Intertwine (Strings of Fate)

Chapter 33: Catch

(Ritsu's POV) 

"So, Ritsu and Kohei you pick some crops in the vegetation."

"Okay." We said in chorus. It's good that we have to harvest crops in the vegetation because we have a small vegetation in our backyard. And one of my hobby is to harvest some spinach on it. I hurriedly went out in the field to see what it looks like. I pace in a brick pathway in the middle of the garden and went down beside the forest the large vegetation. Although it was beside the forest, it was wide and very lovely. It has many varieties of crops in the field.

"It's so nice in here."

"Sou ka? (Is it?)" I turn to look at Kohei whom I forgot because I am too excited to see the field.

"Ah, y-yes it is."

"So, what will we gonna do?" I look closely at the field to see what else we need to do. And I observe that there are many weeds in the field that I didn't when I look at it a while ago.

"Uh, I think we need to take uproot first the weeds before we harvest the crops."

"Eh? Why can't we dig up them at the same time?"

"Because we can't mix them up and at the same time weeds are not crops in the first place." Enlightenment is written all over his face. Doesn't he know that?

"Doesn't we have to change first our clothes before we work?"

"Ok, nice suggestion." We go back again in the villa and change my clothes. 

I wear a short jeans and checkered long sleeves with matching wide brim hat and sandals. I open the door and I saw Kohei leaning in the frame of the door while his hands are in his pockets. He was so gorgeous in his sleeveless shirt and faded jeans. I like to eat him whole, like a dish. Wait. What did I say just now? Did I just say about that? Argh!!

"Why are you still standing there? Let's go."

"Ah, right I'm coming." I tail him while we were walking to the hallway. While staring at his back, I realize that he was different from before. He was way taller than me, his shoulders are broader and his physique is more define than before and he was grown manly right now in my eyes. Thump...thump...thump...thump. I held my chest but my heart can't stop beating crazily just now. I felt this before, I can still remember but I don't know what is this. Tud. I touch my harm nose because he suddenly stops on his tracks.

"Ouch." He turn back to face me.

"S-Sorry. We are here." I forgot. We are supposed to harvest crops. Why does it slip in my mind? Tsk.

"Uhm, ok. Let's start then." He nods.  

"Wait!" I almost lose my balance when he swiftly grabs my elbow from the back, but because of his sturdy body that I don't fall down. However, my face lands on his chest while his freehand abruptly wrap around my shoulder. So, it is most likely that we were embracing each other. I was in daze when I realized the warmth from his body was. It's soothing. Maybe, at this time I'm turning to red because of warmth in my face. It can't be. Then I realize that we are at the awkward position. I hastily push him away from me, before anything happen to me.

"What is it?" I coldly said.

"Here, take this. We might need this." He handed me a pair of gloves.

"Arigatou."

(Kohei's POV) 

We went back to the villa to change clothes before we start our work. When I went outside our room I didn't see her. Maybe, she's still changing. Girls. I got a little board so I lean in frame of the door. A few second had pass, the door fling open and a familiar figure pops out. She's wearing a checkered long sleeves, short jeans revealing her white tone legs in sandals with matching wide brim hat. Kawaii (Cute). She's so cute that I want to hug tight. I realize that she was at daze so I broke the silent first.
