Tzuyu look distracted and it didn’t go unnoticed by Sana. Kazan is only a week away. Tzuyu need to stay focus. Whatever is distracting her must be stop. Like today, Tzuyu almost miss her turn around resulting her losing a second on the first lap. She’s taking too many breath at every dive. It’s slowing her down. Even Coach Park look rather confused with Tzuyu’s condition. Something is not right with the tan girl. Sana bite her lips as Tzuyu missing her rhythm again on the final lap.

 

“What’s going on?”

 

Sana keep looking out for her as Tzuyu finishing her rounds with Coach Park recording her timing.

 

“2.08!”

 

Tzuyu punched the water as she just adding in on time. Coach Park knelt beside the ledge with his left hand holding onto the podium starter.

 

“Hey, calm down. You don’t look like you’re supposed to be training today. Go out and get your mind clear. You’re not being yourself and whatever is running in your head, it’s distracting you. We’ll have another go tomorrow before your flight the day after. Okay?”

 

Coach Park pat Tzuyu on the head as he stood up and glanced towards Sana as if telling her that she should do something about this. Tzuyu is not telling him anything. He was hoping she would tell Sana. Sana slightly nodding as Coach Park walk away leaving the two alone. Tzuyu hiss as she punch the water once again splashing it everywhere. Sana walked towards Tzuyu and sat down on the starting podium as she keep her eyes on Tzuyu.

 

“Tzu.”

 

“Not now Sana.”

 

Sana sigh as Tzuyu just dismiss her away. Tzuyu pull her swimming cap and toss it next to Sana. She then threw her googles away as she dived back into the water and stay under it. It was her only method to stay calm; being surrounded by water. To be honest, she was still angry at her parents for the thing they have said a week ago. How could they? Is her happiness is not important as the gold medal? Why can’t she be happy? She just want to be happy and she’s willing to work it out. She’s planning on making her parents happy and she wants Sana to be happy too.

 

“Tzuyu, I’m going to hate myself for blackmailing you by saying this but I have to. Please get out of the water if you love me.”

 

Tzuyu heard every words but being her stubborn self, she stay put so that Sana will understand she’s not going up anytime soon. Sana huffed but keep her calm intact. Tzuyu can be childish at times and it is her duty to understand it. Just like how Tzuyu always understands her.

 

“Fine. You’re not coming up? I’ll dive in and let myself drown so that if I’m dead then I can haunt you every night for revenge.”

 

Tzuyu hastily diving up as she hold onto the ledge of the floor. She pulled herself up in a quick fashion hoping she’s fast enough before Sana do some stupid things and ended up in a pool pretending to be drowning.

 

“Okay! I’m here.” Tzuyu wipe her face from excessive water as Sana giggling happy to know that no matter what, Tzuyu still put her as priority.

 

“You look a little stress Tzu. You know you can share anything with me right?”

 

“I know.”

 

“And?”

 

Sana didn’t want to force her but it will be nice if Tzuyu would open up. But she can’t really hoping for it since she’s keeping secrets to herself. Tzuyu contemplating on whether she should be telling Sana about what really happened between her and her father but as soon as her eyes staring into Sana’s brown eyes, the thought of telling her diminish in an instant. This is her problem. She should be carrying this burden alone. Until the right time comes, this is the right decision.

 

“And, I love you so much.”

 

Tzuyu chuckling hard as Sana narrowing her eyes as she’s lightly tapping her feet on the floor and hands on her waist. Tzuyu playfully pinched both Sana’s cheek as Sana slapping her hands away.

 

“I’m serious!”

Tzuyu teasing smile grew wider as Sana manged to release herself as she locked Tzuyu’s head under her arms securing Tzuyu from moving. Well, Tzuyu can easily get out of this situation but she let Sana win so that she can divert her girlfriend’s attention away from her problems.   “Okay. You win.”   Tzuyu calmly stated as she wrapped her right arm around Sana’s waist.   “I don’t believe you.”   “What should I do so that you will believe me?”   “By telling me what’s going on with you would be a good start.”   There she goes again. Tzuyu used her strength since she’s slightly stronger as she pulled away from Sana grasp and smiling widely as Sana is practically glaring at her.   “Sana, let’s have a date?” Well anything to divert Sana’s attention away.   “Why are you keep on avoiding this?”   “I’m not baby. I just want a date. A date will definitely help me stay focus.”   Sana studied Tzuyu’s face and she knew that look. Tzuyu is not going to tell her anything. She will eventually but definitely not now. She can’t force her while at the same time Tzuyu is not forcing her either. Sana soften up as she grab a hold of Tzuyu’s towel and toss it to the tan girl.   “Go and get shower. We’ll have that date that you wanted.”   Tzuyu eyes beaming in happiness as she punch through the air celebrating her win in persuading the blonde girl. Sana just smile as Tzuyu took her bag and ran towards the locker room.   “Wait there okay?! I’ll be out in 5 minutes! Love you!”   “You’re so childish Chou Tzuyu.” Sana whispered as Tzuyu disappear into the locker room. When Tzuyu was gone, Sana heaved a heavy breath. One more week and that’s all the time she have. She knew what she’s getting herself into but as Tzuyu is put on line, she can’t back away. Do it or go home. A decision that she might regret agreed to.   “Tzu, we’re both going to win this.”   …..   “Say ahhh..” Tzuyu imitate the look of a happy child with mouth wide open and hand holding onto a spoon fill with a slice of chocolate cake as she ushered Sana to eat it. Tzuyu is so persistent on feeding her like a child and although it is kind of embarrassing, she have to admit that she enjoys this rare situation. Sana take the cake into and munch on it happily while Tzuyu scoop another for herself.   “Chaeyoung was right. The cake here taste so delicious!”   “I was wondering where you knew about this café. Thought so.”   “Did you just questioning my taste baby?”   Sana laughed as her palm automatically covering so that she won’t be attracting the public attentions. Tzuyu puffed her cheek as she ate another spoon of cake. Sana leaned forward as she lightly pinching Tzuyu’s right cheek.   “Sulking Chou Tzuyu is so cute.”   Tzuyu jutted her bottom lips out and rubbed her right cheek. She quickly grabbing on the plate of cake away from Sana with a smirks plastered on her face and eyebrows wiggling.   “I’m so not sharing this with you, smart .”   “I’ll order another one, genius.”   Sana almost burst out loud when Tzuyu look totally defeated and put down the plate. She poke the cake with her fork.   “But but, I want to eat this with you..” Tzuyu puckered her lips as she innocently mumbling her words but loud enough for Sana to hear. Oh my god. Sana fan herself as her girlfriend is so adorable that she would have lunged upon and kissing her hard on the lips.   “Ughh, stop doing those cute faces Tzu.” Sana retort as she try keeping her calm. Tzuyu grin as she showing more cute expression just to annoy the other girl. Sana take the fork away from Tzuyu’s hand as she scoop a large portion of the cake and shoved it down Tzuyu’s throat almost choking the poor tan girl. Tzuyu was too dense to realize what Sana did until the cake was shoved down . Sana smiling in an evil way as she continue eating the cake while Tzuyu trying so hard to munch on the cake and making sure it goes down without choking her up. With one big gulp, Tzuyu finally finish the large portion of cake forcing it down .   “Yah! You want to kill me baby?”   Sana seductively her fork clean just to tease Tzuyu.   “Why would I kill the girl who is my source of happiness?”   Tzuyu blushed as she shyly rubbing the back of her neck.   “I..I’m your s-source of happiness?”   “All the time.”   …..   “Have I ever told you how beautiful you are? Everything about you are so beautiful.” Tzuyu said as she gently ran her palm along Sana’s neck then towards her collarbone. The feeling of Sana’s skin under her touch always igniting her desire for her. Tzuyu changed her palm direction downward towards Sana’s chest as the other girl leaned further backward into her arms where her back graze upon Tzuyu’s chest. Everything right now felt so perfect. Sana face colour changed into a pink shades as she entangled her fingers through Tzuyu’s black hair. She moans as Tzuyu started trailing kisses down her neck from behind with her thumb grazing on her chest tip.   “Will I a-always look beautiful for your eyes, T-Tzu?”   Tzuyu smiling into the kiss as she’s now nibbling onto her girlfriend’s earlobe earning a soft moans from Sana.   “Always. Even after a hundred years have pass, you will always look beautiful to me and I will always love you.”   The feelings in her heart burst as Tzuyu confessing with all her sincerity layered along the beautiful words. To think that this could be their last night together, Sana felt tears pooling in her eyes.   The room that is so familiar to her since she was a kid look a little blurry by now. If only Tzuyu knew what’s going on in her mind. If only Tzuyu knew the pain and struggling she had to endure just to have Tzuyu by her side. Tonight might be the last time she’s feeling the warmth of the tan girl’s body. One that she will miss even afters years have pass. Sana blink her tears away as she felt Tzuyu flipping her around and laid her down on her bed as she hovered on top of her. Thanks to the dim light, the redness of her eyes were barely seen. Tzuyu look down on partner body as she’s smiling.   “All of this is mine.”   Sana closed her eyes as Tzuyu gently kissing her chest and begin on her tip. Her other free hand keep on massaging the other . Tzuyu is so good at this that the moment her tongue touch her tip, she swore it was already erecting hard making her squirming a little. Sana didn’t want to miss anything as she runs her hands along Tzuyu’s back feeling the sculpture of perfection in the form of her girlfriend’s body. Tzuyu backside is one to admire.   Tzuyu pushed herself up once again as she claims Sana’s lips kissing her hard. More passionate than usual ad it breaks Sana’s heart knowing the impact of her decision
