It was a glorious, colorful autumn.
We’d just left the coffee shop. When we walked by, she had giggled and pulled me inside, saying, “C’mon, let’s be basic white girls and get some pumpkin spice!”
I don’t like coffee. I never had. But when she handed me my cup and looked into my eyes while I tried it, it was the best thing I’d ever tasted.
My hand still tingled where she grabbed it.
As we walked through the park with our drinks, a light drizzle began to fall. She pulled out an umbrella from her bag, I pulled up my hood and hunched my shoulders.
“Don’t be silly,” she giggled, pulling me under the umbrella with her. I couldn’t help but laugh too, her laugh is infectious.
As the sun started to shine again, she pulled me down to sit on a bench. She beamed down at me, and I could only gaze back adoringly.
“So Asahi…” She began. I knew this tone of voice, it’s dangerous.
“Who do you like?” She whispered, and I looked away. I wanted to say, ‘you, you, a thousand times you. You’re the only one I can ever think about. You’re gorgeous and sweet and funny and…’
Instead, I shrugged my shoulders and looked down at my cup.
She looked at me with a cautious smile. “If I tell you mine, will you tell me yours?”
“Okay.” I said.
“The person I like… …is you.”
I drop my drink.
"I've been wanting to tell you for a while though. I know you're not interested in me but I-"
I put my hand over her mouth.
She looks ate me in surprise. I take a deep Breath.
"Kaori, I-"
My voice catches in my throat.
She removes my hand from her mouth,leans in a tiny bit closer.
"what is it?" she ask, looking concerned. Because i can't seem to form the words, I tell her how i feel the only way i can.
Before i can lose my courage,I lean forward pressing my lips to his. After his momentary shock fades he kisses me back as his lips moves against mine its like there's fire in my veins.
