For the next twenty minutes, Shiina and I stayed on that balcony, silently gazing into the horizon or at each other. At times, we’d bring up a topic to talk about but we ultimately skirted away from discussing the current state of our relationship.
Well, she did confess. Or we could take that one as a confession and I accepted it. I got to hear her side and the reason why she felt that way. However, that doesn't mean she’s going to become one of my girls right away.
While it’s true that I’m also becoming interested in her, it’s not to the point of falling in love with her. Besides, even if I didn’t say it explicitly, Shiina understood it. That’s why she said that I shouldn’t feel pressured about giving her an answer.
She’s even planning on looking for me at school if given the chance. And honestly, I’m looking forward to that. Sounds like I’ll be getting courted again, no?
