Chapter 5

I never looked back as I ran.

I was aware people are looking at me, who could blame them if they so a woman with a ripped top.

Also that looks like a zombie from a horror movie.

I was feeling sick inside, my stomach twisting in agony.

Feeling down, I remembered, I can't give up.

After running 5 more minutes, I saw Kippei apartment.

I felt much better.

Right, I will just walk up and…..

What will I say?

I never noticed that I was standing outside his apartment.

Shit.

I quickly knocked and waited.

After what felt like forever the door opened.

Kippei was surprised when he saw me, who could blame him. I look like a mess.

I don't know why, but I just started to cry.

I was still clutching my top.

When I let go of it, Kippei was shocked of what he saw.

'Haruhi, come inside' he said.

I nodded and went in.

'Take a seat; I will make you some tea'

I didn't say anything but just sat down.

It was my first time in Kippei apartment.

He really has a nice place, he has lots of books which was the first thing I noticed.

I was thinking how come someone who has a big place lives by themselves.

Maybe he has a lover?

Everyone knows Kippei is not married. He isn't the type of person to talks about themselves.

When I was still thinking, Kippei came with the tea.

'Thank you, I hope I am not intruding' I asked

Kippei laughed.

'Of course not, no one lives here except me, I have no girlfriend so what is the problem'

It's like he just read my mind.

I was feeling weird inside.

I took a sip, hoping I will feel better.

'Haruhi, I am just going to get to the point, what the hell happened?

I felt nervous all over again.

'I told Kochi I wanted a divorce, and we started to argue'

'And' Kippei said.

I took a deep breath.

I fully explained what had happened.

All of a sudden there was a loud crash.

Kippei knocked his tea on the floor.

KIPPEI!

'Are you alright, I will get something to clean the mess with'

I got up to look for something to clean when Kippei suddenly grabbed me.

As I said before, Kippei is much gentler than Kochi.

Kippei just hugged me.

I was shocked.

What is he thinking?

I tried to let go, but he just kept holding me tightly.

It didn't hurt at all. It felt nice.

I leaned on his chest and I can hear his heart beating.

Also I can hear mine.

The hug felt like eternity.

I didn't want to let go.

But eventually Kippei released me from his embrace.

He just looked at me.

'I want to kill that bastard' Kippei growled.

'Kippei, violence won't solve anything' I said.

I was panicking; I did not want Kippei to hurt Kochi because of me.

'He hurt you Haruhi; I can't forgive him for that'

'Kippei, why do you care so much about me?

Kippei went red.

Oh my goodness.

Kippei took a deep breath.

'I am in love with you Haruhi, and I want you to leave your husband for me'

I blushed.

No one in my entire life has said something like that before, not even my jerk of a husband.

I was thinking about Kippei, thinking how I always loved him.

He got transferred in my work place two months ago, which I was already married.

Kippei was always nice to me, and I felt really happy about that.

I never noticed that Kippei was still looking at me.

He is waiting for me to answer I thought.

I looked in Kippei eyes and answered.

'I love you too Kippei, I smiled.

And with that Kippei gently kissed me on the lips.

'Just so you know, you are not going home tonight, he declared.

'I wasn't going to' I grinned.

Kippei chuckled.

He scooped me off my feet at took me to bed.

And you all know what will happen, don't you :D
