CHAPTER 2 (A night to remember)
1517 Words
Sky fixes himself before leaving their apartment and her mother cooking in the kitchen.
Their date was at the new restaurant-Casa de Avior-that had opened up near Winter's condo. She was a book writer at the best book publishing company, even though she is still studying she was able to synchronize it.
Sky stopped at a flower stall just before he reached the restaurant and bought a bouquet of her favorite light blue roses. He felt this sense of fear and unease. He supposed it was normal, but not.
"Sky!" Winter's sonorous voice calls out to him from inside the building. He looked through the glass window of the small brick wall restaurant and saw her waving and generously smiling at him. Her hair was curly at the end, perfect for her heart-shaped face, she wore a blue dress that accentuated her figure and had a subtle v-line that showed off her pale white soft skin.
Sky walked quickly into the restaurant to meet her, and he could hear his heart pounding in his ears. It was her, it was really her. After all this time, he could hold her and be with her. It almost felt like he would wake up from a dream any second.
But if it was a dream, he did not want to wake up.
"Hey," she met him at the entrance, smiling up at his face. Everything was just like he remembered, even better if that was possible.
"Hey..." he responded slowly.
"Uh, here, I got you these," he thrust the flower at her, he still felt a little afraid to touch Winter. The unexpected touch of her skin against Sky shocked him, but he recovered quickly and clasped his hands behind her. She pulled back and kissed him quickly on his chick.
"Come on, I reserved a table for us," she grabbed his hand and pulled him into the dining area of the restaurant, towards a two-seated table. A single slim vase with an expensive candle light at the center of the table. The restaurant was very elegant and vanilla scented candle smelled so good.
"Here," Sky said and pulled back a chair to help winter sit. Winter placed the bouquet at the side of the table and thanked him. By the time he settled into his own seat, she was cutely smiling at him, her hands folded under the chin, elbows on the table. He was happy, at the same time he was afraid. Away from winter and to everyone.
"So, you're looking great, Sky," she said, breaking the silence that had enveloped them.
"Thank you, this is nice, we never get time alone like this." Sky answered.
"I know," she replied.
He extended his arm out on the table and offered his hand. She quickly placed her hand in his and smiled.
"I haven't been the most attentive or loving boyfriend and I'm sorry for that." He apologized, caressing the back of her hand. Winter smiled that this is not Sky, but she's thankful for having the best version of Sky in front of her.
"It's Okay... I forgive you. Besides, we're both busy with our studies," she said with a slight chuckle. She let go of his hand and called a waiter, instructing him to bring them a bottle of wine.
"Speaking of, are you still playing an RPG game?" she asked as she pursued over the menu. Sky sight and grabbed his own menu. Winter reminded him of the one thing that wasn't sure how to prevent from happening.
"I am. Actually, a new virtual game released a while ago..."
"But, I don't think I'll be taking it seriously anymore though," he said, causing a hearty laugh to erupt from her.
"Oh please, Sky, I know you'll be back at the console tonight after this date," she said, smirking at him. The waiter arrived and poured them each a glass of the wine before taking their orders.
Winter ordered the parmesan risotto with roasted shrimp, so Sky ordered the same thing. As he watched her take a sip of wine, he realized something. He didn't really want his equipment and account recalled in the game.
"Play with me, Winter," he blurted.
"What?" she placed her wine glass on the table.
"Play the game with me,"
"And I will show and tell you everything, how I can fix our past, and my life." Sky explained.
" What? No, come on Sky, don't be that silly" she said with a giggle. She sipped a glass of wine again.
"Please, Come on, you're always asking what's so great about that role-playing game" he pushed forward in his seat to give her his best winning look but she just eyed him warily over the rim of her glass.
"I'll show you everything you need to know, I'll teach you and we can be in a team together. Please," He said. Winter laughs again, showing off her perfectly white teeth. The waiter brought their food, which smelled so good it made Sky's mouth water a little.
The waiter walks away after serving the food they ordered.
"Please, I died in 2035, and I came back to fix all my mistakes, to you, to my friends..."
Winter laughed slightly surprised.
"So what do you say?" he said. She was about to say something when he cut her off.
"If you agree, we could go back to my place together tonight and I'll teach you how to play,"
Winter shook her head and chuckled. Then she looked at him for a while with a slight smile on her face.
"You really something, you know that?" she said.
"So... Is that a yes?" He asked with an enthusiastic and infectious smile.
"Yes, fine, tsk!" she said and laughed.
"I hate you, Sky!"
"Well, I love you too, Winter," he said, looking into her eyes. She rolled her eyes and bit her lip to stop her from smiling.
"Shut up and eat your food," she finally said.
"Yes, master," Sky said, teasing her.
He watched Winter as she ate her food, she's so beautiful, she's talking about how she was hired even though she's still studying.
By the time they finished dessert, he felt closer to her than he ever felt before.
"Wow, just wow!" she said with a chuckle.
"I don't think I've ever talked that much since I became your girlfriend,"
Sky laughed back. It was like she had read his thoughts. He called the waiter for their bill.
"I'm going to fix everything, I'm going to do better, so stay, I promise."
"I believe you. Sky,"
He paid for the dinner, tipped the waiter, and they left the restaurant. It was already dark outside and because his apartment was all the way on the other side of the city, they took the Acceleration transport system.
After arriving at the station. Sky helped Winter sit on the cushioned seats available and fastened their seatbelts. The system asked for their destination, a few moments of waiting they had reached their destination.
They alighted and made them wait up to his apartment. Sky's mom looks asleep, so they go straight to his room.
Sky immediately opens his PC.
"Is that the game we'll be playing?" she pointed her index to the Reborn battle logo.
"Yeah.."
"Can we play another game?" she sweetly asked.
"We can play any other game you want, later." he said and wrapped his hands around her waist, pulling her closer to him. She giggled and threw her arms around his neck and tiptoed to kiss his soft, kissable lips.
He kissed her back, and they walked together to the door to close it.
Her shoes dropped noisily on the floor behind him as they went in, and she jumped a little so she could wrap her legs around his hips. He grabbed hold of her thighs to keep her steady and lead him slowly to his bed.
"I've missed you so much," sky whispered as he kissed her neck. Winter giggled again.
"I've missed you too, Sky, " she said, but Winter never knows how much he misses her.
They helped each other to get off their clothes, Sky's saw her perfectly curved body, soft supple skin, and her alluring breast. He kissed her naturally pink lips before traveling to its neck. And they were brought to their fascinating pleasures.
After that, they fix themselves and lie down. Sky could not help but smile.
"I thought our purpose here was just a game?" Winter said, teasing him.
They both laughed, but Sky suddenly became serious. Sky looked at her shiny brown eye, "Your now my priority Winter, because that is the thing I did not do before."
….
When the sun shone, the smell of fried rice and egg are the reason she woke up. She was wearing what she was wearing last night, her slightly raised dress near her bottom. There was a cloth next to her folded, it was Sky's cloth, jersey shorts and a large size-shirt.
She slipped out of the bed, grabbed that shirt that belonged to Sky, its smell perfume of a man.
Before leaving the room, she changed her clothes first.
She found him hunched over the stove in the kitchen, Sky can cook? His eyebrows were drawn together and his beautiful messy hair looks beautiful to her. She leaned against the door frame and bit her lip. Trying not to smile as she watched him.
