Chapter 14 Friday, Guess What Day that is?
"Good Morning." I turned to Syoaron at the sound of his voice.
"Hey." I set his breakfast on the table. "So today's yours and Yuki's anniversary huh?"
"Yeah."
"Are you going to come home for dinner? Tell me so I'll know."
"I'm pretty sure I'm going to get home late."
"Oh, okay. I've got to work early today so I'll see you later or tomorrow okay?"
"Okay, bye."
"Bye."
I took the bus to my work place and changed into my work clothing. Today Tomoyo wasn't working with me. Great, I was going to be even border than yesterday. I just hope no one today was going to be like the person from yesterday.
I waited in line like any other day and waited for the next customer. Surprisingly there weren't a lot of people coming in and out today. I hope Moon Restaurant wasn't losing business because of me!
"Good Morning." I bowed to my customer and lead him to his table. So far so good, but this guy was weird; he was wearing black glasses with a black suit. He looked familiar, but I couldn't come up with any clue on whom he was. His hair was messy and it looked familiar. The color was a chocolate brown and that was also familiar. One thing that wasn't familiar about him was his mustache.
"What would you like for refreshment sir?"
"I would like a water." Even that voice sounded familiar but it was deeper
After a couple of minutes his water was given to him.
"Are you ready to order yet?" I asked notepad in hand and pen in hand.
"I would like the special for today." Even his orders were very familiar too.
"All right, it'll only be a couple of minutes.
"Wait; give me two plates and what's your favorite drink here?"
I looked at him like he was some crazy guy. "I…um… I just like water."
"Okay and another cup of water too then please." He gave me a smile that also looked very similar.
"Okay…" This guy was weird. I've never seen or heard of a guy like him before.
"Here are your foods and your drink sir. Please enjoy." I lay the plate down in front of him and the other plate on the opposite side that was supposed to be for the other person.
"Thanks." I turned around to walk away. "Hey, would it be all right of you answer some questions for me please?"
I turned back to look at him. "Sure." I went up to him and stood next to him.
"You can take a seat in front of me."
"But…"
"Just take a seat."
"Okay." Boy was this guy demanding.
"Okay, first question, how much do you get pay per hour?"
"Nine dollars."
"Next, who is the owner of this restaurant?"
"My friend's boss."
"And who is your friend."
"Syoaron Li."
"Really? Guess who I am?"
"I don't know who you…Syoaron!" He took off his glasses and his fake mustache and asked in that deep voice of his.
"Got chu. Hey have breakfast-lunch with me."
"What?" He sure is a weird guy. "I can't, I have to work."
"There's an answer that you got wrong."
"What?"
"On who owns this place."
"But you told me it was your dad's."
"Well my dad gave it to me today."
"So…what's your point? And besides, aren't you supposed to be at work today?"
"I am at work."
"What?"
"I have to check out the restaurant today. And my point is since I am now the owner of this place I'll give you a day off today at no extra loss."
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh just eat already."
"Okay, okay."
This was my very first time eating in this restaurant, well actually it was the first time I had try some of the food here too. Funny how I've been working here for at least a month and I haven't even tried their food yet.
"This is good. You guys have very good chefs." I talked mouth still full of food.
"Don't tell me that you've had work here for this long and you haven't even eaten the food here."
"This is my first."
"What do you eat during lunch break?"
"I eat at Burger King." We ate in silence.
"Are you finished yet?" Syoaron asked out of no where.
"Yeah, why?"
"Okay let's go." Syoaron grabbed my hand and ran to the door. "Mr. Toroshi, Sakura's getting a day off today okay?"
"Yes sir." Mr. Toroshi bowed but we were out the door before he could even look up again.
"Where are we going Syoaron?" I asked with Syoaron still holding onto my hand. "And where's your car?"
"I asked one of my workers to take it home for me so we'll be walking around for today." He finally let go of my hand and stretched. His arms were behind his head.
"Where are we going?" I asked again.
"I don't know, I'll think of something." I felt like today was going to be a boring day.
"Well if you don't have anything planned then I'll like to…woo!" Before I could even finish speaking he had already grabbed onto my hand again and talked running towards the bus stop.
"Let's go to the amusement park today!"
"What!"
"Let's go to the amusement park today! It'll be fun!"
We stopped at the bus stop and waited for the bus to come.
"Hey can you hold on to this for me?" We were on the bus now on our way to the amusement park. I was sitting next to the window and before I could even answer yes or no he had already threw me his suit coat.
"Thanks." I rolled my eyes and looked at what he was planning to do. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the first two button of his shirt and rolled up his sleeves. He pulled out his shirt that was once perfectly tucked in.
He looked…he looked hot. This was the first time I actually had a very close up look on Syoaron besides yesterday night…yesterday night…
"Hey, I look hot huh?"
I snapped out of my gaze and found that I as staring at Syoaron. I felt my face burning up and everything from yesterday wasn't in my mind anymore.
"Eww…no."
Syoaron took his coat back from me and looked out the window. I looked out the window too.
"What are you looking at?" I asked.
"Nothing." He looked sad for a moment then looked at me with a big smile.
"We're here."
"What?"
We were there already? That was pretty fast.
"Hey let's go on this one!" Syoaron pointed to the highest roller coaster I've ever seen.
"NO WAY! Are you crazy? What if I get a heart attack?"
"Oh you whine too much. Come on."
"Okay...Are you sure about this Syoaron?" I wasn't sure if I was going to survive such a scary looking thing.
"GET READY YOU GUYS!" The announcement went on.
I was listening to what the guy had to say and before I knew it the ride had already started going up the tracks. I took in a deep breath and butterflies were already beginning to form.
"OH my god Syoaron! I am going to kill you!"
"I didn't do anything."
"Sy…oaroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I am never ready for anything. The roller coaster went down at super high speed at the time I had least expected it.
Finally the ride was over.
"Sakura are you okay?" He started laughing. "Your hair is so funny looking! It's sticking out everywhere!" He stopped laughing as soon as I gave him the death glare.
"Um Sakura, you might want to let go of me." I looked down to his arm and I was holding onto him as if my life depended on him. My hands were to the point that it actually turned white.
I let go and got off the ride first then started going before him.
"Hey Sakura! Wait up!" Syoaron caught up to me. "I'm sorry. I won't make you go on anymore of those scary rides."
I gave him a weak smile. His face lit up.
"Great! Let's go on the next one!" Before I could protest he had already grabbed onto my arm and lead me to…lead me to the MERRY GO ROUND! I loved the Merry Go Round. I had time to relax and best of all it wasn't a scary ride! This time it was me who was dragging Syoaron to the ride.
"Come on Syoaron you are so slow!" I was anxious to get on the ride.
"Little kids these days." I looked at Syoaron and caught him rolling his eyes. I shot him another death glare. "Okay, okay. It's nothing to kill over for."
"Wee!" Syoaron gave me a weird look. "Syoaron this is so fun!" I was sitting on my horse while old memories came swarming back. "I remember when I was seven and my mom recorded me going on the merry go round for the first time. You see they always worked and I actually never got the chance to go to the amusement park until seven. The first ride I went to was the merry go round because the horses were so pretty!" I said with delight.
"I went on the merry go round at age five. Now, if I'm correct, four years before you did?"
"It's only because you were born first."
"So." I rode on the horse with a big smile the whole time. Syoaron seemed to be enjoying himself also.
"I'm hungry. Let's go and get something to eat." Syoaron ran towards the food court. I caught up to him. "What do you want?"
"I want some dipping dots." (I love those ice cream! It's an ice cream that are in tiny little balls that are the sized of a…bead…I think?)
"Sure."
"MMMMMM……I love ice cream!" It's been so long since I've had ice cream and the feeling was like heaven!
"Sounds like you're in heaven." Is it just me or is Syoaron a physic?
"What ride should we go to next?"
What a day! I was sore all over. We were at home now and it was only 3.
"Hey Sakura, I'm going to go now. I'm going to go and meet Yuki." Yuki, at the sound of her voice my day today had already started going bad.
"Okay, bye." He left and now I was all alone. What went through my head right now was why he came over to my job and took me out. Was it only because he was bored and Yuki was somewhere else and he didn't have anything to do? Maybe he was just being a good friend and trying to make me forget all my bad experience. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that was it only.
I watched Syoaron's car zoom off.
Syoaron's POV
I left Sakura at home and went to look for Yuki just like I had said. She was meeting me at Happy Day Restaurant.
"Syoaron! Over here!" Yuki raised here arm up in the air and gestured for me to go over to her.
"Hi Yuki."
"Only a "hi", and no kiss?" I gave her a kiss on the cheeks. Usually I gave her one on the mouth but it felt weird if I did. I could see the disappointment in her face. "Happy 3rd anniversary." She said with a big smile looking as innocent and beautiful as ever.
"Happy 3rd year anniversary too Yuki. You want to go somewhere else?" She nodded her head. I lead her to my car. Honestly I had no plan on where to take her. "Is there a place you would like to go to?"
"Let's go to the flower shop."
"Sure thing."
"Syoaron, this flower is so pretty." Yuki squeaked at the Lady Slipper.
"Yeah." I was bored out of my mind, but trying as hard as I can to have fun.
"Hey Syoaron, can you buy me these?" She picked up a banquet of the Lady Slipper.
"Sure." I gave her a smile and paid for the flowers.
"Thanks Syoaron." She smelled the flower and her face lit up. "They smell so good!"
Pretty soon it was 9 and the only place we went to was the beach to have a picnic.
"I'll see you tomorrow Yuki." I smiled at her and kissed her goodnight.
"Good night too Syoaron," Yuki smiled and went inside her house.
It's been a long time since I've spent time with Yuki and I should be enjoying this day. But today, the excitement that I use to feel wasn't there. I didn't know what was going on in my mind. Maybe it was just because of the incident a couple of days ago, that's why I felt weird around her.
I arrived home shortly afterwards. The lights were off. I was going to turn on the lights in the living room when I noticed the T.V. was on and a sleeping form was on the sofa.
I turned off the T.V. and walked over to Sakura. I bent down to her level and looked at her sleeping form. She looked so peaceful, but then so sad at the same time. Maybe she was stress out because of the things that had been happening to her lately. I hope today was a good day for her and I hope she enjoyed it as much as I did.
I carried her to her room and sat her silently and carefully on her bed. I covered her with the blanket and left the room.
"Syoaron…" Before I closed the door I swore I could of have heard my name. I shook my head no and walked over to my room. I was just imagining things.
