// Grils who dontknow when to quit.

I was heading to the house, Haruka was behind me, with the groceries, and then when I turned the corner to go into our house....there was a girl by the door.
"Oh ..umm,  I must have the wrong house. Oh Amano-San!"
"Wei-San, what... are you doing here?"
"Yes, Wei-San, what bussiness do you have here?"
"Excuse me, I'm talking to Amano-San" She pushed past me and curled up next to him. He was warm to her I didn't see why.
"Amano-San  Jerome-San sai that you lived here, I dropped by to thank you for what you did the other day, I wasn't sure what to bring so I brought supplies to make you my famous chicken dinner."
She looked down at his hands, produce poking out from them, "Oh it seems that you already have plans today."
She had no right to be hurt, but for some reason, she was.
All I could do what maddog her hoping that Haruka would handle this because I had no room of patience for this vapid girl being so clingy to my man.
"Yes, I didn't help you because I expected anything, Wei-San you don't owe me anything, I'll see you at work, good night."
"But, please. I really want to thank you, no one has ever stood up for me like that...I..." that's when she looked up to me, and I proceeded to pull Haruka inside as I unlocked the door.
"Are you two going in together?"
"...." I looked at Haruka, and he knew exacltly what I was thinking.
 I looked over at her and annoyed, "How old are you girl?"
"Girl, that is rude... Amano-San, I'm way better than this foeigner, she doesn't even know honorifics."
"Girl, get off our porch, stop talking to my fiance, he's already got one annoying girl pinning after him, he doesn't need another. Why don't you go home, make your pathetic chicken dinner and cry."
"Chara!"
"What? How can you be so cruel , Amano-San....Amano-San."
"Shh...it's okay Wei-San, I'll drive you home, come one, here" he turned to me and handed me the bag of groceries as he drew her away."
"Are you joking?"
"No, go put the things away, I'll be back in 15 minutes, you went too far."
He left with her on the lift, and I was hurt by this.
I threw the groceries inside and left.
 I was angry, because he wasn't upset, because he didn't draw a clear line, because he fell for that bullshit, that bullshit is what I hate most. So pathetic...making dinner? That was our date tonight, and she ruined it, she couldnt keep her feelings to herself, after seeing the situations any normal person would leave, but she tried to force herself onto him, and he didn't exactly make it clear to her that we were together and most importantly, that he wasn't interested.
I needed to cool off, and I was so angry, I went to the place that would make me forget about it, Seiko's nightly rave, it's a side gig she's been doing for a while, I ind told her what happened and she was angry too, but at me.
"You should  understand him more, he's also producing artists now, he can't just straight out tell them that he doesn't want to talk to them, but he should have told you something that would make you secure, he didn't, you should have punched her, you didn't, just talk it out and think about what you would do if you were in his shoes, go have a smoke, I need to get back to the table."
I sighed and headed to the rooftop, Tokyo calms me, and I ponder.
He would'nt be the man I'm getting married to if he didn't know exactly where I had gone, and he was there, walking towards me, as I was angry, and really thinking how I could be okay with this.
"What was she even doing there, do people at your work not know that you're engaged to me?"
"I guess it hasn't gotten around, this isn't my fault, I don't know what she was thinking okay, I just helped her out, she's a sweet and kind kid and she didn't deserve what Chihiro did to her."
"Chihiro? Don't bring that ....ughh. don't mention her, I don't care what she did, this girl shouldnt be at our house trying to seduce you with a heart felt dinner...why didn't you send her away? Why did you have to see her home if you aren't interested?"
"Is that why you're upset, that I didn't reject her infront of you and delcare my love for you to her?
"Yes, ...are you ashamed of me or something?"
It hurt me more saying those words because my eyes watered and my voice cracked and I wanted out
"Chara, that's not what it is..."
"Then....why?"
"Because, I've been her, and you've been her, you know how heartbreaking it is to love someone you can't have no matter how much you want them. You want them to rub their love in your face? That is not fair, and she doesn't deserve that, that's why I took her home, that's why I explained to her without judgement why I couldn't be with her and why she needs to find someone else, because the person I pine for like she does for me is the person I'm with. I wanted to be kind, as I hoped the girl who rejected my heart so many times would have been kind to me. I took all of it, she doesn't need that.
And I love you, and what I ahd to go through to get through to you,....I don't want that to be in vain, so come here, and realize that you were wrong, and I do love you, I am proud of you, tell me what you want from me, right now I'll do whatever it takes for you to be secure about us."

// I wish time would stand still, me like this, you like that."

I remembered not so long ago, I read a comment a friend made of me and of Haruka, she called him my Terry. I didn't understand it, until I asked Seiko, Seiko threw her entire collection of Candy Candy on my lap and I read them gradually as we toured in Hokkaido. I understood it then, that he was Terry, because he was just like him, his role in my life, but... did that make me Candy? Or Susannah? Because he stayed with Susannah? The reason I'm with Haruka now has nothing to do with him being guilty of me, what of? But, If I'm Candy, does that mean...that I'll lose him some day? Why didn't she run to Terry when she saw him on that stage? Why did it matter tht he had to stay with the girl who black mailed him into marrying her? Why? I do not understand it, if she really loved him she would have let him go, but i guess that's what Candy did, she let him go, because she loved him, because she felt guilty, because she felt her love reflected in another. the...

I met you that day, I lost my mind, I found my heart, and I could breathe again, calmly.

 I was never a fan of what people call ' soul mates .' In fact, I never believed the concept had any standing in the real world. It's a fantasy that people tell each other, like there really is one person curated for our every wish and want and need. I think we have a say in this world, not a soul mate, but a person, tangible and grounded, and on that ground we find that ours is even, not a mound or a hole around us, and we can walk together on that path. The souls we seek are like this, on the same path, and they are our chosen family. I think that's a stronger bond, family, I haven't had the best relationships with my own kin, but my friends and him ...I think I chose them as my family. I wasn't used to the type of attention Masake bestowed upon me, I wondered if it was my voice, people seemed to be captivated by it, I'm grateful for that, but is that what he was after? Perhaps it was my body that attracted him to me, I am on the heavier side of a medium ...

//he became the sun.

There were things about Los Angeles that I loved, living with crazy seiko who loved to paint on the brick wall and make instant foods was fun for me, Tomos constant sleeping waiting for his shift at the Hollywood cemetery was comforting I studied at work when t wasn't busy but I wasn't hitting my assignments and my sister was worried. The thing I didn't like about Los Angeles though was that Harris didnt live here he was still living in long beach because his college was full on dorms, so he took the metro here every day sometimes his car he had a very nice Volvo, I wonder if he has money not because I want it, but because I feel embarrassed and somehow below people with money but unlike those girls that made me feel awful about myself and my household income Haruka has never given me that vibe, I wonder what it is and does it have to do with the tightening on my chest when I think about him, I feel as I'm passing a big piece of bread that is stuck inside my throat and...
