Our Lives Together

Chapter 23

The two lovers were back at home and sat down together on the couch. It was quiet for a moment and Yuzu looked over at Mei who seemed a bit worried. She took a deep breath before letting out a soft sigh
"Mei...what happened back there?" Yuzu asked and Mei kept her head down before trembling a bit. She only looked away avoiding Yuzu's eyes
"Are you like this because...of your ex?" Yuzu asked and Mei lifted her head up
"Wh-what? You know?" Mei asked
"Well...I've known for a while now" Yuzu said slightly nervous
"H-huh? Wait, how? Who told you?" Mei asked
"No one did. Uhm...well...I might've bumped into her one day" Yuzu said
"What? And you didn't tell me?!" Mei exclaimed
"C-calm down. I didn't want to tell you because...well I was somewhat worried if you'd feel uncomfortable" Yuzu said
"Wh-when? When did you bump into her? Did she tell you anything?" Mei asked
"Uhh remember the day we all went out with our friends?" Yuzu asked and Mei nodded
"I bumped into her in the restroom and...she introduced herself as her ex. I don't know what kind of reaction she expected from me but I really didn't care. She's probably jealous that I'm with you..." Yuzu said
"...she didn't hurt you right?" Mei asked
"Nope and even if she did I'd get her back. Now enough about that. Tell me what happened back there" Yuzu said and Mei took a deep breath then sighed
"Things didn't end so well between us. I don't want to go in full detail but...it was more like she never cared for me or ever loved me. She probably hated me because of how popular and good life I had. So she asked me out and I said yes because I liked her too. I thought everything would be alright until...Riana appeared and took her attention. From there everything went downhill. They both...ruined my life and it got worse because of that one incident. I...I got scared of her but luckily she moved away along with Riana. Once they were both gone from my life I did my best to forget about it all and move forward. I thought it would've been fine but...when Riana came back. It brought back memories that I tried to forget. That's why I started behaving quite...differently" Mei said
"Back there...what really happened?" Yuzu asked and Mei trembled before clenching her fists tightly
"Sh-she's stalking me. I-I bet she knows where we live or what I'm doing. I-I was hoping to never see her again but I can't escape...sh-she is going to ruin everything again. I-I...I'm scared if she plans on hurting you..." Mei said, tearing up a bit and Yuzu cupped her cheek before kissing her softly. Mei blushed deeply and kissed her back. The two women shared a passionate kiss and pulled away after a minute. Mei felt Yuzu's hand on her cheek and enjoyed the warmth from her hand
"Mei, look at me" Yuzu said and Mei's lavender eyes met with Yuzu's
"You're not alone, Mei. I'm here for you and whatever happens I'll be there for you. I won't let her hurt you. If that bitch dares to hurt you or ruin our relationship...I promise I'll beat the shit out of her and tell her to never show her face to us ever again. I'll be sure that you're happy and safe with me. I'll keep my promise by making sure you live a wonderful life with me. We'll be happy together forever..." Yuzu said and her hand. Mei looked at her hand seeing the ring and smiled a little before hugging Yuzu. She rested her head against her shoulder and clinged onto her
"I'm so happy I met you..." Mei whispered softly
"I'm also happy that I met you and have you as my girlfriend" Yuzu said and hugged her
"Can we lie down?" Mei asked and Yuzu nodded before lying on the bed with Mei in her arms still. The cute couple held each other closely and were able to hear their heartbeats
"Hey Mei. Have you told anyone else?" Yuzu asked
"The only one who knows about this is Himeko since she was there to witness everything" Mei said
"What about your parents? Shouldn't you have told them?" Yuzu asked
"I didn't want to deal with it anymore but somehow my mother found out. I told her to not do anything about it since it's over...but guess she won't be keeping that promise anymore if Isha keeps bothering me" Mei said
"Let's hope she gives up and we never see her again. I won't leave your side ever again..." Yuzu said and Mei cuddled her
"I love you, Yuzu" Mei said
"I love you too, Mei" Yuzu said
I'll make sure she doesn't try to do anything to us…
