Sunday ended quickly and Monday came even quicker. Even though Sunday was filled with all sorts of gossip on Zach and I, but I threated Amu, Yaya and Utau with their lives if they told anyone. Amu and Yaya both swore up and down that they wouldn't tell anyone, but the look in Utau's purple eyes told me that she would break her promise as soon as she saw Kukai.

For the apology lunch with Zach, which was at precisely noon at some restaurant in downtown, I wore something subtle: a pale orange sun dress that went just above my knees with a pair of brown flats and my hair in a low braid.

I was all ready to go at nine in the morning, but since the lunch didn't start until a time that was reserved for lunch, I had several hours to waste. I spent most of it catching up on the reading that I meant to do on the plane. I flipped through the manga books and the magazines quickly; it almost felt like no time had passed at all.

I couldn't even pass time by bothering Nagihiko. He left before I woke up leaving a note that just said went out for a bit.

The rest of my time wasting was spent watching TV and thinking about where Nagihiko could've gone.

"He probably went out to see that girl." I huffed, but had no right to speak. I was going out to a not-date apology lunch with Zach. What does he see in her? I asked myself but couldn't find the answer. Avery was pretty and that was about it. In Nagihiko's eyes she was probably drop dead gorgeous and funny and smart and everything that I wasn't.

Noon finally finally rolled around and I pulled myself off the loveseat, turned off the TV, and headed to the lobby to go to lunch.

Zach had a car, even though I said we could use the limo that Utau allowed us to use. Downtown Orlando was busy as heck, there was bumper to bumper traffic and every single parking place was taken up. We eventually found a spot at the very top of a parking garage that was six block from where we were eating lunch.

"It's hot," I breathed, fanning myself to rid of the ebbing heat. We weren't even halfway to the restaurant yet and I felt like I was going to melt.

"Yeah," Zach agreed, then laughed. "Wait… aren't you supposed to be used to the heat? You said Japan was just like Florida."

I pressed my lips, forgetting completely that I had told him that. "I know, it is. And I never said I was used to the heat, I'd rather be in snow than in sun." I remarked.

"Is it ironic that you were in the sun when you told me those wonderful facts about Japan." Zach pointed out and I pressed my lips together in aggravation. For a second, he was kind of acting like Nagihiko. The kind of personality that likes to mess with me in a funny sarcastic way. The kind of personality that I loved.

"Oh, whatever." I laughed as we finally made it to the restaurant. Zach explained that it was one of those hole in the wall places that was really good. I couldn't deny that it was indeed a hole in the wall. It was a narrow building that was smashed together between two larger buildings.

But he was right, the food was fantastic. The food at the hotel was cardboard in compare to the delicious things that I had.

"How long are you staying in Orlando?" Zach asked as I took a sip of soda.

It took me a second to work out the dates and time of arrival and stuff like that. "I think we leave next Thursday." I estimated.

"That means I only have a little more than a week to hang out with you." Zach said and suddenly had a saddened expression on his face. I felt heat rise to my cheeks. He doesn't feel that way about me? My mind buzzed with the question. I didn't feel that way towards him… or did I?

"Thanks for the not-date apology lunch Rima, you didn't have to do that, but it was nice to spend some time with you." Zach said sweetly as we arrive back at the hotel.

"You're welcome," I said then waved him goodbye as I got in the elevator and headed toward my floor. I leaned back on the polished walls of the elevator and thought about what happened. My heart was wavering between two boys, and I think I was leaning more on the side that wasn't familiar.

So as an apology for not updating when I said, you guys get an extra chapter! Yay!

Review please!
