Chapter 14 - My mistake

"What took you two?" I look at gen then marie and keigo " well you know how we aren't really engaged..Chikashi has his girlfriend I decided to finally go out with gen!" I heard marie clapping and keigo laughing deep as always but something felt a bit off..the thing was I was absolutely blind. "Shall we eat." I hear the women saying to chikashi " Well that is just great! I'm so glad you two aren't taking any of this seriously." I smile and nod at marie but chikashi just sits back in his chair even more. "Hey Aiko how have you been?"so that woman's name is aiko.." I've been good however,I've been busy traveling all over for my magazine's." I curiously ask a question " Magazine?" Aiko moves her eyes towards me with a smirk " well I'm a journalist, and I work for this travel magazine for other people's honeymoons." My mouth drops " Wow! That is so cool!! I'm a known writer in france but that is it." Aiko laughs " We are practically friends now!" I giggle and smile the whole night with aiko ,keigo,my boyfriend gen,chik-....well not chikashi...."Thank you so much for having us!"Gen thanks marie and keigo while I get to the car because I said my appreciation before him! "Okay..so your gonna drop me off at my place...and ..." I smirk at gen and drive off. Once we get to his house I immediately get out to grab his hand "I'm staying"I give him a wink before closing the door. Of course we never really did anything unless your talking about kdramas,K dramas were what we watched all night which was awesome! When I woke up I found myself sleeping on the couch with gen without sun in my face for once! I turn my head to look at gen sleeping so peacefully which makes me think of another.."Goodmorning hana" Gen leans to kiss my forehead which makes me crack a smile " Goodmorning gen.. I was wondering can we go to that new cafe around here before I go home?" Gen smiles and nods " Of course" I Get up from the couch to grab my bag " C'mon I want to try the tea there!" Gen chuckles while getting up to my excitement " We both walk out to my father's car after getting up and out of the house " Now the address!" Gen chuckles as we leave while giving me directions the way over to the cafe " This is a cute little cafe!" I get out of my father's car looking at the opening sign,balloons and every other decorations they had. "こんにちは!" I smile then bow " Hello" The young lady takes us to a corner next to the window to seat "こんにちは welcome to cosplay cafe! What can I get you today?" I noticed her outfit the same from maid sama " Ah..I'll have a tea." I then look at gen to let him know that it's his turn " I'll take whatever!" I smile but still wonder something " Excuse me miss but by cosplay do you mean just the employees or customers and employees?" The young girl shakes her head "No customers are aloud to do cosplay Only the employees. We are currently getting more outfits so until then we are dressing as maid sama characters" I smirk a bit to what I was thinking " Do you have a male to fit in for Takumi usui?" I make the young girl giggle a bit "Unfortunately we do not have a male yet but" The young girl reaches in her pouch and hands me a piece of paper with a job offer for a male role " We are currently looking for a male! So if you know someone that'll fit the role, we are always up for interviewing!" I nod my head and she leaves to get our drinks " So am I gonna be interviewed?" I leave my thoughts to gen's question " Probably..." Gen's face frowns "Probably?" I say probably because I have another person in mind who reminds me of takumi " Well yeah...I just ...maybe...maybe chikashi can fit this role!" Gen completely shuts down which makes me nervous " Chikashi...."I shrug my shoulder and look around the cafe to avoid meeting gen's eyes " Here is your tea and you a honey spree drink!" I smile delighted to try the drink "Excuse me but what is in the drink?" Gen asks curiously " Well its tea with honey, lemon, tiny bit of salt which is optional, ice,surger,and the love we put in our drinks!" Gen show's his appreciation towards her and drinks up his drink. When we both were ready to leave we paid and left directly to his house because I had my father's car " I'll see you later..?" I say nervously waiting for his respond but only get his shrugging shoulder , not a word. As soon as he shuts my father's car door I immediately drive off to my parents house hoping that my mother had calmed down enough to see my face. I've arrived yet scared to walk in but I can't stay away forever! I get out of the car,lock it,and walk up to the front door " Okay I've got this." I open the front door to see my mother on the steps with her hands on her face " Mother.." She looks up surprised , I guess she didn't hear me.. " Hana! I'm so sorry!! I-I didn't know what became of me please forgive me!" I walk towards my mother and kneeled down to give my mother a hug " I know you didn't mean those things...you just hate your past.." She begins to sob more and more until my father came downstairs to join us "Hana welcome home did you and your mother make up..?" We both look at him and laugh " Yes we made up." My father smiles at what my mother said and decides to hug us both. " Now how about we go out for the day...we haven't really been out as a family" My mom smiles at the idea and nods " That would be nice..should we maybe go to a restaurant?" I nod my head excitedly "Dinner is on me!"
