Terri & Mitsui
Note: Terri's point of view.
I'm really blushing at the time Hisashi told me he was going to bring me to the best restaurant. I was really flattered. I don't think Hisashi was hitting on me. I trust him. I don't want our relationship to change. I'm not ready yet. I was walking with Hisashi towards the gym, I just noticed that he really was cute. He's handsome. I could fall for him if only he wasn't my best friend.
"About practicing our lines for tomorrow," I started a conversation, "We could practice at our house later after our 'friendly date'."
"I think not. My parents will be going out later at nine. I need to be at home."
"Well, let's practice at your house. We'll also study together just like old times."
"Sure. That'll be great and tomorrow we go to your house for our practice and study session."
"Right."
When we reached the gym…
"Well, gotta run! Gonna practice harder."
If only he knew…
I also run to the girl's lockers and wore my usual basketball outfit, shorts and my maroon hanging sleeveless shirt and my handy-dandy rubber shoes. Coach Anzai asked me to be a keeper and to practice inexperienced players. I accepted it to fill my time just watching them practice. And I'll be a big help for the school too. I walked towards Coach Anzai who was signaling me to go to him. I ran towards him.
"Akagi!"
"Hai, Anzai-sensei."
"You already know Terri Seiya?"
"Hai," He turned to me and said, "Hi Seiya-chan."
"Hi!"
"I asked her to be our keeper and to practice and to teach inexperienced players."
Akagi nodded.
"Introduce her to the members."
"Hai!"
Akagi whistled to the players. All the players assembled in front of us.
"I would like you all to know that Anzai-sensei asked Seiya-chan to be our keeper."
I bowed down to show gratitude. Those two freshmen that Hisashi introduced to me the other night were looking at me at a different way. I hate it.
"When did Mr. Anzai asked you?"
"This morning."
"Why didn't you told me?"
"I wanted to surprise you."
"You surprised me all right." He smiled at me. I smiled back.
"One-on-one?" He asked me.
"Maybe you'll be too tired later…"
"No way! I'll have the chance of dating you and to reminisce old times and I'll be too tired?!"
"Well…"
"Come on! I'll be easy on you."
"I'll ask Mr. Anzai first."
I walked towards Anzai-sensei and had his permission to play one-on-one with Hisashi.
I showed him a slip and we ran towards the other court.
"Remember to take it easy on me." I shouted.
"I remember."
I know something's been occupying Hisashi since last night but I don't know what it is. We played. Boy! Was his defense weak and his shooting was terrible!
"We need to work on your defense and your shooting before the game between us and Shoyo begins."
"You can have all the time to teach me."
"You sure?" We talked while we were playing.
"Yeah. Saturday, the whole day, I can spend it with you if you're free."
"You're on!"
Our one-on-one has come to an end when the practice is done on 6:00pm. I won! For the first time, I won against Hisashi Mitsui!
"Congratulations Terri-chan. You won!" Hisashi kissed me. I was stunned but it was absolutely fantastic. I didn't hold back, I kissed him back. I totally forgot there were still people in the gym. When I came back to my senses, because of the people shouting, I hold back.
"I'm sorry," Hisashi apologized, "I really didn't mean to."
"I'm sorry too. I got lost."
"It's just that…" He trailed off.
He looked at me as if he wants to do it again. I was hoping. But he shook his head and went straight to the lockers. I was left there staring into blank space.
"Terri."
I heard Coach Anzai called me from behind.
"Anzai-sensei. I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. Honest!"
I noticed that I was a nervous wreck at that time.
"You did great!" He praised me.
"What?!" I was so surprised.
"Thanks for getting Hisashi out of his long time misery. He lacked attention since he had his leg injury so he joined the gang. But he saw you again, I don't know how to tell you this, He fell in love at once. So I asked you to be the keeper so you could train him again."
"How'd you know that, Anzai-sensei?"
"He talked to me on the phone last night. Told me he couldn't sleep because he was thinking of you. The poor boy…"
We saw Hisashi coming out from the locker rooms without anyone else.
"Let him tell you the rest."
Anzai-sensei left. I rushed towards Hisashi and consoled him.
"Don't worry about it. Mr. Anzai told me all about last night."
"He did?!"
I nodded.
"Well, I understand if you don't want to go with me to the date this evening and our plans."
I rejected his thoughts. "I'll go out with you on this date and any other date you ask me to go with you. And our plans will stay."
"You will?!"
I nodded.
"Then, let's go! I'll drive you home and I'll pick you up after thirty minutes."
"Deal!" I smiled at him. And we took off.
Note: Mitsui's point of view.
I really don't know what others have thought about it. But I like what has rooted. I rushed home and took a shower excited about the fact that I'm dating Terri tonight! I wore my best formal wear and my best tie, which I was saving for a special occasion. This is a special occasion. In fact, This is the best! I run to my car and looked at my watch. I still got 15 minutes. I'm really excited! I drove to Seiya's residence and rang the doorbell. Terri answered the door. She wore a black dress too tight, which showed her perfect figure and her legs since the skirt was above the knees. She wore a light touch of make up and her usual lip-gloss. Her diamond earrings were back and her hair was permed. She looks gorgeous!
"Guess I was excited." She said.
"Believe me, you're not the only one." I gave her a wide smile.
"Daddy's sleeping right now. We'd better go."
"Right." I held out my gentleman pose and her hand slipped to my hand.
I led her to the car and opened the door for her. When she had entered the door, I closed it behind her and entered the car from the driver's seat. I played the song 'Sayonara' from the CD I have and drove. She started a conversation.
"You look great tonight."
"Thanks. You look gorgeous, not only tonight but everyday."
"Thanks. I'm flattered."
"It's the truth."
I saw her blush.
I let it stay that way 'til we reached the restaurant.
