Our Lives Together

Chapter 17

"Riana..." Sasha said
"What?" Riana asked
"Why the hell were you so close with Yuzu?" Sasha asked
"What? You know I'm always clingy" Riana said as she wrapped her arms around her
"A little too clingy. Besides you should understand that Mei feels uncomfortable..." Sasha said
"Oh? I didn't know what I was doing. I'll apologize to her when I see her and keep my distance with Yuzu" Riana said
"Yeah that's probably a good idea but anyways let's go" Sasha said
"Hm? Where?" Riana asked
"I'll take you out somewhere to eat. You have a break right?" Sasha asked
"Ah yes. I only have two morning classes. The rest are later...almost in the afternoon" Riana said
"Good that your break matches with mine" Sasha said and took Riana away as they stepped out of the university
"Why are you taking me out on a date?" Riana said
"Not a date dumbass. Also it's because you haven't explained to me properly why you're here" Sasha said
"Eh? But I've already told you twice today" Riana said
"...quit lying" Sasha said and Riana sighed
Jeez...I can't lie to this idiot
"And how do you know that?" Riana asked
"Because I know you, idiot. I'm the one that knows you the most..." Sasha said and Riana laughed softly
"Takes me back to the good times in high school. You were always so worried about me" Riana said
"You never stopped getting into trouble..." Sasha said and got to her car along
"It was their fault from the start" Riana said and got inside the car. Sasha got in and started the car before driving off
"We'll talk more while we eat" Sasha said
"You're right. How about we talk about how things went after we graduated?" Riana asked
"Well I moved out and found a place to stay. Or...more like I stayed at Diane's place" Sasha said
"Eh?" Riana asked
"Diane Tisna. You don't know her" Sasha said
"Is she your girlfriend or something?" Riana asked and Sasha blushed
"No. It's not like that's Sasha said
"Then why are you blushing?' Riana asked as she poked her cheek
"Sh-shut up. Anyways as I was saying uhm...yeah she let me stay at her place and soon I moved out once I got enough money" Sasha said
"Wow...you seriously did accomplish your goal. You got serious" Riana said
"You could say that. I've been able to handle school and work" Sasha said
"Wish I could do that.." Riana said
"You're still staying over at your parent's place?" Sasha asked
"Yep. I mean I am trying to save money but I feel like I don't need to since I stay over at my friend's place quite often" Riana said
"Wait...don't tell me it's that crush of yours?" Sasha asked
"Ah so you remember?" Riana asked
"How the hell could I forget? You were always talking about how amazing she was and how much of a stupid idiot she was as well. All because of her ex and you hated her ex" Sasha said
"Yeah yeah but now I'm over it" Riana said
"Your crush?" Sasha asked
"What? No. I meant that I'm over the hatred I had with her ex" Riana said
"Oh you met her ex?" Sasha asked
"Mm yes. She isn't so bad like before but she hasn't changed so much" Riana said
"Glad to know that I won't be hearing any complaints" Sasha said and soon arrived by a dining area to eat
"You're paying right?" Riana asked and Sasha sighed
"Sure sure" Sasha said
"Thanks. I'll pay you back" Riana said as she smiled softly. Once they were inside the two women got seated and ordered their meals
"Now...for the important part. What the fuck are you actually up to?" Sasha asked
"Haah...you really aren't letting go huh?" Riana asked
"Because I don't want to start planning your funeral" Sasha said
"Hahaha! You're seriously looking out for me" Riana said
"Mei Aihara is someone you shouldn't mess with" Sasha said
"What? Is she really that bad?" Riana asked
"Mei's got quite possessive with her girlfriend. I think it started after they graduated from the Academy. I met Yuzu at her part time and well decided to get close to her. I went through hell because of it..." Sasha shivered
"Wow..." Riana said
Are we even talking about the same person? She wasn't nothing like that. She was really easy to push around
"And I'm warning you to not get yourself involved with her..." Sasha said
"Jeez fine fine. Since we're here together...maybe it won't be so bad to tell you what I'm thinking..." Riana said
"Hm?" Sasha asked
"The truth is..."

"Achoo! Ugh! Am I sick?" Shai asked
"Maybe someone is talking shit behind your back" Diane said as she scrolled through her phone
"Huh?! Is that true?" Shai asked
"Highly doubt it though because everytime you hear someone talk shit...you beat them up for it" Diane said and pulled out a sucker before placing it in her mouth
"Do you have more?" Shai asked and Diane smed before handing her a sucker
"Do you always carry sweets around you?" Shai asked
"I like candy and besides it helps me stay focused" Diane said
"How is sucking candy helpful?" Shai asked
"Imagine you're sucking your girlfriend's tits" Diane said and Shai immediately had a nosebleed
"Dumbass! Don't get it on my paper!" Diane exclaimed and Shai covered her nose
"I-I'm sorry!" Shai whimpered and soon got some tissues to clean up her mess
"Talking about girlfriends. Where's your tiny girlfriend?" Diane asked
"Himeko-chan? Oh uhm..." Shai paused and looked down
"Hm? Don't tell me you two got into a fight?" Diane asked
"She got mad at me because I left a hickey on her!" Shai said and Diane smacked her with the papers
"No need to yell it out loud! I'm right here and can hear you perfectly clear" Diane said and flinched
"Does she want me to get on my knees and beg for forgiveness?" Shai asked
"Shai" Diane said
"I couldn't help myself and wanted everyone to know she's mine" Shai said
"Shai please shut up" Diane said
"I even got cute lingerie for he-"
"Shai!" Diane said
"What?" Shai asked and Diane pointed behind her. Shai trembled a bit and turned around seeing the small pony tail woman. Himeko looked at her with her dark violet eyes as she glared at her
"H-himeko-chan!" Shai exclaimed as she stood up from her chair
"Hey Diane" Himeko said
"Hi Himeko. How was your presentation?" Diane asked
"It started off horrible at first when I was grouped up with them but it surprisingly ended well. We definitely got a perfect grade on that presentation" Himeko said and looked at Shai who flinched. Shai whimpered softly as she avoided looking at Himeko. Meanwhile Diane only felt the tension between them and sucked on the candy
"Are you working on anything right now?" Himeko asked
"A-ah! Actually I just finished my-"
"Good. Now let's go out on a date" Himeko said
"E-eh? But you sai-" Shai paused as Himeko glared at her
"Quit talking and start walking" Himeko said
"Y-yes Mistre-Himeko!" Shai said and Diane almost choked as she laughed. Himeko's face burned up and sighed
"Get your things. Bye Diane" Himeko said as she waved goodbye
"Bye you guys. Also good luck Shai" Diane said and laughed a little
"Bye Diane. Thanks for the candy" Shai said as she smiled and grabbed her stuff before walking with beside Himeko
"Do you seriously talk that stuff with her?" Himeko asked
"Eh?! You heard!?" Shai exclaimed as she blushed and Himeko flicked her forehead
"Most of it" Himeko said and Shai looked at her neck
"S-sorry for marking you without permission" Shai whimpered
"I don't have to repeat myself so many times. You can mark me just...not in places where it's visible. Anywhere else around my body is okay but my neck...uhm no" Himeko said and Shai soon pinned her against the wall. Shai trembled slightly as she blushed deeply and looked at Himeko
"U-uhm...so does that uh...m-mean I can m-mark you now?" Shai asked
"How perverted are you?" Himeko asked
"I just really love you!" Shai whimpered
"We're in public. We can't do something like this out here...maybe I'll let you when we get home" Himeko said and Shai nodded
"Okay!" Shai said and Himeko felt her phone vibrate
"Ah it's Meimei" Himeko said and answered the call
"Hey Meimei" Himeko said
"Hey Himeko...uhm...so" Mei paused as she felt a bit hesitant and sighed which worried Himeko immediately
"What? Is something wrong?" Himeko asked as she walked away from Shai to find a quieter place to talk
"Hey" Shai whimpered softly and looked around before following Himeko to the corner where she hid herself in
"Meimei, what happened?" Himeko asked
"You see uhm...this morning I met a new student and...it was her" Mei said and Himeko gasped
"Isha?" Himeko asked
"No. It was Riana" Mei said
"Riana Shanti? Argh that bitch! Why she she back?" Himeko growled
"Supposedly she said that she switched colleges because of her major but that's bullshit. I know exactly why she's here and what she's planning..." Mei said
"...is she doing those stupid tactics on Okogi-san?" Himeko asked
"Trying to act all innocent and cling onto her like she was her bestie? Yes" Mei said
"But Okogi-san didn't fall for that stupid truck right? I'll beat her up if she ever left you alone!" Himeko said
"Don't worry...Yuzu is the type is person to be able to notice whenever someone is feeling down. Besides...she isn't like Isha. Yuzu is more...caring and loving. She always checks up on me and never wants to leave my side" Mei said
"Have you at least spoken to her about...what happened back then?" Himeko asked
"Not yet. I plan on telling her soon but...I don't think I'm ready. But I did talk to her about Riana and that we aren't in good terms" Mei said
"It's good that you're talking to her about it. Communication is very important in relationships" Himeko said
"Also sorry if I was disturbing you or any-"
"Oh no no! Meimei you never disturb me or anything. I'm your best friend and as your greatest friend it's my duty to be there by your side. If you ever feel troubled by anything you can always talk to me or you can come to my place for a chat" Himeko said
"Thanks Himeko. You're the best..." Mei said
"Would you like to talk about it more later today? I'm free" Himeko said
"Yes...I think that'll help me. I was a bit scared when I saw Riana" Mei said
"I'll go ahead and hick her ass for you" Himeko said
"Hahaha...no need for that" Mei said laughing softly. Meanwhile the white haired girl couldn't help but let out a soft giggle
"Haah...Riana Shanti huh? It's been a while. That day was the last day I saw you...on the ground crying and bleeding" Shai mumbled softly and her eyes darkened
I believe it's time for a reunion. Time for some fun
