A nightmare

And here I am, cleaning the living room. I've been waiting for Amano-san for half an hour already. Maybe she doesn't want to come after all. Why am I so worried?

Another hour passed, and she still hadn't shown up. Where is she, anyway? She's not lost or anything, is she?

I started walking towards the entrance door to go outside and look for her. When I opened it a sudden sight shocked me, Amano-san was standing there with her umbrella by her side. She seemed mad. Wait I am the one who shall be angry, she's more than an hour late. Wait, What if she was standing there this whole time... And that's when I heard:

-You're late!

So she's been here this whole time? Why didn't she knock or something? I was all confused...

-Huh? What are you even doing out here?

-What? I've been waiting the entire time. You wouldn's come out!

-So ring a god damn bell or call or do something to notify me!!!

-Huh? That's a thing?

What??? I know she's rich and everything, but how can she be this stupid. How doesn't she know anything about a bell???

-Are you alone?- she asked.

Of course I am alone. Who was I supposed to be with?

-Of course I am. Everyone else is at work. Sachi... I mean my sis... y-y-your sister is helping them, too, I think.

-Okay.

-Anyway, come in.

-Th-Thanks for having me.

She was rolling her head sideways, looking up and down, right and left as she came in. Of course that's normal for someone who has always lived in a palace to be amazed with the size of our apartment. It is so small even a cat would struggle to roll over. She seems a bit nervous though. Of course she's nervous, I guess. This is Amano-san's marriage parent's place, after all. We went in the living room. I started looking for something in the fridge and she just stood there rolling and tilting her head.

-Find yourself a place to sit down.

-Oh, okay.

And the next thing I knew, she was sitting on a bookshelf. Oh my god! Why???

-There?

-Huh?

-Are you going to sit there? I meant on the floor! Sit on the floor!

-Huh? You sit on the floor?

-Were you going to hang out standing? And why do you still have your shoes on?

I mean how nervous can she be?

Anyways I poured her a glass of juice and we set down. And then the awkwardness began. None of us were communicating so I started thinkig.

I probably shouldn't bring up calling of the engagement right from the start. I need to wait for the right time to tell her.

-Hey... I actually came here because I wanted to ask you for a favor, Nagi-kun.

-A favor?

-I want you to show me around the house.

-Oh, sure, go take a look around.

-Where?

-Where? It's here.

-Eh? Wait, this place isn't a tool shed?!

-Sorry, but that's where I live, I mean me and my family. This is where we live.

-Wait. I hate those kinds of lies!

-And I hate rude people!

-Fine, show me around then.

God, this is going to be a nightmare.

It's been a while.

I had so much fun writing this.
