✰~My Forbidden Lover~✰ (Maki x Kaede)

✰~Chapter 3~✰

"D-dad!?" Kaede panicked.

"Father!?" I quickly stood up out of shock, was this an ambush? Did Kaede trick me?

My father quickly walked over and grabbed me tightly by my wrist, Kaede's father doing the same to Kaede.

"What're you doing with an Akamatsu!?" My father barked in my face.

"We were having a competition! Akamatsu suggested we have a competition! Right, Akamatsu!?" I snarled at Kaede to make it seem like we really did hate each other.

"Y-yeah! I suggested we have a competition!" Kaede nodded, trying to get out of her father's grip.

"At a ramen shop!?" Kaede's father glared at Kaede, I'm guessing she really liked ramen.

"Yup! I said to my friend that I could eat ramen and never be full, I'm guessing Akamatsu found out, and so she challenged me!" It felt weird to be saying Kaede's last name infront of her dad, but that was the thing between the Akamatsu family and Harukawa family's rivalry, we either didn't know, didn't care, or never bothered to learn the others first names.

"Oh really..? Maki, you don't particularly like ramen. Last time I brought you to a ramen shop, you almost puked in disgust." My father glared at me, he knew I was lying, because he was telling the truth of how I didn't really like ramen all too much.

"That's the thing! That's what I thought that too! But then I went over here, and the ramen is delicious!" I was now telling the truth.

My father let go of my wrist, I quickly started to massage my wrist as it stung from my father's tight grip.

"Akamatsu, are you going to let go of your daughter? It seems my daughter has cleared it up.. Is your daughter really so useless that she can't speak up or even try to defend herself?" My dad laughed.

"Damn.. You little-!" Kaede's dad let go of Kaede's wrist, looking like he was going to swing at my dad.

"Stop it! Both of you! Leave Akamatsu alone!" I quickly covered my mouth, realizing what I had just said.

"Harukawa..?" Kaede's dad said looking confused, Kaede looked shocked, and my dad looked so angry that'd his eyes could pop out of his head any second now.

"Maki, you little..!" My dad raised his arm like he was going to hit me, but quickly changed his mind as he grabbed my arm and started to pull me out of the restaurant, me struggling to get out of his grip.

"Let me go!" I yelled, I tried to dig my nails into his skin but he wouldn't let go of me. "Let go! Let me go!"

My dad threw me into the car, closing and locking the door as I tried to open the door and bang on the windows in an attempt to get out.

But it was useless, as my dad banged on the car, signaling the driver to start driving away.

It felt like a movie.

A stupid movie.
