Chapter 317 - An excuse (1/2)

*UNEDITED*

This guy makes her so angry at times. However, Akito is the only one who knows her. In this place, he is the only one who truly understands her. Not even Yang understands her this well. ”You don't have to worry about me, the nightmares aren't that bad anymore,” she mumbled. ”So, please don't come here...”

Akito smiled bitterly, ”You know it's just an excuse. I want to spend time with you and see you more...”

Well, she knows that. Setsura gently caressed his cheeks. ”Tell me something Akito, why do you look so tired these days?”

”Because, I miss you.”

”Are you trying to guilt trip me? Do you know how unpleasant that is?”

He chuckled, and removed her hands from his face. Akito slowly shifted their positions so he was on top of her. Setsura however didn't bat an eyelid, ”This position is quite something.”

”It is right? It's very nice.”

”Akito, tell me why you came here...”

”Let me kiss you Setsura.”

Like she would actually say yes to that. Setsura didn't say a word but Akito bent down and kissed her. It was a brief kiss and yet, somehow - it went a bit overboard for her liking. A slow kiss, a slight nible there before he pried her mouth open. He slid his tongue inside her mouth, and their tongues collided.

After kissing for so long, Setsura found herself completely red and out of breath. Her flushed face accompanied by her unsteady breathing made her look like a woman in ecstasy. For a moment she saw Akito's lips turn into a slight smirk. Yet, this expression changed so quickly.

”Sorry, overboard,” he pulled back from her. ”I just wanted to kiss you, but I need to think things through a bit.”

Akito looked strangely nervous. Setsura didn't know what to think. She never saw him like this before. Is he worried that she would hate him? It's true he is overstepping some boundaries. But, if she weren't so insistent on pushing him away to the point she dated another guy then.. 'She wouldn't dislike the attention he gives her.' Even long before they dated, Setsura liked it whenever Akito paid so much attention to her.

”Setsura, please give me another chance.”

At that comment, Setsura froze. 'He finally said it.' She knew it was a matter of time before he proposed that question to her again. After all, Akito came here every single day. Naturally, he has hidden intentions. Setsura however didn't mind that at all. It's okay if he does have attentions. She also wants to spend a little more time with him. When she returns to the future, and then comes back to the past. Things will be different again. Setsura wanted to hug and kiss him back, she wanted to tell him that she would take him back.

The relationship with Yang is just for show, they aren't a proper couple anymore. She often stays at her apartment than return to Yang's home. While Setsura still liked him, when she thought about her feelings for both guys. She felt very guilty, the one she loves is Akito.

Setsura didn't turn him down, instead she...

”Can you give me some time? Give me a week or so, I'll...answer you then.”

At that comment, Akito's eyes widened and he wrapped his arms around her. ”Thank you so much.”

It was just a single hug and yet Setsura felt so overwhelmed. She really wanted to cry, but she quickly shook that thought away. She moved away from Akito's arms, ”Are you hungry?”
