Back in the Days

Part9 - Love started

The next day, after work, I went to the college university and looked for Minami. She's still having a lesson discussion with her students, so I waited for a little while before she finishes her class. After an hour, I went to Minami. She was surprised that I'm there. "Oh, Gab! What are you doing here?", she said. "What else should I do? I went here because I want to see you", I said. I was thinking of confessing my love for Minami that day, but I don't want to make things happen so fast. I was looking for a perfect timing. I was thinking, Minami and I should watch a movie at the theatre. "So, how's class?", I asked. "Well, it was fine. My students were attentive, and I just finished discussing to them the 5th lesson.", she said. "Oh, that's pretty good to hear. Ah, by the way, are you free tonight?", I asked. "Well, yes. Why?", she said. "Oh.. umm.. would you like to watch a movie with me tonight?", I asked.. and I was a bit nervous. "Sure!", she said. "Oh, alright! I'll meet ya later, 8PM. I'll see you later! And wear pretty looking clothes, okay?", I said. "Oh, okay. I will.", she said. So later on, before 8PM, I was already standing in front of the theatre, waiting for Minami. And later on, there was a pretty woman walking, it was Minami! Well, she looked so pretty. It reminds me of the way she looked like when we were young. And so the movie started. The movie was good, and we pretty much enjoyed it. After the movie, we left the theater. While we were walking, I was starting to think on how will I confess my feelings for her. I wanted to grab her hands slowly while we were walking. After a little while, I had her hands with me. And she stopped, then slowly looked at me. "M-Minami.. I have something to tell you.. I..", I nervously said. But, it was starting to rain, and we forgot to bring an umbrella, so I was looking for a place to hide in. Then, I saw a phone booth at the corner. So, I grabbed her hand and we quickly went to the phone booth. We stayed in there for a little while, waiting for the rain to stop. During that time, I wanted to continue what I was going to say to her, but I became nervous already.. After a little while, she called me, and, "Gab.. I also have something to tell you..". I was wondering what she was going to tell me.. "What is it?", I said. "You first.. tell me the thing that you want to say to me earlier..", she said. Well, I couldn't take it anymore, my heart raced so fast, and I was so close to her, so, "Minami.. I.. I love you..", I nervously told her. Then, "The thing is.. I.. I love you too, Gab", Minami said. My heart raced again so fast, I don't even know what to do.. she was still looking at me.. then.. I kissed her. That was the best night of my life.
