CHAPTER 4: WINTER CHOCOLATE

I felt guiltier after listening to Dino. "So it was me after all." I said, tears welling up. Dino walked towards me. "It's not your fault. He tried to comfort me. "But it was me, Dino. If I did not appear in his life, if I had not loved him!" I cried. I can't hold it anymore. All this while I was pretending to be strong and have the 'I don't mind' face, but the truth is I really do care. I felt jealous every time Colonello-san talked to Luche sensei. And I wanted to get more attention from that man.

"It's not too late, Lal-chan. My brother is still at his office, I guess." Dino said, smiling at me. Wiping my tears, I smile back. "Thank you, Dino. I rejected you but you still help me..." I said gratefully. Dino smiled. "I'll wait till the day you left my brother." He smiled. "Now, go." Then he turns to pack his violin.

"I promise you we'll practice tomorrow, Dino!" I said as I ran out. Dino waved back and smiled.

I ran through the corridors and to the teacher's room. Then I barged in and saw Colonello-san sitting on his desk, looking through the files. "Colonello!" I called out. He looked up, shocked. "Lal...?" I ran towards him and hugged him. "What is it, kora? Why are you crying?" he asked, stroking my hair. "Sorry, Colonello. I...I love you too." I confessed, blushing. Colonello-san looked shocked. Then he smiled and hugs me back. "Idiot. I knew that already. I love you too." He said, pulling away. Cupping my face with his hands, he stared into my eyes.

"You're so beautiful, Lal." He said and I blushed even more. His face drew closer to me. And this time I didn't resist like the time when he wanted to kiss me in front of the mall. When our lips touched, I felt an excited feeling tingling all over my body. I pull him nearer, drawing the kiss deeper. He pulled my waist closer and plunged his tongue into my mouth. I didn't resist and kissed back.

"Wow, Christmas is finally here!" Colonello-san said as he looked up, looking as the snow fell down. It was 26 December and it was Christmas. We were in Colonello-san's house celebrating Christmas. And Bianchi was there too, with Romeo of course. Dino finally found a girl of his dreams, Haru. And Luche seems to be accepting the fate too. And she was there with her new boyfriend, Reborn. I was happy that everything turns out at last.

When I was washing the dishes, Colonello-san approached me by hugging my waist from behind. "What is it, perverted sensei?" I said, putting down the washing clothe. Colonello-san released me and I turned around. He handed me a large heart-shaped box. I wiped my hands at the apron and stared. "What is it?" I asked, taking the box. "Open it, kora." He said, smiling. And when I open, I turned pale white.

"CHOCOLATES?!" I screamed. "Yeah, why?" Colonello-san asked, smiling. "That day at the mall you seem to like it so...I bought a bigger one for you." He said, blushing.

I took a look at the chocolates again and passed out.

Lal Mirch's note: Please guys. Not every girl likes chocolates! Some may passed out after smelling that extra sweet smell, like me! If you love your girlfriend, don't, don't give her a chocolate.

Colonello : But...you seem to like it...

Lal Mirch : I'm sorry to hurt you but the truth is I don't!

P/S: FINALLY~ PLEASE REVIEW GUYS...THANK YOU! MERRY CHRISTMAS!
