Ritsu's POV
So yeah, my planned so far work out well. This date that I've been planning on doing ever since weeks before we go to London, I almost thought it wouldn't work, ever since that silly incident.
Oh well, at least I got something out of plan. Anna gave me the car and yeah, of course her girlfriend couldn't argue more about it, ever since this car is Anna's car, which supposed to be given to Ryu. Sadly, Anna felt guilty for kissing me back at the apartment—ah yeah… talking about that kiss.
Mio still had no idea about that. "So, where are you going to take me now, Ritsu?" Suddenly, the said girl voice asked me.
"Oh, for this one, I will keep it as a surprise. I told you, it's a surprise-date~" I hummed happily as I heard Mio sighing and took the map from the car's desk. I knew this; she'll be looking for any clue to where we're going to. I almost laugh, though it's not that easy to read a map, especially we're not in Japan. I guess helping her with clue wouldn't be too bad. "Let me give you a clue. The place's name started with 'V' and ended with 'S'… divided in four categories for each places in it. You figure the rest~"
"Started with 'V' and have four categories for each places, huh? Let's see what I can get from this map…"
Yeah yeah, let's see what you got on that map, Mio. Oh gosh, I feel really evil now… am I being too harsh? Well, to be honest, Mio got the wrong map there. Not exactly the wrong map, but it's just really hard to see the place that I was talking about with that map.
Yup, I got the easier map. That's why I keep making muffled laugh every so often. "Ugh, I can't find it. There's too much places starts with 'V' and ends with 'S'… can you give me any other clue, Ritsu?"
"Have you tried to see those places which are divided in four categories?"
Mio fell silent and not even replying what I've said, she looks up to the map once again. Soon, I heard defeated sigh. I knew Mio really can't find the place. "You know what? Wake me up when we finally reach the place." I laughed at her statement as she slumped on her seat.
She pulled the thing on the left side of the seat and it slowly makes the seat goes lower and more comfortable for Mio to sleep on it. Oh well, we'll reach the place in a few more hours, so I'll just let her took her nap.
Mio's POV
This is really unbelievable.
Ritsu is really unbelievable now. She asked me on a date, she told me that this is a surprise date. She's driving us here and there with a car and I just really had no idea since when she could drive. It scared me like hell remembering Ritsu doesn't have any driving license. Oh, now that I remember that.
I quickly opened my eyes as I stare at Ritsu, who's still driving the car. "Ritsu… you don't have driving license… do you?" I asked carefully, trying my best if Ritsu say she really don't have, I wouldn't get so freak out and get out of the car.
"Eh? Driving License, huh? I dunno… maybe I have…" What was that answer? She doesn't even sure she has any driving license! Oh god, please don't let anyone notice this, but me.
"Seriously Ritsu… how could you tell me you don't know…? What if people saw us—" I stopped as I see Ritsu held something in her hand and put it right in front my face. Stopped mentally from talking, I focused on the thing Ritsu showed me.
A card.
Written there…
"Driving License"
I face palmed, then my face turn into pinkish color. I'm not sure, maybe it was red, but the real thing is, I found this is quite embarrassing for me. "You do have…" I whispered out of my instinct.
"I know you would've been worried seeing me driving without showing you any driving license. So yeah, you don't have to worry about that… I have it with me." Ritsu gave me her grinning face and back to the road. I'm really amazed seeing Ritsu so well-prepared, especially for something like this. It is so obvious she already plan this surprise-date ahead before.
It's just looks cute when Ritsu act like this. I really feel like hugging her… but yeah… she's driving and it would be dangerous if I hug her right now. Ugh… I hate this… why she has to act so sweet when I'm not able to even hug her? Sighing softly, I slumped back to my seat.
I heard chuckles from Ritsu. "Well, we're almost there… I can wait, you know…" I frowned and shot her a questioning look. It is as if she just reads my mind. Wait… it's not like I was talking my thoughts out loud, right…?
I was about to ask, but when I turn my head to the place that Ritsu said we're arrived, I gasped. "This… so you're taking me h- here, Ritsu…? R- Really…? Ritsu, if you're kidding, it's—"
Watching someone just gave Ritsu a map of this place and then she turned her attention to me. "Now Mio~ If I really kidding right now, it would be a waste of energy, time and also money… 'cause I got the tickets here with me~" She grinned once again, holding those tickets in her hand. Ritsu quickly glance to the window on her side.
"Welcome to Versailles. May I see the tickets, please?"
"Sure. Here and uh… I'm wondering if you could tell me when the places are going to close today." I could only watch Ritsu… talking with the man… in English.
"Thank you. For the closing of places at Versailles, you can see it on the map of the whole areas. There are schedules for opening and closing for each place you want to visit. Is there any more thing I can help you with, Sir?"
"Ah… there's nothing. Well, thanks for the information."
"It's my duty to be able to help. Please enjoy your trip around Versailles."
And so Ritsu hit the gas of the car slowly and search for the parking lot. I saw Ritsu's face and it looked quite troubled. I can't help but giggling at her. "Meh… I can't believe you laugh at me for that, Mio…" She said sarcastically.
"S- Sorry… I can't help, Ritsu… I mean… that man… he just called you 'sir' back there… hahaha." I said between laughs and giggles.
"Whatever." Was a mumbled word I heard from Ritsu.
She's being more sensitive now, huh? I mean, usually she brush it off when people mistaken her as a guy, though she always hung out with me and people mostly thought that Ritsu is my boyfriend. Oh well, after all, Ritsu is still a girl and I guess that one thing is the thing I don't want to change about her.
Thinking about that makes me realized something. I searched for some opportunity and when I found one, I quickly wrapped my arms around her neck, pulling her into a hug. I know Ritsu surely wouldn't ignore this and… her words back when we're in the car was definitely telling me she knew that I've been holding myself to do that.
I felt Ritsu's arms sneaking around my waist and pulling me even closer. I opened my eyes a bit, to see if there are any people around, because it's so not my habit to show love-affection in public like this.
"Glad that there's no one around, Mio?" Ritsu's voice broke my thoughts.
"Can you not ruin the mood for once?" I said with a protested tone. "You do realize that I'm really aware of showing something like this…" I mumbled on Ritsu's neck.
"Well, as much as I wanted you to keep doing this… we shouldn't waste time here. C'mon, the openings and closings are scheduled, it's such a waste if we missed one of the four places in this area." Ritsu suggested and I pulled away from the hug. She's right, even though I really wanted to know how could she have that much of money to buy the tickets and the rest, I guess that need to wait.
I know and I realized I'm blushing right now, because the look on Ritsu's face is the look where she was satisfied. "Stop looking at me like that." I warned; looking away as soon as I finished.
"I can't help it… you were so cute when your face gettin' all red like that~" Here she goes again with her teasing.
"I thought you said we shouldn't waste any time here. So let's just get going now." With that said, I walked away from Ritsu. I could hear her footsteps running towards me and then she poked my shoulder.
"Gee, you walked pretty fast, y'know~ You can't go anywhere without map, Mio~"
"I have my own map, remember?"
"Oh c'mon… isn't it obvious that I offer us to use one map instead of using two for each of us?" Oh… now I get the idea…
I don't want to look dumb-founded, so I rolled my eyes; usual thing that I always do when Ritsu started to rambling in her randomness. "Whatever…"
At the end, Ritsu and I visits all of the four places in Versailles. Everything was just beautiful in the picture, so beautiful that I can't seem to able to compose a sentence to describe it. The first place we visited was The Château de Versailles, which usually calls as The Palace. I've read the book about this amazing Palace and yes, I'm not going to deny the fact that everything the book had said was right.
From The Palace, we walked to the back side of it. There's the second place of four categories in Versailles, it is obviously, The Garden of The Château. People usually calls it as The Garden, and god… only if you can see this by yourself. Everything was so beautiful, I can't stop myself from taking pictures once we got our feet on The Garden. That's when I heard a click sound that surely not from my camera. I turned my head to Ritsu.
Gasping as I watch Ritsu took pictures with her own camera. I gasped not at Ritsu, but seriously at the thing Ritsu hold or use. It was the SLR Camera, EOS-1Ds Mark III! Oh god, it cost more than $5,000! Just when and how did she get money to afford it?
This is definitely got on my very nerve. Not that I mad, but… all of this made me suspicious. "Ritsu, is that what I think it is?"
"Eh? Oh, you mean this?" She asked me back while showing the camera to me. "Haha, don't worry, I didn't waste money for this~"
"It's not yours? Then whose camera?" I only got one person to figure the owner of that camera.
"Mugi. She offered me if I want to borrow it, and yeah, such opportunity doesn't come so often. So I borrow it."
"Oh… then I should've known about that…" I muttered. It's low, so I thought Ritsu wouldn't hear what I just said.
We didn't took that long in The Palace and The Garden, since we got less time to spend and one more reason is because I'm afraid a certain someone might get boring and start to whine out. Come to think of it, I haven't heard a single whine from her. "Ritsu?" I called her out.
"Hm? What's up?" She's surprisingly reply me casually and calmly.
I frowned, because this is not what I had expected of her. "Nothing… It's just… ah, never mind it… let's just go now." Oh well, knowing Ritsu, I bet asking her would be a waste. I know she'll whine out when she want to.
I'm just glad it's not now. Actually… not yet.
A/N: Well, I guess this is enough… crap! of course not! Gomen ne… I need to keep the rest for the next chappie! Oh yeah, just FYI, they visited all the four places in Versailles. That would be; (1) The Palace, (2) The Garden, (3) The Grand Trianon, (4) Marie-Antoinette's estate.
Don't kill me if I made any mistakes when visited those places. I DO searching on google about good places people usually visits in Paris, France. I've never been to Paris before #howsad so… please correct it if there are mistakes… lmao! I don't even know how far from Eiffel Tower to Versailles, I thought maybe it's quite far. Hehehe~
~Thanks for R&R~
