What route do you take?

Enjoy.

~~~~~

We didn't have any Gigi votes as of 12/6/2020. Surprised, but since there is only two paths, we go two routes. Let's get it. We are going A sections be on the Ranko route. Then B sections of chapters be the stay single or not proceed with Ranko. It will be interesting. There is a twist to it as well. 

8A - 

You looked over and watched Ranko go over the clothing racks. Then in the back corner of the shelves. Then over to Ranko. "She is just so, what's the word? It's probably more than one word."

Miro smirked. She had a rough idea of what was going on. "Smoking? Beautiful? Talk to be boy. Something in that regard? What's it to you? What are you to her?"

"I guess she said friends with benefits? She told me if I wanted a hookup sometime to buy protection and let her know. I think that's all she wants. Are you sure about all of this?"

"She's here to try clothes on for you. What else did you think she invited you for? To go bowling? To play golf? We go bowling once in a while but that's not the point."

"Do I look like Frozone or James Bond? Obviously I came here for, her I suppose. Yeah... You know, I think you're onto something. She wanted me to come?"

"Well Gigi wanted to know if she had a chance if Ranko said no. Didn't give us a clear yes or no at that either. Imagine that. What's your reasoning behind trying to pick up other girls?"

There was no reason to lie. Miro was smart. You could not wiggle out of this if you tried. "I thought I had confidence to find a legit girlfriend. Everything I was worried about is gone. Outside getting a girl pregnant for obvious reasons. Miro am I wrong for thinking that when she just walked out of my house casually and didn't want something committed? Was I used to get her off or be some sort of play thing?"

"Play thing. Hmmm, not sure. Look, she told us everything. It's fine. Seems like you really know how to make a girl go crazy. But how about this? How was the other day? Was she flirty or just forward? Like, did the two of you kiss and have foreplay or was it more direct?"

"I want to say that was just direct." You replied.

"Was it or not?" Miro crossed her arms.

"I think I kissed her maybe twice or so. It wasn't this passionate making out and saying I'm ready for you like what I thought it would be. She asked me if I wanted it and she kind of wanted to go right into it. Not something I expected. Was off guard."

Miro had an idea. Just to settle things or put it in a direction where she can see it clearly. "How about you go over there and just talk to her. Complement her. See what color works for her. Flirt with her."

"Guess I'll go for it. Wish me luck. If not, guess back to the drawing board." You shrugged and walked over to Ranko and the racks. Not her rack, the racks. Yes, clothes rack. No giggity. I digress... You walk yourself over to Ranko. "What's happening?"

Ranko looked over her shoulder. "Oh, hey you. What's up?" That was fast. No Miro either. I wonder what he's up to. "I won't be too long."

"I'm not in a rush either. You do your thing. I'm just here I guess."

"Seemingly so." She knelt down to the bottom rack. This isn't even my color. But I'll know if he's checking me out. Though she noticed that he walked to the right and looked up over at a bright color. Seriously? What's he looking at? "What do you see over there?"

"You a summer or a winter?" You asked.

"More winter. Why?"

"I didn't think the light blue would be it. Though I think any color mostly is good with that tan."

He's good. For a beginner. "Not bad. And yes, good call. I don't know Baby, black or white for the leggings?"

"Both? I can't possibly pick. I know how it goes and it makes it so hard."

"Alright. Now some skirts for when I get out of school and such. Maybe a blouse that doesn't feel too tight. I'm weighing it." Ranko looked straight towards you. "What do you think? Be honest with you? Too tight around the boobs? Is it my bra color? The tie outside of school?"

"You have your own style. I'm still learning what it is. You look amazing. I'm not sure what else to really say or go about it. You know how you look, you tease me about it, and I'm not sure what you're trying to get out of me in public."

She giggled. "You are smart boy-toy."

"That's another thing. Why am I your toy? I'm not an object."

She shook her head. "You're not."

"Ranko, what am I? To you? You didn't want me finding a girlfriend. Are you saying that because of what's in my pants?"

"Well-"

"Just what is it? I want to know. I know your friends didn't call me here just for a guy's opinion. Any one of you could find a guy in the mall and he would be more than happy to go along with it. So why me?"

Ranko had to come up with something. Saying cute wasn't going to be enough. "I was going to give it a couple days and go from there originally. But I was considering it."

"What? Me?" You seemed surprised. "You left my house pretty quick."

"I was dick drunk. Don't mind me."

"Fine, fine. So what do you want to do from here?"

She smiled. "Let's hangout with the girls today and we go from there. How's that?"

"Pretty good actually."

~~~~~

8B-

"Miro, I don't think she wants that relationship. I don't want to be known as the guy who only has a girlfriend because of body parts."

"I understand." Cooed Miro. "We aren't the only girls here today. Maybe you can find one. Might be a good idea. But remember it's different from being at school. Catch her alone or with a friend. Don't approach a group of girls over three. Except us of course." Meaning herself, Ranko, and Gigi.

"I doubt it. Though is trying at school such a big deal? Or is Ranko going to block every girl I see? I can't sit down to eat lunch with a girl? I mean-"

Miro walked up to you. "Shhh." She whispered. "I'll take good care of you. Don't worry about it."

You smiled. "Good to know. So, what's next? I hangout until someone shows up?"

"Well you would really be a dick if you just took off. Ya know?"

"Yeah..."

"Come on." She started walking. "Maybe I can walk you through this as you hangout. Might learn something." That's almost a dating coach at this pace. Can't deny that. Have to go for it.

"And what are you looking for?"

"What you'll learn the most. Especially if you're in here. I'm going bra shopping."

"Ummm..."

Don't be afraid of what path you take.
