Odd Interaction (1)

"Hey there stranger." 

A soft voice called out to him in broken English, causing Ken to turn around. He saw the smiling face of Ai looking at him warmly.

Ken couldn't help but grin in response, swiftly standing up and taking the woman into his embrace. The two hugged for a while before he planted a kiss on her lips.

"Hello beautiful." He replied in Japanese.

They were in a busy little cafe not far from FIT which was there designated meeting place. The two had come here frequently while Ken was helping Ai settle into NYC.

"How was your first week of College?" Ken asked, gesturing for her to sit down.

"Mmm, it was okay. I'm still struggling a little to understand the lectures, so I need to keep improving my English." Ai replied, looking a little uncomfortable.
