We sit down at the restaurant and he asks what I'll get. I pause for a moment... I don't know. He changes the topic to how I smell good before the waiter comes and I can't reply. Thank god, because the scent is from the sweater. Her sweater. It is amazing though. Very... I put on the hoodie and bury my face in it, placing both my hands to my nose with the sleeves aboves my palms, and I inhale the scent. Hers, her, who I'm trying to not think about right now. But, I can't... Not think of her... Especially when I've memorized her smell... I guess the way I put my hands in my sleeves and covered my face made it seem I was cold, and Mory took action.

"Need another jacket to go on top of that one?" He takes off his halfway mid-question, and I see his shirt lift a bit with the shirt. It reminds me of when she had taken off her sweater and her waist was a bit shown. The thought makes me blush.
"I'm n-not that cold, sorry if I confused you..." He pulls his sweater back on and adjusts it.
"Okay..." He seems defeated. I'm distracted from his sulking by the steps of someone walking behind us- No, two people. One, the clack of the waiter's shoes, and the other, a customer, I assume.

That's when it hit me, and I immediately glance at the table. There she was... Selena... She's so pretty, and she smells good from here... Her signature pine-sweet aroma is intoxicating. I kind of want to be over there now, with her. I don't want to be rude, though...
"Hey, Mory-"
"You're cute." He mutters.
"Hm? I couldn't really hear you, haha..." I laugh awkwardly.
"You're so cute, you know that?" Oh... I like the compliment..?
"Th-Thanks..." How is Selena doing? She's still as cute as ever- Hmh- Really cute, I'm staring at her, lost in thought, then turn back to look at Mory and feel her eyes on me just seconds later, likely catching my blush.

"I mean it, Rio," he puts his hand on my chest and I'm immediately reminded of her. Us, when she was "bullying" me, and poked me right where his hand is now. I remember my noise and blush... I wonder if she remembers. The thought of her and my reaction of her made me blush again, and assuming Mory thought this blush was from his hand, he leans closer and closer. Oh. Shit, is he trying to kiss me?
"M-Mory-"
"Everything alright here, sirs?" Ah, perfect timing! I'll keep in mind to leave a good review for... Fiona, it says on the nametag. Got it.

"Decided what to order?"
"I'll have-" I begin, he cuts me off.
"He'll have the sirloin rare-cooked, with the side of broccoli, and I'll have the same, with a glass of pineapple juice." Mory is ordering for me... Uhm... Well, I guess I don't like talking much anyway, but as she's leaving, I remember that I like my steak medium-well, the same as Selena... and I would've appreciated to tell the waiter- Oh, waitress, that that isn't correct... I see Selena call the waitress over and tell her something discreetly. Hm, I wonder what it is?
