Joe

So me and Langa finally thought of something, which wasn't easy but it's been done.

Reki: Why are you here Joe

Joe: I want to talk to Kaoru

Reki: I don't think he wants to talk to you right now

Joe: I got us reservations at a restaurant down the street. The one with the big green and blue sign. I'll be there for the next hour. If you don't show up I'll leave then I don't know what's happen. Did you hear that Kaoru

Cherry: Yes

Joe: I hope to see you there

I leave and I head to the restaurant. I'm waiting in a private room now. I've got to wait for Kaoru to arrive.

Twenty minutes past he's not here yet. He's probably still thinking about it

Another twenty minutes pass and he's not here. He's still thinking

It's been an hour since he's not coming. I should go. Why did I have to say that Joe because of that he may never forgive Mr.

Cherry: I'm here

Joe: Kaoru?

Then Kaoru appears. He's late but he's here.

Cherry: Yes?

Joe: Sit

Joe: Kaoru I'm sorry about what I said. I didn't mean a single word I said. I was mad at myself for not being able to stop you from being hurt, and I was upset because I didn't know what was hurting you so I could stop it. And I know it not the best time to say this but the reason I did all this is because I love you Kaoru

Kaoru stands up and heads towards the door

Joe: Kaoru please don't leave

I grab his hand to stop him, and the next thing I know he turns around and kisses me. From all the kisses I've had I can say 100% this was the best kiss I've ever had. With the hand that once was on his wrist cupping his cheek. He pulls apart

Cherry: I forgive you

I hugged him. All I wanted to hear was that he forgive me. I could live without him liking me, but hi hating me. Now that's something that I can't live with

Joe: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Cherry: Don't thank me yet we still have a lot to talk about.

Joe: Yes. Can I ask a question

Cherry: Sure

Joe: What was the first time we met? I think we remember that differently

Cherry: In kindergarten we became friends after I took you to the nurse. Then I moved and when I came back you didn't recognize me.

Joe: YOU'RE THAT GIRL FROM WHEN I WAS IN KINDERGARTEN

Cherry: GIRL?

Joe: I THOUGHT YOU WERE A GIRL

Cherry: Just because I had long hair?

Joe: Yes. When you came back was your hair shorter

Cherry: Yes my mom made me cut it

Joe: That's why I didn't recognize you

Cherry: Just because my hair

Joe: Wanna know something funny

Cherry: What?

Joe: I liked you even back then.

Cherry: You what?

Joe: I had a crush on that "girl" that I guess is you. I always dreamed she'd come back

Cherry: You knew my name back them how come you didn't know it was me

Joe: I was young I never knew your full name I just called you Sakura because your hair color

Cherry: You're an idiot

Joe: An idiot that hasn't forgotten that you haven't said it.

Cherry: Said what?

Joe: You know what I mean

Cherry: Kojiro

Joe: Yes

Cherry: I love you

I lean in and kiss Kaoru

Joe: What about we get out of here

Cherry: Sure

Joe: Let's go then
