Chapter 18

Confession

KAT'S POV.

Everyone was at the celebration. The team, Jade, Cloe, Itsuki, everyone, well except for my uncle of course. It was held at my house. There was food, drinks, music, we were all having a great time. We won the championship, baseball season was over. We had time to relax. I'm sure everyone was relived-no, grateful for the chance to wind down for a while.

"Hey Kat, thanks for the party." said Ideguchi coming up to me.

I smiled sweetly.

"No problem. You guys deserve it."

"But we wouldn't have won if it weren't for you and Toua. If you hadn't come then we might not have won. So, Kat, thanks."

"No problem. But if my uncle hadn't set this all up, it might not have ended up with me coming. So I guess we sort of owe him thanks. In a way he helped us win." I said laughing.

"Yeah." he agreed.

"Hey Kat! Over here!" I heard Jade call to me. She was standing with Cloe by the punch bowl.

"I have to…" I trailed off.

"Yeah. I get it."

I walked over to Jade and Cloe.

"Hey, great party, Kat." Cloe complimented.

"Yeah, everyone's having a great time." Jade agreed.

"Thanks. I'm so glad we won."

"Everyone is, where have you been?" Jade asked jokingly.

"So, how have things been between you and Toua been going?" asked Cloe.

"I still haven't told him how I feel. I plan to after the party, after everyone leaves."

"Well good luck. Everyone can see how you two look at each other when you think no one's looking." Jade said slyly.

I blushed lightly.

"Thanks for that girls." I said sarcastically.

They laughed and went back to having a good time. I even sang for a little bit. They all loved my voice. By the third song, Jade had joined me. Everyone loved us singing together and apart. We did make a great music team. We sang two more songs before we just played some of the other music and talked amongst ourselves. We ate, drank, exchanged the times of everyday life. The usual things. It was, well…nice.

After some time it was time for the others to leave. All of them saying how they loved the party.

"Bye you guys, thanks for coming." I called out, as the last of the guests left.

I closed the door and leaned against it. That party wiped me out. I saw Toua sitting on the couch. And I was glad that he followed my 'no smoking in the house' rule.

"It was alright." he said nonchalantly.

"Jerk." I said playfully, smirking.

I went and sat next to him on the opposite side of the couch. I breathed in and let out a huge sigh.

"Whew, that was some party. I am so beat…I need ice cream." I said.

"You and your ice cream addiction. You are something else." he said, smirking at me.

"Just because I have craving for ice cream at different times, even if it is at one in the morning, does not mean it's an addiction." I said, placing a hand on my hip.

"You, Toua, are the one with an addiction. You smoke everywhere you go!" I said smirking.

"I don't smoke here." he countered.

"Outside on my porch is still smoking here at my house." I stated.

He shut up after that, and I smiled triumphantly. I headed over to the freezer and pulled out my tub of chocolate revel ice cream. I closed the freezer door. But then went to my room and put on my pajamas. And then went back to the living and started to eat again where I left off from last time.

As I ate I noted that it was way to quiet. So I quickly finished my ice cream, and spoke to Toua. It was now or never anyways…

"Hey Toua?" I asked.

He looked at me, or rather, glanced at me.

"Look we have to talk." I said, and it was said timidly.

"You're kicking me out." he said simply.

"No, no, no. I mean we need to talk about you and me."

"What about you and me, then?"

"Well there really isn't an easy thing to say…"

"Will you just say it already?" he said in a bored tone.

That jerk…but that's one of the reasons why I love him.

"Well since I can't say it. I'm going to use the other way to get through what I'm saying." I said.

"And what would that be-" he said as I cut him off.

But with my lips.

He actually seemed surprised for the first time in the two years that I had known him, as I slid my arms round his neck and pulled him closer. He got over the shock and began to mold his lips to mine. I let out a slightly startled gasp.

'he's kissing me back!' I thought to myself.

I felt his hands begin to go up and down my sides. It sent shivers down my spine. But in a good way. And I didn't realize it, but I ended up in his lap.

After about a minute the lack of air became a problem. We both pulled away, slightly panting. Then I spoke.

"So, I'm guessing you love me too?" I asked breathlessly.

"If that kiss didn't get the message through, then you are stupid. So what do you think?" he asked.

I simply giggled. I was so happy. He loved me back. Even if he was an asshole.

"So I take it that you wont be moving out?"

"What do you think?" he said, smirking.

"And that you are going to start sharing a room with me?"

"Obviously." he said, rolling his eyes.

"And that-" I continued, but he cut me off.

"Whatever you're thinking, you probably know the answer." he said.

I giggled, then yawned.

"Well, I'm tired. You coming to bed with me?" I asked standing up.

"Define coming to bed with you." he said.

I rolled my eyes playfully.

"I mean let's go to sleep now, you pervert." I said, hitting his arm in a kidding matter.

"Alright lets go." he said, standing up and walking with me.

We walked up the stairs, him behind me. I opened the door to my room. Or rather our room now, and turned on the light. I got under the covers and turned on the side lamp on my bed side table on the right side of the bed. Since he went to his now old room to get his night clothes, I just waited for him to come into the room. While I waited I pulled out a book and started to read. Ten minutes later he came into the room.

"Hey, turn off the light for me?" I asked.

He nodded. Then flipped the switch. Then the only light left on was the lamp. I closed my book and looked at him as he got in the bed.

And before I dosed off I whispered,

"I love you."

"…I love you too. Now go to sleep you baka." he said, smirking.

"Night Toua." I said, snuggling into him.

"…Night Kat, you baka."

And with that we both let sleep take over us. I was sure that once everyone found out, it would mean a lot of drama with the press and our teammates/friends. Not to mention the hassle that would no doubt come from my uncle, but it would be okay and worth it. I started to dream about the life Toua and I could have together and I had to smile. Who would have though that baseball and love would mix so well? All the parts fell into place. No we were all tighter than stitching, and that had only happened because of the events this past season. It just all happened, and I liked it that way…
