Chapter Three: Awkward
"For starters, I'm having the time of my life and ........." Hours passed and we talked like we were destined to be best of friends. Nane? Anyway, after our little chitchat I got up from the pool, reached for my robe and sat beside him on the pool's edge while wiping my facing with a towel. ".....he just got lost." We laughed at his story. It was quite hysterical if I say so myself. Then silence. It was o good silence.
"As you said you have a great career, what do you do anyway?" I asked.
"Oh me? Well, I'm a basketball player....." he paused and turned to look at me in full view. "Wait, you don't know what I do?"
"I don't know......" I answered feeling a little bit confused. Was I suppoed to know what his career is? "How would I know? You just arrived last week and Miko hasn't really filled me in about your life. I was feeling shy back then, you know."
He scratched his spiky head. "I'm with the basketball team of Ryonan. I am the ace of the club." He looked at me, his eyes searching for a reaction. He waited for a couple of second. We stared blankly at each other. "What? No reaction?" He piped in.
Now I'm completely lost. "How was I supposed to react?" I asked softly unsure if I myself was reacting strangely.
"Do you watch sports on TV? Or listen to the radio?"
"I don't watch TV or listen to the radio. I read in my library and swim, that's it. Well, I watch movies some other time." His face fell and I felt guilt creeping up at me. "Oh gomen. I get it. So you're in the most popular basketball team in whole of Japan and you're one of the sexiest men in basketball history. Plus, you have the most number of fans ever recorded on guiness." (Gomen, for other Slam Dunk people fans. I'm just making this up. But if you agree well good for you.)
Then a smile appeared on his face. "Yes and sort of. And about the plus, I think so. Well that's what they say. I think my rival, Rukawa Kaede, is catching up on me."
"Are you serious? I mean, I was just kidding around about the most popular basketball team in Japan and sexiest men in basketball history. I was just trying to crack you up." How could I have not known that he was this big star not to mention one of the sexiest? I think I'm a big Do`aho. Argh!
So if he is this big celebrity, I might as well back off before I get too obsessed about this impossible love. I'm sure he has lots of girlfriends back where he came from. I'm just not ready to risk my emotions for something that's out of reach.
He nodded and it just explained everything. How could this blossoming romance turn into a depressing tragedy? I'm not cut out for this! "I gotta go. So see you around. Ja ne!"
"Yeah, see you around." He answered. I can feel he was a little bit puzzled why my voice changed from a calm voice to a hurry-I-need-to-pee kind of voice. I stood up. Walked as fast as I could. Trying to hide what I truly felt inside. "Matte. Aya....," he called. I froze in my tracks, my heart racing rapidly. I can hear my heart pounding through my chest. I put my hand on my heart and tried to lower its pace. Then, I turned around. The sunset made his face glow and accented his hair. I can't do this anymore. I have to forget about this nonsense I have for him.
"Umm, yeah?"
"Are you alright? Your face is all red." He remarked as he turned to face me. He looks gorgeous even more when he is a bit amused. I felt my cheeks burn in embarrassment.
I hope I'm not that obvious. "Of course. It's because of the sunset really."
"I was kinda wondering if you could help me find a present for a special friend. Can you?" He inquired looking uneasy.
"Oh yeah. I'd love that." What am I putting myself into?!
"Are you free tomorrow? Any time of the day."
"Let me see. Hmm? I'm free around three. Does that work for you too? I have make-up classes tomorrow so I'm not gonna be here even if it's a Saturday." I answered. So much for avoiding you.
"No problem. Is there anything else?"
This is so mortifying, big time! For a girl living with one of the wealthiest families why do I have to be so unskillful for... "Well, there is one thing. I don't know to drive, YET." Driving?
"I'll pick you up at school then?"
"Good idea. Is that ok for you anyway? You know, since you're that heck of a popular guy, I bet you'll be mobbed."
"It's a date I mean thanks for the concern. Don't worry I know dodging." Then he smiled, that soothing smile.
Matte, did he mention date?!
