Married To A Gangster

SIXTY FIVE

I stood still watching them bury my fathers body besides my mother grave, just how it should be. I looked away, staring down at the ground watching my tears drop to the grass. It was a gloomy day, sobs and angry shouts breaking through the funeral.

The people were angry, angry to lose a leader hoping to seek revenge, 'justice' for my father. But it didn't really matter to me, I knew I wouldn't have my father in my life for ever, I knew one day god would call him back but I didn't think it'd be so soon, I lost my mother at five, now I lose my father at 18, soon to be 19.

I sighed walking away from the crowd that continued to blame Enji for his death, even though I knew he killed him I didn't want to be apart of their plans. I just wanted to be alone, on my own...yet at the same time I hated being alone...

After my fathers death, I've been hiding. Keeping myself distant, I haven't spoken to anyone, haven't felt the guts to speak to anyone. I pulled my knees close to my chest, zoning out until my ears heard a meow. I looked at bean who stood in front of my fathers bedroom, meowing at the door as it scratched the closed door.

Tears filled my eyes as I walked over to him, scooping him up and kissing his fur. "I know, I miss him too..." I mumbled placing a kiss onto his white fur. Just as I was about to leave to my room a knock on the door stopped me. I stayed still looking at the door debating if I should answer or not.

I didn't know who it was, I wasn't expecting anyone to drop by. I looked down at bean that stayed still in my arms purring quietly. I walked over to the door and unlocked the locks, sliding the chain off the door before slowly opening it up.

My eyes peeled through the small crack seeing Touya stand in front of the door. I opened up the rest and looked up at him without saying a word yet we still spoke through our eyes, understanding each other by just staring deeply. He smiled and looked down at bean, brushing his hand over its head and under his chin.

"How are you?" He asked as he walked in "fine I guess" "sure about that?" I nodded and sat by his side, laying my head against his chest as he threw an arm over my shoulders rubbing my back smoothly. We stayed like that for a while, just being in each other's presence as my tears streamed down my cheeks.

He wiped them away, brushing his finger across my freckled face "I'm sorry...that should've never happened, it's my fault I-" "it's not your fault Touya, They've been at each other's throats for years....they've been trying to kill each other since they were in high school" I mumbled thinking back to the story my father told me about the time him and Enji had become enemies.

They were best friends, surprisingly and things just took a turn when they joined different gangs, when they loved the same woman and only one of them got away with her... Touya looked down at me with his pretty eyes, smiling at me as he continued to run his fingers through my hair.

I slowly moved, getting up close to him and cupping his face into my hands slowly leaning in to kiss him. His hand hugged my waist as he kissed me smoothly allowing me to forget the depressing emotions I had for the past week. His company made me feel better, and his touch made me warm.

We pulled away and just held each other in our arms. My head resting against his chest in silence hearing nothing but his heart beat. Bean had came up to us, jumping up on the couch and curling up next to us.

"You know, why don't we head somewhere? It's been a while since you've been out" Touya said while looking at me "I don't know...I don't want to leave my home.." I mumbled back softly "you can't always keep yourself in, come on Princess I'll treat you tonight" he replied with a smile as he helped me up.

"Fine, just for a while though my legs don't feel their best, I stopped showing up to the classes and I haven't tried walking anymore"
"Really? Then would you like to take your wheelchair?" I shook my head and he sighed "why? Wont you need it?" .  "Well...I don't know. It's too embarrassing..."
"Embarrassing?"

"Yeah, I mean aren't you embarrassed to be seen with me like that? You have to be helping me, pushing me around don't you get annoyed?"  "No? Why would I? I know what you have, the difficulties you're facing there's no reason for me to be embarrassed or annoyed" he said with a chuckle.

"Come on princess, you have a pretty smile so why don't you start showing it more?" I smiled up at him with a giggle as he pointed it out "there you go, see? Let's go, I have a place in mind to take you to"
