"DREW'S SECRET MELODY"

CXIX.
~:•:~

Drew's POV

Locket walked to my side and eyed me suspisciously which I returned with a confused look and she even turned the cap over my head along with her arm as well. I also glanced to her slender arm that extended over to my head and back to her.

"What are you doing??"

I noticed she flinched an eyebrow before she quickly took off her gray cap off my head and I only fixed my hair instantly too giving her a strange look that she only wore her cap backwards and walked ahead avoiding my gaze.

"Ts... I just made sure I saw you here by chance. Forget it... So you're with Ash, huh?? I was with Dawn just now and- Geez~"

Locket suddenly halted her pace when she sighted the counter as I was following after her. We saw Ash there who have just finished paying and I also saw Dawn already with that guy who were with the two earlier.

"Hm?" I tried to sound wondering who the guy with Dawn could be when I saw him and he was already talking to Ash.

"Oh?! Hey, May! Drew! Dawn's got a date!"

I heard the excited remark of that raven-haired when he finally saw us and Locket and I walked to them already. Dawn was rather not expecting Ash to shout that out that she likely blushed in embarrassment eyeing Ash and distancing herself away from that other guy.

"Uh~ That-that's not the idea at all~ D-rew~ Right, May??" Dawn was unsettled to explain to me and Ash only supressed a laughter that actually made it awkward for this other guy too.

We were even surprised when Locket flicked Ash on the forehead telling him to not shout in public and embarrass Dawn infront of the guy she named as Tyler.

"Alright... I won't do it again, May. I was just surprised to see him and Dawn together, okay?? What's the deal to flick me?? And are you buying something here??"

Ash spoke up fixing his cap and massaging his forehad that was already reddening.

"I bet Astrum Silhouette sure is a close-knitted band, huh?? I am glad to end up with you four here today... This doesn't happen everyday. My name's Tyler Adameon and you supposedly don't know me for sure..."

This guy smiled and Ash was cheerful enough to give him a warm greeting as well.

We then went out and Tyler was left to Ash's unending interview of questions especially when he found out that Tyler is an actor's son. I only walked behind them with both my hands in my pockets and Dawn and Locket were also into their conversations. Ash and I only bid goodbye to the three when we reached our motorcycles since it so happen that Tyler eventually planned and asked the two to dinner which I didn't really intend to meddle in anymore.

"Ah, A-Ash!"

Dawn ran back crossing the road when Ash already have ridden on his motorcycle and Dawn even took some breaths before she spoke yet again meeting Ash's gaze.

"Well... May and I were planning to buy something for your dad on his birthday so I wanna ask if he has a favorite color or something??"

Dawn said that made Ash to raise an eyebrow before smiling back.

"Really?! Woah~ Thanks, Dawn! I guess dad is pretty much into black and gray. Hehe... Though I am not sure~ Is that also one of the reasons why you went to stores??"

I was alarmed with Ash's question that I directed him a gaze but he seemingly did not recognize since he was too focus with his conversation to Dawn.

"Hm? Ah~ Yeah... Likely. Black and gray, I see... Okay. Thank you~ Uhm, and take care on your way.... See you tomorrow!"
