Chapter 4: Double Date
"That's it for today Otogi."
Yugi stepped out of the kitchen, with Otogi following right behind her.
"How many times do I have to tell you Yugi, call me Ryuuji."
"Sorry Ryuuji, I just have been calling you Otogi so long."
"But that was before we were dating," he pointed out, holding her; "I would like my girlfriend to call me by my first name."
Yugi nodded. They had this conversation before. But for some reason, calling Otogi by his first name seemed awkward; it didn't seem right. It certainly wasn't like that with her last boyfriend.
"Anyway, what should we do for our next date?"
"I think we should go see a movie."
Atemu had been listening to the two converse the entire time since they emerged from the back. He sipped his coffee, feeling aggravated by the word "date." He missed Yugi glance his way, and her sweet smile.
"Hey, Ryuuji, why don't we have a double date?"
"With who?"
"With Atemu and Vivian of course."
Atemu looked at them after hearing his name.
Otogi tried to protest.
"Yugi, the movies isn't really a place million dollar businessmen take their girlfriends."
"Don't judge Otogi!" She reprimanded him. "You shouldn't say that when you don't know someone personally."
Otogi gave an apologetic look, even though he was annoyed that she used his last name, again.
Yugi looked at her friend, smiling.
"Atemu, would you and Vivian like to go to the movies with us on Saturday?"
"Sure. Vivian and I haven't done something like that yet. I'm sure she will like seeing a movie."
"See Yugi," Otogi began, trying to tease, "I told you."
Yugi turned to her boyfriend, winking. "Still said yes."
He laughed. "True." He looked over towards Atemu. "What time would you like to meet?"
"I think seven o'clock would work."
"What movie?"
"Leave that to me." Otogi replied, kissing Yugi on the cheek. She blushed.
It made Atemu feel depressed.
Otogi grabbed with his clipboard, kissing Yugi again before exiting the restaurant.
Atemu kept to himself. He hated the fact that he felt disheartened whenever he saw Yugi and Otogi together. I am with Vivian. Why does my heart hurt? Am I jealous? He shook his head. No, I promised myself I would settle down and stop chasing women. Yugi is a good friend so I just don't want to see her get hurt. Yeah. That is why I have this heartache.
"A double date at the movies?" Vivian spoke, appalled by the notion.
"I think it will be fun Vivian. Besides, we haven't had a simple date like that."
"That is because I am not simple."
"Vivian, please."
Vivian placed her hands on her hips. "Atemu, I like the expensive dinners and extravagant parties. Going to the movies is just, not."
"I know this is something you normally wouldn't do, but I think we should go."
Vivian gave him a look.
"You already told your friend yes, didn't you."
Atemu gave a guilty look.
"Atemu! You should have…"
Vivian's words were blocked as his lips covered hers. She melted into the kiss, tasting his salty lips. He pulled away slowly, causing her to groan.
"Fine Atemu, I will go. But you had better make it worth my while later."
The four met in the lobby of the local cinema.
"Vivian, I would like you to meet Yugi and Otogi."
"You must be Atemu's friend." Vivian spoke, extending her hand to Otogi.
"Not me," Otogi answered, hands up in protest, "that would be Yugi."
Vivian turned her head to the girl, who smiled warmly.
"It is nice to meet you Vivian."
The older woman's eyes widened, revealing the shock. A girl? And a young one at that.
"Nice to meet you as well, Yugi."
Vivian wrapped her hand around Yugi's wrist.
"Yugi, will you come with me to the ladies room?"
"Okay," Yugi managed to say before Vivian dragged her towards the restroom.
"Why do girls have to use the restroom together?"
"I don't have a clue."
Otogi turned to Atemu. "I will buy the movie tickets. You should probably get in line for snacks."
"Anything you want in particular?"
"A diet."
Atemu nodded before leaving the younger man. Otogi headed in the other direction towards the ticket booth.
Yugi leaned against the wall, arms behind her back. She didn't have to use the restroom, so she waited patiently for Vivian.
Vivian exited the toilet and proceeded to wash her hand. Yugi heard her curse at the hot water before adjusting it. The older woman dried her hands with a towel, tossing it in the bin once completed. Then, she began to pull out make-up.
"Otogi is kinda cute."
Yugi looked at Vivian, who was now powdering her nose.
"Yeah, I guess he is." Yugi spoke quietly.
"Don't worry honey, I have Atemu, I won't steal him from you."
"Oh no! I didn't think that at all. I mean…"
"Anyway," Vivian interrupted, applying blush, "how did you meet Atemu?"
"Well, he came into the diner I work at one day."
"So, you're a waitress?"
"At the moment."
I wonder if he pities her, Vivian thought.
"But I have been trying to find to nursing job."
"A nurse huh, a noble profession." Vivian commented while covering her lips with red lipstick.
"I just want to help people."
"Good for you."
Vivian gave herself one more look over in the mirror.
"Alright, let's go back."
Yugi nodded, happy to leave, following Vivian.
Atemu and Otogi waved over the girls. Vivian rushed over to Atemu, kissing him on the lips, which almost knocked the snacks out of his hands. Vivian pulled away, batting her eyelashes at him. Yugi covered her mouth with her hand to stifle her laughter while Otogi laughed aloud, both seeing the bright red lipstick now on Atemu's mouth.
"What?"
Yugi handed him a napkin and pointed at his mouth. He lowered his brow in confusion, until he noticed the bright red lipstick on Vivian. He thanked Yugi with his eyes and graciously took the napkin, forcefully rubbing it against his lips.
Vivian frowned.
"You don't like my kisses?"
"Just your lipstick."
Otogi finally calmed down from his laughing fit.
"Come on, I will lead us to the theater."
The two couples sat in the center of the room. Otogi sat next to Yugi, while Vivian sat next to Atemu. Yugi and Atemu decided to sit next to each other, since they were friends.
The theater became dark. Otogi wrapped his arm around Yugi. She looked at him.
"What movie did you pick?"
He leaned into her face, wearing a sly smile.
"You'll see."
Eerie music began to play as the title of the movie appeared. Yugi gasped before glaring at Otogi.
"Nightmare on Elm Street?" She whispered.
Atemu looked over at Yugi, worried. He knew from one of their many conversation that horror films were not Yugi's cup of tea.
"It seems like a good film."
"I told you how I felt about horror films."
"Don't worry, Yugi," he said, gripping her shoulder tighter, "I'll be here for you."
Half of the movie had already shown. Yugi had been cowering next to Otogi since the film began. Atemu was only watching the movie half-heartedly; he was more interesting in his friend.
Vivian leaned into Atemu, getting his attention.
"Atemu will you please stop watching Yugi. You're missing the film." She whispered.
"I'm sorry Vivian," he said in the same volume, "but Yugi hates horror films."
"Otogi is taking care of her. Just ignore it."
Of course he's taking care of her he thought sarcastically, he picked the movie. He glanced at Otogi, catching the satisfied smile he wore on his face. It angered him.
"AAAHHHHHH!"
Yugi buried her face into her date's sleeve, jerking her eyes away from the screen.
"Come one Yugi, this movie isn't so bad."
She glared at him.
"Easy for you to say."
"Besides, I like the position you're in."
Yugi perked up.
"What did you say?"
"Ahh…Well…"
Yugi caught on.
"Did you pick this movie so I would cling to you?" She asked in a volume that annoyed the other movie goers.
"I… ah…"
"Well Otogi Ryuuji, did you choose this film for your own enjoyment?"
"Come on Yugi. Don't tell me you don't enjoy my arms around you."
Yugi's eyes narrowed. She grabbed his soda cup and dumped the remaining contents onto his head. She stood and turned the other way.
"Excuse me." She walked by Atemu and Vivian, exiting the row. Atemu rose from his sit and followed her.
"Atemu!" Vivian whispered after him.
"I'll be right back." He reassured her before walking towards the door which Yugi already went through.
Yugi walked towards the restroom, crying. The realization of Otogi's intentions struck her heart. She hated it.
No longer wanting to stay here, Yugi opened her phone, pressing the number five. The phone rang twice, before a familiar female voice spoke.
"Anzu speaking."
"Anzu," Yugi sniffled, "will you come and take me home?"
"Yugi what happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it now. Could you please pick me up at the movies and take me home."
"Sure thing Yugi. I will be there shortly."
"Thank you."
"See you in a minute."
Yugi heard the dial tone before closing her phone. She cupped the phone in her hands, keeping her head low. Her last boyfriend never did anything like this to her. He was always thinking of her. It is times like these that she wished he would appear, holding her tight and telling her that everything would be alright.
"Yugi?"
The sound of her name made her jump. She straightened her back and placed her phone in her pocket. Her hands free, she wiped the fallen tears from her cheeks. Yugi turned around to see her friend.
"Atemu, what are doing here? You should be in the theater with Vivian."
"I wanted to see if you were alright."
"I'm fine Atemu." She tried to give a convincing smile.
"Would you like me to take you home?"
"No Atemu, I don't want to interrupt your date any longer. Besides, Anzu is coming to get me."
"I could wait with you."
She smiled sweetly at him.
"Atemu, you need to get back to Vivian. She is probably lonely."
Atemu knew he wouldn't win this. Atemu sighed, knowing Yugi's kind heart would not let him neglect Vivian, despite what happened to her.
She kissed his cheek.
"Thanks for your concern."
A knot in his stomach formed as her lips touched his skin. It was a feeling he never experienced before, but it was a feeling he enjoyed.
"I will see you at the diner tomorrow right?"
"I wouldn't miss it, Yugi."
She smiled her normal smile and waved, walking towards the door. Atemu wanted nothing more than to stay with her, just to make sure she was alright. But Yugi's right, I should go back to Vivian. Atemu left the lobby, walking back to his girlfriend.
