Ean: I promise better music!
Alexenne: Sweet Thing by Keith Urban is okay. Not that you own it or anything...
Nexa: Another RimaHiko?
Ean: I like RimaHiko! And i was hurried, I'm at my grammy's house.
Alexenne: Then why did you update?
Ean: Because I love you all!
Nexa: And because you're trying to prove something by updating one of your stories everyday.
ean:.. Read on,
We've both been waiting for this day forever. Who would have ever thought that we would come from our first date to this? I still remember how shocked I was at Rima's behavior.
Flashback
I had driven up to her house in Kukai's truck. I had borrowed it because no matter how rich we were, my mom was against cars. That whacked up hippy.
I almost didn't knock. My hand was hovering in the air when I saw some curtains move. Soon afterward, the door was opened by a hurried Rima. She said a brief good bye to her parents and then pulled me away from their inquisitive gazes.
Always the gentleman, I opened the door for her and helped her up. Regrettably, I did it in a way so as not to make her summer dress slide up her thigh. Always the gentleman.
Instead of staying on the passenger side of the bench seat, she slid under the wheel and held her hand out for the keys. I started wondering what I had gotten myself into.
"You alright, Dude?" Kukai asked me as I adjusted my tie.
I gave him a smile. "I'm just nervous."
He returned a sly grin to me. "Trust me," he said, "you've done stupider things."
Flashback
Stupidly, I had taken an interest in Rima after that night. My mom was so strict with dance practice that I could only see her at night. Mostly, I would sit in the branches of the cotton wood tree that spread from my yard to hers. I would stare at the dark window and hope to get her attention.
Of course, now I realize how stalker-ish this was, but back then I was desperately in love. Or lust. I really just wanted to figure this girl out.
She finally noticed me one night. Instead of freaking out like most girls, she started talking to me.
"Why are you sitting there?" She asked, leaning out her window. I don't think she realized how showy her nightgown was. On second thought, maybe she had been teasing me from the beginning.
I shrugged. "I was bored."
"How is this anymore entertaining?"
"I get to talk to you."
"Not for long. I'm tired." She said this, but gave no indication of leaving.
"You should come down here."
"Why?"
I smiled. "So you can keep me company."
"I can do that from where I am now."
"But not in the way I want you too." I raised my eyebrow.
She responded by throwing her hairbrush at me. "Pervert!"
Looking back, I wonder how her parents never heard us. A similar exchange happened most night, and all would end with her coming outside a sitting with me on the porch swing. Eventually, it became common for us to start making out while sitting there.
"Sixteen year old boys aren't known for being the smartest people." I told Kukai.
"Places in five minutes, okay?" Tadase told us from the doorway.
Ikuto came and joined us, all dressed up. I could tell the tie was killing him and was thankful for my friends.
"Remember that one butler, Joe something?" Ikuto asked. "Didn't he try to kill you?"
"Jake." I replied with a grin. "And I kind of deserved it."
Flashback
Rima and I had been going out for a while now. I had just gotten back from a huge dance contest in China. I knew I would see Rima tomorrow at school, but I really wanted to see her now.
The only car in our garage was the new butler's, Jake. He loved his Mustang, but I loved Rima more.
I silently backed out of the driveway. My driving skills weren't the best, but neither were my reasoning skills.
Of course, tonight had to be the night that I got into my only car crash. The front fender was totaled and the front right tire was flat. The tree was fine though.
Nevertheless, I continued onto Rima's house. She yelled at me and called me stupid, but I was happy that I had come. I gave her a big hug.
"If I die tonight, remember that I love you."
She gave me a playful hit on the arm. "If you die tonight, I get to be single again."
I sighed. "Is it a crime that I love you?"
"No." She responded. "But thievery is a crime and you stole my heart."
I left her, satisfied.
Jake; not so much.
"Let's go!" All my friends stayed in the room as I took my place on the raised platform. I experienced something that I was not a stranger to; stage fright.
Flashback
"Look, A shooting star!" Rima pointed at the sky, a childish expression on her face.
She closed her eyes and whispered under her breath.
"What did you wish for?" I asked her. She peeked at me from one eye.
"What did you wish for?" She retorted. I smirked and kissed her passionately.
"That."
A familiar tune started playing and Rima walked towards me. Her cream colored dress brushed the floor. Her pink roses and stalks of lavender scented the air around her. Was I dreaming?
I've had dreams like this. Some call me girly and this was probably the most girly thing about me. I fantasize about my wedding, and for the past ten years, they have starred Rima as the bride.
"Do you, Nagihiko Fujisaki, take Rima Mashiro to be your lawfully wedded wife, for better or for worse, in sickness or in health?" The priest asked.
"I do."
"Do you, Rima Mashiro, take Nagihiko Fujisaki, to be your lawfully wedded husband, for better or for worse, in sickness or in health?"
"…" There was a brief pause and I started to panic. "Of course I do." Rima finally responded, rolling her eyes.
"You may now kiss the bride."
I did just that.
When I picked you up for our first date baby, your pretty blue eyes were driving me crazy and the tiny little thought that was so amazing was that they were looking at me. I held open the car door for you and you climbed inside and slid on over to the other side. I thought my, oh my.
Sweet thing, the moon is high and the night is young so come on and meet me in the backyard under the cotton wood tree. It's a good thing. Am I wishing? Oh come on sweet thing. Won't you climb on out of your window while the world is sleeping? You know I need you and there's no way I am leaving until we're kissing on the porch swing. Oh, my little sweet thing.
Yeah, I'm going to come see you first thing tomorrow but I just couldn't wait so I had to borrow Jake's Mustang, it's his favorite car so I can't stay long. Standing here feeling like a love struck fawn, but all I want to do is hold you close one more time. Is that such a crime?
