Chapter 129:- Not Wanting to Know
We spent that whole day out in the park. At first we were planning on staying there until the early afternoon, and then spend the rest of the evening at the aquarium. But seeing how much fun Ryo and Mei had, and how well they got along we all agreed to stay longer and go to the aquarium the next day.
After dinner, Ryo came up to my room as he usually did.
"Phew, that girl has so much energy." He said smiling, as he dropped down onto my bed.
"Well, I take it's a good thing. I haven't seen you this happy in a really long time." I said.
"Hm, I guess you're right."
"So, she's not so bad to get along with, is she?" I asked.
"You're right," he nodded, "she's fun to have for a little sister. I don't think I could eaily get bored with her."
"And I'm sure she thinks the same way about you." I assured him.
Neither of us said anything for some time. My computer was on, I decided to scan through my mail, just to do something.
"Mizuki." Ryo said.
"Hm?"
"Have you thought about what I said--"
"Oh, look here!" I interupted him. "Sho and the rest of the gang finally sent me an email with some news!"
I looked at Ryo, he looked disappointed. I quickly turned away.
I knew he was going to bring up that afternoon in the kitchen. But I didn't want to know. I didn't want to get my hopes up and change my mind about going back to Japan. There was no point in staying if he didn't remember.
Even if there was the slightest chance he might fall in love with me again. How would I explain my story of coming to look for someone? How would I explain Sakura?
He didn't believe what the gang tried to explain to him several times. There was no reason he would believe me. If anything, we would part on bad terms, and I certainly didn't want that to happen between us. Not after finally having him trust me. Not after everything we've been through.
