From betrotheds to lovers

Chapter 6

(A/N Notes: I managed to get this chapter done a few weeks ago)

With the marriage interview finished and the documents signed, the two families continued talking a little bit more as they waited for their rides to arrive to pick them up. Kazumi was still nervous when talking to Hansuke, but they were doing good progress in having more proper conversations, while Niko and Emma had gotten pretty friendly to each other already

As for Ichiro and Sakurako, Ichiro was the one leading the conversation with Sakurako doing her best to keep up

"Ah! That's right! Wanna exchange contacts, Sakurako-san?"

"Exchange contacts? Sure"

"Great"

The two exchanged their phone numbers without a problem, and Ichiro continued talking with Sakurako

"If you feel like talking with me, just give me a call or text me"

"Mn *Nods*"

Then a car arrived, that one being the one that Kazumi had requested from an app, seeing that his ride had arrived, Ichiro gave his farewells to Sakurako

"See you another day, Sakurako-san"

"See you, Ichiro-san"

Ichiro went towards the parked car and entered it, then the car began moving until it disappeared from sight as it turned a corner. Shortly after, a luxurious car appeared, that one owned by the Kogane family. They all entered the car and went back home

Some time later

It was dinner time, and the Kogane family was having dinner together as usual

"Ichiro-kun is surprisingly nice to talk with"

"I know, and he looked very elegant when he brewed us some tea"

Hansuke and Emma were sharing their thoughts about Ichiro with each other, as they were both impressed by how easygoing and talkative Ichiro was

"What about you, Sacchan? What did you think of Ichiro-kun after having a proper talk with him"

"What I thought of him? Hmm... He's gentle and nice, I guess?"

"Is that so, what did you two talk about?"

"We mostly talked about me, he asked me if he could call me by my given name, about my birthday... Ah! That's right, he asked on a date during my birthday"

"He already asked you for a date? He's pretty proactive, very different from Hansuke when we started dating"

"Hey, I told you not to tell her about that"

Emma was about to talk about how Hansuke was when they were both around the age of their daughter, but Hansuke stopped her before she spilled the beans

"Anyways, Sacchan. Did he say why he wanted to go on a date with you?"

"He said that it was to buy an engagement ring for me as a birthday gift"

"Oh my! That's quite bold and romantic of him. And is there anything else, that you two talked about?"

"Well... He called me cute... From the way, I was wearing my scarf back there"

" "... ... ... He's absolutely right!" "

Sakurako's parents agreed to Ichiro calling Sakurako cute since for them Sakurako was the cutest girl in the world. For the two, Ichiro was looking more and more fitting for Sakurako, each time they thought about it

Meanwhile

"Did I leave a good impression on them?"

"Stop worrying about that, dad"
