Will You Be a Lucky Bride
Rangiku sighed and printed out her results. This was the last of the work for Gin. She'd gotten his statistics all sorted out, and now she no longer had them as an excuse. If she was reading her friend correctly, she wouldn't actually need an excuse to get together with him from now on, but Rangiku didn't know that for sure, and she was just a little bit uncertain about where she stood with the man.
He hadn't actually ever really asked her out after all. Most of the times he'd taken her out to eat recently, he had started out asking about the work she was doing for him. They hadn't stayed on that topic for long, but it was still there. Gin had never actually said he was interested in her romantically. She really needed to get him to clarify where he stood on the subject. She grabbed her jacket while the pages printed and started hunting for her shoes. Speaking of Gin, she was supposed to be meeting him at her local coffee ship in ten minutes. She had actually been planning on leaving earlier, but she had gotten distracted by an article in the new math journal that had just arrived in the mail today.
With the statistics tucked safely into her purse, Rangiku sped out the door. She should have just enough time to get there without being late. In her haste, Rangiku actually manage to get there with several minutes to spare. Not seeing Gin there, she took the time to get herself coffee. She was waiting for her cappuccino when a pair of arms slipped around her waist, and Gin rest his chin on her shoulder.
"What are you getting this time, Ran-chan?"
Her ever changing choice of coffee was a running joke with him. Rangiku laughed.
"A caramel, hazelnut cappuccino. I have your stats for you."
"Thanks, love."
They found a pair of chairs in a quiet corner, and Rangiku turned the statistics over to Gin. He tucked them into a folder before reaching for her hand again.
"Ne, Ran-chan, are you busy this weekend?"
She frowned slightly. "I'll have papers to grade, but other than that, no. Why?"
Gin played with her fingers. "I wanted to see if you were interested in dinner and movie."
