I'm eating alone here at the pasta place near the university.
Ayumi has a project that she needs to finish so she's not here.
I want to see her.
"Here's your take out sir" the waitress gave Ayumi's take out.
"Thank you" I said.
I can't wait to give this to her. I finished my plate and was about to go outside when my phone was rang.
"Who's this?" I said as I answered the phone.
"You don't have my number?!" I checked the caller ID and it was Kun.
"Oh my bad, I did not check the caller ID" I said.
"You have to go here right now, we have an additional requirement for the written report"
"What?! I thought we're done with that!"
"Unfortunately, we missed some procedure so we have to rewrite the methods"
Fuck. That's all I can say.
"Can I just drop by Ayumi? I really have to give her a food. She hasn't eaten yet"
"Yeah sure, just hurry"
I hung up the call. I plan to stay longer with Ayumi but I guess it's not happening today.
Damn it.

Poor Ayumi, she's working hard! I hope I can help her, but I have to leave right away.

"Ayumiiii?" I peeked at the room Ayumi mentioned to me.
"Hey~" she responded but she's not looking at me.
"Here's your truffle pasta" I entered the room and she's still focused on her paper.
"Hmm! It smell so good!" she immediately checked the plastic I placed on her desk.
"How's it going?" I asked her. Well it won't hurt to stay for 5 minutes right?
"It's so hard Hiro... I think I'm gonna pass out before I can pass this" she's squinting her eyes and stretching her legs.
"Do you want a massage?" I stood up and went behind her.
"You know how to do it?" I started massaging her shoulders.
"You have gentle hands Hiro" She said.
Wait...
"Right theree"
"Is it helping?" I asked her. We look like... we're dating!!!!!!!!
O//////O
"Yeah... by the way, aren't you going to Kun?"
Oh right!
"Ah yeah! H-haha... I think I'll get going" I grabbed my bag from the chair beside her.
We look like we're dating....
Do we?
This is...making me feel weird...
"Hiro, are you okay? You look so red..." She looked at me.
Do I?!!!!!!
"Uhh, I think it's because of the heat, I have to go... Bye Ayumi!"
Heat?! It's so cold today what the hell am I saying?!
-
"Hiro, you're so damn amazing." Kun patted my back. We just finished adding 5 pages worth of procedures to our paper. That was exhausting.
"I'm so grateful to have you Hiro" I looked at him.
"Shut up" I told him.
It's already past 5PM.
Should I grab a bite with Ayumi? Yeah, I think.

Hiro: ayumiiiii ^_^
Hiro: shall we eat ??
Hiro: tell me anything u want to eat ill go with u
"Ayumi again?" I hid my phone immediately when I saw Kun peeking at it.
"When will you two make it official? It's so obvious" He said
"What's obvious?"
"That you two like each other"
Ayumi, likes me????
"R-really?!" But she said she still don't like me.
"I mean, she won't let you hang around her if she doesn't like you. Am I right?"
"I don't know... But she told me to wait"
"Ok dude, your call" he threw me his hands around my shoulder.
"I'll get going, since you'll have dinner with Ayumi. I'll eat by myself!" He grabbed his backpack and waved at me.
I checked my phone but she did not reply to me yet.
I guess I'll wait for a few minutes.
"Hiro?"
I heard a few footsteps coming to me and when I look up...
"Hey, it's you! Long time no see, Hiro"
