Getting about 09:00 PM, I felt how a hand was pushing me gently in my shoulder. I tried to wake up for a few seconds until I could. It was Rydel, who was smiling at me and whispering told me:

-"Mika is getting late and you haven't had dinner"- I immediately woke up and looked around, Ross was gone and everybody was in the kitchen. --" I'm sorry, I fell asleep"-- I say rubbing my eyes. I did my best to try to walk alone but I couldn't so Rydel helped me to reach the next room. When we got there, Stormie was cooking some dinner for me.

I sat between Ryland and Ross, both smiled at me. -" I apologize to all of you. I'm so sorry guys, it wasn't my intention to fell asleep..."- I tried to explain unfinishing the sentence, when a hand tapped my shoulder then I glanced up and saw Mark smiling. "Relax Mika, don't worry"- He says. Riker included himself to the talk -"You're not an annoyance in this house, so don’t worry that much"- I looked down and played with my fingers. Stormie gave me some Mac -n cheese (♥) and she stroked my head saying -"We love to have you here, honey” I smiled at her when Ryland said -"Really, all of us"- handing me a glass of lemonade. I couldn't help it; I just wanted to hug them all. I guess Stormie noticed that and she hugged me first. That was one of the best hugs of my entire life!

-"You're always welcome in this house, Mika"- Mark says smiling at me again. I've got to say that the Lynch family has a stunning smile. "We love when Mika is around, she only have good vibes"- Riker says drinking while Rocky says "It's simple like this, we love you" making a heart with his fingers. "Yeah, especially Ross and Rocky "- Rydel comment.  Rocky, Ross and I stared at her, I felt a bit ashamed because of that, I mean, my new best friend is next to me and my crush is in front of me.  Ross spat a bit of lemonade, I guess for the impression, so I took a napkin and I tried to wipe his mouth but the situation wasn't the best so he took the napkin and did it himself.

Rocky stared at me with a really serious look; I looked away and ate my dinner. After a few minutes I started getting worried because of my family, my aunt and uncle hadn´t arrived. I called them and they told me that they wanted to talk to Stormie. I gave her my phone and she started nodding and smiling saying that everything was ok. 

"Is everything ok?"- I ask a bit worried. Stormie gave my phone back and said "Everything is ok sweet heart, your aunt said that they had to stay out tonight and she asked me to let you stay here" I was stunned; it was like my first sleepover but... with guys. Everyone in the house started working to make me a place to sleep while I changed my bandage, my knee still hurts. I took the diary from my bag; I went to the pool and started writing everything cool and not so cool that happened that day. Ross appeared and sat next to me. "How's it going?"- He asked. I closed my diary and smiled at him. "Nah! Just writing down stuff" - I explain. “You write everything that happens?" Ross asks looking at my diary. "Not everything, only really important stuff, like school, things that I see and... mostly you and your siblings" -I say smiling. "What do you usually write about me?" Ross asks curious touching my diary. "Hum! I won't let you read my diary but I can read you something" I say opening my diary and trying to choose a sentence. "Ah! I've got one, is one about the day we met here in your house... Do not laugh ok?" He looked at me like a hungry puppy.

" Ok here I go...~After meeting this blonde guy in the airport and in his own house I know it that is not gonna be easy be a part of him...~" Ross laughs a bit. I continued. "~He seems to be a good guy and his family is really kind too, his brother Rocky was really sweet to me~...Uh, I'd like to skip this sentence, may I?” I say blushing. "No you can't, now read slave" He says whipping me with my own hair. I clear the throat and nervously I continue "~ was really sweet to me besides his smile is amazing and he has~...PLEASE ROSS I DON'T WANNA SAY IT IS JUST...TOO EMBARRASSING “I beg him being really girly. “Read it Mika; c’mon remember that now we’re best friends! Between us everything is a secret, I won’t tell anybody and I promise not to laugh!” Ross says pulling my hoodie like a little kid. “Uff… you’re incorrigible ~ besides his smile is amazing and he has …as… as his brother Ross… a… a … nice butt~” I finished the sentence and covered my face with my book lying down on the floor. Looking up I took my book of my face and I saw Ross containing his laugh…he couldn’t “HAHAHAHA WHY… HAHAHAH WHY DO YOU WRITE STUFF LIKE THAT!?” He laughs really hard almost crying. “BAKA!! I mean… You Idiot! You said you won’t laugh” I say throwing him my diary. Ross fell to the floor because of the laugh, no lie I think he laughed for about 5 minutes. When he finished, he came near me and said: “You’re a perv, you know” He says as he puts his arms down his head. “Maybe, but I regret nothing, I like you” I say doing the same with my arms. “What?” He asked impressed. “I like you; I mean you’re kind, funny, cool and good looking… I’m glad that I’ve met you. Also that you think I’m your friend, that makes me really happy” I say looking at him. He stared at me with his brown and bright eyes. “I like you too, you’re so nice and strange… you also smell good” –Ross says smiling. “And I am the perv? Do not smell me!” I joke. We saw at each other and started laughing, we still on the floor…

We both looked at the sky for a while; it was so quiet and peaceful. “Do you like the sky?” I ask. “Uh? Yeah, I guess it’s cool to look at it sometimes…” Ross replies. “What I like the most of it, is that it’s for all of us…Now that I live here, I look at the sky and think that it’s the same piece of sky that I looked in my house in Japan. We… looked at the same sky once… and now we’re looking at the same sky but together, isn’t cool?” Ross looked at me and said -“That’s really deep… Another thing we have in common”- “And what else do we have in common, bestie?” I ask looking at him. “Ah…we both like hoodies” – He answers “Good one” –  I say. “We’re like deep thinkers?” “Um..Not sure about that, what else?” – I ask. “Um…OH! We- we love to fly” –  Ross says really excited. “Yeah, and also … We both like pink!” – I add. “Hell yeah! And we’re not really into scary movies, and WE BOTH PLAY THE PIANO! ” – Ross continues being super excited. “And we’ve called “Luna” something we love” (In this case, Mika named her favorite Rilakkuma plushie “Tsuki”, that means Moon so as Luna) also…” I say inconclusively “We both draw and…” – Ross adds. “Ross!!” I interrupt. “We’re forgetting the most important thing we have in common…” – I say grabbing his arm. “Um… that we both love Cookie Dough Ice Cream?” – Ross tries to guess. “No! …I’ve never tried cookie dough…No! We were born the same day, December 29…” – I say getting up. Ross does the same and looks at me “Omg! I-I didn’t know! Mika we’re actually twins! You’re my lost sister! My-My soul sister” – He says hugging me like she wouldn’t let me go in a 1000 years. “My soul brother is letting me out of air!” – I say while try to wriggle. Once he let me go, Ross started to stretch and said: “Well I have to wake up early tomorrow so I’m going to sleep, you coming with me?” – Ross offers. I smiled and said: “I think I’ll stay here a few more minutes, I have to write about this”. He made his silly laugh and said good night to me. I did the same.

It wasn’t long before I heard someone approaching me. When turned back I could recognize it was Rocky, I got up immediately. We looked at each other, my heart started beating so fast like the last time. I put my hair behind my ear, I couldn’t breathe I was so nervous. “H-hi there” – I greet waving. “What’s up?” – Rocky says in response. It was horrible, I couldn’t talk to him and all the scenes of the last time we were together appeared on my mind. Rocky also seemed nervous, I knew he wanted to talk with me but he didn’t.  “Um…” – I whisper.  “About the other night…” – Rocky starts.  “When we were in the porch…”– I say at the same time. I smiled and he did the same. “Talk you first…”– Rocky says coming near. “No, you first. It’s ok” – I say getting closer.

“All right” – He sighs. “OK! We both know that, that night we were about to kiss” I nod while get my blush. “So… what do you think?” – Rocky asks passing me by and sitting at the edge of the pool. I was still in the same place thinking. “I don’t know what to think…I don’t have an opinion about something that didn’t happen.”

Rocky turned to see me and told me to sit next to him. “But what if…?” I looked down and nervously said “I wouldn’t be mad… If that’s what you’re asking.” “… Can we try it again?” – Rocky asks looking away. I was so surprised that I couldn’t even answer him. He looked at me once again and I only nodded. Rocky leaned toward me and touched my chin, gently guided my lips to his and we finally kissed. His lips were so soft and warm, that was my first kiss and I would never forget it. We kissed for about 5 seconds only, but for me it was like traveling to Australia and back.  When we parted I was full of emotions, I was scared, excited, happy, nervous, speechless… everything. My eyes turned wet in a second, I was about to cry.

“Hey what’s wrong?” – Rocky asks scared. I wiped my tears and I looked at him “You just stole my first kiss Rocky Mark Lynch.” Rocky looked down feeling, I think, sad. “I’m glad it was with you.” – I add almost confessing that I liked him. Rocky hugged me with really tight and whispered “Can we stay like this forever?” “What do you mean?” – I ask still hugging him. Rocky touched my face and made me look into his eyes, his beautiful bright eyes, when he said: “I don’t want anybody to have you…” I looked at him and saw a really sad expression on his face “What?” – I ask worried touching his cheek. He grabbed my hand saying:

“To be honest, I don’t want the others to look at you…not even my brothers.” – Rocky said serious. I was really scared about this, is this confession? Or I was just dreaming? “You mean that…” – I try to say.

 “I want you just to be mine, I like yo… No, I’m crazy for you. I like you and I mean very much! Can you please just be mine? Be my girlfriend…?”
