Chapter 7: The mall, the food fight, and the kiss
I opened my eyes to feel my head vibrating. I rubbed my eyes confused as to what was going on. Then I suddenly jumped up and grabbed the phone from underneath my pillow. It was Meroko.
"MITSUKI WAKE UP YOU IDIOT!" She yelled when I answered.
"I'm sorry what time is it?" I asked. She sighed frustrated.
"It's 11:30! Get your ass over here or we are leaving without you!" She said. I closed my phone and got dressed quickly into a white sun dress with black leggings and white shoes. I brushed my hair out, dabbed on a little make up and grabbed my phone and purse running out the door. But before I could go any further, I ran into what felt like a living wall. Someone grabbed my hand and pulled me up before I hit the ground.
"Mitsuki, you really need to watch out where you go." I looked up to see Takuto. I smiled and hugged him tightly.
"You came! I didn't think you would come because of how you acted last night." I said. He pulled away from me awkwardly.
"Uh, sorry about that, I wasn't in the greatest mood. Now come on, we are already late enough hop on." He said sitting on his motorcycle. I sat behind him and put my helmet on and held onto him tightly. He drove quickly to town and stopped in front of the mall where my friends stood. They all watched closely. He kept the engine running.
"You get off, I will go find a parking spot." He said over the engine. I took off my helmet and handed it to him. He took it and rode off.
"MITSUKI!" All of my friends yelled I winced and nearly fell over when they all pounced on me.
"Who was that! Is that the mysterious boyfriend you were telling us about?" They asked. I blushed.
"No he isn't my boyfriend. He's my best friend. My boyfriend has a meeting today with his father. So I asked Takuto to come with me." I said bending the truth a little. We all soon spotted him walking towards us.
"That's him." I said gesturing toward him. All their eyes grew wide and they blushed.
"Well sign me up! He's totally hot Mitsuki! If he isn't your boyfriend, then I wonder how hot your boyfriend really his!" Emi said. I blushed. He finally reached us.
"Sorry it took so long." He said running his fingers through his hair.
"Hi Takuto! I'm Emi, and this is Meroko, Kumi, and Tomoe." Emi said. He looked a bit surprised by her excitement, but said hello anyway.
"So Takuto, are you dating anyone?" Emi asked. He looked taken aback.
"No, but I already like someone, I'm sorry." He said. She pouted. I laughed.
"Oh come Emi it's not too bad. What about that one guy that was in our class last year?" I asked her. She rolled her eyes.
"Turns out he was a freak." Kumi translated for me. I nodded. Then I looked over at Meroko.
"When is Izumi going to get here?" I asked. She suddenly looked furious.
"That jerk said he was too busy! I'm going to kill that bastard if it's the last thing I do!" She screamed. I took a step back.
"But you still love him anyway." Tomoe said. Meroko turned to her and they started to argue.
"They aren't going to kill each other right?" Takuto asked. I laughed.
"Don't worry, they fight all the time, it's their way of bonding as friends I guess. Now come, let's go inside." I said grabbing his hand and running inside.
"Oi Mitsuki!" He said while I pulled him along with me. The others were right behind us laughing. We all walked around the mall talking and laughing.
"So Takuto how old are you?" Tomoe asked.
"Seventeen." He said plainly. They all just sighed confused.
"Geez, for being so hot he sure is boring." Meroko said. I laughed.
"He isn't boring, I think he's just bored and a little irritated that he's around a bunch of girls because he gets enough of it at school. Right Takuto?" I asked. He chuckled and nodded.
"Yep you're right Full Moon. Sorry guy's, how about we go sit down and get something to eat?" He suggested.
"Now that's more like it! Come on let's go find some seats before the lunch rush begins." Kumi said. While they walked ahead I stayed behind with Takuto.
"You know you can leave if you want to." I said. He looked over at me and shook his head.
"No I'll stay, I'm your ride home, and I can tell you are glad that I came." He teased. I blushed.
"I am not!" I yelled back. He just chuckled.
"Sure, whatever you say." He said shoving his hands into his jean pockets. It was quiet for a bit until he spoke out.
"Hey when did you get that necklace?" He asked. I looked down at the moon pendant hanging around my neck.
"Eichi gave it to me yesterday." I said grabbing it with my hand and admiring it. He opened his mouth to say something but before he could continue, Meroko ran up to us.
"You two are so slow! Come on we already found seats." She said grabbing both of our hands and dragging us along. She sat us down at the table.
"Who's going to get the food?" Emi asked. We all looked at each other. Finally Takuto stood up.
"Fine I will go, but someone has to come with me." He said. Meroko stood up. The two walked over to Mcdonalds. (haha XD couldn't resist)
"Oh my god Mitsuki, he is so into you." Emi said. I blushed.
"No he isn't, we've talked about this before he clearly said that he likes me, but as a sister." I said. They all raised their eyebrows.
"I highly doubt that's really true but whatever, believe what you want to." Tomoe said. They finally came back with the food and we started to eat instantly.
"You know Meroko you should really lay off the fries, you said yourself that you want to lose weight." Kumi said. I looked at her bewildered.
"You lose weight! You're already as skinny as a stick!" I said loudly. She glared at me and threw a couple French fries at my face. I blinked at her surprised. She smirked.
"You so didn't." I said. She grabbed another hand full.
"I think I did." Me and her suddenly started to break out into a food fight. Many people surrounded us cheering us on. And then security came. Crap.
I pulled a couple pickles out of my hair and wiped mustard and ketchup off of my arms.
"I can't believe we got kicked out." I complained while me and Takuto walked down the street from the mall to a small park. The other's had to leave due to family issues.
"Well it is your fault. You and Meroko started to throw the food." He said. I pouted.
"She started it though." He shrugged.
"Doesn't matter who started it, it matters that it happened and you were both involved." He said. I glared at him.
"Don't give me that look." He said. I rolled my eyes and continued to pull condiments out of my hair. We both sat down on a bench.
"You're a mess Mitsuki." He said starting to laugh. I punched his arm.
"You know you're supposed to compliment the girl not piss her off even more." I said clawing at the lettuce that wouldn't come out. He sighed and took my hands away.
"Here let me help you." He said. I could feel his gentle fingers pull away the bits of food out of my hair. It felt soothing in some way. I sighed.
"There I think that's all of it." He said. I thanked him and looked down at my dress.
"My favorite dress is ruined." I said looking at all the sauce stains, and even a soda stain. Takuto took off his blue jacket and put it over my shoulders.
"Just wear that, it should cover up that stains. I'm pretty sure you don't want your grandmother knowing you got into a food fight, so just keep it for now and give it back to my later." He said. I nodded and pulled it on zipping it up all the way. The sleeves ran passed my hands and the jacket itself was almost as long as my short dress.
"Thank you Takuto." I said. He shrugged.
"Anything for my Full Moon." He said patting my head.
"How many times do I have to tell you I'm not a dog?" I asked a little irritated. He chuckled.
"A lot if you want it to get through this thick skull of mine." He said knocking his head lightly with his fist. I giggled.
"How come you didn't act like yourself around my friends?" I asked. He looked down at the ground.
"I'm a really shy person actually. You wouldn't think that since I'm so popular at school, but it takes me a while to get used to someone. But you, I don't know what it was, maybe the fact that you are Hazuki's and Aoi's kid, but I talked to you like I had known you for years." He said. I nodded.
"By the way Takuto, how is it that you didn't recognize my name when we first meet?" I asked.
"Well I knew Kouyama sounded familiar, and that you looked a hell of a lot like Hazuki, but I guess it just slipped my mind because I've tried to forget about those two, but that's impossible." He said. I smiled. The sun started to set.
"I should probably get you home." He said standing up. I nodded and followed him back to the parking lot at the mall. As we drove home, I thought about what Emi said to me earlier. He did say that he didn't like me in that way, but could it be he was actually lying? We suddenly stopped in front of my house.
"Wow that was fast." I said taking off my helmet. He laughed. I got off the bike. I turned towards him and took his helmet off. He looked at me a bit bewildered.
"Mitsuki what are you-"Shh, be quiet." I said leaning in and kissing him on the lips. He froze instantly. This was definitely a different feeling than when I kissed Eichi, but what did that mean? Was it a better, or worse feeling? I pulled away from him, my lips feeling like they were on fire. His eyes were as big as saucers.
"Mitsuki." He said quietly. I smiled.
"Sorry, I was just experimenting something, well I'll see you later Takuto!" I said running up to my house. I quickly closed the door and looked out the window to see him putting his helmet back on and driving off. I sighed and called to my grandmother that I was home.
"Mitsuki, who was that man you were with?" She asked suddenly. I winced slightly.
"He's a really good friend of mine." I said hoping that she didn't see the kiss.
"Fine, but I don't want to ever see you on the back of a motorcycle again." She said sternly. I nodded.
"And whose jacket is that?" She asked observing my outfit.
"It's Meroko's, I got cold so she offered it to me." I lied. She closed her eyes. I knew she was mad.
"How many times do I have to tell you to always take a jacket with you! Mitsuki you are sick and can't take any risks!" She yelled. I bowed.
"I'm sorry grandmother." I said. She waved her hand.
"You're dismissed, I don't want to see you for the rest of the night." She said. I nodded and ran to my room. I was now very grateful for Takuto lending me his jacket. I then touched my lips remembering the kiss. We've kissed officially three times, and one of them I don't even know for sure if it happened or not even though he said he never came into my room that night. I sighed and walked into my bathroom and started the water. Why did I have to kiss him? Now I'm even more confused. Was it better than when I kiss Eichi, or the same, or worse? Was it really bad that I couldn't even tell which one it is? I stripped off my dress and stepped underneath the warm shower of water. I heard my phone ringing. I sighed and poked my head out of the shower to see who it was. It was Eichi. I smiled and grabbed my phone, while I rested my elbows on the toilet and my lower body was in the shower. I answered.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey beautiful, how are you doing?" He asked. I smiled.
"I'm great, but you kind of got me while I was in the shower, so I will call you in fifteen minutes tops." I said. He said ok and we hung up. I jumped up and started to wash my hair super fast and clean up all the food. Once I was done I wrapped the towel around me and ran to my room, quickly drying off and putting my pajama's on. I took a deep breath and lied down on my bed picking up my phone and dialing Eichi's number.
"You're one minute late." He teased. I giggled.
"I'm sorry but I'm not Miss perfect." I said.
"You are in my eyes." He said. I blushed and nearly squealed with excitement. We continued to talk for hours until I finally felt the time catch up to me.
"You're tired aren't you?" He asked. I yawned quietly.
"No I'm not! I'm perfectly fine." I said. He sighed.
"Mitsuki, look at what time it is." He said. I looked over at the clock on my desk. It read two thirty in the morning.
"Wow, we've been talking for five hours." I said. He chuckled.
"Get some sleep my little moon. I love you, good bye." He said. We both hung up. I closed my phone and instantly fell asleep.
I know your thinking why does Mitsuki has to be so oblivious! haha it's fun making her like that.
