Can you Sing for Me? (MiMo)

chapter 11 [2/2]

Momo sauntered across formal garden, holding notebook in hand. After school she thought to have a walk in hope could get inspiration for their new song. But she hadn't decided the concept of the song.

"Romance? nah, friendship is better."

Moment later she found herself standing in student representative's garden. Apparently her feet would always prefer the place. She looked around at the garden. It was lit by warm orange color from evening sunlight. She then sat upon grass behind hedge, the place where she bumped into Mina months ago. She folded legs and put notebook open on lap.

Momo scratched her skull in frustration. She spent half an hour only for two lines. It was more difficult than she had thought."I'm stuck, can't get the feeling."

She laid body down on grass. Garden lights turned on as night approached.

"What are you doing here? This is my place."

Momo was startled and quickly sat up. "Hi," she greeted Mina. But the girl didn't greet back. She wondered if the girl was still angry at her.

Mina sat down but put some distance between them.

Momo stole a glance at Mina. The girl wore a navy blue sweater with black sweatpants, hair tied up in ponytail. The still looked beautiful with casual clothes. Mina put book before her starting to read. Apparently the girl was still mad. Momo closed her notebook and pushed body off the ground. But Mina grabbed her hand pulling her down back to her former place.

"Who says you can't stay," Mina said without looking at him. She released his hand. "Who's that girl?"

"What girl?" Momo asked back and got her light punches from Mina.

"Mina! hey! stop it!" She caught the girl's hands.

"I saw you having lunch with another girl," Mina said. She pulled hands off and reached for his belly.

"Ouch, Mina, stop it!" Momo cried. She pushed Mina's hand, rubbing her poor belly. "My belly did nothing wrong to you."

Mina once again punched his forearm.

"What? It wasn't like we're dating," Momo said but then slapped head mentally when Mina moved gaze away. "Mina, wait." She grabbed the girl's wrist before she could leave. "It's not like that, I mean..." she said but then got confused herself. 'Mean what?'

"You mean what?" Mina waited.

"She wanted to thank me for helping her before, remember at my first day?"

Mina knitted her brows but then she could remember the girl. "But why did she kiss you? And you let her kiss you," she said and hit his forearm with fist.

"I don't know, Mina!" Momo quickly caught Mina's hand as the girl once again reached over to pinch her belly. "She just kissed me out of blue, I didn't even realize it." Mina looked at her skeptically. "Look, I thought it would be rude so I agree to have lunch with Kei, just lunch, I don't know if she has feeling for me or whatever it is," she explained in one breath. Mina just stared at her with unreadable eyes and it confused her.

"I'm sorry, I..." Mina stopped her by capturing her lips.

Mina placed hands on his jaw, brushing her lips against his soft but firm lips. She had felt it earlier, jealousy, when that girl kissed him. She didn't like it. Perhaps it was selfish but she couldn't bear to see another girl touch him. She leaned closer, moving her lips against his.

Momo was overwhelmed by the sudden kiss. This time the kiss was different from their other kisses before. She could feel the jealousy from the kiss. It felt like Mina was marking her as her own. And oddly to tell the truth perhaps not really she found it cute and made her happy to know that Mina was jealous. She lifted a hand, cupping Mina's cheek, returning the kiss.
