Chapter 98

''Let's sit over there.'' Touma pointed at a tree that was not far away from the stalls.

''Yea, sure.''

Looking around, I notice that the field began to crowd as the people began to set picnic blankets. The atmosphere began to light up as some of the people began to sing and dance with their family and friends while waiting for the firework to start.

''Miyu-san, please wait for a moment. I will ask someone to bring a picnic blanket for you to sit comfortably on the grass.'' Touma said as he was about to dial his phone.

''It's okay, Touma-san! There's no need for you to trouble someone else just for me. A real man doesn't need a picnic blanket just to sit on the ground. Look, I was just doing fine.'' I quickly sit on the grass next to the tree.

"Um...you are forgetting the 'wo' for the man, Miyu-san."

''Oh come on and have a seat over here already.'' I patted the spot next to me while I grinned at him. I never feel this excited because this was the first time that I sit on the bare grass while watching the fireworks. If my mother sees me seating down like this, I bet that she will scold me.

''You know what, Touma-san? This was the first time for me to be able to sit on this bare grass wearing yukata. If my mother saw me sitting like this, I bet that I will get scold while my father stuck his tongue at me. I remember that when I get scolded by my mother, he would just stick his tongue out, jerking at me. Pfft! I still remember how childish my father could be.'' I chuckled.

''It seems that the both of you are so close. Knowing the fact that you are having a good relation with your father, I was kinda jealous of you...'' He slightly touched his neck.

''You are jealous of me? Come on, bro! Your father is doing his best to understand you more. Do you know that your father even called me over the phone just to ask me if you prefer cheesecake or mixed fruit cake for your birthday? It was kinda hilarious when he sighed when I said you prefer blueberry cake instead.'' I laughed.

''No wonder he knows every detail about my eating habits. By the way, how do you know I was quite picky when it comes to dining?''

''Gosh, didn't you let me have dinners at your house a few times? I notice that you don't eat anything too oily and when you are eating seafood, you will make sure it was well done. I get to know this because I love to observe even tiny little details of everyone around me.''

''You kinda sound like a creepy stalker.'' He rubbed his arm against each other while giving me a weird look on his face.

''I was not a creepy stalker, I was just a little too observant.'' Pointing my index finger at him, I corrected his words to not make it sound I was a creepy one out here.

''Touma-san?'' All of a sudden a beautiful girl with dark brown hair that was tied into a bun approached us. She was wearing a pastel pink yukata that was decorated with some cherry blossom flower prints.

''Aiko-san? It was such a coincidence to meet you here.'' Touma greeted her politely.

''She is kinda familiar....but where do I saw her?'' I rubbed my double chin and started to think. Then all of a sudden, I finally recognized her.

'Oh! Maybe this is the legendary lovers scene where the girl will confess her love to the anime protagonist!! Oh, oh! I can't mess this up. I need to find an excuse so that Touma be able to continue the story plot.' My nose began to blow smoke in excitement. Then I slowly get up but Touma grabbed me by the waist, forcing me to sits on his lap.

''Where are you going, babe? Are you jealous of her?'' He smirked at me.

''What the fck you are talking—"

He closed my mouth as he draws closer to me and whisper,

''Please help me by pretending to be my girl for a moment. Please?''

At that moment, I notice that the girl began to look a bit anxious when she saw Touma was holding me close in his embrace. Then I told myself to help Touma since he has done a lot of favour for me before. Taking a deep breath, I began to show off my acting skill in front of her. Holding his chin, I push it up and said,

''Tou-kun, for sure I will be jealous when some random girl was looking for you for no reason. You wouldn't like this too when it happens to yourself, am I right, little missy?'' I glared at her since she has glared at me back in school a few months ago. (This is why boys shouldn't make girl hold a grudge against them because NGL, they will always find a way for payback.)

''I-I...'' That girl shuttered.

''Do you have by any chance try to steal 'my' boyfriend? Are you that type of slut?'' I gently pushed Touma away and take a few steps towards her.

''NO! Please excuse me for being rude.'' She bowed her head and leaves us alone.

''But he was my boy friend with a space in the middle!'' I said out loud.

''So, how was my acting? Good?'' I turned at Touma. His cheeks are flushed in red as he tries to cover his red cheek away.

''It was awesome...'' He speaks softly.

''By the way, who is she? I remember that you said that she was your client, right?''

Touma shyly nods his head.

''She was my client but lately, she gets a bit obsessed over me for some reason. I worked as a part-time boyfriend to gain some money.'' Touma then patted his cheek.

''So basically, she was my ex-girlfriend...it was when I was working of course... I was a total jerk, right?'' His eyes seem to darken as if he was disappointed in himself.

''Neh, you are not. I can see that you are trying to comfort some broken-hearted person in your own way. And I wonder how would you even work a job like that when you are so innocence. Look, I was just teasing you for a bit and you have already blush like a tomato.''

''I-It was just... sorry...'' He murmured.

''Cheer up, bro. You can still improve being the best boyfriend in your work.'' I patted his head.

''Yo, what just happen when I was not around?'' Yuuto suddenly appeared behind me as I was still trying to comfort Touma who was still blushing.

''It was nothing, right, Touma-san?" I looked at Touma.

''Did you just make Touma cry, Miyu-chan? You are such a meanie.'' Yuuto poked my head.

''Fck no! Now, give me the drinks, you moron.'' I grabbed the milk tea from his hand and drink it down quickly.

''Drink it slowly, you jerk! It has—''

Before I know it, I feel there's something stuck in my throat. Then I quickly spit it out while coughing like crazy.

"Boba jelly balls in it..." Yuuto slapped his forehead.

''Ugk!! Gosh, my dress!!'' I looked down at my yukata that was stained with the milk tea.

''And that's why I told you not to give her that.'' Hikaru let out a heavy sigh as he looked at me.

''It's okay, I can wash this. Bye, I gonna head towards the toilet first.'' Then I quickly went towards the toilet that was not far away from the playground.
