Arrangements: Chapter 1
ok, so she wasn't a bimbo. I thank whatever god there is out there for that. When my mom went back inside Naminé pulled another lawn chair over by mine.
"So you're Roxas?" She asks setting her sketch book on her lap, hands folded on top of it.
" 's me." I nod and turn the page of my book.
"You know, I don't like this idea." Naminé says making me put my book down and look at her.
"Which idea?" I ask putting out my cigarette in the ash tray by my thigh on the chair.
"Arranging marriage for your kids. What if they don't fall in love?" Naminé asks and looks me directly in the eyes.
After a couple of seconds I break eye contact and look at the book in my lap.
"That's the point I keep making. What if it's just impossible for them to fall in love? What if it just would never work?" I ask looking back up at her again.
"Well, I wouldn't go so far as impossible," Naminé says with a small smile on her face. "I prefer not to say impossible." she stands up and sets the sketch book on her chair as she paces forward a few steps, her white ballet flats silent against the concrete surrounding the pool. "I just think it may be ridiculous," she says turning to face me again, "you know?"
"I think I know it is," I mumble in reply walking past her to the edge of the pool, sticking my feet and calves in the water and laying on my back, eyes closed.
"Why is that?" Naminé asks.
"Because." I stated and heard a car pull up in front of the house. I quickly scrambled up, stuffed my book in my back pocket, my cigarette pack in my front pocket, and hurried inside, apologizing to Naminé for rushing off.
My mom almost makes me slow down but then she hears the knock on the door and sighs.
I open the door and smile brightly upwards. Axel chuckles and kisses my forehead.
"Let me put on my shoes and I'll be ready," I say letting him in and dashing upstairs throwing on socks and my black white converse and sprinting back down the stairs only to trip and be caught by Axel.
"Thanks," I breath dazzled at how close he was
"Careful," He warns setting me back down on my two feet, facing him.
"I'm ready." I nod and walk with him to the door and out it.
"So where do you want to go today?" Axel asks.
"What about the park?" I ask wanting a friendly scene when I tell him about Naminé.
"Sure," he says and starts the drive to the Park.
