Can He Love Me? (Ai Mikaze x Haruka Nanami)

Chapter 21: Secrets

Haruka's POV:

I got senpai the jelly he like. I got two from the snack bar. I went back to the cottage to find senpai wasn't there anymore only the others. Then I heard Kotobuki-senpai called, running toward us.

"Minna!!!" I look at the childish senpai to see a horror shock plastered on his face. By the tone of his voice it seems shocking and a big news. He was panting really hard.

"You won't believe what I just saw!" He shouted. The other senpais seem uninterested.

"It better be not one of your pranks Kotobuki!" Camus-senpai said taking a sip of his tea. Kurosaki-senpai also nodded.

"It's not a PRANK! Im serious and I know you'll going to be shock as well!"

"Fine tell us!" Kurosaki-senpai stated crossing his arms. All of us turned our attention to Kotobuki-senpai.

"Ok...." He said and took a long breath and started telling us.

(A/N: Let's have our flirty Ren do his POV)
Ren's POV:

"It's about Ai-Ai and Tomo-chan!!" Rei-chan said making me really shock. Again with this kind of situation between those two.

"Well it's mostly about Ai-Ai!"

"Just get to the Point Kotobuki!!" Camus-senpai said.

Rei-chan nodded, "ok well Ai-Ai asked me to tell you guys that we'll play beach volleyball! He said it would be 'FUN' to play!" The others where shock but decided to just join beside it was the first time we heard senpai said that. I don't know if I would also join but if I do this 'stupid' feeling comes when I see the both of them together.

"Aren't you goin to join us Ren-kun?" Kitten spoke making me break from my daze. Forgot to mention I'm talking to Hanna. I call her kitten.

"Im not really on the mood to play. You can all go I'll just stay here" I said taking a seat at the table

"Same for me then!" She yelled taking a seat across me.

"Your not going to join them Kitten?" I ask.

"Well Ai-kun will get mad if I stay to long under the sun. Basically he won't let me play! Its ok for me and I also wanted to talk to you." She smirk.

"And what do you want to talk about Kitten?" I ask tilting my head.

"About....Tomo-chan!" My eyes widened. She is looking at me with a mischievous smile.

"Why her?" I ask keeping my cool.

"Don't deny it Ren-kun cause I know you have a crush on her! It's the first time I see you so serious about a girl! Aside from flirting with me and Haru-chan!" She said.

"What makes you think that I like her?"

"Well you seem to flirt her in a different way. It's like your cautious with her and shy. I notice it.....So tell me am I correct?" She ask.

".....yes..you are correct. I-I l-like her." I stuttered while blushing.

"Well tell her how you feel!"

"I can't Kitten. You know what Shinning said 'Idols are forbidden to fall in love!' Even if the rule was gone I don't know if she likes me back." I said my head down with signs of giving up.

"Well you can't. Try to to confess to her at the perfect time....Ok? Maybe she will feel the same way." She said. 

"I don't know.....what about Ai-senpai? Does he also likes Tomo?" I ask.

"Hmm that I don't know...." And again this is getting pointless. I sighed in defeat.I'm giving up because I know I don't stand a chance with Ai-senpai.

"But....." I look at her and she seems to be thinking.

"I know Ai-kun likes Haru-chan more!" She stated.

"Little Lamb?"

She nodded, "Yup! Ai-kun seems to like Haru-chan more. She also like Ai-kun. I also got a feeling his asking Tomo-chan for help. So don't give up yet Ren-kun! Tell her how you feel!" She said motivating me to just do it. I may have a chance she will like me back. Though I'm not sure enough.

"Ok then Kitten. I'll try to confess...but....in one condition."

"Nani? Ren-kun"

"You'll also confess to Natsuki." I said. She turned red and shake her head telling me she won't.

"I won't take a 'No' for an answer Kitten. You motivated me so I'll try to help you too with your problem. It's a fair game....maybe he likes you too." I said.

"Well ok then I'll also will t-try bu-but not n-now..." She stammered fiddling with her fingers.

"We have a deal then!" I said and held out my hand. She nodded and shook them.

"Deal!"

..............................

"What 'Deal'?" We turned around to see Ai-senpai.

"Um n-nothing A-Ai-kun!"

"Don't tell me I already heard it awhile ago because I was going to ask you both to join but I stop when I heard Ren's statement about Tomo-chan." Ai-senpai said making me blush. He heard the conversation.

"Y-you were eavesdropping??" Kitten ask.

"Well if you put that way... Yes I was. I already know about it with some observations and my calculations was right." Senpai concluded.

"Um c-can you please don't tell anyone senpai?" I said losing my cool.

"Ok. You guys are safe cause all of us has secrets that we need to keep. So don't worry both of your secrets are safe with me IF.....both of you will also keep my secret."

"Hai!" Me and Kitten shouted bowing down.

"Now then let's all go play volleyball." He said and we nodded and followed him to the court.

"What took you so long Ai-Ai?" Rei-chan ask.

"Sorry about that. Me and Ren have to wait for Hanna to put on some sunblock. She really took so long to put some on." Ai-senpai said nudging Hanna and also me.

"Yeah so-sorry hehehehe!" She laughed awkwardly.

"Come Hanna-chan lets play~!" Natsuki cooed taking Hanna with him. Tomo then approach us. Asking us to play also. Ai-senpai humbly refused and telling her he'll be the referee. 

"Then lets play now come Ren-kun!!!" Tomo said pulling me to the court. I blush at her sudden action. I look back to see Ai-senpai smirk mouthing me good luck.

We all played volleyball. We all have fun together. Maybe Kitten was right I might tell Tomo how I feel. Her smile makes me also smile. It's like I want to be with her all day. Without getting tired of looking at her. I started to like her because of her attitude. She seems to be not affected by my move from the beginning. That made me to start liking her. I became serious with her. I hope she will also feel the same way.
