Chapter 20: Identity Crisis

Forcefully, Koda throws my arms around her waist.

 

"Dance with me," she commands, so I lead. We're waltzing in a backroom somewhere behind the actual dance hall.

 

"Oh Alphonse..."

 

She's speaking to me like Im her lover. But I know I'm not.

 

"Koda...please, tell me whats going on here. Who was that girl? And why are we dancing? Where's Brother?"

 

She places a finger to my lips. "Ssh Al...forget your Brother, it's just us now. Just you, me, and these strong hands of yours," she said as she slips her fingers through mine.

 

I blush. "I...I..." I begin, but she doesn't allow me to finish. She pushes me against a nearby wall and kisses me.

 

I can't breathe.

 

I stand limp as she kisses me even more. I don't know what to do.

 

She breaks herself free from this embrace and looks me in the eyes. "Alphonse...don't you want to kiss me?"

 

I remain silent.

 

Koda slides her hands into my pockets. "You're worried about your brother aren't you?"

 

I nod.

 

She smiles. "Oh Alphonse..don't you think I thought about that? He's not anywhere near here...it's just me and you."

 

I stare.

 

She presses her lips onto mine, and this time I accept it. I pull her into me and feel her wrap her arms around my waist. It's a moment of pure bliss...

 

...at least it was supposed to be.

 

An image of that girl flashes in my mind.

I suddenly feel guilty.

OMG AL! I am mad at you! HOW COULD YOU?! Ayumi is a good match for you! She seems to like you! You should feel the guiltiest guilty! Interesting dream sequence now. I hope he remembers the other girl and won't kiss Koda anymore. I liked this chapter. Can't wait to read on. Thanks for sharing.
