Chapter 8: Meeting you
"So I heard u got married." Takuya asked.
"It never happened actually."
"Really? That's interesting."
"What a bastard." Koji muttered to himself.
"Hmm, I have an idea, why don't you and your friend," He looked at her smiling at him.
"Zoë…this is Zoë." Nina grabbed her arm.
"Hi." She said.
"Zoë, nice to meet you." Takuya smiled. "Anyway, why don't you and I go on a double date?"
"Ha…like she would go on a date with you." Koji once again muttered putting his 6th item down.
"Really? That would be great! Who else would join us?" Nina seemed excited about the idea.
"Well I was thinking, I don't know if it's a good idea that Zoë would go out with my friend here" Takuya, without looking, grabbed Koji by the shirt. "Koji. If you don't mind that is." Takuya suggested.
"Don't I get a saying in this?" Koji said.
Without looking at Koji, Takuya answered. "No."
Zoë and Nina looked at each other and smiled in agreement. "It's a double date then." Nina shook on it. "Hey, do know where I can get ketchup around here?" Nina asked.
"Of course! I'll take you there as a matter of fact!" Takuya patted Koji on the back as he left with Zoë alone with him.
"So…" Koji began. "Your name is Zoë huh?" he asked.
"Yeah, my name's Zoë. Your name must be Koji then huh?" She asked looking at the frozen food section right across from him.
"Yup. So Zoë," He walked very slowly with his cart. "What….do you do?" He asked.
"Oh, I'm a chef at the Japanese Eclipse." Zoë nodded.
"Oh you're a chef. Nice…" Koji was impressed.
"So what do you do?" Zoë asked.
"I'm a Fire Fighter, I work for Ladder 49. Takuya's my boss." Koji said following Zoë.
"Really? He doesn't seem the leader kind of person." Zoë walked by Koji's side.
"Yeah, that's what I thought in the beginning. He may not look like it, but he is a really good leader." Koji said.
"Yeah, I guess that's what you call more then meet's the eye." Zoë said.
"Yeah…I guess your right." Koji said seeing Takuya and Nina coming towards the two laughing. They seemed to have a good time.
"Hey Koji! We're going on the date tonight at 8!" Takuya announced.
"Tonight?" Koji and Zoë said in unison; they looked at each other.
"Whoa…" Nina smiled.
"Yeah tonight at 8…do you have something else planned?" Takuya looked at Zoë and Koji.
"But we just barely met…" Zoë said.
"That's why dates were invented! So we could get to know each other more!!" Nina said placing two bottle of Ketchup inside Zoë's cart.
"I guess your right." Zoë said.
"So where are we going to go?" Koji asked.
"Japanese Eclipse! Where Zoë's works at!" Nina said.
"Oh." Zoë and Koji said unison again.
"Wow…you guys like, said the same thing. It's pretty weird!" Nina said.
"See you guys tonight then!" Nina and Zoë waved bye to them.
Koji looked at Takuya as he waved goodbye to them, then looked at Koji.
"What?"
"Bastard." He threw a bottle of mustard at him.
"Ow!" He picked of the bottle and followed Koji. "What? What did I do?"
