The Dirty Nerd - Chapter Ten

I called Chyio over for a pep talk about my entire situation about me kicking Michio out of the house. I didn't fully do so because I had to pack his clothes to throw them outside,

"So this is it? You're done with him?"

"Pretty much. I've it had with him. I should've known that this was going to happen, but I, unfortunately, ignored all of the red flags because of his reassurance."

I was pretty embarrassed and I was hurting, but I didn't show it that much,

"Yuuto, please."

He paused and then grabbed my hand to give it a small squeeze,

"Don't blame yourself. You just loved him, that's all. It's not your fault."

I pulled my hand out of his grasp and kept it to myself. I knew that he was trying to comfort me, but I didn't need that type of comfort, not right now anyway,

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Can you help me pack?"

"How about you just relax for a while? We can always do that later."

I wanted to relax, but at the same time I wanted to start packing his things as soon as possible but he was right. I needed to relax. I sighed and sat back in bed,

"Fine, whatever."

"How about we watch some TV? I'll make us some popcorn, I'll get us some wine and we'll—relax. How does that sound?"

I scoffed and shook my head,

"That'll be nice, Chiyo. Thank you."

"Perfect! I'll be back. Find a movie that you'd like to watch. Anything is fine with me."

He then got up and exited my bedroom to do what he needed to do. In the meantime, I fetched my remote and turned on the TV to go on Flexfix to find a show that we might both have enough. Definitely not a comedy, those never work out. Romance sucks, especially with what I'm going through, thriller—not sure. Fantasy? Maybe, but Horror was my go-to spot for movies. I scrolled through the horror section to see what was the most popular horror by many; Haunted Mansion. The name threw me off, but—it was a start.

My phone began to ring before I could even press play. When I picked it up to check the caller ID, I braced myself, hoping it wasn't Michio. Shockingly, it wasn't. It was Chyio. I immediately answered it out of confusion. He was right downstairs, too,

"How much salt do you put on your popcorn? Oh! And, which bottle of wine would you like to drink tonight? We got Joyus and Fre."

"Joyus and don't sprinkle too much salt please and thank you."

"Alright, see you in a bit."

He then hung up the phone straight after. I chuckled and shook my head from such a ridiculous call. I kicked back and relaxed, beginning to think about Michio and what he was doing right now or where he was,

"Stupid, Michio. Why are you doing this to me?"

I looked down at the hand that had the promise ring on it. I didn't hesitate to take it off to place it on the nightstand just so I wouldn't be reminded of him,

"I'm back! But the popcorn is still popping."

I glanced at Chiyo and saw that he brought the Joyus wine and two wine glasses for each of us. He placed it down on the nightstand near my promise ring which I desperately didn't want to be reminded about,

"Hey, can you do me a favor?"

"Sure, short stuff. What's up?"

"Can you take that promise ring and place it somewhere else for me? Somewhere far away from here."
