"come on kiri! i'm in the water already!"

sayaka said, her voice coming from the lake. 

it's around 6 pm now and our car ride of 3 hours has ended about 30 minutes ago, and we came to the private area sayaka's relatives has in this forest. it's really fresh and relaxing here, i already like the place. 

when we arrived and made the tents in 30 minutes, sayaka wanted to swim first. appearantly she and her family come here every year, as she told me in the car, and her favourite thing to do here is to swim.

so we both wore our swimsuits. sayaka ran fastly and jumped in the water already, being very excited. me on the other side, i was putting my clothes back in my luggage.

i turned around and looked at sayaka's luggage. it was wide open, and her clothes thrown on the luggage. i smiled at how excited she was to even not put her clothes back in the luggage.

"coming"

i said as i got out of the tent and walked to the lake.

sayaka was already in the water, her hair wet.

i sat on one of the rocks, putting my legs in the water.

"pretty swimsuit, kiri! it suits you"

she said and swam towards me.

"thanks, sayaka... yours is prettier"

she smiled at me and then held one of my legs.

"thanks! and if you don't get in the water anytime soon, i'm forcing you in!"

"okay, okay, i'll come, just give me a minute"

"i can't wait a minute!"

she said as she pulled my legs to the water.

"hey! okay, okay, i'm coming"

i got into the water, right next to sayaka.

we swam for a while, talking about random stuff. it was fun getting to know her. sayaka is such an interesting person for sure.

"hey, you two! it's dinner time!"

"your relatives are calling for us, come on"

"aww,  i was really having fun"

we got out of the water and went to our tents to get our towels. after taking a very quick shower and dressing up, we went to the campfire where we were going to eat dinner.

we sat at the plastic chairs and sayaka's relatives handed us our food. it was grilled chicken, appearantly sayaka's relatives knew how to use barbecue.

the food was very nice. while eating, they told us everything we were going to do here tomorrow. it sounded fun.

i expected sayaka's relatives to be rich snobs but i guess i was wrong- well, not wrong about the rich part. they really are rich. but they are nice too. very much.

after we finished eating food, they also brought out dessert. i was already stuffed so i gave half of mine to sayaka. she finished my plate too.

she told me that her health coach didn't really allow her to eat desserts at all, but that today was a special day and she could cheat on the program a little.

"well, it would be for the best if we went to sleep now, guys... we'll need a lot of energy for tomorrow"

i grabbed my phone and checked the time.

11pm.

that quick? it feels like we arrived here just 10 minutes ago.

"alright, we'll sit a little more while and then go sleep"

sayaka said with a smile.

"okay, but don't stay up much"

sayaka's aunt said as they went to their tent.

"good night"

sayaka said, her voice being followed by silence for a few seconds.

"so... kiri, has it been fun so far?"

"very much, sayaka, thank you. your aunt and uncle are so nice and caring. i'm glad you invited me"

a loving smile appeared on sayaka's face.

"thanks, kiri! also... i need to tell you something, you know? the thing i mentioned on the phone call..."

"oh, yes... go ahead"

i heard things i never wanted to hear. appearantly, sayaka's parents didn't want me to talk to sayaka because i'm a maid. whoa.

sayaka began to tear up.

"sayaka? sayaka, don't cry, it's- it's okay"

"i'm so, so sorry... i- i can't help it"

sayaka wiped her tears and then suddenly...

suddenly, she hugged me.

she sobbed while her head rested on my shoulder.

"i- i'm so glad you came, kiri"

"sayaka... thank you"

"you're welcome"

she sighed suddenly she began to shiver.

"let's go to the tent, okay? you're getting cold. and, it's late."

"o-okay"

sayaka and i walked to our tent and and got in.

we both laid on the mattress in the tent.

we were laying on the same mattress.

we pulled the blanket over ourselves.

we were using the same blanket.

and then we faced each other.

"do you feel better now, sayaka?"

"yeah, i do... thanks to you, kiri"

i gave her a little smile.

"you have such a pretty smile, kiri... you really should smile more often"

"t-thanks, sayaka"

and then there was silence for a little while.

"kiri?"

"yes, sayaka?"

"you're my best friend..."

she said and sighed.

i smiled at how sweet she was.

"thanks, sayaka"

"you're welcome"

"good night"

"good night!"

she said as she turned over to the other side.

she... she's so sweet.

too sweet.

sweet enough to make people fall for her so easily.
