Chapter 89 - Things She Wanted (2/2)

”I didn't know you thought about me like that,” Kazuya admitted, ”I was a bit shocked.”

Ah, on the way here they passed some villagers who asked about their relationship. Lyn sighed, ”If I didn't give that speech, those girls would have clung to you,” the reason that couple asked, was simply for their daughters who were lingering behind them. ”Their intentions were clear; they wanted to steal you away.”

Kazuya laughed, ”I see now, I'm very oblivious to these things. So you'll have to keep watch for me.”

Ah, she knew it! She really does have to be careful.

”But do you think anybody can steal me away from you? In the sixteen years, I've lived, the only person who has been able to sway my heart is you,” Kazuya squeezed her hands, ”Do you understand?”

”I understand,” she really does. If Kazuya's, 'love' for her was something that could be stolen away. Then she wouldn't have accepted him. It's because she saw how sincere and genuine his feelings for her, that she accepted his hand in the first place, ”But, you have to look at things from my perspective too.”

Kazuya nodded, ”Yeah, I understand. However, it's not just you with the jealousy thing.”

Lyn froze at his words, is he still bothered by Rhys? Nothing can happen between them. 'Such an idiot,' Lyn thought. But she kept that thought to herself. She let's go of his hand and instead grabbed hold of his arm, Lyn rested her head there, and a content sigh passed her lips, ”I do want to get to know you better Kazuya.”

”Yeah, don't worry. We still have plenty of time.”

Time, huh?

There are so many things she wanted back then. That lonely girl devoided of all life, wanted quite a few things. Perhaps it was because she was all alone in that room for so long, with practically nothing but her work out clothes and a broken blanket. However, back then, Lyn had plenty of time to think, about her current circ.u.mstances, about the things she wanted to change her situation.

A warm home.

A place where everybody smiles.

People who would accept her, family, and friends who would get angry for her sake, smile for her sake.

And, her gaze fell on Kazuya, somebody who loves her. It's strange even now, even though she wanted all those things. Lyn didn't think she would get it. Though the third one is still a work in progress, her life is filled with such warmth now.

”Shall we go back, Lyn?”

”En, let's go,” Lyn murmured. Even if this is only temporarily, and will be taken from her the moment he leaves. Lyn will forever treasure these beautiful memories.
