We finally caught up with the others as they give us teasing looks. Ran had another round of explanation as the boys just laughed at the flustered boy.
I was getting flustered as well but all I could do was cover my face in embarrassment.
After the bickering, we all decided to part ways. As we all said farewell, Arthur suddenly called Ran, making us look at him.
"Ran! You sure you can drive?" Arthur asked.
He tilted his head in confusion.
I understood what Arthur meant and spoke to him Japanese.
"You drank, right?" I reminded him.
An imaginary light bulb lit up inside his head as he finally realized the situation.
"Shit.." He muttered under his breath.
Even though he didn't drink a lot, we aren't going to take that risk of him driving me back to Milan and driving back to his apartment.
Me, Ran, and Arthur stood in silence as we thought about what's going to happen next.
"I can just take the train, guys.. It's fine!" I assured them.
Arthur looked at his watch and looked back at me.
"No.. It's too late." He shook his head.
I looked at my phone to see the time.
'8:46pm'
'That's considered late?'
"What? Really?" Ran questioned, making me look at the two men.
Arthur nodded sadly.
'Hmmm.. doesn't Ran know the timings by now?'
I eyed the two volleyball players but shrugged it off, believing in Arthur's information. After a moment of brain storming, Arthur suddenly lifted his index finger, indicating he had something to say.
"Well.. I have a great idea!" Arthur clasp his hands, looking at both me and Ran.
"Why don't you sleep over at Ran's place?" He smirked as he crossed his arms.
Ran and I looked at each other with wide eyes as blood started to rush to our cheeks. We both looked away from each other, towards the tall man and both said in unison;
"HA?!"
------------------------------------------------------------------
"Do you want anything to drink?" Ran asked, as he peeked over from the kitchen.
I nodded my head.
"Can I have some water?" I squeaked.
He chuckled and nodded his head.
'Why are you so nervous, Rika?'
As I sat myself down on the couch, I observed his living room area. I looked at the shelves and noticed that he had a Haikyuu manga collection displayed on his shelf.
'Of course..'
He came out of the kitchen, with a glass of water when all of a sudden my heart starts beating faster. Suddenly, everything was slowed down and I could just feel the butterflies fluttering in my stomach.
He didn't do anything special. He just came out of the kitchen, walking with a glass of water in his hand.
'So, why the fuck am I like this?'
