4. Living with who?

My parents left me and now I have no place to go. Why? Why did they have to leave me? I'm only 15 years! I can't live on my own. I can't even get a job! I just sat there and cried.

"M'lady.." "gO AWAY!" I yelled at Isamu for no reason. Isamu looked confused and worried at me. "I'm sorry.. It's not your fault." I said. Isamu hugged me "Don't worry Sumi. I will help you". "But where should I stay? I have no place to stay.. I'm not even old enough to live on my own! I have school and I can't work all day!" Isamu patted my head, he said "Calm down, Sumiko, you can stay at my place until we find someone that can look after you." I looked up at him with joy "R-really? I don't want to trouble you!" "No really. I do want to stay at my place." Isamu was.. Blushing? "If you really want me to stay I will stay at your place then." Isamu looked surprised. Maybe because I don't really like sleeping at others houses, especially if it was a boy. He was probably guessing that I would say no.

At Isamu's place.

We were about to open the door until.. "Oh welcome sweetie! Did you bring a friend over? Or is it your.." She leaned close over to him. And she whispered something that made his face to a tomato. "NO MOTHER! I-I MEan- no mother. Not yet." I was confused and curious what she said to him. "L-lets just go inside. I will show you around." Isamu took my hand and walked a little faster until we couldn't see his mother.

----in Isamu's room----

"Hey.. Are you alright?" I asked. Isamu was still blushing. He nervously laughed it off and said that his mother was weird sometimes.

----in Sumiko's head----

He's so adorable.. Wait what am I thinking?! He's just a friend.

.. Just a friend..

But why do I want to kiss him so badly?

Hours went by and it was almost night time. Isamu and I were very tired. "Hey Isamu?" "What's up?" This is it. I have to say it! "Do you mind if I.. Ki-.. Kiii... Uh. Ssss....." "Kikiis? Sorry I don't understand. Can you please repeat?" "Oh! Eheh.. I just wanted to.. Kis-" "HEY KIDS! I AM A BUS DRIVER" Said his little brother and smashed into the room. I got pretty upset there. "sOrRY, BuT caN IsAmu and I hAve sOMe pRivaCy?" I said in a irritated tone. He replied "Oh sorry lady. I guess you wanted to take the bus to the kissi-" I ran after him.

------- Night time -------

"Isamu.. Where should I sleep?". "In my bed!" He replied right away. I blushed really hard, and then he realized what he just said. "I-I mean you c-can sleep on my bed, and I'll s-sleep on th-the ground or something. Heheh." It feels like Isamu has changed a lot lately.. He was always this flirty person, but now he is just this coward. "Isamu.." I leaned closer to his face. He was blushing. "Why are you such a coward?" "W-wait.. Excuse me? What do you mean?" "Where is your flirty personality? What happend?" "Did you like when I was flirting with you?"

"Wh-what? No!"

"Then there was your answer. I don't want to do anything that makes you uncountable, and I just got a lot more shy, because.. I. . I like you a lot.."

I looked at him without saying anything. I saw how serious he was and I realized he didn't lie. I blushed so hard.

"Wh-what?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. I meant to say I love you."

"WHAT?!"

"You can think of it later. You don't have to accept or reject me right away. I just want to kiss you again."

I mean. I also wanted to kiss him, but I have think of it first.. I looked back at Isamu that was blushing really hard and I just wanted to make him happy, because I could see how scared he was.

"Isamu.. "

He looked at me.

I leaned closer to him...
