He had never been to such luxurious places before. But today, he took his girlfriend to dinner, so he can't choose a bad restaurant.
Rika looked at the prices of the menu items. She speaks. "After this, you must not lead me to this place again."
"Why?" Key asked with a bewildered face.
"Because... I prefer rustic eateries." Rika makes an excuse. She knows that Key is not rich enough to provide her with delicious and expensive treats.
Key thought for a while, and finally, he understood what she meant. "Don't worry about money matters. Now that I have a steady job, I can take care of you."
"But I don't want you to spend it lavishly. You can eat anywhere, as long as it's good."
Key smiled, he couldn't help it and placed a kiss on his girlfriend's cheek. Rika is a girl who understands.
Rika glared, looking around. "How dare you? If someone sees it, what should I do?"
Her expression is adorable. Key chuckled as he looked at her.
In the room, with lamps hanging from the ceiling, casting a warm, soft yellow light on Rika's hair, Key stopped and stared at her unconsciously.
After a while, as if she noticed his gaze, Rika raised her head slightly and asked. "What's up? Why are you looking at me? What's on my face?"
Key shook his head, smiling softly. "No. It's just... I find you adorable."
Rika glared at him.
The waiter came to take the food. Key asked for a bottle of red wine.
He poured wine into a glass for her. The small green porcelain cup, she lifted, brought it to her mouth. The liquid gently rippled, and the light on the glass shimmered and blurred. He watched her drink it all in one go.
They just drank a little wine and then they ate together.
Finally, they walked out of the restaurant, the night breeze gently brushing their hands, and it was then that Rika noticed her cheeks burning. Tonight, Rika is having a good time.
Inside the car, Rika was concentrating on looking out the window when she suddenly thought of something. She raised her head and looked at Key beside her.
"Key, tomorrow is the weekend, let's go on vacation, okay? Let's book a hotel in the coastal city." Rika said with a serious voice.
"Okay," Key replied immediately.
Before continuing to look at the nightscape outside, she suddenly remembered that she didn't have a swimsuit. Because she has never been to the beach, she doesn't buy a bikini. So she hesitated to speak.
"Can you... come with me to buy some bikinis?"
"OK." Key smiled seeing how awkward she was.
Both of them went to the shopping mall in the city. Rika picked out each bikini at the counter and showed it to Key.
"What do you think? Which is good?"
Key just glanced at it and then turned away. He pointed at the black swimsuit she was holding in her hand.
"I think this suits you," Key said softly. And Rika realized he was shy. She couldn't help but smile.
A few salesmen put their hands to their mouths and giggled at Key's actions. In their eyes, his reaction looks cute.
Rika looked at the bikini Key pointed to. "Wait here. I'll try." She said hurriedly and went into the changing room.
Trying on a dress, she looked at herself in the mirror. The design looks cute and it's not too revealing. It's a lace collar bra. It covers her cleavage and the color covers the size of her breasts. While the panties are also designed as mini skirts. It hides her hips and v-line.
It is a wise choice. Key knows how to choose a good style for her. Of course, he never lets any man see his girlfriend's body. Rika was pleased with his choice and changed clothes before paying for the bikini.
Then they bought a few other items for their holiday.
The next day, Key's last car drove up the highway, the sunlight outside the window was blinding, Rika pulled back the curtains, closed her eyes, and rested.
When they got there, it was almost noon.
The sun was still bright, but anyway, it was still cooler in the sea than in the city, the wind blowing in brought moisture and a salty taste, covering every inch of exposed skin.
Sorting out the room, and packing up, Key and Rika gathered at the restaurant to eat.
It is just a wooden house, without windows, surrounded by low balconies, in front of a vast blue beach.
Rika's eyes lit up, took out her camera and took a picture.
The meal was over and the two went to the beach. The beach is quite crowded.
Worried that Rika might get lost, Key stretched out his hand. "Let me hold your hand, so you won't get lost. There are a lot of people here."
Rika nodded and held Key's hand. The two went for a walk on the beach.
Now and then Rika takes out her camera and clicks a few times to take beautiful pictures of her surroundings.
After sunset, the two walked back to the hotel. As Rika stood in front of the elevator, she suddenly felt she needed to go to the bathroom.
"Key, you go first. I need to go to the bathroom now. I can't help it. See you later." She ran quickly to the left side of the lobby.
Before Key could say anything, Rika was already far away from him. He turned his back and bumped into someone.
That woman almost fell to the floor. Fortunately, Key was faster and held the woman's body with one of his hands.
"I'm sorry. I was careless. Are you okay?" Key helps the woman to get up properly.
"It's okay. Make sure you'll be more careful after this." She spoke in a simple voice. She brushed the dusty grains of sand off her clothes and straightened her messy hair.
It was an elderly woman.
"Ah.. thanks for helping me. By the way, I'm Jade." She looked up at the young man in front of her. She was stunned for a moment before returning to reality.
"I'm.." Just as Key wanted to greet her back, someone from behind shouted Jade's name.
"Jade. Hurry up. We're late." A middle-aged man gestured to her from afar.
Jade smiled at Key as she spoke hastily. "Nice to meet you." She waved her hand and walked over to the middle-aged man who had stepped out into the hallway.
A sense of familiarity welled up inside Key when he made contact with Jade.
