MFW: How We First Met- Yuta (part 2)

...Today is finally the day...

Yuta had been chatting with his new online romantic interest for a few months now. They'd finally arranged a time to meet up. While she was on her flight to Japan, Yuta had been preparing all day. He had even convinced Kunihiko to keep Long Island empty for just this one night. Everything had to be perfect so he didn't at least look like a big goof in front of Asrid.

"25 minutes left, Kuni you said you would keep the place empty!" Yuta's expression was a mixture of anger and anxiety. Kuni only smiled as he cleaned a glass "I did." Yuma frowned at Kuni and gestured to the usual gang sitting and drinking at the bar. "I thought you meant keep other people out of the bar tonight." "Kuni! I only have 24 minutes and 6 seconds left, and you a-!" Kuni chuckled a bit to himself and cut Yuta off in the middle of his frantic sentence of panic. "Relax, would you. I explained to them what's going on and they all agreed to leave before your date gets here." Yuta sighed in defeat and rans his fingers through his curly, dirty blonde hair for about the 7th time that night.

...

It took what seemed like forever but the other guys had finally left the bar, leaving Yuta and Kuni there alone. Kuni was busy washing out some glasses while Yuta sat at a table nervously looking at the time. He hadn't had a date in so long, of course he was nervous. How could he not feel so insecure around the other guys when all he could do was compare himself to them. They were all his best friends, but he wasn't a prestigious lawyer like Takao, a brilliant scientist like Ren, an excellent teacher like Yamato, a screen writing heart throb like Saeki, and definitely not a successful CEO like Kuni. Why would a gorgeous woman like Asrid settle for someone like him?

Yuta heard the bell attached to the door ring as someone walked into the bar from outside. He glanced up and saw that Kuni was no longer standing behind the bar, just how long was he daydreaming for? None of that mattered right then. When Yuta looked over at the door, he could feel the air get caught in the back of his throat after he gasped in complete shock. Asrid was even more beautiful in person. He had seen the picture she'd send him and even interacted with her over the few video chats they shared, but none of it could compare to the real thing. She was everything that he imagined and more: Tall, long, exotic when compared to the average Japenese woman. She was also coming towards him.

"Excuse me, But...you are Yuta, yes?" She smiled down at him as he remained in his seat, staring up at her with a look of pure fascination. It wasn't long before he snapped out of it. "Oh yes! I-I'm Yuta Kajima. But, please, call me Yuta." Asrid flashed him a very warm and excited smile. "It is so wonderful to finally meet you, Yuta!" She sat down across from him and continued to converse with him, even after Kuni brought them their meal, even after it was finished. She and Yuta shared yet another laugh after he told her another one of his jokes. Yuta couldn't help but stare at her from across the table as he watched her continue to laugh. Finally, he spoke up, unable to ignore the one question he had been afraid to ask the entire night.

"I'm sorry, but, may I ask you something?...Why are you here?" Asrid blinked once she heard the question. "Ex-excuse me?" "I mean...We've been talking or a couple months now, and you know I'm a comedian. I'm not successful like a lawyer or doctor and you're a very very beautiful woman. Any man would be lucky to have you....but why did you choose to be here with me?" There was a moment of unbearable silence between them. Asrid's glance shifted a couple times, giving off the impression that she was uncomfortable which, of course, instantly made Yuta want to apologize. But before he opened his mouth, she finally responded. "I choose to be here with you because you are different man." His eyes widened a little bit, but she kept talking. "Plenty of 'doctor or lawyer' men ask me on dates because I am pretty. But you are different than them. You make me laugh and smile." She giggled a bit and smiled at Yuta. He stared back at her after hearing what she just said, his cheeks growing a deeper shade of pink after ever second that went by. Tonight was going to turn out even better than he had hoped.
