Nona sighed as she flipped through the binder of documents that she needed to have memorized. there was no way she was memorizing this trash anytime soon. She was a foreigner in japan and she was always amazed by the work ethic that Japanese people had. Volunteer overtime, obsessive memorization... crazy. She glanced at the time,
12:20pm
Close enough to lunch for her.
Standing she headed to the break room. She had a vegetable juice she put in the fridge, hopefully no one drank it.
It didn't take her too long to reach the room and less to open the door and make eye contact with the only other person in the room.
Daigo Terou.
He gave a smile as he waved standing next to the counter drinking his coffee.
To be honest he really was strikingly handsome. He had that cute boy next door look. He always had a soft smile that disarmed you. And Nona wasn't against the sweet types. In fact she was all for nice guys finishing first. But she had come to see that some of the nicest guys had burdens that popped up at the worst times. But this was not the time to be eyeing him….
She felt the horror rise from within her. How… How of all times had she run into him?! She gave a quick smile and bow and quickly tried to get to the fridge and ignored the guy.
"So how has work been treating you?"
She wanted to cry why couldn't she live life in peace?
[It's enjoyable thank you]
[much harder than i thought]
A simple fine wasn't going to work huh?
[it's enjoyable thank you]
He smiled with a head tilt.
"I'm glad it's going well. The last girl that was here said it was much harder than she thought."
Not that nona wanted to know nor cared. She took a sip from her green juice and gauged the distance between her and the door when another choice came up, WAIT SHE HAD TO RESPOND?!
[guess she wasn't up for it]
[were you close?]
Good god, those were traps. If she was rude who knows how he would react, and if she asked him a question who knows how many worms were in that can…..
Still she wasn't a rude person and therefore
[were you close?]
He looked disheartened and she could only feel disappointment in herself.
"To be honest we used to date. But there were things that we didn't agree with. She told me i had to change and i tried but.. Well a leopard can't change he's spot's that easily ya know?"
Nona sighed and there another multiple choice came up.
[probably served you right]
[words of encouragement]
She wanted to cry but looked back up at him.
He remembered the rage that he fell into as he would throw things. The way that he would accuse her and how she would cry. And even that time when he hit her and the police had come to take him away.
[words of encouragement]
" it's true that leopards can't change his spots and while not everyone might like them… I still think that leopards have their own beauty. Being in love doesn't mean being the perfect partner. I think it means acceptance and loving someone despite the differences."
She smiled and then it faded in horror as hearts bloomed in the corner of the screen. Diago blushed with a happiness so bright it literally blinded her.
MY EYES!!!!!!
"Thank you, nona"
