chapter 6

He handed me my cap and he quickly hailed a taxi. It keeps pulling away.

"What is it .. I didn't even thank you. It's rude." I whispered to myself.

Well, here I am outside of university. I'll just go to the mall and entertain myself first.

"Brother, a popcorn—"

"Two. Two popcorn."

I turned to the speaker. Its Blue. I smiled immediately.

"I thought you really came home — hmmm"

He poured me a handful of popcorn in my mouth. I just chewed it and took my popcorn. Blue walked first so I immediately chased him and walked beside him.

"What are you doing?"

"Aren't we going on a date?"

"What date? Stupid, I just want to thank you for helping me earlier."

"Still. We're still dating. Lezgooooo!"

"Hey!"

I went to the ticket booth and bought two tickets. We will watch comedy. Blue suddenly pulled me closer to him.

"Friz, what the hell are you doing? I'm not going with you." he whispered with emphasis.

"Shhhh I'll take care of you. I'll answer you." I smiled at him.

"You're cute, ma'am. You're good." cashier's comment.

"I'm not her boyfriend—"

"Oh, thank you, sister. You will have a house and lot for me later." I kissed him.

The cashier laughed at what I said. I immediately pulled Blue so we could enter the cinema.

After we watched the movie I tried to pull Blue back into the arcade. He is annoyed with me because he says I was wasting money on such useless things. That's why he paid for the tokens we will use. I thought he was going to issue an atm. It's a good thing you have extra cash with you.

"Friz, this isn't my thing. Can I just go home now? It's up to you to use up those tokens. I'm going home—"

"Hep! Let's date this and there's no objection." I clasped my hand on his arm.

"The f*ck? This is not a date—"

"Don't even swear. The kids can hear you oh."

At once we turned to the children staring at him. Blue just raised an eyebrow at it.

"Blue, don't be like that. That's why people who approach you are scared and you laugh at them right away."

"I don't care!"

"Oh don't get angry right away. This is it. Let's play to relieve that stress in your body."

Annoyed, he just followed what I said and started playing. Obviously, your grandfather doesn't really know how to play arcade games.

You know the game where you hit something and a ball falls from the machine. Rotate it until it falls into the hole with the number of how many tickets you can get. There he was super hooked.

"I really don't like that game! The ball only falls in small amounts. It's very deceptive!"

I laughed and he was very pissed at that game. There is also a hole there with the letter 'jackpot'. This means that the machine will throw many tickets when the ball falls.

"Wait a minute, you're a loser. You need patience for games, Blue. Not all attempts since right away ..." I stood behind him and held his hand on the button he would press to make the ball fall.

"Friz, what are you—" he turned to her side.

"Shhh eyes in front, Mr. Alviesta." I replied without looking at him.

He wanted to protest but I restrained his hand from holding the button.

"Friz, embarrassing! We're looking at each other!" he whispered.

"Let them be. Again, eyes in front."

He had no choice so he just followed what I said.

"Like I have a lot of patience with you, Blue. You've rejected me a lot of times but I won't let you down. Just like how patient we are to get the right timing for this ball. I am willing to wait to reach my goal. .. "

Then we simultaneously hit the ball. It’s spinning. He's anticipating where the ball should fall. But I’m complacent it will fall on the jackpot.

It fell on the jackpot.

"And that's you. That's your worth for me, Blue ..." I pointed to the jackpot.

"Friz, we did it!"

He turned to me and I was surprised when he suddenly hugged me. He was jumping for joy so I jumped too. I hugged him back.

I don’t have a pack of people looking at us right now. If they think we're crazy we don't have a pack either.

Blue stopped. So am I. He immediately left hugging me.

"Ah ... you're great." he said awkwardly.

"We're great." I said with a smile and raised my hand to touch him.

I thought he would ignore it but then again when Blue Fiel Alviesta moves, things happen unexpectedly. He highfiveed me. Before quickly turning away from me and looking at the tickets coming out of the machine.

We directed the cashier all the tickets we had accumulated.

"You choose the price." said Blue.

"But we have two tickets."

"Friz, just pick one."

A unicorn stuff toy I chose. We are currently eating shawarma today. We sat on a bench.

"What do you want us to name him?"

He gave me a look as if he was telling me, 'Are you crazy already? Stuff toy will you name? "

"Why? I want us both to name him because time and effort are our investment just to get it."

"Friz, that can be bought anywhere."

"It's different, okay?"

"D*mn, Friz. Just call him whatever you want."

He bit into his food again and ignored me.

"I know! His name is Arki. Because we won him in the arcade!"

"Whatever— sh*t! I still have to go to the men's store!" he stood up immediately.

"I'll go with you!"

"No, it's just me. It's up to you where you want to go—"

"I'm coming for preference! You don't want to?"

"I don't need your opinion. Goodbye."

"But—"

He walked first so I didn't follow. Oh, but wait, I thought of something. Get ready for me now, Blue.

"May I help you with something, sir?" the approaching saleslady asked Blue.

I was on the other side and pretended to be looking.

"I can do this on my own. Please leave."

"Ah o-okay sir. I'm sorry."

The saleslady left quickly. It's really rude. Because I'm already immune to that kind of behavior, but for others, such treatment is so surprising.

"Friz, stop following me."

I almost dropped the boxers I was holding when I heard him mention my name.

I immediately turned around and pretended not to hear him.

"Friz ..."

I was immediately distracted. I know that tone of his voice. He was really irritated. I smiled and made a peace sign.

"What else do you need?"

"A-me? Excuse me I'm here to buy! B-why? You're the only b-b who has the right to be a c-customer here huh?" I stuttered for a reason.

"Oh really? You're buying? Here at the men's store? Wow! That's really convincing, Friz." he sarcastically said.

"It's for my k-brother!" I'm still sorry.

He looked at me badly and eventually just let me go. I approached him.

"Why are you here in the underwear section — ohmy! Don't tell me until now you still don't have ..." I looked down at her waist which she immediately covered.

"Shut up! I'm confused, okay? I feel guilty because I left immediately without saying goodbye and didn't say thank you properly so I turned the taxi and followed you. I ... I forgot I haven't ... yet wore it." page by page his voice.

"Blue, we're not in the library for you to whisper."

"Shut it." he whispered.

I laughed and handed him the designs I had chosen.

"Oh there. I've chosen you."

"Friz—"

"Why? You don't want to? The designs are cute oh. Elephants cartoon."

"Fine. Get out. You go outside and wait."

He grabbed the boxers in my hand and immediately went to the counter to pay. I was just outside the store waiting for Blue to come out. I laugh at Blue's awkwardness haha

"Let's go."

I immediately chased Blue so we could walk together. We're out of the mall. Look at the time again. It's 5pm.

"Blue, why don't you have a car?"

"The randomness of your question."

I just stared at him and waited for him to answer my question.

"Fine. I just don't want to. I don't want them to think I'm proud of our wealth if I have a car and my own driver."

"E motor? You don't want to?"

"Why are you asking about cars huh?"

"Nothing. I'm just curious." I shrugged and turned my gaze to the front again.

"I have a motorcycle at home. But I rarely use it. Only if it's needed."

I nodded.

Blue hailed a taxi. He immediately opened the door. He's just there, standing and staring at me. I looked back and forth at him and at the ajar door. Then I slowly realized he was opening the door for me.

"Ahhhh I won't go with you anymore, Blue. My mom has a tinext for me to order. Why? Are you opening me up?" I teased him.

"What? No. Where are you. Maybe someone wants to ride first. Ah excuse me! Do you want to ride first? It's okay if you ride first." he turned his gaze to the people who had just come out of the mall.

Obviously, he’s just sneaking in. I smiled even more as his forehead furrowed.

"What ?! Are you going to ride? Or not ?!" shout of the taxi driver.

"Oh, I'm going to ride, Yes. You're on board, Blue."

Blue just didn't have the driver shouting and calmly took the taxi.

"Blue!"

He didn't answer but he turned to me.

"Thank you on our first date! I enjoyed it so much! To repeat-"

Even before I could finish what I was about to say, he closed the windshield and the taxi left immediately. I just waved here.
