Author's note: Thanks for the reviews! I hoped you have enjoyed reading and really sorry for the slow updates. Here's the next chapter  Remember, it's all in Tsukushi's POV.

Chapter 4

I sat on the swing in the playground near our house. I was waiting for Tsukasa to give me a good explanation about his love with a married woman. The playground brought back good old memories of Tsukasa and me. We used to come here everyday after school when we were kids. I remembered how I loved to play the swing and how the other kids would never let me have a go on the swing. I would wait for Tsukasa to come and help me 'persuade' the other kids to let me play on the swing.

'Tsukushi, did you wait for a long time?' Tsukasa asked as he ran towards me. He was late for half an hour. 'I had to send her home.'

I gave Tsukasa a cold stare. 'You had to send a married woman home?' I asked, sarcastically and in disbelief. 'Tsukasa, you better give me a good explanation, or I swear I'll tell on you, friend or no friend.'

'Did you remember the day we were supposed to meet here and then to the movies?'

'You mean 2 months ago?'

'Yes! We were supposed to meet here till you rang me up last minute and told me you were watching the movie with your stupid 2 timing ex-boyfriend!' Tsukasa replied, with a little anger in his voice. I supposed the fact that I chose my boyfriend over him, upset his ego.

'Okay, there's no need for you to get so agitated and stop reminding me about him and the fact that he two-timed me!' I retorted. 'What about that day?'

'Well, after you told me that you weren't coming, I decided to leave. But then, I saw Momoko crying on the swing. I don't know why, I couldn't leave her crying so I sat next to her. We started to chat and I found out that she was upset because she had caught her husband cheating on her.'

'Her husband cheated on her?!' I asked, raising my tone. I hate men who cheat! They are so irresponsible.

'Yes, and when she asked her husband why he was cheating, he got rough on her.'

'What?! How could he?! That's the worse thing a man could do!' I was angry, very angry. How could he behave so ungentlemanly? Especially so after he was caught cheating! 'Did you do anything?'

'Of course! I tracked her husband down and gave him a good thrashing!' he said happily, clenching his fist to show his happiness.

'That's the way to go man. Don't have to be too nice to such man!' I gave him a pat on the back, rewarding him for his heroic act. 'Was that how it began?'

'Yes. After the incident, we met several times, and had lunch together. She works at the florist just opposite the restaurant and so I started working at the restaurant so I could meet her.'

'Why don't you just work at the florist?'

'Are you crazy? I'm a man. How would I look if I were to work at the florist?'

'I get the point,' I giggled as the picture of Tsukasa holding different kinds of flowers popped into my head. Tsukasa working at the florist? that would be so gay! 'You could always buy flowers from the florist, that way you wouldn't have to work as a waiter.'

'I can't. Momoko does not know that I'm rich. She feels bad now being together with me. She always joked that she feels like a witch, seducing a young man whenever she is with me. If I were to tell her that I'm rich, I can't imagine what would become the two of us.'

'You can't lie to her forever. She's bound to know one day.'

'I know. I'll tell her the truth, I'm just trying to find the right time. Meanwhile, keep everything about Momoko and me to yourself. I trust you okay?'

'No problem. But I hope you know what you are doing,' I promised Tsukasa to keep his relationship a secret. Perhaps it was because Momoko's a married woman; I don't feel happy that Tsukasa is now attached. I feel kind of lonely that my best friend is now someone else's boyfriend. I can't run to him now if I have problems, can I? After all, his no longer just mine.

R&R please!
