Chapter 3: Sana & Nao

"Come on Sana! We're gonna be late! Dinner reservations are a 6:30. Hurry up!" That was Naozumi's voice. Him and Sana were going out to dinner . . . again. Akito and Sana haven't spoken in nearly a month now. Naozumi has been taking Sana out a lot . . . and Sana's enjoying it.

She walked down the front stairs. Her dress was baby blue with glistening sparkles covering the whole thing. Her blush was a light pink. Her lips were bright red. She looked beautiful.

Naozumi was standing at the bottom of the stair, staring open mouthed at his date. "What?" Sana asked confused.

She's always so dense. Naozumi thought. Instead, he replied, "You look amazing!"

Sana blushed. I never dressed up this way when I was with Akito. She thought. Then she quickly left that thought behind and grabbed Naozumi's outstretched arm. "Where are we going tonight, Nao?"

"You'll see," he replied smiling. They walked out the door and down the street.

Finally they arrived at a beautifully decorated restaurant called, Bella Vita. ((N/A this is a real restaurant and i couldn't think of any other name. i know it's not japanese or any thing but just go along . . . k?))

"Wow! It looks great already!" Sana gasped. Right then, she saw someone sitting at one of the outdoor tables. It was Akito! But he was alone. "Oh no. Nao, look over there," Sana said pointing to Akito's table. "What am going to dp! I haven't talked to him in over a month! I can't let him see us together!"

"Wait a minute, why can't he see us together? You've moved on and it's his own fault! If he gets upset just because we're going to dinner together then that's not my problem. I want to enjoy a nice dinner with my girlfriend no matter who's here!" Noa said, out of breath.

"Well . . . I guess you're right," Sana said nervously. Do I still have feelings for Akito? she thought. But, I can't, I mean, I've moved on. I'm with Nao now. But then why would I care so much about hurting him. I did it when we broke up. But . . . I was angry then. No, I have to stop thinking like this. I'm with Naozumi now. That's it.

They walked into the restaurant and sat down at their table. "Um . . . Sana, I need to ask you something," Naozumi said.

"What is it Nao?" Sana asked.

Naozumi glanced over at Akito and said, "Do you still have feelings for Akito?"

Sana froze. "W-well, of course n-not," she stammered. "I'm going out with you now. I'm done with him." She looked down into her lap and started fiddling with her napkin.

"Okay . . . If you're sure" Naozumi replied sounding worried.

"Um . . . Nao, I need to ask you something too. Remember when you told me all that stuff Akito said? Well . . . what exactly did he say?"

"Well, um, he said, uh, that you really hated me and the only reason you hung out with me id because you felt bad that you turned me down when I told you that I loved you," Naozumi replied quickly.

"Did he really say that stuff? Cuz, I can't imagine him ever saying that to anyone. He couldn't have been that jealous . . . right?" Sana asked.

"Well, I guess he was. Okay, no more talking about Akito. Let's talk about something else. Hey, I just started this new job and . . ."

Sana looked over at Akito. She stared for a long time while Naozumi kept talking. Oh, how I wish he would just hold me in his arms like he used to. When did I start feeling this way again? Aren't I supposed to be angry at him for trying to tear me and Naozumi apart? But, that doesn't mean we can't be friends . . .right? No, I can't do that to Naozumi. I accepted his love and that's it. But I wonder, does Akito think about me all the time like I think of him? Sana was thinking like this for the rest of the night without giving Naozumi any idea that she was. When Akito got up and left, Sana continued to stare in the same place wishing he was there again. She had to do something, but she couldn't. She loved Naozumi . . . right?

Sana walked home with Naozumi. He left her at her front door with a soft kiss. She watched him walk down the street away from her house wishing it was Akito who had just kissed her goodnight. But it wasn't, and it can't be.

Sana walked into her house and up to her room. She plopped herself on her bed and went to sleep almost instantly dreaming about Akito once again.
