"Harukaaaa i'm thirsty !! Where did you get this drink ??" Airi's smile whined in Haruka's ear, the latter was holding a colorful drink that seemed cold as hell. Airi needed that now. Haruka grunts and hands her drink for Airi to take a sip. When she sees than Airi was gonna drink more than a sip, she takes it back with a frown. As for Minori, she was sprawled on her towel, tanning in front of the water, with a blessed look on her face.
"That little bar over there" Haruka says, pointing to where the bar was. Airi follows her finger and sees, just like Haruka said, a little bar. It was empty at the moment, and the barista was arranging the glasses and cups on the counter with a towel on the shoulder. The barista was a tall woman, with light blue hair. She had a lean body and a great posture, just like a model. Since she was pretty far away, Airi couldn't really make out her face, but she saw enough to be gawking at her.
"Wow." Airi says very smartly. Haruka grins and gives a little pat on Airi's back. "Yes, wow. Won't you go and order something, mhm ? She seems to be catching your eye." Haruka says teasingly.
"B-but, there's nobody at the bar, is it even opened..?"
"Me and Minori ordered like, five minutes ago, it'll be okay if you go now."
"I see… then i'll get going !" Airi's says with determination, fixing her hair and sliding her sunglasses - which were on her head- on her nose, so that no one could figure what she was looking at !
Airi starts walking towards the bar, trying really hard to seem confident.
When she arrives, the pretty barista is cleaning up the counter with a wet towel. Airi places herself on a space that already dried up and leans on her elbows.
"Hey there." Airi greets with a grin. At this, the barista turns around and flashes the prettiest smile Airi has ever seen, but it was mildly apologetic.
"Aah sorry miss, the bar will be closed for an hour.."
Airi smiles and shakes her head, "Don't worry, the drinks weren't what caught my eye anyway." She says, smirking, her throat still burning of thirst.
"Oh ! It's true that the bar is pretty awesome haha ! I'm glad that someone likes it." The blue haired girl answers with a happy smile.
Airi holds herself back from giggling, endeared by the barista's cluelessness. She shamelessly stare at the girl's face, noticing a lot of details. Her eyes were light blue, mirroring her hair, and she had
"Well, if you're going on break, then i must leave ! Sorry for the bother !" Airi's smile settles on that, she wouldn't want to disturb a pretty girl's break after all.
"No, wait ! You can stay, spending my break with someone isn't a bother at all."
Airi is surprised by this outcome, but is actually really happy. "My, my, i'm glad that my company is appreciated !" Airi says with a grin. The pretty girl chuckles, "of course, i can even make you a drink."
"Seriously ?"
"I can make exceptions sometimes, especially with someone as cute as you." The barista said with a wink. Is she flirting with me ???? No way, she's just being friendly. Still, her aura was so strong ! Airi had to clutch at her shirt to not lose herself ! She was certain to see sparkles around the woman.
SO BRIGHT !! Definitely a model !!
Airi orders a lemon soda, and while she was preparing it, the barista asked some basic questions to Airi, like her name and how long she was staying here. Airi learns that the barista's name is Shizuku, and she is indeed a model, just like Airi guessed earlier. Their conversation is fluid and fun, but Airi can't about anything else other than this fact : Shizuku is oblivious as hell. Airi has been flirting with her for the whole thing, and she doesn't seem to catch the drift. Maybe she doesn't swing that way.. Airi thinks, sighing.
Airi has summoned all of her flirting capacities, she has game ! (Haruka would laugh at her face if she said that to her.)
She started with a classic one, she leaned more on the counter, her hand beneath her chin. "Your shirt is very pretty, but i think that you'd look better without it." Good job, Airi, smooth as hell !
"Oh ? You're right, i have better shirts than this one…" Shizuku remarks, looking down to stare at her shirt. Airi mentally facepalms. Seriously ?!!
"Your shirt is very cute as it is, Shizuku !"
Airi can't give up now ! She has to keep going, even if she was growing more and more nervous, Shizuku manipulating her stools was attractive as hell ! Anyways !!! Let's go Airi.
"I want you to focus on the first three words of this sentence." So fucking smooth Airi hehe . Shizuku pauses and focus, and then she trips over something. The glass she was holding fell to the ground and breaks. Shizuku stares at it and then at Airi, with a deep red blush and embarrassment written all over face.
"Sorry, Airi-chan, your drink will take more time to arrive.." Shizuku says shyly. Airi takes that as a win, actually. She finds the whole situation so fucking funny, it makes Shizuku so much more endearing than she already was. She's so cute!!!!
"It's okay, take you time, Shizuku. It'll make our time together even longer anyway !"
Shizuku nods happily and starts preparing another drink.
"Here's you drink, Airi-chan !" Shizuku hands Airi her lemon soda with a glowing smile. Airi takes off her sunglasses and also gives her a bright grin.
"Thanks !" She takes a sip, and it doesn't feel like she's dying anymore.
"How is it ?" Shizuku asks, leaning on the counter, the action makes Airi's heart skip a beat.
"Really sweet ! Just like you." Airi smirks, winking again. Shizuku seems to be focused on her eyes, well, it's true that they were covered by her shades for the whole thing. Shizuku blushes and turns her head, not facing Airi anymore.
"Oh please.." a pause. "Your eyes are really pretty, Airi-chan." She says with a bashful smile.
Great counter attack !! Airi thinks, it's now her turn to blush. She takes another sip of her cold drink to regulate her breathing.
"T-thanks !" She finally says. Well, maybe Shizuku was flirting back… ughhh she's so prettyyyyyy
"Oh by the way ! How much is the drink ?"
"It's on the house. Let's say that it's a form of apology for earlier."
"Wow." Airi says dumbly, again. "T-thanks."
"It's nothing ! Thank you for coming all the way here, my break couldn't have been more fun." Shizuku says with a warm and honest smile. Airi wants to kiss her. She takes another sip.
"Hehe, i do have that effect."
Shizuku giggles and walks away to find something in a drawer. Airi can see her side profile now, so fucking pretty !!!! Her hair falls perfectly on her back, and her eyes are focused, searching for something. She lets out a cute "aha !" when she finds what she was looking for.
While Shizuku goes at the other side of the bar, Airi just drinks her drink while observing her surroundings. She turns around to see what Haruka and Minori are up to, they seem to be lying on the sand, very close to cuddling. Good for them… Airi thinks with a fond sigh. She finishes her drink and stands up, she takes a look at Shizuku. The latter is holding a crumpled piece of paper in her hand.
"Airi-chan, here." Shizuku hands her the piece of paper, Airi accepts it and unfolds it. On it was written a phone number. HOLY SHIT!!!
"W-wow." Airi says, dumbly. "Thanks." She wasn't expecting for her flawless flirting to actually work !
"I'd like to learn more about you, Airi-chan. It was fun !"
"Me too, see ya !!" She says with a wink, before turning around and leaving.
She walks fast to have a proper reaction. She squeaks and stare at the paper again.
Lets fucking go !!!!
She doesn't know that Shizuku is doing the same, blushing messily and heaving a sigh of relief.
When she arrives at Haruka's and Minori's level, she sits down next to them.
"So ? How'd it go ?" Haruka asks, and Minori straightens up.
"Hehehe ! I got her number !" Airi says as she shows the piece of paper triumphantly.
"Wow Airi-chan !!!!! You have game alright !" Minori exclaims, stretching her limbs. Haruka looks at her and arches an eyebrow, "how did you do it ?" She snorts.
"Are doubting me ?" Airi pouts, "i summoned all of my best flirting tactics ! And it worked ! Are you jealous ?" Airi says with a smirk. Haruka sighs fondly with an amused glint in her eyes. "Tell me about it." She says.
"Well, I am jealous, because that barista was so so so pretty !!!" Minori says.
"I bet you couldn't even form a normal sentence when talking to her to order." Airi jokes, pointing an accusing finger at Minori.
"Ugh!!", "yep, she was a blushing mess." Haruka says unimpressed.
Airi shakes her head and stands up again, she turns around to look over the little bar, and the blue haired barista was looking at her too.
