My Yakuza Boyfriend's

Chapter 18 - Moving On

Waita minute! What am I hiding for? Makoto already knows about Misaki, so there's nothing I need to keep secret anymore. But what would he do if he found out Tora was seeing her sister? Although her attitude was mature, I felt Makoto considered me her love rival. When teaching me to dance, she might have asked Tora to be an example. The main goal is to make me jealous. Then, when meeting with Makoto at the hotel as well. Makoto deliberately kept a secret with whom she stayed so as not to be embarrassed because Tora left her just like that.

"ah! You!" exclamation of Tora the Cat. "What are you doing there?"

I flinched because Tora Cats were aware of my presence. I'm so stupid! Now what do I tell Makoto?

"Come here, fool!" the Order of Tora the Cat.

Want to not, I obey. "What's planting?" I asked, pretending to be interested in plants.

"Tulip flowers."

"Eh? Can it grow here?"

"of course! Have you visited Misaki-chan?"

"It has. He said you were gardening." I noticed the mounds of land they used to plant seeds.

"Yes. Friend's coming. He took me to gardening while chatting. The person is so beautiful" said Tora The cat was excited.

"Oh yeah?" Does Cat Tora know Makoto is a Yakuza? I better keep my word.

"That's it," Tora the Cat looked straight behind me. "Let me water it."

I turned.

"Tomomi?" Makoto's face expressed her surprise. He handed a bucket of water to Tora the Cat.

"Good day, Makoto-neesan," I bowed.

"You know Nao?"

What am I supposed to answer? If I told you I knew him, would Makoto ask further? "Yes, good," I finally answered. "You alone?"

"He's my friend," Makoto glanced at Tora The cat that was watering the ground. "Can we talk somewhere else?"

"Can."

"Wait a minute. I'll wash my hands first."

Makoto took me to the cafeteria. He ordered coffee and bought me orange juice. We sat opposite each other, flanking a small table with a glass and a cup on it.

Makoto sipped his coffee. "Suami Nao was killed three years ago in an accident. Before that, they had a big fight. Nao regretted not having time to apologize to her husband. Then, he became depressed. Eventually, she became obsessed with beauty. She always wanted to look beautiful for her dead husband. I feel sorry for him because he's an only child. I'll take him to grow crops," he chuckled. Makoto's beauty is amazing. Her super slim body makes me envious. The way to drink coffee also looks elegant. "Where do you know him?" tanyakanya.

"I was introduced by a friend" I replied after thinking lightning.

"Who?"

"The girl who's rooming with him."

"Eh? You know Tonomura Misaki?" Both of Makoto's eyes widened as if he had just heard a huge information that made him very surprised.

I'm nodding. There is something strange about Makoto's attitude. Didn't he know I visited Misaki often? Confused as to what to say, I did not comment.

"How do you know Misaki?" ask Makoto.

Alright. I'll make up a story. "We met at my school. At that time my school held an event that invited students from other schools to participate. Misaki is the representative of her school. Misaki and her three friends bought the dango I sold there. We got acquainted, too," I pretended to reminisce about my false encounter with Misaki. Toh Makoto had no idea that I was from Hokkaido and had only come to Tokyo last summer.

"That's it," Makoto seemed to believe me.

"Yes. I was shocked when I heard that he was being treated here. Because of that, sometimes I come to see him. Makoto-neesan himself, do you know Misaki?"

Makoto. "I've only ever read the news about him in the newspaper. I think a young girl like herself should have enjoyed her days as a teenager. Poor girl."

Ahah! Kei says Makoto knows Misaki is Tora's sister. That means Makoto lied a second time. Is it possible that he wants to keep Tora's secret? Why didn't Tora tell her that I was the one who had been helping her all this time? But if Tora wants that, I'll obey. "Indeed very sad," I said in response.

"Then, we'll meet here often huh, Tomomi."

I smiled without saying it. The phone surprised me. Tora. "Hello?" I swipe after pressing the green button.

"Tomomi, where are you?" ask Tora.

The answer to 'being in the cafeteria' will make Makoto conclude that I am not alone. So, I said, "I'm drinking."

"Oh. I'm done."

"You sure?" I asked while glancing at Makoto who blew his coffee.

"I can come again next time."

"All right then. I'll be there, "I disconnected the phone. "Makoto-neesan, sorry, I have to go home soon. There's some sudden business" I lied.

"Shall I take you?"

"No need. I can take a taxi" I refused. After drinking the orange juice for a few more sips, I stood up from my chair. "Thank you for the drink. See you soon."

"See you later, Tomomi."

I bowed my body, then left.

I accelerated my footsteps as soon as I turned at the end of the hall. I almost hit a female patient who was in a hurry. I think Tora and I should get out of here. Makoto had no idea that I was the liaison between Tora and Misaki. I don't know what Makoto would do if he knew. I don't want to be prejudiced by him either. However, he could have brought the matter to Kumicho. But if Makoto really likes Tora, maybe he won't.

When I reached Misaki's room, Tora Cat had perched on her bed, Misaki had fallen asleep, while Tora was beside Tora Cat's bed. The woman looks excited. Tora spoke at length without caring about Misaki. Now I know why Tora called me. In my heart, I laughed.

"I'm coming" I said.

Tora The cat looked at me sharply. "So this is your girlfriend?" tanyanya tried to hold Tora's fingers, but the man pulled her hand.

"Is there a problem?"

"You're lucky, stupid girl. This guy is so handsome!" Tora Cats so admire Tora. "His posture reminds me of my dashing husband."

"Oh yeah? Your husband is like him?"

Tora the Cat nodded. "But my husband is more handsome," he continued. He laughed cheerfully.

"Then can I go home now?" tora asked impatiently.

"Aah!" I just remembered the purpose for which Tora called me here. "Yamazaki-san, we go home first. Next time we'll come again."

"Don't forget me, young man!" tora Cats' Message to Tora.

"See you soon" said Tora politely.

We also left the hospital. On the way home, I reported my unnatural encounter with Makoto. Tora was surprised to hear that. Apparently she did not tell Makoto that I was the liaison between her and Misaki. I wondered if Makoto believed my story. And Tora was grateful that I kept it a secret from Makoto.

"You don't believe in Makoto-neesan? More trust in Kei-san?" my many.

Tora shrugged without releasing her gaze from the road in front of her. Both of his hands were holding the steering wheel of the car. "I don't think this is a thing worth heralding. I talk to Kei more often, but that doesn't mean I don't trust Makoto. After all, wouldn't it be better if only a few people knew of this matter?"

"Yes" I nodded in agreement.

"Thankfully you can make up a story quickly. Makoto is a person of high curiosity."

"It is seen from his questions. Why didn't you choose Makoto-neesan to visit Misaki?"

"He offered to, but I refused because of his Yakuza status."

"So, is it okay if I get caught by Kumicho?" candaku.

Tora laughs. "It's not so! I respect Kumicho. It would be worse if a confidant like Makoto helped me break the rules. The punishment Makoto will receive will certainly be heavier than me."

"You pay attention to him, yes" I commented.

"Eh? You jealous?" Tora smiled mischievously as she patted my thigh, then glanced at me who was sitting next to her.

"No," I said. Okay, I'm jealous, but not completely. There must be a sense of possessiveness in me that wants Tora just for me. However, Tora is a straight man, so I don't have to worry about her cheating. Then, me? I do not doubt my loyalty to those I care about.

"I'm glad our plan worked" Tora smiled.

"Yes. Thank goodness everything went well."

Tora nodded. "Misaki looks healthy. He kept laughing. Maybe that's what makes him tired."

"Misaki is full of spirit. Even though he could not go back to school, he still read his favorite textbooks as if he did not want to miss. I'm glad you guys met. How you feeling?"

It took Tora a few seconds to reply, "Mixed. Happy, happy, grateful, sad for not being able to do more than this... Yeah, everything."

I know what it's like to meet someone who's been missing. They are separated for years, hoping to get back together. It's like a story in a movie with a fun ending.

"You can't go there too often, Tora-san. Especially with Makoto..."

"Yes, I know," Tora cut.

"I shouldn't have taken a walk to the garden to see Yamazaki-san," I snorted annoyedly at myself. If only I had been sitting in front of Misaki's room, I wouldn't have met Makoto.

"It's just that it's gonna make us more careful, Tomomi. Thank you for telling me."

"Either. Ah, it's over" I said as Tora's car entered the parking lot of my humble apartment. "You want to come in?"

Tora stopped her car in front of the building entrance. "Maybe next time. I also want to talk about your move. But now I have a job. My boss called when we were in the hospital" he smiled.

"Eh? A transfer?" Instantly, my heart hit my chest hard, as if commemorating the coming of the day where me and Tora would live in the same place.

"You haven't forgotten your promise, have you?" Tora looked at me, charging at the promise like a child.

I'm nodding.

"Good then."

"Yes... See you, Tora-san..." My mind's floating. I'm not moving according to my brain's wishes. The wave of my hand at Tora-san I did unconsciously. I promised her to stay together, but I was scared myself. "That's stupid, Ayase Tomomi!" seruku alone.

I love Tora. Living with him is my greatest wish. But for now, it seems like I'm not ready. There is still anxiety in me. What if later we are not even suitable after living? What if I don't live up to Tora's expectations? All this time I only knew the outside of Tora, except about her family, the same as Tora who only saw my outside.

"Alright, Tomomi! You want Tora, and vice versa. What do you need to worry about?" ask my own reflection in the mirror. I wondered what it would be like to live with Tora. I have absolutely no idea how Tora is at home.

Tora did stay here, but it was only 2 nights. Yeah, he paid a lot of attention to me making breakfast and dinner. But I was sick at the time. It's not impossible if Tora is only attentive when I'm sick and ignores me when I'm healthy. Also, about his job as a Yakuza who knows no time. And I can't stop him from committing a crime.

"Wait a minute! Since when did I start questioning Tora's status?" I kept quiet, thinking.

🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶

In the end, I hadn't decided on anything until the moment Tora stopped by my apartment to negotiate. That handsome guy is smiling a lot more lately. We sat on a chair with the dining table as the center. It's smart that he makes me misbehave by looking at me constantly.

"So, when are you going to move?" tora asked as she lowered her eyebrows.

"That's... I don't know yet" I answered honestly.

"Hmmm... I'm ready to accept your arrival at any time."

"Look, Tora-san..."

Tora put up her ears.

"Tora-san's... L'm... Tora-san's chat... Eeeh..."

"Why are you so nervous?" Tora laughs. "You hesitating?"

My heart didn't stop beating, as if it was in revolt to come out of my chest cavity. "How I said it... It's not that I don't love you, Tora-san, but I'm confused," I looked down because I didn't want to look at Tora's face.

"What are you confused about?"

Okay, Tomomi. Express your doubts to him! Now or not at all! "Do you really want me to stay with you?" my many. "A few days ago I kept thinking and imagining what it would be like when we looked at each other. I don't know how you are everyday, you are the other way around. Bad possibilities exist, right? For example, you don't like me like this, I don't like it if you do. What if we can't adjust?"

"You doubt me?"

"No," I held my head up, finally. "This is also my wish, but..."

"You scared?"

"Eh?"

"Tomomi, I don't see anything ugly here. Maybe our lives will change a little bit, but we can definitely live it" Tora said. His tone was calm and steady. "I don't think it's as bad as you think. You're afraid of your own thoughts."

Tora's right.

"We don't know what's going to happen until we experience it ourselves" Tora got out of her chair, then knelt before me. His hand held my hand. "Listen, Tomomi. We can't predict the future, but we can create it." I looked into my eyes deeply. "Will you be my future?"

I melted, completely melted down to the most liquid form in the world. I don't know how he does it, but he can always dispel my doubts with his positive thoughts. I should be ashamed because it seems like my love is not as great as his. I want to cry so much at him.

"Why are you quiet?" tanyanya polo's.

Tora was too adorable, so I hugged her neck. "I envy you, Tora-san," I said.

"Eh?" I felt his arms around my waist.

The tighter my embrace. My body pushed him until we both staggered. Tora's head and my knees hit the floor. We both complained, then laughed.

"You okay?" my many. I was propped up on my elbow so I could look at Tora's face. Being this close to her felt warm.

Tora shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Tora-san."

"For what?" Tora cupped my face with both hands.

"I envy you because I can't express my feelings in words directly like you."

"It's okay."

"Eh? What are you doing, Tora-san? Ow hell! Sakiiit!" My voice was getting weird because Tora was pressing both of my cheeks. My lips are like fish. I closed my eyes hard.

Tora laughed and finally let go of her hand. She was so excited after pranking me. "Didn't the call -san sound too polite?"

"No. You're older than me. Should I call you a prankster?"

"No!" yells.

"I know! Taiga-san?"

"No way."

"Why not? That's the name your own mother gave me."

"No, yes no."

"You don't respect your mother" I said.

"Shut up! I'll take it again..." Tora pressed my cheek again with her hand.

"Noooo!"

"When are you moving? Say it! When are you moving in?"

"Saki!" I feel pain in my inner cheek. My mouth is back in my mouth.

"I won't let go until you answer my question."

I tried to free my head, but Tora was so strong. There's no other way. I pinched his cheeks with all my might, making him groan in pain. "I won't let go until you stop."

"We're releasing them together?" tanya Tora finally gave up.

"okay."

We both laughed at our stupidity. Tora rubbed her cheeks, while I tugged at my cheeks as if keeping her suppleness.

"I want you to move out as soon as possible" said Tora.

With a smile, I raised my hand to the side of my head to show respect. "Yes, Sir!"

🏢🏢🏢🏢🏢

So I got ready too. I have informed the owner of my apartment building about my move in 2 days. The building owner was even grateful that there were new tenants who bid higher. Really good day.

Tora kept her residence a secret. For a yakuza, could he live in a luxury apartment or even a big house like Makoto? But Tora has only been a Yakuza for a few years. I don't think he wants to show himself as rich.

Even if I stay with Tora, I want to keep working. Most likely Tora will agree because we will meet every day anyway. That nice guy doesn't have to worry about my health anymore.
