Yakuza!!!

Chapter 7

In the pov of Rei 

I walked quickly out of the dining room and to my office.

I slid the door closed behind me and sighed deeply.

That was close, that was too close.

How can she look so pretty in that yukata? It suited her so well. I guess the traditional look is definitely the best. I couldn't care less for the western looks. Black hair and a yukata make the most beautiful combination.

Still, it was getting way too hard to stay in that room.

I wanted to touch her. 

I was so close to pushing her against the wall and claiming her lips, but if I had given myself that liberty, I don't know what would have happened.

I don't wish to startle her. 

I walked to my table and sat down.

Still, now that my plan has been put into motion, I can no longer step back.

I did indeed use the fact that she might be in danger to my advantage to get her to stay here.

But it is the truth that she could be in danger—more reasons to not let her go away from my side. 

Even the thought of someone hurting her devastates my soul. I can't let her get hurt, even though I will probably end up hurting her mentally.

I have already decided that I won't wait. I won't wait for the certainty of her feelings. I shall propose to her tomorrow evening.

This was my plan from the beginning. I am getting her to stay here. Propose to her, and if she says no.

I had already decided not to let her leave regardless of her answer. At that point, she will at least be aware of my feelings.

In the pov of Mei

I woke up the following day for the weirdly soft sensation underneath me but soon remembered I was asked to stay at Yamaguchi's place.

Somehow I have a terrible feeling about all of this, the kind that I'm not getting away from here anytime soon.

I stood up from the bed and walked to the closet. It was filled with yukatas, and I frowned.

No way I'm going to put one of those on the first thing in the morning.

I went to the closet and managed to find my yesterday's clothes and put them on.

Unluckily I don't have work today. I Would have gone to the city to buy some new reference books, but now that plan is ruined.

I wonder what I can even do here?

I picked up my phone and checked the clock.

6:30 I'm too used to waking up early. I gazed around the room and hesitated for a moment. But then I decided to look around. I had been locked in here, so the least they could do was allow me to look around.

I left my room and walked around in the quiet house.

No one is awake yet, or they have left somewhere. Well, it is the weekend
