>Lucky. I grew up poor. Love your parents. But we can all make it.Kaori smiled as Scarlet continued.
>...It's never enough right?Kaori turned to her whiskey glass.
>You can't have one belt. You have to have all of them. You can't just drive 10 over the speed limit. You can't just adopt one dog, you have to adopt them all. Right?Kaori grinned at Scarlet.
>You're absolutely right. Fuck the retards who passed on me. Fuck the dumbass kids who picked on me for being tall. Worked out best for me now, didn't it fuckers?!Kaori cheered Scarlet and took a swig of her whiskey. Until Scarlet mentioned liking tall girls. Kaori struggled to swallow her drink as her face flushed much redder than it was already. Then Scarlet tapped her face.
>I, uh I...Kaori took another swig of whiskey. Liquid courage.
>I thought I'd hate you too. I figured you unappreciative. Selfish. But. I...Kaori half mumbled as she stood up out of her bar stool.
>I...Kaori brushed Scarlet's hair out of her eyes and quickly leaned in and kissed her. She let their lips meet for a couple seconds before Kaori fell back in her barstool.
>S-Sorry not used t-t-to this sorta thing!Kaori, in a rare occasion, was nervous.
>I-I t-thought it was the thing to do! I um, I-I uh...Kaori scrambled to grab her drink, chugging the reminder of the whiskey.
>...I...I really like you. Kaori stared at the bar, but her hand grabbed Scarlet's and squeezed.
>Um, uh, I t-think you live um, a bit a-away. D-Did you wanna c-come back...to um, m-my place...?Kaori asked, staring at the bartop. She had never felt such anticipation in her life. Kaori squeezed Scarlet's hand again.
