Citrus: My Way

Chapter 24

"Ahhh, that was so good!" Yuzu said.

Yuniko laughed and asked for the bill.

"I hope I wasn't a big mess." Yuzu said embarrassed.

Yuniko shook her head "No, I had a lot of fun talking to you."

Yuzu gave her a smile that showed her gratitude.

Before Yuniko could say anything else, a bill was handed to her for all the food.

"I hope I didn't order too much things..." Yuzu stood up, trying to get a good look at the bill.

"It's fine." Yuniko took out her wallet and got out multiple bills and paid it.

"That seems like a lot of money though." Yuzu worriedly said.

Yuniko shook her head "Let's go now, Yuzu!" She smiled sweetly but with a hint of sadness.

Yuzu could guess where that was coming from since it's nearly been a week and the wedding was tomorrow.

Yuzu grabbed her by the hand to cheer her up, not meaning any other way.

That surprised Yuniko but she squeezed it.

Yuniko's hand was warm.

"Alright, where to, Miss Yuniko?" said the driver with a black suit on with glasses.

"The airport please."

Yuniko was in the backseat with Yuzu, legs crossed and arms folded.

"Right, ma'am." He drove off without saying another word.

Yuzu's hand was placed on a seat and she stared out into the window.

They were now on a bridge, a blue ocean spreading across the sky.

Yuzu stared out until she felt a warmth on top of her hand.

It was Yuniko's hand.

"I know we've known eachother for a few weeks but I really hope if we do get married, we'll get to know each other better."

Yuzu looked into her pretty blue eyes deeply "Me too, Yuniko."

She smiled for the first time, a happy smile.

Not the smile where there is pain, anger, sadness in it.

Pure happiness.

If we do get married.

That saying kept echoing in Yuzu's mind.

What about Mei and Udagawa?

She clasped her hands over Yuniko's hand who was sleeping and squeezed it.

"Thank you so much, Gilbert."

The driver replied "No problem, Miss. It was my pleasure."

She smiled and gave him a wave before he drove off.

"Where's our luggage?" Yuzu asked.

"It's on the plane." Yuniko replied.

Right... They'd be leaving this place for a few weeks.

Yuzu turned around to look at all the buildings.

She'd never seen them stand out so pretty like that.

Why was that?

She felt a tug at her sleeve.

"It's time to go, Yuzu."

Yuzu had a sad, small smile showing.

Tears now forming in her eyes.

She nodded "Right."

Yuzu checked her phone which was shut off for a few days.

She had nonstop messages from Harumin, Matsuri, Himeko and others more.

They all said like "Mei told us what happend! Are you alright?" or "You haven't messaged us in a while, you okay?" and more.

Yuzu would be replying to them on the plane. After all, she had wifi data.

~
They were walking towards the plane which was a little bit bigger than all the public planes for some reason.

"Here it is..." Yuniko announced.

She didn't sound really happy about it.

It was a nice luxury jet which had a gold line in the middle.

Yuzu didn't widen her eyes in amazement.

She just wanted this to be over.

It was a few yards away and there was some stairs open for them to get on.

"Right this way, ladies." a flight attendant welcomed.

Yuniko was the first to get on.

She hurriedly got on.

Yuzu was a step on when somebody pulled her away from the stairs.

"H-Hey!" The flight attendant exclaimed.

Yuniko ran to the entrance, with a surprised look on her face.

"Huh?" Yuzu turned around to see who it was.
