Chapter 4:

I Love You

Sorrowful Love


Rika stared at Haru for a few seconds then replied "Yeah, let's go to the beach." Rika smiled at Haru and He smiled back. Haru stood up and said "Let's meet at the bookstore at 7:30 am then." Rika stood up with Haru and replied "Okay, I'll see you there." Haru and Rika both started moving towards her door. Haru opened the door and stepped outside then he turned around. Haru gently smiled at Rika and said "Goodbye." Rika lightly blushed and replied "Goodbye." Haru smiled as he closed the door and left. Rika locked the door and walked to her bed. She lifted up the covers and curled up under the blankets. Rika's face was completely red, she started talking to herself saying "What was with that smile?! Why is my heart beating so fast?! Did he just ask me on a date?!" She stopped talking and became even redder. Rika lifted up the blankets, smiled and said to herself "It's finally over!" She laughed and said it again "It's finally over..." Rika felt something warm roll down her cheek, She wiped away her tears and said "No. I'm not going to cry for Daichi ever again." Rika sat up and decided to get ready for tomorrow's date. Rika sorted through her clothes and found a cute blue swimming suit and a flowy white dress. Rika put her clothes on a chair and decided to go to bed. Rika layed down in her bed and pulled the covers up. She set her alarm for 6 am and went to sleep. The next morning as soon as the alarm went off Rika woke up immediately. Rika rushed to the kitchen in her pajama's and started to cook. When the food was done she separated the food into two bento boxes. Rika ran to her clothes and put them on. She put the bento boxes in a bag, put on some shoes, and left the house. Rika walked to the bookstore, and stopped as she saw Haru standing near the entrance. Rika blushed a little bit, but continued walking towards Haru. Haru looked up at Rika, He slightly blushed and then waved. Rika waved back. Rika stoped infront of Haru and cheerfully smiled. Haru smiled and said "Hello Suzuki-san." Rika blushed and replied "Hi Kawasaki-san." Haru said "Are you ready to go?" Rika smiled and energetically replied "Yes!" Haru looked down at the bag Rika was holding and said "Will you let me carry that for you?" Rika looked down and then back at Haru and replied "Yes, thank you." Haru reached out and took the bag from Rika. Haru looked back at Rika and said "Let's head to the station." Rika replied "Okay." They walked to the station talking about the books they were reading last night, and got on a train to the coast. When they where done talking about the books they read, they read the books Rika brought. Haru was reading his book when he felt something hit his shoulder. Haru looks down and saw Rika leaning against him. He slightly bends and notices Rika is asleep. Haru warmly smiles at Rika, then gently takes the book out of her lap. Haru continues reading and let's Rika sleep. After an hour they arrive at the coast. Haru turned and tapped on Rika's shoulder. Haru smiled as Rika opened her eye's. Rika sleeply said "...huh...what?" Rika's eye's bursted open, she looked up at Haru and said "I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to fall asleep on you. I'm so sorry!" Haru giggled and smiled at Rika and said "It's okay Suzuki-san." Rika blushed and slightly turned her head away from Haru. Haru looked at Rika and said "We're here. Let's get off." Rika nodded her head and they exited the train. They walked to the beach silently as Rika looked at the ground while still blushing. Rika stopped and looked up at Haru and said "I know you said it's okay but I'm still sorry I fell asleep on you." Haru turned back and replied "It's nothing for you to be sorry about. I thought it was quite enjoyable." Rika looked at Haru with a confused face and asked "What does that mean?" Haru took Rika's hand and lead her along to the beach. Rika blushed but let Haru hold her hand. They kept on walking until they found a beautiful part of the beach. Haru stopped and gently let go of Rika's hand. Haru gently smiled then looked Rika in the eye's and said "I love you Rika. I promise, I will never cheat on you. I promise, I will love only you. I promise, I will only look at you. And I promise that I will be only your's." Rika looked down at her feet, she didn't move after that. Haru bent down and looked at Rika's face. She was blushing and crying. Haru hugged Rika. Rika hugged him back then backed up and held both of Haru's hands. She looked at him while blushing and crying and said "I love you." Haru smiled and started to cry, he pulled Rika in and softly kissed her. Haru smiled and looked back up at Rika and said "I love you so much Rika." Rika smiled at Haru and said "I love you too...Haru." Haru and Rika both smiled at eachother while holding hands and walked further down the beach. They put down a blanket and ate the bento Rika made. Haru looked at Rika and said "Your cooking is always so delicous." Rika looked back at Haru and replied "Thank you Haru." Rika's phone started ringing, she looks at the caller and saw Daichi's name. Rika paused, then turned off her phone. Rika looked back at Haru then reached for his hand. Rika smiled at Haru and said "I love you Haru."

Hello, Thank you for reading this chapter. I know it's been a long time since my last update. I took a break from writing the story because I felt that if I wrote this chapter then the story would be half-way done, and I didn't want that. So I waited until I felt that I could write a hopefully good chapter. The next chapter will come out between today and and the beginning of September. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and again thank you for reading.
