Chapter 3:
A Look and Dinner for Three
Through out the next day Sakura thought about the "Motorcycle Guy". She was extremely happy the guy had decided not to turn her in.
When the end of the school day rolled around Sakura couldn't wait to get to the library. The bell rang and she gathered her things and left.
Walking out of the gate, she waited to cross the street. Checking her watch she quickly looked up at the sound of an engine. She looked to her right to follow him as he went by, she saw him turn and look at her.
"Did you see that!"
"Wow, that guy was fast!"
"That guy looked right at me!"
"No he didn't he looked at me!"
"No he looked at me I'm the most beautiful girl here!"
"Did you see his bike? It's a new model!"
"Yeah! Only the racers get to ride those!"
On her way to the library Sakura quietly held herself higher then the other girls at school.
'You guys fight over who he looked at, while me and him see at each other everyday!'
When Sakura got there she saw the guys motorcycle sitting out front. When she got inside the librarian told her that the guy was here and was wondering if she came everyday.
"What did you tell him?"
"That you were here depending on the weather."
"Thanks! See ya later!"
Sakura headed back to her seat. As she turned the corner she saw the guy sitting there with a pile of books. Deciding that she didn't have to go up stairs, she walked over, took a book off his stack, and went to her seat.
The guy looked up at her as she walked off. She sat and smiled at him then began reading.
Over the next few hours they sat in silence, reading, enjoying each others company.
Setting her book down for a second Sakura looked at her watch. Suddenly she stood up knocking the book to the floor. She picked it up and sat it on the guy's stack of books as she raced out of the library.
'CRAP! CRAP! I'm late for dinner!'
Sakura rushed home, seeing her dad's car in the drive way she sped up. Bursting through the front door she threw her bag down and went into the living room.
"DAD I'M HO—" Sakura stooped abruptly.
"Sakura you're home. Please come over here. I'd like you to meet someone."
Sakura looked at the woman standing with her father. She had long black hair and blue eyes. Her outfit was low cut and short. Her father was 45 and this woman looked like she was 35.
'Dad hasn't said why she's here. Maybe she's a newbie at work and Dad invited her to dinner.'
"Hello." Sakura looked at her father.
"Dear this is Ms. Athi."
"Nice to meet you Ms. Athi."
"Nice to meet you Sakura."
"Ms. Athi will be joining us for dinner tonight."
"Oh, ok. Let me get it ready."
"Let me help you Sakura." Ms. Athi walked toward the kitchen.
"Al...right..."
As Ms. Athi walked into the kitchen Fujitaka, Sakura's dad, held on to Sakura's shoulder.
"Sakura, be nice to her, okay?"
Sakura looked at her father. He had a look of peace on his face.
'Crap I hate it when he does that!'
"Sakura?"
"I promise."
Sakura left the room and went into the kitchen. She headed toward the counter, plugging in the rice cooker she turned the stove on and got a pot out of the cabinet.
"So Sakura, what kinds of things do you like?"
Sakura stopped then started to work again. Opening the refrigerator she gave the woman her answer.
"... Reading, the wind, a lot of things I guess. You?"
"Family, work. Everything."
"That's nice."
Sakura continued her work quietly. Almost done with the food she headed to her room to freshen up. Changing her shirt, she was tempted to just escape the waiting catastrophe down stairs by jumping out of the window.
"Just calm down Sakura. You'll be fine. Just get this over with, then make up some excuse to leave.
Heading down stairs she quietly gathered the food and placed it on the table.
"Thank you Sakura."
"No problem Dad." She sat down beside her father and across Ms. Athi.
Through out the dinner she watched her father and Ms. Athi discuss in length what happened at work. Being of no interest to her she thought about the book upstairs, hidden under a floor board beneath her bed.
Getting up, she grabbed her cup to refill it with some water. She returned to the dinning room.
She stopped, observing what her father and Ms. Athi were doing.
'Maybe it won't be too bad. Nothing has happened yet.'
That's when the zillions of brain cells in her skull decided to review what was just recently passed through her brain.
"Oh my...
