Chapter 10

We walk around and it's getting quite dark...

My parents are going to kill me.

I don't even have my phone to contact them.

How long were we even in the arcade for?!

"Well," Dan speaks up, "Since I let you win." He emphasises greatly on the 'let'.

"Let me also take you out to dinner." He says with a flirty smile.

And girls are crazy about him because...?

"Just admit that I won," I say with tiresomely, "I have to get home."

I spin on my heel to walk towards the direction Dan had parked his car.

"Whoa, whoa!" He catches my wrist so I stop walking, "Let's go eat?"

"It's already dark! My parent's will be worried sick! I'm sure the coast is clear now too!" I say in panic. I don't think he understands.

"Are they really that worried?" He asks.

"Yes!" I say obviously.

"It's not like you're on your own, you're with me!" He debates.

"But they don't know you! You're practically a stranger!" I shout back.

"But they don't know you! You're practically a stranger!" She shouts.

Isn't that a bit harsh?

"They don't know me?" I say in disbelief.

"They don't personally know you." She squints.

I sigh.

I don't get this girl.

And hold up, she called me a stranger?

"Aw come on Runo," I say as I wrap an arm around her shoulder, "I thought we were at least more than stranger?"

"After today, you will be." She murmurs.

She's a tough one isn't she?

Then I smirk.

I notice something.

Have you noticed?

Nope?

Of course, I forget that I'm more attentive than some people.

And yeah, I do know what 'attentive' means.

About thirty seconds ago, I wrapped an arm round her shoulder. And she hasn't shrugged it off yet.

I guess we have made progressed.

I wonder how long I can keep my arm around her.

If it's more than 5 minutes, then she'd fallen for me.

"What are you smirking about?" She looks up at me with those eyes.

"Ahh, nothing..." I say with a slight laugh.

"So where we going to eat?" I ask her.

"We're going home." She says firmly.

She really needs to loosen.

"Hang on a minute." I say and take my arm off her shoulders – Ah no, that doesn't count because I took my arm off. I'll put it back in a sec, it'll be so fast that she won't even notice.

I pull out my mint condition phone.

My red Iphone 5 c.

Special edition Dan Kuso Iphone, specially made for me. It's even got my name printed in the corner. Impressive. I know.

"What's your Mom or Dad's number?" I ask.

"Why..." She says hesitantly.

"I'll call them?" I say.

Why else?

"No." She objects immediately, "No way."

"Why?" I raise an eyebrow. She was stressing a minute ago.

"Why?" He asks blankly.

Why? Why do you think?!

"So you're just gonna call them up and be like 'Hi I'm with your daughter Runo, I've been with her all day.'" I rant, "And of course they'll be totally fine with it!" I say sarcastically.

"Well..." He shrugs, "What else?"

"At least let me call them." I hold my hand out.

He reluctantly hand me his red phone.

Why is so uncomfortable to hold?

I dial in my home number. They should be home.

But after today, I don't think I'll ever be allowed out again.

Well here goes everything.

I put the phone to my ear and hear one ring before and immediate pick up.

"Hello?" Mom asks.

"Hi Mom...it's me..." I mumble...

"Hi Mom...it's me..." She mumbles.

Then she squints and holds the phone a little away from her ear.

I could hear shouting. But I couldn't make out what her Mom was saying though.

"Well – " Runo starts.

Alright. I'll sort this out.

I skilfully slip the phone out of Runo's small hand and put it to my ear.

"D-Dan!" She says in surprise and tries to reach for it by stretching her arms, but too bad she's too short.

I move as Runo tries to jump and grab the phone.

"Hello, is this Mrs Misaki?" I ask politely.

"Runo? Yes Hello? Who is this?" She questions.

"Hello, I've been meaning to meet you. I'm with your daughter at the moment; I assure you she's safe." I explain, "I'll bring her back safely as well."

"Who is this?" She asks with annoyance.

"Don't tell me dear Runo hasn't said a word about me?" I say.

"No! Where is Runo?" Her Mom says with worry.

I glance to Runo, who has a worried look too.

"Well, I'm her boyfriend." I smirk a little.

Her eyes widen.

"Boyfriend?!" Her Mom says in shock and so does Runo.

"Runo never told me?" Her Mom gasps.

"You see, Mrs Misaki," I continue, politely, "She didn't want you to find out. She's a little embarrassed."

"Oh?" Her Mom gasps.

"Dan!" Runo grits her teeth.

"What's your name?" She asks.

"Dan," I start, "Dan Ku-"

"No!" Runo mouths and shakes her head quickly.

"Kusaki!" I say.

"Kusaki?" Her Mom questions.

"Yes, Kusaki..." I nod.

Smooth.

Runo rolls her eyes and holds her head in her hands.

"Anyway, please hold me responsible for taking Runo out," I explain with emotion, "We had a date planned, so I was merely taking her out. As I said she didn't want to say anything."

"No, it's because she left on her shift and we didn't know where she went. She didn't call us either. Thank heavens she's safe!" She says in relief.

"I would never let anything happen to your daughter." I say meaningfully, "I take full responsibility."

"No, no dear! I don't see why Runo didn't tell us! No wonder she's been out recently." She explains.

"Mrs Misaki, you now know the truth." I say whilst smirking at Runo.

"I hope you don't mind if I take Runo out for dinner as planned?" I ask.

"No, of course. Please bring her back though." Her Mum asks, "Could I speak with her for a moment?"

"Of course." I say charmingly and hand the phone to Runo, "Your Mom wants to talk."

She glares me intense evils before taking the phone.

I glare at him and take the phone. He is so dead.

Boyfriend?!

"Hi Mom..." I murmur.

"Runo! You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend! You should carry your phone around too!" Mom goes off on one, like Julie would.

"Mom...do we have to talk about this now?" I say embarrassedly.

"Oh sorry dear, you're right!" She apologizes.

"Honey!" I hear Mom shout to someone else, to Dad I think, "Runo's got a boyfriend!"

"What?" I hear Dad shout.

"Mom!" I say in annoyance.

"I'm going!" I say.

"We must meet him!" Mom insists.

"Not today!" I shout, "Bye!"

I hang up.

I hand the phone back to Dan.

"Nailed it." He smirks in accomplishment.

I take a deep breath.

"You idiot! Why did you say you're my boyfriend? Now they think I have one! And they want to meet you and my life is over! And you're leaving tomorrow, and then they're gonna ask! And they can't see you anyway because they'll recognise who you are! And Dan KUSAKI? Really?" I rant.

"Ssh." He hushes, "Either that. Or you get told off."

I sigh.

He has a point.

"But you don't understand!" I shake my head.

"Let's go and have dinner then." He smiles.

"What?" I widen my eyes.

"I told your Mom we're getting dinner...It's a date remember." He smirks as he wraps an arm around me.

"I told your Mom we're getting dinner," I smirk as I wrap an arm around her shoulders, "It's a date remember."

Yeah, I'm a pro actor.

Dan: 1

Runo: 1 (Well only because I let her, it's gotta be even you know!)

She shrugs my arm off.

Dam it.

I bet if she wasn't in a bad mood she would have let me do that.
