Sebastian
Rena slightly bent down and opened the mini fridge which was under the table. Inside it were a couple of wine bottles and cubes of ice. She took a bottle out and closed the fridge. She then pressed a button under the table and a concealed department on the other side of the table opened, revealing a couple of wine glasses. She took two of them out and placed them on the table. While she was struggling to open the bottle I told
"Should you really be drinking wine at this age and that to right before going to school?"
She looked at me with an annoyed expression and said
"Huh!? As if I'd drink wine when I can't even handle carbonated drinks! This is just apple cider! I was going to give you some since you seemed thirsty but because of that comment I'm not giving you any! Hmph!"
"S-Sure"
Quite feisty isn't she?
She continued trying to open the bottle but it seemed to be closed real tight since she was really struggling to open it. I reached out my hand and said
"Want me to give you a hand?"
"I can do this by myself!" Said Rena as she pulled the bottle back
With her continuous attempts to open the bottle with her bare hands which is usually opened with a cork-screw, her palms started to become red with blisters and she was giving a anguished expression
Just how stubborn is she?
"*Sigh* Give me that"
"Ah-"
It was too pitiful to watch, so I quicky yanked the bottle out her hand and twisted the cork open before she could utter a word. She was surprised I opened the bottle that quickly and crossed her hands and leaned back on the seat and told...
"Y-You only opened the bottle because I loosened it up for you. D-Don't think you've won this match"
...as if she gave me the victory. Since when were we playing a game?
"Now pour some for both of us I'm really thirsty"
What happened to not giving me any?
Once I poured the juice into the glasses, Rena quickly took her glass and had sip. She gave a face of delight and said
"Delicious! As expected of 52 year old beverage"
!
"52 years old?" I said with a look of shock on my face
"Yeah, I got it imported from Italy! They only sell it in limited stock, so I'm really lucky to get some"
I looked at the bottle and wondered how expensive it was
"Stop staring and drink it already, it's really good" Said Rena with a excited expression
She looked like someone trying to recommended their favorite movie or game to their friend, so that he to can get into it. I took the glass and drank the whole thing in one gulp
"So how was it?" She said in anticipation
She looked pretty excited to know my answer. But sorry for her I couldn't really taste it properly as I was only thinking that, I was drinking a lot of money
"Ahhh-…It was really good" I said trying to keep a straight face so that she doesn't see through my lie. She gave a big smile and said
"I knew you would like it!"
Oh come on! Don't show a innocent smile like that. Now I feel bad about lying to you. Although I'm not low on cash, rather I have a ton of it, most of it is in the form of investments and stocks I've been managing since I was 6 years old. And I don't really buy stuff for myself so I just can't get used to the luxurious treatment I'm getting. I'd rather prefer something more humble which doesn't make me uncomfortable. After she gave a satisfied look after she finished her drink I asked her
"So, how did you find me?"
She put the glass on the table and leaned back on the seat and said
"Complete coincidence. I was on my way to school and I saw a familiar looking back walking aimlessly. I guessed it was you and stopped to say hi but you greeted me with that evil grin"
Evil grin?....Oh! She's talking about the smile of excitement I gave when I thought I was going to massacre the people inside her car...Figures
"I know you normally look scary but this time you were looking at me as if you were out for blood. Even Sebastian got scared when he saw you" Said Rena while staring at me as if she wanted to know why I was smiling like that
Well I was out for blood so my face is justified but-…..Hmm? Sebastian?
"Who's Sebastian?"
