At The Lake

On next day, Keiko asked me and Marina accompany her to somewhere. As we walk, I realize that this is the place that I always went to after school.

“Why are you bringing us to this lake, Keiko?” I’m asking Keiko.

“I need to finish my project and both you is my final piece of it,” said Keiko.

“Final piece? Right, I almost forgot that you is majoring in art. But how that Marina and I is related? And I almost forgot to ask how that you know Marina?” I still can’t comprehend the situation right now.

“Actually, I am alumni from the university that your sister attends right now and she was in same club with me that time. After knowing that she and I have many similarities, we become more closer quickly. I think your sister have told me some story about you before. Should I tell him, Keiko?” asking Marina jokingly.

“No! Back to my topic, I need both you to act as a lover so that I can finish my painting today.”

Hearing what Keiko said make my heart almost bursting.

“Are you kidding me? I don’t want to become your model! In the first place, I only go back home because mom asking me to.”

“And I am the person who asking mom to call you back home,” Keiko said while smirking.

“I don’t know that you will need me for this, Keiko. I thought that we will go shopping today. Not to become model with a person like him,” Marina said while pointing at me.

“Sorry but me too! I don’t even want to imagine that both us act as a couple.”

“Wait! Both you need to calm down! I don’t know that nii-san and Marina-neesan will be reacting like this. Did something happen between two of you before? ,” asking Keiko while showing her concern.

“There is nothing!” Marina and I reply at the same time.

“Really? I will leave it at there. If both you don’t want to help me, its fine. I will tell the secret that both you told me before to each other,” said Keiko.

“Keiko, you don’t mean that secret right? Please, anything but that!” Marina suddenly become worried that her secret will be exposed.

“I don’t care. Now, I want to go back home and sleeping. Maybe I will help mom at kitchen. That is more beneficial that this nonsense. Goodbye!”

Look at me! I know that we should not trust anybody with our secret especially our sister.

“Okay nii-san! Marina nee-san, do you know that niisan have write something in his diary about his crush? He even wrote the poem for them. If I am not mistaken, one of his poem sound like this-“

“Wait, Keiko! Don’t you dare to do that! I will help you! Please! Don’t tell anybody that poem!”

When did she got my diary? I thought that I have throwed it before.

“That’s what I like! Now, go to your position! Faster!”

She sound like camp commander just now. I feel that I can only follow her order right now.

“Nii-san, can you touch Marina nee-san’s cheek?”

“Are you crazy? How can you ask your own brother this kind of thing?”

“Are you sure to acting like this, niisan?”

“Sorry, I will do anything that you ask, miss Keiko.”

“That is the attitude that I want!” said Keiko while laughing.

I swear I will find get back at her after this.

“Marina, sorry for my selfish sister. She is always acting like this whenever she has chance.”

“Its okay. I am fine. Don’t need to worry about me, Kouta. Its not that you have feelings toward me right?”

“Yes.”

Suddenly, Marina move her face closer to me enough for our lips to touch each other.

“W-what are you doing Marina? We almost k-kiss just now!” I am whispering to Marina.

“Kissing with the person who we don’t have feelings for, is nothing wrong. Look at the actor and actress in the drama and the film. Did they need to have feeling toward each other to film kiss scene? Of course, no! Everything is based on the script. Same to our situation right now. We just merely follow Keiko’s instruction,” said Keiko.

“Keiko didn’t even say that we need to kiss each other. And if I don’t stop you earlier, we already kiss by now.”

Then, I look at Keiko who is busy painting a picture both us. But, she suddenly showed an unsatisfied face.

“I almost finished my painting but there is something missing. I need something that can make my painting look more realistic,” said Keiko.

“What is it, my lovely sister?”

I hope she is not asking me something unreasonable.

“Can both you kiss?”

“I feel like you are messing with me right now. Is that true, Keiko?”

I think this is going too far. I need to stop this.

“Alright, Keiko!”

Marina’s reply got me speechless.

“Do you understand our situation right now, Marina-san?”

“Of course! She is asking both us to kiss, right?”

These nuts girls! Really, what’s wrong with everyone around me lately?

“If nii-san feel its hard to do, its fine already,” Keiko said while showing her sad looks.

I thought this is her trap but when I see her face, its remind me about that time. I don’t want she to feel sad anymore just like last time.

“Alright! I will do it! Make sure to paint both us beautifully!”

I hope this the last crazy things that she will ask me to do.

“Okay, niisan! Now get ready to the position!” Keiko become happy excited again.

“I don’t even thought you will be agree to this kind of things,” said Marina.

“I just don’t want to see her sad face, that is only reason. As you said before, this is acting and no personal feeling involve.”

“Yes. Wait, you should do this slowly-“

I don’t even need to wait for Marina’s sign. With my close eyes, my lip is touching her lip. I never thought that my first kiss will be done like this. But I guess this is not count as I thought this is only acting. For Marina, maybe this is normal things that she always did with her boyfriend. I can think this as my practice for my kiss with Aika-san in the future. Somehow, I became a weird person just now.

Again, what is this strange feeling?

"Stop! Both of you can stop kissing now! It looked so real that it made me feel enthusiastic while painting you," said Keiko.

Marina and I pulled away from each other quickly after hearing Keiko.

"I thought that you would just kiss lightly, but I never expected you to kiss me passionately," Marina said, blushing.

"Hearing that from you makes me so embarrassed. But I guess this is a normal thing for you because you always do this kind of thing," I replied, trying to hide my own embarrassment.

"What?! That kiss just now was my first. I've never kissed anyone, not even my boyfriend," Marina said, avoiding my gaze.

You must be kidding, right?
