Noticing a Heart

'I think I barfed a bit in my mouth when you talked to me.'

ドキドキ

After the whole fiasco with Kise, Tsumi finally calmed down and resumed her daily routine. School had ended and she was at the bookstore working, glancing up when she heard the bell on the door ring.

"Welcome to Itako's Bookstore-" she felt shivers crawl up her spine. I-it's Kise!

Kise looked around before his eyes landed on Tsumi, "Ah-! It's you." He smiled as he casually walked up to the counter.

"H-how may I help you?" Gosh I sound so lame… Kise hummed and gave her a charming grin. Were those stars shining from his teeth? Tsumi blinked, telling herself that she was hallucinating.

"I've been wanting to read a good book, you got any?" Tsumi nodded stiffly and slowly walked around the counter to show him the books. After about thirty minutes he finally picked a book that she recommended and placed it on the counter for him to check out.

"Hey, you wouldn't happen to be the girl who got hit with a basketball a few days ago would you?"

Tsumi flushed and nodded, placing the book into a bag. Kise sighed, "Sorry about that again." she shook her head, "I-its fine…"

"Oh! How about I make it up to you? Treat you to some ice cream?"

"E-eh?"

"Alright!" He took the bag from you and grinned, "See you after school tomorrow then!" he turned to leave and glanced over his shoulder giving her a playful wink, "Don't be late~" the sound of the door opening and closing brought Tsumi back to reality.

"W-what just happened?!"

-Extended Ending-

Her manager came out from the back room with boxes of books in his hand, "Tsumi, did that customer pay?"

Blinking she realized that Kise didn't pay for the book he had bought, "A-ah! I'm so sorry Nakajima-san! I'll pay for the book!" she was too distracted by him asking her out she didn't notice that he didn't pay. He gave Tsumi an exasperated look and nodded before walking down an aisle. She heard him mutter something about 'crazy love-struck school girls.'

Pulling her wallet from her pocket she placed the right amount of money into the register pouting slightly, I bet he did that on purpose…

Happy New year to all! I hope you enjoyed this chapter!

There is also a poll on my profile for who should be next for a KnB story! I dunno if I will make it short or make it a long story... I guess who it depends on and what kind of ideas I have for them~

I will close the poll on January 31st, so feel free to vote and stuff xD

If they come up in a tie (or no one votes) I will random pick one xD
