*Rowan's POV*
Words cannot describe how awkward I feel right now, what was I really thinking? it's not like I would've kissed her it was supposed to be a harmless joke... but I suppose she doesn't have the same humor that I do. I sigh and sat on the couch after cleaning the kitchen thinking of an apology, I doubt that I can talk much since she's still a bit angry... I can give it a try "For God's sakes.. I'll just let her cool down for a while..." I look outside the window and the rain didn't had any signs of stopping "Well.. guess I'll hang out in here" suddenly my phone buzzed and I picked it up.
"Hello?" "Morning Rowan! I just called you to tell you that we're ready to go to the beach! you guys ready?" I sigh "Morning Larisa, we're.. not really ready, give us a couple of hours and we are ready to go.. and isn't it Winter?" "Spring is around the corner, besides who says whenever we're going it's cold? oh and bring 650 dollars okay?~" my face dropped when I heard that "For what?" "If you don't want to sleep outside or in the car.. you should know why you need money" "Alright fine, how much time are we gonna stay though?" "A whole week" well, I guess we can take a break right? "Alright, we're in!" "Oh and one last thing.. you know how to drive right?" "Yeah I do, why?" "Because Joseph is scared of crashing the car.. maybe you should drive it to the hotel" "Okay, I can do that.. have a nice day Larisa" I hang up the phone and I look at the weather "With a weather like this we sure can go to the beach.." "Beach? have I heard that right?"
I look at my right to see Hariko standing on the stairway with her tail wiggling "Y-Yeah.. we're going to the beach.. later at night or tomorrow" she jumps in excitement and a smile appears on her face "Since I was little I wanted to go! are we really going?" "Yes.. wanna go get a swim suit?" everything to make her forget about my earlier... mishap "What about my tail and ears? they're gonna be visible" "You can wear something to cover your tail and a hat to cover your ears, when you want to go in the water you take off that something of you revealing you swim suit and quickly get into the water" she looked at me a bit confused "I guess that can work..? we'll see for better solutions.. now let's go!" "Wait a second Hariko.." I stand up and grabbed my backpack "Put it on your back" she does as I told and she gives me a blank expression, she's oddly.. cute like this "Why do I have to wear this?" I grab her tail and put it behind the schoolbag "Now, try not to move your tail and we're good" "That's actually smart Rowan.. alright let's go!" she grabs my hand and pulls me outside, at least she's not showing any signs of anger.
*Time skip*
The rain was still going and Hariko was quite happy, or maybe she's good at hiding her anger? "Should I get a 2 piece swimsuit?" "You can get whatever you want.. it's about your liking anyway" "First of all.. I want you to like it too.. after all you are a little pervert" she punched my shoulder and damn she punches like a truck.. "That was for whatever you attempted earlier.. do that again and it's gonna end worse" I rub my shoulder as I quickly nod my head "Sorry.. I just.. felt like it" she gives me a poker face but luckily doesn't hit me again "Whatever, just don't do it again and we're cool, let's go" with that we both stepped inside the store and there were a lot of women inside along with some men.
Hariko was already in the 2 pieces swimsuit section and she looked concerned "Are you gonna take a swimsuit related to foxes?" "Not really, I just want a swimsuit that looks cute on me" "Everything would look cute on you, guess we're gonna stay a while here huh?" "How about you choose for me?" I looked around but nothing really catches my eye "Uh.. can't you just do it?" "You may come up with a good idea" she walks to a swimsuit and looks at it "I don't really like these.. I'll look at some one piece swimsuits" with that she walks off and I sigh, to be honest many of the choices were questionable at best... "Come on store.. give me something great" I didn't wanted to go to more stores because it would be very time consuming, after a couple of looking sessions I spotted a pretty decent swimsuit "Alright.. hope she likes it" the swimsuit was pretty simple, white with bright red trims.
I tapped Hariko's shoulder who was still looking for a swimsuit "I think I found something pretty decent" I hold out the piece of clothing and she looks at it "It looks okay.." she grabs the swimsuit from my hand and went into a changing room, her body will look great in that swimsuit anyway.. because she has a decent body, not the best but it's far more good that most of the girls "By the way Hariko, do you even know how to swim?" "Yeah I do, come in" I raise an eyebrow before I take a breath and peeked inside of the changing room "H-how do I look?" she was shily covering herself as her tail was wrapped around her thigh, can she get any cuter than this "It looks good... want to try something else or you're cool?" she things for a while before her fox ears stood up "Yeah let's try out some more options".
*Time skip*
After a while she finally decided what to buy, one of them were related to a fox.. of course, as the other was dark purple with black lines "So when are we going?" "As I said.. later at night or tomorrow" I reach for my phone and called Laura "Oh and by the way.. Laura thinks we're dating so try to at least act like it" "I guess I can do that.. I want something in return for that though" "Of course you do.." after a couple of seconds she responds "Hey there Laura, we're ready to go.. when are you guys coming?" "Tomorrow, Joseph is away now doing.. I don't know what, can't wait to see you guys~ especially your girlfriend in a cute swimsuit" she giggles before continuing "Just wake up early, mkay?" with that she hangs up.. "Well, it seems that we have to wait till tomorrow" Hariko rolls her eyes, folding her arms behind her "That's fine... I can wait going to the beach~ hoping you won't be much of a perv though..".
