(Takano Masaume x Onodera Ritsu)Tell me you love me. Integral version

Chapter 9

Takano p.o.v

I've done it. I definitely lost him.

Pain and regret devour me.

Emptiness. I feel so emty without him.

" There's no coming back "

I think

" Takano open up the door NOW! !!!!!"

I hear his voice. Ritsu!

Why are you here?

I could always pretend I am not here.

But sooner or later we'll end up to meet. We are neighbours after all. And he knows where I work.

There is no other way.

I have to move on and leave the country.

I must start a new life without him.

A life without him.

This though makes me so scared.

But I have to do it for him.

He deserves it.

A better work, a better lover and a better life.

I pause.

I wonder if he will suffer.

But how? He doesn't even love me. He never told me he loves me.

" Takano! I know you are here!!!"

Since he doesn't give up I'm staying with him tonight and tomorrow I'm leaving the country.

But I need to tell him goodbye first.

" Come in " I say opening the door.

"Hi"

" Hi? !???!!!! Do you want to tell me what you meant before? "

" Baka ! It was only a joke "

I force a laugh.

He doesn't seem to believe me in the beginning. So I grab him and bite his neck.

"Takano! Stop!"

His face turns red immediately and I think about how much I'm going to miss it.

"A joke, huh? You are really driving me crazy! ! Why is going on in your head? "

" Stay over tonight "

" Are you listening to me? I am angry with you! And then why should I stay? "

" Beacause I want you "

I whisper looking straight to his eyes.

He starts stuttering

" Y - you big pervert! !"

" Come on I know you want it too "

" Don't be so sure about that"

I smile and lead him to my bed.

This is our last night.

When the daylight comes I'll have to go but tonight I'm gonna hold you closer than ever.

I'll make you remember it.

All of it. Beacause I love you.
