"Good-morning Ichigo! Isn't it a wonderful day?" Mint teased, seeing Ichigo drag her feet as she walked into the Mew Mew Café, dark circles underlining her maroon eyes.
"I haven't noticed." Ichigo mumbled half asleep. She plopped down in one of the café chairs, letting her head hit the table with a thump.
"Why..why work on a weekend..I want more sleep!" Ichigo whimpered.
Mint placed her tea cup on the table, across from Ichigo and quietly sat down to sip her tea. Amazing, she obviously didn't have very much sleep, and she still arrived to work on time.
"Why did that jerk have us work on a weekend . . . I hardly got a wink of sleep last night." The maroon-haired girl groaned into the table.
"And especially on the weekend I'm going out on a date with Masaya!" Ichigo suddenly jumped from her chair, completely awake. Her eyes glistening.
"Oh..Masaya.." she said dreamily, a color of pink kissing her cheeks. Ichigo spun around replaying the moment Masaya held her hand and spoke words ofdeep love he held for her. She laid awake most of the night, too excited about Masaya's special date he promised her. It's too good to be true...
Mint sweat dropped. "Oh my goodness, Ichigo! Look out!" A voice shouted from behind Ichigo, but it was too late. Ichigo had collided with Retasu, sending a tray of cream cakes all over Ichigo and the freshly cleaned floor.
"Oh Ichigo! I'm so sorry...I-I wasn't watching where I was going.." The green-haired girl timidly apologized as she started clearing the mess onto her tray.
Mint quietly sipped her tea, completely use to the sound of breaking plates. Ichigo slid around in the smashed cream cakes, cream everywhere as she helped Retasu.
"Aw, don't worry about it Retasu, I'm sure it's more my fault than yours."Ichigo said chuckling. Retasu smiled shyly to her friend.
After stacking all the broken plates onto the tray, Retasu hauled the tray back to the kitchen, leaving Ichigo to wash the floor, which she terribly failed at doing.
Cream cake was everywhere and all over the neko. She gathered a wet rag and started scrubbing the bright colored floor on her hands and knees.
Mint got up from her seat and headed for the kitchen, most likely for another fill of tea. "Gee, thanks for the help.."Ichigo grumbled, her eyes turning to slits.
Cream covered her maroon hair and was all over her uniform. "This can't get any worse.." She grumbled.
"Well now, what happened here?"a familiar deep voice asked, hints of amazement throughout his tone. ICHIGO! YOU SHOULD SHUT UP AND BE A MUTE!
"Uh.." Ichigo looked up into two ice blue eyes, uncomfortably close. Her face grew red, her body frozen.
"Uh..I-I...IT'SNONE OF YOUR BUSINESS, RYOU!" She yelled in his handsome face, causing the teen to fall back onto the floor.
She returned to scrubbing, but this time it looked at if she had a passion to get to china.
Ryou smirked at Ichigo's spaz, as he sat down in a nearby chair... "Looks like someone got up on the wrong side of the bed."
He crossed his arms over his chest. "All thanks to a certain somebody!" Ichigo glared at the blonde young man, blushing from his intense stare. He had an arrogant flare to him that got on Ichigo's nerves from time to time. Though she thought him to be a pest for teasing her, she was fond of him...
A few times, Ryou had shown her little acts of kindness, through saving her a piece of strawberry cheese cake, or simply keeping her company. Her eyes traveled his arms and his shoulders... Eh..he's hot..
Her pale face suddenly turned beet red. ICHIGO, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!? You have Masaya.. The other Ichigo piped up.. Well, I'm just admiring... Can't I just–
"Are you checking me out?" Ryou asked, flashing Ichigo an arrogant smirk, his eyes holding an emotion Ichigo had never seen before.. A emotion..of LUST? WHAT THE HECK? HE'S CHECKING ME OUT! What a pervert..Laughs uneasily in mind.
Her face turned a deeper red.
"W-WHAT? I'M NOT CHECKING YOU OUT!" Ichigo's tone lowered a few notches seeing customers had stopped eating and were staring straight at her. I'm such a dork... heavy sigh
"I'm just looking at y-you.. Can't I look at you...?" her voice a whisper.
Ryou stood up with a slight smile, and turned to head to his room. He turned to look at her over his shoulder.. "Sure you can, as long as you don't drool all over my café." his lips curled into a lazily smirk, and before long he was upstairs doing who-knows what in his room.
Ugh.. Ryou is such a jerk..! Ichigo quickly finished the floor, hoping not to meet up with Ryou again.
Yeah! My first chapter! So happy :D.. Anyway, let me know what you think! REVIEW!
