I was not sure of what dressing they used but it was not like any other and made one wanting more.

He seems content with my response as he laughs with a wide smile, "Well. That's good to hear. You could explore Tokyo tomorrow. I'll let Kazukura and Kai tour you around. There is also gonna be a summer festival soon since it's approaching July in a week. Make sure to check it out since it's something you can only enjoy in Japan." My eyes sparkle hearing that as I was overwhelmed with excitement. I can't believe I'm this lucky to experience their famous summer festival. "I will for sure. I'm sure it will be a whole new world for us to experience. Thank you for telling us. If it's alright, could we talk for a while tomorrow? privately?" I ask in a lower voice as he ceases his smile and nods h

He kissed my temple and whispered, “I love you.” “I love you too.” ****** It was a sunny morning two years later in Texas. I stood on the back porch of our new family home, holding a cup of coffee as I looked out over the yard. I lifted the ceramic cup to my lips and took a sip of the hot brew. In the distance, Eli was running across the grass with Summer on his shoulders, both of them laughing loudly under the clear blue sky. "Faster, Daddy. Faster!" Summer squealed from above his head, her long dark hair flying wildly in the wind as her tiny hands held tightly onto Eli's forehead.

"It's just a couple of simple questions." Helbert moved closer to Sieghal, wiping the nearly dried blood from the corner of his lips. As their proximity increased, Sieghal caught a whiff of Helbert's soft, fresh fragrance, like the scent of the sea in summer. A scent that made Sieghal think of it as an addictive perfume he could never give up. Not just the scent, but Helbert's long hair falling to his shoulders looked incredibly soft. And was that the smell of shampoo? Like ripe, sweet plums, making the silky strands even more dazzling in Sieghal's eyes.

I still wasn't worthy. But I didn't care anymore. Not in a moment like this. When her lips tasted like the sweetest thing. When her breath sputtered as she tried to match my pace. When her heartbeat kept getting faster and faster, the sound caressing my ears like a symphony. And fuck, did I hate classical music. But if this was it... Then I wanted to listen to it over and over again. She stumbled as she shifted, her back pressing against the wall. Her hand left my hair.

I smile when Blake cringes at the sight of me eating the coated milkshake fry. "Well I was not expecting that." He admitted. I rolled my eyes. "It tastes really good." I laughed and pushed another one inside the creamy liquid. When I pulled it out, this time I pushed it towards Blake. "Come on Blake, live a little. Taste it." I urged.

"Joe, my man, didn't expect you to show up in the end. Too bad Gale and I are already done eating. How about we grab a couple of beers?" "You're quite something, Summer, going straight for the alcohol?" "Just a little treat, just a little treat. You and Mr. Wood must have finished eating too, so let's have a drink together to liven things up," Summer replied. Joe looked at her flushed face and the scent of alcohol in her breath, wrinkling his brows in resignation. He did not dislike her alcohol breath; in fact, he found it quite pleasant. "Come on! Waiter, bring another crate of alcohol!" Summer called out.

Anyway, regarding what happened to Summer before--Well, it suddenly popped up in my mind, the same with them as for that moment, Summer telling us that she loves eating spicy food, so we tested her. Actually, Trisha put something spicy sauce on that sandwich and Summer didn’t know it. So, without knowing, Summer just eat it confidently and proudly. But suddenly, when she was chewing it, she unexpectedly ran towards the comfort room to vomit. After she get outside the comfort room, we noticed on her cheeks it was reddening.
