First off:
HAPPY WHATEVER YOU CALL IT DAY!!! Seriously, whatever you call it, just be happy it's a day.
My replies to commenters!@dee1711: No I wasn't kidding when I say that it does take me an hour to reply to the comments.
Sometimes it takes me two hours to write replies. But, it's worth it anyway.
Sorry you had to endure the waiting though at that time.
Anyway, take care of yourself now dee1711-san. Don't overwork too much. Thanks for reading and commenting!
@yanouchi-san: Yeah I sort of imagined the readers being frustrated about the previous chap. I know, this one would end up in frustrations as well.
I'm not entirely sure it'll be 7 chapters. With me writing and taking my time with the story, I'd bet it'll be longer.
I'm glad it made your heart doki doki then. I write fluff in BC just for that purpose alone.
Oh and that gif...
Honestly, I've noticed Haruna doing that back then.
Thanks for reading and commenting! And yeah, I'll try to keep my mood up.
@Tejinashi: How perceptive of you.
But yeah, I'm keeping that person a secret for now. She'll definitely make an appearance soon anyway. For drama's sake.
Oh and about Yukarin? I'm impressed. Actually when I wrote that, Yukarin was exactly the person I was thinking.
Don't worry, she'll make an appearance as well in BC. Like I said in the beginning, this is really a predictable story. But, I think I can pull a couple of surprises here and there.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
@Yuki88: I'm glad it made your heart doki doki!
It's nice to know that people get to feel something in what I write. Makes me feel that I made a good job then. Yey!
Now that you mention it, it does seem that Mariko is heading towards being a tsundere huh.
And lol at the 'Now kiss.'
Though, this chapter would probably make you say that again.
Most probably in bold and capitalized letters.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
@RJay: Well with them having their finals, the study date seemed like a pretty good idea. Though, like Mariko said, it is pretty weird for their first date.
That person will appear soon. No clues.
And lol at the 'just kiss her already.' That previous chap is definitely a frustrating one.
Wow, when I read today that you wrote holidays, I just realized that it has been almost a month since I updated this.
And yes, life is definitely hard. But hang in there! You can do it!
Ahh, Kuu, how did he became the antagonist this time.
But, I guess someone has to do it.
Since Miichan and him are different people, yeah, he can be the bad guy.
Sae and Sayaka going retarded Nemo.
Thanks for reading and commenting! Good luck on your studies!
@fffff: Your comment atually made me laugh. So I don't think it sucked.
The word marvellous, I'm starting to like it as well. I mean, I can actually imagine that in the tone of Mr. Burn with the evil eyes and the moving of the fingers. And instead of saying his usual 'Excellent' word, he's saying 'Marvellous.' :lmao: Oh, I'm actually babbling nonsense right now, huh.
Anyway, be it short or long comment, it doesn't suck to me.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
@flameeyes: Ah, flameeyes-san, is your eyes still aflame these days? If it is or not, take it easy. Recovery takes time. All wounds heal.
And yes, that space is yours forever, though I don't think you remembered it.
Take care of yourself now. And to fight or not to fight? I'll support whatever.
Thanks for reading and saving your space!
@Nyx: Your heated compliment definitely made me laugh.
I sure hope you don't read this in a public place now. I don't want to be the cause of strangers gazing at you looking like you're some kind of monkey with castanets laughing like a maniac. I actually experienced that as well.
You have a lot of patience? Good to know!
Because the would be chapters wherein you'd end up frustrated.
Thanks for the goodluck! Right back at you.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
@steftakami: Ah, TakaTomo. In real life, will there be anymore cuteness between them like in the Request Hour 2013? Their time together seemed to be so short now. Sad. TT~TT Anyway, that aside, I'll try to bring more TakaTomo moments here in BC. Though right now, in this chapter, there aren't any.
. Anyway, Thanks for reading and commenting!
@lovemariharu: Actually, that 'someday' means I'll update after a month.
Kidding!
Library dating seems to be obligatory when you're in college...I think.
Oh, a test. I hope you did well then last month.
And yeah, I get what you mean about being a busy body last month.
And I'm glad that no matter how busy you are, you'd still have time to read this. It's flattering.
Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting.
I'll try to update not later than someday.
@Suicchin: I know that feeling that something so cute, it hurts.
You wait for the new chapter like waiting for a new episode of an anime? Wow. That's flattering on my part. Though I have to apologize that I seem to be much slower on the update than a new released episode of an anime.
I don't think it takes them a month to release a new episode.
Things are definitely going to develop in a whole different level between those two. I'm trying to bring it up in the highest level.
I'm glad you like that TakaTomo bit. I did realize that those two were suddenly gone from this story, so I decided to include them there. The other crazies having relationship? Hmmm, I honestly don't know. I'll think about it.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
@kahem: I would most probably do rofl when I see you do that. Or I could join in with the 'fuck yeah' as well. Honestly, it could be both.
The PV would definitely do its thing and spread within Mariko and hopefully, with Haruna as well.
Takamina dense. Somehow that seems to be how she is portrayed mostly huh.
Oh, jealous Mariko? I do plan on doing that just to mess things up a bit on Mariko's feelings.
You want to let your mind in the gutter now? By all means, do so.
Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting!
@KojiYuu44: Thanks for thinking that the previous chap was nice. Greatly appreciated.
And lol at the fancy date. I actually thought of doing that, but I opted with something simple. The fancy dinner can probably wait after a couple of chapters.
Yeah, I get the frustration about Mariko, but then her hesitations seem to outweigh her feelings. I guess in someway, it isn't strong enough to make her want to do such things. And thus the frustatingly waiting continues.
Thank you for willing to wait patiently. It means a lot.
THanks for reading and commenting!
@O r i g a m i: Thanks for thinking Bitten is awesome then.
And yeah, I'm not going to forget BC. I'm going to finish this whether I like it or not!
Kidding. The part wherein I say 'i like it or not' not the part about finishing it.
But yeah, not going to forget. And I will most probably take my time.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
@Chichay12: I take it you liked Bitten then? If you did, thanks!
And yeah, like I said to O r i g a m i-san, I'm not going to forget updating this. Though about the waiting not to long part. I hope it won't take long. For both my sake and the readers sake.
Anyway, thanks for reading and commenting!
@masokun: lol at the footprint.
The one of a kind comfort style of Mariko
Like you, I like them having that semi-friendhip thing. Though there's a part wherein I want Tomochin to join in the gang. I mean, two Scrooge's is just
Oh, that last part huh. Believe me, when I was writing that, I blushed.
I guess I got caught up with it too.
And there's frustration in you as well about the lack of kissage.
This chap will probably be the same.
Aww, shucks. I'm glad I can make you feel better on your tiring day.
And yup, I'll take my time. Hopefully not too long though.
Thanks for reading and commenting!
To the silent readers and thank you pressers, I thank you as well. 
As usual, I warn!
This is fiction. If I ever offend someone, please feel free to tell me. Wow, it's been a month huh.
Well, when you think about it, it's not really a month since I did post something a couple of weeks ago.
So yeah, I just finished this chap which composes of just random babbling with little progression. Definitely a filler chap. Sorry about that.
Though I think this is the longest chap I've ever made. I think.
Anyway, I will make it up in the next chapter for sure.
Until then, try to enjoy!
No seriously, just try.

Chapter 18: It’s All in the Lips (Part 1)Do you know that there are two kinds of intimacy?
Emotional and Physical intimacy. You know about that, right?
It’s pretty much self-explanatory, really. Emotional intimacy is when you share crap to each other. Your ups, your downs, your left, your right; north, south, east, west. It’s like a compass of your feelings really. Whoever the arrow points to, he or she gets to share stuff to the other person and vice versa. Hmmm, that actually sounded like that spin the bottle game huh. Oh well, you get it anyway.
Next is physical intimacy. It includes hand holding, hugging, kissing, cuddling and all that ING ending words that is said to be essential in a romantic relationship that would eventually lead to your favorite ING, the NC-17 rating or maybe sexing. If of course, there is such a word as sexing. If there isn’t such a word, then go with the NC-17 rating then since it fits the ING ending words anyway.
So yeah, emotional and physical intimacy.
Honestly, a part of me thinks these two go hand in hand together and are a definite prerequisite in order to have a healthy, doki doki relationship. You see, if a person is emotionally committed to you, chances are, it’ll lead to physical intimacy. This could be said to any type of relationship as well, but let’s just go with the doki doki relationship.
Okay so, they go hand in hand, right? But did you know that the subtle physical intimacy you do to your partner, leads you to your favorite ING word ever?
Let me elaborate on that then. You see, a simple brush of your skin against their hand would lead to hand holding. That hand holding would lead to hugging. The latter would lead to kissing. Then, of course, it’ll lead to heavy petting. And then, finally, after much of the foreplay you’ve been through, much of the endless teasings you have to endure, it’ll lead to the NC-17 rating or sexing. Again, if there is such a word as sexing. I believe this is what a normal romantic relationship is all about. Of course, since I haven’t had a relationship before, I could only compare these to those cringe delight movies that I was forced to watch. Just watching it for a few minutes together with my mom and Miichan, I could easily tell that the two protagonists are heading there.
What’s my point here you ask? Why am I lecturing you with these crap?
Well, I did say that ‘a part of me’ thinks all that. But then there’s a part of me that wonders after thinking these thoughts.
I wonder, can a romantic relationship work without physical intimacy?
…Oh I’m sorry. Did I just kill you with my question? Because you’re looking at me weirdly now with your eyes almost popping out of its sockets, your mouth open and you’re just there…unmoving. It’s kinda creeping me out. So, if you want me to call someone and make you snap out of it I would—
Oh so you’re fine and now asking me if I’m crazy because to you, I’m asking a stupid question. Well it’s good to know you’re fine, because I would’ve had a hard time explaining to the police what happened if I did killed you by my question. But it still doesn’t change the fact that you’re creeping me out right now with the eyes. Seriously, put them back on.
So anyway, moving on— since your eyes seems to be back in its place—let’s go back to my question. And no, it isn’t a stupid question.
Hmm? Am I against kissing, hugging, cuddling and all that ING ending words?
No. I’m not against those. Okay, I think I get why you’re thinking it’s a stupid question. Let me rephrase my question then so you wouldn’t be so freaked out about it and you’d be all normal and perverted again. Let me ask you then.
Can a relationship work without sex?
Oh so now you’re grinning. Yup, you see, this is normal. Now you see where this is heading huh. Wrong! Geez. This discussion isn’t going lead us to the NC-17 rating. Let’s keep it in a decent rating for now. And no I’m not going to elaborate more on the ‘for now.’ So just shut it since I’m trying to point out something.
Okay so yeah. Relationship. Sex. Do we need it?
It depends on the need of the person and the couple, right? I mean, it could be that to your partner, it is important, and with you wanting your partner to be happy, you indulge with their wish and have sex with them. Could be that it isn’t that important to both of you and that that the important thing is that you two are all doki doki to each other forever. It really does depend on what kind of person you two are. Honestly, for me, I can totally see the sexless relationship happening.
Am I against sex that much, you ask?
No, I’m not against sex at all. I mean, I’m created through sex you know, much like any other person or even animals, or maybe even other living things for that matter. Oh, don’t give me that grossed out look. Like your parents didn’t create you through sex. Psh. We’re all created through sex. Except of course, the organisms that reproduce asexually, but then, maybe they do have sex as well by themselves huh. So maybe—oh right. Getting out of topic again. Anyway, again, I’m not against sex or any other physical intimacy there is. I mean, why would I hate something that created me, right?
Does that mean I can let Haruna do whatever she wants?
Well, she’s pretty much free to do whatever she wants to me.
Does that invitation include perverted stuff, you ask?
Somehow, I knew you were going to ask that. Tch. But to answer your question, for her, yeah sure. Honestly, I’d like to see her try. So there. You can get your mind in the gutter now and bring on your massive grinning face and eyebrow wiggling if you want. But c’mon, let’s be realistic here. Do you really think she has the guts to do perverted things to me? Will Haruna, a.k.a Betty; the goody-goody, self-proclaimed nun, become a bad assed self-proclaimed pervert or maniac towards me?
Yeah, I have a hard time imagining it. But like I said, I’d like to see her try. I’ll even cheer for her internally to release that animalistic desire she has and ravish me whenever and wherever she wants. If, of course, she has one. But then, it makes you remember what they say about the quiet ones you know.
They say the quiet ones can surprise you the most.
Doesn’t that apply to me as well, you ask? Since I am sort of quiet as well?
Well, of course. I mean, by now, you should know the answer to that, right? Given how I was and am right now, remembering all that...
...aren’t I full of surprises as well?
---
“Hi Kojima-san!” Was the Sexytary’s bright greeting, surprising me as she rests her hands on my shoulder. She presses her body against my back as she leaned to look at my phone over my shoulder. “Hmm? Kojima-san doesn’t seem to be moving there. It’s like she’s stuck giving you an awkward kiss. Bad connection?” She added before I can close my phone or even throw it against the wall and wreck it to damn pieces. Ugh.
“Wh-Where the hell did you come from?” I asked with a scowl as I moved away from her, feeling my face heated at being caught staring at Haruna’s picture. Okay so I haven’t been caught since the Sexytary here thinks we’re video calling. But then again, I don’t know what’s worse. Her thinking that I was video calling Haruna who looked like she was giving me an awkward kiss? Or her finding out that I have a picture of Haruna who looked like she was giving me an awkward kiss? Huh. Both seem to be equal in the disturbing area despite the latter being the truth. Oh and yes, stop with the grinning will you? As always, it’s creeping me out. Tch.
She pointed behind her with her head cocked to the side as she answered nonchalantly, “At the back door.”
“Why are you using the back door?”
“Because I don’t want to use the front door?” She shrugged as she gave me a smirk. Great. Sarcasm. How I loathe thee right now.
“Cute. Real cute.” I mumbled as I rolled my eyes. Shaking my head, I closed my phone and subtly placed it back inside my pocket. Hopefully, with my phone out of the way, she won’t bother to—
“You and Kojima-san seem to be going oh so smoothly, eh?” She teased, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively as she grinned at me. “Calling each other and being all coupley. So cute.”
Okay so it’s too late for her not to bother with the questioning then. Great.
“We’re not calling each other. She doesn’t even have a phone.” I grumbled as I made my way back to the counter to resume my goody goody deed earlier of cleaning the glasses. Yeah, I was cleaning it a little while ago just because I thought they look a bit dirty. That and well…I was kinda bored. Yeah, I know it is a weird way to pass the time, but meh, still did it.
Anyway, so yeah, I decided to do a good deed while waiting, that is of course until my mind began to wander that I ended up looking at Haruna’s picture again. And no, I wasn’t looking at her picture for perversion sake. I was looking at it curiously, wondering if I would feel that urge to kiss her again if I saw it. Thankfully, I didn’t feel anything. Hmmm, now that I think about it, even after that weird study date, whenever I saw her biting her lip, I didn’t feel anything. And yes, I was looking at her lip a whole lot after that. It was out of curiosity mind you. Though I think she notices the unsubtle stares I’m giving her since she would blush profusely whenever she sees me looking at her. I couldn’t care less about her knowing anyway. Hey, she’s my girlfriend now, so I’m allowed to stare at her whenever I want.
You’re questioning if it means that I can stare at her WHEREVER I want as well?
I’ll reply to your question with the usual; Mind out of the gutter please. Geez.
I see the Sexytary through the corner of my eye moving towards the counter as she holds her planner against her chest. “Say that again? Because I think I misheard you saying that Kojima-san doesn’t have a phone.” She said confusedly as she sat at the stool on the other side of the counter right in front of me.
“I don’t need to repeat it since you heard me right.” I replied, continuing to wipe the remaining glasses clean. A moment of silence passed by us making me wonder what brought this blissful silence about. Curious as to why she wasn’t talking or even asking trivial question about Haruna’s lack of having a phone, I glanced at her and let out a sigh as she stares at me shocked, her eyes wide and mouth agape. Great. Looks like I broke her. And no, that wasn’t laced with sarcasm. I really am glad that I broke her. My tone there was laced with enthusiasm at the thought that I broke her you know.
“If I were you, I’d close my mouth since I think I saw a fly earlier.” I informed her as I began placing the clean glasses at the glass racks behind me.
“I just…wow.” I hear her say from behind me in astonishment. “Hearing someone you know not having a phone in these modernized times is just…wow.”
“So is someone saying modernized times. Ever heard of the word ‘nowadays?’” I tell her monotonously. She was silent for a moment causing me to glance at her again over my shoulder. The corner of my lips twitched, amused that I found her looking at me with narrowed eyes.
Upon seeing my eyes on her, she deadpanned, “This is for the front door comment isn’t it?” while pointing at me. I gave her a nonchalant shrug before I turned away, hiding the small smile that formed in my lips. Well, she is right. That is for the front door comment. Heh.
“So? What are you going to do about it then?” She asked me while my back is facing hers.
“Do about what?” I asked back as I placed the last glass on the rack before turning to her, crossing my arms over my chest.
“You know, about Kojima-san’s lack of phone.” She said as she looks at me incredulously, causing me to raise my eyebrow.
“Why the hell should I do something about that?”
She narrowed her eyes and her shoulder slumped forward in disappointment for a moment as she looks at me before asking rhetorically, “Are you for real?” in a bored tone.
Not really caring if it’s a rhetorical question, I decided to answer her question with my usual sarcasm. “Actually no, I’m not real. I’m just an illusion created by your imagination. Or, you could be MY figment of imagination. Could be that the two of us are just creations of someone’s fucked up mind. Either way, if you look at it, maybe the two of us aren’t real eh? We’re just two figments talking to each other like someone’s mind is on crack.” I nodded as I finished, hiding the grin that was trying to form across my face especially when she kept her narrowed eyes on me.
“Well it’s definitely not me imagining all these craziness because…no offense?” She said as she rests her chin on hand. “I wouldn’t come up with such a…unique character like you, ever. It’ll be like torturing myself and I’m not into masochism.” Her eyes sized me up from head to toe as she said the word ‘unique’ causing me to smile briefly.
“No offense taken. I’ll put that under the ‘insulting compliment’ category.” I shrugged nonchalantly.
“Right, you do that.” She replied as she shook her head. Letting out a sigh, she then added, “So? Kojima-san. No phone. You. Buy?” as she pointed at me. This time, I was the one who let out a sigh at what she was suggesting.
“I don’t get why I should buy her a phone when she can buy it herself. Plus, I don’t think she needs it.” True that. I’m pretty sure she has some money stashed somewhere. I mean, she’s been working for that Squirrel for months now. With that said, why the hell should I buy her a phone when she’s capable of buying it herself, right? And really, Haruna doesn’t need a phone. If she survived not having a phone in the past, she can survive not having a phone right now. See my point? No? I would’ve never guessed what with you glaring at me like that and all. Really now. Psh. Whatever.
“She needs a phone. How can she send you a message and ask you, ‘Where are you?’, ‘What are you doing?’, ‘Are you eating well?’ and all that coupley sweet message if she doesn’t have a phone?” She pointed out as she mimicked some sick, annoying, whiney girl with creepy vibes as she asked those coupley ‘sweet’ messages. The quotation mark on the word ‘sweet’ is definitely needed as I seriously don’t know if those are really considered sweet messages. Her tone made me think of Creepy and Crazy Psycho. The words and the two crazies, mind you.
“She doesn’t need to know all that. Those are like, my mom’s messages to me by the way. Wouldn’t it be creepy if she texted me that?” I retorted as I cocked my head to the side. Would it?
She rolled her eyes and shook her head. “What about when she wants to just simply say that she misses you? What about that? If she had a phone, she could easily call you and say, ‘I miss you, Mariko. Come home soon because your side of the bed is getting cold and I want my warm snuggles, my snuggle bunny.’” She said while she blinks her eyes flirtily, trying to imitate Haruna’s voice that made me cringe at its wrongness. It’s hard to explain what she sounded like so just go with how fucked up wrong it was. Seriously, seriously wrong. Puke worthy especially that snuggle bunny bit. Gahhh and a bunch of ugh.
“A friendly advice? Don’t ever do that again.” I tell her with a grossed out face. “My respect points for you just went negative just because of that. Seriously.” Did I mention that it was puke worthy? Oh I did? Yeah, I just want to remind you again. Seriously, puke worthy.
She let out a chuckle then shook her head, smiling. “Look, all I’m saying is that you should buy her nice things. And buying her a phone is DEFINITELY a nice thing. It’s probably the nicest thing you could give her besides taking her shopping.” She said, her eyes narrowed down in suspicion at that last bit. I could only roll my eyes and look away at that, which prompted her to let out a sigh.
“Just buy her a phone and be a good girlfriend, okay? Don’t be such a S—“ She cuts herself off, probably noticing what she was about to say. Glancing at her through the corner of my eye, I found her frowning faintly at me as she says, “Oh right. You are Scrooge. Somehow, remembering that makes sense.”
I watch her curiously as she then stood up and began circling the bar while she pulls out her wallet. She held out a couple of money as she stood in front of me. “Here, I’m even willing to give you some money to buy your girlfriend a phone for your sake since you’re so Scrooge about it.” Not wanting to wait for my reply, she took my hand and placed the money in my hand.
“Don’t Scrooge it up.” She said with a wink before leaving me to raise my eyebrow at the money in my hand while she heads at the back. I didn’t say I didn’t have money to buy Haruna a phone and yet…meh. I’ll probably use this money to invite her out to dinner or something. Like I said, Haruna doesn’t need a phone.
With that thought, I was about to place the Sexytary’s charity money inside my pocket when the door suddenly opened and revealed my other co-worker, Snorlax.
“Second one?” She asks as she closed the door.
“Last one. The Sexytary’s at the back.” I informed her while pointing behind me. A thought suddenly came to my mind as I watch her remove her jacket and scarf. Internally grinning evilly, I picked up a jar from below, opened it and placed the charity money the Sexytary gave me inside. Before Snorlax heads towards the back room to place her things, I moved in front of her and held out the opened jar.
“What’s that?” She asks as she looked at it confusedly.
“It’s for the ‘Buy Haruna A Phone Foundation.’” I said, shaking it slightly as I hold it tightly by its rim. “Any amount is greatly appreciated.”
“Oh.” Was her short reply before she began rummaging her bag, probably looking for her wallet. Well…that was easy and a bit disappointing. Not even going to ask why she’s sort of being forced to give money huh. I would’ve expected that to Crazy Psycho, but Snorlax? Nope. I consider this Pokemon smart, you know. Just a little bit though because she does have her idiotic moments here and there. But seeing her now looking at her wallet? Maybe I should reconsider that thought of her being a bit smart.
“Here.” She held out a bill then placed it inside the jar.
“Cheapskate.” I muttered as I narrowed my eyes at it.
“Yeah well, she’s not MY girlfriend.” She grinned as she took a side step away from me and headed towards the open doorway that leads to the kitchen and the backroom. I couldn’t help but roll my eyes as she added, “Oh and it took you long enough to think about giving her a phone! Scrooge!” before she opened and closed the door. Hmmm. I might not reconsider that that thought about her being smart. But then, she still gave me money so…I’ll give her a ‘maybe she’s a smart Pokemon.’ Well that or she’s nice.
…Nah. I’ll just go with the previous one rather than the latter.
“See? Even Sayaka thinks so.” I hear the Sexytary say as the door of the back room opened again and closed, her heels echoing from behind. I let out a sigh and placed the jar on the counter as she appears from the doorway, smiling as she holds her planner against her well-endowed chest.
“Like you two ever disagree on anything. It’s like you two do that just to torture me.” I muttered. True story. Ever since these two met, they’ve like formed an alliance hell bent on pointing out needless things about my life and how I should live it positively along with the rainbows, the butterflies and the unicorns prancing around like they're on Crackland hitting joints with their fucked up smiles and—Oh…right. Getting WAY off the topic huh. But, you get it. These two are always ‘Boo Mariko’ really.
“We’re not torturing you.” Sexytary says as she walks to me. She then placed her hand on my shoulder, patting it gently. “We’re merely helping you become more human because you have a girlfriend now. I’m sure Kojima-san would appreciate it rather than have a soulless, unromantic girlfriend.”
“I wouldn’t call her unromantic, Yuki.” Snorlax suddenly says as she appears from the door way, leaning at it as she crossed her arms over her chest. “Despite how she is, Scrooge here can be pretty romantic, you know. You should have seen her defend her girlfriend. Brought me chills all over.” She recalled, wearing a teasing grin as she looks at me.
I could only respond by rolling my eyes and looking away as I crossed my arms over my chest, scowling at the memory that the crazies were there when that happened. It’s just…disturbing you know. I just want my Haruna moments to stay between us. Or rather, between me, Haruna and Crazy Psycho, because Miichan is pretty relentless when it comes to my current relationship with her BARF or…something about…an acronym about top best friend status. Can’t remember the acronym really. But anyway, of course I don’t tell her the disturbing and odd moments I have with Haruna. Example of that? The perversion virus aka PV. Yeah, I have no intention of telling her that. For now.
Why 'for now' you ask?
Well let’s just say, I’m keeping an open mind to tell her about it just in case I needed some advice. Hell knows I need it.
“Oh, you mean her confrontation with Kuu-kun? I heard about that from Miichan. Pity I didn’t see it though.” I hear the Sexytary say, probably grinning at me. I let out a sigh and turned to look at them with indifference. Yup, the two of them are grinning at me with teasing glint in their eyes. Well, Snorlax didn’t last long with the grinning though since a thought suddenly dawned to her after a moment.
She frowned slightly, her eyes up as if thinking. “Now that you mention it, that Kuu-kun is the son of the founder of the Maruyama Group Inc. right? One of the richest man in Japan.” She then cocked her head to the side and looked at us as she asks, “I know Kashiwagi-san worked at the Maruyama Group as their secretary previously, before the Maruyama Group bought this place. But you, Miichan and Saito-san seem to know…this Kuu-kun personally. How do you guys know someone like him?” keeping the slight frown on her face as she looks at me.
Uh-oh.
I glanced at the Sexytary who glanced back, looking a bit nervous. After I gave her my usual eye roll and a nonchalant shrug, she turned to Snorlax, giving her a nervous smile. “Uh…mutual friend?” She tells her, unsure.
“Why am I not surprised by that?” Snorlax says as she let out a sigh and shook her head, walking towards us. She stopped beside Sexytary, the corner of her lip curved down.
“Because that excuse has been shoved into your face since the beginning?” I replied in a half question and half answer tone.
The Sexytary whipped her head around and gave me a glare. “Mariko!” She chided which I only responded with a shrug. It’s not like it’s not true. The whole ‘we have a mutual rich friend that is basically your friend as well but we can’t say that to you for now because it wouldn’t be right’ excuse is really getting old. Seriously, there are times when I pity Snorlax and Creepy for being kept in the dark. And well, that coming from me, it says a lot, you know.
“Well, she is right.” Snorlax nodded with a sigh then turned to the Sexytary. “But then, with today’s big meeting, that’ll change huh? I mean, you did say that the Manager would be here to discuss things. The Manager, whom I assume is THE mutual friend.”
“Right. The big meeting.” I muttered as I circled around the bar and sat down at a stool, resting my chin on my hand as I looked boredly at them. “How many times have we had this…big meeting only to be postponed night after night again?”
The Sexytary let out a sigh and placed her planner notebook on the counter. She rests both her hands on the counter, her eyes locked on it as a frown formed across her face. “He or she will be here this time since…there’s sort of a competition going on around.”
“A…competition?” Snorlax raised her eyebrow. My thoughts exactly as I clenched my jaw tight. I glanced at the Sexytary who has her eyes narrowed now as she pushed her glasses up on the bridge of her nose. Hmmm. Why do I have a feeling that this competition thing has something to do with the sudden appearance of the Suck-Up?
The sudden soft knock on the door awakened us from our musings. Frowning slightly, I glanced at it over my shoulder. Hmm?
“Well, speaking of the Manager…” Snorlax trailed.
“I don’t think so.” I hear the Sexytary say. Turning back at them, I found her looking confusedly at the door. “As far as I know, the Manager doesn’t knock. Ever.”
Well, she got that right. That girl never really knocks when she enters my dorm room or even any other room for that matter. She usually lacks…manners, really. But sometimes, she has them, you know. She does display a remarkable amount of etiquette when it comes to ‘hot, steamy and drool worthy’ ladies. Her words, not mine. But then, after a while, that amount of etiquette would border towards sexual harassment as she would hit on them like a perverse old man would. Being her so called ‘wingman’ it was my job to calm the poor girl before she calls the police.
Pretty nice of me huh.
Yeah, it is pretty nice of me to explain to every girl she hits on that Crazy Psycho is suffering from a personality disorder that makes her very flirtatious towards women. I think that disorder was called HPD or something. Works every time. Oh so now you’re retracting your earlier praise about me being nice. Tch. Whatever.
The soft knock came again.
“Maybe it’s just a customer, unable to read the bold and capitalized lettered sign that says, ‘CLOSED’ that is plastered on the door.” I sighed as I shook my head.
“Only one way to find out, eh Mariko?”
“Are you suggesting what I think you’re suggesting?” I raised my eyebrow at Snorlax. “Surely you jest.”
“Well, between the three of us, you are nearer to the door.” The Sexytary reasoned, smiling.
“And that’s two out of three. You know the rules. Majority wins.” Snorlax grinned then waved her hand in a brush off manner. “Carry on now.”
“Majority wins? What are you 7?”
“Just open the door.” They say simultaneously as they both let out an exasperated sigh. See what I was talking about earlier? About them forming an alliance on making me suffer. Did I tell you how much it sucks? No? Well I’m telling it now. It sucks. So much.
I stood up from my seat, grumbling about Big Boobed Pokemons which…honestly weirded me out for a moment. Shaking that mental image of a Pokemon Snorlax with big boobs, I grabbed the doorknob, turned it and pulled it open with a frown. The frown on my face was short lived as I stared shocked at the person I revealed behind the door.
What is she…?
“H-hey.” Was her soft, short yet warm greeting as she smiles at me, her breath forming a small fog in front of her.
“Haruna? Wh-what are you—“
“I’m here as well Prince!” Was the chirpy reply of the Creepy person behind Haruna, waving her hand ecstatically as she smiles widely at me. I acknowledge her for a moment by raising my eyebrow then turned back to Haruna who looked to be freezing from the cold as I saw her pale lips trembling a bit. But despite the cold she feels, her smile and eyes stayed warm as she looks at me.
Her eyes were nowhere near as cold as she felt.
“Come inside.” I said as I took a side step, holding the door open for her. Oh, I mean them of course. Okay so I momentarily forgot about Creepy being there as well. Thankfully she didn’t notice that I was about to close the door before she could enter or else she’d sulk about it later on. Can’t have that now can we? And yeah I know. How bitchy of me to forget about her. But the keyword there is ‘momentarily’ you know. Psh.
“Haruna and Sae, what are you guys doing here?” Snorlax asks as she rounded the bar, heading towards the two who were busy removing their winter clothes. I frowned slightly, worried as I watch Haruna from the corner of my eye removing her coat and scarf, her only defense against the cold climate. After she placed her things on top of a table, she then began to rub her pale looking hands together to keep them warm. Without thinking, I moved towards her and surprised her by grabbing both her hands and rubbing them against mine.
“You should have told me you don’t have gloves. I have a spare back at the dorm.” I tell her softly as I let out an exasperated sigh, keeping my eyes locked on her cold hands, still rubbing them against mine. She in turn surprised me as she stopped me from warming her hands by grabbing both of them against hers and squeezing it softly.
“I-it’s okay. You always make me f-feel…warm anyway.” She confessed softly. Slowly, my eyes made its way to hers. I wasn’t surprised to find her blushing, a shy smile across her lips that seemed to have returned in its natural color. I stared at her for a while feeling a bit stunned at her bold yet sappy statement, my lips parted slightly. A moment later, a small smile crosses my lips as I squeezed her hands back. What she said was sweet, yet again sappy and well, much like her…
…I feel warm as well with her here.
“Well watching the two of you makes me feel warm to the point that I just want to take all my clothes off.” Creepy suddenly said as she fans herself with her hand as she looks at us in admiration, breaking our moment that I was internally berating myself for since I seem to have forgotten about the crazies around me. Ugh. Great. Let the torturous teasing begin. Another ugh for that.
“Same here. But not to the point wherein I want to take my clothes off like Creepy here.” Snorlax nodded with a grin as she pointed at Creepy who scowled at her nickname.
“I take back what I said about you being unromantic, Mariko.” I hear the Sexytary say behind me, probably grinning as well. “But you know, I have this weird feeling that I should give you two some privacy and yet, I can’t seem to look away. The cuteness between the two of you is just so damn high.” She said before letting out a chuckle, seemingly laughing at her own joke.
Rolling my eyes, I reluctantly removed my hold on Haruna’s hands and faced the giggling Sexytary, giving her my look of disinterest as I crossed my arms over my chest. I definitely need to make a mental note on not to lose focus whenever Haruna is around. Or better yet, kill the crazies while they sleep to make the world a better place for me to live in. Hmm, not a bad mental note there huh. But then again, I think I’ve had that mental note since…forever. Oh well, mental note turning into wishful thinking then since I'm pretty sure it won't happen.
“I know what you mean there…uh…?” Creepy trailed as she turned to look at the Sexytary, frowning slightly. The Sexytary looked back at her, blinking a few times with a small smile. Oh yeah, these two haven’t met yet, huh. Well I’m not going to introduce them to each other since…I’m having a hard time remembering Creepy’s real name. Oh don’t give me that look. Like THAT’S surprising. Psh.
So yeah, Snorlax decided to introduce the two to each other only after receiving a nudge and a pointed look from Creepy that is. Yeah, she was pretty slow on the uptake about the fact that the Sexytary and Creepy hadn’t meet before. Anyway, after the whole introduction and needless pleasantries between the two...
“So Kashiwagi-san, what’s your given nickname from the Prince?” Creepy asks as she sat on the stool in front of the Sexytary.
“Mariko’s nickname? She calls me the Big Boobed Secretary.”
“Sexytary.” I corrected boredly which prompted a grin across her face.
“Right. Sexytary then.” She nodded her head. I couldn’t help but frown slightly at her grinning face, wondering if she did that on purpose just so I could correct her. Hmmm. By how wide she’s grinning at me, yeah I’m inclined to think so. Meh, whatever. It’s true anyway.
“Big Boobed Sexytary, why would—?“ Creepy cuts herself off as her eyes made its way to the Sexytary’s chest, her eyes widening slightly. “Oohhh.” She nodded, moaning in realization as she stares at the other woman’s chest in amazement.
“Just so you know, her nickname is Creepy Megaphonic girl. So if you ever have that Creepy vibe, it’s because of her.” I nonchalantly say, pointing at Creepy who looks to be comparing her own chest to the Sexytary as she looks at her own then at the other. Yup, creepy vibes right now. The Sexytary definitely can feel it as she blushes with an awkward smile and grabs her planner from the counter, placing it against her chest to hide under the creepy eyes of…Creepy. Oh well, she’ll get used to it.
Shaking my head with a sigh, I turned back to the person beside me who was silently watching with a small smile on her face.
“Not that I don’t like you two here and all, but…what are you guys doing here?” I asked with a slight frown.
Haruna blinked a couple of times then focused her dark brown eyes on me, keeping the small smile on her face. “Minegishi-san a-asked for us to come here earlier.”
“Actually it’s more like she BEGGED for us to come here.” Creepy added. I glanced at her and found her facing us. “Haruna came to the café with her a little while ago and she begged me to call in sick, even though I was already working and my boss was just behind me hearing every word she was saying.” She continued looking a bit weirded out as she scratches the nape of her neck. Well I’m not feeling a bit weirded out since it is Crazy Psycho and all. But I am surprised to know that Creepy here is working at a café. Oh c’mon, don’t give me that sour look. I’m just kidding. Geez.
I glanced at the Sexytary and she seemed unfazed by this information. About Miichan inviting Haruna and Creepy I mean. I guess she’s killing all birds with one big stone then. Good for her then, but…
“You should’ve told me you were coming.” I tell Haruna with a sigh. My worries for her safety still hadn’t eased up. “I could’ve walked with you.”
A blush forms across her cheeks once again as she moved her head down slightly, shyly looking up at me from under her long lashes. “Y-you were gone wh-when Minegishi-san invited me…so I c-couldn’t…“
“You could’ve just cal—“ I quickly stopped myself from going further, knowing exactly where that statement was heading. I cursed myself internally and gritted my teeth as I heard a soft chuckle from the Sexytary. Glancing at where she is, I wasn’t surprised to find her grinning from ear to ear as she holds the jar with her and Snorlax’s money up, shaking it a bit while she hold it by its rim. Snorlax threw a smirk my way as well, but quickly stopped when I glared at her. She held up her hands in defense, looking at me with amusement across her face. I walked into that myself huh. Goddamnit.
“So anyway, where is Miichan anyway?” Snorlax asks, changing the topic as she cocked her head to the side, looking at the confused Creepy who was looking at me and the Sexytary back and forth. She’s probably wondering what the hell that is about. Hell, I can even feel the person beside me staring at me as well, probably wondering the same thing. Meh, ignore to them gazes. And yes, I’ll probably talk Haruna into buying a phone now. Tch.
“She said that we should go on without her because she has to take care of something first.” Creepy answered with a shrug as she turned to Snorlax.
“Take care of something? Like wh—“
“O-Oh!” Haruna suddenly exclaimed, cutting Snorlax off. We turned to look at her as she searched for something inside her bag and pulled out a box of cookies, holding it out for us to see. “I just r-remembered I bought s-some cookies from the café a while ago.” She says with a nervous smile, her cheeks reddening slightly from the attention.
The corner of my lips were twitching as I try to restrain myself from either smiling or laughing at what she was obviously doing. I saw her glance at me for second then quickly moved back to look at the other three as she bit her lower lip, her cheeks that were tinted pink were now reddening considerably. She probably noticed the amused look that I’m giving her right now. It is kinda funny, you know. And at the same time, it’s sweet for her to do that for Crazy Psycho. Though, she really needs to work on being subtle since that performance of hers is kind of obvious.
At least, for me it is.
“Oh yeah! I brought some coffee as well.” Creepy said as she jumped off the stool and headed towards her bag. She pulled out a brown bag of coffee and held it out, grinning. “Miichan said that you guys don’t have much to drink so she told me to bring something just in case. Since the Princess bought some cookies, I just thought to bring some coffee since it goes well with it.”
“Coffee and cookies while discussing things sounds great.” The Sexytary beamed at Creepy who nodded. The Sexytary then turned to me saying, “Why don’t you and Kojima-san arrange the tables together while Miyazawa-san, Sayaka and I will brew the coffee while waiting for Miichan and the Manager to appear.”
“Sounds like a plan.” Snorlax agreed and began pushing Creepy to round the counter. Before the two pass by the Sexytary, the latter grabbed the confused Creepy and began dragging her to where the kitchen is. I frowned as I watch them, feeling a bit weirded out.
“Aren’t the three of you an overkill just to brew a pot of coffee?” I asked Snorlax before she enters the kitchen. She stopped near the open doorway and turned to me.
“Well no, because it’s our way of subtly providing you two some private time together.” She explained with a grin as she pointed at the two of us.
I glanced at the person beside me and found her blushing, her eyes on the floor. Turning back to the grinning Pokemon, I let out a short, “Oh,” the frown on my face slowly eases up at the realization of what they were doing. I seriously hadn’t realized that.
Snorlax saw this and let out a soft chuckle. “See? We’re not all about torturing you, are we?” She gave a wink then walked inside the kitchen, leaving Haruna and I alone for some…uh…private time. Surely they don’t mean that like in a perverted way, right?
…Meh, whatever.
“Shall we do this then?” I said as I looked at Haruna, giving her a small smile. Instead of looking at me, she kept her eyes on the floor and nodded her head, biting her lower lip as she does so. Shaking my head with an amused smile, I walked towards a table and grasped its edges, ready to lift it. Haruna followed suit after she placed the box of cookies on the table. She positioned herself next to me, mimicking my position, the side of her hand touching mine. I could help but chuckle at that.
“As much as I like being next to you, I think it’s better if you’re on the other side if we want to lift it correctly and without much noise.” I pointed out, grinning.
“O-oh. R-right. Sorry.” She stammered, before letting out a nervous chuckle. I watch her through the corner of my eye as she bit her lower lip with a smile and moved away, her hand brushing mine. She then positioned herself across the table right in front of me. After a shy glance on my direction, we lifted the first table and placed it in the middle. It took us a few minutes to finish the task without talking much. The atmosphere between us wasn’t weird, if that’s what you are thinking. It’s just…we seriously don’t know what we should be saying to each other right now. So we opted to just give each other shy glances and small smiles while we work. I know it’s lame, but hey, it works for me. Whether she’s talking or not, I don’t really care.
Just as long as she looks and smiles at me with warmth like she does so, I don’t care about anything else.
I took a seat on one of the chairs and she did so. I glanced at her and found her looking at her lap, her hands playing with the button of her top. Somehow, looking at her like this, I can’t help but be reminded of how she was back then. I mean, this shyness she has right now is SO Betty. It’s kinda cute, but you know…
…I think I prefer Haruna over Betty.
“W-would you like some c-cookies?” She offered, breaking the silence as she took the box in front of her, holding it up for me to see.
“Yeah, sure.” I shrugged with a small smile. I’m not really hungry and all, but I have a feeling that if I don’t take her offer, I’d go back to hearing those crickets that I was starting to hear inside my head. Crickets, that oddly enough, sounded like Crazy Psycho. Weird I know.
She smiled back and placed the box on the table in front of me. I glanced at her through the corner of my eye as she moved her chair closer to me, the side of our knees almost touching. Somehow it makes me wonder if this offer was just a way for her to move closer to me. Hmm. Oh well, whatever floats her boat. Anyway, after opening it, she leaned back on her seat and looked at me expectantly, waiting for me to take one. I indulged her silent wish as I picked one and stared at it for a moment.
“Oatmeal cookies huh.” I turned to look at her. “I like oatmeal cookies.” I tell her before taking a bite.
“Really?” She asked looking a bit surprised. I nodded my head.
“Yeah. And hey, this is delicious.” I smiled widely as I took another bite. With the other half of the cookie on my hand uneaten, I offered it to her. “Here, have some.”
She blinked a couple of times at my offered goody then looked back at me, still looking a bit surprised. I narrowed my eyes at her saying flatly, “It’s not going to eat itself, you know,” as I wiggled the piece in front of her. Somehow that brought her back from wherever her mind went as she momentarily bit her lower lip and nodded her head hesitantly. My eyebrow twitched up in interest as she then pursed her lips tight and stared at the half cookie in my hand, determination across her face. I watch her intently as she slowly moved in, opened her mouth and gently took the cookie from my hand, biting it in the middle. I pursed my lips tight, feeling a bit heated as I felt her lips softly brush against the tip of my fingers. Her lips, though I only felt it faintly against my fingers, it felt soft.
Much like how I remember it to be.
I quickly looked away, scratching my cheek as she pulled away, munching on the food I gave her.
“You’re right, it is delicious.” I hear her cheerfully say, seemingly unaware of the little accident that was making me feel a bit hot. I glanced at her and found her smiling happily at me, her cheeks doesn’t have that usual reddish coloring she has whenever she was embarrassed. I guess we’re doing that role reversal thing again since I’m the one blushing here. Goddamn PV!
“S-see? Told you.” I lamely say as I looked the other way, scratching the back of my ear, giving a forced, awkward smile. Thankfully, she didn’t notice the forced smile and the blush. Ugh. Gotta snap out of it. Focus Scrooge! Focus!
“So um…you like oatmeal cookies.” She softly said making me to glance back at her. She kept her smile on me, shyly asking, “I-is there…any other food you l-like besides oatmeal cookies..?”
A playful smile suddenly appeared across my lips at her question. I turned to look at her, feeling my idiotic side disappearing. “Why do you ask? Are you going to cook it for me?”
She kept her smile as a faint blush crosses her cheeks, her eyes downcast to her lap. “I could…try.” She says as plays with the hem of her top.
“So you can cook?”
She nodded her head, shyly looking up at me through her eyelashes. “I often cook for my Grandfather. And I-I was thinking that…m-maybe I can cook for s-someday too…?” She trailed that last bit too softly, sounding a bit unsure. Like she was asking my permission to do something she wants. Honestly, that thought disturbs me. I mean, she really doesn’t need to ask my permission if she wants to do something for me or to me. But then again, I remember my hesitations as well and well…God, we’re such a screwed up couple aren’t we? The whole shy thing and hesitations we have is just so fucked up. But, hey, baby steps, right? We’ve got plenty of time to get over that crap and get to know each other fully. I mean, obviously…
…we’ve only just begun.
“My favorite food is Curry Rice.” I tell her with a smile. “And, I’d love to eat your cooking someday.”
It felt like the room brightened considerably by the smile she gave me upon saying that. She was obviously ecstatic at what I said as she gave me a brilliant smile. I mean, just by saying something as simple as that? I seriously didn’t know it could light her up a whole lot. I guess I never realized how much effect I have on her. But then, when I think about it, I’m the same towards her as well. She affects me in a whole different way.
The kind of way, no one else can.
“Okay, free pass is over! We’re coming in now.” Creepy suddenly warned from the kitchen, making the person beside me jump obviously startled by the warning. Seeing that made me let out a small snort of amusement.
“Jumpy much?” I teased softly, earning me a pout and a small frown from her as she pushes her glasses up the bridge of her nose. How cute.
A groan of disappointment from Creepy somehow made me avert my gaze from her. Turning to look, I found Creepy standing by the open doorway, carrying a tray with three mugs and a small teapot while she wears a scowl.
“Aww men. I thought I’d see you two all jumpy, trying to fix your clothes or something.” She groaned as she walks towards us. I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest at that, ignoring the nervous squirming the person next to me is doing.
“With Mariko, I doubt you’ll be able to catch that.” Snorlax says as she came out of the kitchen, carrying a tray with two mugs on it and a small glass of container full of sugar. “You might as well be lucky that you’d get to see little bits of how romantic she is though.”
“I know that, but it would be nice to catch them making out, you know.” Creepy says with a grin, winking at me as she began unloading her tray, placing them onto the table. Despite not looking at Haruna, I have a feeling she’s blushing furiously now. Me? Nah, I’m all Scrooge right now, staring indifferently at the two. In fact…
“Snorlax is right you know.” I said, nodding my head. I then raised my eyebrow and cocked my head to the side as I added smugly, “And when Haruna and I make out? Nobody gets to watch. Ever.”
And cue dumbfounded faces from the two as they stood in front of me across the table, unmoving. The corner of my lips arched up at that. Heh. Worth it. See? I am in Scrooge mode right now. Their teasings? Don’t care right now.
“Geez Mariko, be more considerate towards your girlfriend, will you.” The Sexytary suddenly said as she walked towards us carrying a small box. She placed it on the table as she stood across Haruna who’s blushing furiously with her head downcast to her lap and her hands gripping tightly on the hem of her top.
Oh.
“Kojima-san, take it easy. You’re so…red right now. Breathe.” The Sexytary coaxed as she placed her hands on the table, leaning slightly towards my blushing girlfriend.
“I-I’m…fine. J-just…” She trailed softly as she placed her hand on her forehead. Seriously, this is the first time I’ve seen her this red before. That comment I made probably did it for her. Looking at her, I can’t help but berate myself internally for being such an ass. But then, honestly, a part of me makes me wonder if she imagined us making out since, she is blushing this much. If she did imagine it, then does that mean she has the PV on her as well and wants to…?
She glanced at me for a few seconds then quickly looked away, indulging to her usual habit of biting her lower lip. I swallowed down the sudden nervousness I felt as I continue to stare at her. It was only for a second, but that second definitely made my heart skip a beat.
Why, you ask?
Because at that moment she glanced at me, she didn’t look at me in the eye. In that few seconds, her eyes locked on a different part of my body.
My lips.
Does she…?
I shook my head, clearing the unnecessary thoughts as I hear Snorlax saying she’d get something cold from the kitchen. Once back, she held out a washcloth with some ice inside it, her eyebrows moving suggestively as she grinned at me. She was silently, yet unsubtly telling me to take care of my girlfriend. Though when I think about it, it was more like she was suggesting something perverted. I mean, that was Crazy Psycho’s perverted look you know. She invented that look. But yeah, I really shouldn’t be thinking about that now, huh. I should really be attending to my girlfriends’ needs. And no, that wasn’t laced with perversion. Geez.
Rolling my eyes, I took it and carefully placed it on Haruna’s head. She jerked back a bit from the contact.
“C-cold.” She tells me with a pout as I held it away from her.
“Well it is ice.” I smirked and placed it back on top of her head, ignoring the shiver that run through her. “It’ll help you cool off.” I tell her, the corner of my lips arched up slightly as I felt a bit amused at what had happened. She looked away still pouting as I kept my hand still, resting the icepack on top of her head. I have no doubt that she can see amusement in my eyes. I mean, even the two crazies watching looked pretty amused, you know. Well, minus Creepy that is.
Creepy cocked her head to the side, tapping her index finger against her chin as she looks at Haruna. “If the Princess blushed so much at that, I wonder how much she’ll blush if the Prince tells her she wants to have s—“
“Uh, let’s not go there, alright?” Snorlax says with a nervous smile as she silenced Creepy’s unnecessary, warped train of thought by covering her hand over Creepy’s mouth. “We don’t want to kill Haruna now, do we?”
I glanced at Haruna and yup, she’s blushing again. I let out a sigh at that.
Ugh. Goddamn Creepy.
