R.K ♡

08

Rika held her hand in mine as we walked down the empty neighborhood street. This whole thing reminded me of the first time we ever hung out with each other alone, granted that was only a couple of weeks ago. She wasn't the same girl I met back in June. I feel like I've opened up a whole other side of her, one she never shares. Of course, I still wonder things about her but, I feel that it's best to let her share those things once she's ready.

"Y/n? Where exactly are you taking me for dinner?" She looks over at me as I was shuffling the playlist that we were listening to.

"I...Don't know. But as we walk I'll figure out something, so if you're wondering why I'm walking so slow, now ya know."

Rika laughs at my comment. She goes in front of me and walks backward, just to keep an eye on me.

"Might wanna figure it out soon, you know, for our little date and all"

"R-right."

"Awh cmon! You love when I call it that!" She starts running down the empty streets, holding my hand. I repeatedly tell Rika to slow down but she doesn't listen. She only fully stops at a crosswalk littered with people. I catch my breath to the best of my abilities and drag Rika over to the side to stand. Both our phones are blowing up with messages so I take it out of my back pocket and see whos freaking out about what.

I shut off my phone, too flustered to respond and Rika prompts me to start walking along with the crowd of people. I turn to my right and see a poster, barely hanging onto the post by a piece of scotch tape. I rip it off of the post and read it, trying to keep my eyes on the road as well.

'Carnival in town! Every Friday-Sunday from 10am-12am. St. Adress: XXX-XXXX'

"Didn't your older brother tell you about that or am I hallucinating?" Rika asked as we reached the other side of the street.

"Maybe.. You think you'd enjoy it?"

"Only if you're there with me"

she really has to stop doing that. We stop in front of a somewhat expensive Italian restaurant and we walk up the rundown steps.

"Welcome to casa del cuoco! (im sorry) Table for 2?" Rika nods her head and we follow the waitress to a little booth in the back. The dim lighting, the wine bar, and the slow music really makes me feel like we don't belong here. The waitress puts down two menus and walks off, telling us to order when we are ready.

"The fuck do all these words mean?" 

Rika was scanning the menu, clearly struggling.

"Don't they have like a picture book or something?"
