Chapter 35: How Foolish Am I?
"Please do not address me by my first name again!" She demanded and stormed away.
He chased after her and tightly grabbed her wrist.
" Leave me alone! I don't want to be anywhere near you right now."
"Tell me what is wrong with you…"
"…"
" Kotori! "
That voice of his infuriated her and she could not stand another second. The way he called out to her heartbeat faster, there was a hurricane of emotions. For what was next to come, surprised the both of them as she slapped him across the face with tears forming in her eyes.
" I told you not to call me by name now!"
" Why are you behaving this way, Kotori? You are acting like a child throwing a tantrum and I will not entertain this any longer. This is not your first rodeo. You have been causing a disturbance within the neighborhood and members of the household, I can understand the jealousy you must feel since your beauty will never measure up to Amelia or is there another reason?
She snatched her hand away and made direct contact with him as she turned around. She wanted to confess her feelings but was afraid of what that would mean to their friendship. There was sadness in her heart that overwhelmed her because deep down she knew that he will always choose Amelia.
"What else could it be? I just can't stand to be around you anymore."
"Have you fallen in love with me?" He says jokingly.
In mid-sentence, she paused her footsteps and balled her hands up. She could hear her heart pounding against her chest and that scared her. She stood still and could not deny her feelings towards him any longer as she gave him a slight nod slowly. " Yes, I do. I love you, Mr. Nakamaru." She spoke softly and was completely flustered.
" Kotori are too young and immature to even comprehend love. You might feel a strong sense of attraction and dependence for helping you because parents abandoned you, I grieved with you when your brother died. You do not love me, Kotori! You are simply in love with the fact of being in love with me.
" That is not true, I am seriously in love with you Mr. Nakamaru! "
" Stop this nonsense right now, Kotori! What do you think what was going to happened? That we would get together and live happily ever after? Well, don't I have some news for you…. You are the one that I want to be with, I love Ameila and I don't know how else I show say it to get it wrapped around that tiny brain of yours. Did you think I would throw away a relationship of 10 years for someone I barely even known for a year. I have a fiancée and she's about to have my child soon. Stay away from me and I think it would be better if you move out sooner.
" You must care about me to some extent!"
" Just in care I was not clear, I would never date someone so poor and dirty. I slept with you because you seem easy, and I pitied you.
" Mr. Nakamaru, why are you trying to hurt my feelings deliberately?" She questioned, with tears streaming down from her cheeks." Does it make me stupid that I still love you? I just want you to know before I completely disappear from your live and to show my appreciation for everything that you done for me. You didn't have to be mean to push me away, I was leaving by the end of the week anyways."
" Since there is not chance of us meeting you again, I am the reason for your shitty life."
" What are you talking about? What happen with my family have nothing to do with you." She held out her hand." Let's just say goodbye now, I always knew that I couldn't compete with Amelia. We can just go out separate ways as we agreed from the beginning."
"Not without you knowing the truth but I don't want to hurt you?
"Huh? Just tell me! What can possibly hurt me? Anything that you say will never change how I feel about you."
" Kotori, did you ever thought it was odd that you met someone like me from a online site? It was not a coincidence. Your father was hired into our company to keep an eye on me and one drunken night, I hit your brother. My assistant followed you and studied your patterns by hacking into your IP address."
