Childhood Love

Chapter 12

Aki POV

After the Cross, school ended earlier. We went to celebrate in a restaurant owned by Rika's mother.

"Cheers!!!" we all shouted, raising our glasses."Congratulation to Aki and Edgar for winning the Cross."

I was really happy, but my mind was else where. 'Where did Kazuya go? He was here not long before announcing the winners. Anyway, it's not my business.'

We enjoyed the party and each time when we were out of food, Rika's mother will bring more. Time passed and it was already nine o'clock. There isn't school tomorrow so it was fine but I was soon sleepy and tired. "Continue without me. I'm heading home." I said getting up.

"I'm coming with you." said Edgar.

"I'll be fine. You can..."

"I won't let a girl walking at night alone." he cut me off.

"Ooohhhhh!!!" shouted everyone. *whistle* I blushed. "You two should date." I blushed even more. Seeing me uncomfortable, Edgar pulled me outside."We are heading home." he said before shutting the door. We could heard them whistle and shouting. "Don't mind them." he said as we were walking silently.

"But aren't we going on one on Saturday?" I asked. "A date."

He looked at me a bit surprised."Yes. It's strange to hear that from you."

My face was now really red. "I...I'm just..." I tried to say something but nothing came to my mind.

"I get it. You don't have to force yourself. Just be like always." he told me.

"O...Ok..."

We walked the rest of the road in silence. "We're home." said Edgar as we went inside the house but no one answered. "Kira? Are you here?" We went to the kitchen and saw a piece of paper 'I will be home late tonight so no need to wait for me. There's food in the fridge if you're hungry. Kira.'

"You hungry?" he asked after reading the piece of paper. "Kira will come home late tonight."

"I'll take a shower first. Could you heat mine too?" I said going upstairs.

"Ok."

Days flew in a second and it was already Saturday. Kira was always going out and I haven't seen Kazuya since the Cross. I was getting dress for my date with Edgar when my phone rang. "Hel..."

'Hello!! It's finally your date with Edgar!!' shouted Rika at the other end of the line cutting me off. 'So what are you going to wear??'

"It's as if you're the one going on the date." I said. "You're more excited than I am."

'Ohh. Sorry. It's the emotion. I still don't believe that you are going out with 'The Prince' and that he was the one who asked you out!!' she said all excited. 'You have to tell me about all it with the details.'

"Fine I got it. Well I need to go. Will talk later." I said before hanging up. I went out of my room and saw a paper sticked on the door. 'Sorry. Something came up and I had to go. Wait for me at the station at eleven. Edgar.' I glanced at the clock. It was only thirty past nine, still one and a half hour left. Just as I was closing the door,Kazuya came out from his room. He looked at me and went downstairs. "Where were you this whole week?" I asked him as we sat at the table. He didn't answer. "You..." I was cut off by Kira.

"Here's your breakfast." she said.

"Thanks." we said and start eating.

"Where were you this whole week??" I asked Kazuya again. "After..." I was cut off by Kira again.

"Aki! You are going out?" she asked."You are so well dressed."

"Yeah. I'm going on a date with Edgar."

"A date with Edgar?!" she exclaimed surprised. She looked at Kazuya then at me again. "Waouh. That's great. Have a good time together."

"Thanks. I'll be going then." I said getting up and went out.

Kazuya POV

"Are you fine with it?" asked Kira when Aki got out of the house.

"What do yoy mean?"

"You like her, don't you?"

I looked at her."No, I don't."
