Sakura

" I love you, Taki-kun"

I said it! After going through a predicament of embarrassment and anxiety, I finally expressed my feelings. He looked at me with a gentle smile. I wonder how can he be so calm all the time. I envy him! Not good, I am flustering. Got to keep my wits together.

I feel slightly strange. My chest feels heavy. What is this feeling called? I suppose it was too early. I fled the scene when he warmly patted on my head. I must have looked like an idiot. How am I going to face him again?

A week passed. Yet no sign of him. I have gone and done it. Now he must hate me. He is avoiding me. I hate myself. Honestly, I am such a mess. I wish he would at least stop avoiding me. To even lose the one you love, I must be really incapable of love.

He saw me. He definitely saw me. This is bad, he is walking towards me. Our eyes meet. It's no use, I can’t move my body. "Misaka-chan, you are blushing." I want to kill myself right now.

"Umm, Misaka-chan. I am sorry. Last time I didn't meant to be rude. When you confessed your feelings then, so boldly, you looked very pretty that I couldn't stop myself." Huh, what is he talking? I thought all this time, he hated me. Cute? I ? Umm, is he really saying that I looked cute?

"Hmm, thinking about it, I didn't really replied you back properly, did I?" Please stop taking. This much is enough for my maiden heart. I will treasure this moment for my entire life. I will cherish the thought that I looked cute to you. So please stop, I don't want to hear you say no.

" ----you too!" Huh, I wasn't paying attention. What did he say? He is laughing heartily. Did I miss something?

"Misaka-chan. You really are very pretty. That redness you have got on your pink face is quite cute. It is like Autumn." Blood is rushing to my face. I feel too warm. It almost feels like a dream. It is too good to be real.

"Misaka-chan's face is like a full bloomed Sakura flower. Pretty, colorful, warm and soothing." I suppose this is like autumn. Sakura huh? I like it.

"Umm, Taki-kun. Do you …umm…do you like Sakura?"

"I love it." My lips feel warm with his kiss.
