Chapter 9
Nino Lahiffe lied on a futon over a pillow with his arms around it sleeping while drooling a little on it. Next to his bed, he had his smartphone lying on the night table charging with the phone charger, then the display lightened up showing the phone number of his commune mate Adrien, which was calling him at that moment. Nino opened his eyes groaning annoyed by the ring tone and grabbed on the smartphone to attend the call of his friend.
"Hey it's midnight and I'm trying to get used to the time zone here" The Moroccan complained as he had attended the phone call.
"Oh, what time zone is it now? " Adrian asked. "I think in Russian land there are more than three, sorry I don't know it, it's kind of confusing for me"
"Sure I believe you, what do you need from me or is there something that I need to know?"
"I've only got two days in front of me to arrive at the last stop in Vladivostok, where Kagami and I have to leave to go to the airport and I'm just concerned if Kagami won't fall in love with me after all that"
"Talk with her about the good old times, how much you miss them and if she missed the old times too. Bro, you still got a few days time in Tokyo to convince her that least give up the idea of the arranged wedding."
'"I have more the feeling that the way this is going, that nothing will happen between us"
"Don't give up, there are still a lot of chances in front of you. You just have to take those opportunities to make it work"
"Alright" Adrien responded silently. "Maybe this all wasn't a good idea in the first place"
"Let's wait for the last day, there is still hope Adrien"
"Sure I'll stand to it" Adrien declared earning a nod from Nino.
"Bye bro" Nino replied turning the phone call off and sight. "I don't think Adrien is going to feel all good after the failure" Nino said dropping his head on the pillow.
DAY 5
Adrien, Kagami and Luka were sitting in the cafeteria around the same table playing a card game.
"If I have a seven, I can beat any other card?" Adrien asked glancing at the raven-haired man, which nodded. "But why couldn't I beat Kagami's A?"
"I already have told you, that's how the rules are and how my mom has taught me. I can't explain why it's that way"
"But that's confusing" Adrien complained watching Luka pull the two placed cards in the middle of the table to the Asian woman.
"No, it's not that hard Adrien. Stop thinking about why it is like that. It's like you have never played any card games before"
"And I haven't"
"Not even Uno or any memory game?"
"Uh no, I think not. I had other types of cards, those pictures card, which I used to learn the names of the thing in the picture when I was younger. Also languages I learned with them."
"Okay, I think your childhood wasn't the most normal one, or Kagami's. Mine wasn't the best either because of the constant fighting between my parents"
"I think all of us didn't have a pleasant childhood, like the others this why all of us have more or less gained prematurely behavior" Kagami mentioned earning a nod from the two men.
"We can always be better parents in the future for our kids, right?" Luka asked earning a nod from the other two childhood friends.
"I would adore seeing us meet each other one day in the future when we all had our first child and have them get along well." Kagami explained the two men. ."Wouldnt that be great?"
"Uh yeah" Agreed Luka and Adrien, mostly skeptical about the idea.
"We could teach them this card games you showed us Luka"
"Sure why not" Luka responded. "Hey my drink is already empty, is anyone interested in a second round of anything? I offer this round?"
"I'm fine Luka, thank you" Kagami answered rolling her eyes at Adrien, which waited for his turn.
"A latte macchiato would be nice, " Adrien answered earning a nod from the raven-haired which walked away to the bar, where two clients are waiting to attend.
"Your friend Luka is a cool guy" Kagami stated earning a small nod.
"Yeah you're right" Adrien answered. "He has a quite different way to see everything unlike us"
"You two do have quite a few things in common. You love music, Jagged Stone, your favorite music genre is rock, you two adore perfume and are crazy about milk-containing drinks"
"Well, they say milk strengthens your bones..."
"But not with caffeine and sugar" Kagami added jokingly making Adrien chuckle.
"But it does make me sweeter, doesn't it?" Adrien asked making Kagami laugh, which Luka heard as he was the last one waiting for his turn and he looked back to seen the two laugh. Luka smiled at the two, then approached the two again, placing his hands on the table to look at them.
'"Hey Adrien I forgot to say, I have something to do and might not make it to dinner with you two, but you sure will make it good without me, right?"
"What dinner?" Kagami asked looking at Adrien and Luka.
"Oh, Adrien I thought Kagami already knew it," Luka said looking at the blonde winking with his right eye making Adrien realize, that it was the time to start his plan.
"Oh, I forgot to tell her as she went to phone again with her mother" Adrien invented making Kagami a little suspicious about the friend.
"I wanted just to be kind and have a nice evening with your two, but now it doesn't go, "
"I'm still here for the dinner, if you don't mind....almost like everyday"
"Exactly it's going to be like it was every day...uh nothing wrong about it"
"Yes, but you can tell me if you don't want me around"
"No, you can be around us, don't worry. I love it to have you around me. We're fr....friends, right?" Questioned Adrien making the Japanese woman nod.
"You two will have a great evening, even without me around" Luka assured holding Adrien on the shoulder, then Adrien looked up at Luka which smiled at the blonde as they passed the first phase of the plan. "Don't worry, I'll be around for you this evening, don't worry" Luka whispered at the younger Frenchman that nodded at his friend.
