Chapter 9
After that incident with Destiny at the café, Destiny decided to leave Shun and Alice…hoping not to mess with Shun's anger and let Alice deal with it. Alice, herself, had quite a hard time calming Shun down, so that they could finally order some dinner.
"So, what would you like to eat?" Shun asked Alice as she looked through the menu.
"Mhm…the noodle soup looks really good, and it's pretty cheap compared to all the other foods on the menu." Alice said with a smile and Shun nodded.
"May I take your order?" A waiter said, smiling widely, though Shun couldn't help but be annoyed how he was just staring at Alice like that. Why couldn't guys stop looking at his Alice?
Shun coughed loudly, making the waiter roll his eyes but plaster a fake smile towards him. "I'd like to order two noodle soups, please." Shun asked unemotionally and the waiter nodded.
"Anything to drink? Desert?" The waiter asked, his eyes twinkling towards Alice. Alice quickly scanned the menu.
"Mhm, just a vanilla tempura, I suppose. How about you, Shun?" Alice asked, looking towards Shun.
"Just a cup of Chamomile tea, thanks." Shun stated, and glared at the waiter slightly, hoping the waiter would get a clue of walking away now…
The waiter, again, faked a smile and nodded walking away, but not before grinning sweetly to Alice. Shun gritted his teeth.
"I don't like this place anymore." Shun mumbled and Alice looked at him confusingly.
"Why? The waiter was quite nice, too."
"Of course he was, just that he was too nice." Shun emphasized on the word "too." It took Alice a moment to register the fact that Shun was basically…jealous.
Alice started giggling, then immediately covered her mouth with her hand hoping she hadn't offended him. Shun blushed but glared at her.
"Yeah yeah, go ahead, let it all out." Shun stated flatly and Alice broke into small angelic giggles, that Shun had to admit it was adorable…despite he was the cause of all her laughter.
"I'm sorry, Shun," Alice finally said after she calmed down, "It's just that you don't have to be jealous of the waiter. It's not like I'm going to go out with him and ditch you." Alice said gently and Shun looked away.
"Yeah, I know that, it's just downright irritating. Shouldn't he be flirting with some other girl who's NOT with company?" Shun stated disgustingly as he gazed at the waiter who was heading back with their meal.
The waiter gave Shun a sly smile as he set down the plates onto the table and walked away whistling, not before giving Alice a big smile. Shun growled and Alice looked at him with concern.
"It's alright, Shun." Alice said soothingly as she placed her hand on top of his. Shun and Alice both blushed, but it had made Shun look at Alice again.
Shun broke the silence, even though he wish he didn't. "Ehrm, let's eat before our soup gets cold."
Alice blushed slightly, but nodded as she slowly slipped her hand away from Shun's and started to blow on her soup gently before sipping her soup. Shun looked over at her curiously.
"So, how is it?" he asked her and she gave him a small grin.
"It's pretty good! I should get their recipe so I can make it next time." Alice said and Shun nodded as he tasted the soup, and then slowly nodding.
"Yes, this is pretty good." Shun agreed as he continued to drink/eat the soup in silence. After they were both done eating as well as having small chats that quickly ended, the same waiter came back with the bill as well as a "treat" for Alice.
"Here you go." The waiter said as he was giving Alice the bill. Shun, being the ninja he was quickly snatched the bill from the waiter, much to the waiter and Alice's disappointment.
"Shun, I can pay for it too, it won't be all that fair you paying for it." Alice pouted and Shun chuckled but paid the whole amount anyways.
"It's alright, Alice, I insist." He stated and then his eyes stumbled upon a phone number attached to the bill. He looked back at the waiter who seemed to be quite nervous.
"What's the meaning of this?" Shun asked annoyingly as he gestured at the phone number.
The waiter gulped his fears and pretended to act tough, "well, you see, that wasn't meant for you. It was meant for your lady friend."
Shun glared at him as he abruptedly got up from his seat. "Do you not understand when a girl isn't interested? Or do I have to show it to you the hard way?" Shun hissed and Alice's eyes widened and she quickly got to Shun's side and wrapped her arms around his hand, pleading for him to sit down.
"Please, Shun, not here. He didn't mean any harm." Alice whispered and Shun sighed irritatingly as he sat back down, yet continued to glare at the waiter.
The waiter, finally being smart, decided it was wise to take the moment to flee before this jealous customer would be the cause of his early death. Shun's arm had still been wrapped around by Alice's so when had sat down, it had caused her to lose her balance and stumble onto Shun's lap.
Alice blushed heavily, and was about to get up when Shun wrapped his arm around her waist, trapping her on his lap.
"Uhm Shun?" Alice asked unsurely of his intentions.
Shun smiled slyly but raised his eyebrow as if he was innocent. "Problem, Alice?" Shun asked causally and it caused Alice to believe that all was done on purpose.
"Uh, never mind." She said quickly. It was best not to question him, besides he didn't seem to be in a good mood especially after this whole waiter incident. The waiter had come back, and Shun was proud to say he enjoyed seeing the disappointment on the waiter's face as he saw Alice on Shun's lap.
"Uhm, here's your receipt sir, have a nice day." The waiter gritted through his teeth as he faked a smile to the "couple" and walked away mumbling swear words. Shun helped Alice up as he and Alice left the café in silence.
Shun noticed Alice shiver and he quickly took off his leather jacket and put it on Alice. Alice was about to protest, but the look on Shun's face, she best decided to give him a thankful smile and hug it closely on her. Shun's arm went around Alice's shoulder, so that it allowed Alice to share some of Shun's body heat and vice versa.
"Aren't you cold without the jacket, Shun?" Alice asked worriedly and Shun shrugged it off.
"Don't worry about it, I'll be fine." Shun assured her as they walked silently back to the campus, just enjoying each other's company.
