Chapter 7: A Productive Weekend
https://i.imgur.com/OT6X8FR.png?1
Kengo spent Saturday morning with his family, since The Cakery was closed that weekend. He began his day with a slightly later than usual breakfast with Molly, Ruby and the twins. Only Masami was missing, having decided to sleep in on her day off.

Next, he repaired the dishwasher, his thoughts leaping ahead to the plans he had for later in the day. He went over and over everything, wanting it to be perfect. He could hear his parents working with the twins on their manners, and had seen Ruby quietly slip downstairs. She had told him last night that she wanted to try handling the restocking alone as a surprise to their parents, and he hoped she did a good job of it.

When Ruby came back up, she joined Kengo in cleaning up the kitchen.
"How did it go?" Kengo asked quietly, making sure the rest of their family was too far away and preoccupied to hear them.
Ruby grinned. "Great. I remembered what you told me."
"Good. When are you going to tell them?"
"When they're done with Ricky and Kimi I guess. When are you meeting Janet?"
Kengo checked the time. "In about an hour and a half. I'm going for a jog first."
"Have fun, and she better not hurt you," Ruby said protectively.
"Thanks for the support," Kengo said.
"You're welcome."

Kengo enjoyed his jog, finding the fresh air energizing, but he kept it short, wanting to be sure he had time to shower and dress before Janet arrived. Wouldn't do to look rushed.

Janet arrived right on time, and Kengo greeted her with an embrace. Conversation flowed easily between the pair as they got to know each other better. Topics ranged from cooking to fitness and whatever else they could think of.
Finally, Kengo said, "The Romance Festival is supposed to be starting soon. Have you ever been?"
Blinking, Janet shook her head. "No... it's pretty crowded, and you know I'm a loner. I guess if I had someone special to go with it might be worth it..." she gave him a meaningful look.
"I haven't been either. We could go together, and if gets to be too much for you, we can leave," he suggested.
Janet considered his offer for a long minute, then slowly nodded. "Sure, we can do that."
"Let's go," Kengo took her hand, not wanting to give her a chance to change her mind.

The evening started out well, with the two of them drinking cups of Sakura Tea together. But Kengo could tell the crowd was making Janet tense, and vowed to do his best to put her at ease.

Kengo found a spot a little away form others where they could talk and Janet hopefully wouldn't feel the press of strangers so much. He flirted outrageously, careful to make sure she knew he was serious and not just influenced by the tea or the romantic aura.

After a few minutes, Janet broke away and retreated into the nearby karaoke bar.
Kengo decided to let his friend go, giving her space while he bought a festival t-shirt and changed into it. When he finally went after Janet, he found her at the karaoke machine. "Janet? Are you all right?"
"Yes. I'm sorry I ran off, I just couldn't take the crowd," she said.
"That's all right. We can hang out in here for a while if you like. It looks pretty empty," he said.
Janet rewarded him with a tentative smile. "You're sure you don't mind?"
Kengo shook his head. "You know I'm attracted to you, and I like everything about you. If you'd have more fun in here than out there, then that's fine with me."
"Thank you, Kengo. I like you too, very much."

After some more flirting and joking, when Kengo was sure Janet was once more at ease, he leaned in and kissed her for the first time. Janet leaned in at the same moment to meet him in a very sweet, tender kiss that was pure perfection as far as Kengo was concerned. He thought Janet enjoyed it just as much as he did, which was good for his ego.

"Janet...will you be my girlfriend?"
Janet's eyes went wide. "Yes!" she answered, kissing him again with more confidence.
Once they'd caught their breath, Kengo whipped out his phone to commemorate the moment with a selfie of the two of them together. Not that he'd need any help to remember the moment Janet agreed to be his girlfriend. It occurred to him that it was nearly a year since they'd met, another good reason to remember the date. He knew he wanted to marry Janet eventually, but he wanted to date her a while first.
"Come home with me. It's a warm night, so we can take a dip int he hot pool," he suggested hopefully."
"All right." Janet smiled, taking his hand.
