Chapter Eight
Usagi still sat on her bed; fiddling with her fingers, just waiting for something to happen. She turned her head to her side because she immediately heard a sound, coming from her phone. She picked it up as she trembled, still thinking at the thought of what she had done. (A/N: If you guys don't know what I'm talking about, she's thinking of what she has done; agreeing to the fact that she would hook Mamoru and Sayori up even though, Usagi is in love with Mamoru.) She looked at the caller ID, and mumbled to herself, Sayori. The phone just kept ringing so, she decided that she would answer it. She pushed the button and said,
"Hello…?"
"Hi, Usagi?"
"Um, yes?" She said, putting her left hand on her lap with light pressure.
"Do you want to go to the arcade? You know… to see if Mamoru is there?"
"Oh right, about that…" She paused, trying to figure out what she was going to say next.
"If you don't want to, it's o-"
"No no! It's okay. I'm not doing anything right now so, it's fine." Usagi interrupted.
"Oh, are you sure? It doesn't really seem like you want to do this…"
"No no. I'm staying on my word. It's okay! Mamoru usually goes to the arcade at this time so, it's all good." She said, smiling.
"Okay then, great! I guess I'll meet you there right now!" Sayori said, very excited.
"Great! Well, I'll see you there. Bye!"
"Bye!"
Usagi hung up the phone, and threw it on the floor. She couldn't take it. She just wanted to say, "NO! You can't have him!" But to her, she just wanted her friends to be happy. She cares a lot about her friends and, she can't stand it when someone is really mad or sad. Especially if she was the one that caused it. So, if anything… she's letting her have him. (A/N: Y'all are probably thinking, NO! WHAT IS SHE DOING! BUT! Hang in there… it's going to be better: ) )
Usagi walked to the arcade, with her head low. Of course, she was looking down at her feet, not exactly knowing if she was going the right way. 'STOP THINKING ABOUT IT! You've made your decision, just drop it!' She thought. By her looks right now, it looks like she is going to really knock someone out. But, by the time she could at least take one more step, she walked into someone. WHAM! She let out a sigh of pain, and when she was beginning to fall backwards, the man had fast reactions. So, he caught her by grabbing her right hand, and catching her body with his right arm.
"Usagi, are you alright?" Mamoru said, feeling worried about her. She finally opened her eyes.
"Mamoru!" She got fully balance, and got out of his grasp. "I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were there. Oh gosh, I actually didn't know where I was going and--"
Mamoru laughed. "It's okay Usagi, no need to apologize." She put her hand on her chest, breathing sort of heavily.
"You're not hurt are you?" She said, taking a step towards him.
"Me? No… but, I'm going to get a lot more bruises on my chest if you keep walking or running into me." Her eyes got wide. He gave a softer giggle. "I'm just kidding Usagi!" She scoffed, and hit him with a playful punch.
"So, Mamoru. Where are you heading off to?"
"Well, I'm going to the arcade."
"Oh? Really! Because, I was just going there."
"Really."
"Yes!"
"Well, might I add, you were going to wrong way. Probably the whole entire time."
"WHAT! No I was not!"
"Okay then, explain why you bumped into me."
"I--" Crap. I'm stuck. "Okay okay! You got me. Haha."
"Okay well, lets go together, we're almost there anyway." They began walking, slowly.
"Um, Mamoru? Do you remember S-Say-ori? The women I was talking to you about." She stalled/stuttered. Just saying her name just made her feel even worse. He narrowed his eyes, just a little bit.
"Oh, um. Yeah." Usako, don't you get it? Don't you see it? My heart is made for you!
"Well, she's meeting us at the arcade and, she really wants to meet you."
"Usagi… we need to ta-"
"Look! Sayori is talking to Motoki right now! C'mon, lets go!" She grabbed his hand, tugging him as they raced through the arcade.
"Whoa! Usagi!" He almost yelled, as she pulled him towards the counter.
"Hey Usagi! Oh, is this Mamoru?" Sayori said, she somewhat flipped her hair. "Oh uh, hey." Mamoru said, slightly blushing. Usagi saw the way he was looking at her. Jealously was almost taking over her. She pressed her lips together, and just wanted this to all end. Motoki just knew what was happening, just by looking at Usagi's emotion. He just set down the cup that he had just wiped.
"Oh, oops! I forgot. Um, Sayori this is Mamoru. Mamoru, this is Sayori." She said, while pointing to one another. They shook hands and, Sayori was delighted to see him. "Usagi, we really need to talk!" Mamoru whispered in Usagi's ear. She turned around and quietly said, "Not now! You guys need to talk, I'll leave you two alone. Look! There's a table over there. I'm going to talk to Motoki while you two have you're little 'chat'." Before he could say anything, she grabbed both of Sayori's hands, and made her stand up. She told her to go with Mamoru so they can have their little 'talk'. But as they both walked together, Mamoru looked at Usagi. She shrugged her shoulders. He just shook his head and kept walking. Usagi walked over to the counter, and put her arms on it, and put her head into her arms. Motoki tapped her on the head.
"Hey Usagi, you okay?" He said, still wiping his cups.
"I'm fine…" She said, while her head was still buried in her arms.
"Nuh-uh… c'mon Usagi. Just tell me, you'll know I'll understand." She lifted up her head, teary eyed. sniff
"I-I-I… I don't know what to do. This is weird telling this to his best friend…" Motoki set the cup on the counter.
"W-what? Do you… really like Mamoru? Like… as in… strong feelings?"
"Yes! But--"
"That's great!"
"What? Anyway, the thing is… I agreed to Sayori that I would hook them two up. And… I don't know what to do now since they will actually get together. But… I already know that Mamoru wouldn't take me more as a friend since I know what he would have lots of interest in Sayori. She's smart, pretty, and really funny. She's perfect for him…" She turned around, and saw them both laughing.
"No Usagi, your wrong," Sniff. "Mamoru loves you. He has been telling me all of these stories about you… he's just, really crazy over you." She turned and looked at him.
"If it really is true, he should have told me himself."
"He tried, many times. But, he was just too nervous and, he didn't want to get so stressed, especially from what happened to you a couple of weeks ago. Really though… couldn't you tell?"
"Well, I didn't actually think that it could be possible. But… you're saying that he wouldn't have interest in her what so ever?"
"Yup!"
"But… this can't happen. My word is my word."
"But Usagi--" Before he could finish what he was saying, Mamoru and Sayori both walked up beside Usagi. She tried wiping her tears away, just so they couldn't see. Motoki tried helping so, he pitched in the conversation so he could stall.
"Uh, hey you guys. Done talking already?"
"Yeah, it was great. It was nice meeting you Mamoru."
"It was nice meeting you too Sayori."
"I'll see you around." She said, while winking at him.
"Yeah um, bye." With that, she left. (A/N: If you find that my story is getting sloppy, I'm having trouble thinking lol)
Usagi stood up, not even looking at Mamoru. "Do you want to go to the park? You know, talk and stuff." She still didn't look at him.
"Yeah, sure. I guess, I still have time." She began walking out the door, and Mamoru followed her, concerned. He grabbed her arm and said, "Hey… you okay?"
"I'm fine." She smiled at him. That smile… just made his knees quiver.
"Now, lets go Mamoru!" She grabbed his arm, and headed to the park.
They both sat down on the bench. Feeling nature's breeze felt so… nice. The gentle cold breeze went through her long golden river like hair. She let out a sigh… still thinking of what just happened a couple minutes ago. But, Mamoru broke the silence.
"Usagi?" She looked into his blue sweet eyes.
"Y-yes?"
"You sure you're alright?"
She smiled. "Mm-hmm! I'm okay. Don't worry about me."
"Well… about Sayori…"
"Oh! Did you like her?"
"Well, I actually really do like her. But… not as much as someone else I really love." Well… I guess that since we're on the subject… I think that now is a good time to tell her now since, everything has been sorted out. Mamoru thought. (A/N:O! He's finally going to tell her! (smiles) )
"And… you said I know this person right?"
"Yes."
"Hmm… can you just tell me?" She said, very curiously.
"Well, now is the time." He grinned, while holding her hand. She blushed, and her mouth slightly dropped.
"Usako I--"
"Usako?" She repeated, questionably. That's so cute… she smiled.
"Yes, Usako. I think that now is a good time to tell you," gulp. "I… I love you."
"W-what?"
"That's right! I tried telling you so many times but… I didn't actually think that you would want to hear it. Since now that we're both in the park, alone. Maybe… right now isn't so perfect but, I just had to tell you."
"But… Mamoru… I don't know if this will actually work. Because, it seems like Sayori--"
"We both talked. And… she said that her old boyfriend came back and, wanted her back. And… the only reason why she wanted to talk was to tell me that. So, it's okay."
"Oh… Mamoru…"
"Usako… I love you." She practically pounced on him, and hugged him extremely tightly. "I… really didn't think that this day would come. I mean, c'mon. You're popular, and smart! I mean, you practically have the girls all over you!"
"I don't care about that. I don't go for… popularity, appearances and, anything other thing that you can think of. I love you for you."
"Mamo-chan!" She hugged him again, even tighter. Mamo-chan? That's cute. Mamoru thought to himself.
"Oh oops. I guess, I should have asked you on a date first."
"Oh, it's okay. No food is necessary." They both laughed. Usagi looked at her watch, looking at the time. Seven thirty…
"Mamo-chan?"
"Yes?"
"I… need to go home now. It's getting late."
"Okay, I'll walk you home."
"Okay."
He walked her up to the door. He led her up the steps but, before she opened the door, she turned around, and held both of his hands.
"I have to be honest… that moment in the park… is so far the best time I ever had. Like I said… I really didn't think that this day would ever come. I just wanted to let you know that."
"How come you thought that this day would never come?"
"Well… I don't know. I guess it's because… well. There are lots of smart, and beautiful women out there. But, behind all that. I'm just glad you chose me." The both smiled. She turned around to walk into her house but, he stopped her. He turned her around and gently kissed her soft, rosy cheek. She blushed intensely and, he smiled. Maybe… they were really meant for each other. Don't you think?
