There was a little less then one week until Christmas…the year had gone by fast...and yet I cant seem to fix my problem with Minato.
I went grocery shopping today, I went to look for the ingredients and produce I needed to make the dinner for Christmas this year. I went ahead and got a cart. I strolled along the isles to see if I could find something I might need. I went up to the deli I was waiting for the butcher to ask me if I needed anything. He came along and gave my what I asked for. I decided to go down the 4th isle where the produce was already cut into pieces and packed. I was walking and looking to the left not paying attention to my surroundings. I was pushed back a bit. I crashed into someone.
"oh I'm sorry. Did I hurt you?"
The man looked up at me
"Minato?"
"oh...hey Yukari. Grocery shopping I see."
"uh yeah…I assume you're doing the same?"
"yea, I guess."
I noticed his cart had a bunch of things to prepare a roasted ham…and the spices.
"Are you having dinner with someone?"
"oh uh no, im buying my dinner for Christmas dinner, before they're all gone next week."
"oh aren't you going to eat dinner with us?"
"no." he said blankly.
"oh, you sure?"
"yeah. And I wouldn't want you to have an argument with Astor about me…"
"No, he's okay with you coming." I lied
"thanks, but no thanks Yukari. I can be in the same room with him, it'll be ugly."
"……"
"well then ill see you later." he started to walk away.
"Wait Minato…" I looked around to see if anyone was around., "its been almost 6 years since we spent Christmas together…"
He stopped walking.
"…back at the mall…when we were in high school…how about we spend it together this year…?"
"oh, and how do you plan to do that?" he turned around.
"I don't know…"
"humph, you should think of what you're going to say before you blurt it out."
"but Minato I did, I want to spend Christmas with you…please." walked closer to him.
"……"
"Please?"
"sigh…fine…" he smiled
"thanks" I smiled back. I hugged him. Well kind of my stomach was in the way…
We made our way to the check out. I paid then walked out to my car… Minato walked to me and helped me put my things in the car.
"Thanks." I smiled.
"No problem. You shouldn't be carrying heavy stuff you know."
"I don't think its so heavy."
"haha, still…be careful with what you carry." we finished and he closed the back of the car.
"so, ill just go to you're house?" I said to him.
"yea, sure." he smiled.
"okay then well ill see you later then. Bye." I got in my car. He went to his and I drove home.
