New Life Online 263 A Place Of Memory

*Akko's POV*

After my embarra.s.sing confession, I feel relieved and kinda sad because I thought that he won't reject me for the reason that I've been with him since the day we played the game. It's not really that long but it felt like we've been together for so long. The very first time I saw him, I asked Elou to invite him and I'm not sure why. I don't know what came up to my mind but every time I'm with him, I want to feel his warmth. I want to stay with him for as long as I could.

I wish that I showed him how much he means to me when I had the chance but instead, I listened to my heart telling me to confess to him but I don't regret it because I know that I'm the only one who can love him like this. It's like I'm cursed to love him for the rest of my life.

"Hey, are you ok? The bus is here." Scy called me as I'm daydreaming again.

"I'm sorry. Wait for me!" I happily said while both of us are getting on the bus.

Yep, it's our first date. Well, technically just a friendly date. I asked him to go out with me but unfortunately, he doesn't want to answer, maybe because he has his reasons and I don't really have the right to ask him about that.

I told him that I will show him that I really like him so I asked him for a friendly date. I know, I'm being too selfish but everyone has their greed and mine is to be with him. Though... I'm not really comfortable taking the bus because it's too crowded right now. It's Valentine's Day today so there's a lot of couples everywhere. I have a car but Scy said that he prefers taking the bus as we can enjoy our time while looking at the scenery... so far, the only beautiful scenery is him.

-The Road to the City-

*Mari's POV*

"Don't freaking lose them, Ethan! That's the bus, that's the bus! Are you blind?! Faster!" This girl, if I'm not wrong, is Lili and she's way too loud unlike in the game! Is this really her?

"Don't shout, Lili! I'm doing my best! I'm not used to driving so taking it slow is safer for everyone." Ethan... or should I say Elou is driving and getting annoyed of Lili's nagging...

I've met both of them earlier while I and Azzie were tailing my brother because it's way too dangerous to go outside alone after the incident from our previous home. I don't know why other familiar faces are here with us, though... Elou said that they're having siblings date or some kind and it was just a fun coincidence but I doubt it. I just can't believe Bro is dating somebody without telling me! I'm supposed to be the one who's having a date with him!

"We should have used my Limo... this car is way too narrow for all of us!" Petula, the girl who organized the party from the second previous boo... I mean the rich girl.

"Settle down, Sis. A limo would just catch others attention and it might blow our cover." The blind girl, Chara is here too with her sister Petula...

"Oh sh*t!* And Aurora just yelled out of nowhere again. She's with us too...

"What now Sis..." And her Sister, Zia is also here... She's not ill but she can't walk. Thankfully, Aurora's strong so she carries her around when she needs to.

"There's another pizza shop! Can we stop for a bit to order?" I've lost count of how many times she asked that question...

"I'm thankful that I'm surrounded by cute girls but I swear to G.o.d, if you guys don't settle down, I will kick you out of the car and go home!" Elou's getting p.i.s.sed as it's really noisy...

And no... that didn't stop them from nagging, complaining and wanting for a food break...

*Akko's POV*

It took us more than an hour to reach our destination. He said that he found a good place, which is where his family goes when they go out to have fun but it's getting dark.

-Secret Place-

We finally arrived and as I look at the place, it's an open field. We're walking on a dusty road and beside us are rice fields and the moon and stars are the only lights that s.h.i.+ne upon us to make the place visible. I don't know if he really didn't bring lights or anything on purpose or not but I can tell that he knew that it will be a bright night today. A peaceful place where you can't hear anything but the wind blows.

This place looks familiar. It's like I've been here before but I can't seem to remember it. I should actually be scared right now as I'm in a dark place and I'm not sure if this place is safe but I'm with Scy, I know that he won't ever hurt me. He's the kind of guy who protects the ones he loves and...

"KYAAAAAAH!" I panicked after I heard something that jumped in front of me!

"Haha! It's just a frog." Then I realized that after that embarra.s.sing moment, I'm holding Scy's arm! I swiftly stopped holding his arm as I don't want to make it awkward for both of us.

"Here. Hold my hand instead. It's dark, I'm sorry. I should have chosen a better time." He offered his hand and so I happily accepted it. This is all my fault. He specifically told me to wear simple clothes but it took me forever to pick what to wear because I was too nervous... Oh gosh...

"Don't worry, we're almost there." He said and so we continued walking for a bit. Thank G.o.d I didn't wear heels today. It's windy but I don't feel cold at all. Maybe because I'm feeling his warmth.

"And here we are." We stopped and after I looked at the place... I was speechless of what I saw...

A beautiful lake ahead that reflects the moonlight and the stars. The area beside the lake is full of soft gra.s.s and flowers dancing together with the wind. It's so incredible and I was astonished by it that it gave me chills all over my body. Scy looked at me smiling directly through my soul. If I could stay here forever with him, I would.

Ugh... for a moment there my head suddenly hurt and I saw a flash of an image showing me the same exact moment of what is happening right now but Scy... Scy looks older there...

"Are you ok?!" At that moment I realized that Scy caught me after I lost my balance. Where did those images come from? It felt like it's something happened before... but why is it like that?

"I'm ok, I'm sorry. My body probably wasn't able to take how beautiful this place is. Thank you for bringing me here. You showed the most beautiful thing I've never seen my entire life." I said to him honestly and held his hand tightly.

"I don't know why but I had the feeling that I should show you this place. I may be a boring man for not taking you to a fancy restaurant or going to see some movies as normal people would do but I'm not that kind of guy. I prefer something which both of us could never forget. Something that will make you remember that I may not be with you, but I'm always forever in your memory." I can see it in his eyes that he really mean it. His eyes can't lie, the eyes that could melt my heart. I wanted to tell him that I love him but it's not the right time. I want him to tell me that himself because I know he will someday.

"Thank you. I will never forget about this, even for my next life. I will find you and love you as I do right now." I can't control my emotions... Tears came out of nowhere like I was longing to be him with again... This feeling like I've lost him for a very long time...

"Hey, lady. Who told you to cry? I was supposed to make you smile. I failed miserably but somehow, mission accomplished but... we're not done yet." He said. Wait, what?

*SWITCH SOUNDS*

My eyes were blinded by some kind of light nearby and as I look closely, there are two guys wearing some sort of formal attire. Isn't that Jay and Rafrov? I didn't see them earlier because I focused too much on the scenery and mostly, Scy's face.

"Let's go?" He asked and I just nodded. We came to the place near the lake.

"A table for two beautiful beings and here's our finest drink as a complimentary gift." Rafrov got us two wine gla.s.ses and he opened a... a soda...

"Hmmm... I can tell by looking at it that it will tickle my throat and what do you call this magnificent drink again?" Scy played along and asked a silly question and it made me smile.

"It's called Choke, Sir." And yes it's Choke, a popular soda brand.

"Woah, it tastes so good that its name suits it well. And what's your special dish today?" Once again he asked.

"Uhmmm, please wait a moment." He said and then looked at Jay signaling something...

"Psst... where did you buy this again?" Rafrove whispered to Jay as he's preparing the food... I can tell by looking that it's from WcDonalds...

"d.a.m.n it, Son... you're ruining the moment. Just come up with a fancy name..." He whispered back but I can still hear them. I'm trying not to laugh. Seriously.

"It's... Friedu Chickenu. It's a recipe pa.s.sed down from generations to generations and our master chef is here to... psst bring it in here... Aheem... here to give you the opportunity to taste it." I'm enjoying how messed up this is but I'm really having fun.

"Oh, Master Chef Jay! I heard you did something terrible and now you're trying to do something for your friend to atone for your sins. I hope he forgives you someday. Haha." Scy said and it sounded like he's teasing him.

"Shut up..." He replied and so they made their exits while we started to dine with this amazing fried chicken.

We talked for a bit while dining and I hope that we could do this again because it feels like we're really a couple now but I don't want to get ahead of myself. After we ate and rested, he stood up and offer his hand again telling me that we will go somewhere again. I really couldn't ask for more but thank you G.o.d for this moment. I stood up while holding his hand and he guided me.

We walked near the lake where there are gra.s.ses and flowers covering the place. We sat there and just looked at the lake. The moonlight's reflection hits his face making him glitter like a star. Even if darkness covers your life, my star, I will split the sky for you to s.h.i.+ne.

"Akko, I want you to know that you are really important to me but... right now is not the right time. I have something to do and it's more important than my own feelings. For now, I just want to spend my time with you while I still have the time." He said sincerely. I really want to know all of you and share your burdens with me... I just wish.

We lie down while we watch the moon and the stars. They said that time flies faster when you're with someone you love but why is it that being with him feels like we've been together for a very long time.

-Hours have pa.s.sed.-

Hmmmm... wait... did I fall asleep? I'm... lying on the gra.s.s together with Scy... wait... what the heck?!

"Lili? What are you doing here?!" I found the others sleeping beside us! Are they stalking us from the start?!

"Five more minutes..." Lili ... is it just me or everyone asks for five more minutes when someone asks them to wake up...

Wait... what's that smell?

"Wantsh shome pizzsha?" There are boxes of pizza... Aurora?! She's eating and sitting while Zia's hugging her sister's legs...

"So cold..." And both Petula and Chara are hugging together...

"Stupid brother!" I heard a slap on Scy's side and...

"Awww! Who hit me?!" Azzie?! Why is that girl even here?!

"Hmmm? What?" Then Mari woke up after hearing that annoying girl's voice...

"Huh? What the h.e.l.l is going on?! Where did you all come from?!" Scy finally woke up and I can tell that he's not happy about it.

After they explained... we just laughed it out. I'm just thankful that they didn't interfere this time.

We stayed for a bit while looking at the beautiful sunrise and now I can say that this is the best Valentine's Day ever... before all these girls showed up, though.

-Somewhere-

*Elou's POV*

I hate girls... kicking me out of my car!
