So let's just go on with the chapter..

CHAPTER 4: RACING HEART <3 <3

After finally convincing every one that I was really fine and making them leave, I sighed, which made Sanji ask if I really was okay.. I had forgotten Sanji was still here. I just gave a goofy smile at Sanji and asked if he needed help with cleaning up.

I did not want to go over that question again. I guess Sanji understood I was dodging his question. So, without further questioning, with a smile he pointed at the sink full of dishes.

Even with Sanji right beside me, the only sound that could be heard was the water flowing from the tap, the clattering of the dishes and the distant shouts and laughs of the boys from the deck.

This sudden silence was slowly pulling me towards my past. The memories of the old days flowed into my mind, reminding me of the times I spent together with him and of the promise.

Forgetting the past isn't as easy as I thought, the more you try to forget, the more it pushes it ways through your mind.

But as the idiot i am, I spoke out my thoughts loud. I regretted it the very moment. I looked at Sanji with the face that was screaming can-you-forget-what-you-just-heard.

I presume he got what I wanted to say. He just looked at me with his warm smile. And the silence continued once again.

Later when we done with the cleaning, Sanji brought me a cup of my favourite tea. I was surprised as he placed the tea in front of me and whispered into my right ear, "A little gratitude for my princess. Our secret." Then he winked at me.

Then he pulled the chair and sat down. I knew he was looking at me, but I pretended not to notice. I tried not to be caught in his strong gaze. It made me uneasy. That gaze felt as if it could see through all my defences and reveal all about me and my insecurities.

Breaking the long silence, he suddenly said, "You know Ayoma chan, you really don't have to try so hard just to forget your past. The past is a part of you. Running away from it won't do any good.. You need to face it head on. Forgetting it means cutting off a part of you, your existence." He paused for a while before continuing. In a low voice he resumed, "which I, personally, don't want you to."

"I don't know all of what happened but if there's something you need now, someone to help you I will always always be there for you", he said again, repeating 'always' twice.

The words flowed in me like a warmth. Washing away all my uneasiness. I made them worry about me, which I really didn't want. But to have someone say those words to me made me really happy.

"Thank you, Sanji." I uttered playing with the smooth surface of the porcelain cup half filled with tea. To which Sanji responded with a soft uh-huh. I looked up to face him, but he wasn't looking at me. I noticed his ears had turned multiple shades of red and pink though I could not see his face.

Was he blushing??

Without realising, I found myself blushing as well. My heart beat accelerated. "Uh.. Uh.. I guess I will go and get some uh fresh air and uh stretch out may be. I need to find Nami too." I managed to say, scratching the back of my head. I laughed to cover the awkwardness, but it sounded so fake. Plus I could not make sense out of things i was saying myself.

"Thank you for the coffee" with that I pushed my chair and left the room without looking back.

I went out to the deck and took a deep breath trying to analyse what just happened. The image of Sanji being so shy and blushing until his ear were red, did not leave my mind. His reaction surprised me.

I always thought that Sanji was just a pervert, flirting with people as long as they were girls.

Just then, a certain emotion developed within me. It was something I had felt, not to long ago. And my racing heart did not calm down.

End of the Chapter~

Was the chapter too obvious?? Hahaha

Is it okay that Ayoma who hadn't completely forgotten about her past love, suddenly have feeling for Sanji?

It's not strange right??
