12. "Why is it that you wanted to come to the beach in the winter?" (Fuyu no kamome)
âThereâs no way Iâll tell you, youâll laugh !â Reira pouted. The young man glanced at her, a smirk on his lips. âThen donât prevent me from having a little of funâ.
Taking a high-pitched tone she finally let out after some suspense âMaybe I have a broken heart ?â She looked at him through her cat eyes but only get a glare back.
Even though it was just the truth. Her heart wasnât romantically broke or anything, she would first have to meet someone for such a thing to happen. But she felt so fragile at that moment as if she was made of glass. She could break appart at any moment. Her heart felt tight just to think about it and her throat hurt from keeping her scream deep inside. Girls company just wouldnât have felt the same because she was a strong figure among her group of friend so it was hard to show her true feelings. But Keigo wasnât looking at her with judging eyes, he was just here and he has answered to her stupid text.
She took of her shoes and raised her skirt up to her knees, letting her feet sink into the cold sand as she walked toward the sea. She let out a small cry when the waves touch her toes. Colder than expected. After getting use to the temperature, she start moving further.
Keigo caught her arm. From surprise she almost let down her skirt. âI wonât let you throw yourself in the water !â He said playfully. She glared at him âDo you want me to drown you ?â He let her arm down. âAs you want, stupid ! Donât expect me to save you itâs way too cold !â She laugh at his words. âItâs okay I just dip my calf and I come back. Come with me you chicken !â He shook his head firmly âI better be an healthy chicken than a cold dead chick !â. She smirk. âDonât worry, stupids never catch cold.âÂ
After some minutes she get back to the beach. âI feel all better now ! Thank you !â She smiled brightly, meaning it. Dipping her feet in the cold water hadnât resolved any of her matters but it has cleared her head a little. He raised a brow. âI still donât know why you drag me hereâ she smiled âDonât worry now Iâm treating you to a warm meal !â. âWeirdoâ.
