Doka's mother let me sleep at her house and I haven't slept so well in a long time. Without feeling guilty, as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
I was very apprehensive when I went home today to change for school, but my parents weren't there. I looked in every room to make sure, they didn't leave a note either, i think i know why.
After putting on the uniform, Ryo calls me, I put the cell phone on my shoulder and held it with my head, while I finished getting ready.
"Hi...hi, Ryo!"
"Hi. Are you busy?" I hear his voice over the phone, I missed him even though I saw him yesterday.
"No, of course not..." As if on purpose my phone fell out while I was trying to tie my shoelaces. I quickly picked it up and put it to my ear again. "Sorry the phone fell out of my hand."
"It's okay...I just called because I missed your voice."
My heart sped up a little.
"So...anything new?" He asked me, since I didn't answer automatically, I fumbled thinking about his face.
"Well, I told my parents the truth."
"Serious?!"
"Yes!" I replied smiling. "But this is something I want to talk about in person."
"I also want to see you in person. We could hang out later." Ryo was trying his best to sound natural, but I could see his nervousness.
While talking to Ryo I looked under the bed. My clothes are mostly there, some I managed to hide in the closet, I took my yellow jacket and put it in my backpack, but keep looking for something specific.
"I would love to."I finally understand what people mean by butterflies in stomach, whenever I talk to Ryo I feel that way, even after yesterday. "Is there somewhere you want to go?"
"Wherever you want, as long as I'm with you."
"Have you always been like this? Because I don't remember you saying such nice things before." I said teasingly.
"I'm sure I've always been like this, you must have forgotten." I laughed imagining his smile.
"But…would this be a date?"
I heard Ryo sigh through the phone. "If you want to..."
"I want. How about you?" I replied without stopping to think.
"I also want."
After a long farewell, as none of us wanted to say goodbye first. I rummaged around until I found the piece of blue cloth, the bandana Murayama had given me.
