Devils Of Bonten [Tokyo Revengers ff]

20.

I gulped hard trying to remain calm. If he finds out that notebook I will be done for. Why the hell I didn't lock the door? Sakura is right, I am just too reckless and impatient.

He walked at me with a fast pace. Alright Akio time to use your acting skills. I wonder if I have it though.

"You didn't answer me?"

"I was just streching."

His eyes were fixed on the blanket. I knew what he was about to do. Pull that blanket and see what I am hiding. But I can't let him do that.

Think about something.

His hands moved as I quickly spoke.

"Who's Suzy?"

That's all I could come up with. And to my surprise he stopped midway. He looked at me. I quickly broke the eye contact. For some reason I didn't want to keep it.

He sighed and moved away. Thankfully he forgot about the blanket.

"I guess it's about time I should let you know about her."

He leaned against wall.

"Was that her in the hospital? The one who attacked me?"

He nodded.

"Yeah... actually she is daughter of one of our business partners."

Rather smuggling partner.

"...I needed to pursue that deal somehow so I began flirting with her."

I didn't react. I just didn't want to.

"She knew it too I was doing that for a purpose but she played along. That's what I thought...But later on I eventually started liking her."

Rindou closed his eyes. As if he didn't even want to face me while telling his past.

"She too responded to my feelings. I was happy, for the first time...but unfortunately that didn't last long. I found out she was spy, working for her so called father. I didn't get it when I got attacked few times. I didn't get how my enemies got to know my location?..."

"Then?"

"Then...I didn't want to believe it. That she did it. I thought her father might be pressuring her. But that was not the case...she turned out to be just a sly bitch who wanted nothing but money."

"But back in that hospital? Why she came there? She probably still-"

"Oh that? I recently found out her father abandoned her since she's no use to him. Now she wants me? Isn't that sick? Ran didn't put it right. I wasn't the one who trapped her...she was the one who trapped me..."

He paused and open his eyes looked right at me.

"But no matter what I am the one who seems like a villain right?"

I carefully got up. Making sure the notebook remains hidden. I stood up in front of him. I couldn't resist to touch his cheeks. I admired him. I did more that anyone.

"No. You are not a villain. I trust you Rindou... sorry I shouldn't have asked."

His eyes wandered through mine. I kept caressing his face. He didn't seem to stop it. I guess both of us wanted to stop the time. And live this moment forever.

His hand caught my hand which was caressing his face. He held it and kissed it. My heart beats were a bit too fast.

I knew used to cringe at stuffs like these in movies. But now that I am experiencing myself... it's not that bad.
