Chapter 3

My Familiar Stranger

Time flew by, the day became night. Mina and Momo spent hours and hours just talking about themselves, and arguing about which is better, ketchup or mayonnaise

"C'mon Momo, just admit that ketchup is better than mayonaise"

"Noooo, mayonnaise is way better than ketchup. Dip some nachos in mayo and boom you can taste heaven"

 

Mina furrowed her eyebrows while Momo only gave her an intimidating smirk, to which Mina finds very cute and quite y.

 

"But you must admit that fries are great with ketchup"

 

Momo wasn't entirely bitter, she admits that ketchup and fries is a match made in heaven

 

"Hmmm, I'll give you points for that I guess"

"Aha! So you are agreeing that ketchup is better!"

A giggle from the older girl, seeing Mina brighten up like that made her happy, really happy. She stared at Mina's gummy smile, the way her face lights up brighter than the city lights, the way her eyes sparkle. Its just something Momo would like to see everyday

 

"Is there something on my face?"

Mina timidly asked. A blush creeping from her cheeks.

 

"You know, mayo and ketchup is good by itselves right?"

 

Mina nodded

 

"Well yeah, mayo is good with nachos"

"And fries is good with ketchup"

 

They stared each other for a while then Momo leaned both of her elbows on the table. Mina sat there, thinking what kind of magic does this girl in front of her have. She isn't really great with interacting with people, especially people whom she just met. But Momo, Momo made her feel so comfortable its like they've known each other for years.

 

"But, mayo together with ketchup"

 

She poured some mayo on the empty plate and poured some ketchup on it as well

 

"They make a really amazing combination"

 

She mixed it both with the remaining fries on their plate and offer mina a fry. The latter gladly accepted it and gently ate it. Savoring the tangy taste of mayo and the the sour yet sweetness of ketchup

 

"I think we should head out now, its getting quite dark"

It indeed was, and the staffs were already cleaning the place up, waiting for the two of them to finish.

"Yeah, lets bounce" Momo smiled and stood up first

 

- 10:00 pm

 

The lights were awake and so were the nocturnal people, thats what Mina likes to call party goers at clubs. They were on their way home and none of them seem to breaking the ice. Is been two minutes and they only shared a nice weather tonight and nothing else.

Mina has a lot of questions in mind, but at the very moment she can't let it all out cause she still can't believe how she coincidentaly met Momo at the cafe and spending 5 hours with her, the pig tails that her mind kept on bugging her all night. She couldn't just let it sink in and how their day went on so smoothly without any awkwardness, that is until tonight

"Um.."

Momo's attention was immediately caught by Mina

"I live their, across the park that we um..met"

"Oh I see, its a good thing that you came home quickly and safely after our meeting" a giggle from the older girl Mina thanked that the were walkig through a quite shady place so that Momo couldn't see her tinted cheeks They stopped at the park as they were to part ways there. Mina wish time stopped and give them more time to talk.

"So where do you live Momo?"

"I uh..think its that way?" Momo scratched her nape while letting out a nervous laugh

"I'm bad at directions"

"Don't tell me you're just going to guess your way back home"

"Not entirely, you see I'm meeting up with my friend at a nearby bar, so its safe to say I'll live another day and not sleep here in the park" They both let out a chuckle. Mina sighs in relief, there is no need to worry.

"Well, this is goodbye?"

"No goodbyes Mina, just next time, okay?" Mina nodded and smiled warmly to Momo

"So you don't like goodbyes?" Momo could only pout and Mina swore she could shriek right here right now, but her mind said other wise

"I-I'll take that as a no then.."

"No goodbyes okay? I'm sure we'll see each other again. Like, planned and not coincidentaly again"

"Hmmm, should we?" Mina teased. Momo could only giggle then gently grabbed Mina's palm

"Dial this then tell me when" she gently placed a folded table napkin on Mina's hand. Slowly walking away from her and waved

"I'm one call away Mina, see yah!" Mina watched as Momo's figure slowly disappeared at the distance

Damn Momo and her smoothness

Mina gently opened the table napkin and smiled at how cute Momo's writing was. It was like a 10 year old wrote it, with doodles of mayo and ketchup beside her number.

Smooth indeed for a toddler minded chick

-

Mina reached her apartment door, before she could insert her key her phone rang Sana was calling

"Right on time miss snake"

"Yeah yeah, are you homey,honey?~"

"Please stop calling me that"

"Awwww you're so meaaaan" Mina slid her key in and went inside

"You partying again?"

"Yeah, but, I have to head home now I have someone important to meet right now"

"Oh wow, more important than clubbing?"

"Lets say I kinda have priorities now"

"One of your girlfriends?"

"Pfff, I wish, I mean the girl is cute and kinda hot but meeeeh not my style Mina"

"Seriously, where is Sana?"

"Harhar Myoui" Mina could hear Sana calling her "prioritized girl" by shouting HEEEEEEY 

"Welp she's here,you busy tomorrow?"

"Nah,I don't have classes-"

"Good good, come by to my place tomorrow"

"But why? Are you trying to use me as bait for your girls again?"

"I've change Minaring" Mina could only roll her eyes and slowly shifted on the bed and to stare at the view from her window

"Again, why?"

"I want you to meet my room mate!"

Mina wasn't really comfortable with meet ups. Usually Sana introduces her friends to Mina but in the end Mina just stays silent around them

"I don't know Sana.."

"Pleaseeee I'm doing a favor for my room mate, she doesn't have any friends cause she just moved here"

"Then you're her?"

"I'm her room mate slash sister now"

"Does she know that you claimed her as your sister? Does she WANT you to be her sister?"

"MYOUI YOU'RE SO MEAN TO ME" Mina could only laugh at the whining Sana

"Fineee fine sorryyyy, I'll go there at 1"

"You better give me kisses hmp"

"A hug will do, right Minatozaki?"

"Okay then thats enough hihihi"

"I'm gonna sleep now, goodnight Sanake"

"Erkey then, sleep well honeeeeey~"

At the end of the call, Mina slowly oepned her drawer and pull out the table napkin Momo gave her. She dialed the number and set a nickname "Momoring"
