"Moon...tell her that I love her and that I need her..."

Chapter 2- Make my heart beat faster

Finally opening the door to her office, she closes the door behind her and turns toward her desk, only to find someone already sitting there, smirk placed upon his face, sapphire eyes gazing at her and silky blue hair shining.

"Long time no see...Amu..."

"I-Ikuto!" a surprised Amu yelled, her eyes not believing what they were seeing. After so many years of not seeing him, surprise was nothing to be baffled about and also...the pounding of her heart increased.

"Yoh," Ikuto responded, smirk placed upon his features and seemingly enjoying the shocked looked on Amu´s face.

Giving one more smirk, he stood up and advanced towards her, "What? Cat got your tongue?"

Blushing at his question, she walked past him and sat down on the chair behind her desk, trying to gain composure before answering him, "No, I´m just a bit shocked to see you. Its been years since I last saw you."

"True, and that´s DEFINETLY not the way to greet a friend who´s been gone for years Amu," Ikuto stated and gave her a sly grin.

"H-huh?" Amu stuttered

"You´re supposed to throw yourself at my arms, your breasts against my chest and then you take me to your apartment an-"

"S-s-shut up! You´re still as perverted as always!" Amu shouted, her face a million shades of magenta, now standing and her index finger pointing acussingly at him.

Leaning his head to his right slightly, he gave her one more smirk before looking her up and down. He was pleased with what he saw and it showed clearly on his features. He continued to stare at her, at her long legs, her hips, her small waist, her breasts and slowly up to her face again. His eyes settled on her lips for a bit, the soft glimmer that her lip gloss gave them captivated him.

"W-what are you staring at?" Amu questioned him as she saw him looking her up and down.

"I´m checking you out." He stated simply

"What?! You perverted bastard!"

"Your breasts look bigger. Mind if I touch them?"

And hell broke loose...

A few minutes later, an extremely flushed Amu sat on her chair again while an amused Ikuto looked at her from the other side of the desk, leaning slightly on his own chair.

"S-so..." Amu stuttered, her face slowly coming back to her normal color.

"So?" Ikuto raised an eyebrow at her, still watching her with amusement graced across his handsome face.

"When did you get back?"

"A few hours ago...I´m surprised you didn´t feel my extremely handsome presence come back to Japan," he smirked.

"Ego much?" Amu asked, a slightly teasing smiled appearing on her face.

"No, just stating the truth,"

"You cocky bastard!"

"And America´s and Japan´s #1 bachelor," He added, only adding to his cockiness.

"You´re impossible," Amu sighed. 'Since when did he get so cocky?' She thought over and over again.

"Its to avoid fangirls," Ikuto said as if reading her mind.

"Come again?"

"I said I play cocky to avoid all of my fangirls. Have you got any idea how many women throw themselves at me everyday? Its annoying," He said in an indifferent tone, a bored look on his face.

Amu, for the first time since she´d seen him after so many years, finally took her chance and eyed him. His face looked slightly more mature than before. His sapphire eyes were still pretty much the same, that playful shine still present. His eyelashes still as long as before, his eyebrows...the way they rose up...it was sexy. Amu blushed at the thought but her gaze kept studying him. Her eyes lowered slighly to his mouth, his lips looked so soft and lucious as if inviting her to kiss them. Lower and she saw his broad chest, his arms looked strong and so comfortable.

'Stop it Amu, you´re drooling like some fangirl here. Get a hold of yourself, this is Ikuto we´re talking about. Your friend, your comrade...y-your...your first love...'

It was true, they had been friends for so long...so long. She had always held a special place in her heart for him but she never realized when it had turned into love. But who could blame her? She was still a teenager back then, she didn´t know much about love. She only realized she loved him when he kissed her for the first time but he was gone after that. Her newly discovered feelings were unknown to him. For years she had tried to forget him and moved on to dating guys. And now...now after so many years he was back again. Taller than before, more mature, more handsome, more...more...She couldn´t find ways to describe him.

Suddenly Ikuto snapped her out of her thoughts, "...pick you up at 7."

"Huh? Sorry, what was that again?"

Ikuto looked at her weirdly before repeating himself, "I said: Let´s have dinner together tonight, I´ll pick you up at 7."

"Uh, uh..." Amu said nervously, looking around her office trying to avoid eye contact with him.

"Ja then," Ikuto said as he stood up and walked towards the office door. Before leaving, he turned his head back to her direction and gave her one more smirk. Opening the door, he stepped outside and closed it behind him.

"Amu!" the pink head heard someone yell before three people burst into her office, sketch pads in their hands.

"What is it?" she asked them, rubbing her temple tiredly as she turned to gaze at the clock on her office wall, 6:30 pm it read.

"Which one of these designs do you think is better?!" A young brunette questioned her before practically shoving them in front of her face.

"Ana! What is this all about? You all just suddenly come bursting into my office and ask me about designs," Amu asked the brunette.

"Richard here," she said pointing towards a blonde guy beside her with ocean blue eyes and a charming smile, "says that his designs are the bomb but I say mine are better. So then comes the amateur Jasmine and says that her designs kick ass. So I came up with the brilliant idea to come and let you decide."

"Hey! I am not an amateur!" a red-head by the name of Jasmine protested, her green eyes glaring daggers at Ana.

"Guys...stop it. I´m already stressed enough as it is without you barging into my office and bothering me with your childish arguments. All of your designs are amazing so just drop it." Amu said before sighing and turning to gaze at the clock again. 6:40 pm...

"What´s with you gazing at the clock eh? Got a hot date or something?" Richard asked, his ocean blue eyes awaiting her reaction.

Amu blushed the second those words left Richard´s lips.

"Aha! Is it with that sexy hunk that was here earlier in the day? He´s so sexy and so talented. I love him so much, the way he plays his violin...bla bla bla..." Amu ignored Ana as she kept on babbling and babbling.

"Amu, is it with him?" Jasmine shyly asked her.

"I-its not really a date. We´re just having dinner to catch up on old times. We were friends since long ago..." Amu tried to explain, the blush on her face increasing.

"No, no, no girl! You must make him your boyfriend," Richard stated, before running out of her office and coming back a minute later with a make-up set in his hands.

Soon in between all of Amu´s yells of protest and Richard´s hands working their magic with make-up, she was ready just in time. 7:00 pm...

Half an hour later, Amu found herself having dinner with Ikuto in a fancy restaurant, conversation flowing between them just like old times.

"Where´s Utau?" Amu asked before bringing the fork full of beef to her mouth.

"She´s back here too," He responded taking a sip of his wine.

"She still got that brother complex from years ago?" Amu smirked at him, a slight tint of teasing in her tone of voice.

"Fortunately no, but she´s not dating anyone at the moment right now," He responded as he took a forkful of his own beef steak.

"And you? Are you dating anyone?" Amu asked almost shyly as she pretended not to care as she was taking a sip of her own drink.

"I dated back in America but right now I´m not dating anyone," He said, a knowing smirk plastered on his face, "Why you ask? Want to date me or something?"

Amu almost choked on her wine upon hearing Ikuto´s teasing word.

"B-baka! I was just asking!" She said as her face turned completely red from embarrassment.

"Hmm," was all Ikuto said before turning back to his food but with a glint in his sapphire eyes.

The rest of the dinner went by smoothly as Amu and Ikuto just talked about their careers and made light jokes...just like old times.

Amu stepped on the foot steps of her door, searching in her bag for her keys, Ikuto stading behind her.

"Damn it! I can´t find them!" Amu yelled in frustration.

"You´ll have to sleep on your door steps then," Ikuto said smirking at her.

"Shut up!" Amu yelled furiously and continued searching inside her bag.

After a few more minutes, Amu yelled in delight, "Yes! Found them!"

"Amu..." Ikuto said behind her said as she turned around to look at him.

"What is it Iku-"

Amu did not finish her sentence as Ikuto pressed his lips passionately against hers and kissed her. His hands found their way around her waist and brought her closer to him. She just stood there, her eyes wide open in shock as he continued to kiss her. Just as she was slowing closing her eyes, he pulled away from her.

"Ja ne, see you tomorrow," and he walked off back to his car, leaving her in front of her door, shock on her face, mouth slighly open, a blush on her cheeks and most important of all...her heart beating faster than ever...
