Hiro and I started walking. He insisted that he will walk me home even if my house is a bit farther than his.
To evaluate my feelings for him, I don't think it's still enough for me to commit to him.
"Are you sure that's not too heavy for you?" I asked him since he is carrying my bag. It's a bit heavy though, that's why I asked him if it's okay. Since you know, when he ran he almost passed out.
"I think I can do much like this" he said. Maybe he knew what am I referring to. I smiled at him.
"Uhm Ayumi, can I ask you something" he said.
"Yes?"
He looks a bit worried. But I pretended I did not see that.
"Would you like to go out on Saturday?" he did not looked at me when he said that.
I bet he is shy again.
I did not answer for a while. It's fun when I see him all worried.
"I-is it not a good time?" his voice sounded worried and he looks pouty.
"Hmm" I pretended to think.
"It's okay if it's the week after that." He continued but I still pretend that I look "not" available.
"Where are we going?" I asked him.
"Uhmm, I don't know... Do you want to see a movie?"
He is asking me on a date!
A date....
"There's a new Sci-fi movie that's going to show on Saturday. Do you want to watch that?" his face suddenly brightened up.
So he likes movies like that.
"And we can eat after that, or we could play if you want. There's also new café beside the movie theater, it has cats so it would be a cute date place—"
"So it's a date?" I asked him.
"Y-yes" It's so cute when he's caught off guard and his face would look like he got caught when he's not supposed to be.
"I'll check" I smiled at him. I'm actually available but I want to say my response next time so we could talk again.
What did I just said?!
Talk again—
Haha. That was a mistake.
It is.
"Ayumi, should we go left or right?"
That was a slip of tongue. You know, when you make a mistake.
God, did I just say I want to talk to him again?!
"Ayumi?"
I mean it's fun teasing him and talking to him.
But that does not mean I want to talk to him!
I just like teasing him, that's all!
"Ayumi?" he snapped me out of my interrogation with myself.
"Y-yeah? Sorry, I spaced out" I said.
"We should go right" I said.
He looked at me confused.
"That's my house over there" I pointed at the brown gate.
When we stepped in front of my gate he gave me my bag back.
"Here's your bag" he smiled at me.
"Please go home safely, Hiro" I told him.
"Yeah I will—"
"Mom! I'm going out—"
Before I opened the gate my brother showed out.
"Where are you going?" I asked him.
"I'm going to my girlfriend— who's this?" he pointed at Hiro.
"That's Hi—"
"Oh! I know you! I know you! You're the famous gamer in our club right?!"
Gamer?! Club?! Hiro?!
"You're HiroHero123456789!"
What's with that username?....
"Yes! That's me! How come I do not know you?!" Hiro's way too excited now.
"I barely join club meeting because my rank is too low, maybe I'll drop by next time!" Ino's carrying a huge bag.
"What's with the bag?" I asked him.
"Oh, t-this is clothes a-and some of my stuffs"
"clothes? why do you have clothes?" He looks suspicious right now.
"Wait you said you're going to your girlfrie— WHAT WILL YOU DO HUH INO?!"
This boy! What is the doing carrying clothes to his girlfriend?!
"I'm sorry I'm in a hurry! Bye sis! See you again Hiro!"
"Ino! Get back here! Mom?!"
"Hey calm down, I think it's nothing bad" Hiro said. I glared at him.
"N-no I mean I saw he is carrying a costume. I think they are doing cosplay—"
"Cosplay?! You don't think I don't know that?! Why would he do cosplay in his girlfriend's house?! And when did he got a girlfriend!"
"He better come home before the sun sets or else I will tell mom!" I went inside.
"Hahaha! You're so cute when you're mad, I'll go ahead Ayumi." Hiro smiled at me and he closed the gate.
Me?! Cute when mad?!
I never thought of that.
"Take care Hiro!"
