I kno this is short and I apologize for not updating... ^.^;
I have no ownership over TMM!
We spent a long time shopping. The girls kept on throwing things at me to try on and Kasa would veto them all. She claims that she's the fashion expert since she is a pop star. None of us questioned her judgement.
After hours of shopping I finally had an outfit picked out. Yay.
When I got home I collapsed onto the couch.
"Hey sweetie! How was you day?" mom asked her voice coated in sweetness.
Oh no..... When her voice was COATED in sweetness nothing good every happened to me. Last time she used this voice she made us both take pottery class. She wanted to bond. Let just tell you now.... It was awful.... Clay everywhere. It still makes me shudder to this day.
"It was great!" I told her, "We got this new boy in my class. He's really cute and I asked him out and he said yes."
"Oh sweetie! That's great!" she cried out hugging me.
"Sooo Mom was there something you wanted?"
"Well uh.... Actually I was wondering if you would deliver this basket of strawberry tarts that I made to out new neighbors."
"We have new neighbors?"
"Yeah. So will you?"
She gave me her puppy dog face. How could I resist. If I didn't do it she would mop all night long. I sighed.
"Alright."
She handed me a basket decorated in strawberries, with a strawberry covered fabric covering the container of tarts.
I walked out of the house and headed next door. I rang the door bell and waited.
The door opened and I closed my eyes, putting on a huge smile.
"Hello! I'm Chero Aoyama and I'm here to welcome you to the neighborhood!" I said making my voice super perky like my mother's.
"Chero? Is that you?" a familiar voice asked.
I opened my eyes to see Kai standing there with a confused look on his face.
"Kai? You're my new neighbor?"
"I guess so."
He looked at the basket in my hands.
"If I may ask...What is that?" he said pointing to the basket.
"My mother made you guys some strawberry tarts as a welcome gift... But if I were you I wouldn't eat them. My mother is not the best cook in the world..."
He laughed.
"Thanks for the warning."
I handed him the basket and smiled.
"Well, thanks for the warm welcome. Well I'll see you Saturday."
"Yeah.....Saturday. Bye Kai."
Kai shut the door. I skipped home floating on cloud nine.
When I got home Dad was there. He perked up when he saw me.
"Chero! I heard from you mother that you have a date this Saturday."
"Yes....."
He cleared his throat.
"So, I need to talk to you..... We need to have the talk."
"Is this the "Bird's and the Bee's" talk? Cause Mom already gave that talk to me when I hit puberty. That and the women talk.....I still shudder to this day...."
"No. This is the, "All men are pigs" talk."
I sighed and sat down next to my father waiting for him to get started.
An hour dragged by. My eyes wide.
"How do you know all of this?" I asked.
"I used to be a man!"
"Used to be? What? You're not one any more?"
"I got married."
"Ah...."
Sooo apparently to guys....Their life ends after marriage. That's great.....
"So, are you done?" I asked.
"Yes, but remember! If a guy truly loves you he'll wait for you!"
"Ugh! I know! I know! You don't have to keep telling me that!"
I made sure to hurry out of the room. I found my self wishing for Saturday. Lucky for me it was Thursday. Only one more day.
