Chapter 7: Love ain't a bed of roses

~*~

Sniffing, Stella sat alone on a sidewalk under the starry sky. She gazed blankly at the harbor. Her eyes bloodshot red and her tearstained cheeks were not as prominent as it was in the day. Her mind constantly flashed back to the incident that happened just now. Her eyes suddenly start to tear.

“Gosh… where on Earth am I getting all this water from?” Stella inquired as she used the back of her hand to clean her tears.

“Jeez, don’t do that. Use a handkerchief.” She heard somebody talking behind her than a handkerchief appeared in front of her.

“Thank you.” Stella said as she turned around to take the handkerchief but was shocked to see that the person who offered her the handkerchief was actually Kira. Stella froze. Kira then wiped away her tears. Then Stella immediately took the handkerchief.

“I… I can do it by myself… thank you…” Stella stuttered. Kira just recovering from his shock nodded and looked too at the sky.

“Hey…” both of them turned to face each other, both party said the first word together. Stella blushed and turned away so did Kira.

“Urm… so what do you want to say?” Stella asked Kira.

“Urm, why don’t you go first?” Kira stuttered embarrassed.

“I asked first you know…” Stella pouted.

“He…hey… don’t mind me asking… but… what’s your relationship between you and Kyuu?” Kira asked without looking at Stella.

“Why are you so concern about this?” Stella asked.

“I don’t know… I…” Kira muttered. His smiling face turned into a serious expression. Stella took a deep breath before turning to Kira.

“Kira, how do you feel about me?” Stella asked Kira very straightforwardly. Kira looked out at the open sea as though the sea could reflect some answers to him. He sighed and looked at Stella defeatedly.

“I don’t know…” Kira whispered.

“Then how about Monoki?” Stella gulped. Kira paused for a while.

“I love her.” Kira replied. Stella immediately dropped something. She looked out at the sea with that same blank look. She then stood up and left.

“Stella?!” Kira yelled but Stella ignored it and ran away. Tears raced down her cheeks like the cars in a F1 race.

[KYUU’S PLACE]

*Knock

Kyuu stumbled to the door way and opened to see a sobbing Stella. Shocked, Kyuu immediately invited Stella in.

“Hey… do you have any beer?” Stella mumbled her hand buried under her head.

“We are under-aged dummy” Kyuu said as he placed a cold can of Guinness on her cheek. Without giving a single retort, Stella snatched the clod can of beer and gulped it down. Finally, she broke down into tears.

“Is it too late?” Stella cried.

“The only time when everything its too late its when you die.” Kyuu nodded knowledgably. Stella as though she felt a little better sniffed. She looked at Kyuu and smiled. She then hugged Kyuu.

“I won’t cry anymore…” Stella vowed. Kyuu laughed and patted her head and they both lied on the bed saying nothing each enjoying each others company. For they both know that this warmth that is enveloping them will soon disappear.
