*Keita's p.o.v*
One of the best things in one's life is having someone to wake you up gently
Unfortunately, that way is not available here …
My deep sleep was interrupted … without any sense of gentleness …
"Keita! are you still sleeping!!? wake up already!" mom yelled
I complained: "Oh mooom … for God's sake … it's the weekend! … why are you waking me up?"
"Didn't you promise me that you'll go to the supermarket today? we need a lot of things …" she reminded me …
"Yeah … sure … I didn't forget … I'll go later … just lemme sleep a little more"
She turned on the lights and turned off the air conditioner …
I opened my eyes … "Ughh why did you turn it offf!? it's hot you know!"
I didn't really mind the bright lights but I hate it the most when someone turn off the air conditioner … it pisses me off …
"It's the only way to make you wake up"
Knowing my weak point, I had no choice but to get up …
I looked at the clock … it was 2 PM
I took a light purple t-shirt and a jeans … I wore them then I headed to my car …
As I expected it was too crowded that I spent about 15 minutes just to find a parking
However, buying the endless things in 'mom's to buy list' was a harder mission
When I finished shopping it was 4:02 PM
I returned home at about 4:30 and hurried immediately to the lunch like a hungry beast
When I finished my meal it was about 5
I feel that I forgot something … but what could it be?
I took few minutes trying to remember but I couldn't so I just ignored that feeling and went upstairs to my room
I started playing with my phone a little when I remembered "Oh … Shiroi!!"
It's the thing I forgot … I can't believe I made her wait for all that time …
"Are you ready? I'll come to pick you up" I sent
We had a little conversation then I went to where she lives …
She entered my car wearing a peachy colored t-shirt and a white jeans …
That peachy color really suits her … I've always believed so …
Knowing that she'd like to see her father again I took her to the lake of wishes …
She didn't believe in such a thing but at the end she decided to give it a try
After she made a wish it became so foggy that I couldn't even see my own hand …
I couldn't hear anything either … but after a while all the fog faded away as she came towards me with teary eyes saying: "thank you Keita"
I don't know when was the last time I heard her thanking someone … but I was glad to see her happy again … even If it was just a little bit …
On the next day I knew that she would return to normal …
Anyway I felt really bored so I decided to spend some time in that bakery where Shiroi and Yuto works
Hmm … it was more like a cafe than a bakery … I dunno If they had a special event or something … or it's just like that
I took a table and started looking around
"What are you doing here?" Shiroi glared
"Didn't I tell you that I'll visit someday ~?" I winked as I stuck my tongue out slightly
"Whatever … what do you want?"
"Eeeh ~ that's not a good way to treat your costumers ~ oh and you should say 'sir' "
She refused: "I'm not saying 'sir' … to you! … just order … or leave"
"how unfriendly ~ okay then I'll take a pineapple cake"
She wrote it down then headed to another table
I looked at her as I saw one of the costumers holding her hand
Hmm … what's going on?
I left my seat and started walking toward that table
"Come on let's hang out a little" he said
I distance his hand as I hold hers instead while saying harshly: "don't touch her … she's mine!"
I dragged her away and she just glared at me nonstop …
"Did you hear that? I sounded like a hero or something ~" I giggled
"Don't say that lie again … I don't want weird rumors to start spreading" she said as cold as always …
Anyway I returned to my seat and waited for my cake …
Few minutes later it was right infront of my eyes …
The bright yellow color … the small pieces of pineapple on it … and the stunning smell …
Even before tasting it I know it'll be perfect
I cut a small piece and put it into my mouth …
The irresistibly sweet taste started to melt in my mouth, gently caressing all my senses
Ahh I can eat that forever … it's the best pineapple cake I've ever eaten!
