Chapter 79 - Troubled
"Are you listening to me?" The girl in front of him is the current goddess of the entertainment industry. She was not like the other girls he messed with.
Yuhi regretted getting involved with somebody so troublesome. Make note, do not mess around with women from the entertainment industry. There is no way she will let him go even if he does kiss her.
"I am listening. But Sara, I have a girlfriend."
Sara sighed. "I don't care if you do or not, now is not a good time to let go of our ambiguous relationship. You know how everybody in the industry sees us as a couple. Currently I am negotiating a good deal with a famous perfume company. If we announce this news now, then there is a chance I could lose it."
Is she not admitting to using him? Then again he does understand where she is coming from. If he knew he would get together with Sumire, he would have clarified those rumors a long time ago.
"No matter what you say, I wont break up with my girlfriend. I will make some arrangements so your deal goes through and your other work isnt affected. But starting from today we are finished." Yuhi said coldly. "If you still want to insist, then I will make this a company related matter."
Yuhi did not say anymore and quickly left.
A deep sigh crossed his lips once he saw the time. Two hours have passed already. Sumire will kill him for making her wait that long.
It was a couple making out. Yuhi would have ignored them but he immediately recognized the man as Sano. The girl in his arms was the one competing with Sara.
The girl giggled. "Then I shall go, see you tomorrow."
"Sure."
Yuhi rolled his eyes and sighed. It seems like he was right, this man is not serious about returning to Sumire. Anybody serious would not do something like this. He wanted to walk away quickly and leave. But unfortunately Sano already saw him.
"Fancy meeting you here."
Yuhi looked away and Sano chuckled. "Did you see?"
"I did."
"I see no reason for you to judge me when you were doing the same."
At that comment Yuhi sighed. "If you were listening, I was cutting all my ties with those people."
"Funny enough I was doing the same."
His gaze dimmed when he heard those words. "I told you to leave Sumire alone."
Sano chuckled. "Did you think I would listen to that? Terashima Yuhi, you seem to underestimate me quite a bit. But when I said I would take Sumire back, I meant it."
"She does not like you, and she doesnt even want to speak to you." Yuhi pointed out. "How do you expect to win her over when the odds are against you?"
Where on earth does this man get his confidence from? Yuhi does not understand at all. Why does he still think he can get Sumire? The only thing that comes to mind now is him using some sort of dirty trick to win her over.
.........….
Sumire was the one who went to find him. After that talk with Sano, Yuhi felt bad and simply remained there smoking.
The girl removed the cigarette from his fingers and wrapped his arms around his neck, she brushed his lips against his. "A replacement for your cigarettes."
"I like this replacement." Yuhi mumbled as he kissed her.
For the next few minutes all he does is kiss her heavily. The sight from earlier of Sano kissing that girl played in his mind and Yuhi shook his head. He is not the same as that man. His arms that were wrapped around her waist slid lower until it arrived at the bottom half of her dress.
Yuhi however paused. Right, he probably shouldn't continue there. Those previous two times aside, he cannot do anything else. Sumire is only seventeen, she maybe eighteen soon. But until then he should keep his hands off her. Even when she turns eighteen, he ought to wait for a few days.
So the safest time to touch her would be july?
"Mmm, Yuhi." Sumire said. "I met with Hino-san in the park just now and he heard me sing."
He paused for a moment before his lips went down to her attack. "It is killing me not to touch you."
"We just started dating Yuhi. I want to take things slow."
"I understand." Yuhi nodded as he loosened her clothes. "But can I still touch you this way? Would you hate it?"
"Not so much but remember time and place. We maybe in an alleyway, but people can still see us from here."
"Then let me smoke."
Sumire rolled her eyes and sighed. "I guess I did just accept to be a replacement for your cigarettes."
Yuhi nodded. "I like my replacement, you smell good and you taste sweet."
He knew his words were starting to affect her since her cheeks burned red. Yuhi chuckled. "It seems you understand Sumire."
"Dummy, why did I say yes? You're a beast."
"Heh."
Yuhi wanted to do more than kiss. But not only is he not a fan of getting arrested but he does not want to frighten her. Sumire wrapped his arms around his neck and Yuhi tightened his hold on her waist. "Try to relax."
"Mm, I got it. I trust you Yuhi."
She trusts him huh? Sometimes Yuhi wished that she did not trust him this much. If Sumire did not trust him so much, he would feel less guilty. Why does this girl care for him so much? His confession was rather abrupt. He would not have blamed her for refusing him. But not only did she not refuse, Sumire is the one who initiates all their dates since that time. She is the one who suggests for places to go.
No matter how happy she is now though. Yuhi knew she would not truly get any peace until she finds out the truth regarding Mamoru's death. Until that mystery is solved, this relationship will be in danger.
