23 This Person Part 1...

I arrived 10 minutes early and he was busy seeing another client and was out, so I had to wait.

A minute before my appointment, he arrived.

I heard a car pull up and a few seconds later I heard, "Am I late?"

When I looked at the figure that stepped into Yoshino's office, his smile was frozen.

I looked carefully at this person and realized it was Yoshino.

He was still handsome.

I stood up and he walked closer.

Before I could speak, he rushed up to me and embraced me.

He hugged me so tightly, I wanted to pull away but my body went numb.

We stayed like this for a while, until I felt something cold drip down my neck.

I tried to pull away but he wouldn't let me.

He squeezed me tighter and this time I hugged him back.

Another while later, he slowly let go of me and when I looked at him, his cheeks were deep pink in colour and his eyes were red.

I placed my hands on his cheeks and the tears started falling from my eyes.

He wiped my tears away and placed his forehead against mine and said: "You're finally here."

Grabbed me gently by my neck, pulled me closer and kissed me.

I couldn't believe this.

I don't know what to do.

We stopped kissing and he continued to hug me.

-----

Being in his arms felt so right and I didn't feel guilty at all.

The warmth. It felt like I belonged in his arms, this was my place.

Yoshino still smelt the same, I wonder if he is wearing the cologne I bought him back then?

I missed this.

I missed him.

I started crying, all the pain from over the years flooded out and I started balling my eyes out.

I don't know why but for some reason I just woke up.
