The next day.
I'm standing in front of the doors to the singles event .
Rose- "well, I did it. I'm here..."
( I thought it might be good timing to restart my love life ... )
(... So here I am at this singles event. I can't believe I really came. )
Rose- " .... Hold on , isn't everyone here pretty young? "
Everywhere I look I see eyes sparkling with anticipation .
Without thinking I take a step backwards , stalling in front of the entrance.
( Wait , am I dressed for this ... ?)
( Now that I think about it, it's been a while since I've worn this outfit. It feels tight ... Ugh, I need to go on a diet. )
As I stand there pondering my waistline, I hear someone speak.
???- "Aren't you going in?"
An arm extends forward past me pushing open those doors which had been so tightly shut.
Rose- " Oh... thank you ."
Regular B - "wait a minute ..."
( Oh, it's one of those two customers from before! )
Regular B- " ... Something's different about you today."
He smiles at me .
Regular B- "This look really suits you."
Rose- "Um..."
( He complimented me on my outfit ... ! )
Regular B- " Well , see you inside ."
Rose- " Um, I ..."
( ... Ah , he's gone. )
( I really wanted to apologize again for what happened earlier . )
Pondering my missed opportunity , I follow after him as if I'm somehow being sucked inside .
( So this is what a singles event is like...)
( Like a cocktail-matchmaking party I guess ...)
I'm looking around the event, taking it all in, when I spot a table in the corner filled with small cakes.
( Oh , how cute... ! I wonder how they taste. )
The pastry chef inside of me takes over and I make a beeline for the desserts.
I stack a number of different kind of desserts onto my plate and I'm about to dig in when...
*SMACK!*
Rose- " !? "
( Someone just came smashing into me!)
I go crashing to the floor , along with all of the cake I had on my plate.
Rose- " Ouch ..."
( What the heck happened just now? )
I open my eyes , look up and see a pair of gigantic eyes staring back at me.
A young guy in a traditional kimono is straddling me , pressing me to the ground .
Kimono Guy- " ....."
( So this is who ran into me... He's actually kinda cute ...)
( He's so warm ...)
Rose- " Hey, how long do you plan on sitting on top of me? Could you get off , please? "
