"Help Me Fall In Love With You"
~Intro~ =)
Everyone should probably know the story of "A walk to remember" right? Well, if you haven't it's about a bad boy falling for a plain Jane. Plain Jane has a sickness. She dies. They married first though. Bad boy changes and has a successful career.
This story is no different. It will in fact involve a girl, a boy, a house, a kiss, some jealous times, and of course we can't forget... Romance.
It also involves, somewhat a broken relationship, a REALLY bad relationship, and, how they help each other, fall in love, with one another.
Which leads us to our quote of the chapter "You can fake a smile, but, you can't fake your feelings"
Our story starts somewhere in Japan. Now these people have known each other for a very long time. Gingga, Madoka, Kenta, Yuu, Tsubasa, Hyoma, Kyouya, and, Benkei.
Let's say in this story, Kyouya owns a fine house. Mansion even! He has a little sister, about the age of 10, named Keanna.
Keanna Tategami, long green hair tied into two buns. Since she refuses to cut her hair, she still has some of her hair sticking out of the buns. She had these green eyes that stared you down as if it was a staring contest. She wasn't that smart.
She loves and cares for her brother dearly. She always thought that everyone's opinions mattered. Especially her brother's. Anyone who would insult him, she would be disgusted. She supported her brother 100%. Every time he had a battle,she would be there, cheering him on. If she couldn't go, she would get all disappointed and say sorry a couple of times.
They had a maid there, whose name wasn't important. Until, the day Kyouya's heart was ripped out. And when no one was around to help, he could now count on that maid.
Kyouya had this 'girlfriend' that he loved very much. He didn't show it outside, of course, because it would ruin his image in his opinion.
His girlfriend, Angela, was pretty. Not Taylor Swift or Megan Fox pretty, but, pretty. She loved to paint. Her hair was color brown and her eyes, a bit green with some white. Her personality checked out okay. The big question is... "How could she, break his heart?"
The answer my fellow readers and/or authors is... She was no longer interested of what she saw in Kyouya. She would think 'Kyouya used to be so sweet... but now, he's acting like a big jerk' All this was true,of course. As I mentioned, Kyouya was changing because he was concerned of his 'cool outlook'.
Angela always hated that, so, when she had enough, she went overboard. She literally screamed at Kyouya everything that was on her mind (or the first thing to come out at least).
Kyouya was disappointed and heartbroken by the disaster that had now happened. He could never tell his sister. Although she found out about it because of his friends. He completely isolated himself from everyone. He never came outside and he would never smile (Although he doesn't smile a lot either). He always thought about all their moments and how he made a mistake.
That's where she comes in. As a maid, you wouldn't expect her to be more than that. But, just like that, she didn't even realize until she carefully analyzed herself that she was now concerned about her masters' son. Let's now introduce this maid as Shimmer Gonzales.
Shimmer Gonzales had nowhere else to go. Although she was beautiful and model-tall, she applied only for a maid. Her blond hair so soft and her big blue eyes just as soft and tender. Slim body as well made her look perfect.
This maid's mother also used to be a maid. She would always stay with her mother in that very house. Since, she has no one to play with besides Kyouya, whom she never even talked to, so she would help her mother in doing the chores.
Kyouya would be absent REAL often. Today was no different. As usual, he didn't 'feel' like going to school so, he didn't. As Keanna said goodbye, and their parents,probably in another country (They worked elsewhere to get lots of money and pay for everything). He was now alone. With a maid. Who cared for him dearly.
"Shimmer!" Kyouya called out.
"Yes?" Shimmer asked.
"Would you get me something to drink?" Kyouya asked, as cold as ever.
"What would you like sir?" Shimmer questioned appropriately, knowing very well he'd probably want beer or something.
"Lemonade." was the cold reply. "For now. And stop saying 'sir'. We're the same age ya' know?"
"Yes." she said feeling quite shy.
"Get some for yourself too, if you'd like." Kyouya offered.
"Alright then." Shimmer then left and retrieved some ice cold lemonade she had prepared.
She handed one lemonade to the oh so mysterious Kyouya.
"Sit with me." he said.
"Oh that's nice but, I have a ton more stuff to do and-" She was cut of when Kyouya spoke.
"That wasn't a request, that was a demand." Kyouya said looking down on the floor.
"Alright then." Shimmer said sitting down on a chair, looking down at her uniform and noticed a stain of lemonade.
"Why don't we do this more often?" Kyouya asked.
"Do what?" She shot back the question to him.
"Hang out and talk." Kyouya answered.
"Probably because you never noticed me before until now, you never invite me to join you, and I have tons of things to do while you usually lie around not doing your homework so when your taking naps I do it for you." she slipped. "Oops."
"So you were the one doing all those equations on my notebook?" Kyouya asked one eyebrow raised.
"Yes." now you can tell her by her voice that she was nervous.
"Why?" Kyouya asked. She was nervous of this question right here.
"Because... I don't go to school and I wanna learn. Since you barely touch your books I thought I would learn then and there."
"How about the things not in the book?" he questioned. "You know that I don't copy my notes."
"I go to Madoka's house and borrow her notes. Then, I write it down on a notebook I made myself using the pages you don't use from your old notebooks." came the smart reply. "I just get like a folder cut it. decorate it, and so on."
"Then why don't you go to school yourself?" Kyouya asked obviously not getting the point.
"I don't have money." Shimmer replied. This was the point. "And maybe the people from your school would make fun of me because I'm not the richest kid on the block ya' know?"
"Get a scholarship." Kyouya suggested. "To think you couldn't have thought of that."
"Well," Shimmer began. "wouldn't you feel weird that your maid is going to your school. Plus you never see me out of uniform."
"It's fine." Kyouya coldly said. "Our school has it's own uniform. I'll ask my parents to sponsor you."
"No. It would be wrong. They already pay me for my services." Shimmer now looked down at the floor, ashamed.
"I'll be the one to settle it." Kyouya now, took notice of her intelligence.
"Well," her lips quivered. "I should get to work. Thank you though."
"Let me help you. There's nothing much to do here anyway." his excuse screamed loud and clear that he was only bored so he offered.
"Well, you could clean up the backyard. Leaves and leaves are covering it." Shimmer smiled.
"Fine." came the cold reply.
"I'll be the one to clean up the garden and clean the rest of the inside of the house. You could clean the gutters." Shimmer listed what he was to do.
"These are pretty hard tasks." Kyouya said analyzing the list given to him.
"They're boy tasks. Don't you listen to your home economics teacher?" she asked lightly.
"No." he said reading the list all over again.
"I'll get started then." she said getting out of his room.
As she was watering the plants and planting new ones, Kyouya had a hard time raking all the leaves.
"Want me to take over?" Shimmer offered.
"You would do that?" Kyouya paused to ask.
"I do it every Friday or so." she answered grabbing the rake from his hands. "Why don't you clean the gutters now?"
"Alright then." he replied. "Where's the ladder?"
"In the garage. Get the longest one." she said.
"Thanks." he said.
As hours passed by these two, Shimmer got hungry.
"Would you like to eat chicken, or pork?" she asked Kyouya.
"Can you cook roasted chicken?" he asked.
"Of course." she replied gladly.
"Here you go" she came out of the kitchen holding a tray with a roasted chicken on a plate.
She grabbed a couple of silverware and handed it to him. "Well? Dig in." she said happily.
"This tastes really good." Kyouya said after taking a bite.
"You'd be surprised by the number of cook books in your mini-library." she said with a smile.
"So... When are you gonna pick up Keanna?" he asked.
"About after 5 minutes so she has time to play." she answered.
"You leave her time to play?" Kyouya questioned.
"Of course. I always leave her 10 minutes. And I wait 15 minutes for you before I text or call you to go home cos' you just love talking all day with your friends." Shimmer replied now taking another bite.
The rest of their meal was silent. After Shimmer washed the dishes, she told Kyouya that she would pick up Keanna now.
"Alright" was the reply of her masters' son.
As she set off, Kyouya called his mom and told her if she could sponsor Shimmer. His mom said it was okay as long as she was in the honors list every quarter. Kyouya had swear to her that she would do so.
As Shimmer called Keanna, Keanna couldn't wait. She was excited about telling her brother all her accomplishments for the day. She even told Shimmer her whole day as practice.
When they got home Keanna ran towards Kyouya and jumped, forcing Kyouya to carry her. She hugged him real tight. Shimmer of course could do nothing but giggle.
"I'll get you some food Keanna." Shimmer said walking to the kitchen door.
"Shimmer!" Keanna called out. "Can you bring it to my room? And can you help me with my homework?"
"Sure." Shimmer said walking out the door, and now, upstairs. "But for only 30 minutes. I still have to go to Madoka's okay?"
"Okie-dokie!" Keanna shouted like the happiest person (and loudest) in the world.
As Shimmer went downstairs, Keanna went up to change.
"You still have a lot to do. Like pick up a school uniform." Kyouya said.
"What?" Shimmer asked, oviously shocked.
"Mom said she would sponsor you, if you are in the honors list ever quarter." Kyouya said calmly.
"No way!" Shimmer couldn't help her excitement. "Would you mind helping Keanna then?"
"It's fine. I'll take care of her." Kyouya said.
"Great! Remember to help her mostly with her math, science, and history." Shimmer reminded.
"I'm not that good at all those subjects." Kyouya said, still numb as ever.
"It's barely high school leveled. You can do it. I better head to Madoka's." she said walking out the door. "Thank you!" she shouted.
After all that was handled, Kyouya helped her enroll. Leaving Keanna at Tsubasa's house
"The principal said you could go to school tomorrow." Kyouya said as he walked out of the office.
"So soon?" Shimmer asked.
"Well, she was impressed when you took your exam today." Kyouya responded.
"I can't believe I'm finally gonna get to go to school!" Shimmer said cheerfully.
"I better get to Tsubasa's. Keanna's probably bored or asleep by now." Kyouya said sternly.
"Oh I almost forgot." was all she could say because, what really flooded her mind was the fact that she will go to school.
The thoughts up her head are probably 'What hairstyle should I go with?' 'What should I say to the teachers and students' and most importantly 'What if they make fun of me?'
Kyouya's voice brought her back to Earth as he said "We better hurry, it's getting dark."
"Oh right. Let's go pick up Keanna then." she said looking at her pants now noticing it was Kyouya's first time seeing her out of uniform.
So they went to Tsubasa's. As soon as they got back Shimmer helped Keanna, coocked some food, took a bath, and slept.
She couldn't sleep that night as she thought of today and tomorrow.
Today was amazing. Now will tomorrow be just as great?
Me: Beautiful! Title of the chapter is "Alone at last". Remember that the quote is "You can fake a smile but you can't fake your feelings"
Kyouya: Lame if you ask me.
Me: I get it! You were a bit out of character!
Kyouya: A bit?
Me: Okay, a lot. SPOILER ALERT: Just let me tell you that Shimmer has a... dadadada... boyfriend!
Kyouya: Then why'd she bother with me?
Me: Cos their relationship is sinking. His name's Nathan BTW.
Shimmer: Don't be mean when you review! =) ;)
