Kiyomi

The purpled-hair girl blinked twice.
Who is she fooling? It's got to be her.

"Hey dude you good?" Gary asked, looking up at me.
The other people in the restaurant were now staring at me.

I walked up to that Japanese girl and stared at her directly in her eyes.
"You're that girl aren't you? The one that night."

She stared at me blankly.
"What night?"

I blinked.
And then she blinked.
That's definitely her voice.

We stayed there looking at each other in the eyes for about a minute.
But she still didn't admit.

I'm sure it's her.
Why would she not be if her face became red for a split-second?

I leaned in closer to her.
"You...do you want to join me in the underwear section for the best one I can wear?"
I asked again, like that night.

Her face clearly lit up bright red this time and she turned around, patting her cheeks.
I could hear her breathing in and out.
"Relax, I won't rat you out. I'm guilty of that robbery too." I said calmly, keeping my tone quiet so no one could hear.

That old lady had a shocked face when she saw that I leaned in.
Like chill woman, I'm not seducing your employee.
Gary also had a shocked face, but he placed his fists up in the air as if to say 'yeah get it boy!'
He needa chill too.

The girl in front of me sighed.
"Fine. You figured it out. Genius. Who knew we'd meet up again?"

Yeah, who knew.
Pervert.

"So you are Ena's sister?"

She nodded and extended her hand.
"Kiyomi Akiko, pleased to make your acquaintance."

"Raymond Lyder." I replied, taking the hand and shaking it.

"Who's that lady over there that keeps staring at me? Your manager?" I asked.

She chuckled. "My mom."

Oh oops.
"She's very...young." I said, not looking into Kiyomi's eyes.

Lies.
That was a lie.
She's very old.

"Wanna join my friend and I over there?" I changed the subject.
Kiyomi glanced back at her mom to get her approval and began to walk with me to Gary.

Gary whistled.
"My mannn, you know a lot of fine girls."

I rolled my eyes to the back of my head until my brain almost split in half.
"This is Ena's sister, Kiyomi."
Probably older sister since Ena is so immature.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Ena's younger sister." Kiyomi said, and I fell out my chair again.

I got a few glances and Gary face-palmed.
"My name is So-Bin but you can call me Gary."

I still can't get over the fact that she's younger than Ena.
I played myself. My knees feel weak.

"Hey K-kiyomi...if you're younger than Ena, how old are you?"

Watch her be twelve years old.
Just watch.
"Oh we're fraternal twins. We don't look alike, but I'm 3 hours younger than her technically."

Oh.
My knees are strong again.

Kiyomi sighed. "But I haven't seen her for months. I'm worried sick."
