I woke up that Sunday morning surprisingly refreshed, despite the awkward air on Saturday and the even more awkward things that happened Friday. I was anticipating the apology lunch I agreed to have with Zach on Monday, but I had a day to waste before that. I apologized several times but I felt it was necessary to go the extra length to make sure he knew I was truly sorry for what had happened. But we both agreed that it was not a date.

Just a simple apology lunch.

I pulled myself from the knot of comforter I was in, careful not to wake sleeping beauty. Before I got dressed, I grabbed my phone and texted Amu, Utau, and Yaya, telling them to meet me in the lobby in twenty minutes. I slipped into something casual then headed downstairs for some breakfast and to wait for everyone else.

Through all of the insane noise I was making, I still had not managed to wake Nagihiko.

"He really is a heavy sleeper," I said to myself as I pushed the button to open the elevator.

It was twenty minutes after I ate breakfast that my friends finally showed up.

"Hey Rima," Amu yawned as she walked out of the elevator, followed by Yaya and Utau who both looked too tired for words. "Why'd you want us down here so early?" she asked.

"I don't know." I said without thinking. I hadn't really thought through about what I wanted to do, I just knew that I needed some time with my girlfriends. "How about we go shopping?" I suggested absentmindedly and everyone nodded in agreement.

"I've been meaning to buy a few things," Amu shrugged then we headed out of the hotel to our limo. The journey to the shopping district was short, especially since we were already in the center of Orlando. The drive gave us a small chance to see other things in Orlando other than Universal, like parts of Seaworld, some place that had monster trucks and all other kinds of buildings.

The limo finally made a slow stop at the mall. We got out and stared at the building in awe. I could already feel my wallet burning a hole in my pocket. I wasn't much a shopaholic to begin with, but I shivered at the sight of Michael Kors, Gucci, Chanel, and Coach. It was all I could to not go running off and spend every penny I owned.

Most of our time at the mall was spent in silence, perusing sunglasses, fawning over shoes and fainting over purses and when the time was right we snapped out of our trances and spoke to one another.

"This is amazing," Yaya gasped as she walked past another rack of clothes that appealed to her cute style.

"Isn't it," Utau spoke, almost sounding like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. As someone who was famous, it was almost expected of her to wear designer, but now she was at the source of fashion. I could tell it was a bit overwhelming for her, especially since Utau got most of her things from her manager who shopped for her.

I had just passed another rack of skirts when my stomach grumbled. I glanced at the skirts then at my stomach. I decided that my hunger was more important than a cute piece of designer fabric. "I kind of hungry," I said, getting the attention of the others. "Let's go get something to eat." Everyone nodded and we headed to the food court.

There weren't any familiar fast food chains in the food court so we settled on something called Chick-Fil-A. It wasn't anything to write home about, but they had killer milkshakes.

"So Rima," Utau began as she took another sip of her tea. "How are things with you and you-know-who?" she interrogated and I felt my face turn hot.

"Fine." I said bluntly through my straw. Things weren't necessarily fine between us and quite frankly I wasn't concerned with anything he was up to. It was none of my business knowing what he did in his free time or how he felt about me.

"You sure?" Yaya raised an eyebrow at me. "I can almost feel the awkward between you two."

"Yeah," Amu agreed. "You've been acting weird lately, does is have to do something with that guy you were talking to at the pool the other day?" I was surprised that Amu was so observant.

"Oh," I started, making sure that I had to word my statement carefully; otherwise it would've been used against me. "That guy, he was just some annoying freak who wanted to know about Japan." I lied and rolled my eyes.

"Liar," Utau said as she narrowed her eyes at me. "I saw you guys at my concert Friday night, clearly he's more than just a freak if you were making conversation with him."

"Well, whatever, so I talked with him. Is that really a crime? There's nothing going on between us. He's just some random dude I met at the pool. Nothing more." I explained, doing my best to clarify things.

"You know, that look on your face says otherwise." Yaya pointed out, causing my cheeks to flush red.

"There's nothing going on between us, there's nothing going on between me and anyone!" I shouted, hoping that I would get through to my friends. Something was ringing in the back of my mind though, something having to do with an apology lunch. It almost made me rethink the "nothing going on between us" thing.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes…" I hesitated. "Well…"

"Well what?"

"I may have… done something."

"Something?" Amu asked, looking confused.

"Yeah," I said, forcing the words to spew out of my mouth. "I kind of… kissed him."

They collectively gasped and had shocked looks on their faces.

"I thought you said he was just some random dude." Yaya blurted in disbelief.

"He was, or is, or I don't know!" I yelled. My mind was whirring and buzzing with thoughts on the subject. Was Zach still just a random dude? Or was he more than that? I couldn't decide.

So as it turns out… I was really sick and did not have the energy to get on the computer in the last few days. But as promised, here is the update.
