Chapter 7: Dating Game
Today is... What day is it today? Oh yeah... The 14th of February, the day that Yuuki-sama, Kaname-sama, Yori-chan and I agreed to a 'dinner date'. Uh uh uh! Tut tut, little kiddies. You're all getting the wrong impression. Me and Yori-chan are not together-together. We're just going as boss-employee, okay? But of course, the reason why it is called a dinner date is because...
*My Flashback-Which-Is-Being-Creepily-Watched-By-My-Fans
The handsome and sexy me: Hello?-static- Hello? -more static- Hello?! - and even more static- Look you a-hole, if you're messing with me, you got the wrong person to m-
Yuuki-sama's voice from the other end: Who are you calling an a-hole, Aidou-kun?
Me: -Uh-oh... I'm dead...- Y-Yuuki-sama! I-I d-didn't realize t-that y-you're on the other end... -I'm currently drenched in sweat right now-
Yuuki-sama: What do you mean you didn't realize that I'm on the other end of the line? I've been talking here for the past 3 minutes.
Me: -wipes sweat- I think I've got a low reception over here, Yuuki-sama... I'll just-
Yuuki-sama: What do you mean low reception? I can hear you clearly. And it's impossible for me to have a low reception. My signal's beyond what my phone can handle.
Me: -I'm kinda panicky right now- Uhm... Ah.. I think it's the... The... uhm... the... the Network! Yes, that must be it. The network is being a... ah...-
Yuuki-sama: -bountiful of laughter coming from Yuuki-sama- Relax -laugh- Aidou- laugh- I'm -laugh- just -laugh- messing -laugh- with -laugh- you -laugh-
Me: -inside my wonderful head- Is this her revenge for me dumping her for Rima?
Yuuki-sama: Oh the joy! You should have heard your voice! It was trembling! 'Y-Yuuki-sama! I-I d-didn't realize t-that y-you're on the other end...'! -another round of laughter-
Another voice - Kaname-sama: Ignore Yuuki, Aidou. Just listen to me. It's very important for you to hear this. I... I...
Me: You're what, Kaname-sama?
Kaname-sama: I'm in deep need of your help.
Me: What can I do for you, Kaname-sama? -Yuuki-sama's laughter seems never-ending in the background.
Kaname-sama: You see, me and Yuuki went to a fortune teller last weekend. And she said that something bad will happen on the 14th of February if I take Yuuki out to dinner alone... -sharp breath- Yuuki laughed out loud about this because -imitating Yuuki-sama's voice-"It's all nonsense, Onii-sama. Do you actually believe a fortune teller?" Of course, I believed her when she said that it's not true. And then, she fell in an open manhole. That part was also foretold by the fortune teller. And since that part came true, I'm afraid the other one will come true. That's why I'm asking you to go with us this Friday.
Me: Sure thing, Kaname-sama. Is that all?
Kaname-sama: Bring Yori-chan with you. The fortune teller said that if you don't have Yori-chan with you, we will all suffer bad luck.
Me: -To myself actually... But I guess Kaname-sama heard it- Odd... How did the fortune teller knew about Yori and me?
Kaname-sama: I really don't know... But -Yuuki-sama is still bountifully laughing- I need to get going. Yuuki's having a serious laughing fit right now. I need to bring her to the psychiatrist and the paramedics. Perhaps I shall also bring her to those people who exorcise evil spirits. I would be expecting you and Yori-chan at the restaurant by the lake at 8PM on the 14th. Be sure to wear clothes... Naturally. -Yuuki-sama's still laughing. Who knew she can laugh for so long...!- I need to be going now to bring Yuuki to a... specialist... You know, to see if her screws are still screwed in the right places.
Me: Uhm... Okay. Good luck with that, Kaname-sama.
Kaname-sama: -chuckle- Thank you, Aidou. You don't know how much this means to me.
Me: No problem, Kaname-sama. It is my pleasure to help you after all.
Kaname-sama: I know. -Another round of Yuuki-sama's boisterous laughter- I really have to go. See you and Yori-chan on Friday.
Me: Friday it is. - Dead on the other end-
*End of my Flashback
Now you know why? I'm just doing Kaname-sama a favor, okay? Sheesh. you guys are so ahead of yourselves.
Anyway, it's currently... 6:30 PM. I'm currently making one of the hardest decisions in my life : Picking out the right clothes.
I know you're all probably laughing. Hanabusa Aidou, the hottest vampire ever to exist, is having a hard time picking out clothes from his uberly gigantic closet. Hah. Hilarious.
Anyway, back on the subject matter.
What I'm currently holding right now, dear people-inside-my-head, is a- A dress?!!! Where did it come from?! I mean, c'mon! I'm a man! I'm not supposed to own a dress! Ugh!!
Shoving the material away now people... No need to imitate Yuuki-sama with her boisterous laughter.
...
Haha... Hilarious. Now stop laughing. I had already chosen the article of clothing that I'm going to wear for tonight.
It's a black polo shirt, black tux, black pants, black leather shoes and a blue tie. I... err... actually don't know what to wear for the 'group dinner date'... But, I think I'll survive... Right?... Right?!... Ugh... Fine! Don't answer me! If I will look like an idiot beside Kaname-sama later tonight, I will blame you all!
Ugh... Screw this. I'm going to take a bath... What?! You want to come?! Oh please... Really?! Oh, for crying out loud! I want to have my space, okay?! Okay.
Now, if you all would excuse me, I'm off to take a bath.
X-X-X-X-X
Howdy pardners! Just hopin' you have awl made yourselves comfy here... Hehe... Sorry... I guess I've been watching way too many cowboy-themed films these days.
Anyway, how do you guys like my outfit? You like it? Of course you'd all like it. I'm Hanabusa Aidou for crying out loud. On a much more different topic, what time is it? 7:30 PM. Thank you, Guess, for making this wonderful watch.
I guess I should be phoning Yori-chan right now, see if she's already ready for our 'date'. Again, you are all assuming the wrong thing. I'm just checking to see if she's ready so I will know if I should pick her up already.
Let's see... Where's her number?... Uh... Aha! Here it is. I guess I should just put her on my speed dial list...
Ring. Ring. Ri-
"Hello?" came in Yori-chan's voice from the other end.
"Uhm, hey Yori-chan. Are you already done fixing yourself for tonight?" I asked her. I have to admit it, but it's kinda awkward... Because... Yori-chan and I are not... together-together... So... Yeah... Forget that I said anything.
"Actually, not yet..." I can hear the strain in her voice. "But I'll be done in a few... I guess you can come here already... If it's okay with you..."
"Of course it's okay with me... I mean, I did volunteer to take you with me so... yeah..." I said, shrugging every now and then.
"Thank you so much for doing this for me, Aidou-san. I mean, I really don't want to ride the bus to get there... So... Thank you..." she said. Hah! Told you she's a fan of mine! Can't you guys see the hint? It's there! She doesn't want to ride the bus so that she could ride with me and be alone with me. I can't believe you guys never thought of this.
"No problem... Oh, one more thing. Can I ask you a favor?" I asked. Since we're all going to a date-
"Uhm... Sure... I guess..." she replied, the strain still obvious in her voice.
"Could you pretend to be my girlfriend just for tonight? I mean, we're going on a date... And it's February 14... So... Yeah..." -I might as well pretend that I have a girlfriend. Surely, everybody who will see me with Yori will never try to make that much of a fuss over me... Oh good Lord, what ever came to me to ask her of this?
A sharp breath from the other end. "I don't know..."
"You don't have to if you don't want to!" I said, quickly taking back the favor that I just asked of her. Stupid me for not considering a girl's feelings. I know, I know. I may be a 'playboy' but I have my gentlemanly sides as well... And I don't even know that I have this other side in me called "Being Stupid".
"Hmm... It's just a... 'pretend boyfriend-girlfriend' thing right?" she asked cautiously.
"Of course... But if you don't want to, it's... It's okay with me." I said. I don't even know what force of Mother Nature came to me when I asked her that.
Another sharp breath. "Okay... As long as there is no ill intention, then... Okay."
What? She agreed? Well, screw this. I don't even know what's happening now.
"Don't worry. No ill intentions behind the act... It's just for the sake of Valentine's..." But it seems like my lips and my tongue have minds of their own.
"Okay... I'm trusting you on that, Aid-"
"Since we're going on a 'pretend girlfriend-boyfriend' mission, you might as well call me Hanabusa while I call you Yori... Is that okay with you?" I said, cutting her off. If this is the case then, Lord, guide me with whatever it is that I'm getting myself involved with.
"Uhm... Okay... I guess..." She said. I guess all I have to do is play along with what is going to happen.
"Okay... Well then, Yori, I'll be there in a few." I said, being casual with her. No boss-employee tonight. Just pretend 'boyfriend-girlfriend'.
"Okay, ... Hanabusa. I'll see you in a few. Bye." She said.
"Bye." -And then she hung up and so did I.
Okay, Cupid. Just because it's Valentine's Day doesn't mean you can mess with me. Now, if you excuse me, I have to pick my 'girlfriend' up for our date with Kaname-sama and Yuuki-sama.
Ugh... I guess I'll have to be more gentlemanly than before even though it's just a 'pretend relationship'.Ugh... Forget it...
Where're my car keys? Oh, here... And where's my wallet? Oh.. Here... How about my house keys? Wow. Things seem to magically appear out of nowhere tonight. I wonder if I say 'I want a hundred dollar bill' would it appear? Hmm... Guess not... Anyway, I'm off then suckas! I don't want to be late.
Author's Rambling Area: So... Was it good? Or otherwise? Review, people, so I would know... ^_^
Mitsuki-chi: I'm really sorry about not telling you about prom *which is already a month old by the way*. So I'll be telling it to you here. It';s just a simple and nice story, really. After the prom, he apologized for not taking my hand for a dance, hugged me, gave me a kiss on the head and said 'I love you'... In a freinly manner, of course. ^_^. I know the person he's courting and I have no intentions of hating hte girl because the girl is a sort of friend of mine. Doesn't hurt one bit because it's just a crush. ^_^
Wow... I never knew I could be so bold to post that... But, i'm sorry everyone who PMed me... I guess I lack time to PM you all... But, hence, summer vacation here is quite near so expect updates and PMs from me.
To the 3 Aidou-stalkers, if you could read this, reply if you want to refuse being Aidou's stalkers. ^_^
