Cherry Blossom Abyss

Chapter Twenty One

I slip inside the boarding house bathroom for a quick shower,closing the door behind me.

I turn the water on,resting my hands beneath the water,feeling its temperature.

When it's to my liking,I strip and climb in.

I close my eyes,letting the warmth engulf me.

My hands travel my body,finding my breasts.

"Are....they b-cups now? That's going to be hard to hide...." I wonder aloud.

I sigh,fondling them.

"Using my shower,vi?"

I jump and jerk my head out of the curtain to see akemi raising his brows at me.

"Sounds like you're having a bit of fun there,hmm?" He smiles and I groan.

"Go away,akemi."

He tilts his head.

"Don't be like that,vi. I've seen you naked before. When you were changing in your bedroom."

He pauses.

"Well,only your bare tits and ass."

He shrugs.

Like there was nothing wrong with that.

"Creep." I grumble.

He eases towards my side of the curtain.

"Let me help wash you,vi."

I jerk the curtain to the wall to block him off.

He blinks.

Then narrows his eyes.

He heads to the other side and I close it off,too.

"C-cut it out!!"

It turns quiet.

I peek out the curtain.

He was gone.

Did he...really just leave...?

No,it's akemi we're talking about. He's up to something-

I feel his hands grab my hips from behind and I shriek,snapping my head back at akemi to see him there,clothes soaking in the water.

"You can't hide from me,vi. Give it up."

I try to get away but I slip and fall in the tub,quickly closing my legs to cover my breasts.

"Get out,akemi! I just want to shower in peace!!"

He tilts his head,kneeling and hovering a hand on top of my knee.

"Why are you acting like this,vi? I'm not going to hurt you."

I turn away,not answering and he sighs,letting his hand glide down to my ankle.

"You've been hurt your whole life,haven't you? Bullied....rejected. that's why you've built these walls,right,vi?"

I ignore him and he squeezes my ankle softly.

"I will...break down those walls...I want....to hold you. To have my ring on your finger. I want to see our children laugh and play. I want you....to be able to truly smile again. To be the Vivian I fell in love with."

He meets my eyes.

"You think I'd ever want to hurt you? Your adorable little whines? Your embarrassed face when I tease you?"

He gives a small smile,looking down.

He meets my eyes again.

"It's like I keep falling for you all over again..."
