Chapter 5- The One Who Found love and The Other that was Left Behind
It was a week from what had happened in the restaurant. Shoji wasn't even trying anymore. Every time he would try, Nana would just some how change the subject, and they never ended up going out.
Nana was going to the convenient store that day. She was just craving some chocolate and decided to get a drink on the way. It was a normal Saturday afternoon. The air became cold and the sky looked like it was about to snow. She went in the store and went to the refrigerator section. It was pretty difficult to pick something you liked, especially since she was more of a chocolate type of person. When she was walking toward the counter, she heard a familiar voice. For some weird reason, Nana felt the need to run. When she arrived, she saw Takumi arguing with the cashier, or that's what she thought. When she walked closer, she realized that he was flirting with her, and the cashier was gratefully letting him. The expression on everyone's face made her realize that they were waiting impatiently. So, she walked up and brought her attitude out.
She clears her throat to try to grab their attention but fails miserably. Takumi didn't even know that it was Nana behind him.
"Hey! You stupid cashier!" She then moves Takumi out of her way and approaches the women behind the counter.
Let's out a smirk and says, "Are you kidding me? This was who you were flirting with and wasting all our times, better yet, wasting your time. This flat chested bitch," then glares at the cashier hard.
"What! Take that back you little smut! I won't give you any service if you don't shut the hell up!" Replied angrily.
"Oh yeah? Try saying that when I bring my father over here. He's the chief of a police investigation group and he can easily get you fired and close down this shop. Besides, you aren't supposed to be flirting! All these people ar……"
Without letting her finish what she had to say, Takumi paid for what he owed and left without a word.
"Uhhhhhh! What the hell is wrong with you!? I know you're a player but damn it, couldn't you find another time for that!"
"What ever. Anyways, you have a pretty bad temper. You should fix that."
With an annoyed look on her face she continues the conversation, "Excuse me? You're one to talk. If I remember correctly, who was the one who broke almost every window in your high school?"
"Huh? How do you know about that?"
"It was a rumor going around school. They had pictures of you in the old school news papers. Weren't you quite the bad boy?"
"Well, I guess. But I didn't think that they would still have pictures of me or talk about me. Wasn't I the popular one?" He sighs, and starts to walk along the sidewalk leading the two of them into the park. Nana ran after him.
"So, what are you doing today?" Nana asks, though she really didn't know why.
"Nothing really. Why? Wanna have sex tonight?"
"Don….don't be stupid! To hell I wanna do that! I'd rather be a virgin forever then lose it with you."
"Oh, come on. I'm not that bad. I'll be happy to say that I have a lot of practice."
"I know." She says as if it was the most obvious thing to say. "I've heard a lot. You're a big time player. The only type of girl that would ever get with you is (1) someone who is lonely and (2) someone who just wants to have sex." She puts her hand on her chin as if pondering a thought, "Then again, I guess you could have someone who's in love with you, but that would be highly unlikely." Takumi was pissed at her statement.
"Oh, yeah? You're not so great either. If you didn't want to have sex with me that night or become my girlfriend, then why'd you pull that stunt? If you're not a slut then don't act like that. It's as simple as that. Hmp…"
Takumi noticed that Nana was feeling a little down. Did I hit a bad point or something? I wonder. While they were walking, not noticing how deep they got into the park, Takumi walks in front of Nana making her stop in her tracks.
"Hey! What's wrong? Did I say something I shouldn't have?" Nana looks down not answering his question which irritated him even more. "Come on, talk! Hey!"
"You're right." A soft silent voice finally starts to speak.
"Huh?"
"You're right about what I do. That's what I always do. I give a boy my phone number, I become close friends, and then, when the big time comes up, I reject them. That's how it's always been. I don't know why but that's how it……" She begins to start crying.
"Well, I guess its okay. Just as long you don't sleep with all of them, right," Following a nervous laugh when scratching the back of his head.
"No! It's not okay! Don't you see? I'm worse! I make them all happy when I talk to them, make them fall in love with me, and then what do I do, I give them the answer that they would never want to hear. You know there's someone else now. He's always trying to ask me out, but I always avoid it. I don't know what I'm supposed to do about him!"
"Try falling in love with him back?"
"No! That's not possible! If that was the fact, then I wouldn't try to avoid him so much. Besides, I'm not the type to fall in love or deserve to get loved back. I'm childish, I always take what people say the wrong way, I'm always crying, and I have a bad temper. I'm the worst kind."
"Ha! Yeah right. Why are you blaming yourself so much?", turns around and begins to walk. "It's their fault for always wanting you so badly and this one too. I mean, if you keep blowing him off then he must know that you don't give a damn about him, right?"
"Uh, but I do care but not in that way."
"You can't help it if you don't love them back. What are you supposed to do? Say yes and then brake up with them? You were just being friendly. If you asked me, I would think that these guys are stupid to get so worked up about one girl. If it's not meant to be then give up on it." He puts a cigar in his mouth and starts to smoke. "Stop crying about nothing and let's go! We'll just hang out for a bit. Don't worry; I won't do anything unless you want me too?" Let's out a smirk.
Nana runs to catch up to him and says, "No!" Then stops walking and looks back at Takumi. "But thanks. I feel a lot better." She then lets out a gentle smile. They both begin to start walking. Suddenly it begins to start snowing.
"Huh?" says Takumi.
Nana lets out her arms and starts spinning around in joy. "It's snowing, yaaaaaay! Hehehe."
Takumi then puts his arm around her shoulder and says, "You'll catch a cold let me warm you up."
"Huh? Heh." She let's out a smile. Nana felt like she had a weight lifted off her shoulders. Talking to Takumi really helped her. The more they hung out that day the more she started to think. Why am I so happy for? He's just another guy. I mean, when I talked to Junko about this I didn't feel this much better. Maybe it's just his careless attitude. I don't know but I want to talk to him more.
Shoji was feeling down. The broken hearted knight didn't know what to do to get her beloved in love with him. All he could do was think and wait for something to happen. He was sitting in a coffee shop, while watching the snow fall down. He then clutches his grip on the coffee mug even tighter. He was able to feel the heat flow through his hands. What do I do? I love her, but is she worth for me to wait for her? All I could do right now is being there for her when she needs me, but how can I do that when she doesn't even let me do that.
Oh, poor Shoji. So, so sad. I don't know if Nana falling in love with Takumi is bad, but its better then her getting cheated on with that ass, right? Or is it? LOL. I wonder. DOES NANA FALL IN LOVE WITH TAKUMI AND LOSE HER VIRGINITY WITH HIM? DOES SHOJI FINALLY CONFESS OR MOVES ON? WHAT WILL HAPPEN? You'll just have to keep on reading to find out. Next time on "The bond between love and friendship"
