A few weeks had past since that fateful day, and Kyle hadn't seen the two girls' again. One day when Kyle had a day off from work, Irina drove him to the same shopping center where "Food Griffin" was located, because he wanted to go to the local video game store.
There was a certain game that Kyle was looking for, titled 'Honorfield 9: Call of Resistance', which was a best-seller for the PlayStation 3 system. Kyle walked inside the game store and noticed a few new releases near the main entrance. The game he wanted appeared to be sold out; however, upon further searching, he found only one copy left on the very bottom of the shelf.
'Lucky!' He reached his hand out to grab the game. However, just as he did this, someone else did too. It was Sabrina!
Their hands touched for a moment, but it wasn't long before she knocked him out of the way and took the copy for herself.
"Don't touch me, loser. Go find your own." Sabrina walked away, flipping her hair indignantly.
Kyle blinked a few times and just stared at Sabrina as he watched her walk into another section in the store. There's only one kind of vulgar display of shamelessness he likes, and that wasn't it.
'What the hell was that? If she just asked, I might have let her have it.' He decided to leave the store, empty-handed.
A few hours later, Kyle visited the local arcade. He used to go there a lot when he was a kid, so he was very familiar with the whole setup. He was just in the mood to chill for a bit. He definitely was not prepared to find both Sabrina and Asahi there as well. 'What the- Why are those two here?' He instinctively hid from them, even though there really wasn't any reason to. 'Okay, let's take this slow. Act natural.' He walked to the front of the arcade where Sabrina was attempting to catch a stuffed teddy bear for Asahi.
"Look, you almost have it! Just a little more!" Asahi was getting excited at the prospect of having a new "friend", so to speak.
Sabrina didn't appreciate the interruption. "Hold on, Asahi, don't break my concentration!" It was too late. The bear fell out of the claw, their last yen wasted. "Dammit!"
Asahi looked dejected. "Aw... Well, at least you tried."
Kyle took this as an opportunity to step in. "Hey ladies, fancy meeting you here."
"...What the hell? YOU again!" Sabrina look more annoyed than ever.
"Um...yes, it is indeed me." Kyle turned to look at Asahi. He noticed that she was focused on a teddy bear that was inside the crane machine. "Hey, I could help you get that if you want."
Asahi looked at Kyle with a surprised face. "Wow... really? Could you really get the bear for me?" Her expression was extremely cute.
Kyle could not resist that face. "Yeah, it's no problem." He inserted yen inside the machine. After failing to get it 5 times, he finally gave up.
"I'm sorry I couldn't get it for you." Kyle appeared sad.
Asahi smiled at him. "No need to apologize, Kyle. You tried your best and that's all that matters."
Sabrina rolled her eyes and sighed. "Okay pal, you've screwed up enough already. Let's go, Asahi." Sabrina grabbed her hand and pulled her away.
Asahi drew her hand back. "Wait, Sabrina! Don't be so hasty. We only just met."
Sabrina was growing impatient. "Don't tell me that you actually want to hang out with this trash? That's ridiculous! We're leaving."
Asahi frowned. "No! You're making me mad, Sabrina. At least let me talk to him for a little longer."
Sabrina was taken aback slightly. A combination of that and the fact that the thought of Asahi's angry face was also cute made her drop her guard. "Fine. Just for a little bit, okay? And make it quick." She shot a sharp glance at Kyle.
Kyle was dumbfounded at the exchange, but pleased at the result.
Asahi walked up to him and pulled her cell phone out. "Could you take yours out too?" She was whispering so that Sabrina wouldn't hear them.
Kyle complied with lightning speed. "Sure! Here you go." They exchanged addresses via infrared.
Asahi smiled brightly and got in close. "Don't worry about Sabrina, she's just being overprotective." She giggled and ran towards her friend and waved to Kyle. "Talk to you later, okay?"
Kyle just waved back in disbelief at what just happened. 'Wow... Did she really just give me her number? Sweet!'
In a good mood, but out of money because of that damn machine, he decided to go home and bask in the good feelings for a while.
Once Kyle got back to his house, he ran upstairs and checked his Facebook status. Nothing interesting was going on, and he was about to close his laptop. However, he suddenly had the urge to type in Sabrina's name to see if she had an account. She did indeed, as expected of the mighty Facebook. He noticed that her picture album wasn't on private, which he thought was pretty unusual.
"I should check out her pictures." Kyle clicked on Sabrina's picture album link. He found a bunch of photos that had Sabrina and Asahi in them, either holding hands or laughing together. But he found one photo that was quite interesting. It had Sabrina and Asahi kissing on the lips. Kyle's eyes widened and he suddenly felt a boner rise. "Whoa! This is awesome! And sorta weird too, but... oh well!" He saved the picture to his desktop right away.
He went back to the pictures and saw some familiar scenery. 'Hey, those houses look familiar. Isn't that...' He looked closer. "It is! That's next to the shopping district. I know where that is." Upon looking further, Kyle concluded that the house he saw in several pictures must be Sabrina's house.
This new information made his heart beat even faster. He debated whether or not to stop by. On the one hand, it's pretty creepy to just show up out of nowhere. On the other, bringing a gift will make it seem nice, so he decided he would do it after all.
Kyle headed downstairs and saw his mom. "Hey mom, could you maybe drive me to the store? I need to buy some things."
Irina looked at her son. "Sure honey, I'll be waiting in the car."
The next day, Kyle headed to the house that he discovered thanks to the magic of Facebook. 'I wonder if this much food is okay.' Kyle was carrying a bag full of assorted veggies and some fruit. There were cucumbers, bananas, carrots, celery, tomatoes, and others. 'Maybe I bought too much...' These thoughts escaped him as he arrived at what should be the house.
'Well, it's now or never, Kyle.' He walked up to the front gate and took a deep breath. "Come on Kyle, you can do this. Just relax, this isn't weird at all, it'll be fine." He reached his hand out to ring the buzzer when he heard some rather strange noises coming from the top level.
He didn't quite get what was going on. He called out, "Hello? It's me, Kyle. Is everything okay up there?" Being the risk taker that he was, he decided to just open the door and walk inside.
Once he was in the house, his heart raced wildly. And no, it wasn't because he just walked inside someone's house without permission. It was because he heard Asahi moaning and the sound of kissing...
