"Wanna dance?" Her soft, feminine voice resounded.
"What!" He turned to face the twins again but his gaze remained on Itsumi.
"Wanna dance?" She asked again.
"Umm no. I–I... " without waiting for his reply, Itsumi pushed him to the center of the living room and left him there.
He turned to look at her and they had a eye battle. It was more like "I want to leave the dance floor!" and Itsumi replied with her eyes wide open and threatening, "Don't you dare!"
Resigning to his fate, Sasuke sighed and made his way to the group of friends. Sakiko saw him approach and took some steps towards him.
"Dance with me Sasuke."
The DJ played a new song. It was an old school jam in the 90's, Honey, Honey, Honey by ABBA.
"But I... I... there are too many eyes around Sakiko!"
"You just had to tell her didn't you!""Sachi it's okay, anyone can make such mistake. We are not mad at you Noriko." Ayumi flashed her a warm smile."Huh... Duh! Speak for yourself Ayumi, I am mad at her," Sachi added."Same here," Bashira chimed in.Notiko's eyes began to tear at what her friends said."Sachi!" Reina exclaimed."What?!""Let it go girls. What's happened has happened. Let's not dwell on it. Noriko, it's okay. We are not angry alright?" Ayumi assured her again."Easy for you to say, this party pooper wouldn't be here, if not for her," Bashira replied, pointing at Mari.By now they had already ignored Mari and conversed alone. "Excuse me! Even if she hadn't spilled the beans, I would have found out. Did you guys really think you could hide it from me? Haha haha.""You are re
"Yeah and you didn't want to bet right, you were confident in yourself too," Reina spat those words at her friend, well ex-friend."Why shouldn't I be? It's a matter of time. She can't have him." She had a smuggled look on her face as she spoke."You are simply terrible. Baka!!""Whatever, gonna have fun, ciao," Mari said and walked away from them."Whatever, gonna have fun, ciao!" Ayumi mimicked her after she left and they burst out laughing.Mari turned her head to face the noisy bunch, "Hmm, whatever, rubbish bunch," she hissed and made her way somewhere else."Attention everybody!" Mr Ishida called out as he held a glass of juice in his hands.He made his way to the front of the dining table to address everyone. "Thank you for honouring this invitation and I hope everyone is enjoying themselves?""Yes!" everyone shouted."That's better. I have an announcement to make, well more like a question but whichever way it goes," everyone laughed at his funny disposition."Alright, enough d
"Really!!""Yeah," he replied her, but she felt a weight on her head ad he said that."How about My Romantic Prince?" She suddenly asked. Sasuke pondered, "Or My Prince Romantic?" She added."Nahh, My Romantic Prince and My Romantic Princess is better."The both started laughing at their cheesiness."Princess Sakiko, at your service your highness," he gave a mocking bow."Sasuke, come on let's go," Fr. Tanaka yelled."I'm coming Father," he tried to peck her but she evaded his lips just in time and hugged him instead. "You're so stubborn, Sakiko. Bye."He let go of her and ran towards the car waiting for him."Bye Sasuke, I'll miss you and Prince, my regards to him okay!" She yelled after him as he entered the car."Phew!"Her mind went back
The last day of their break, Sasuke went to visit Sakiko. He got into the compound and greeted the Gardner, then made his way to the entrance of the house.When he got to the front door, he rang the doorbell and in a matter of seconds, someone opened the door.He saw a giddy girl before him. She had round eyes, pert pink lips, pointed average size nose, a perfect cheekbone and asymmetrical V- shape faced.She looked just like Sakiko, but the difference was her shorter hair which reached below her breast, her nose, lips, of which hers was more full and her eyes, they were a shade of dark brown.She wore a short pink skirt and a black top with her name written boldly on it."Itsumi," he read out loud."Yup, that me," she smiled and winked at him."Hehe, good morning Itsumi," he greeted her while still standing outside.
"I'm sorry if I had annoyed you Sakiko, please forgive me. I need you to forgive me," he apologized as he went to sit on the bed with her."You can go meet Mari, after all we are siblings Sasuke, so no need feeling all bad. Please go."A tear slid down her face as she made that statement."I can't Sakiko, I don't love her, it's you I... " she cut him shut and shouted at him."Don't you get it?! You cannot love me, Sasuke.""Not her either. She pushes herself on me a lot, I'd rather stay here and beg than go to her party.""It's her birthday and she invited you and not me, so go and meet her and love her alright!" She sat down close to the headboard and rested her back."No Sakiko. How can you tell the person you love, the only person who made you so happy and smile to go? Would you be happy again as when we are together?"
As soon as Sasuke left, Itachi and Itsumi shook their head."Second time he is leaving Sakiko and you're not going to meet him." Itsumi said to her with her hands on her waist."Don't blame anyone but yourself when you are not happy."Immediately Sakiko got up from her bed and ran to meet Sasuke."That worked out well," Itachi said."It took all that for her to open up, ahh! my little sis sure is a babe," Itsumi face palmed herself.Sakiko saw him about to go down the flight of stairs and rushed to grab his hand."I'm sorry, please stay. Don't go, don't leave me please. We only just found each other, do you really want to end it all? Please Sasuke," she apologized."Don't worry, you do not need me, you said so remember?""I only said you should leave me alone, I didn't
"Yes, I am very sure. You're stuck with me" she gave him a toothed smile."Okay, seeing is believing.""Wait, except you... You wouldn't dare!""Trust me, I would. All I have to do is raise you as your legs are in between mine, so its very simple" she hugged him tightly. "Now you're overdoing it.""Wait a minute, why would my father care if you leave? In fact, I am not buying it, you can go tell him.""That would be due to the fact that I was staying, but now I am leaving.""What do you mean by that? Like, stay for today?""For the whole week but not any more considering you've driven me away.""How did my dad know and where is your box?""Fr. Tanaka called to inform him and my box is right outside.""What! How is that possible? I didn't see any luggage when... ""Itsumi come over here and see" Itachi interrupted her.He was standing by the window and he coul
"What!?" Sakiko asked more like exclaimed."We are all invited, you too Itachi, Itsumi-chan. Sakiko we need to take our bath and get changed, you cried a lot and we are both sweaty.""Okay, put your box in the wardrobe at the adjourning room and take your bath in the bathroom there while in use here" she pointed to her bathroom."Okay, thanks" he picked his luggage and walked to the other room.They got in, took their bath and changed.Thirty minutes later, Sasuke was done with dressing up and left through the door in his room to the living room."Sakiko! Come down already" he called her after some minutes."Oh Sasuke, you're here too. Itsumi went to change as well and I'm the first one here. I wonder what takes girls forever in dressing up."Just then, Itsumi and Sakiko stepped out and walked down the stairs.
