Maxine's POV
I haven't got a call from Yamato ever since that day.
I should call him.
*Ring ring*
He's not answering...
Maybe he's busy. I'll just call later.
*Knock knock*
I opened the door and,
"How are you and your mom?"
"Even after what happened, you still had the guts to come here?"
"Anything for you HAHAHA"
He gave me flowers
"Carnation! My favorite!"
He smirked.
"I also bought you food. Have you eaten?"
"Nope."
"Let's eat then."
We both sat down to eat.
"What did your mom tell you?"
"Ummm she just scolded me hehe."
I didn't have the guts to tell him.
"Really? I can see that you're lying."
Shit...
"Tell me, Max. I'll listen."
"I-I told you, it's n-nothing...!"
"Stop lying to me sweetheart. You know I hate lies."
He smiled at me
I took a deep breath.
"I'm leaving this country."
He choked on his food.
"Happy now?"
I gave him water.
"Why would you leave?"
"Why should I tell you? You didn't even tell me about your father."
"H-huh?"
"Hm? Why did you hide it from me in the first place?"
"Hide what?"
"He's a mafia boss, right?"
"Yea"
"Why didn't you tell me? I told you everything about my parents."
"You didn't tell me that your mom is a prostitute."
"I didn't know too"
"Sure..."
"I'm serious..."
"Ok ok, I'm sorry."
"So... why didn't you tell me?"
"I was afraid that you would leave me after knowing about it."
"Do I look like child to you?"
"Yes"
I rolled my eyes.
"Ok, but from now on, we'll tell each other everything."
"From now on? Didn't you hear what I said? We will leave"
"We can text each other."
"The reason why we'll be leaving is you"
"Why...?"
I told him everything that my mom told me.
"H-he did?"
"You don't know?"
"Of course not."
I sighed.
"So, what'll happen to us now? No more hope for us?"
I nodded
"I can't let that happen. I will talk to my dad."
"Bitch don't! Do you want me to die?"
"Of course not!"
"Then just stay silent"
"So, we'll just let go of each other?"
"We have no choice"
He looked down
Gosh he looks like a puppy
"Don't worry, we'll sort this out"
"Can I ask you a favor?"
~~~~~~Hope for us~~~~~~~
Maxine's POV
"Can I ask you a favor?"
"What is it?"
"If you leave this country, can we send letters to each other?"
"Gosh Yamato, of course we will"
"Thanks..."
I realized that he still looked sad.
"Don't worry babe, love finds a way."
"Babe? Did you really call me that?"
"Hm? I think you misheard it"
I teased him
"Hey, say it again"
"What do you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean."
"Don't worry, love finds a way?"
"You forgot one word"
"What is it?"
"C'mon... Stop playing with me."
I laughed
"Fine... Babe~~~"
"Wait I didn't hear you. Louder"
"Babe..."
"I can't hear you"
"Shut up"
He laughed
We both continued eating
"What if we're not really meant for each other..."
"Max, what are you saying? We've been together for 10 years. We find ways to solve our problems together."
"Can this problem be solved too?"
"You just said it earlier. Love finds a way."
"What if you find another person"
"Don't you have trust on me? I won't do that"
"Promise?"
"I promise"
We did the pink promise and he kissed my forehead.
"Now finish your food"
He patted my head
"Can you come to the airport before we leave? You know... Last goodbye..."
"Sure... when will you leave anyway?"
"Friday"
"Wait I have classes."
"Shit... Skip it then"
"I value my grades a lot"
"Then don't come"
I pouted
"Fine..."
"YAAAS"
