She wore a beautiful dress. I on the other hand, tried to look casual, but I guess I just really love black-themed outfits.
I have to admit, she looks pretty in that dress.
I then offered my hand to her and asks, "Shall we go?"
It was the afternoon. We asked her father for a permission, then he gave us his consent. We both smiled to each other as her father watches us leave.
After a while, we took a walk around the street. We window shopped everywhere. She looked at clothes and shoes, while I take a look at motorcycles. After that, we bought an ice creme crêpe. One for each of us.
"I'll pay for it all." I said
She replied hastily, "No! You don't need to. I'll pay."
I sighed, "I'll pay for it all, so you can have it free. Don't you want?"
She looked down, "I want it, but I don't want it free... I'll pay for it."
She sure is stubborn, but I guess she just wants equality between us...
"I'll pay for my own and you'll pay yours, then?"
She excitedly replies, "Yes! I'll pay mine and you'll pay for your own."
I chuckled, "Haha... Ok, ok."
She got a strawberry vanilla and I got chocolate vanilla.
As she tasted it, she burst from excitement, "Mmm! It's sweet!" She says.
I smiled, "So, Where do you wanna go next?"
"I want to go to an observation deck."
"I see... I know one, but this one is public."
She made a beaming smile, "Absolutely fine!"
She looks happy and has full of energy, makes me happy as well. I'm just happy that she's happy. Because that's all I wanna see, her smile...
We took a walk after eating our ice cream crêpe. All because we can't eat while walking on the street. That is why it took us time 'till we get to the Mori Tower of Roppongi Hills.
The cost is around 2300 yen. That should take us to the highest part of the tower.
She was so excited as we climb the tower.
As we reach the top, the time is around 19:00. The city below is so beautiful, as the city lights shines in the night.
She was just beside me as we observe from the deck.
I could see her smiling... I'm sure she was so happy to be here.
"Did you know? Did you know? Our shop is just right over there!" She then points where the shop is.
I'm amazed that she can see the café shop from here, "Wow... You sure know where it is. Haha..."
"Of course! That's our shop and our home!"
She is so cheerful. I want to touch her hand and make a move, but there are still some people around...
I'm too shy to initiate, but I guess I have to just trust myself. In order to be confident, I must trust myself first...
I then slowly touched and grabbed her hand while breathing heavily. She then looked at me and smiled.
As soon as I saw her looking at me, I quickly looked away, "I-It's cold! I just wanna know if your hands are cold..." I said it shyly.
She giggled, "It is. Thank you..."
I gulped.
After a while, I then felt that she was freezing from the heavy breeze of the wind, so I then put my arm around her shoulder while feeling embarrassed at the same time.
"N-No big deal! It's just... I can see you freezing."
I was shaking as I said that. Believing that she might creep out, but instead, she smiled at me. My heart was beating so fast, because this is the first close interaction I had with her.
I think she's comfortable by my side. But, I don't know what to say, because I'm speechless with everything that is going on.
'What should I do next?' I was flustering as I ask myself, '--We're just enjoying the view, but what to do next?'
I then had an idea. I slowly wrapped my arms around her, then held her hand.
I don't know if that's gonna do it, but I do hope she's not thinking it the wrong way. I just want to warm her up...
"I-It's a nice view, isn't it? Hehe..." I nervously asked.
She smiled faintly, "It is..."
"S-So... You wanna sta-"
She immediately interrupts me, "Shh... Enjoy the moment, silly..."
And so I remained quiet and enjoyed the view with her, but I'm still asking myself, 'What to do next? Damn it! Think, Ryu!'
I tried to calm myself. After all, I don't want her to see my struggles...
She then breathes in and out heavily and said, "You know... I remembered he brought me here and did the exact same thing..."
My eyes opened widely.
"But at that time, we confessed to each other..." She added.
I... I can't believe she brought up her ex. Is she giving me a hint to confess as well?
"Yuna, I-"
"However, every time I remember it, I laugh... Words does not define how much you love someone... It's in the action, not in the words..." She interrupted me.
I gulped. Maybe it's a bad idea to confess, after all...
"Hm? Yes? Are you saying something?" She asked.
I immediately looked away, "No-Nothing..."
She then tries to tickle me, but it doesn't tickle me. Maybe because I can't be tickled.
"Come on... Say it..." She said.
I can't confess to her. This is a trap if I confess. I must think of something else, quickly...
"Yuna, I..."
She looked at me closely with eyebrows furrowed, "You what?"
I don't know what to say... If I say I love her, maybe she doubt that I truly love her... So, should I show it through an action?
"I..."
I suddenly turned her around, facing me. She was surprised and speechless. I on the other hand, feel embarrassed, but I just go with the flow...
She got confused, "Ryu..?"
We just looked at each other. I looked directly into her eyes, while she looks back directly to me as well...
We were just staring at each other for a minute, while I ask myself with my heart pounding fast, 'S-Should I kiss her? No! I think it's too early for that...'
I then hugged her and said, "I'm so happy that I met you... You brought color into my world..."
She was just speechless and surprised, but then she hugs me back.
After what I said, I then felt tears coming out from my eyes... I don't know if I'm sad or happy, maybe because I'll bring trouble to her. But, I kept hugging her anyways...
It was the most beautiful moment I ever experienced.
We hugged each other on top of the tower, above the shining beautiful city lights... Of Tokyo...
I just hope this will last forever...
