"After summer, I'm going back to Tokyo for good. I won't be coming back to Okinawa ever again." His smile quickly faded. Once again, his facial expression suddenly shifted from a happy gentle being to a cold stiff doll. Sometimes, it makes me wonder if he's faking his personality around me.
"What are you talking about?" I asked. He sighed and lied down flat on his back staring at the ceiling. "After I turn 18, I'm taking over my dad's business. I'm the eldest child and only son so they expect me to take over." Kenta explained. I frowned at him. "At first, I didn't want to do anything with the company but I mean it's expected of the eldest child, right? Always having to take care of others but...not even having time to take care of them own selves." Kenta mumbled. Kenta turned back to me.
"I-I"m sorry. I don't even know why I've talked so much about myself tonight. I guess it's just because I'm tired." Kenta apologized.
Honestly, I had no words left to say to Kenta, but I knew I had to say something in order for him not to feel like total crap. I mean, he was trying his best but his best..wasn't good enough for him...and I hated seeing him beat himself up for his own accidental, incorrect mistakes.
I placed my hand on Kenta's cheek and planted a soft kiss on him. His cheek felt even warmer as he soon started to give in and kiss me back. I soon realized what we were doing and I pushed him away. I turned to my side of the bed and squeezed my eyes shut. "Good night, Kenta." I said. There was a second of silence. "G-good night, Summer." I could hear Kenta shuffle to his side of his bed.
I can't believe I just did that. I came onto him first! I didn't think he'd actually kiss me back, I only did it for him to stop apologizing- ugh, Summer! Stop making such stupid excuses. Stupid, stupid, STUPID! UGH! But he kissed me back, does that me he possibly likes me? No, there's no way, he's way out of my league. He's devishly cute, just lightly tanned, has a soft Tokyo accent, super super loaded and is just overall such a- SUMMER YOU'RE DOING IT AGAIN! I sighed very loudly in my mind.
I placed my fingers on my lips as I thought about it for the last time that night. Do I...like Kenta?
