Chapter 4: -04- Decision to Stay

I had accompanied her shopping to the supermarket on Saturday, and we even went out on something like a date, though neither of us called it that.  It was just a long walk and some sightseeing.  She had even held my hand during that walk, without any prompting, and I enjoyed it immensely.

When Sunday came around, it was time for her to say goodbye.

“Kanna-chan will be getting home from the airport around noon today.  I’ll be collecting my things from my former home with her come Monday and will be figuring out what to do with my life from then on.  I’m really thankful for you letting me stay with you this week, Tachibana-kun.”

She bowed to me, dressed only in what she had worn when I first met her, the business casual outfit, and her purse.

“I also appreciated you having spent the week with me Hanazono-san, and I will really miss your cooking.  Please take care of yourself.  If…”

“If…?”

“If there’s ever a time you need to… get away, you are welcome here.”

With her sultry laugh haunting her departure, she left just like that, and she was gone from my life.

I felt empty again after that.

It hadn’t even been a full day, and I was lonely.  I kept thinking about her over and over again, and even wondered if I was crazy for thinking of a better way to have asked her to stay.  I didn’t want her to leave.  I’m sure it was just some sense of obligation that had her do that to me that afternoon, but that experience was still fresh in my mind, and wasn’t going away.  It was even preventing me from writing, which was bad.  Thankfully my paying readers were understanding of the small delay in releasing my latest chapter.

“Take care of yourself, Author-san.”

“It’ll be fine Sensei, women come and go like the wind.”

“Just rub one out to the memory of her tits!”

…there were of course some rowdy types among my readers.  But their money was received, so their comments had to be received as well.  It was my responsibility.

It was only the first week of summer break which passed, but already I had a wonderful memory of it.  I had wondered if she was alright as the days passed.  She was likely with her friend Kanna-san, and I hope she managed to break away cleanly from her partner, if that was what she really wanted.  

We didn’t talk much about it, and part of the reason I felt like scum was that I didn’t know what her real feelings were towards him.  It might have just been momentary anger at finding her partner cheating on her.  Women have a great capacity for forgiving stupid things men do.  Dad was amazing at doing stupid things to piss off Mom, and she forgave him every time, though he often had to suffer to her satisfaction first.

Marriage seems hard.  I feel bad that she had to go through such trouble without even being married at all.  She must have really loved him if she stuck with him for all that time just being his girlfriend.

If she was mine… I definitely wouldn’t let her go.  As far as I’m concerned, that man is the world’s biggest fool!

The days passed until Friday of the second week of summer break came around.

It was late at night, when my doorbell was ringing rapidly.

Who could it be at this hour?

Answering the door, I saw a familiar face.  

A familiar and sloppy looking face.

Without any warning, two arms wrapped around my neck and wet lips pushed against mine, parting them and a beer-soaked tongue sought out another familiar companion within my own.

Then, once the kiss was done… she collapsed into my arms.

“Give me a break already!!!’

Rather than sleep next to her downstairs on the couch, I spent the night up in my room.  I don’t have the first clue as to why she ended up at my place like this again, but she had, and even remembered where I lived while being intoxicated, so I decided to let it go.

I had wanted to see her again, and even if it was only for a moment, my spirits were lifted.

When I came downstairs, it wasn’t to the scent of a freshly made breakfast.

I didn’t even see her at first, until I felt some wind blowing in the house and realized the sliding glass door that led to the porch was open.

I saw her sitting down having a cup of coffee and a smoke.

I walked over to where she was and had a seat next to her.

“Hanazono-san.”

She lowered her head.

“I am extremely sorry for appearing drunk before you last night, Tachibana-kun.  Thank you for putting up with my nonsense again.”

“It’s fine.  Are… you alright?”

“I guess you can say that, but the truth is, no, not at all.”

“If it’s okay with you, can I hear you out?  Was everything okay with your friend, Kanna-san?”

She took a sip and a puff and then sighed melancholically.

“I ended it with him.  Well, technically he ended it when he decided to sleep around, but… I ended it.”

“I’m sorry to hear that.  Was that the outcome you wanted?”

She took another drag and exhaled.

“Yeah.  When Kanna-chan and I went to my place to get my things, we cornered him and tried to get an answer as to what he had been doing the entire time, but he refused to answer.  So, I told him he was the worst and to go fuck himself.  I gathered some clothes and the few important things that belonged to me, and left.  I had been staying with Kanna-chan all this week, but her and her new husband, well… I don’t know if you are aware of the early parts of a newlywed marriage, but they kept at it like a couple of wild animals all night long.”

I chuckled at that.

“I might not know, but I can certainly imagine.”

“Nee~” She smiled and bumped her shoulder with mine. “Anyway, as you can imagine, I didn’t really want to listen to all their happiness all night long, no longer having my own, and I did have a tiny bit of money Kanna-chan loaned me… so I visited a cheap bar, and got messed up again.  Before I realized it, my feet had brought me to your house.  Once again, I’m terribly sorry for intruding.  As compensation, let me make you something to eat.”

So she was through with her partner, and felt uncomfortable with her friend…?  Is this a chance?  It’s a chance, right?

“Ano… Hanazono-san?”

“Yes?”

“This um… This might sound crazy, but… would… you like to stay here with me for a while again?”

“Here?”

She shook her head.

“I don’t think I can… a place like this is surely expensive, and it’s not like I have a job yet so as to pay rent.”

I shook my head.

“Same terms as last time.  Just… will you take care of me again?  I really enjoyed the time we spent together, and would enjoy doing it in the future too…”

“Take care of you?  Oh…”  She looked at me nervously.

“Is it no good?” I asked.

“That should be my line.  I don’t know how you can enjoy the company of this troublesome woman.”

“I don’t think you are troublesome at all.  Well, maybe a little when you are drunk, but everyone is entitled to unwind every now and then.”

“So, stay here and take care of you, huh?”

I nodded.  I was actually excited at the thought of eating her cooking again.  Having a beautiful woman in the house was also seriously motivating.  I didn’t even care if we didn’t do anything like that one day.  I just enjoyed not being alone, and having Hanazono-san here made it even better.

“Can… you let me think about it?”

“Absolutely.  Please take all the time you need.”

She finished her cigarette and took another sip of her coffee before standing up.

“What would you like to eat, Tachibana-kun?”

“Whatever you feel like cooking, Hanazono-san.”

I had a wonderful breakfast after most of a week of returning to my cup-noodle diet.  I was in paradise for the moment anyway.  She left shortly after that, and it wasn’t until Sunday two days later that there was another knock at my door.

It was Hanazono-san.

Behind her was a piece of roller-luggage and she was looking as stunning as ever, wearing a cute dress.

“Hello, I hear the rent is pretty cheap here… I just need to pay with my body, right?”

I laughed.  She loves to tease me.

“Have you decided to stay?”

“Un…, If you’ll have me?”

“Please come in, my home is now your home for as long as you need.”

“Then, Pardon the intrusion~” She bowed to me before entering. “I might be unworthy, but I’m pretty sure I’m not.  You can leave everything to me!” she said, patting her chest confidently.

“I’m looking forward to being in your care again, Hanazono-san.”

“Un.  I’ll take real good care of you, Tachibana-kun.”

I let her inside the house and helped her bring her luggage upstairs.  She settled back into the spare room with ease and soon everything had returned to as it once was.  All the cooking was handled by her, though I did insist that she let me do some cleaning for the areas that were tough to reach or for the heavy stuff that needed to be moved.  

I wasn’t a totally useless guy dependent on a woman, I just sucked at cooking.  That was the main reason she was here, after all.

But since I had a beautiful companion who was fun to hang out with, of course we went out and did plenty of stuff.  Trips to the movies, shopping at the mall, the occasional restaurant to give her a break from cooking.  I even asked if there was anything specific she wanted to do, but she was always hesitant to ask, and so I had to prompt her often.

Most of another week passed while being in her care, it was now Friday of the third week of summer break.  There wasn’t any sign that she would be disappearing again, though she did fill out many applications as she tried to find a suitable part-time job, though not with much luck.  According to Hanazono-san, she didn’t attend college and the reason for that was surprising, because she hadn’t mentioned it until now.

“Yes, I have a daughter about your age.  I… was already pregnant in my senior year, and well, I sort of just ended up where I was with him.”

It wasn’t a sad story, nor did she want any sympathy from me when mentioning it.  Listening to her tell it, she and her former partner were very much in love with each other, and she had no reason to think anything otherwise.  Her now ex had managed to land a good job back then and was promoted quickly, so it’s not like there was a lot of economic hardship she had to endure until the pandemic started over a decade later.

Even then, when it did come, there were some savings they had put away, and thanks to that they made it through alright.  I had inquired further about her daughter, though.

“I guess she’s still living at home.  She was dating a boy for a while, but I overheard her saying to one of her friends on the phone that he was a boring guy, so she broke up with him.  She’s always out doing things with her delinquent friends and comes home late these days.  I got tired of yelling at her, and now that she’s already eighteen, I’ve given up entirely.  At the very least she should be smart enough to not get pregnant.”

“Uwah, sounds like you had it tough, Hanazono-san.  I can’t even imagine being a parent at my age.”

“I can’t say it was easy, but when you have a child, you love them with all your heart.  Sometimes you just find a way to push through.  But you also have to know when it’s okay to let them leave the nest.”

I listened to her wisdom when she talked about her personal life, and as we hung out at home, she would occasionally get close to me like on that one night we watched the movie.  I had slowly gotten use to it over time, and even though nothing like what happened on that day occurred again, I was perfectly fine with the way things were.

That all changed a couple days later, on Sunday night.
