Author's Note: it seems I had been hit with a huge wave of writer's block… =.=
So I'm sorry to all my fans it's taken me this long to get back with some stories… :S
OOOOOOOO
The lead waiter was eyeing the table of 4 that had settled in a corner of the restaurant.
I wonder if those four still recognize me… after all this time, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't…
Kahoko was over the moon that somehow she could meet with Nami-san and Tsuchiura-kun again after so long. She hadn't even had time to meet with anyone from back at Seisou; she was that unorganized!
This is a huge chance for me to catch up with them… especially Nami-san!
She quickly finished eating her dish; and realised that she still had room in her stomach.
Sweet things always have a room in my stomach!
She looked to Nami-san.
"Nami-san, any desserts for you?"
Nami nodded; of course she would have some dessert.
"Of course, Hino-san"
"You can call me Kahoko, you know" – she smiled at Nami to indicate it was okay.
Nami smiled back.
"Sure, Kahoko-san"
The two guys blinked; paused from their steaks; and looked up at the girls chatting away.
Ryoutarou had one of his eyebrows raised; and Len noticed immediately. He replied back with a mixed smile.
"I'll take a bit of dessert as well, Kaho…"
Len saw her look to him and nod.
"Me too, Nami. Pick the dessert you want, and I'll share with you."
Nami blushed slightly, before quickly turning and calling a waiter over.
"Can I have the dessert menu?"
"Certainly, madam"
The lead waiter called the waiter that had just returned from the table.
"I'll handle them; you go and bring this out to table 21"
The other waiter nodded.
"Here's the dessert menu you asked for."
Wait, isn't the waiter a bit different…?
Kahoko looked up… and gaped.
"You're… you're…"
"Ehhh? Aoi-san?"
Kahoko blinked… and realised Nami-san was right. It was Kaji-san!
"Kaji-san, what are you doing here…"
"I'm just a humble lead waiter for today… I'm learning how to run the business, you see"
The two boyfriends' eyes narrowed as they realised who was in front of their girlfriends.
"Waiter, I think we'll have a look at the menu for now and get back to you later."
"Certainly – please let me know when you are ready to order"
They noted Kaji blink at them, before heading off.
The two girls turned towards the two guys.
"We should've properly caught up with Kaji-san!"
"Yeah, I'm sure he's got heaps of stories about stars going to this restaurant!"
The two guys looked at each other and simultaneously sighed.
"You two are both completely blind. That guy is probably trying to steal you two away from under our noses. We're not happy with that, you see…"
The table was in silence.
Nami was the first one to respond to that, by laughing.
"Pfft… ahaha… ahahaha! That's cute, Ryou, but really. Am I someone who can be lured away that easily?"
Ryou knew that he should probably keep his emotions shut here.
Of course you can be easily swept away when you find a story. If he says that he has all sorts of stories you'll waltz off and I'll never see you again, you dope.
"Ehh? Really, Len?"
Kahoko kept staring at Len until he had to look at her. He quickly looked away though.
"Yeah… I am… worried."
Kahoko blinked, and felt a blush coming on her cheeks.
Len's worried… he's worried that I'll go away from him! I… I'm so happy he's worried about me…
She smiled at him, but couldn't find the words to say.
In the end, they didn't feel like ordering dessert. The four stood up from the table and headed towards the counter, and paid off the bill.
When they were finally outside, Len was the first to say something.
"It's been good… seeing you two again."
Ryou smiled back, and wrapped his arm around Nami's shoulder.
"Yeah, you and Kaho, too. You two should probably head back – you'll have to stay the night otherwise"
"That's true… come on, Kaho, we need to catch a train back."
Kahoko blinked.
"Ahh… okay, Len… umm… hopefully, we'll be able to catch up soon again, Tsuchiura-kun, Nami-san"
Nami smiled.
"I'm sure we will, Kahoko-san"
The two violinists headed off towards the train station.
The walk back to the train station was in silence.
Len was embarrassed that he had showed a bit of his jealously that publicly.
Thankfully, I didn't continue the sentence and say what I was going to say next…
Kahoko was contemplating how to ask Len more about why he was worried for her; she wondered what he would say next.
Both of them were more than pre-occupied with their thought that they didn't realise they had already reached the train station.
Len blinked back into consciousness.
"Ehh… we're… there's only 5 minutes left to board the last train back! Come on, Kaho!"
Kahoko blinked, and soon enough realised she was being dragged along by Len who was running to catch the train.
Are we… going to make it to the train in time?
