Chapter 2: We thought coffee tasted like chocolate
The taller woman stretched her arms and reached up high. "God!!! I'm so happy today's work is over! I'm beat!"
Miyu stifled a giggle. "Yeah, but you still have time to go shopping and party later! You're amazing!" Miyu continued to giggle.
"Hey! Stop laughing! Partying is like my way of resting. It calms me."
"Fine! Whatever you say!" Miyu laughed loudly.
They were sharing stories and giggling once in a while and passing by restaurants. They entered a rather fancy restaurant so that they could have dinner.
"Table for how many ma'am?"
"Two, please." Miyu replied politely.
"This way madams." The waiter led them to a table near the clear glass window.
As they sat, they browsed the menu given to them by the waiter and thought over on what they'll order.
When they told the waiter their orders, they continued to chat.
A waiter passed by with a tray in hand. A man passed by beside him and accidentally knocked the waiter's tray, which, unfortunately, all the contents landed on Miyu's head.
"Oh! Ma'am I'm so sorry!" The waiter immediately collected the messed up porcelains which landed on the two girl's table, Miyu's head was totally covered with ketchup, and other weird sauce.
"It's okay."
The waiter then got her a towel for her to use.
"How rude is that guy, who hit the waiter!" Nanami exclaimed.
The man turned to her after hearing what she has just said. "I'm sorry."
"Don't say sorry to me!" Nanami raged. "Say it to her." She then pointed to Miyu.
"I'm sorry, Miss!"
Miyu smiled. "It is okay, no harm done, except that my hair is covered with unwanted liquid sauce and my dress is covered with it as well, I'm okay." She smiled.
"You're so kind." The man looked up at Miyu.
And hey, it's kind of cliché, but Miyu knew this guy.
"Oh! Kanata!"
Nanami's eyes widened. That was Kanata?
"Shh!!!" Kanata quickly covered the blonde's mouth. "People mobbed around me!"
"Sorry!"
Kanata helped Miyu stand up. "Come on, I'll help you get a dress and clean up. I have a condo very near hear. You can take a bath there."
"I won't go shopping like this!"
Kanata chuckled. "Well, you don't have a choice. Come on!" They were about to go when he remembered his date. "Friend of Miyu, you could order with Akira over there. She's with me. Tell her I have some business. We'll be quick." And at that Miyu and Kanata left the premises.
They went inside Kanata's car and drove to a dress shop. They entered the shop and man, there were lots of dresses.
"Pick any dress you like."
Miyu wanted everything to be over. She was a mess and she was shopping at the biggest dress shop in town. "Pick me the most expensive dress here!" She ordered one of the sales ladies.
The lady came to her with a dress. The dress was a pretty simple black dress with a diamond brooch in the middle of the halter cut. It dropped right on her knees and it was a perfect fit.
Kanata, being the cause of everything, paid for the dress and they quickly drove to his condo.
Miyu took a quick shower, dressed, and fixed her hair. She took at least an hour to prepare and Kanata became impatient.
"Gosh! Miyu I have a date. You have dinner with your friend. And they're both waiting. Make it snappy!"
"I'm coming!!!" She said irritably.
She went out of the bathroom with her dress on and her hair all fixed.
"Wow!" Kanata said in awe. "For the longest time, we've been best friends, and the first time I saw you after five years was just a few days ago, but this is the most gorgeous I've seen you!"
"So you're telling me I'm not gorgeous unless I dress properly?"
"Something like that!" Kanata teased.
"Baka!" And in one quick move, she hit Kanata on the head. "Let's just go!"
When they were in his car, Miyu's phone rang and she answered.
"Nanami?"
"Miyu, I have to go. So by the time you come back here to the restaurant, I'll not be here. You took so long!" Nanami said over the phone.
"Sorry! I was so sticky all over!" Miyu replied. "Anyway, take care when you go home!"
And she hung up.
"What happened?" Kanata asked.
"Nanami went home."
"Oh. You could just go with Akira and me." Kanata
"Are you kidding? You two are on a date!" Miyu exclaimed.
"So I'll just leave you here? You haven't eaten dinner."
The blonde girl pouted. "Yeah and I just had this new dress."
"Tell you what, after my date with Akira, I'll take you to a nearby coffee shop. We could have dessert."
Miyu eyed him. "So what am I suppose to do while you have your date?"
Kanata looked like he was thinking and said, "You could eat dinner."
"Fine, I'll eat alone."
And so the night went on.
When Akira was about to go home, she approached Miyu and said "Nice meeting you. Kanata has been talking lots about you and his childhood." She smiled.
And Kanata then, brought Akira home.
Miyu decided to go to a nearby coffee and cake shop and waited for Kanata there.
"Hey!" Miyu turned and saw her chestnut haired friend. "At least, now we have time to really catch up on things." Kanata ordered a hot coffee and a cheesecake.
"Yeah…"
A waiter came and brought his order, and he as he was about to take a sip from his coffee he remembered something. "Do you remember when we were kids, we thought coffee tasted like chocolate, and we made lots and drank it at once?" Kanata laughed hard. "That was so funny!"
"I remember that!" Miyu brightened and laughed. "It was the first time we saw each other, when you were new in the neighborhood."
"Yes. That was actually the first time we were introduced to each other."
The boy then took a sip from his coffee. "You know, when I have coffee I remember those times."
The blonde smiled. "I have a habit of having too much coffee and caffeine in my system."
They both laughed and continued their chat.
