One Hope ∞ Nishimura Riki

Chapter 3: in the landscape

" We don't need to sleep" he smirked.

—

" What do you mean?" I felt so embarrassed.

"Do you want to play videogames?" he laughed at my reactions.

"Ah, euh... okay..." I was so shy.

" Let's play fifa, it's so funny " he said.

"I don't know how to play..."

"It's okay I will teach you how to play".

He took the controller, placed it in my hands, and used my hands and my fingers to teach me how to play. I was looking at him, trying to understand how to play, but at the same time I just admired his face, with a little smile that I didn't notice.
His hair fell over his face, and his long eyelashes and his moles gave him an intense charm.
We were in the dark, so I couldn't see the details of his face.

He caught me , again , so I wanted to avoid his gaze.
At that time, I just thought I was being stupid. Why am I looking at him like that when he was right next to me?

"Let's play, now!" I tried to avoid the awful situation.

We played during hours , while laughing and screaming when one of us made a goal.
At the end, I managed well, even if it took me a while to understand, but despite that, he played better than me.

" Pff , I don't want to play anymore.."

" It's okay , you are just the loser little girl, you are too lame." he teased me without any pity. 

" Why do you call me little girl?"

"Because you are cute and you look like a little girl when you are scared. "

"I'm not scared, stop talking nonsense again. "

We laughed again for minutes before Riki noticed that the sun was already rising through the window. That means, the night ended and it was time to go to school.

" Oh my god, it's already 8 o'clock? We must go to school!"  I said. 

The night passed so quickly with him. It was as if an hour in his presence seemed to me like 5 seconds.

" And if I suggest you to go somewhere, would you like to come ?" He asked to me.

He seemed a little guilty with his questions.

" But—"

He grabbed me without letting me finish speaking , he pull me closer to him, he took my hand as he ran outside. Then, he carried me , and he put me on his bike just behind him.

"Hug me tighly." he said.

I didn't wanted to hug him, but when he started, I could feel my heart leaps. I screamed  and gave him a big hug automatically. At the same time, I could heard him laughing at my actions.

"Little girl" he muttered.

I didn't know if he thought that I didn't hear him. He was so loud.

We arrived in a sort of plain filled with flowers. The magnificent land where we were, there was no one else. No presence. Like some kind of dream. This land seemed to be a kind of a boundary between dream and nightmare, reality and dream.

He approached me before taking my hand, leading me throught the blooming flowers. I admired the beauty of the place, of the landscape without noticing that he was taking me closer to him. I looked at him and he was admiring the same way as me , with sparkles in his eyes.

The landscape was so amazing, flowers petals floating on the sky, with the sunny and warm air.
I still amazed by the beauty of the nature.
