Summers mystery kiss, chapter 3

"Well?" Souichi's mother awaited my answer. I was still a little confused in my own feelings for the beautiful new comer. But I knew I certainly felt something for Souichi, that was the reason I approached such a person on the streets, otherwise I would have just kept walking, afraid of if he would have hit me if I had accidently gotten to close to him without saying 'hello' as such.

From what I've seen of Souichi, he seems short tempered, shy, grouchy and withdrawn with him having no friends and hardly wanted to be anywhere near me. But I think he needs someone to put him in his place, and to…nicely, force him into a friendship…since if I was too soft on him, then he would definitely walk all over me like my family does to me all of the time. Therefore whenever I get a chance, I will find out Souichi and try with all my strength to get on his good side, whatever the cost.

"I…I don't know…I like him…I guess…" I mumbled, cheeks growing pink,

"You guess?" she chuckled, "Would you like to be my sons friend or more?" she asked with a wink. My cheeks increased in colour. No, she can't possibly read my mind! How does she know that I have feelings for him?

"How did you-?"

"Mothers know these things I suppose." She sighed, a kind smile brightening her beautiful face.

'Mothers know these things' do they? My mother surely doesn't. And she's definitely not as kind and generous as this woman…I'm so envious of Souichi. All I've ever wished for was someone to love me back for whom I truly am…and so far, that wish hasn't once came true. And I sadly doubt it will at this moment. But if I ever had a mother like Souichi had…I would probably be the happiest boy alive.

"Do you ever think…Tatsumi would ever consider…liking me back?" I asked, ignoring my mind telling me to keep it all locked up like before, and followed my heart for the first time, and came out with it, to this gorgeous stranger I had just met,

"So it is true, I thought so." She sighed, still a smile remaining on her dazzling face, "But I doubt that Souichi will admit such feelings to a person, how ever much he loves them, especially you being a boy…but he hasn't been very interested in relationships just yet, and hasn't once said anything about a girl being pretty or anything along those lines…he's too wrapped up around school and work." She sighed, slight annoyed in how 'un school boy' her son was.

In her eyes, her son was meant to be like every other boy; go out with their mates, have fun and to get girlfriends. But no, her son hated people, he felt uncomfortable being around people he doesn't know, and just liked either being alone or with his family.

"Wrapped up in school work?" I asked curiously. Never had I met another person who loved school, everyone else was all wrapped up in football, friends and girls…It was hard for me to have the same hobbies as my friends at school, but I still find a convocation and find friends easily, because that's the way I am I guess. Souichi's mother nodded,

"Yes, he's a total freak for work, and doesn't come off his laptop, and even took it on holiday! It's so hard for him to find friends this way…" she sighed, "You like school Morinaga?" she asked, her beautiful ashen eyes shinning beautifully,

"Yes I love it! But I would never call myself a freak." I laughed. Souichi's mother looked at me surprised,

"You love school too? That's great, what kind of subject do you enjoy more then?" She asked, leaning in slightly, as if testing me,

"Science! No doubt about it! I have a dream to be a top scientist…but I don't know what type of scientific genre yet…" I laughed, but slowed down when the beautiful woman's eyes widened, purely shocked,

"Souichi loves science too…this is weird." She laughed leaned back, with a comfortable smile,

"Really! I would LOVE to talk to your son sometime about science, I know no one who loves it as much as me." I gasped excited with the thought of Souichi being actually interested in a conversation with me!

Souichi's mother grinned and nodded, pleased with a thought of her own that her son would finally find a friend for once. But suddenly a thought sprung to mind,

"Hey Morinaga…how about you and my son should have a play date sometime…to get to know each other and all that jazz—"

"YES!" I gasped. But paused from my excitement to find that the beautiful woman was actually going carry on with the sentence, "I'm sorry…I just wanted to let you know…that I would like that very much…" I mumbled, with an awkward laugh at the end. But she waved it away and clapped her hands together, pleased,

"Excellent, so we have a date happening! But I should really talk to your parents first." She said…he striking smile fading when she saw my eyes drop,

"I don't think that's possible…they wouldn't care anyway, their too busy treating my brother…" I sighed sadly.

After a long and awkward silence she finally broke the silence with a loud cough,

"Okay then…how about tomorrow if you're not busy—"

"Alright, tomorrow it is!" I jumped excitedly. She just laughed,

"Great…now all I have to do…is to tell Souichi…" she mumbled. We both looked at each other worriedly…

This should be good.
