Hiro looked at her watching. He threw the basketball, picked up his things and headed to backyard. She got it. It was a bad sign. She hurried to where he was going. She held her bag strip tightly and ran to the backyard. Upon arriving she understood that it was a bad call following him.
Hiro was sitting on a chair chewing gum, hands tucked in his pant and legs crossed. A lot of boys were standing and sitting around him. They were gang members of Rang. She couldn't take further steps as her felt like they froze in one place.
" What?" Hiro asked coldly.
" I just _I just"
The boys laughed at her. Hiro held his hand high signaling everyone to stay silent.
" You want me not to bother your cousin right?"
" I just wanted to request you for this"
" Still if you need something, you should give me something"
She stayed silent for a while.
" I told you to answer me properly" He looked up at her like a wild beast.
" What _ can I offer you?" She shuttered upon her words.
" Go out with me" She looked at him dumb founded " If you go out with me, then I will disband Rang gang and never bully your cousin "
He thought she would never accept his offer. She kept looking down for a while and tightened her grip on strip " I will go out with you, But you have to make sure that you will never bully anyone "
Although she was not sure if it was benefits of the offer or her drastically turning emotions but at the moment she replied without thinking much.
Hiro frowns disappeared and his eyes spread wide open at her answer " Why would she agree when she already have someone she likes " He signaled the boys to leave them alone. He stood up came closer and whispered in her ears " By dating means doing everything. You know what I mean right " Then he looked at her face.
Instead of getting angry her heartbeat was hard as she was looking at him. She pretended to cough and put her hand on her face to hide her blushing face and stumbled around. Then she turned around and said " I know but before that dating also means knowing each other very well "
He was once again taken back by her reaction " okay, so if we are dating from now, who was the boy in blue shirt?"
" He is...." She hesitated .
" Your crush right? or are you two dating? Then you would have to break up with him first "
" No, we are not dating. He is my cousin "
" So he is really your crush?"
She looked down at his question. He held her face and brought his face near her " Stop crushing on him and just look at me "
His light brown eyes Shone at her like a seven coloured light. He held his hand high asking for something.
"Mmmm?"
" Your phone"
"Ahhhh here" she brought her phone out of her of her bag and gave it to him.
He dialed and called. His phone started ringing in his pant's pocket. Then he saved his number in her phone and gave it back. Then he placed two fingers on his head, a slight salute, walked backward suggesting goodbye and turned to walk away.
She looked at her phone " My Prince" she smirked.
**o**
On way back home she kept thinking if it was a right call " Why would I agree to go out with him? What's wrong with me all of a sudden? I'm sure I like Haruma not him. But why do I feel attracted to him? He is not even my ideal type" All those thoughts surrounded her head like mosquitos.
At home after dinner she opened her diary to write today's events as it was her habit " You are my Moon.... You are my..... You are..... You..."
"Ahhhhhhhh" she curled up and ran her fingers through her hairs roughly that made them messy. " I'm sure he would be playing with my emotions. But why did I agree with his terms?" She mumbled. Then a sudden thought struck her " What if he harass his girlfriends ? what if he is a violent type?"
She picked up her phone and searched " What type of relationship gangsters have with their girlfriend?" A lot of cases swarmed up on the search engine. She covered her wide opened mouth at them.
She retyped her search " Are all gangsters violent with their girlfriend?"
A lot of cases appeared again with a paragraph highlighted above " Not all gangsters are violent type. Being a gangster doesn't mean they are any different from others. But sometimes they tend to have a nasty temper as compared to others "
" Then I shouldn't make him angry " She whispered worriedly " No wonder he was going to punch Haruma just because he held my hand "
"Ping" message notification appeared above from My Prince " Tomorrow is our first date. It's weekend so come to supermarket where we met before. NO EXCUSE are allowed "
" I'm your girlfriend not your servant. You should be more considerate toward me "
" Did I do something wrong?"
"Instead of ordering you should ask if I am free or not "
" Okay, let me ask again. Are you free tomorrow?"
" Yes I am "
" Can we go on a date tomorrow?"
" I will let you know later "
" When "
" I have to ask for mom's permission "
" Ahhh I see. Okay "
" One thing more, I disbanded my gang so you don't need to worry about it."
" Just like that?"
" Yes. why did you needed some ceremony before disbandment?"
"huhhh ? you should not be sarcastic to your girlfriend "
" I'm sorry, But why are there so many rules in dating?"
" Have you never dated before "
" It's more like sleeping around rather than dating "
" You should not say uncool things to your girlfriend and never mention past relationships "
" Okay, okay I will try "
" I will shower and sleep now. Good night "
There was no answer from her.
" You should say goodnight to your boyfriend "
" Good night" she typed and sent an annoyed sticker.
He smiled, threw his phone and go for a shower.
