When Love Hurts 39
********************

“You should rest and tomorrow go to the hospital” said the doctor “It’s just a dislocated shoulder but it would be better if you take some tests. Just to be sure”

“Ok”

The girls left the room after the doctor gave Hitomi some pills against the pain. She was lucky that it was just a dislocation. Now the shoulder was at her place again and she just would feel a little aching for some days.

“I’m glad that it wasn’t worst”

“Why are you still here?” asked Yossi turning to look at the other girl “I’m not gonna die so you don’t have to pretend anymore”

“I’m not pretending” said Ishikawa really serious “I was worried. If something happen to you…”

There was a silence. Both girls looked at each other without knowing what to say. Then, Rika took the first step and went closer.

“Why have you done it?” she asked placing her hand carefully upon the hurt shoulder and letting it to slip down on Yossi’s arm.

“I’d have done the same for anyone. Don’t think that you’re special”

“But…”

“That I can’t stand you it doesn’t mean that I want to see you being hurt” continued Yossi.

“Well, that’s better than nothing…”

Hitomi was tired and made a new attempt to leave but there was Ishikawa’s hand again to hold her.

“Let me go” demanded Yoshizawa.

But Rika-chan didn’t obeyed and made quite the contrary. She went closer to Yossi and surrounded the taller’s waist with her arms.

“Thank you” she whispered burying her face in Hitomi’s chest.

Yossi thought that maybe, for once, she could forget everything and just hold her. The earthquake was a shock for everyone and she had to be still scared. A friendly hold it wasn’t going to hurt anyone… At least, as long as Rika could keep it friendly and she didn’t try anything else…

“It feels so good to be in your arms like this again…”

In her mind, Yoshizawa agreed with Rika’s words. It feels good, really good, even too much if she despised the girl who was in her arms. That couldn’t be right.

“Don’t mix things, Ishikawa…” she said trying to move away.

Rika took advantage of Hitomi’s injury and made her stay close. Then, she saw a pair of silhouettes that she knew perfectly and took it as a perfect opportunity for her plans. Without warning, she raised her head and captured Yossi’s lips with hers.

The taller wasn’t expecting that move and caught her totally unaware. That’s why she couldn’t react for a few seconds. When Yossi finally realized, she pushed Ishikawa away with her good arm.

“What do you think you’re doing?” she demanded remembering her angry against the girl in front of her.

“I could ask you exactly the same” said a cold voice behind her.

Yoshizawa didn’t need to turn her head to know who the owner of the voice was. She knew it, and she was going to regret the moment of weakness that she had before with Rika.

“The girls said me that you were injured but you shouldn’t be so bad, don’t you?”

“Don’t talk like this Miki” said Yossi “You know things aren’t how it looks like”

Fujimoto didn’t reply. She just took her girlfriend’s hand and looked at her eyes.

“Come on, I’ll take you home”

After the girls left, Matsuura looked at Rika who was smiling with pleasure after what happened.

“If I didn’t know that’s impossible I’d tell that you’ve done all that on purpose”

“You think I’d hurt Yossi just to make my plans work?” she answered offended.

“No, of course not. But I don’t know how you manage to be always in the right place at the right time”

“I’m a lucky girl?”

Rika-chan smiled devilish and turned her back to Aya leaving the younger alone with her thoughts.
