Chapter Five: Difference
Standing on the sidewalk of 59th Street, Mimi looked down at her cute, little feet with recently polished toe nails of sparkling crimson. She moved the left foot and place it at 30 degree angle of the other one as a sort of shoe pose. She was wearing black, platform sandals, matching her black miniskirt with a babyblue blouse.
She adjusted her purse strap and gazed up at her companion, who was taking in the sights of New York City. He held two Bloomingdale bags with his right hand while the other was stuffed in his pocket. He stood tall but casually, and it was then that Mimi noticed how tall he was even with her 3-inch platforms. She reached her hand up and took his white hat off.
He turned to her raising an eyebrow curiously.
"You're much cuter without it on," she stuck her tongue out at him and messed his hair up a bit, giving him that rough, sexy look. "There. Now you look older and sexy," she grinned, causing him to blush. She hooked her arm around his and gave it a small hug. "You've really grown, ya know, Keru-chan. You used to be so small, and now you're taller than me!
"I bet Ishida even has to look up to you, hm?"
That made him laugh.
He had such a carefree laughter too, and so adorable. There was a special charm about him that she adored. No other guy she had known or met carried such a sweet, loose nature about him like he did.
She wondered how Hikari didn't snatch him up right away, even after the many years they've known each other. Mimi wouldn't have minded to be with him, but they did have a 3-year age difference. She didn't mind the age at all, but did he? Did he even feel something more than friendship? But they were still young, especially him.
She sighed inwardly, pushing those thoughts away, as they caught a taxi cab.
These have been short, but think of them as TakImi vignettes. I write them as they come to me and when I have time. Enjoy!
