サクラの花キス

Part 3 - A special guest

-Hina! Come out! we want to see you in your uniform!, Akiyama shouted.
I came out from the bathroom dressed up. Akiyama and my mother clapped their hands and together shouted "cute!".
-Okay, we need to go, now! Or else we will be late, my mother said.
The whole family got in the car. Akiyama, mother, dad, my little sister and me.
When we arrived, many guest were standing outside the big house, it was so many people that now even all of them could get in.
-Okay, here's the plan! Dad and Aiko is going in, or at least tries. Me and Akiyama is getting everything ready and you, Hina, you're getting in to the kitchen. Okay let's go!, mother said and walked out.
We all walked different ways. I was pretty sure where to go, but my body was still shaking though I weren't so scared at all.
When I walked in all of them said hi. They all seemed very kind. But after greeting me they all got back to work.
-Excuse me, what should I do?, I asked one of them.
-Oh, Koizumi Hina, welcome!, he said and smiled, you're going to fix the drinks, and your help has already started!
I nodded as he showed me the way to a little  tiny room. When we walked in some stood with his back against us.
-Okay, I'll leave her to you, Yoshida-kun, he said.
-Y-Yoshida?!, I asked shocked.
-I'll take care of her, he answered and turned around with a pleased smile on his lips.
The man nodded and walked out.
-Hina Koizumi, he said, nice to see you again.
-It's Koizumi Hina, I cut off.
He laughed.
-I'm sorry, Koizumi-chan.
-You at least know that. What should I start with?
-Just do what I do, understood?
-... Okay.
It was just to begin.

After a long time doing drinks together with Yoshida-kun and washing all the dishes. But after a while he disappeared somewhere, I didn't even notice it at first.
Suddenly he came back. He walked close to my face and smiled.
-Huh?, I mumbled.
-You're really cute, Koizara-chan, he said and laughed.
I felt how much I started to blush.
-Hey, let's go outside.
-Why?
-Get some fresh air? We actually have our pause right now anyway.
-He didn't tell me about a pause.
He took my hand.
-Because I asked for one, he said and laughed.
He took 2 alcohol drinks and opened the back door and walked out with me. He sat down and opened one of the beers. He looked up at me with a pleased smile and reached me the open beer, and took the other one for himself.
I sat down besides him.
-Beer?, I asked thoughtful.
-You've never tried drinking before?
I didn't answer. I heard how he started laughing loud.
-What's so funny about it? We're only 17 anyway!, I mumbled.
-You are, I'm not.
I looked at him with a thoughtful face.
-You're not 17?
-I'm 18.
-But.. you go in my class and...
-I wasn't smart enough.
He took a sip of the beer and smiled.
-Why do you smile?
-I don't really care about that, I'm just happy I met you.
I felt how my cheek turned rose red again as I tried to hide it by looking down at the beer.
-You look pretty smart, he suddenly said.
-Me? No no, I answered with a laugh.
-Probably smarter than me.
We gave each other a smile and laughed.
-Maybe you can teach me?, he asked.
-Like what? I'm not that smart, I answered.
-Just learn me all you know.
I started laughing again.
-Okay okay, it was a stupid question. Who cares about that? Try it!, He said and laughed.
-Okay okay! Don't push me too hard, I answered and took a slowly sip of the beer.
And I didn't remember more after that.
