"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." My father said. My parents finally looked at me, they grinned. My father was the first one to speak, "We invited them for supper today because we wanted to talk about the charity concert," he said, sitting down on a vacant chair on beside the table, we all followed the same gesture.

My sister leaned down to whisper in my ear, "Lucky!"

I rolled my eyes, my sister was really acting like Mio, if I may say so myself. I looked at Hamai Misa, her husband (I don't really know his name) and Tsukimori-kun.

As usual Tsukimori-kun had a cold expression on his face, stunning to believe that he was actually her son.

Hamai Misa-san folded her arms under her chin, she smiled at me, "So Kahoko, you're going to play the violin with my son." She commented.

That simple statement made me shiver, "Y-yes, I am.." I stuttered, she quickly exchanged meaningful glances with my parents then focused on me again, "Do you want to come over our house to practice?"

I looked at Tsukimori-kun, he was staring at his mother, his eyes surprised, "Uh, I'm not really sure about that…" I said, nervously. It was hard enough to think that I had to play with Tsukimori-kun, much more if I was going to practice with him alone for a couple of days, I shivered.

My sister nudged me; she gave me the are-you-crazy-this-is-your-chance look. I sighed; my sister is really pushy about the violin romance either. She's very gushy when it comes to romance, you could say she was too emotional, "I'll see if I can." I said in defeat.

Everyone beamed except for me and Tsukimori-kun, I frowned, and 'Things just keeps on getting worse every minute.'

The food finally came, my parents kept on talking with Tsukimori-kun's parents, and I ate my food silently. I kept on worrying what would happen to me, but there's I'm sure of, Tsukimori-kun would definitely be annoyed with me.

Everyone was done eating and we were just going to get up, "Wait a minute," Hamai Misa-san said, "The reason I asked you two to bring your violins is because, I wanted to hear you two play a piece first."

My mouth fell open while Tsukimori-kun was taken aback by what his mother said, "Now," she said, clapping twice, "Get up there on the stage you two. Try playing Ave Maria."

I gripped my violin tighter, 'Is she crazy?' I though, I looked at Tsukimori-kun, he was already heading to the stage, an obedient son, huh? I took a deep breath and trudged forward to the stage… why would a restaurant even have a stage?

I as already trembling when I reached for my violin to open it… what should I do?

Len's POV

When I heard my mother call me, I went out of my room, she was smiling at me, "Len, we're going to go out for dinner, someone's invited us actually, and go get dressed." She said.

I was used to obeying rules, so I went back to my room to get changed. After I was done changing, I went out to see my father waiting for me, "Bring your violin with you Len, you'll be needing it later."

I was puzzled, but I didn't show it on my face, "Yes father." I said then I gently went to get my violin. Shortly afterwards, we were waiting for the people who invited us.

Someone approached our table, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." A man said, I looked up and saw Hino-san looking at me with wide eyes.

I was shocked; I didn't expect that they were the ones who invited us! She looked just as surprised though, but out of habit, I looked away and composed myself.

She definitely did look stunning out of her school uniform, though I would never ever admit that out loud. I liked everything about her, her music, everything.

I liked her, but I was never really sure until she played Ave Maria in the last selection, up until now, I've never really known what concept of 'like' I meant. Right now, I would never admit that I like her truthfully…I 'm not sure yet, and I hope I would never be.

Time passed by, I was spacing out until the food came, I ate in silence. After we all finished eating, my mother halted the Hinos when they were just about to stand up; she said she wanted us to play Ave Maria now. I nearly gaped but I remembered I was in a public place, so I controlled myself.

Out of habit again, I quickly stood up, gently took my violin and headed for the stage. I could feel Hino-san's eyes following me, but she followed after anyway.

When we reached the stage, I saw her hands trembling, she was nervous all right! I wasn't really a man of words but being taught to be a gentleman, "Calm down already." I said, but I saw that her body got rigid but gradually relaxed.

"You're right Tsukimori-kun, I have to calm down." She said, looking at me, smiling.

I pretended not to notice the edge in her voice; instead, I proceeded to place my violin, she did the same gesture and she finally started.

The piece started perfectly, she was relaxed now, I could feel it in her music, I joined in the piece and started to feel the same sensation when we played this piece in Fuyumi-san's villa.

It was gentle and soft, not really how I played. My pieces were usually intense and rigid, something my outside self proclaimed, but when I play this piece with her, I feel like my outer self melts and I become all soft and weak… how I really am inside.

The piece ended, she smiled at me, and "I guess there's no problem with this piece." She said, cheerfully.

I was speechless, people rarely talked to me, "I suppose so." I said.

The customers in the restaurant clapped, we went down the stage and proceeded to meet out parents.

"That was awesome, Kaho!" I heard her sister say.

She blushed and smiled, "It is only because it's the first time you hear me play a duet." She said.

I secretly smiled to myself.

"Len, dear, we're going home now." My mother said. She was smiling and so was my father.

In the car, my father spoke up, "It's really the first time I heard you play like that Len." He said.

"You also played like that after the selection you didn't get to play." My mother said.

My father chuckled, "We should let you play more often with her. Its nice hearing your music soften up." He said.

I didn't know what to say. I never really want to admit that Hino would be able to let my guard down. No one was ever capable of doing that to me, but...

What am I thinking about; I shook my head for a second. My parents looked at me, concern filling their eyes, I tried to reassure them, "I'm fine, don't worry about it." I said.

The concerned look left their eyes and I sighed in relief, what was I going to do now that I get nervous around Hino because of the practice my mother arranged, not that I blame her for it.

'Calm yourself down Len.' I thought, 'Act like you always do and you'll be fine.'

This night was horrible, I couldn't sleep. I kept fidgeting about what her decision will be… will she practice with me, or not?

It was a Saturday tomorrow; I could use a walk to the park.

Kahoko's POV

I was actually kind of excited, I've already decided-with a lot of persuasion- that I'd be going to go practice with Tsukimori-kun.

Why was I feeling excited? Well, I'm not really sure, but I've really admired him because of his talent. I idolize him and now we were going to practice together.

I dozed off to sleep, thinking about what will happen tomorrow, but I was sure that I was going to the park tomorrow since it was a Saturday.
