the lost cat

Nothing so serious tonight, just relishing in the sublime finish from the Frenchman.

One afternoon, she caught me smoking, and scolded me, saying I had been reading too much Murakami; I just nodded while stubbing the cigarette on the sole of my shoe. Again she scolded me again for ruining my shoes. Afterwards there was no awkward moment as we walked home silently, not a word said between us, she had her arm linked into mine. The sun was slowly setting and the world seemed perfect, except for the hunger brewing in my stomach. Ryoko heard my stomach rumble and grinned pointing to the noodle bar just 5 feet away from us. We stormed in and sat straight down.

I wasn’t a Japanese noodle bar, but a Thai one instead, of course or the hunger now taking over. I choose the first beef dish I saw, while Ryoko ordered something or other I never knew, she could speak Thai as well, putting my French to shame.

We began talking about the films but ended up with talking about love. I told her I would do anything for a girl, my heart so convinced of this, spilling out like all the colours of the rainbow. Ryoko paused for a moment, wondering what to make of my words. She brushed the right of hair to the side, and I could see her beautiful eyes. I would have liked to say they shimmered in the street light, but that would have been a lie, they didn't catch the light as I hoped. I rested my hand on the table and she placed hers on top of mine.

She liked soba noodles the best, but was sure they didn't serve them here.
