Chapter 204 - I am not a lesbian (1/2)

With a smile on her face, Mika made an emergency stop right at the entrance of the restaurant. A man wearing a valet uniform quickly went to the driver side to open the door for her. Another man wearing the same uniform also went to Ryn's side to open the door.

Both women got out of the car. Mika handed her key to the valet who opened her door. Then, she skipped toward Ryn happily.

”Let's go in,” Mika wrapped her arm around Ryn's. She pulled her best friend toward the door, so happy to finally having dinner with her.

The waiter quickly brought them to their table. Ryn hid a smile seeing it decorated with a vase of fresh red roses. It felt like this was a romantic candlelit dinner instead of a normal dinner both of them had in the restaurant.

Despite her amusement, Ryn just accepted when the same male waiter pulled a chair for her to sit on. Then, he did the same to Mika.

”Your meals will be served in a few more minutes, ” he announced politely. His smile never left his face.

Mika nodded her head slightly at the waiter. But the gentleness and the regal atmosphere was shattered once the waiter left them. Mika's eyes shone with excitement as she looked at Ryn.

”So, what do you think? Do you like this place?” She asked eagerly.

Ryn took her time to look around before back at Mika.

”It looks okay. But why do we have to eat here? Why didn't we go to our usual place?” Ryn asked. She had to move the vase aside so she could see Mika's face clearly.

Mika shrugged. She then rested her chin on her hands and gazed at Ryn.

”Are you okay?” Ryn asked, a bit weird to receive such a tender look from her best friend. Of course, she was used spending time with Mika, especially those nights they were having their pyjama parties, but this time the gaze was such full of love and longing, it made her feel a bit uncomfortable.

”I'm fine. The best I feel today,” Mika replied.

Ryn pursed her lips thoughtfully. Then, she suddenly announced, ”I am not a lesbian.”

Mika's brows lifted in surprise.

”So don't think weirdly about me,” Ryn added, a bit worriedly.

”I know, silly. I know your sex preference,” Mika giggled. She was relieved when she understood what made Ryn said that. How silly could Ryn be thinking she thought Ryn prefered women? Ryn was her big brother's ex-girlfriend and soon to be her sister-in-law!

”Then... why...?” Ryn looked at her table, at the vase of rose, with worried eyes.

”Those?” Mika pointed at the rose with a grin. ”Don't you think it's fun to have a candlelit dinner with my best friend?”

”It's not funny at all. You almost made me... well, I was shocked,” Ryn admitted with a frown.
