CHAPTER 12
(Note: sorry guys I've been gone for a while, I've been sick for about a week now and have to review for our research defense so yeah.)
Sence shift to when Vinny are going home from school
*School gates
(Japanese)(Akari)
"oooyy!! Vinny! Why going home early?"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"… oh I am in a hurry so bye for now and kindly tell to Takumi that I will not be working for today so tell her that can she replace me for now on accounting, that will be a huge help thanks *Leaves*"
(Japanese)(Akari)
"hey wait! And he's gone, what could be the problem?"
Vinny hop on he's bike and start sprinting, while he's sprinting, he thinks for himself, "what in the world am I feeling right now!? It's frustrating I can't with this I will go for a ride!" Vinny then decided that he will have a ride across the city till the feeling that he currently feeling vanish. Vinny's been riding till noon to be exact 7pm at noon and he's sweating bullets, he also already rode through the city once and is already super tired, he plans on having a break at a park. Once he reaches the park, he get down from he's bike and look around, he see no one's around and just find it peaceful and find a bench to sit on.
He find a bench to sit on under a street lamp, it's cold and hot at the same time because he just finish riding through the whole city without a break and decreasing he's speed. He thinks for himself while look at the star above "why do I feeling this way?" "do I like Akari?" "If I do I-" "I cant think of a single thing!!" he's frustrated by thinking this way (Spoilers: but we guys know what will happen to the end but guess who will be the true love interest hehe) and then a stranger approach him
(Japanese)(???)
"hey mister that's my spot, can you move?"
Vinny look at the stranger talking to him, and sees a young girl that is oddly familiar and also carrying a fixed gear(He sees a old model fixed gear customize and unbranded, he also already notice that it is chromoly frame cause its an old looking bike and also has a trice spoke on front wheel)
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"wait are you perhaps Reina?"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"yeah? Wait you are from my class I saw you earlier"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"yeah, you also ride fixed gear?"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"yeah, did not expect to see you here"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"I've just sprint around the city and taking a rest here"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"what!? No wonder you look like a mess"
Reina sits down beside Vinny
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"yeah but I was just having a hard time thinking of something that's why"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"is that so?... why not we go for a ride?"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"huh? Where to?"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"just come along, we will also get something to eat, we don't want you to look like a zombie here in public do we?"
The two start to get on their bikes and start pedaling. The two of them chatted while they are cycling to where Reina's taking him.
(Japanese)(Reina)
"this is stressing me out, lets go fast now!"
Reina start sprinting
(Japanese)(Vinny)
(wow she's fast)
Reina start avoiding people and vehicle on the way without a problem, Reina also have a few skills on while riding a fixed gear.
(Japanese)(Vinny)
(she's good, better give her a thrill. Not gonna lie this is refreshing riding with someone)
Vinny starts sprinting like crazy and get past by Reina with an instant while also avoiding people on the way and some other courses.
(Japanese)(Reina)
"whoa! Your fast not gonna lie!"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"same goes to you, your good at cycling!"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"Thanks! Oh where here we can stop now!"
The two of them stop's to a ramen shop
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"a ramen shop?"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"yes its good to people with something in mind, beside its already night time, night time is the best to have some hot meal right?"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"I guess?"
The two of them goes inside of the ramen shop that is almost closing
(Japanese)(Owner)
"Welcome! Oya? Reina-chan your back?"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"I'm back dad"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"wait is this store your family's store?"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"yeah, I figure you need something to ease up your mind and I don't have the money to buy you something so yeah"
(Japanese)(Owner)
"oya? Is this your boyfriend!?"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"Huh?"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"no dad stop with that, anyways can you make us 2 bowls of ramen?"
(Japanese)(Owner)
"so just a friend then? Well for you and your friend I will make you guys 2 big bowls of ramen"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"thanks dad"
Reina's father start cooking the ramen, while Reina's dad are preparing Vinny and Reina chatted while waiting and get to know each other, Reina told Vinny on why she's using fixed gear bike, it was a gift from her grandfather who use fixed gear a long time ago. The bike that Reina was using was back then were full of dirt and scratches, Reina's grandfather before passing he's bike to Reina, he first let a craftsmen polish and rebuild he's bike to make it look like new. With that Vinny get interested on Reina not romantically (yet?). Reina get to know more about Vinny, and she was shocked that Vinny owns a business himself, and other things. This make Vinny's heart at ease without even eating or even just letting out some steam, just someone who understand him or willingly want to get to know him feels really is the best even in my own opinion.
The food arrives and the two of them start devouring their food like some crazy animals. After they finish Vinny then tell to Reina that he have to go home.
(Japanese)(Reina)
"ride safe home Vinny!"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"thanks, also thanks for the meal earlier, it was fun hanging out with you *Smiles*"
(Japanese)(Reina)
"it was fun hanging out with you as well, see you tomorrow at class!!"
(Japanese)(Vinny)
"see you tomorrow!"
Vinny get to pedaling and riding home, while he's riding to go home he start smiling to himself without him noticing it. When he gets home, he get to bathroom to take a quick bath then after get dress then goes to sleep.
