This girl, it's been only seven years, yet she's crying so much. She should be smiling, but I guess, I did leave without any explanation, without saying goodbye. But I'm thankful, we were brought together again. "Hey. Stop crying." My voice was deep, and calming, but some people say it's husky, I don't think so. I bent down to see her face, she was wiping her tears away, she said, "I don't think I can right now." Her voice quavering, I wiped her eyes and said, "Look at me, don't do anything else." She stopped rubbing her eyes and looked at me, those eyes...…so golden, yet so deep brown, with that little blue streak inside them. "Come on, I'll take you some place that won't make you cry." I suddenly realized that the Butler and Lobo or Arisa were there behind us, "Scram you two, I'll call if I need you. Oh, and Arisa, thank you for telling me who she was." She bowed and smiled warmly, "It was my pleasure, young master." She walked away, while pulling the Butler along.
I took Cerise to my room's terrace, by a secret passage. "You can open your eyes now." I pulled her beside me and leaned myself against the stone railing, "Wow!!! This is the best sunset I've ever seen!! She pulled out her phone to take a picture, kept it away then she looked at me, she caressed my face with her hand, her face looked shy, "It's been seven years you know. You've changed a lot, everything except your eyes. The kindest eyes I ever saw." She gave me a peck on the cheek, then her hand left my face to let herself lean against the railing, "Were you lonely without me?" I asked, still staring at the sun, the clouds above were little swirls and lines, some cute and some thin, some grey others white, it was like a painting, I turned over and looked up at the sky as it became darker, rested my elbows on the railing, I turned my head to look at her, "Hello? Could answer my question?" "Hm, yeah I was lonely. I stayed in isolation for a year and two months, then I got over it. I tried to forget about you, so that I wouldn't feel too sad. But I always remembered you, in my dreams sometimes, or just when someone used to act like you." "But don't you...…hate me?" "I mean, I left you alone, for so many years, without saying goodbye or anything." She smiled, "Oh, for that. I got really pissed off, but I'll take my revenge of that later." "I just want to, you know. Make new memories, and try to make up, for the time we lost, revenge isn't on the top of my to do list." She yawned, she looked like a cat, so much like a wild leopard. "Hey. About leaving you-" she covered my mouth with her hands, "No. Absolutely no bringing up old, bad memories. We. Are. Here. To. Make. New. Good. Memories. Not to resurface old ones. Understood?" I held my hands up in surrender, "Good." She let me go, and when she turned, she moved to the room behind us, just till the window glass, 'I bet this is your room." I replied, "Yeah." She turned again and looked at the now sky, which was dark black, with blue and purple. She walked towards to me, "It's getting dark, this reminds me of the time we were at your old house, next to mine in the woods, the time we went up that tree and stayed there because we couldn't climb down. You held me close to you, even though the eagles in that tree scratched and clawed you a million times, you were so brave, just to keep me safe. And I…I did nothing to help you, I just cried." I felt her sadness and pain, did I make her go through all this, when I left her? No, no it's not right. Suddenly my hands moved on their own, and I held her still, against the glass window of my room, and I kissed her, as hard yet gently as I could, she gasped. Her hands hooked around my neck, pulling me closer to her, and we just kissed for a while standing there, as night dawned upon us. A while later, we stopped kissing, I stepped away from her, and I looked into her eyes, which was still dazed from the sudden kiss I gave her, what is wrong with me? Why did I just kiss her like that? Aren't we supposed to be friends? I thought as we both stood there in awkward silence, she spoke up first, her voice soft, "You...You kissed me..." "Yeah, sorry about that, I don't know what got into me. Just, just forget about it. It was a mistake." She smiled and said, "Ok.". Her whole personality changed from her shy and cute self to her cool and calm demeanor, "You should check what time it is."
Reuniting may be sad or happy.
But one thing's for sure,
It will happen at some point in time, whether it be late or soon.
