CHAPTER SIX [ U N C E R T A I N ]

LISA OPENED her eyes. She have just woke up. She set her eyes on the alarm clock placed in the side table of her bed.

"8:30 a.m ..." Lisa declared softly from her mind.

It was too late for her to wake up. She is in a day off anyway and she has no engagement for the day.

She begun stretching her body. She could feel the pain in her head even the swelling of her eyes.

She could not blame himself for she hoped that her wish would be fulfilled. But it was destiny that paved the way for Twelve and Twelve to be away with each other.

She would cry almost every night, knowing he would never come back and talk to her.

With that in mind, her tears started fall. Until it seems like no more tears could come out of her.

She immediately got up and prepared a coffee. She didn't even bother to cook her breakfast because she could not eat it due to lost of appetite.

She decided to go out and stroll around so she could at least forget the sadness she feels.

She was able to get dressed after a few minutes. All she wore was a simple blouse with jeans and sandals. She didn't bother to put lipstick.

When he opened the door, she was immediately shocked. She didn't expect to see Twelve out of the door. She smiled for a moment but eventually felt sad.

He's smiling at her as if wanting to say something. But he seemed like having a second thought. For a few seconds they stayed that way. Lisa was the first to break the silence between the two of them.

"I see you came out of the hospital, Sachi. How are you feeling? Are you okay? You should rest now. What are you planning to do and you even came here?"

The young man only looked meaningfuly. He was just wearing a khaki short and shirt.

She remembered how Twelve used to be. He had almost never changed when it comes to clothing. Lisa just smiled at the sight.

"Hey, Lisa. . ." he began. The meaningful gaze was still in his eyes. He kept smiling at her with sweetness.

Lisa couldn't help but notice that her heartbeat was suddenly accelerating because of the way Twelve stared at her.

She ignored what she noticed with the man.

"Where are you going? Come on! Come with me," Twelve whispered to Lisa.

Lisa would have refused but suddenly he grabbed her and pulled her hand.

"Let's go. I know a lot of good place. I would love to go there but I don't have a companion. So the best thing is you go with me."

Lisa looked at the hands of the Twelve. Suddenly, she felt happy with it. But she knew everything was temporary.

She'll let herself enjoy with Twelve. She couldn't hold back her own smile while looking at him. She could see that he smiled at her as well.

She feels like there's something with Sachi. There is something different about his actions. Lisa immediately reacted to any conclusions about the young man. What matters is that they are together now.

He saw the car they were about to use in the parking lot. Just like before, they rode a motorcycles. Where he had previously rescued her from police raiding Tokyo City when she had run away. The happiness she felt in those moments was very evident.

"Hop in," Sachi mumbled. The young man gave her a helmet to protect her from heat and smoke.

He immediately run the motor's engine. They were in the middle of the road while still in the motorcycle, Sachi's just whistling while driving.

When they got out of the traffic, he speeded off in his motorcycle.

Incidentally, there were traffic police at that time aboard their cars. They immediately chased after them. Across the highway was heard a police sergeant accompanying the loud noise of Twelve's motorcycle. The young man just laughed out loud.

When police vehicles stopped them, the young man speeds his motorcycle even more. They almost flied into the thin air.

Lisa just hugged him tightly. A smile settled on Twelve's lips when he felt Lisa's embrace from behind her.

They continued racing with the police. He overtakes in the first vehicle in order to leave them behind.

It looks like he's used to playing on the highway. A few minutes later, police could not catch up with them due to the speed of Twelve's driving. Twelve thought that if the cops would chase after him, he would have to deal with them in the first place.

A loud laugh once again erupted on the highway. Even Lisa had finally been able to laugh at the companion's laughter. Twelve makes her feel good. When he's with her, he feel like there's no more he could wish for.

They soon reached their destination. Lisa was shocked at that moment. She couldn't believe they're at the amusement park. Lisa thought she would never go back to that place. Where there are so many memories of this young man.

But he ignored the memories of their past. Lisa quickly looked around. The comforting place occupied Lisa's mind while warmth was reflected on Sachi's face.

"Let's go over there." The young man held her hand. Lisa followed.

After several hours of touring, they have experienced a lot of rides. Lisa suddenly remembered that she still has work to go the next day. So she asked the young man and they went home.

The young man agreed but he asked her to wait on a bench because he'll buy something.

While Lisa was waiting, she distracted herself by observing passersby. The amusement park has not changed at all. It didn't seem to have experienced times of turmoil. Suddenly, Lisa felt the pain she had experienced before. She thought that she has lost Twelve. It is better if he does not know her, though. At least he can be with her even only temporarily...

Suddenly someone blocked her sight by covering her eyes. She knew it was Sachi.

Lisa smiled as Twelve when he finally removed his hands. He doesn't change at all. He's just as sweet as before.

Sachi suddenly came over and handed Lisa the stuffed toy.

Lisa was moved to tears as the young man had once given her that thing. Lisa couldn't help but doubt if his memory was not yet back.

"Twelve. . ." Lisa said suddenly as she quickly glanced at the young man's eyes with tears.

He paused before taking Lisa's hands again.

"It's okay if you call me Twelve. I feel like I could make you happier with that."

The young man stood up immediately and invited Lisa to ride the ferris wheel. Lisa didn't object because it was their last ride before they return home.

She didn't even object when Twelve held her hand again.

They were already in the Ferris wheel but Twelve didn't stop staring at her. While Lisa keep on avoiding the young man's gaze. She seemed to melt in the way helooked at her, as if there were flying butterflies in her stomach.

Lisa enjoyed the unusual feeling while the ride was still at its slow pace.

"I'm happy that I'm experiencing this again. Thank you, Twelve."

Twelve smiled at Lisa's words. "I'm glad that I made you happy, Lisa," Twelve said. Suddenly the tension builds around them.

Lisa couldn't help to feel uneasy in front of the young man since he made her remember Twelve.

Until she felt Twelve touch her cheeks that caused her to close her eyes. She remembered the time when he saved her on the ferris wheel.

"Lisa. . ." Twelve muttered her name. She couldn't stop the redness of her cheek because of the way Twelve was calling her name.

Suddenly, she felt Twelve's lips touching hers. At the same time, she feels overwhelmed with pleasure. She will treasure all of that when she'll be gone for real.

She slowly opened her eyes. She could see how he would look to her with a lot of emotion.

"I'm not going to let you go again. I love you, Lisa. . ."

Lisa just smiled again even if there was sadness because she has to go away for the better.

She felt him kiss her again, but deeper and more impulsive. He that Twelve loves her with that kiss. Her feelings overflowed with joy for a few moments when their lips touched.

He held her tightly as if she were about to float in the clouds. Twelve's lips were becoming more searching. She felt his tongue inside her mouth. Liza just moaned in the glory of the kiss of the young man. She knows that even if she goes away, there are memories that she'll bring up . . .

THEY WERE traveling home when a heavy downpour began. Fortunately, they are in the city.

Lisa thought she young man would take her to her apartment but at he brought her to his pub. It was raining really hard that night.

Upon arriving they immediately took the elevator. As they enter the room, she roamed her eyes then walked around the place after. She noticed that the place was well equipped.

After a while, Twelve told her to take a shower and change for something else to dry her wet clothes.

Lisa took a few minutes to immerse herself in the shower. After shower, she put on the Twelve's shirt first. She has no choice but to wear it. But it was actually nice to feel that she was wearing Twelve's shirt. Agh! She looks crazy.

Twelve later took a shower too. While Lisa immediately went to the kitchen area. He intends to cook the young man a curry. He remembered that this was Twelve's favorite. She just smiled at the memories she had in mind. She used to not know anything to cook, but now, it makes her proud that she could cook a lot of dishes.

She was just waiting for the curry to be ready when Twelve came out. She let her eyes glaze over him. His hair was still wet and it made him look even more handsome.

Her face blushed as he caught her staring. He suddenly smiled mischievously. He immediately went near her and grabbed her waist. He was about to kiss her when she moved away from him. She made an excuse that the curry she's cooking might be ready. She feels like she's on fire when their skins are touching.

Twelve whistles as his gaze follows her. Lisa caught him looking at her legs. She realized that she's wearing a too exposing shorts so she can't blame him. She chose to not mind it.

"You know how to cook now, huh?" Twelve said out of no where.

Lisa was stunned and Twelve seems to notice that. He can't help but smile. Lisa on the other hand was wondering but she just shrugged the thoughts away. She turned off the stove and immediately prepared the food on the table.

They talk about almost everything while eating. For the first time, Twelve praised her cooking. Lisa's heart overflowed with joy.

Lisa was washing the dishes when the young man embraced behind her. Suddenly Lisa felt awkward because of that.

"Twelve! I am washing the dishes!" she scolded the young man. But instead of obeying her, the young man drew himself closer to her. He could feel Twelve's breath on her shoulder that gave her chills to her spine. She just let the young man do what he wants. He even smells her hair from time to time.

Lisa could feel the tension building between them. She's happy about what's happening and nervous about what would happen next at the same time. She loved Twelve and she's admit that. So wherever her love would lead her, she would let the destiny decide.

When she finally finished washing, that took long because of Twelve being clingy, she felt him move away from her little by little. Before Lisa finally came out of the kitchen, she could see a smile on his lips. Twelve went straight to the sala and turned on the portable music box and played a song.

Lisa paused for a moment as she listened to Twelve's chosen song. It was the music that Nine always listened to.

She hurried to where he was. Lisa was surprised to find him even sitting at the table. Dinner comes with a table candle light set and an expensive bottle of champagne.

The joy of being surrounded by those moments will never be lost. She feels very special.

Twelve lets her sit the strange while his eyes is twinkling with joy.

She filled her glass with wine. Slowly, she pressed the rim to her lips and Lisa tasted that it's not too bitter. Unlike other alcoholic drinks that the smells were turning her stomach upside down. The young man kept smiling at her as if he was amused in her actions. As it lasted, the wine's sweetness prevails.

She was so moved to dance with Twelve that Lisa immediately raised her eyes, slowly wetting her eyes, and the young woman was only keeping her face in Twelve's chest so that he could not see her crying. She could no longer handle the mixed emotions that haunted her during those times. She was sure she was going to miss him. Twelve seemed to suddenly feel that.

Lisa felt the young man's palms on her cheeks. It slowly wiped away the grain of tears that ran down his cheek, as it had in his eyes the peculiar look of him that made his heart flutter constantly. He slowly turned her around and kissed her on the back of her head.

Not knowing how long it would take them to stop dancing, Lisa noticed that she was staring back at him. Until the boy's lips finally covered her lips.

Things got so fast that she realized they were in bed. There, she was shocked that she was feeling what the young man might be doing to them that night. She could not think wisely and she was a slave to whatever he wanted. What she's sure of is that she really loves Twelve.

Across the room, you can hear the music of love that can only be heard by the two of them.
