That night was a lonely one for me. My cat and rabbit left the house for a romantic evening together and my other cousins went partying. I didn’t feel like leaving the so I just stayed back and watched a movie. No one was home, just me, the whole night… The lights were off except in my room and my door was closed. It started to rain outside and I could see the moonlight shining on the trees. It was about 12:30 pm when I heard a bang at my bedroom window. It was Takashi standing outside in the rain.
“What are you doing home so late?” I whispered.
“Open the front door for me, it’s locked and I’m soaking.”
I ran to the door and quickly opened it. It took him a few seconds to walk around the house again. When he finally got into the house I smelled alcohol all over his shirt.
“Where have you been all this time? You left early this morning and came home so late.”
Takashi walked closer as I closed the front door.
“I’ve been having some fun. You should have been there”, he teased.
I backed up as the smell of vodka filled my space.
“Been where? Where exactly have you been Takashi?”
Takashi slowly started walking my way. His rained soaked cloths were damping the floor.
“You should change your cloths Takashi or you might get a cold!” I walked to my room and he followed behind.
“Why do you have to be such a mom chick? Why can’t you loosen up a little? You worry too much for your age.” As I walked into my room, Takashi was behind me.
“Why are you following me? You obviously don’t want to tell me where you’ve been and you’re keeping me up! I need my sleep and you have your own room so good night!!!” I yelled.
When I turned around he was half naked and his wet shirt was on the floor. He started to take his jeans off when I stopped him right there.
“What the heck do you think you’re doing? Why are you undressing in here when you have your own room to go to?! I hope you don’t think you’re gonna sleep in here, cause I’m not having that!!!”
Takashi paused for a brief moment, as if he was contemplating his next actions. He then reached for the light and turned then off. Only the T.V light was showing. Panicking, I pounced to the other side of the room and turned the lights back on. He slowly started walking over. His soaked curly black hair was dripping.
“You’re not having what?” he said in a sharp tone. “And what if I do decide to sleep here? What are you gonna do about it? Your cat and rabbit aint here so you can’t do anything about it.”
He was just about two inches from me at this point. I never noticed how sad his expression was until I looked him in the face.
“Your just drunk my dear cousin, drunk. You don’t know what you’re saying to me. This is my room and your room is down the hall. Now I do realize that you’re tired so I will allow you to stay and I will go sleep in your room.” I said with an uneasy smile.
As I was beginning to leave, Takashi grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him. As he held me tight, I felt his wet jeans against my bare legs.
“Don’t leave me alone tonight. Please. I can’t take it anymore. I’m so tired of trying to live.”
“Maybe you just need some hot coffee. I’ll go make you some now.”
With that he let me go and I ran to the kitchen. I heard from a distance what sounded like crying. I stayed in the kitchen for about 15 min. before I went back to the room. I was relieved to see him asleep but saddened by the tears on his cheek. I couldn’t imagine the reason he had for crying. I walked around the room and turned the lights off. I couldn’t help but notice how handsome this cousin of mine was. His lips were slightly reddened and his hair was so soft. I leaned over him as he slept and gazed at his mesmerizing, sleeping face. I leaned in and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek before I turned off the bright T.V.
In the end I just held him tightly and warmed his cold body against mine.
