For a while, Gary had been playing out scenarios in which he would ask Xin out. How to make it sound casual and cool, and not at all desperate, needy or obsessive. Unable to find a solution, he had been lagging behind as he had followed her.
However, when he saw she was faced with four men belonging to the red colour gang, he just had to act. Afterwards, Xin had demanded an explanation as to why he had been there… so he had admitted to the truth.
Time seemed to have slowed down, his heart beating faster as he nervously awaited her answer. Still, he had finally done it. He had asked her out… well, technically, he had asked her to fight him again. In his head he had convinced himself he was just asking her to a fight and that's how he had finally said those words.
What he didn't expect, though, was the fast reply.
“Oh, okay. Sure, I'll go on a date with you.” Xin replied, after only a few moments of thinking things over. Gary's brain was unable to process the words. If he had been a robot, he would have surely short-circuited. Shaking his head, he just had to ask for clarification.
“I'm sorry, are you yes to a date? Don't we have to have a match first?” Gary asked.
“Given your little performance, I think we can skip the duel. You helped me out back there, and it doesn't seem like you were lying about the liking me part. Besides, I have taken a bit of an interest in you myself ever since your rugby match performance.
“I don't see any harm in getting to know each other better. But, errr, let's schedule things another time, alright?” Xin spoke, looking behind Gary, as she could see that those that would usually pick her up were getting a bit restless.
