9 – Button
It was a Saturday when these events happened. I was sitting by the counter, drinking my coffee and eating a petit gateau, the newest thing in the menu. Motoki was there with me. It was good to see him without his apron and cleaning the counter. The best part of this meeting? It wasn't at the arcade. Okay, so I wouldn't see my Odango Atama. That was really bad, true, but I also wouldn't be able to say the wrong thing to her.
"Reika sent me this. See? It's a postcard. She also sent me a letter. Even though we talk on the phone once a week and she always sends me letters, as do I to her, it is not the same thing, you know? I miss her a lot. I miss her touch, her skin, her kiss, her..."
"Okay, Motoki! I think I got the picture. I really think that what you were about to say would be too much info and I don't want that. Why don't you save some money for some time and buy a plane ticket to see her, if you miss her so much?"
I never heard Motoki's answer because the doors opened and I saw her, my goddess, the one and only Odango Atama. Long, blond, silky, wavy hair; big and bright blue eyes, a killer smile, and smooth skin. Some bangs of my hair fell in front of my eye as I dropped my mouth. As if she wasn't beautiful enough as she was, she looked so different that day. She was wearing the button up white polka dot dress. There was a little cleavage showing. The dress went up to knees and had short gypsy sleeves. She looked like an angel.
"Mamoru? Mamoru? Earth to Mamoru!"
Motoki tried to get my attention, but it was impossible, for the attention ship had sailed when she had walked into the café. She noticed that I couldn't take my eyes off of her, but I hadn't realized that yet, so lost in my thoughts that I was.
"You know? I think there's some drool coming out at the corner of your mouth... You better clean it. Also, if you still can't stop staring, I might just take a picture and give you. For sure, it will last longer." And with a giggle, she went to the booth where her friends were. I was left there, still speechless.
After this, I just resumed my conversation with Motoki, where he made me confess my feelings regarding the girl. Everything was going well and I hadn't looked at her anymore - or at least I hadn't been caught doing it again - when I heard her panicking. She came to me running, looking desperate.
"Mamoru-san! Help me!"
She pointed at her chest. I felt really ashamed, but looked and that's when I saw it. The first button of the dress was broken and a piece of a baby pink lacy fabric was showing off. Motoki called his sister - who worked there - and she let us use the back room to fix Usagi's button. I took her hand and pulled her there.
When we arrived, she almost shoved her boobs on me, in her all too innocent manners. I always carried a pin, so I put together the pieces of her dress and pinned them together. When I did that, I accidentally touched her bra and skin. I felt her shiver. I shivered as well. It was too much for me, almost a torture. So, I looked at her face, to apologize and caught her staring at me with a not so innocent gaze. My self-control left the building and I kissed her.
I kissed her once, twice, three times. She was flushed when the kisses ended, but with a smile from ear to ear. She came closer, holding me and letting her chest touch mine. It was taking all my inner strength to not make her mine there and then.
"This is my phone number. Call me and we'll pick up where we left off. For now, I must be going. My friends are waiting outside and my button is broken, but I do thank you, Mamoru-san. For fixing it for me and for kissing me like you did. I really want to be kissed by you again in some other occasion."
She handed me a piece of paper, kissed my earlobe, licking it for a moment and then she left. I was there, still not believing what had just happened. When I got back, I told Motoki that I wasn't feeling too well and left. Arriving home, I called her. On the next day, we had our first official date. I made her dinner at my place and we watched a movie together. Then, she had that same innocent look from the day before.
"Mamoru, I think I broke another button. Can you help me again?"
And I knew what it meant. She wanted to continue where we had stopped the other day. So we did. I fixed her button, again, while thanking every possible God for Usagi's broken buttons.
