Shining My World

Chapter 34

Hiro drove us to a little sushi spot. After getting our sushi, we decided to sit outside under a tree. "Aren't you going to see some collages soon?" Hiro asked.

"Yeah... I have to pack..." I said softly.

"Where are you going exactly?" Hiro asked.

"California." I said. "Layla and I had this planned for a while."

Hiro smiled. "That's cool. Just be careful."

"I will be, don't worry." I smiled.

Hiro's dark eyes shifted to mine. "I'm going to worry, it's a given. You have pepper spray right?"

I giggled. "I have kitty knuckles, a  spike and pepper spray."

Hiro smiled. "Good, but I don't think you can take the kitty knuckles or the spike on a plane."

"This is true... I didn't think about that." I said softly.

"Either way it's all good." Hiro smiled. "You have things to defend yourself."

We finished eating our sushi and cleaned up. Hiro grabbed my hand as we walked to the bike. I spun around after getting to the bike, standing on my tippy toes, I pressed my lips softly to his.

Hiro placed his hands on my cheeks. "I love your kisses." He said softly. I smiled. "Come on let's get going."

I nodded and put my helmet on. I got on the bike after Hiro got on. I wrapped my arms around his waist as he pulled off. As he drove towards my house, I thought about what Layla and I had planned. We were young kids at that time and things changed now that we are older. She's with Derek and I'm with Hiro. I patted Hiro's chest to get his attention to get him to stop.

He pulled over and took his helmet off. "What's wrong?"

"I-I actually need to talk to Layla about something." I said softly.

Hiro nodded. "Where is she?"

I pulled out my phone and called her. "Layla, where are you?"

"I'm with Derek at the mall." Layla said. "Why?"

"I need to talk to you about something. Can I meet you there?"

"Yeah, I'll be in the food court waiting. Where are you at?"

I looked around for a moment. "Probably about ten minutes away."

"Ok, I'll see you in the food court." Layla said.

"Ok." I said and we hung up. "She and Derek are at the mall. She'll meet us in the food court."

"Alright." Hiro nodded. He put his helmet down and buckled it back. I did the same and I wrapped my arms around Hiro's waist. Once at the mall, we walked into the food court. I looked around for a moment. "Over there babe." Hiro pointed.

I looked then nodded. We walked over to Layla and Derek. "Hey girl, what's up?" Layla asked with a smile.

"Yo, Hiro, let's check out that store right there while the ladies talk." Derek suggested.
