サクラの花キス

Part 4 - A kiss from someone

{Hina's perspective}

I walked out of my house as I saw Nakahara-kun doing something on his phone.
-Good morning!, I said and ran over to him.
He gave me a grumpy look on his face and continued looking down at his phone.
-Why are you so angry?, I asked thoughtful.
-You didn't remember you were all drunk last night?, he answered and walked away to the school.
-Drunk?, I shouted at him.
But he didn't answer.

While walking to school I was thinking about what Nakahara-kun said.
When I was finally at school I did all I could to find Yoshida-kun.
-Good morning Koizumi-chan, someone said.
I turned around and saw Yoshida-kun smiling at me.
I grabbed his arm and walked over to a corner.
-What is it?, he asked thoughtful.
-Tell me what happened last night!
-You seriously don't remember?
-No!
-Okay then. Well, we quit the job and went to my place, after that we started making out and...
-Are you telling me that we... we, "did it"?, I asked quite as I felt how my cheeks turned rose red.
-No, of course not. I knew you were drunk.
-But you made out with me anyway?!
-You were the one that made a move on me!
-I was drunk, don't blame me!
I took a deep breathe and gave him a bitter look.
-Hey, are you ok-
-I hate you!, I cut off and ran away.

I left school that day because I was too upset. I told my mother and my school that I felt sick and went home. Mum kept asking me where I went last night, so I told her I felt sick too and went home. No one was home except me and Akiyama.
-Ah! You finally left the bathroom! I need the toilet, Akiyama said and laughed.
-I'm sorry, I mumbled quite.
She turned around and gave me a thoughtful look.
-Sit down my dear, she told me.
I did as she said and she took a sit next to me. She grabbed my hands and looked at me.
-Is something bothering you?, she asked.
I started to cry.
-Yoshida-kun got me a beer and I tried it and I got drunk, I said and sobbed, I didn't remember anything from last night so I asked him at school. He told me we got to his place and... and..
-You two did it..?, she asked.
-No! but I thought that too. He told me he would never do it with me if I was drunk... He said I started making out with him.. Gosh, I hate him!
-Do you really?
I gave her a thoughtful look.
-Yes! I know I was the one making out with him but...
-He didn't take it too far, did he honey?, she cut off.
What Akiyama said really made sense. I looked down at the floor.
-He asked me out the first day he attended my school, I mumbled.
-Honey, look at me.
I did as she said.
-I think he really likes you.
-What should I do Akiyama?
-Get some clothes on and go meet him!
-I should?
-Yes! Text him.
I took my phone.
-I don't think I have his...
-Drunk people can do anything, she said and smiled, almost.
-Thank you, Akiyama, I said and smiled.

Akiyama had right. In some weird way that I can't remember, I had Yoshida-kun's number. I called him and asked him to meet me at a cafe not far away from school. It was pretty dark, and I had been waiting for him for over one hour. Finally, he showed up. He walked towards me with his hands in his pockets.
-Koizu-
I gave him a fist on his cheek before he was done. He gave me a shocked look.
-Why?!, I screamed.
-You want to know why?, he screamed back.
-Yes!
-Because I love you, Hina!
He breathed deeply so you could hear him. I didn't say anything, I just looked at him with a sad face and took my hand on his cheek.
-I'm sorry I hit you, I just wanted my first kiss to be "special".
-Am I special to you?, he asked and looked me deep into my eyes.
I didn't answer, instead I took my hand off his cheek and looked down at my feet.
-This perhaps may make you like me, he said.
He took his hands on my cheeks so my lips were shaped like a kiss mouth, and kissed me gentle. My heart was beating fast as I wanted to hit him hard, but I didn't, because this was exactly how I wanted my first kiss to be. Even though it wasn't my first kiss, it was the first one for me.
He stopped and looked at me.
-Your first kiss, he said and smiled pleased.
-Sadly not the real one, I answered and gave him a disappointed look.
-Actually, you are wrong. When you're drunk you're never yourself.
He smiled at me.
I started sobbing.
-What now?, he mumbled.
I gave him a big hug while I started to cry.
-Thank you, Yoshida-kun! I don't know you that well, but... I'm happy!, I shouted and sobbed.
-Thank you, Hina, he answered and pulled me closer to him.
