Chapter 9_Party Again?
Shiny
Beautiful
Just two of us
Soul and Maka were dancing that night. Songs were being played continuously, but they didn't stop. Dance, dance, dance, so beautiful, just the two of them.
Wes was happy to see them like that. Even though, there were some problem, but they enjoyed themselves. The party was great, there were food and drink, the twins that played song, and the pair that danced romantically. He smiled when he looked to the couple, they remind him to the memories in the past. His parents were used to be like them before Soul was born. When Wes were playing at the piano, they were dancing in the ballroom. They were so happy. 'What things make them like this now?' Wes sighed.
The song was stopped. Wes realized that his parent came into the ballroom. Gerard and Lisa were wearing formal clothes. They walked hand by hand. Soul and Maka shocked and stopped their dance. Gerard and Lisa walked to their direction. Gerard stood in front of Maka.
"What do you want from Maka!?" Soul changed his arm to scythe and point it to his dad. But Gerard bowed himself and said.
"I'm sorry for my behavior that uncontrolled that night." Then he raised his body and left. Lisa smiled to them and left too. Soul, Maka, Wes, and the twins remained silent after that. Suddenly, Maka ran to Soul's father and said.
"Ehm.. Soul's father?"
"Just call me Gerard little girl." He smiled
'He isn't that scary actually.' Maka thought.
"Ah... Gerard-san, thank you, for your concern, I'm alright." Maka showed her smiled.
"Good then, I'm just a little bit crazy last night, I lose my cool."
'So this is where Soul got his cool words, hehehe'
"Do you want something from me?"
"Yes, can we talk about something later?"
"Sure, but not this night. This night, let's enjoyed ourselves .So, don't make your boyfriend wait too long. Hahahaha"
"Hehehe"
Then Maka ended their conversations and go to Soul.
"Do you alright? Is he done anything wrong to you?"
"I'm alright, Soul. Hehehe. Just a little talk."
"Oh, okay . So, let's continue this?"
"Of course!"
So they danced until midnight. Maka was sitting on the chair, while Soul was taking drink for her. When Soul returned she was slept peacefully. Soul smiled and placed the drink on the floor. He carried her bridal style to their room. When he arrived at his room, he placed Maka on the bed and changed his clothes into pajamas. He woke up Maka to changed her clothes.
"Maka, Maka. Wake up, dear."
"Umm..."
" You must changed your clothes, it might not be comfortable for you."
"Umm…"
"Do you want me to changed it for you?"
"Umm… Nooo!" Maka woke up and sat on the bed, she was fully awake and bright red. Soul just smiled at her and prepared to go to bed. Maka changed her clothes as fast as she can and slept beside Soul, before they slept, Soul turned his body to Maka and held his hand onto her. Maka gasped.
"Do you enjoy the party?"
"Yes, very much! Even, I found out that your father not as that bad." Maka smiled.
"Hmm… Well, whatever you want." He parted their hand and return to slumber.
Maka thought. 'Soul… I worried about you. I want to break you free.' And with that she fell to slumber to.
Knock knock
"Uhm… Who is it?"
"Good morning, you two! Ready for breakfast?" Wes called out.
Soul and Maka got up and prepared for breakfast. Maka changed her clothes in the bath room and Soul changed in the room.
"Soul, have you finished yet?" She said while she was opening the bath room's door.
"hmm…"
"Kyaaa! Soul! You haven't finished yet!" She screamed and entered bath room once again. She saw it. Soul was just wearing his boxers and topless. She blushed as red as a tomato.
"Aww… Maka… who have told you that I've finished? Hahahaha"
"MAKAAA-CHOP!"
"Heyy, it's hurts!"
"Come on you two. Our parents are waiting for us, you know." Wes smiled at them.
"Ah, alright! We're coming! Come on, Soul!"
"Who start this first actually?" he grinned but stopped it because Maka glared at him.
Lisa, Gerard, Wes, Maka and Soul ate some egg and bacon. A normal dishes, Maka thought it would be like some food that was served last night. The twins were return to their home after the party finished.
They ate silently, maybe because of Gerard. Soul doesn't like Gerard after all. He hurt her and hurt himself to. A long ago, Gerard made him to play piano but he never praised him. He just praised his brother, Wes. When Soul knew that he is a weapon, his dad didn't care although Soul left home.
"Soul… Soul!"
"Huh? What is it Maka?"
"What are you daydreaming about?"
"Ah… It's just some childhood's memory."
"I see…" She worried, what if Soul has gone uncontrolled again? But she put aside that thought and just smiled to him.
'I will find out the truth. I will find out why Gerard was so mean back then…'
In the afternoon, Gerard and Lisa were having a tea time at the garden. They talked to each other and laughed sometimes. What a beautiful sight….
' I hope my parents were like that.' Maka thought.
She was at the garden too but she stopped her feet when she saw that one. Her memory jumped back at her parents. Not every child has a perfect family and Maka just one of that child.
"Maka-chan? Why are you just standing there? Come and join us!" Gerard called her and Maka aware of it.
"Ahh… Gerard-san, sorry, I was spacing out."
"Nah… Nah… it's not good for you to daydreaming at this afternoon."
"Sorry... Hehehe" Gerard looked at his wife and Lisa understood that she must go.
"I will make the maid make us tea and cookies more." Lisa suddenly spoke and went.
"Now, just the two of us here. You must be want to hear the truth, huh?"
"Yes, sir. I want to know about you and Soul."
"Alright, I promised you back then and I won't take back my promised. Ready?"
"Yes"
