August agreed that they would meet before lunch. And during their 'lunch', August had learned that she likes white and grey; and she loves playing guitar; and hates the Math subject like most people are.After their 'lunch', they decided to walk around the around the city. They went at a dress shop and tried on some fancy clothes. Harry would put on colored glasses and posed awkwardly at August. They would end up laughing and exchange some meaningful glances. After all the fancy dresses, they went in an ice cream shop and enjoyed the luxurious feeling that an ice cream can offer.
Next was a toy store, August can't believe that he was there, what the hell would I buy here?! then again, Harry kept on talking and talking. Anything that she sees that have good memories, she would tell August and he loves hearing them all. He liked imagining small Harry playing barbie dolls with her playmates.
And somehow, August ended up at Harry's apartment.
"Welcome to my humble home!" she said when they entered the simple yet cute living room. She opened the yellow lights and August can see the colorful posters of people he doesn't know, some of it are the influential cartoon series' called anime. He sat down on the couch and watches her disappear into a room that he assumes to be her room.
His eyes roamed around her apartment; a typical kitchen, a living room, a comfort room and her room. Probably different than the dull apartment in front of his house. From the outside, the apartment has different gates for different rooms; while the apartment in front of his house has only one gate.
In fact it looked like a typical grey house with a pale red gate and roof, at first sight, you wouldn't think it's an apartment.
"Come here August, I'll tour you around!" she said when she came out of her room.
August stood and expectedly, Harry took his hand and pulled him around her apartment.
"As you can see, this is the kitchen, I just got my groceries yesterday. That's why I saw you at the market too. Then, the one you were sitting on was the living room of course! The little door to the left is where you go comfy, aaaaand the last door there is my wonderful room!" she said happily and take August's hands in hers.
"Wanna see it?" she asked, smiling at him.
"I think I've seen enough." he replied and smiled at her too. He wanted to say yes; he wanted to stay; he just wanted to be with her. All day, he's thinking about only her and he can feel the fondness and the despair to be with her and the desire he has for her is eating him.
"Anyway, Harry. Thank you for the awesome day." he kisses her hands and stare at her brown eyes.
"I'll see you tomorrow." he added, he winks at her before he let her hands go and turn around to leave.
Five to six steps later, her voice stops him.
"August." she whispered, he turn around and find her approaching him. When she was in front of him, she looks at him as if looking at his soul then she sighs.
"I like you." she said, she surprisingly hugs him and hide her face to his chest.
"I like you very much. I hope you don't hate me for that." she added, her voice muffled by his chest. She look into his eyes and inhales sharply.
"I don't want you treating me like a girl; like a student! I'm a grown up girl August." she hides her face again. "I'm not just a student." she added and tighten her hug on him.
August was surprise, and he didn't had time to argue to himself because he hugged her too. He inhales and exhales then talks.
"I like you too, Harry." he replied. "And I don't hate you for it. In fact, I like it." he added. Harry wriggles out of his hug and happily meet his eyes. Her lips forming a big smile.
