Chapter 17: Lunch With Yori

"So, Yori-chan, what would you like to eat for lunch?" I asked casually while keeping my eyes on the road.

"Anything would be fine, thank you." She said. What kind of an answer is that?

"Yori-chan, there is no such food as 'anything would be fine'. What do you want to eat? Don't worry. It's on me. And I'm going to deduct that in your paycheck." I said. What?! I can be generous too, you know! I can be like Akatsuki too!!!

"Uhm... Pasta... I actually feel like eating pasta." She said sheepishly. Good that we both feel eating the same thing.

Why did you even asked her, you dimwit? What?! Who said that?! I'm your conscience. A conscience tells you what is good from bad. Who cares. I do! Well I don't. Who cares about you anyway? You? Certainly not.

"Uhm... Aidou... Why are you talking to yourself??" Yori-chan said, snapping me out of my... internal debate... Great. I guess I'm one step to insanity... Wait, what?! I've been talking aloud?!!!! Hahaha~! Fuck you. STFU before I blow you up.

"Uhm... Because it's cool?" I personally think that that is VERY STUPID! C'mon, Hanabusa! You were born a genius!!!

"Okay?" She said, trying to agree but can't because the thought itself is plain ridiculous. Who thinks that talking to yourself is so cool?!

*Somewhere*

"Ahahah! Ahahah! This is so cool! Can you believe it?!!! I'm talking to myself!!!!!" A nerdy-geeky-uncool boy said to the mirror in front of him. Guess that explains his awful fashion taste. It's the first time he ever saw a mirror.

*Back with Aidou and Yori*

"Here we are!" I said as I parked my car. Where exactly are we? We are at my favorite pasta place. No. I won't tell you the name. You might give it to all my rabid fans.

"Ladies first." I said as I opened the door. What?! My parents thought me how to be a gentleman. And opening the door for a lady is a perfect example.

"Thank you." She said as she walked pass me. Hah! she said thank you!

"Table for two?" the waitress said.

"Yes, please." I said, smiling 'the smile', making the girl gawk at me.

"Uhm... This way please." She said right after she snapped out of her reverie and realizing that she'd been staring at me for an entire minute. She led us to the nearest table and handed us the menu once we were seated. Oh, did I mention that she keeps on fixing her hair and glancing at me? And that her eyes are filled with jealousy when she happens to glance at Yori-chan?

"So, what do you want, Yori-chan?" I asked her. Let the ladies choose first before you choose for yourself. One of the rules of being a gentleman.

"I want an Italian-styled spaghetti please." She said as the girl, Nina (name tag, people), began listing on her notepad.

"Drinks?" I asked.

"Pineapple juice, please." She said.

"Dessert?"

"I don't think I'll be having any desserts." She said.

"Are you sure about that?" I asked.

"Yes, I'm sure." She said.

"Okay then." I said.

"How about you sir?" She asked, her eyes gleaming with enthusiasm.

"I would like to have strawberry cake with lots and lots of those strawberry chunks and a cup of coffee please." I said, smiling not at the girl but at thought of the food I just ordered. What? I love sweets.

"Okay. I'll be back with your food." She said and skipped away. Yes. Skipped.

"So..." I began.

"What?" Yori-chan said.

"How's life?" I asked casually. You've got to form a conversation with the ladies.

"Fine." She said. I'm being nice here. You could at least try to answer more than a word.

"Actually, I kind of feel uneasy..." She said, looking at the table. Suddenly, all her warmth faded and was replaced by a feeling of uneasiness.

"Am I making you feel uneasy?" I can't help but ask.

"No, you don't make me feel uneasy. You're actually... You're actually one of the people who makes me feel at ease. The thing I'm uneasy about... It's... It's a different thing." She said. Really?

"I do?" I asked. Wow! I feel... I feel so happy... This is the first time I have heard that statement being said to me.

"Yes. Every since you have saved me from the bad vampire 8 years ago." She said. Wait a minute. I did that?

"I did that?" I asked. How come I don't know that?

"Yes. If you didn't came to save me, I would have been dead." She said. Okay. Now, I'm officially lost.

"I don't really understand what you're talking about right now." I said. How come I don't know this?!

"Here is your food. Italian-styled spaghetti and pineapple juice for the lady," Is it just me or did she said that a little bit too harsh? "And here's the strawberry cake and cup of coffee for our gentleman." And did she just said that a little bit too enthusiastically?

"Thank you." I said. Okay, why is she still standing there?

"Is there anything else that you would like?" She asked.

"No, we're good." I said and began eating to show her that we need privacy. It's not exactly a rude gesture. It's better than telling people to f-ck off.

We were eating for 15 minutes in total silence until my phone rang.

"Hello?" I said to the other end.

"Aidou, where are you? You know I have my check up, right?" Kiryuu. Uh-oh... What time is it?

"What time is it?" I asked quite frantically.

"5 minutes before 1:30." He said. Oh DAMN! I'm screwed.

"Uhm.. We'll be there after 10 minutes." I said.

"Hurry up. I don't have all day." Dead line. Lucky him we're done eating.

"Are you done eating?" I asked politely.

"Yes." She said.

"Well then, let's go." I said and stood up.

"You forgot to pay the bill." She said. Oh right. Yeah. That.

"Oh yeah... Uhm, excuse me." I called the waitress.

"Yes?" The waitress said, her tone still annoying.

"The bill." I asked.

"Just wait for a sec." She said went to the counter.

Great. 3 more minutes.

...

...

"Let's go." I said. Don't worry. I left a note with money on the counter. The change? They can just give it to the needy.

"After you." I said as I opened the door.

"Thanks." She said and suddenly froze on her tracks.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I asked her. She looked like she saw a ghost.

"N-Nothing... Let's... Let's just go back to the office..." She said. I decided to let it pass because I don't think she wants to talk about it. I opened the door to the passenger's seat to let Yori-chan in before I climbed the driver's seat and drive back to the office. Once we got there, the first thing Yori-chan said was-

"He's here."

Author's rambling area: Sorry guys. Have to rush the end. Somebody's gonna use the PC. For those who are wondering who is he, keep wondering. You'll find out soon anyways. :D And why doesn't Aidou remember saving Yori? Review to find out. :D
