Being a Pátissiere (Yumeiro Patisseire)

Chapter 17

( Ayame's POV )

"What?!" I shouted.

'How is that even possible?! I didn't even know who he is!' I thought.

"Why don't you try to remember?" He said while still smirking.

'Hmmm Matsumoto Kou.....Matsumoto........matsumoto kou........' I thought when suddenly,

9 years ago...

"Aww, look at our children... they're so happy!" My mom said to her friend, who is Matsumoto-san. While me, and Matsu-chan's playing.

"I think they'll become a good couple someday!" Matsumoto-san said happily while my mom nodded excitedly.

"We should arrange their marriage as soon as possible!" Matsumoto-san said.

"Yes. I agree with you!" Mom said.

"Do you hear that Aya-chan? We're going to get married!" Matsu-chan said happily while I nodded too.

"Are you happy Aya-chan?" He asked.

"Of course I am! Matsu-chan, Daisuki! (I love you!)" I said and hugged him while he laugh and hugged me back.

I was still 5 back then, and he's 6. But we're really close. We always play everyday. Since my mom and his mom is really close too.

But then, one day, I went to their house. And found out that no one's answering.

Then my mom came running after me.

"Mom, where's Matsu-chan?" I asked but my mom frowned.

"They went away, Ayame..." she replied and I felt myself crying.

A year later...

I went again to their house, without mom knowing. I was just standing in front of their house, and about to cry again. But then, I saw a boy, about the same age as me. He's inside the gates.

" Why are you here? And who are you?" The blonde boy asked.

"I'm Ayame... who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Kashino... Makoto Kashino..." and that's the day I first met him. And forgot about Matsu-chan.

Present...

My eyes became wide and collapse on the floor.

I look up to look at him.

"Matsu...-chan?....." I asked quietly. While he smiled. A welcoming smile.

"You remembered now..." he said while still smiling.

Then, my tears fall out.

"I...I can't believe that I forgot about you....... but..... why did you left?... why did you leave me?... did you know that I waited for you?" I quietly said and cried.

"I'm so sorry Aya-chan......." he said and hugged me tightly.

"I waited so long..... why didn't you came back?.... you didn't even know that my mom is dead!" I said while crying.

"Shhhh..... I know..... I already know about it...... I'm so sorry Ayame...." he said.

"I waited... did you know why? Because I loved you....... I LOVED you....... when you left, you gave me a chance to met someone and fall in love with him........ and its so hard......" I said while I trying to get off of his grip.

"Don't say that Ayame!" He suddenly shouted.

"I know you still have feelings for me! Because you won't be this emotional if you don't!" He said.

He's right... why am I being emotional right now? Do I really still love him? But that's impossible right?

I slowly stand up and sat on the bed. I saw Matsu-chan went to the door and locked it.

I get the milk and drink it all in one shot. And it helps me calm down a bit. I wiped my face and breath in and out.

"So... are you okay?" Matsu-chan asked and sat beside me.

"I don't know why..... but I guess you're right. I guess...." I said while looking away.

"Aya-chan... you really looked beautiful now..." he said and smiled. Which made my face red.

He then moved his body closer to me, and I can really feel his heat. But I still didn't look at him.

He holds my hand, and his other hand made its way to my cheek and made me look at him.

"I love you Ayame. And it won't ever change." He said and slowly kissed me. I wasn't shock. I can't deny that he's my first love.

I closed my eyes and kissed him back. I really miss him... for 9 long years... I can't believe that I was able to see him here.

We pulled away and look at each other's eyes.

"Gosh.... why is it really hot in this room?" I said as I stand up and look around. My face is really red right now!

Then, he suddenly hugged me from my back.

"Don't tell to my Master that we know each other, or else, he won't ever let me see you.." whispered to my ears which made my face really hot. And I nodded.

He let go and went away. But before he can close the door, he winked at me.

I lay on my bed with a smile on my face. But, I suddenly heard a strange noise from my window. I got up and slowly went through it.

I opened it and saw Grape-chan!

"Grape-chan! Where have you been? Are alright?" I asked.

"I'm okay you silly! Anyway, who is that butler? Why is he kissing you?!" She asked out of no where and I cover her mouth.

"Be quiet! No one knows that I know him! So.. be careful. I will explain to you tomorrow... for now, let's just sleep." I said while she nodded. We made our way to the bed and sleeps.

( Kou's POV )

'Wah... I'm glad that I was able to hold back! She's really beautiful.. and I really want to attack her........' I thought.

'Its okay, I'm still going to marry her anyway..' I thought and smirked.

( France's POV )

'I'm so happy that Ayame-chan is going to live in my house!! >///< but..... does she have a boyfriend?...

I really want to be her boyfriend... wait, I think that Makoto? Is he her boyfriend? But since Makoto is not here... I can be with her as long as I want....' I thought while I lay on my bed.

"I wish that she's going to be with me forever........" I quietly said and fell asleep.
