Being a Pátissiere (Yumeiro Patisseire)

End

( Ayame's POV )

"Kiss me." I know that I'm asking too much... But, this is the only way to know what I must do next.

"Okay." I look up at him with wide eyes. He move closer to me and lean in. Slowly...slowly...

Until I felt his soft lips.. somehow...I suddenly felt like I really missed him...so much that I don't want to let him go..

He pulled away and look at me. That's when I realized what happened to me two years ago. 

FLASHBACK

"Be mine. I won't ever let you cry."

"I'll make you forget him. So you won't be hurt again."

"I'll never leave you."

"Please, accept me. I can make you happy everyday."

"You don't need him anymore. Just go out with me.."

"I'll make you feel the pleasure you wanted."

REALITY

As all those memories of what Matsu-chan said and did to me...Because of my own choice, I even hurt myself, and Makoto-kun.

Without realizing it, I'm already crying.

"Gomen....gomen ne Makoto-kun...gomen.." I said and he hugged me tight.

"You went through a lot.. I'm also sorry to leave you and hurt you...But please...remember that I always love you.." with those words, my tears just can't stop.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"So Matsumoto really harassed you?" Makoto-kun asked.

"I-its not like that...its just that, I was so sad and depressed whenever I think about you, so I think I also caught up in the moment.....I'm bad aren't I?" I explained. We're now in a coffee shop near the school.

"You..why are you so careless!?" he suddenly shouted. But somehow, I feel really happy.

"But I'm so happy because you're with me now...but, what if Matsu-chan saw us?" I asked.

"Who cares? we love each other anyways. And I'm going to beat him up." He said and took a sip of coffee.

Then, he hold my hand, that was just resting on the table.

"Ne, Makoto-kun...I'm sorry if I couldn't be with you two years ago.." I said and look down.

"Hm? Why are you apologizing?" He asked.

"Actually...I was also going to a school where you're enrolled. But, well....I just met Matsu-chan that day...and, it got complicated...I'm really sorry.." I said.

"Its fine. As long as I can see you, touch you, and love right now, then its enough. Ah, no, Be with me forever. Then I won't be mad at you." He said. Ah, I'm already tearing up.

"Ne, Makoto-kun...let's run away together." I said as I started to cry while smiling.

"I'll go wherever you want us to go.. but not now..." he said and look away.

"I guess we really need to face Matsu-chan...." I said and look down. He grabbed my cheeks and made me look at him.

"Don't worry. I'll protect you." He said and smiled at me.

"Hmm, can we go to a park?" He asked as I nodded. We went out of the Shop and we cross the street until I remember something.

"Makoto-kun! I forgot my wallet in the coffee shop, I'll just go and get it. Wait for me here." I quickly said and run off. But then, I heard a car beeping, I look to my side and my eyes widened, as I froze up.
