Chapter 333 - Am I that untrustworthy? (2/2)
Setsura doesn't say a word and laid down on the bed. She had a long day and just wanted to sleep it off. There has to be some way to find out if Yang is cheating on her.
____
When he hears the bed covers shift, he knows the girl is awake. She's always been somewhat sensitive to the cold even when it's only a light breeze. He knows she's mad because she isn't turning to face him at all or saying anything”...Listen, I'm sorry.”
Nothing but silence. No matter how much he tries, though, Setsura wouldn't respond at all to his apologies. Had it been another girl, he would have given up already, but she's no normal girl.
”Enough. Don't be so down. I've been apologizing for a while now, haven't I? Come on; you can't have your back to me forever. Turn around already.”
Setsura didn't budge an inch.
”...”
Yang sighs, ”What can I possibly do here...”
Even though his mind had settled down, he knew from the way the girl wasn't even turning to face him that she was really mad. Gee, what is he supposed to do in a time like this? That guy always did say he can't handle girls. Come to think of it, he also gave him advice,' Try saying their name. No matter how angry they are they will respond.' ”Hey. Please...at least say something.”
”... I'm angry.”
It worked, but it didn't have the effect he intended it to.
”What...?”
”I said I'm angry!” Setsura snapped. She looked furious, and Yang knew he did it this time.
”That's why I'm apologizing…I didn't mean to overdo it. It was bound to happen, right? With you taking his side, I just couldn't stop the brakes,” Yang knew his apology sounded half-hearted. But what could he do about it? Lately, they keep fighting a lot. Yang kissed her shoulders gently, and mumbled, ”I do like you a lot, so try to understand my feelings here.”
”Then try to understand my feelings too whenever you act this way. How am I supposed to feel? Yang, are you cheating on me or not? Tell me directly.”
”I'm not, do you think I would?”
Is he that untrustworthy in her eyes? ”Am I that untrustworthy to you?”
At that comment, Setsura's expression changed, ”That's not it, Yang.”
Isn't it, though? Sure he made that one mistake. Sure, that was his fault, and he won't make an excuse. However, doesn't she trust him? He already promised that it wouldn't happen anymore. Is that enough? What else does he have to do to show he is sincere? His thoughts broke off when Setsura suddenly got on top of him. She traced his lips with her fingers.
”It's not that your untrustworthy, the one who is untrustworthy here is me. I no longer trust my own heart, Yang. Loving me further will hurt you.”
”I told you before; nothing will change my mind.”
...
Yang finished placing kisses on her shoulders and watched as Setsura played with the bubbles in the bath. It was a strange suggestion coming from her. She doesn't like getting n.a.k.e.d in front of him often. He understood it was due to her complex against men, that's why he was patient with her this whole time. However, when he saw how close she got with Chauncey Long - Yang felt very irritated. Why did they suddenly get so close? As far as Yang knew, Setsura disliked the man.
Then again, Yang never asked Setsura why she hated him.
”Setsura, come closer to me.”
Setsura rolled her eyes, ”At least let me have a peaceful bath.”
”I won't do anything.”
She edged closer, and he buried his face in her chest. Setsura raked her hands through his hair. ”Lately, you seem uneasy. I know you are working very hard on the case. But do not push yourself too much.”
”And yourself? You're always working hard.”
”I'm just doing my best, despite the circ.u.mstances.”
Despite the circ.u.mstances, huh?
