It was a Sunday, and Daisuke found himself thinking about Riku once again. For the whole week, their chance meeting had been running through his mind, day and night. Shaking his head, Daisuke decided to go and take a small walk to get his mind straight.
" Mom! I'm leaving!" Daisuke shouted, and ran down the street.
"Ok, Dai-sweetie! Just make sure you're back by five. We have a dinner at my colleague's house. They have two lovely girls who I want you to meet." Emiko, his mother shouted happily.
"There's only one girl I want to meet right now. Riku. Where are you? What are you doing?" Thought Daisuke, as he ran down the street.
"Mom! I'm NOT wearing that!" Daisuke repeated, in protest.
"But Dai-sweetie, you don't know these people! You have to make a good impression on them for your first time seeing them." Emiko said, holding up a collared white shirt and tie.
He sighed heavily. "I guess…" he mumbled. "But what if they don't dress up?" he retorted.
"Of course they will. Hurry up now, or we'll be late!" Emiko winked and ran down the stairs, humming to herself.
"Moms..." Daisuke muttered under his breath.
"THIS is their house! What are they, rich?" Daisuke said in awe.
"Well, of course. My friend is in a very high position at work…"
"Then I hope he's not a snob. And I hope the 'lovely' girls you keep talking about aren't either."
"Don't be like this, Daisuke. He's a very kind man, and he loves his daughters very much. I just know they will be just like him."
They rang the doorbell. A girl answered the door.
"R-R-RIKU?" Daisuke stuttered. He turned bright red as he looked at her.
"D-Daisuke? I don't believe it! You're Emiko-san's son?" She also turned bright red as they looked at each other.
"Oh, how sweet!" interrupted Emiko. "You two know each other already?"
"Well... Uh... we met once. That's all", said Daisuke.
"Yeah... omigod! I forgot! I'm sooo sorry. Please, come in!"
"No problem, thank you, Riku! You're such a polite girl. You should teach Daisuke a thing or two!" she teased.
"MOM!"
"Well, aren't we touchy." She said, and left them standing on the porch alone.
An awkward and familiar silence came between them again.
"...Hi. Riku." Daisuke finally said. "I'm... happy to be here today." He turn crimson.
"Uh... thanks. I'm happy you're here too." Riku said, almost so quietly that Daisuke couldn't hear her. "Um… lets… go inside. C'mon."
She smiled, took Daisuke's hand, and led him inside.
Sorry, that was a really short chapter, but that was because I didn't like the idea of putting the next chapter with this one, where the beginning was so off topic.
This is my first time writing a story, so please review. Sorry, I don't know how to turn off the 'users only' for the reviews. Can anyone help out? '
