When love begins, chapter one

Chapter one
I had fell in love with her long ago, but I hid it all this time…
-------------------------------------------------
I was back, back in a town that I hadn’t stepped foot into in over ten years. Yet even after all this time my mind was always on her, her beautiful red hair and blue eyes. She had been in love with me and I knew it, I felt the same, however I couldn’t let anyone see my feelings for her. As I walked through the town I waved at all my old friends and even stopped to talk.
“Issei! It’s been so long, how are you?” her voice was familiar, but it wasn’t her. I turned to see a pair of brown eyes staring up at me.
“Manoki, I’m good. And you?” I smirked as it had been far too long since I saw her, she was the only family I had left.
“Issei, stop with that stupid face!” she always was so mean to me… “How has life been treating you?” she asked with her oh so concerned look upon her face.
“Good, I guess you could say..” I drifted off into thought, all I truly wanted was to see her…
There was a hand gently swaying in front of my face “hellooooooo, Issei!”
“I-I’m sorry Manoki, I’ve had a lot on my mind lately”
“Oh honey, go home and get some rest, I shouldn’t have bombarded you so soon after your arrival.” She smiled and waved me off, as if to force me to go home. Honestly though I wasn’t so sure I wanted to be left alone with my thoughts.
The next day I awoke to a bright blue sky and the sun shining brightly upon the land. I have to go grocery shopping, I thought to myself as I began to get dressed. I grabbed my wallet and went on my way, I remembered a nice store around the corner that sold all of my favorite things and that was my destination. As I walked in I noticed everything was still the same as it was ten years ago. The same yellow paint on the walls and green tile on the floor, the same old man who ran the store and the same dim lights that only allowed you to just barely see what you were looking at. I walked slowly through every aisle looking for and filling my cart with groceries. As I turned down the last aisle I searched “twizzlers…twizzlers… seriously, they’ve got to have them here somewhere.” I was just about to give up on my search for my delicious treat and check out until I heard a giggle. The very same giggle I had waited ten years to hear again…
