I scrunched up more of his shirt in my hand. I didn't realize but we arrived at a diner. Takumi takes off his seatbelt. He swiftly takes my waist into his left hand and my legs into his right hand so easily like I am ready to be carried out like a princess. His fingers are light and soft and his face is solemn and before I can react to any of this I can only think that going to do something perverted to me. I figure out my options: 1. Scream 2. Kick 3. Bite him or spit 4. Attack him head on, but I think Takumi is a little bit stronger than I am. Takumi does nothing, Takumi doesn't lift me instead Takumi stares into my eyes and I do the same. I had no words left.

'I was just joking Ayuzawa, I know I didn't do anything, I just wanted you not to be hungry that is all' what that didn't make sense. I opened my mouth to argue with him. But he leaned in closer to my face. I can feel the heat rising to my face. I can imagine how I look, cheeks like cherries. I can feel his fingers grip a little tighter on my waist. I have never been touched there. I don't hug guys let alone perverts. And since my family died I don't hug at all.

'I heard your stomach growl when we were in the house, and don't try to deny it' he inched closer when he said the last part. Now, his nose is millimeters away from touching mine

I tried again to defend my territory but he cut me off again 'if you try to deny it, I will kiss you right now, okay' he moved closer and our noses touched and he stared deep at me

'Fine, just off me!' I let go of his shirt and push him away

He put me on my seat and opened his door and got down. I did as well. He walked up to the door and turned around to look at me and I started 'can I use your phone; I need to tell Sakura that we are going to come a bit late'

'I already called her'

'When?'

'When you were filling out forms with the police'

'Oh, okay' I start to walk toward him and the door 'what did you tell her?' I ask him as I pass through the door he opens for me

'I told her that we were taking the truck to the garage'

I sigh; at least Sakura won't have any other thoughts about us

'Are you happy-' I start

'Watch out' he grabbed my waist and pulled me into him. There was a waitress with a lot of glasses on her tray.

I go flying on to his chest. I stare at him.

'Are you okay?' he asks me

'Yah' I nod and get off him quickly. He was wearing a t-shirt; he took off his suit while I was signing paper with the police.

'Let's go sit' he led the way to seats where we would face each other

The seats were beside the window, it was a bit chilly. I get goose bumps on my forearm and I try to make them go away by rubbing my arms

'Here are your menus' a waitress came by and talked to Takumi only, she completely ignored me. She was taller than me and curvier and I guess prettier, even though I don't know how to measure one's beautifulness.

When she left Takumi looked up at me and asked me 'so what do you want Ayuzawa?'

I didn't have any money on me, I better order something low cost. I scan the menu; the only thing that is cheap is coke which is a dollar.

'Emmm, coke'

'Nothing else?' he looked at me wide eyed

'no' I tried to smile, sometimes I wonder why he cares so much about me but then again I know the answer he just wants to get in my pants and I won't let that happen

'Okay' he sighed, I can't see his face the sun shining through the window and blinding me

The waitress came back, maybe they should get together, and clearly she wants him.

'So, what will it be?' she said while flirting with Takumi

He was still searching the menu so I answered 'One coke please' I told her

No response from her.

Takumi started but didn't look at her 'three pancakes, orange juice, hot chocolate, toast and some waffles please'

Whoa, what a pig!

The waitress wrote it down and tried again with Takumi, and then she left

'Can I set you up?' I ask the question caught him off guard. Yes, one point for me!

'I don't understand'

'I mean can I get you a girlfriend' a huge grin was forming on his face, I regretted saying that statement immediately

'Like you'

'Not me, I have a boyfriend' I lied; the time I will get a boyfriend or get married is NEVER!

He nodded in curiosity so I on.

'Yup' I nodded like a child

'Who, then?'

'It's...'

He waited patiently, not losing eye contact with me

'Uhmm... His name is Ethan'

'Ohh' he was thinking, I think he knows that I am lying

'So where does he work?' he moved n closer into the table toward me, he is clearly interested in this

Where, where, where, oh yah 'he teaches at a high school'

'Oh, which one?'

'Aren't we curious?' I smirk; time to play game on him

Right on cue, before he could answer, the waitress came in with our order

She smiled at Takumi who stared at me. She put all the orders around Takumi, now I know that I am invisible, whatever I just ordered a drink.

When the waitress was gone, I got up to get my drink. I moved my hand towards the can of coke but he defended it

'you are the one who is hungry Ayuzawa not me so this is for me' he took the coke away from me and started placing all of the other dishes closer to me 'and these are for you'

'No thank, I would just like my coke, please' I stare at him, trying to make myself intimidating. I don't think I was successful

'Nope'

'What do you mean, no'

'I mean that you have to eat it'

'I don't want it'

'Do you remember what I said to you in the truck?'

I do remember, he was going to kiss me, I don't back down from a fight that easily

'So if you don't eat it, it will happen' he says

'What will happen' I say with a smile, I pretend not to remember

'Oh, so you do want to be kissed by me' he said with great pride

'Ewww, who would want to'

'Then eat it' I guess I lose now, he chuckled

'Hmmp' I dig my fork into the pancakes

We chatted a bit more about my "boyfriend" and he ate too.

He paid the bill and got up, ' I just got to go to the washroom, Ayuzawa'

I nod and wait for him at the table

I have never been kissed before, Sakura has and she said it felt nice. For some reason, meeting the right guy does seem nice, even though many of them are perverted and idiots like Takumi.

What does the perfect guy look like? And how do you know, if he is the one?
