First Love Chapter 9 Preview

"You did great, Namine! See, I told you the job wouldn't be too hard. Aqua said you'll fit right in!" Kairi pepped, "I'm so excited! I get to work with my bestie!" Namine sat on the bar's tall cushioned chair and watched as her friend wiped down the bar's counter between them. Kairi was humming happily.

"Yeah," Namine smiled, "I look forward to it too."

"So, that's all you had to do today. I'm off my shift soon! What do you want to do afterwards… want to come over my house?"

"Actually…" the blonde spoke humbly, "I think I'm going to stay here a little bit longer."

Kairi stopped wiping and turned to face Namine, "How come?"

Namine tried to hide her bashful expression, "I'm… waiting for someone."

"Oh…?"

"Y-yeah… He's going to be here soon."

Kairi's jaw dropped with exaggeration, "Gasp! It's a boy? Who!" The red heads expression suddenly showed pure interest.

"Um…" Namine's face heated slightly, by the thought of who was going to meet up with her soon. As if on cue, her phone vibrated and beeped. She got a text message. Namine reached for the phone in her pocket and opened the message.

"Oooh, so who is it?"

Kairi, being naturally nosey, tried leaning over the counter to peek at whom just texted Namine. Unsuccessful, she pulled back, when Namine scowled and covered her phone's screen. A cheeky grin appeared on the redheads face anyways. Kairi suddenly let out a cute giggle; and that made Namine wondered what suddenly came into her friends mind.

Namine thought to herself, do I even want to know what's going on in her head? Her cerulean orbs widened as Kairi's grin grew. I'd rather not... Namine looked back down to her phone and continued to read the text. It was from Roxas.

"Hey, it's Roxas. Sorry…but change of plans, I can't make it. I'm really sorry."

When Namine read the text, for some reason her expression turned into disappointment. She hadn't noticed it herself, but her redheaded friend who stood across from her did. Kairi threw the wet towel to the side and leaned onto the counter with her elbows. She rested her chin on one hand and began to drum her fingers on her cheek.

"Fine, you don't have to tell me… I already know who." Kairi said, auspiciously. Namine looked up from her phone and noticed the huge, satisfied smile on her pretty friends face. The blonde blinked, dumbfounded.

"What… how?"

Kairi raised her free hand and waved. It wasn't directed to Namine, but particularly to someone who was standing behind her.
