Chapter 2
It's Just the Beginning for Him(His Sweet Revenge)
The nerve of that guy! Thanks to him I'll be facing his ranting—
"Oi. You're late." there he is.
"Yeah, I know." I take my seat across him. "Just some stupid school task."
"You should have called if you're going to be late. It's not good to keep someone waiting not knowing what happened to you. You may have been kidnapped. Or worse got killed. Can't you–-"
"Your menu!" the lady handed. Thank goodness the waitress butts in. She smiles at me and I smile back at her. "Thanks." I muttered thankfully. She glances at the guy in front of me and blushes.
"Can I take your order Sir Andou?" she asks shyly at my companion. She's blushing. Who wouldn't? You're facing the most handsome man living in the earth.. or should I say in showbiz industry.
"Two lasagna please." He says not bothering to look at the waitress. "How about the drinks?" he asks me.
"Just two ice tea please." I say to the lady. She then walks away to get our order.
"Mikan, you're an hour late and you know that I've got appointments. What if I'm not already here and you might get into trouble or someone might harass you. I can't imagine myself doing nothing while you're being—"
"But I'm not." I grip his hand and look intently at him. "I'm alive and kicking. You're thinking too much, you know." I laughed at him.
He sighs. He, too, grips my hand and squeezes it. Sigh again. "I'm just worried." He must be really concern about me. I can see through his eyes his worries.
"Just please don't…don't ever do this again. Okey." He says pleadingly and then sighs. He let go of my hand just as the waitress comes holding the tray of our order.
We are munching our food silently. I know he's still angry but I can do nothing about it.
"Look Mikan, I'm not angry at you ok. I'm just too worried. Arggh! Just don't be bothered about it." He smiles at me brightly.
"Thank you. Ahmmm. I guess you have to go. You said you still have appointments." He then looks at his watch and sighs.
"Guess I have to go. I'll ride you home first before I'll go to my work." He says and offers his hand for me to stand up.
We drive home silently. His holding my hand while the other hand is busy driving. I am still irritated with that bear-printed-boxers guy. If not for him, I should have met Tsubasa at the said time. If not for him, Tsubasa will not be like this. I know this will affect his work today. He's a model and at the same time, a famous actor. Everytime he's tired, he usually calls me up to meet with him. Of course, I'm not failing him. This is the only thing I can do for him. He said that I'm his energy booster. Everytime he sees my smile, he's full charged. That's according to him. I don't know why. But I did not bother to ask him about it.
"Mikan, we're here!" he announced.
"Oh! Thanks for riding me home." I kiss him at the cheek before getting out of the car. He waits for me to get inside the house before dashing off. I wave at him and get inside the house then lock my door. I dash to my bed and lay myself at the center.
What a nice day today! Sarcastically, of course!
I'm in trouble, I'm an addict
I'm addicted to this girl
She's got my heart tied in a knot
And my stomach in a whirl –
Who might be calling at this wee hour? I look at the clock. 9pm.
"Hello? Sakura speaking, who's this?" I say tiredly. I wanted to get a sleep.
"Oi. Don't who's this who's this me." Oh my gosh. It's the jerk. Where the hell did he get my number?
"Oh. It's the bear-printed-boxer boy. What do you want?"
"Nothing. Just making sure that you can't sleep tonight and to make sure you forget what happened this afternoon." He says boredly.
"How can I forget it? You gotta be kidding!" I laugh at him. He's asking me to forget what I saw. That's too impossible. How could I?
"Just don't tell anyone about it."
"And what if I will…?" I tease him.
"Or you'll get what you throw…"
"What?" what does he mean? Is he kidding? I didn't throw anything.
"Idiot." And with that, he hangs up. What a disturbance!
I'll make sure I have a good sleep tonight! I will have a good sleep tonight..
I will…
I will have a good sleep…
Zzzzzz…
I am restless, and I keep trembling
Everyone watch me as I descend
Into a feeling that's overwhelming me
I finally stopped—
Stupid alarm clock. Stupid. Stupid.. morning! Oh crap! It's already morning. Stupid Hyuuga! Stupid him. Curse him!
I'm in trouble, I'm an addict
I'maddicted to this girl
She's got my heart tied in a knot
And my stomach in a whirl
But even worse I can't stop calling her
I love to hear her voice –
"Hello!" I answer boredly. I purposely delayed answering the call.
"Hello Sweetheart. Did you have a good sleep?"
Is he teasing me? Damn him. He still got the nerve to call me at this morning after what he did last night. Wait. Did he do something last night?
"Curse you, Hyuuga." I mockingly say to him. Sweetheart? How disgusting. It makes me wanna puke.
"Is that how you talk to your boyfriend?"
"BOYFRIEND? What the hell are you talking about, Hyuuga. When and how did you become my boyfriend?" she said in total rage.
"Get ready already. You'll be late." With that, he hangs up. He hangs me up for the second time.
God. I'll be late. Better be ready for school than to be bothered by what he said. I know he's just pestering me. Or so I hope.
Curse him.
