Amu POV:
After he said my name I suddenly looked up and it was Ikuto!
"Ikuto?" I questioned.
He spoke up, "Yeah? Whats up?"
"Oh nothing I was just wondering why you needed the candles I wanted to when you're buying so many more." I hurriedly made up.
"Oh yeah my girlfriend really likes candles, but those are her favorite, I mean the candles you wanted too." Ikuto replied smoothly.
"Hmm so you finally loved a girl huh?" I coldly, randomly said.
For the first time, I think I saw Ikuto nervous and blush a little.
"Well you see when I decided to propose, it was because she made me feel really happy and I thought it was love." Ikuto explained.
"Thought? Your not sure it is love?" I questioned.
"I don't know, I never felt true, marriage like love." He said quietly.
"Oh, ok then, uhh where did you meet her?" I asked again.
"Does it matter?" He said, answering my question with a question.
"Well I guess not…" I answered hesitantly.
In line a learned more about him and his girlfriend. I felt a twinge of jealousy, but decided to ignore it.
"Hey Amu, since you seem to have a lot of questions why don't we get to know each other better? He whispered seductively. (a/n: or so Amu thought)
I was shocked.
I breathed, "Do you really think we should do that I mean, your proposing, I don't think we should even be in the same bedroom as you but sleep toget-"
I was interrupted when Ikuto started to laugh, very loudly.
Then between laughs he said, "Do you really think I'll cheat on my girlfriend or be such a pervert? I didn't mean it that way."
I blinked. Surprised that I even thought that he mean it that way. Did I really think that Ikuto was going to leave his girlfriend and come running to me?
He whispered again, "So don't get your hopes up." Smirking again he put his candles for the cashier.
I blushed violently and said, "It was because when we dated you always were perverted so it lead to me thinking every thing you said had a double meaning."
I paid for my objects (a/n: She bought different candles instead of the one Tadase loved.) And followed Ikuto out the store.
"So why don't we?" He said suddenly.
"What?" I replied.
"Get to know each other, why don't we go talk at a coffee shop?" Ikuto asked.
"Uhh sure…" I said nervously.
I was scared to talk to him; surely he would ask why I ignored him for the past three years. I also was scared I would stutter and blush and fall in love, or at least deeper in love.
As we walked we also talked. At first it was awkward, but then I got the knack of talking with him and I enjoyed it. I really wanted to be friends with him.
We entered a little coffee shop and gave our orders to the waitress. Ikuto wanted Cappuccino and a blueberry muffin and I got an Iced Coffee and cinnamon roll. After we got what we wanted, Ikuto started to talk about my relationship with Tadase.
"So did he tell you he loved you?" Ikuto asked.
"Uhh yeah, he told me before I told him." I answered uncomfortably.
"So the break up was useful, I guess." He murmured.
"Yes? I couldn't really hear you." I said. All I heard was up, was, and guess. I had no idea how those words related.
"Ahh nothing Amu." He hurriedly said.
After eating and drinking our coffee for a while I finally spoke up.
"Yes." I boldly answered.
"Eh? Yes? What are you talking about?" Ikuto inquired.
"Yes, we can still be friends, you remember when we broke up and you asked if we could stay friends? Yes I want to be friends with you." I shyly answered again.
"Oh, ok." Ikuto commented.
"I'll walk you home, okay?" Ikuto stated.
"Uhh sure?" I questioned. I guess guy friends would do that.
I stood up and tripped over the table leg and my cinnamon bun flew and hit Ikuto's face.
I gasped but then started to laugh, he looked so funny like that. I got a napkin and started to clean his face.
"Amu, you are very clumsy." He stated.
"Yeah I guess." I giggled.
After I cleaned his face, he walked me to the front of my condo complex. I saw a squirrel and it scared me, a lot! I threw my iced coffee and by coincidence it hit Ikuto's shirt.
"Oh shit." I murmured.
I used my elbow to wipe his shirt and in my ear he whispered, "Was this just an excuse to feel my abbs?"
I blushed deeply. "Wh- What no! It was by coincidence!" I stuttered.
"I'm just kidding, Amu stop hyperventilating." He said smirking.
Then I realized while I was rubbing the coffee away, that my face was so close to his. He could just push my head forward and then we would kiss. No! Why am I thinking wabout his stuff? The he leaned forward and kissed my cheek.
"Wha- what was that for?" I questioned.
"It was a thank you kiss on the cheek, thanks for letting me get the candles and for cleaning my face and shirt." He replied with change of expression.
He started to walk away, than I ran to him and kissed him cheek too.
"It's a thank you kiss, for the coffee and other stuff, and for being my friend." I stated feeling embarressd.
I walked into my complex and went into my condo. Once I closed the door, I leaned on it and whispered to myself, "What happened back there?"
Lexie: Ahh finally done.
Ikuto: And there is a little Amuto, I guess.
Lexie: Yeah and please check out my poll it would help me a lot on my story.
