The Sweetest Taste
Chapter 6She’s answering my calls and messages much lesser lately. Is she avoiding me? Or the cafe’s just busy?
“Aaaargghhh!!!” I can’t concentrate on my work, I keep on thinking about her.
“Ma’am, are you alright?"
My secretary went inside my office. She’s carrying a tall pile of folders.
“I don’t feel that well. I’ll leave early today.”
I said as I packed my things up and looked for my car keys.
“But Ma’am, you should sign these papers off first!”
She tried to stop me but I continued to walk out the office.
I’m actually in-charge of our company for the mean time since my parents are currently out visiting our branches outside Japan.
I started my car's engine and headed to Tomochin’s cafe. I parked infront as I arrived. I tried to look for her from my window. There she is. But who’s that guy she’s talking to? Maybe just a customer.
"The other Tomo~mi!” Someone called my name.
“Hi, Miyazawa-san!” I got off the car.
“That's too formal for a friend’s friend. Just call me Sae!”
“Then you can call me by my first name, too.” I told her.
“Alright! So, why aren’t you entering? I’m sure Tomochin will be happy to see you here.”
I still hesitated, Sae noticed that I’m looking at the guy beside Tomochin.
“Oh, him? He's also a childhood friend of Tomochin. He just came back to Japan."
I see.. another childhood friend, huh. Is he the reason why she's busy?
“Sae, why are you taking so long outside... Oh, Kasai-san!”
Sayaka said my name out too loud.
Tomochin looked at my direction and walked to the door.
“Tomo?? Hey, please come in!" She greeted me.
I entered the cafe and saw the guy's face much closer. He's good-looking.
“Tomo, this is Philip-kun. He's my classmate from middle school together with Shotaro-kun."
“Nice to meet you." He said politely.
"Kasai Tomomi desu." I bowed.
“Just in time, why don't you bring your friends later tonight?" He was talking to Tomochin.
"I was telling Tomochin earlier that I’d be having a welcome party later. I rented the whole place."
He sounded like he's inviting us.
“Great idea!” Sae agreed excitedly.
“So, we'll be closing the cafe early today.” Sayaka added.
"How about you, Kasai-san?" He looked at me.
“Tomo, you don't need to go if you...”
Tomochin’s about to say something, but I interrupted her.
“I'm coming too chiyuu..”
I’d be keeping an eye on this guy. I won’t let him lay a hand on my Tomochin!
“Good! It's all set. Here's the location. See you all later then!”
He wrote down the address and then left the cafe.
“Why did you come here, Tomo? It's still office hours, right?” Tomochin asked.
“It's okay, I own my time. I just want to visit you. You seem busy lately.”
“Ah y-yeah.. the cafe’s been very busy."
I saw Sae and Sayaka's reactions with her answer.
“So I guess, I should leave now so you guys can prepare. I'll see you later!"
I waved goodbye and left.
It's still early, so I went shopping first. I bought the sexiest dress there is, it's quite expensive but money doesn’t matter to a rich girl in love. I also went to the salon. I should look stunning in her eyes tonight, so that she's won't be able to take her eyes off me.
As I came at the venue, I saw that Philip guy already dancing with my Tomochin. How dare him touch her! Never underestimate a Kasai, I can hire a hitman right away to shoot him dead. Tomochin saw me arrived, she just stared at me for a second then looked away.
“Hey, Tomo~mi! You're here!” Sae called me, Sayaka beside her. They noticed where I’m staring at.
“They look good together, ne? If no one comes in between, they'll surely end up together, you know.”
Sae said grinning. Sayaka elbowed her.
“Sayaka, let's dance!” Sae dragged her on the dance floor.
These two, are they a couple? They give off a lovey-dovey vibes. I watched them as they started to dance. Being tall really stands out, lucky them.
I was left alone, I sat on the drinking bar. I stared at Tomochin while she dances with that guy. She looks like she’s enjoying his company. I sighed of defeat.
“One cocktail please.” I requested a drink from the bartender.
“Hello Miss, are you a friend of Philip?” A group of guys came near me.
“Not actually.” I gave them a dull response.
“Why is a gorgeous lady like you all alone here?” One of them asked smiling at me.
“Come on, dance with us!” The other one invited me.
He tried to reach me, but someone suddenly hit his hand away.
“She's not alone!” T-Tomochin? How did she get here so fast? I just saw her dancing with that Philip guy a second ago.
“She's with me! So get your filthy hands off her!” She yelled at them angrily.
“Come on, Tomo!” She grabbed my hand and we ranaway straight outside.
“What the heck are you thinking, Tomo! What if you get drunk again! Those guys might take advantage on you!”
She started yelling at me when we reached the parking lot.
“Tomochin, calm down. Look, I’m still in one piece chiyuu..”
“How can I calm down! You don’t even know what you’re capable of doing when you’re drunk!!!”
“And what does a drunk Tomo do???”
She didn’t answer. She went on pretending she doesn’t know. Now, I’m pissed.
“Just go back to your boyfriend!” I yelled back at her.
“Philip-kun's just an old friend! And why do you sound like you’re jealous or something?”
“Me? Jealous? Haha! Who's the one hysterical infront of all those guys earlier?"
“Can you see how you look tonight? You look so goddamn.….”
“I look what?” I teased.
“Arrrrghhh!!! Nothing! Just go home okay! You’re worrying me!”
“Then Tomochin should go home too! I won’t leave here without you!”
“You’re such a brat, Tomo! I don’t care anymore!”
She went inside her car and immediately drove away. She left me alone. Again.
“What a scene! Lover’s quarrel at the parking lot.”
Sae said as she and Sayaka appeared from behind.
“No time joking around, Sae. Think first of how we could get home now! It's late!” Sayaka told her.
“It’s the first time Tomochin forgot about us.” Sae pouted.
“I’ll drive you both home, since it’s my fault why she left. Hop in!” I offered.
“Woah.. nice car, Tomo~mi!” Sae was amazed as they got inside.
"Thanks. Our company deals with automotive interior designs." I explained.
"So where do you guys live?"
“Just dropped us at Sayaka’s apartment.” Sae answered.
“Eh? W-Why my apartment?” Sayaka refused.
“It’s already late and my place is out of the way. I don’t want to trouble Tomo~mi driving me all the way there. Do you want me to go home by myself?”
Sae looked at her with puppy eyes.
“Fine. You can stay for the night.” Sayaka hesitated but agreed in the end.
“Yay! Sayaka is the best!” She attempted to hug her but she was blocked off.
"Ano.. I just want to know. Is something happened at your birthday? Tomochin isn’t telling us anything. She acts different since that day.” Sayaka asked.
I kept silent. How can I possibly tell them that I harrassed their friend?
“I’m sorry. I’m at fault.”
“Daijou~bu! Whatever the reason is, my vote is still on Tomo~mi’s side!” Sae said.
I hope I'm worthy of the trust they're giving me.
"Oh, you may pull the car over here." We arrived at Sayaka's place.
"Thanks for dropping us home! Please take care, Tomo~mi! See you again."
They waved goodbye after they got off the car. Tomochin has really nice friends.
Finally, I drive myself home. As I reached my place, I saw a car parked infront.
Isn't that Tomochin's car? I looked inside, it's empty. Maybe it's just similar to hers.
I got off and started to climb upstairs. Then I was surprised.
I can't believe what my eyes are seeing now...
“It's freezing out here.. what took you so long?”
S-She’s here??? Tomochin's waiting for me outside my apartment...
TBCshotaro & philip... does anyone here know where i got these names?
