It's been five days since that hateful day and for the days that passed, Kuro never once failed to show up on my doorstep but I never did once open the door for him. He has my duplicate but like before whenever we have a fight, he never uses it. He will just ring my doorbell and keep waiting for me to open it until the last train and come back again the next day until my anger subsides.
I'll be honest, there's no way that I did not get tempted to open the door for him right after our every fight, but the reason for this time, is something that I can't forget just like that. And as much as I wanted to fix our crumbling relationship, my heart and mind still can't accept his reason for cheating.
I never even once, cheat on him. I admit that I don't talk a lot and I've been like this before we even started dating, but I've been honest and open with him. When there's something about us that's bothering me, I always tell it to him. I'm not showy on my feelings but I always make sure that my love will always get through to him.
He's not my favorite person, Yes. But he is my lover. He's the one I love. The one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. I've been neglecting him? I barely spend time with him? I'm always with Shoyo? Even so, those reasons are not enough for him to cheat on me.
That's why I can't accept his reason. But what's more unacceptable is that he cheated on me with the same person he had been seeing before we dated. The person that he's been using as my substitute.
Is Tsukishima really the substitute or it is me who is Tsukishima's substitute?
The sound of my doorbell made me come back to my senses. I checked on my CCTV just to feel a bit of disappointment when I saw the pizza delivery man instead of Kuro. That reminds me to check the time because it's already past the time for the last train, meaning that he didn't come here today.
Did he give up already?
I feel restless as I went to get the pizza I ordered. But to my surprise, it wasn't the usual delivery man but none other than Kuro who's outside my apartment, holding the boxes of pizza I ordered while eyeing me with a sullen look on his face. It seems that he used the delivery man to ambush me.
"Kenma please talk to me." He said in a cracked voice and eyes clouded with tears.
I miss him. That's what my heart said when I saw him personally not only on my CCTV monitor. He looked like he has been sleep-deprived seeing the bags under his eyes.
But I didn't answer him and just take the box of pizza before going back inside without closing the door behind me. He followed me right away but before I could even put down the pizza on the table, Kuro's big hand grab my arm and make me face him.
"Who is it?" He asked glaring at me like a madman.
"What are you talking about?" I asked coldly acting as if I didn't know what he's talking about. I bet he saw the hickeys and bitemarks on my nape and at the back of my shoulders that I asked Shoyo to put in me when he visited me earlier because I have my hair tied in a bun that makes my nape visible.
We didn't do anything and Shoyo knows nothing regarding Kuro and Tsukishima's infidelity. I just asked him to bitemarks and put hickeys on where it could be seen right away. But of course, I lied to Shoyo about the reason why I asked him to do that. I don't want him to worry about me or get mad to his former team mate for ruining my relationship with Kuro.
"Damn it Kozume! Tellme who put a fuckin' mark on you?!" He asked angrily as his grips on myarms tightened. I'm celebrating inside my mind watching his reaction whiletrying to contain my cold expression as facade.
