A VACATION TO REMEMBER
Chapter one
It was a hot, sunny and boring summer for Natsume because he doesn't have enough time to go out with his long time girlfriend, Mikan. Their friends thought of them as the Most Hilarious Couple of All Times, for the reason that their perspectives never meet. Because of company works, Natsume rarely goes out with Mikan. So he decided to go on with the plan he and his friends agreed on.
Flashback
"Hey Natsume, are you and Mikan still not going out for a formal date?" asked a blond hair, innocent boy, named Ruka.
"I'm trying to escape from my schedule, but my secretary…" he said as he drink a shot of wine but was cut off by a dark blue haired boy with a star mark below his right eye, named Tsubasa.
"Oh… that Narumi." Tsubasa said with a playful smirk on his face.
"That KJ one…" a sandy brown haired boy named Koko commented.
"Tch."
"Hey, dude! What do you really want from us? Don't tell me that you just called us earlier without any valid reason? I almost got killed by Nonoko." Yuu asked impatiently.
"Duh. He just wanted us to give him some suggestions on how to have some valuable time with Mikan, just the two of them." Ruka answered.
The guys thought for almost 15 minutes when Kitsu stood up and suggested. "What about a vacation?" Natsume and the others thought for a while.
"That's good!" said Ruka.
"So what vacation? When? Where?" a raven haired lad asked.
"A vacation at Hawaii on summer, they said that Hawaii is a good place for summer vacation." Kitsu said.
"Yeah! I also heard about it." Tsubasa agreed.
Yuu muttered something while Koko said sadly, "I planned to bring Sumire there but failed to. I'm really busy with my company works these days."
"Then it's decided. I'll bring Mikan in Hawaii this summer." Natsume said with a smirk.
This is going to be fun.
End of Flashback
…At Mikan's Mansion…
Mikan Sakura was sleeping silently when the phone rang.
"Oh! What the heck is this phone ringing for?" the brunette girl exclaimed as she got up to pick the phone.
"Hello?" a familiar voice said. As the brunette realized whose that voice was she then answered.
"Oh, you're alive, my dear!"
"And just when did I die?"
"Half a year ago?" She joked and giggled.
Natsume heard her giggle and said, "Shut up."
"So what makes you call your dearest girlfriend?" she said as she tried to make her tone serious.
"Come to my office 'cause we're going to discuss about something."
"And when did I become your employee?"
"Don't you miss me?"
"Do I have to?"
"Mikan, come to my office… NOW!" he said in a serious tone. "It's also your fault for waking up late and making me wait on the phone for 15 seconds."
"Okay. I'll go later…"
"I said NOW!"
"NOW?"
"Did I say tomorrow?"
"Okay, now… Later!"
"Ughh…"
"Love you, jerk, BYE!"
Mikan's POV
"It's quite odd. It's almost a month since we talked to each other personally and not just in the phone." I sighed and then continued. "But I know deep inside me I'm happy that he called me. Is he gonna break up with me? Oh Lord… What have I done wrong? My attitude? No. It can't be! My attitude did not change but what if, he already finds another girl? Perhaps his new secretary but I didn't hear him he has a new secretary. What am I gonna do? Ask for forgiveness… I didn't do anything wrong. But I won't know if I won't come." I said as I started to prepare. I was nervous and when I am about to finish my makeup, I heard a knock.
Knock! Knock!
"Yo!" a raven haired girl greeted as I opened the door.
"What's up Hotaru?" I said with excitement.
"You're asking me?" she answered with a question mark on her face.
"Who else?"
"I thought Natsume's here because I can hear you, murmuring some 'blah blah blah' words before you opened the door." Hotaru answered.
"I'm alone." I said, justifying myself
"Okay, idiot."
"Then, what brings you here?"
"I'm just kinda left out because Ruka's out for a meeting." "Your dressed up, where are you going?"
"It's just, Natsume called and told me to come to his office." I said.
"Oh… that jerk."
"Excuse me?" I asked for clarification. "HE is my boyfriend and your calling him a JERK?" I told her with an angry face.
"WOW! That was an unexpected reaction of yours." She said in a surprising voice. "And just when did you start to defending him? You're even calling him JERK, yourself. And now you're telling me 'Excuse me' because I called him jerk! " she exclaimed.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what to do, if we meet again, I mean… it's almost a month since we talked personally. I don't know what to say in front of him; I don't know how to act and how to face him." I said, worrying.
"Mikan, calm down. It'll be alright." She said as she patted my back.
I sit on the chair in front of the mirror and I continued my makeup. Hotaru just sits on the couch and watched TV. I stood up and went beside Hotaru, together we watched our favorite channel (DISNEY Channel) when we were still young. I remembered those moments I'm with Hotaru. I smiled as I recalled those memories. I'll always keep them, in my mind and in my heart.
Kring! Kring!
My phone rings. As I pick it up, I saw the messenger's name, it feels like my heart's gonna burst out because of my heartbeat. It's from Natsume. I can't even open and read the message. Then, Hotaru grabbed the phone from my hand, opened it without reading. She placed the phone in front of my face for me to read the message. It said…
"hey, polka, where are you? I'm sending a car to your house. Don't go anywhere, just wait for the car outside if you're finished already. TAKE CARE on your way. Love you!"
"Gotta go" I said as I get my shoulder bag.
Hotaru just shrugged and said, "Need a company?"
"No, thanks. I'll go by myself. I'll take it whatever it is." "Wish me luck!" I said confidently.
We went outside of my house. No surprise… the car's waiting. Hotaru didn't bother to join me in the car because she said Ruka and she will meet up in the mall right after Ruka's meeting. We bid goodbyes and went on our own ways. Hope everything's gonna be alright.

NORMAL POV
Natsume is in his office, practicing how to talk to Mikan.
"Mikan dear, I missed you so much, come with me in Hawaii." He said to himself. "Mikan, come with me in Hawaii," as he knelt down facing Mikan's picture on his table, assuming he's holding her hand.
"How lame," he said as he get up and started fixing himself, like combing his hair while whistling.
"Sir Natsume," a voice said as the door opens.
"What do you want, Narumi? Have you canceled my meetings today?" Natsume asked as he hide the comb his using and regained formalness.
"Yes, sir! All of your meetings are canceled and by the way, a woman's looking for you." Narumi answered.
"Let her come here and leave." Natsume commanded as he sat down in his chair and turn around facing the window. When the door opens…
"Your late, polka," Natsume said in a cool voice, as he turns around.
"W-O-W" he said softly as he saw his girlfriend in a knee-length pink tube dress with some glitters on it. Simple makeup was put on upon her angelic face. She wasn't using her usual pigtails, instead she had her hair in a ponytail. She just wears a purple doll shoes. She was simple yet very elegant.
He was stunned by her beauty, ALWAYS. Well as he looked at himself, he's just on his usual office uniform. Mikan faked a cough and Natsume was snapped back into reality. Mikan hugged him.
"Ahhh…so what's my business here then?" Mikan asked as soon as she broke the hug.
"Ahhh…yeah…uhmm…ahhh…"
"What?"
"I just wanna ask you to…" Natsume said nervously as he breathe in some air."Come with me in Hawaii, please."
"And why would I?"
"Because I want you to be with me this summer."
"Is that all?"
"Yup."
"I won't"
"What? Why?"
"Who knows, what you will do to me in Hawaii…"
"Is that all your reason?" Natsume asked, raising one eyebrow at
Mikan didn't answer instead, she just looked away. After a couple of minutes, Mikan broke the silence.
"It won't be enjoyable if there's only the two of us. It'll be boring. I would come if my friends will also be there," Mikan said.
"It's supposed to be just the two us!" Natsume insisted. "If you love me, you'll trust me." He continued.
"If you love me, you'll understand me." Mikan said as she came closer to Natsume, putting her hand on Natsume's cheek.
Natsume hold Mikan's hands and put it down, saying "I loss." Mikan smiled but soon was gone. She noticed Natsume's eyes was hidden by his messy bangs and making his weird look. He then sit back to his chair, turning around, facing the window, again.
"Natsume…" Mikan said, as she looked at Natsume, feeling something weird in her heart.
"Just call me back when you're able to settle your plans and when you're ready to leave." He said in a weird, cold voice.
"Goodbye." She said as she close the door.
