WALLFLOWER REUNITED

chapter 4

By: K'onix

She couldn't believe it was happening. Really, she couldn't.
Noi woke up that morning to complete and total silence (with the exception of her husbands light breathing.).

She smiled to herself as she curled closer her husband. He whispered something before throwing his arm around her and pulling her closer to him.

So this is what life could have been like without those two kids?

Bliss...

Suna was pretty sure she was going to be sick. She could feel the breakfast that she had yet to actually eat already coming up from her unsettled stomached.
As much as this Rachel chick looks like Sunako, she thought disgustingly, she does not act like her. Because there is no way that Sunako would smile like that while feeding someone. She wouldn't be caught dead feeding someone in the first place!

What is wrong with you, Kyohei?

"So, Suna, what do you think?" Rachel asked her, smiling sweetly.

Suna looked at her for a second. She was talking her? "Excuse me?" she ask politly.

"About shopping," Rachel repeated, "later today. I could show you the way to the mall, we could go to the spa. You know, a little bonding,"

Suna's eyes widened at the thought of having to spend time alone with the women. She turned her gaze to Kyohei, looking at him as a savior. Please, she begged him silently.

He apparently didn't get the message. "I think that it would be a great idea." he said, "I've got stuff to do today, anyway."

"Like what?" Suna demanded. There was no way he was getting out of this without a pretty great excuse.

"Like my job." he answered firmly, "It's a perfect day, the beach will be beautiful."

"Yeah, and full of tourist," she grounded out, "you wouldn't want them in your shot, would you?"

"Well, actually, sometimes a family or a couple on a beach will make a photograph more life like. Like I said, it's a perfect day." Kyohei shrugged.

Suna stared at him. He was right; sometimes his pictures did come out better when he had people in them.

"I want to come with you, though," Suna wined. Hey, it could be fun hanging out at the beach with someone taking pictures.

Kyohei looked at her sympathetically. He knew what she was trying. It was the same thing he would have tried in her position if just plain 'no' hadn't worked. Which it rarely ever not worked. After all, who would dare to disagree with him?

"Rachel," Kyohei started but was interrupted by his girlfriend.

"It's perfectly okay, Kyohei." Rachel smiled, "She did just get here, after all. I shouldn't be trying to take her away from you so soon. Maybe later, though."

"Thanks, Rachel," Kyohei replied. He loved how she was so understanding about things.

Suna looked at the two sitting across from her. She didn't like it! It wasn't right. "Yeah, thanks," she grumbled out, crossing her arms over her chest.

It fit, she knew it did. From the stories she heard from her parents and others who knew Kyohei, you would never think that he'd turn out to be something as mellow as a photographer. But it somehow fit him.
He said that it all started when he got tired of waking up to the same walls everyday. He wanted change, something to be different. While he was contemplating this, he somehow ended up by the ocean. He knew he always loved the ocean, it just had a vibe about it that made him calm; it made him able to think clearly; it made him feel really, really small. He loved that feeling.
