said, "Hello."

"Don't hello me, you moron! Where in hell are you? It's already 10 o'clock in the evening!"

"Ahh, Hikaru! I'm sorry. I forgot about the time. Well, I'll meet you all in a minute," He said before hanging it up. I giggled and uttered, "You probably should go now Kaoru-kun." He grinned and nodded. Then he looked at me and took a picture. "Will you give me your cell phone number?" He asked. I nodded and gave it to him. Then I reached for my bedside table, got my cell phone and took a picture of him too. I asked for his number and he happily gave it to me.

"I'm going now," he said and stood up. It was so sudden that I felt my hands shot up and held the bottom of his shirt. He looked at me, surprised. "I—I'm going to walk you outside," I managed to stammer. He smiled and patted my head. He took my hand that was clinging to his shirt and pulled me up. "Then let's go," he muttered to me.

We exited my room, holding hands. I leaned to him for support all the way, I'm probably heavy but I don't care. I wanted to be near him. "We're here," he murmured. I looked up and saw that we're in the front gate already. We trudged our way towards the guards and they're eyes widened when they saw us.

"Young mistress!" the guards approached us, glaring at Kaoru along the way. "Are you alright?" they asked me worriedly, "Did he do anything to hurt you?" They all pointed to Kaoru-kun. I shook my head and smiled, "No! I'm alright."

I looked at Kaoru-kun and he was grinning widely. I felt my cheeks turned red. He's really adorable and handsome. "I'm going now," he said.

"Oh yeah, sorry I spaced out," I said then turned towards the guards, "Please see him off the gates." They bowed and uttered, "Yes, young mistress."

Kaoru-kun detached himself from me. He smiled and said, "Good bye. See you tomorrow." I nodded and waved at him. He was nearing the gates when he suddenly spun around and ran towards me. He rushed to me with a hug and together we fell down in the ground. "K-Kaoru-kun," I stuttered, "Why did you come back?"

He held me and I found myself kneeling in between his legs as he sat up. "I forgot something," he muttered. I smiled and said, "Is it in my room? Don't worry! I'll give it back to you tomorrow."

"No, it's something far more important," he said. "What is it—" my words were cut by his lips on mine. He gently stroked my lips and I responded back. The kiss was breathtaking. Actually, I kind of forgot to breath.

"I—I love you," He murmured. I smiled to him and replied, "I love you too." Then we stood up, with him helping me. We stared at the guards and they were gaping at us like a fish. I chuckled. He gave me a chaste kiss in the lips before disappearing in the gates. I closed my eyes and clasped my hands together.

For the first time in my life, I wanted a miracle to happen. I was hoping that I could lengthen my life and be with Kaoru-kun for as long as I live.

Afraid to Let You Go

I told my mother that I decided to go back to Ouran. She looked so happy. And I told her about Kaoru-kun too. She looked troubled at first then she cried. I cried along her as well. Then she told me that I should be happy and she supported us from the bottom of her heart.

Well now, I'm preparing to go to school when my cell phone rang. I picked it up and saw the caller I.D. was Kaoru-kun.

"Hello," I murmured shyly.

"You're coming to school, right?"

I chuckled and said, "Don't worry. I'm coming to school today."

"I'm relieved. Then I'll see you later, ok? I'll be waiting outside the gates."

"You don't need to," I gasped. "I don't want to bring trouble for you."

"I insist. And besides we're going out so it's not a big deal."

"Alright," I smiled, "Then I'll see you later."

"Yeah, bye. Love you."

He hung up before I could even reply. I think he's embarrassed. Oh, well, me too. I could feel my cheeks burning up right now. Kaoru-kun is really sweet.

Afraid to Let You Go

I saw him standing in the gates, looking so adorable and sweet. The air seemed to help him look more gorgeous that usual. I could feel that my cheeks turned red. I exited my limousine and was about to approached him when I felt someone whisper in my ears.

"I thought I told you to stay away from Kaoru-sama because you're just going to hurt him."

I looked up and turned around. I saw several students, walking casually. "Tsukino!" I heard Kaoru-kun shouting my name. I froze. He called me by my first name. I was completely caught off guard.

"You call me by my first name!" I shouted when I turned around to meet him. I think my face is redder than tomato now.

"Of course," he smiled, "We're going out after all." I smiled at him then I remembered the words I heard a while ago. I'm just going to hurt him if I stayed close. But still, it wouldn't hurt if I became selfish just a little bit, right? I don't want to be apart from him.

"Let's go," he said, holding my hands and dragging me inside the school. For now, this should be alright. Staying beside him and doing things together happily.
