Beautiful

Forgive

Chapter 14

Natsuki groaned, rubbing her burning eyes.

What happened? God... My throat is so dry...

She began coughing violently, her throat aching.

She opened her eyes and jumped back in surprise.

"Headache?" Yuri spat, her arms crossed as she stood beside Natsuki's side of the bed.

Natsuki nodded weakly.

"What happened to me?" she sat up slowly, clutching the sides of her head as she pulled her knees to her chest.

"You got drunk." Yuri growled.

"What?!" Natsuki jerked her head to her wife, immediately regretting it as she hissed in pain.

"Drink." Yuri shoved a bottle of soda into her hands.

Natsuki opened it slowly and took a long sip.

"Thanks..." Natsuki mumbled.

"Feel a bit better?" Yuri asked, her voice eerily calm.

"Yeah..." Natsuki sat up and faced her completely.

"Good. Then you're ready to get your ears scolded until they start ringing!" Yuri said, her voice getting louder with each word as she let her anger show.

Natsuki gulped, bracing herself for what could be said.

"Natsuki Amai Owens! Do you know how worried I was?! I thought you were just pulling another shift when you didn't come home but nooooo, you were getting drunk off your ass with some bitch I don't even know! Then poor Sayori tries her hardest to help you get home and what do you do?! You pass out on her and throw up on the couple sitting at the table beside you! Words cannot begin to describe how utterly enraged I am with you right now!" Yuri panted, out of breath after screaming that out.

Natsuki flinched slightly, biting her lip.

"I'm sorry..." Natsuki said softly, looking pleadingly into Yuri's furious eyes.

"You better be sorry! Gosh- Do you know how much I was panicking during the car ride there?! Monika thought I was having a stroke and quite frankly, I'm not sure whether I was or not!" Yuri scoffed.

Natsuki felt her heart clench, had she really done that?

I did all of that? What was I thinking?

"I'm so sorry, Yuri... I don't know how or why I would ever do that and I feel like shit knowing it hurt you... Can you please forgive me..?" Natsuki pleaded softly.

Yuri glared at her a moment before her features softened.

"If you ever do it again... I'm selling that death trap of yours." Yuri sighed.

"Deal. I won't. I swear." Natsuki smiled softly.

"You're so lucky I love you..." Yuri pouted.

"I love you too." Natsuki said quietly.

She stood, rising to her toes and wrapping her arms around Yuri's neck to peck her lips.

Yuri slung her arms around Natsuki's waist, kissing her deeply.

Natsuki pulled away and dropped off of her toes, smiling widely.

"I'll make breakfast." Natsuki whispered and kissed her cheek before walking passed her and out the door.

Yuri groaned and flopped back on the bed, her face in her hands.

Why is it so impossible to say no to this woman?
