“So are you serious about the probability?”
“Yes. I saw it and it is 73%. Pretty high right?”
My conversation with Nao flashed before my eyes as I take a sip of my cranberry iced tea and just stared at the kid sitting in front of me.
Why?! Why do I have to sit inside the cafe with this damn brat Kazuya?!
Well it all started three hours ago when Odagiri-kun asked me to go in this cafe where he works as part-timer because he wanted to give me a special coupon as an apology for stalking me.
It is not that I like to go and start building a friendship with him; it is just that the coupon gives a free slice of cream cheese cake for a whole month and it is my only weakness
When I arrived at the cafe, I spotted Odagiri busy cleaning up the tables and so I decided not to bother him and just find a seat first and waited for him until he notice me
“Oh Hisa! Hisashi! What brings you here? It is rare to see you out during weekends.”
My mind is still focused on Odagiri when Nao suddenly walked in front of me.
“Are you with someone?”
“No, I just want to have some dessert for today.”
“Then can I sit here while I wait for Kazuya?”
“Yes sure.”
“So how are you doing? We haven’t seen each other for a long time.”
“I’m doing fine, there is just some trouble with a student but it is alright now.”
“I’m glad to hear that. Then do you want to know any kind of probabilities? I can give you one if you like.” He smiled at me while anticipating for my response.
“Then can I ask about the probability of the-“
“Oh Kazuya please come here.” I was cut off when Nao saw Kazuya walks in the cafe.
Tsskk… you are wrong timing damn brat.
I watched as he walks toward us and just comfortably seat next to Nao.
“Yuki, why didn’t you told me that we have another company today? I thought that we will be trying the special menu for couples here?” he whispered to him but purposely let it be heard by me.
“Stop it Kazuya, we are in a public place. It is just a coincidence that I see Hisashi here so I decided to have a chat with him while waiting for you.”
“I see. Then how about we move out to other table now so we can give him some space alone?”
“Yes, I guess you are right. Let me look for another table.”
“I think there is no more empty table available Nao. You can just share the table with me.” I said to annoy the brat so that he cannot have alone time with Nao.
“Is it really alright with you?”
“Yes of course I don’t mind it, but please refrain from being too lovey dovey in front of me.”
“Thanks Hisa. And how about you Kazuya, it will not be a problem to share a table with him right?”
I make my best smug face as he look at me before answering Nao who is innocently waiting for his answer.
“Yes, of course there is no problem. I will be happy to know more about your BEST FRIEND.” He sarcastically smiled as he emphasized the word ‘best friend’ in my face.
“Well great, I will be happy to see you getting along with each other.” He make a bright smile that I haven’t seen for years. “Kazuya just order from the menu whatever you like, I need to go to the comfort room first.” Nao stand up leaving us.
“Then let me call the waiter to take our orders.” the brat said as he called out a waiter who happens to be Odagiri.
“Sensei I’m glad that you really come. I will give you the coupon later as I promised.”
“Well thanks, will you take our order now?” I interrupted him immediately before he starts to chatter any further.
“Yes sir! What is your order sensei” He is too focused towards me that he didn’t even realize that I am with someone.
“A slice of cream cheese cake and cranberry iced tea.”
“Ok I will be back right away.”
“Hey wait! Aren’t you going to take my order? Can’t you see me?” The brat sitting in front of me looks very annoyed and it was very funny watching him make that kind of face.
“I’m very sorry sir. Sensei why didn’t you tell me that you are going with someone?”
“Huh? You are just being an airhead for not noticing him sitting in front of me.”
“So what is your order sir?”
“I want to have the special couple deluxe menu.” He is still sulking while saying his order.
“Eh?! That couple menu? But it is for couples only, do you have your date with you?”
“Tskk… you see, I am here to have a date with my lover so please stop asking anymore.”
“Huh?! Ehhh?! You mean— you and—“ Odagiri shift his look between me and the brat while his face starts to turn red.
“Why are you looking like that?” I asked as I am starting to get annoyed at him.
“I’m very sorry! I will get your orders right away.” He dashed back towards their kitchen.
Oh crap! Did he just misunderstand something?
“Odagiri please wait!!!” but then it is too late.
We just sit in silence as we wait for Nao to come back.
“I’m back. So did you make your orders already? What is wrong with the two of you?” Nao sits back to his chair and look at the two of us who are not even moving an inch.
“Yes- I think our orders will be arriving soon.” The brat answered to break the silence.
“So Hisashi about what I was asking you a while ago, do want to ask any probabilities?”
“Yes right now, I just want to know if how much troubles can a simple misunderstanding lead to.”
“Misunderstanding? I don’t get what exactly does that mean?”
“Then nevermind, hahaha just forget about it.”
“Hmmmm… wait, I think I can see something else about you.” Nao closed his eyes for more than 5 seconds. ”68%”
“68% of what?” I asked while feeling a little bit nervous about his unknown probability.
“Probability that you will encounter your destined pair today.” He smiles at me and I can feel that he wanted to start teasing me.
A very high probability indeed, but what about the remaining 32% that I will not meet that person? And does it mean that you are not part of that 68%?
Damn it. Why am I feeling like this in front of him and especially when he is with his lover.
“Excuse me sir, here are the first wave of your orders. I will com back for the next wave.” Odagiri came with two trays full of desserts.
“Odagiri I have to clarify something first.”
“Sensei, you don’t have to explain yourself, I am an open minded person you don’t have to worry about your secrets.
“No you are wrong you are just misunderstanding something here.”
“Let us just talk later sensei.” He walked away after putting all the food on the table.
*sigh* Why do I care to explain myself to that kid anyway?
“74%” Nao suddenly blurts out and it surprised me.
“What is it this time?”
“The probabilities went up.” He said as he takes a bite from the muffin.
“Welcome to the cafe!” I feel a little nervous when I heard a waiter welcomes a customer that walks in.
Could it be that person? No, no it can’t be. Then is it someone inside this cafe?
My mind is in chaos right now when I accidently caught a glimpse of an old friend of Nao during the university days, Shigure Shinjiro who is passing by outside the store.
“Ohhh!!! It went up again! 91%” Nao blurted out again.
“Sorry for the wait, here are the remaining parts of your order. Please enjoy.” Odagiri appeared again to serve us and immediately left after that.
Why do I feel guilty whenever I see Odagiri? Did I do something wrong?
My mind just wanders alone as I stare blankly outside the window trying to ignore the couple having fun in front of me.
*ring**ring*
“I have to take this call first” Nao stand up and walk outside to answer a call.
After a few minutes, he came back looking a little worried. “I’m very sorry Kazuya but I have to leave first because of an emergency call from one of my patients. Please enjoy the rest of the desserts and I hope that you can have a little chat with Hisashi. Goodbye.” He pats the head of that brat before rushing out.
And that is how I end up spending my morning in a cafe with this kid.
Why do those probabilities always work out?
“Uhmm Hisashi-san, I would like to apologize to whatever happened between us before. I finally understand how much you wanted to protect Yuki after knowing his past so I also want to thank you for everything you have done up until now.”
He finally speaks out and said unexpected polite words towards me.
“Well if you finally know it then I expect that you will never dare to make him sad ever again, do you understand?”
“Yes, I promise that I will make him happy forever, and I hope that we can get along for his sake.” He looks at me with his most angelic smile and then he raised his right hand waiting for me to shake it.
“Fine, but I am doing it for Nao.” I shake his hand and tries my best smile at him.
Maybe I should start to get used to dealing with kids and be nice to them.
“Then Hisashi-san, I just notice that you really enjoy eating cream cheese cake so here have this.” He pushed a plate with two slices of cake on it.
“Thanks” I happily accepted his offer.
Oh finally, I got a reason to get along with this kid.
