" A Love Confession"
"Uhhhhhhhhh..." Amu moaned on a friday morning.
"What is it Amu-chan?" Dia popped out.
"I still remember what Ikuto did to me last monday."
"Well you know that Ikuto loves you, Amu-chan."
"Don't even say a word about love today. If I hear love again today, I'm going to puke!"
"Morning Amu-chan." Rima walked beside Amu.
"Morning Rima."
"Um, Amu-chan can I ask you a favor?"
"Yeah Rima. What kind of favor is it?"
"Um are you free tomorrow?"
"Um not really. I have to go with Mom and Dad to help in the shoot. Why?"
"Um could you invite Nagihiko to go to the beach tomorrow?"
"Hm? Why Nagihiko? Won't you invite the others also?"
"Um you could pretend to invite them but, tell them to text Nagihiko tomorrow morning that they can't come and you also please."
"Um sure. But why only Nagihiko can come?"
"Because...because...because..." (Blushing)
"Because what Rima?"(Clueless)
"Because I love Nagihiko!" (Nosebleed)
"Eh?(Dot dot dot)Ehhhhhhhhhh?"(out balanced)
"It's true Amu-chan. I was liking him as a friend at first but, soon I noticed that I already loved him."
"So you want me to set up you guys on an actual date?"
"Yes. But don't tell him please. I want to confess to him tomorrow."
"But why now? You could had done that months ago."
"It's because I want him to stop me from marrying another guy."
"You really love him that much huh?"
"Yup. So please as my bestfriend?"
"Sure anything for you Rima."
At the classsroom...
"Hey Nagihiko, um, are you free tomorrow?"
"Oh hey Amu-chan. Yeah, I am free tomorrow. My practice was rescheduled next weekend. Why?
"Do you want to go to the beach with the others tomorrow?"
"Yeah, sure. I want to smell the sea breeze once again."
"Great. Tomorrow we'll all play in the water okay? So bring your swimsuit."
"Sure. See you tomorrow."
Amu walked away and she met Rima at her seat.
"So?" Rima asked.
"Success. He'll come tomorrow."
"Thanks alot Amu-chan." Rima hugged Amu tightly.
"Sure now I've got to fakely invite the others ok."
"Yeah Amu-chan. But really thank alot."
"Sure Rima. Good luck."
"Yeah."
At the train station...
Texting...
Amu: So how do you feel Rima?
Rima:Nervous.
Amu: Don't worry I'll cheer for you! You can do it! :)
Rima: Thanks alot! ^^
Just then Nagihiko arrived.
"Morning Rima-chan."
"Morning Nagihiko."
"The others haven't arrived yet?"
"Nope. I'll ask where Amu is."
Rima: Go.
Amu: Ok.
"She said she can't come. She is helping her parents with their work." Rima said.
"That's a pity. But I hope she can come with us another time."
"Yeah. What about the others?"
"I'll check my phone."
Tadase: Sorry. I can't come. My mom needs my help.
Yaya: Sorry but Yaya can't come. I'm feeling a little feverish. But Yaya wants to come really badly! :(
Kukai: I can't come Nagihiko. My soccer practice was unexpectedly moved today. So sorry.
"Looks like it's just you and me Rima." Nagihiko smiled.
"Yeah. Let's go." (blushing)
At the train...
Rima: Amu help! I don't know what to do!
Amu: Calm down. While riding at a train with your "boyfriend", always laugh at his jokes, even though it isn't funny at all, start a conversation so he won't get bored with you, give him something to eat and always smile infront of him so he won't worry. :)
Rima: Thanks so much!
"Rima. Who are you texting?" Nagihiko suddenly asked.
"Huh? Me? I...I...I was just texting my mom. She asked what nice food she could buy in the supermarket. Heh,heh." (nervous)
"Oh, okay. But try to relax when with me ok?" (Cute smile)
"Okay..."(starstruck)
"Oh we're here! At the sea." Nagihiko stood up. "Come on Rima. This is our stop!"
"Um, Okay."
Nagihiko and Rima got off the train and ran to the sea.
"Um I'll just change Nagihiko. Ok?"Rima took her bag.
"Yeah sure."
While Rima was entering the Comfort room, she thought deeply.
"What if he runs away while I change? Or what if he leaves me for another girl he saw at the beach? Or...Or..." (sweating like hell)
"No! Snap out of it Rima! You can do this. It's just a day right? What could go wrong?"
As Rima walked out the comfort room, wearing her laced, heart printed pink bikini bra, and a white mini skirt with a heart print on it, she saw that Nagihiko wasn't at the place where she left.
"As I thought. He left me all alone on this beach." (sobbing and curled up into a ball)
"Rima!" someone called out.
"Nagihiko?" Rima lightened up.
Nagihiko came along holding two ice creams.
"I thought you abandoned me Nagihiko!" (sobbing)
"Don't say that. I would never abandon you Rima-chan." (smiling like an angel.)
"Nagihiko...You are so cute." Rima murmmered.
"Hm? What was that Rima?"
"Nothing! Nothing! Can I have my vanilla ice cream now?"
"Sure."
Nagihiko and Rima spent the whole day at the beach. Until it was 3:00 and the sun was great.
"Ummm Nagihiko. Can I call you Nagi-kun?"
"Huh? Um sure I guess."
"Yey great!"
(Inside of Rima's head)
"Come on Rima! You are about to go and you still haven't confessed?" "Just say it already! Amu is suppoting you!"
(Real talk)
"Um Nagihiko? Can I say something to you?"
"Yeah sure. Anything Rima-chan."
"First I would like to ask if you like me?"
"Huh? I guess so. You are cute funny and nice. So yeah. I do like you."
"Then if I say that I love you, will you believe me?" (blushing)
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"I LOVE you Nagihiko! At first I hated you for stealing Amu. But as time passess by, I became attracted to you and as I noticed my feelings, it was already blooming of passion. So please love me back Nagihiko! Accept my feelings for you!"
SILENCE...
"Rima." Nagihiko answered.
"I am sorry but I don't love you. I like someone else. She is very close to me and she is important. So I couldn't accept your feelings. Sorry."
SILENCE...
"It's ok. I understand. At least we're still friends right?"Rima eyes sparkled because she was holding back her tears.
"I am glad you understand and accepted Rima." Nagihiko looked out to the ocean.
After the both got off the train back home, they went seperate ways. Amu texted Rima.
(text)
Amu: So how did it go Rima?
Rima: He likes someody else.
Amu: I am sorry Rima. Are you okay?
Rima: Yeah, I am okay. At least we're still friends.
Amu: I'll talk to you on monday. See ya.
Rima: See ya.
After Rima texted back, she dialed a number and called.
" Hello? Papa? I want to answer about the engagement. I would like to meet the guy and say yes to the engagement. Next Wednesday would do. The sooner the better."
Rima closed her phone and walked away into the darkness.
...To be continued at Chapter 4...
What will happen during the engagement?
What about Nagihiko?
And who is this myterious guy that Rima is about to meet?
Stay tuned. :)
