THEY are both shocked as their bodies touch each other. Selene could feel the prompting heartbeat of Reiji when her chest pressed against him.
She was about to say something when she saw Reiji covered his face with both of his palm.
"Reiji~"
"For Pete's sake, please stop arousing me, Selene."
Her eyes went huge as she felt something enlarging slowly unto her belly. Selene then realized what is 'that' thing. "Goodness gracious!" she quickly went of his body. "You're so disgusting, Reiji!"
The man just uttered a very low growl as he forced himself to stand up. "Your fault, my sweet friend."
"Don't blame me with your green-minded and polluted mind, Reiji."
"Come on, you're the one who's above me! Why should I take the blame?"
"It was an accident!"
"D*mn, f*cking accidents." Reiji manage to sighed in defeat. No wonder he would humble himself to her since he's a man and she's a lady. Well, both were recognized as a gender but they never had equality since men are different from women.
Selene came back to where her important things are. Along the riverside, she went to get her old pink notebook. The poor thing, it was dripping with water. The pages from inside were usually been pasted, each writing became unreadable. Her heart almost sank, seeing her treasure turned to something negligible.
"I've been jealous with that thing since you left me over there, standing alone for that." Reiji crossed his arms as he talked.
Selene faced him, vast of emotions took control of her. "Don't be too emotional. This thing really deserves to be well-cared. But I messed it up."
"As you've said, all was an accident…" he then silently chortled. "…even though I don't believe it."
"You're so rude! You're not like the little Reiji I truly know."
"People change, Selene. I'm not like the little Reiji you've known. I'm now a handsome, successful and matured Reiji." He posted himself like a man being praised by many women. Selene couldn't believe how his confidence level turned high.
"You're so full of yourself. It's not really good." Selene truthfully refused what he said. Well, except for the handsome part.
D*mn, how could she be thrilled to a man like him? He's her bestfriend for Pete's sake.
Reiji abruptly became silent which she assumed, he's not happy with the flow of their conversation. He's hurt with what she commented.
"Hey, you know I'm just joking." Selene's conscience betrayed her and she just ate her words. "Alright, I'm sorry if I offended you."
Reiji smiled as she touched his cheeks. He held her hand that she used. "That's my girl."
Selene succeeded. She already knew that touching his cheeks is his weakness towards her since they were a child. She's used of doing it if she did something hard to forgive.
Obviously, old habits die hard.
As the wind started to blow stronger, Selene hastily hugged herself to gain heat. After all, her dress was already drenched by the water at the riverside, especially her body. The cold sensation filled her body and she was shivering all over from her top to bottom.
And then, a black suit covered her and suddenly kept her warm even though it was also wet.
Selene's heart was gratified, knowing that her best friend, has always been thinking first about her condition.
