Two young ladies were currently sitting at a table at the farthest corner inside a Café shop. One of them was looking absentmindedly outside the glass frame while the other one was currently sitting unabashed, her eyes on her Mac , typing vigorously, trying to take no heed at the girl in front of her but to do her work only.
The waiter came to them and asked for their orders hesitantly, eyeing each of the two girls, wondering if they heard what he said. The brunette had been snapped out from her daydreaming as she heard the forced cough from the waiter, signaling their attention. She blinked a few times and turned to the waiter with a smile ordering a slice of strawberry short cake and a cappuccino, while the raven haired girl ordered a chocolate mint cake and coffee without even sparing the poor waiter a single glance. After receiving their orders, the waiter hurriedly left their table.
The brunette sighed heavily while trailing her fingers at the rim of the glass of water in front of her.
"I miss him Hotaru."
The raven haired girl suddenly stopped what she was doing to lift her face up and glare at the brunette.
"Mikan, just how many times should we open this topic in order for you to be satisfied?"
"It's Natsume's fault!" Mikan retorted, ignoring what Hotaru had just said.
Hotaru rolled her eyes, her face full of annoyance. This girl wasn't obviously going to listen to her so she decided to just listen in order for this topic to be closed faster.
"Then do tell me on how is it his fault?"
"He said he has allergies from cats. Well, he made me choose, whether it's the cat or him." Mikan muttered as she crossed her arms and pouted which others would find as cute but unfortunately Hotaru didn't.
"Either way, it's too late now. Just get another one. "
"But he's special. He doesn't talk much and he's lazy but I still love him." Mikan was now trying to recall their fun times together.
"Whatever"
"A lot of children loved him Hotaru. Even if he's not that playful, whenever we come to the park, the children always go near him. They love playing with him. And when I'm alone in the house watching a movie he always comes to me and sleeps on my lap. I love it when he nuzzles for my hugs, and now? He's gone!" Mikan cried dramatically, furiously burrowing her face in her hands.
The waiter who had left a while ago had returned with their orders and eyed Mikan anxiously before going to the other table to take a customers order.
Hotaru's patience was seriously running out. Any minute now and she could go on a rampage, leaving her idiotic best friend inside the café.
"Stop being over dramatic Mikan. There are tons of them out there, even in the streets you could find one!"
Mikan lifted her face up and tried to think what her best friend just said.
"You're right Hotaru! I shouldn't be down like this! I just remembered I found a cutie at the pet store yesterday." Mikan stated as she hurriedly grabbed her bag and stood up, fixing her coat.
"I'll be going first Hotaru."
"You're leaving already?"
"Yeah, my cat's gonna kill me if I let him starve."
"Okay. Bye idiot"
As Mikan was heading to the door, she turned to Hotaru once again.
"Let's meet at the mall tomorrow okay? We'll look for cute guys" she then went outside chirping happily.
Hotaru remained as she was still drinking her cup of coffee.
"I still can't believe she chose the cat"
My husband said it was him or the cat... I miss him sometimes
