After pouring out my heart, there was still some time left for the movie to start so Ryu and I bought more popcorn. We were about to head to the theater when I heard a high pitched voice shout my name. I groaned. Who the fuck is this now?
We turned to find a brown haired girl jogging towards us. She was dressed in a slutty, thin strapped, baby pink dress that barely reached her mid-thigh and heels that accentuated her long legs. She stopped in front of us, looking excited. I frowned, not recognizing her. "You are...?"
She gasped. "Aito! You can't remember me?"
Ugh I had no time for this. Probably some chic I banged before. "Uh no. Sorry". I turned to leave but she held my arm. "Come on Aito. How can you forget me? I'm the girl in the maid costume. We met at the Kims party like, four months ago. You told me I was your first roleplay. You can't forget your first roleplay right honey?"
Oh crap!
I sneaked a glance at Ryu to find him wearing a stiff smile. Fuck.
I turned to the girl, wearing a confused expression. "Maid costume? Kims party? I can't remember anything like that. I think you've got the wrong person"
Her hold on me went tighter and the length of Ryu's smile reduced. "Oh come on Aito. How can I forget you? Even if I forget your face, I can't forget your signature platinum hair. I know it's you. Or are you shy because your handsome friend is listening?"
No! I'm denying it because he's my boyfriend!!
I turned to Ryu with a nervous smile. "Don't believe whatever she's saying Ryu. It's all a lie. I-I don't know her"
He raised a brow, clearly not buying it. "Really?"
Oh God I'm doomed.
The girl turned to Ryu with a mischievous grin. "Aito here, was really into roleplaying master and maid. It was really fun, wasn't it Aito?" She leaned close to him and whispered loud enough for me to hear. "He has massive energy in bed"
I covered my face in shame. What was the need to mention that? I don't even see how it's necessary for Ryu to know. She then curled her finger in the collar of his shirt and pressed her boobs against his chest, trying to seduce him. "But I'm sure you have more. You look like the powerful type. I like powerful men. I will play any role you want baby. Just say the word"
The fuck?
I quickly pulled her away and stood between her and Ryu. "My friend isn't into things like that. He's an innocent God-fearing man. He doesn't even speak to women let alone spend nights with them. Don't taint his holy heart"
I heard Ryu trying to stifle his laughter. This isn't funny at all! She's trying to get him into bed and he's letting me do all the talking. Shouldn't he say something too? I pinned him a glare but he smiled, seeming unaffected. Wow. So he's enjoying this. Maybe I should just let her do whatever she wants and pretend to not care.
The girl smiled. "Really? I like his type the most. The ones who pretend to be holy are the most perverted of all. Let me be his first Aito"
Ahh I'm gonna strangle this girl if she doesn't back off!
"Aito?" a different voice said this time. It was masculine and worse, a voice I totally recognized!
We all turned to find Haruto and Toshiro standing before us.
Fuck. My. Life.
********
"H-Haruto, Toshiro, what are you two doing here?" I stuttered nervously. Haruto was already mad at me for associating with Ryu and now, he finds us together. I wondered how he will react.
Haruto walked towards us then wedged himself between Ryu and I, making me scoot a bit farther away. Toshiro stood beside me, wearing a sly grin. "Aito my best bud!" he said in a too happy tone, draping his arm around my shoulder. "Haruto and I were just hanging out. You know, unwinding"
I narrowed my eyes at him then gazed at the movie tickets in his hand which he swung back and forth purposely so I could see it. Black Widow. I scoffed and pushed off his arm. "You guys wanted to watch it without me". It was a statement, not a question.
Jeongin just shrugged. "It was all Haruto's idea. I wanted to invite you but he said he didn't want to see your face"
I turned to Haruto to find him and Ryu glaring at each other. Oh God. Ryu smiled first, though it didn't reach his eyes. "How's your nose, Haruto?" he taunted.
Ouch. That was a sore spot for Haruto, considering the fact that he caused it. Also the swelling had reduced but it was still red.
Haruto scoffed. "My nose is fine. Would have been much worse if you didn't punch like a girl"
Liar!
Ryu chuckled. "Yes. That's why it was bleeding and you had to spend almost half a day in the infirmary"
"Oooh" Toshiro said then burst out laughing as he clapped. "Damn, he caught you with that one man"
Traitor!
I huffed then stepped between Ryu and Haruto. "Can we not do this right now? We're in a public place and I don't want to get in trouble"
"What are you doing here with him?" Haruto asked me, changing the topic. "And who is she?" he pointed at the girl who was now happily stuck beside Ryu.
I almost couldn't hold myself from rolling my eyes. "Not this again. Why can't we all just get along?"
The roleplay girl decided to speak; "Yes, I believe we should all get along. I never knew you had such good looking friends Aito"
This girl just wants to make things worse. I grunted. "You, shut up" Then I faced Haruto. "Yua told me you and Toshiro were hanging out without me so I decided to come watch a movie with Ryu. Are you happy now?"
"You don't owe him any explanation, Aito" Ryu said as he shrugged his arm out of the roleplay girl's hold and walked to my side. He took my hand. "Let's go. The movie will start soon"
I wanted to follow him but Haruto held my other hand. He then smirked at Ryu. "Since we're all here, why don't we watch a movie together? Knowing you, Aito, I'm sure you bought tickets for Black Widow didn't you?"
Ah darn it!
"I agree. The more, the merrier. Right, Ryu?" Toshiro asked, wiggling his brows.
Not if it's unwanted. Honestly, I really didn't know what to do. Why were things going bad on the day we wanted to go on a date like a normal couple? What sin did I commit to not have a smooth date?
Okay maybe I shouldn't ask that. I'm sure there a lot.
But still, I prayed to any deity in the world, any at all. Please look past my bad deeds and perform a miracle. Let Ryu and I have our date.
Please please please please please.
