Chapter 2
Kei was waiting for Hikari at their table at Restaurant Le Fancy. He was restless considering that it was already past 7:00 pm and she still hasn't arrived. Thought after thought ravaged Kei's mind, 'What it Akira held Hikari hostage just to spite me?' 'What if she told Hikari the wrong address?' 'What if Hikari got into an accident on her way here?' 'What if Hikari got kidnapped? Or worse?' 'What if…' "Takishima?" As Kei was absorbed in thinking, a small voice interrupted his train of thought. "Takishima?" the voice called out to him again, and when he looked to the source, there stood before him a girl wearing a baby blue dress, hugging her body enough to show off her curves, showing a little cleavage, her jet-black hair slightly curled and tied up to one side, and earrings that shone and hung on her ears, and a beautiful choker that complemented her long slender neck. He couldn't help but stare at her. Words wouldn't come out of his mouth no matter how hard he tried. "Is something wrong, Takishima?" Hikari blushed as she felt Kei's piercing stare on her. 'Say something, idiot.' An inner voice urged Kei. "Hikari…" he stood up and pulled back a chair for Hikari and seated himself across her accordingly. "I'm sorry for staring and not saying anything…You just… you look so beautiful that you took my breath away." (I'll have to thank Akira for this later)… thought Kei to himself. "Thank you," Hikari grew red again, "you look handsome yourself, Takishima." They both shared a laugh. "I'm sorry I'm late. Akira was fussing whether to go with this dress or the other one." Hikari looked down on her dress and smoothed out a small wrinkle. "She did a splendid job, Hikari. You really do look beautiful tonight." Kei smiled one of his smiles that made Hikari's heart skip a beat and they just stared into each other's eyes. "Shall I take your orders, Sir?" and the moment was gone.
After the main course
"… and the lady here will have chocolate cake for dessert." Kei said as he closed the menu. "Very good, Sir." the waiter took away the finished plates and walked back to the kitchen. "Thanks for dinner, Takishima. It was delicious." Hikari took a sip of her juice. "I'm glad you liked it, Hikari." Kei still didn't stop staring at Hikari, he loved this girl so much he was willing to give in to his Grandfather's wishes just to protect Hikari and her beloved S.A., as he reminisced of distant memories of the past, it reminded him of his true intentions for inviting Hikari out that night. "Actually Hikari, I invited you out to dinner to ask you something…" "Sure, Takishima. Ask away." "What are your plans after we graduate?" Kei had a serious expression on his face. "Eh?" Hikari was caught off guard. "Are you attending a university? Will you be working for a job right after we graduate? Which university will you got to? What course are you choosing?" Kei bombarded her with questions. "Takishima, what's with you all of a sudden?" "Nothing… I just wanted to get to know you a little better since we're dating now. Am I asking something wrong?" Kei acted a little like a rejected puppy. This tugged a string in Hikari's heart, "No… I'm planning to take up law actually. Or maybe be a cop." "Where?" Kei was excited that Hikari was answering him all the while thinking that being a lawyer or a cop suited Hikari very much due to her strong sense of justice. "I don't know yet. I haven't told my parents of my decision yet anyway." Hikari cast her eyes down, "My family has already given so much for me. Listening to my selfish request and letting me go to Hakusen Academy. I don't want to burden Dad anymore than I already have. Maybe I'll just get a job and help around the house." This alarmed Kei. "No, Hikari! You have to go to University. You have a bright future ahead of you. The Takishima Group actually offers scholarships to those who are worthy, and being you, I'm sure you'll get it." Kei held her hand to which Hikari blushed, "Thanks, Takishima. I'll keep that in mind." Dessert then arrived. "What about you, Takishima? What are your plans?" Hikari ate a piece of her chocolate cake and shuddered a little at how delicious it was. Kei fell silent for awhile. "Takishima?" "My Grandfather still wants me to pursue my college education at London." Kei waited for Hikari's reaction. "I see…" Hikari felt a little sad but quickly hid it with a smile to not worry Kei. "Good for you, Takishima. I'm sure you'll get the best education there. You should really go." "Do you really want me to go, Hikari?" Kei saw the sadness in Hikari's face despite how she was trying so hard to hide it, "I can stay here if you want. We can go to the same university together." "No! You should really go, Takishima!" Hikari protested. "I mean, I don't want to hold you back or anything…" "Stop right there, Hikari." Kei looked at her with eyes of anger. "You are not holding me back. If I want to stay here, it's because I have a very good reason to… It's you." Hikari blushed from head to toe. "After all, we're lovers, we were once engaged, and I still fully intend to marry you." Kei added. This brought a smile to Hikari's face. "I love you, Takishima." Kei was caught off guard, he wasn't used to Hikari being the first to say such things. "I love you, too, Hikari. Very much so." "Ehehe… I'm still not very good at this 'lovers' thing." giggled Hikari. And they finished their desserts and continued talking about various things.
