Chapter 19
Tsukushi's POV
"Yamano I said repeat yourself, not my name," said Tsukasa in a dangerous tone.
I was agape at the scene that laid before me. The girl was scampering while Tsukasa stood menacingly over her. I had to stop this, so I walked up to him…
Tsukasa's POV
I felt a ripple run through my forearm, and then a breeze of lilac blew past me
"Enough…" she whispered in my ear, her face an inch away.
As she took a step back, I looked at her questioningly and she returned it with a smile.
"Lets go Tsukasa." She said as she linked her arm round mine.
For once I turned away. We walk past the rest and headed towards the drive way. She smiled at me mischievously and said, "Bet you've gone rusty."
"Want to bet…"
"Loser owes the winner a favour."
"On," we both say in unison.
…………………………………………
We pulled up in front of the beach not a very tight race there though, she first, the Rui and the boys, and finally me. Sad isn't it.
I remember enjoying being a passenger in rue's car, he would drive at top speed, drifting at every opportunity, never understood what the break was for that boy, and the accelerator was his best friend… and yet through all this he would be able to maintain his composure, not a blink nor a single trace of emotion could be found on his porcelain face.
"You owe me a favour…" she said in a sing-a-song voice."
"Don't worry mate we do too…" said Akira clapping me on the back in mock condolence.
"How can such a demure girl drive like that?" asked Akira in amazement.
"How can such a smooth tongued guy be caught jaw dropped?" she replied sarcastically then moved towards the beach as she took off her heels.
Rui followed his counter-part and slipped her hand in his, she didn't even need to look to see it was him. It was early autumn; the cool sticky air of the beach blew past the silent five.
"A table for two at seven."
"Of course, Ms. Todou."
/On the phone/
"Tsukushi, yes, hi…"
"Shiz, hello"
"I was wondering if you would have dinner with me at The Tavern tonight."
"Sure."
"Seven then."
"We'll chat tonight, I have work to do"
"Sure, bye."
