Chika checked her phone's messages once again to make sure she had gotten the address right
"This is it!" Chika exclaimed to herself
Inside there was nobody for the exception of the clerk and the person who had called her out
"You-chan!" Chika smiled, waving to her
"Chika-chan!" You complied, waving back at her
They sat down on one of the tables and ordered their food, talking about menial things, like school or stuff they had to do.
"So, why did you call me out, You-chan?" Chika mentioned as a side-comment
"Well... I.. uhm..." You suddenly shyed, and became fidgety "I wanted... to talk about something with you"
"Hmm... Okay!" Chika awnsered happilly
"Uhm.. well its kinda tough for me to say..." You said while playing idly with her fingers, a small hint of blush forming on her face
"Well! Just out with it!" Chika impatienly said, inviting You to just let it go
"Uhm... well, okay!" You mustered up the courage to finally ask "Chika-chan?"
"Yes? What is it You?" followed Chika, smiling
"Can I... kiss you?" You finally let out, quietly and discreetly, her face completely blushing as red as a tomato
And as those words escaped the mouth of her life time friend, Chika was left dumbfounded
"Eh?" Chika managed to let go through her gaping mouth
"Y'know what forget what I said!" quickly follewed trail a blushing You "I knew you wouldnt get it..." You let go as almost a whisper
"No no! You dont understand You! I... I wanna kiss you..." said an also blushing Chika "Its just that..." said Chika but didnt manage to finish her sentence because she was suddenly interrupted by You's lips kissing her's
Chika felt so light and filled with happiness, as their toungues caressed each other's, she began to get carried away by the sweetness of You's kiss. Her thoughts ran through memories of them together from their childhood to You's diving competitions to their passing to high school to their heartfelt moments alone on summer nights and finally to when they became idols together and when they sang in front of crowds who were there to see them. And at that point, Chika realized she had been in love with You for so long, ever since those moments in their childhoods filled with the taste of the saltiness of the sea and the sweet taste of syrup on the snowcones they used to eat on hot summer afternoons, ever since she saw You on her swimming outfit, ready take upon the challenge of a perfect dive, always smiling, ever since she saw You smiling with her high school outfit on, cheering her on and to do good at school together, ever since those times on summer nights in which they stayed up looking at the stars talking about what the future might have for the both of them, and most importantly, ever since You despite being busy on her own, joined her on her idol dream, and on the stage in which they sang their feelings out to all those who wished to hear them.
They both stopped kissing to catch their breath, Chika eyed You's face, her eyes were prettier than ever, her lips seemed to invite her to keep kissing her, her blushing cheeks were so cute to her shed like to keep it to her own. And at that moment, Chika mustered up the courage to finally tell You what she felt
"You... I think... I think im in love with you" said Chika between breaths
"That's what... Ive been meaning to tell you... I love you Chika" said You, tears begining to swell up from her eyes
They sat silently, holding each other's hands, staring into each others eyes, the taste of each other still on their mouths.
"So... what now?" You finally breaked the silence
"Uhh... well i dont know! But what i do know is that youre most definetly my girlfriend now!" Chika awnsered, with a small blush on her cheeks
They paid for their meals and headed home holding each other's hands, stealing small kisses of each other's lips every single now and then.
