Where's my Vespa?
Chapter 3 Part 1
On The Floor
Author's Note: OMG so sorry! I haven't updated in a looooong time. I hope this chapter is alright.
"So…why did you shoot me Takkun?" Haruko was sitting crosslegged, in a seemingly type of Yoga position on Naota's floor. Between the two was a bad of Dorito's and a couple Pepsi's.
Naota looked away…anywhere but Haruko's face. He began moving his finger in a slow motion on his Pepsi can, before answering. "You abandoned me."
Haruko crushed a Dorito peice under her thumb. She stared at the orange spot now on the floor, and brushed it away. "I'm here now."
"But what about the times you weren't here?"
Haroko stood up and waked to the window. She stared out it a moment, before returning back to her seat. She reached to the desk chair, where her new red bass guitar was seated. She grabbed it and placed her fingers on the fingerboard. "You know Takkun, this Earth, this Universe, is like this bass." She placed her finger on the third line on the lowest string. "Sometimes you play it just right." She strummed. "And sometimes you slip a little and play something different." She purposely played the wrong note. "But just because it isn't what you're expecting doesn't mean it isn't worth paying attention to."
Naota considered this for a moment. "Mmmm…." He stared at Haruko, who stared back with a slight smile curling on her thin lips. "So Takkun." She stopped.
Naota stood up and sat on the bed. Haruko followed and sat beside him. For a moment, they just sat there, with Naota's head leaning against Haruko's shoulder.
