Sena

Just what mess did I get myself into?

Right now, Yuzuru had decided to stick along when I said I planned to have breakfast at a nearby café. It was my older sister's place who is actually a huge fan of the guy who's accompanying me right now -- Yuzuru Hanyu, the two-time Olympic gold medalist and just the world's greatest skater.

You could say I am definitely done for. I don't even know how to explain this to my sister!

Just this morning, I decided to take my usual spot at the park to continue canvassing. It became a hobby of mine to pass time when I don't have that much clients in my studio. I was there doing my own business when a guy (who turned out to be Yuzuru Hanyu in the end) suddenly entered the frame.

I had to stop whatever I'm doing because he was there, blocking the view. But boy, how I was wrong when I finally realized that he was the perfect element my art has been missing.

So I sketched him out and while I was at it, a young boy who was watching me asked for the drawing. I gave it to him since it was just a sketch. If I only knew I will regret that decision soon when the boy suddenly handed it over to Yuzuru, I wouldn't have given him the drawing at all.  And this wouldn't all happen in the first place!

My train of thoughts came to a stop when we arrived at the coffee shop. Yuzuru went first and surprisingly opened the door for me. I couldn't help but feel my heart skip. What can I do? It was such a gentleman thing to do and I was weak with that. Not all men I've encounter treated me like that.

I mumbled a thanks and sheepishly smiled at him before going inside. We chose the second table near the window and I stumbled a bit on my way there. Yuzuru chuckled, and I let myself get swallowed by the ground in embarrassment.

"Should I order?" He asked which I quickly denied. "N-No, it's okay. Is there anything you want?" Instead of answering, I returned his question with another one. It's for the best actually, since I can't afford my sister screaming her lungs out when she sees her favorite skater ordering at her shop. "Just an avocado juice will do."

After paying, I was about to take the tray filled with Yuzuru's drink, a latte and cheesecake for me when someone grabbed it first and beat me to it.

"Oh, thank you." I could only mumble in surprise after seeing him take it and bring it to the table. Please tell me how gentleman he can get.

I sat in front of him and started with our food.  We spent the whole hour having small talks but I couldn't care less. I was glad that he tried his best to break the tension and awkwardness between us and he did.

We went out of the café at about 10:15 am and was relieved Sera, my sister, wasn't there to interrogate me about the company I'm currently having. We went back to the park again and decided to part ways. A wave of disappointment flew through me when I saw him turn his back and head towards home.

I never thought I'll miss his company until now.

Sighing, I headed towards the other way to the bus station to go work at my studio. Will I have a pile of appointments waiting for me, or do I have to go home disappointed and being able to be unproductive again?

"Sena!"

I stopped between my tracks and jerked my head towards the familiar voice who called me. Yuzuru was jogging up to me and I couldn't help but notice how adorable his hair bounces up and down. What a silly thought.

"Yes?" He stopped just a few steps from me and I had to look upwards due to the obvious height difference between us. Curse me for being inconveniently short.

"Can I have your number?"

Just like that, I felt as if I went bungee jumping and my heart beat became insanely crazy. "W-What?"

I heard him mumble "Am I too fast?"  to himself so I tried to fight the urge to smile. "I mean, it's for business purposes. I wanted to contact you if I plan on ordering a portrait. You did mentioned that you own a studio, right?"Of course. I'm so stupid for expecting something!

"Oh, yeah, sure!" I said and gave him my phone as exchange for his. It went on fast and I didn't even realize that I was staring at Yuzuru's number for too long until he cleared his throat to gain my attention.

"It was a pleasure to meet you, Sena. I hope I can see you again!"

"You too, Yuzuru. I really enjoyed your company."

I waved him off goodbye with the brightest smile plastered on my face that I can give to a man. Something just radiates off of him that makes me all goody inside and makes me helpless.

This day didn't turn out so bad after all. I'm starting to think the young boy played cupid on the both of us even if it's a bit silly and foolish.  And what's surprising is it didn't bother me now like the way it did before.

Probably  because I finally wanted to believe on something again. Or on someone.

A/N: Heya! This came in late and short but I hope you bear with me for now. I just had some trouble I had to handle so I couldn't update sooner -- really sorry.

Although I do plan to make up for it, so expect a long-ass chapter for the next part! Ciao~!
