A/N:

Part 4 and last of the 4 part mini series. I do apologize if the main characters are a little OOC.

I'm escalating the development of our characters' relationship slowly, so I hope you watch out for the future chapters.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but my ramblings here.

Exam Week: A Promise of Dinner [Part 4/4]

"Izumi!"

I stopped talking to a couple of my classmates outside my Graphics class and turned to where the direction of the voice was coming from.

From the open hallway , I can see Kyoko Hori waving frantically at me.

Is something wrong? Concerned, I knotted my brow, and gave a hasty goodbye to my classmates.

I tilted my head, trying to decipher her expression. She looked slightly disheveled and shell-shock. The ponytail she did on her hair has become a little loose. And she was wearing a black shirt and jeans.

Kyoko rarely wears jeans and t-shirt to class. She must have been so nervous about her upcoming exam that she barely paid attention to what she wore today.

I strode towards her, picking up my pace.

Impatient, she frowned and crossed her arms over her chest, willing me to hurry up.

I was barely ten paces away from her when she blurted out, "I did it! I finally did well in Sociology and History! I can't believe it!"

Instantly, my concern melted away. My pace double in speed. Instinctively, I reached out for her, and she rushed towards me.

Before I knew it, my hands caught her waist and I was hauling her up, spinning her around 360 degrees until we were both dizzy with elation. The background around us faded away, and all I could see was her tired, sleep-deprived face. And to me, she never looked even more beautiful than now. I like it when she's in this determined state.

She giggled with exuberance. "I did it, Izumi!" she repeated. "I really think I aced that test!"

"That's my girl!" I said, feeling really happy. Kyoko Hori in my arms feels so good, I don't want to let her go. She fits just right for me, just perfect for my physique.

The students walking all about the campus paid no attention to the noise we were making.

"Uh.. You can put me down now." She realized I was really holding her close, her face turning slightly pink with embarrassment.

"Ooops." I muttered, a little embarrassed myself. Reluctant, I lowered her down. She slid down the length of my body that I can feel all her soft womanly curves melting against me. I wished it lasted a second longer. I felt a tug in my heart.

We let go just as quickly as we came together. And for a moment, we stood there in awkward silence, staring at each other, wondering why we did such a thing.

And then as if on a cue, we burst out laughing.

I shook my head. Oh, Kyoko, I am falling for you even more day by day. I wish I could confess to her now. I really, really want to tell how much I love her.

I opened my mouth, unable to stop the spontaneity bubbling out from me when she interrupted what I was about to say.

"Let's go have dinner this Friday. My treat." She said in a rush.

I raised my eyebrows in surprise. Is she asking me out for a date? I stared at her face, dumbfounded. Kyoko is definitely blushing.

"Of course." I answered quickly before she changed her mind. "Sure. This Friday. Okay."

A/N: OOhh.. a Date! Let me know what you think.
