CHAPTER ONE

It was cold out. Very cold. More so than the last few days. Osaka shoved her gloved hands into the pockets of her itchy tweed trench-coat and waited for him to arrive. Her plaid scarf blew in the biting wind.

"Where are you?" Osaka whispered to herself. Her breath formed a light cloud of condensation for a brief moment and then dissipated. Anxiously, she shifted her feet, housed in furry "Ugg" style boots. A light dusting of snow was beginning to coat them. It was nearly too cold to wait outside. He would understand if she retreated inside. Osaka turned, opened the door to the restaurant and went in. A gust of snow followed her. She hastily shut the door before anymore could come in.

"Sorry 'bout that…" She apologized to general populace of the store. They did not seem to mind. She walked over to a table, pulled a chair out, and sat down. She produced a cell-phone from her pants pocket and pressed his hotkey. In a moment, she was talking to him.

"Hey there Osaka." He said casually. "I am seconds from you. Just rounding the corner now."

Osaka looked around. She was startled when he tapped on the glass near her. Her boyfriend was wearing a woolen peacoat and blue jeans. Osaka was glad to see him. He entered the restaurant and sat down next to his girlfriend.

"It's cold out, huh?" said he to break the ice.

"Sure is! I was waitin' outside for ya, but I thought man it's too cold to do that!"

"Indeed it is. So, shall we eat?" Said the young man.

"LET'S!" Cheered Osaka happily. The patrons of the eatery glanced at her. An energetic girl with a strange accent.

And so they ate. It was a burger joint, so Osaka a chicken salad whilst her mate ordered a cheeseburger and fries. Occasionally, they would feed each other either a spoonful of salad or a few fries. They enjoyed doing this. It made them feel like husband and wife. Afterwards, they went to Osaka's house to consummate their love. Of course, they had done such things before, but each time seemed more special, more sacred. Plus, it was provided immense mental and physical bliss.
