You thought and pondered and contemplated for a long period of time, upon the topic of what Osomatsu had to say about you. It must be your looks but also the fact that you weren't able to speak properly towards him. That was what made your head hurt and yet, you continue to think over that small detail: why had you not been able to talk to him, unlike that girl you just met in the posh cafe not too long ago? She was a complete stranger to you but Osomatsu had been in your high school. Was it because he was a man? No..you've talked to many male strangers when asking for help finding something in a shop or something else along those lines. Why was Osomatsu any different?
It didn't make any sense. With a groan, you looked on, into the mirror with a helpless expression. What were you to do? No matter how hard you thought, you couldn't come up with any other way of solving your problem. You didn't want to ask your mother, you would only feel like a bother to her; you're an adult now, you can fend for yourself.
From the corner of your eye, you saw your phone, perched on your bedside table. You couldn't ask your mother, but maybe...
________
"So...why are we all here?" a blonde with vibrant green eyes asked upon sitting down in an arm chair (Ava). A pair of twins with different shades of brown hair (Phoebe and Penelope) then took their seats on your sofa, sitting beside them was a hyperactive red haired girl (Willow) whilst the two remaining - one with wavy, white locks (Eloise), the other with curled green tresses (Harriet) - made themselves comfortable in the two available bean bag chairs.
"Well...I need your help." they tilted their heads in confusion at your brief response, urging you to state more, "I want to be more social."
"But you already are." Eloise voiced, her brows furrowing in more confusion, "Why would you want to be more social?"
"I know I am!" you voiced, the twins hummed in curiosity, eyeing you intently which made you nervous. "I-It's just around this..."
"This what?" Harriet pressed, you had fully caught their attention now.
"This boy." you squeaked out as a resounding gasp left the lips of every girl - except you - in the room.
"WHO?!" they questioned in union.
"Wh-what does his identity have to do with any of this?" you felt a little rude answering their question with another question, but you simply didn't get it. You just want to become more social, what was so important about the identity of the boy that made you revert back to your old bashful self?
"Do you have a crush on him?!" Willow urged, eyes seeming to sparkle in more excitement then they usually do.
"Wh-what?! NO!" the twins gasped and looked at each other.
"She stuttered!" Penelope pointed out.
"She's in denial!" Phoebe added before they both squealed and turned to you.
"That's not true!" you defended, your cheeks growing even more scarlet.
"Then what other explanation can there be?" Ava asked with a grin, her honey gold locks bouncing as she giggled in delight.
"I-...I don't know." you were defeated. It never occurred to you that you can feel that way about someone, especially someone you didn't have much interaction with. You can't believe it..no- you wouldn't believe it. It just can't be possible, but there's only one way to find out and that's until after you've become a better you. Your friends shared a look before turning to you with gentle smiles, holding back on their demand for who the lucky guy was that you were 'in love' with.
"Well alright then!" Ava announced, standing up with hers hands placed on her hips.
"We'll help you!" they claimed, making a smile brighten up your features.
"Really?" they nodded, "Oh thank you! I love you guys!" you thanked, running up to them with open arms.
"We love you too." there was a giggle as everyone was in the embrace.
"We'll sort something out for you and then we'll tell you about it in a day or two!" Harriet proclaimed as you nodded in agreement.
_____________
"We propose..." Penelope began.
"That you become..." Phoebe continued as you held your breath. Become a what?
"A RENTAL GIRLFRIEND!" they shouted in unification. You had all gathered at your penthouse again, minus their awe of your apartment, after Harriet informed you of something they've come up with.
"Not this again!" you groaned, flopping back to lie on your bed. This time, instead of your living room, everyone was in your bedroom. You were all having a sleepover for the announcement of what was going to happen.
"But it's perfect! It's the best way to interact with boys! You can do it." Eloise urged as you turned on your side and pulled a pillow to your chest, curling up.
"You don't have a choice anyway." Willow declared, catching your attention and making you snap your eyes open, "We've already signed you up"
"WHAT?!" you felt like crying when your eyes scanned the letter of acceptance. It was from a rental service that didn't make money because of the looks of the girls but through their personality, the manager of the organisation was an utter romanticist and seemed to be wanting to match people up through the little rental she's organised.
"We sent in an application for you and they've accepted!" Harriet bit her bottom lip to hold back her squeal but that didn't prevent the bright smile that was on her face. You were speechless with your mouth agape, you were trying to form words but you couldn't come up with the right phrase to say for your situation, not only that but even if you did miraculously have something to say, you didn't have the voice to say it aloud. Your vocal chords just gave out on your and didn't allow you to voice anything.
"So, what do you think?" Ava asked, turning your attention towards her. Suddenly finding your voice again, you spoke your thoughts.
"What do I think?..." you whispered to yourself, "What Do I Think?!" your voice rose in volume, "How can you guys do something so horrible?!" the urge to start crying salty tears was becoming even more tempting. What are you going to do now? You never asked for this because it's possibly the worst situation ever and your friends have mindlessly placed you in it.
"It's for your own good! You don't have to think of it badly." Phoebe explained.
"And if it makes you feel better, we've signed up and have been accepted too. So you're not alone in this." you fell back down and sighed.
"No...that doesn't make me feel better." they shared a frown, "I feel as though I've dragged all of you down with me - in a situation that you don't want to be involved in." they smiled.
"Of course not. We'll do anything for you Hun." Harriet stated in a loving manner.
"Now, please say that you'll try this out."
"Alright fine...I know that you guys had my best interest in mind so, I don't want to put your efforts to waste." you all shared a group hug as the wait for a rented date with you began.
