Chapter 3- The 2nd lap!
Kevin smiled as Ryoma was declared winner for the day's match again. Truthfully, he actually felt proud of Ryoma's achievement, although sometimes he still felt jealous of the boy¡¯s talents. Even if they were both playing tennis and had spent each and every free day playing each other, there was still a wide gap between them. Regardless of how Kevin practiced, Ryoma would always be at least a mile ahead of him.
In the past, Kevin would feel humiliated and angry, but now, he no longer felt that way. In fact, he felt proud of having Ryoma as a friend. But that all changed soon after Kevin realized that he no longer only treated Ryoma as a friend. He was beginning to see Ryoma in a new light. He knew he cared for Ryoma but never knew he actually loved the other boy. It was not until he witnessed how girls flirted with the black-haired boy did he realize he was jealous.
Now, as he sat down opposite Ryoma in the cafe, he wondered what he was going to do next. Should he confess his feelings or should he simply chat with Ryoma on his recent happenings? For a while, Kevin thought of confessing, but finally decided against it, as the action alone could have caused Ryoma to shun him-- or worse, be scared of altogether.
He was so deep in thought that he knocked over his coffee when Ryoma snapped his fingers in front of him, trying to catch his attention. Resisting the urge to curse, he apologized to the waitress as he headed over to the washroom to clean himself up. Once he reached the washroom, he splashed water frantically on his face, trying to rid himself of the thoughts swirling around in his mind.
'Kevin Smith, pull yourself together!' he snapped at his mirror reflection. Thankfully, the washroom was rather empty-- otherwise, people would have thought him to be insane. Taking in a deep breath, he headed back out and rejoined Ryoma at their table.
"Sorry for taking so long..." he told Ryoma apologetically.
"Never mind," Ryoma shrugged his reply nonchalantly.
Ryoma looked out of the window for a while before saying, "Ne, want to go already?"
Kevin blinked, "Sure, why not?" he replied. 'Well... it's not as if there's anything to do here anyway...' he added silently in his mind.
Together, they exited the cafe silently. After a while, Kevin could not help but ask, "So, where are we going next?"
Ryoma merely shrugged and replied. "No idea...Let¡¯s just walk and see what comes our way."
Kevin frowned at Ryoma's reply but said nothing in return. They were simply walking around aimlessly for about an hour, when Kevin's cell phone rang. He stared at the number and inwardly winced; he had forgotten all about his appointment with Billy Cassidy at the country club Billy was working for.
Shooting Ryoma an apologetic look, he said. "Sorry, I have to leave. I forgot that I'm supposed to meet up with Billy. I'll call you later when I'm done."
Without waiting for Ryoma's response, he made a beeline for the nearest stand for cab. Ryoma stared at Kevin's departing figure and sighed. "Mada mada dane..."
Shaking his head ruefully, Ryoma headed towards the direction for home.
