Novelist’s know best

I begin to clean up the apartment and box some of the things that I didn’t need at the moment. It passed a couple of hours and I hear a ring on the doorbell and there was Hana waiting outside of the door. I open the door and greet her with a hello but then she hugs and says

“Hiroto how have you been?”

still the same old Hana.

“I’m doing well”

I reply. I look at her and she is wearing a mini skirt and a loose black shirt that lets you be able to see her bra strap.

“Hey Hana, you know I can see your um how do I say this? Your bra strap.”

She giggles and walks into the apartment pull her shirt up higher to see her bra

“What do you like it.” She smiles and says, “I really like it and I bet it gives you dirty thoughts.”

I saw it was a pink frilly bra and started to blush. So, I did what I thought was right pulled her shirt down and said

“Hey don’t do that. You know I’m a guy, right?”

she looks at me and smiles again

“I know that’s why I showed it. Let’s go grab you your outfit now.”

She smiles and walks over to the closet. she looks around for something that looks nice for me so I try to strike up a conversation.

“So, I heard that your light novel is going to be a anime. That must be exciting.”

Still looking she starts to talk to me

“Ya, I thought it would be more exciting but it feels like a ton of work”

she sighs after looking through the whole closet

“All you have is suits and outfits that look terrible.”

She looks over and grabs my hand

“let’s go shopping now we can go to the new store la tenue costume.”

I look over and with a startled voice I say,

“isn’t that place kind of expensive I don’t think I can afford it right now”

she pulls me forward and says,

“don’t worry with the light novel selling like hotcakes this one is on me.”

She gets me out of my apartment and we take the train.

“You look happy Hana”

I say smiling at her.

“Well of course I am I’m a date with you after all.”

I look at her nervously and say

“Wait we are on a date I thought this was a hang out.”

She starts to think and then says

“Well of course this is a hang out but I like to call it a date. Gives me more writing material.”

“So that’s why you said yes because you are writing another story”

I said laughing

“It doesn’t only have to be for a story I’m writing. I like being around you.”

She says getting closer to me in the seat. Right as I was going to ask her a question, I hear that our stop was called so we get off the train and go over to the store.

“Here we are”

she says we get into the store and we look around such a beautiful store the walls a purple color and the floor white. Clothes as far as I could see. She grabs a pile of clothes and tells me to try it on. So, I walk over to the changing room. I tried outfit to outfit many times and not one did either of us like until I walk out with the one

“that’s perfect that’s the one you should wear!”

she shouts. The outfit she though I looked best in was a light blue shirt with a white jacket some sun-bleached pants and a pair of white shoes.

“You really think this is the one?”

she looks at me and says,

“of course, it’s perfect for you.”

I go back in the change room fold up the clothes and we take it to the front counter to pay for it. I look over and see the price it says 46000 yen. I open my eyes in shock and offer to pay but she won’t let me. We ride the train back to the apartment. it’s about 10:39pm and I thank her for helping me out with the outfit

“Thanks again for the outfit I swear one of these days I’ll take you out for dinner.”

I said happily. She hugs me and says

“oh my going for two girl is one not enough for you”

I look at her blushing and say

“Hey that’s not what I meant and you know it”

she walks out of the apartment laughing and looks back at me and in a soft voice

“I promise to make you fall for me”

I didn’t hear her to well so I shout

“What did you say?”

she shouts back

“it’s not important good luck tomorrow bye.”

She runs off and I go back in the apartment. I look around and think to myself that I should get some rest. I go to my room and I think to myself i hope that work goes by fast. I fall asleep fast. Next morning, I woke up and start to walk over to my work. The day just started and I already want it to be over just so I can go on my date. I daydreamed so much that the day goes by so fast. I look over to clock I just started at 9am and its now 5pm.

“Oh no I better hurry up and leave”

I say to myself. I run over to my apartment and grab a quick shower. After that I put on the outfit me and Hana got yesterday. I check the time and didn’t even notice that its 5:46pm I start to run as fast I can to the train station to get there but I got there around 6:15pm. I run up the stairs of ikebukuro station and hope that she a hadn’t left. I don’t see her anywhere I just lean against the wall and sigh.

“I just must have missed her I can’t believe I was late”

I say to myself that’s when I feel a cold can on my face. I yip from how cold it was and I look up and see Aiko hold a can of soda

“Hey, you are you going to sit there all day and make me wait more or are we going on that date you promised me.”

She says to me. With a beautiful smile I look at her and say,

“of course, let’s go on that date.”
