Finally In The Spotlight
~*Daisuke*~
Oh crap. The former girl of my dreams was standing right in front of me. And smiling. She looked so pretty when she smiled. But no, I had to snap out of it! She was probably deeply in love with Takeru, the little … no. I wasn't going to lose my temper. Not now.
"Hi Daisuke," said Hikari, smiling. My knees buckled.
"H … h …i." I stammered, before gathering myself up. I was a wreck! "Hi." I said coolly.
She moved towards me as if to touch me. I moved back. I wasn't ready for that. Not just yet. She contented herself with a friendly and expecting smile. She wanted me to invite her home. It was too fast. Too soon.
"Shall I get a drink?" I motioned to a nearby cafe. She nodded and we walked inside. It was a quaint little place; quiet and calm, with mahogany tables. I chose one near the window and Hikari sat down. I fetched too mugs of Hot Chocalate, praying that Hikari liked Hot Chocalate.
"Daisuke?" she looked at me innocently.
"Please like Hot Choc- yes?" I asked, feeling foolish.
"Sorry," she hung her head and my mouth fell open in utter astonishment.
"For what?" I asked slowly.
"Tormenting you all those years!" she looked up with relish. "I was so mean … and …" she seemed hysterical.
"Oh! That's okay." I said, blushing and feeling embarassed.
There was an awkard silence. I didn't really know what to say, supposedly; neither did she. I smiled nervously and was about to speak when:
"How are you?" Hikari asked, sipping her drink.
"Oh, I'm okay. Lost contact with most of the other Digidestined." I explained.
Her eyebrows raised, "Most?"
"Yeah, most." I told her. "I still know Ken, and you, now …" I broke off.
"And?"
"Never mind!" I laughed, not wanting to go into the matter. "What about you?" I asked brightly, also sipping my frothy drink.
"Taichi and you." she shrugged. "That's it."
I looked at her pretty strands of shiny brown haire that fell elegantly across her face and into her sweet pink eyes, like the colour of carnations. Her skin was pure and her expression innocent. Like an angel. But I shouldn't be thinking that, I reminded myself. It wasn't fair. But still, nobody was to know what I was thinking, what was the harm in admiring the angel in front of me? It was hard not to.
Before long, I had settled into the chat and I was making a joke. Hikari was shaking with laughter, her expression happy and a cheerful smile spread across her face. The Hot Chocalate was forgotten. I couldn't believe my luck. The girl of my former dreams was laughing at my jokes. Almost at my mercy. I slipped into a secret daydream. I snapped out of it minutes later. Whatwas wrong with me? I was being so unfaithful.
"I thought this day was going to be crap." Hikari said, looking at me.
"Me too." I admitted quietly.
I still had my old crush. Even thought I thought I had it locked away in a mental cupboard. I ran a hand through my messy hair, but it remained as messy as ever. I cursed quietly.
"Well …" Hikari seemed to be lost for words. "Maybe we could go back to yours, Dai-chan?"
I knew that was a bad idea. But all I could do was agree. "Yes." I said, before I could stop myself. I was wrapped around her little finger, like her personal slave. She smiled flirtatiously, and as much as I loved the thought of myself and her, I had to stay faithful … the question was:
Would I?
