A Mysterious Girl meets the Nerd Guy

Chapter 03 - Treat!

As I'm about to leave, someone called me from the back. And it was...

Soujiro Akiyama. My childhood best friend when we were little up until recently. I left without saying something to him. And today I'm feeling guilty for what I did. He is the only friend I had since daddy won't let me play outside. He is the only son of the ambassador, as what the maids told me.

"ELI!!" sou called as he approached me. I stopped and turned around. "Hey!" I answered. "You're not in a hurry, right?" Sou asked.

"Not really," I answered. "Great!" Ano kaya balak nito? "Eli!" Ai called. "Yes, Ai?" I answered. "Can I live at your house? That's if it's okay with you," Ai asked.  Oh I almost forgot. She's an orphan now, although her parents are still alive but they kicked her that's why it's similar to being an orphan.

"It's alright! You can always live at my house," I answered. Kitang kita sa mga mata niya ang ningning nung pumayag ako. "You're the best, Eli."

Napalingon ako and saw Sou looking at us. I almost forgot he's still here. "Oh Ai, this is Soujiro. Soujiro this is Ai," I introduced them both to one another. "I know her," Sou stated. o.o I'm shocked to know that Sou knew Ai. 

"I know him too hehe..." Also Ai. I smell something fishy from the two of them. "Well as you were saying?" I asked out of blue to break the silence. "Oh how about I treat the two of you at the dinner tonight?" alok niya.

"Gladly," Ai answered. "hmm.. You two can go, I have one thing to do right now," palusot ko na mukhang hindi uubra sa kanila. "But you just told me earlier, you're not busy ah," reklamo ni Sou. He gave me the puppy eyes, the thing he always do to make me agree nung bata pa kami. 

"Well, fine!" he won once again.  I hate that puppy eyes. I can't disagree with that look on his face. I'll just search for Furi tomorrow.  I wish pumasok na siya bukas.

We went into a diner where all of the food were expensive. The scenes were magnificent. Hindi ka na magtataka na pang mayaman ang diner na ito dahil sa good service, magnificent view and the expensive foods. Is it really fine to be treated by a commoner? "Sou, are you sure you can afford these foods here?  Isn't it a lot?" I stated hoping he will reconsider but it's the opposite "It's ok... I can afford foods here. Now choose anything you'd like," Sou stated and gave us the menu.

The food are all expensive even the water. How come this diner has a lot of expensive stuff e.e

I chose the foods that are cheap. Para hindi sya malakihan ng gastos. "Eli, are you on a diet or something?" Sou asked teasingly. Am not! I'm just doing this para maliit lang ang gastos mo! You should be thankful!  At syempre hindi ko masabi yan sa kanya. "I'm not!" is the only thing I've answered that made him grin. He ordered most of the menu and that surprised me.

The foods were all place on the table. "Okay the foods all here. Let's eat!" alok niya. I can't believe he ordered most of the menu. Can he even afford that?  I looked on the food that were expensive and saw a spaghetti lying on the table. Come to think of it,  the foods that were prepared on the table were all my favorite. It's making me crave. 

o.o "Hey Sou, can you really afford this?" I asked.  "Yea! no worries," Sou answered. I hope so... We all ate the food Sou prepared for us. Nakakahiya din naman na tanggihan siya sa lagay na yan at isa pa 'I'm starving'. 

After 30 minutes of eating, we finally finished all the food. "Thanks for the meal," I stated politely. "No problem," he answered with a smile. "Thank you too!" Ai stated.

After that expensive and nakakabusog na dinner, we decided to go home. "Hatid ko na kayu," alok niya. "No need," I refused his offer but he insisted. "In this night, you two going home together alone? I can't even imagine the things that might happen since you two are both girls in this dark road walking," Sou stated with a grin. He has a point. We're just girls!

I looked at Ai. She just nod signalling it's okay for her. Hays, ano pa nga ba?  "Well, okay. If you insist..." I stated. "Good!" Sou responded. 

We all walked into my house while we talked a little. After 10 minutes of walking we arrived at my house and saw a guy wearing black suit with eyeglasses standing in front of the door. He is my personal butler.

"Hiragi, kanina ka pa diyan?" tanong ko. "Yes! my lady," he answered.  Hays... "How many times do I have to tell you, you can wait for me inside, but not outside," lagi niya na lang ako hindi sinusunod. What will I do with this guy, geez.

"Sou, this is my house now. Thank you sa paghahatid," I stated and smiled gently. "Yeah, thanks!" masigla na sabi ni Ai. "No problem! See you tomorrow," he responded and winked. After he stated that, he turn around and started walking away from us.

We looked at Sou as he slowly walk away from us. Nung hindi na namin matanaw si Sou I decided to enter the house at inalok si Ai, "Ai,tara!"

I went inside first then sumunod si Ai. Maid gathered in a straight line and sabay sabay bumati "Good eve, milady" I just smiled at their polite greetings. Mga limang maid lang ang pinadala ni mommy since kaya na daw iyon.

Kahit nga h'wag na eh but mommy insist. "Alam mo, the maids are useful lalo na't napasok ka," parangal niya.

Kesa na humaba pa ang parangal, I didn't argue anymore. "Now you understand?" mommy stated. "Yes,mommy!" and that explain the maids here at my house.

We went straight at my room and change into our pajamas. That dinner made me so full. Sa busog ko, I decided to watch a movie before going to bed. "Hey Ai, Let's go watch a movie before going to bed," alok ko that made her jump in the couch.

She was ready to watch. As I prepared the movie, I saw an unfamiliar DvD. So I took it and hide it on my bag. Maybe I'll watch that if I have a time. I played the movie and sat beside Ai.

We watched the movie and finished it for almost one hour. I turn around and saw Ai crying a little. "Oh Ai?  Why are you crying?" I asked without thinking.

"Pano ba naman kasi that movie has the same situation as me," Ai answered. Ay oo nga pala. Bad ELI! "Sorry na hehe..." I didn't even consider the theme of the story.  Well next time I will be careful.. I said so to myself.

*Both Yawns*

"Well let's sleep, maaga pa tayo bukas," alok ko. She just nod and sumama saken papuntang room. "You sleep there, I sleep here," utos ko.  Humiga na kami and ilang minuto pa lang, I fell asleep.
