" I tried avoiding you.....but....", she spoke in between the kisses, "I couldn't... I like you Yuzu... a lot", she pecked my lips and my lips curved into a smile.

"I love you." I whispered in her ear. We cuddled all night and I was thinking of taking her to a date.

The next day, I gently caressed her cheeks to see her eyes open.

"Good morning Yuzu," she tingled my lips.

"morning sweetheart...." I kissed her again and I saw a shadow on her when I called her sweetheart.

"I have cooked breakfast." Get ready and come down...", I gave her a quick peck and went downstairs. Within minutes she arrived and we finished our breakfast and is en route to school.

When I got out of the car, I caught her wrist and she turned to me. I don't know if she wants to be open about our relationship, but right now, I can't find anybody in the parking garage.

"Mei... I want to take you to a meeting today... be ready by 7:00," I kissed her and I left.

Haru has been helping me to find the dress... After a hour, I found out something to wear and grabbed the flowers which I got for Mei and went towards her door.

Before I was about to knock, the door was open to see my lovely girl's outfit with elegance. I gave her the flowers and took her by the hand to walk towards the car. I opened the passenger door for her and closed it.

"Where are we going?" she wondered.

"You'll see..." she stayed silent the entire way.

I took her to the lake where we used to spend most of our time. I couldn't find another better place to spend. I've arranged the picnic before with all the food items she would love.

We talked for a moment and we dined and she put her head on my lap and went to bed. I began to caress her head.

"Yuzu...." She called me and I hummed as an answer.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?" she asked without any emotions, and I was shocked.

"What?"

"I'm not going to say it again." It's awkward," she tried to hide her head in my lap. I leaned over to kiss her and I said, "I want to be your girlfriend".

********Flashback ends********

I got disturbed from my sleep by a call and I answered without seeing it.

"Yuzu..." I know the person. It is her brother. He kept saying, "Mei knows". I feel confused now.

"What does she know?" I inquired.

"that we're not married", it felt like my head was starting to hurt. I had peace of mind and also a certain fear. Will she get back to me?
