Hi there everyone. Here's chapter two! Have fun reading!

We should love,

Not fall in love

Because everything that falls, gets broken.

-Taylor Swift

But in my case, I'm not afraid to fall especially when I know someone's there to catch me. My only problem, what if I fall too long? Will he still be there waiting for me to land in his arms? Or will he turn his back on me and let me fall while shattering myself to pieces in the process?

Chapter Two

"Misakiiiii!" Before I could even greet my friend, here she is, attacking me with her common bear hug. "I'm so glad you made it, Misaki. And there I thought you would dump me with our plans," she stated while showing me that puppy face.

"You know I'll never do that, right," I assured her at the same time patting her head.

-Though I was thinking of that a while ago, I continued in my mind.

And there, she beamed me the smile I always loved seeing. Don't mistake me. I'm not a lesbian or whatever. I just happen to like seeing girls happy because for some reason, their happiness also gives me the strength to smile knowing they're not suffering the situation I have gone through. When I was still 12, my father left us- me, my mom and little sister, Suzuna, with a debt and nothing but ourselves to keep us alive. That's when I started hating boys and grew fonder with girls while telling myself it'll all be alright. Since that incident, I started working part-time wherein High School, I came up with a café where they pay higher than usual. And the owner as well as my co-workers was great. Up until College I worked at Maid-Latte, serving my Masters while wearing a maid outfit. With its above average income and with my scholarships, I managed to graduate Business Management, find a decent job and was able to support my family. 'Till now, I visit Maid-Latte though not too often because of how busy I am at work.

Wait, that thought made me think about the thought of dropping by at Maid-Latte maybe tomorrow.

"So are you ready, Misaki?" Sakura questioned, dragging me back to reality.

"Oh. Uhmm…sure."

"Hmmm…seems like you're not acting the way you said it," she voiced out and pouted.

Good thing you know I'm not a bit excited about this.

"Anyway, we're here now. We might as well enjoy ourselves. Right, Misaki?" The pout was immediately replaced by a huge grin.

"Yeah. Right."

I sure hope time runs faster. I want to get over with this already.

"So let's go!" Sakura cheered before grabbing hold of my wrist, leading us towards the entrance.

…

We were cueing with not one of us uttering a single word. I was busy looking around while Sakura was somehow in her own world, grinning like an idiot. This surely is making me uncomfortable so I decided to break off the silence.

"So Sakura, where's your ticket?"

She immediately broke off form her trance and looked at me.

"Oh, thanks for reminding me. It's somewhere here in my bag," she answered at the same time rummaging through her bag in search for her ticket. After a while of digging, she somehow started to panic.

"Woah. Calm down."

"Misaki, I can't seem to find it," she stated still searching for the ticket. She looked through every pocket of her bag and pants, her wallet and even through a book hoping it was inserted in there. I just watched her with a hint of worry on my face. When she can't seem to find it anywhere, she left the line and sat on the ground while dumping all the things from her bag. I still watched as she scanned through each item carefully. After a short while, due to my concern, I too, got out from the line and sat beside her. Feeling me near her, she looked at me saying," Misaki! Why did you get out from the line?"

"Sorry, Sakura but I can't just watch you being all frantic like that."

"You were supposed to wait for me."

"Nevermind, we can still fall back in line once you find your ticket."

"That's the problem. I still can't seem to find it."

"What?"

"I'm sure I brought it with me," she muttered depressingly while again checking her bag. I put my hands on her shoulder to assure her that it's there. I gave her a few minute to look again but still, it seems nowhere to be found.

"Don't tell me you left it behind."

"No. I'm sure I…wait…"

"Oh, that doesn't sound good."

"After lunch, I prepared myself for this concert. I took a bath. After that, I started to look for the right clothes to wear at the same time preparing all the things to bring placing everything in my bag except the ticket which was still in my drawer. I remember putting the ticket on top of the dresser before I started changing. Then after deciding on what clothes to wear, I realized it was almost time so I grabbed my bag and dashed out of the house and…OH MY GOSH, MISAKI I LEFT THE TICKET ON THE DRESSER!"

"You what?!"

"I left it at home. How am I supposed to attend the concert now?" she stated feeling all miserable.

"How badly do you want to attend that concert?" I asked somehow thinking of a way for both of us.

"It meant my whole life. This could be my chance to get Kuuga-kun's attention."

Fat chance that would happen.

"How about this, I'll lend you my ticket instead."

"But what about you, Misaki?"

I'll be happy to not attend the concert just so you know.

"I'll be fine. I'm not their fan anyway. I'm just here to accompany you," I said while giving her a smile.

Finally, I can taste freedom! Please get caught with my plan. Please.

"Are you sure about this, Misaki? I mean, I'm fine if I can't-"

"No. No. No. I'm sure I'm fine with it. Just trust me." I butted in on her sentence. Who knows maybe she'll disapprove of the idea. I don't want to be stuck in the concert all alone for goodness' sake.

"Really?" she asked reassuringly one more time with hope in her eyes.

"Yeah."

So, I gave her my ticket and she immediately gave me a quick hug before she dashed off to God knows where and here I am, left alone on the sidewalk. On the bright side, I got my liberty.

So where to now, Misaki?

Hmmm…I could visit Maid-Latte though that would mean walking almost a mile in these Mary Janes. Ughh, if only Suzuna hadn't picked out my attire for me. I guess I'm heading home then.

*Flashback*

"Onee-chan, where are you heading?" Suzuna asked as I was walking out our front door. I stopped mid-track and turned to her.

"I'm accompanying Sakura in a concert. Why?"

"In those clothes?"

"Uhmm, yeah. What's wrong with my outfit?" I questioned while scanning myself. I was wearing a white shirt with a wacky cartoon design, skinny jeans, a comfortable navy blue jacket and my Converse shoes.

"Nothing. Come with me," she said showing no emotions before dragging me back up the stairs and into her room. I didn't even get the chance to complain. And so after a short while of playing dress-up with little sister, Suzuna, I was left wearing a button-up sky blue shirt, black frilly mini-skirt that reaches just above my knee, black polka-dotted jacket and also a black pair of two-inch-heeled Mary Jane. She also lent me her black sling bag.

Suzuna, proud of her work gave me a weak smile before commenting that I looked cute and saying some stuffs about me being presentable in order to find some guy and then get married bla bla bla.

Suzuna and her crazy thoughts…

*End of Flashback*

Gosh. These things are killing me, I thought while massaging my left foot. Have Suzuna ever thought I was going to a concert and not a date? I can't even imagine myself inside the concert hall, full of people, wearing these shoes. Good thing Sakura left her ticket.

Grrrrr…

Great. Just great. I'm hungry.

Well I should just find some place where I can fill my growling tummy.

. . . . .

I was walking by the streets of Tokyo when my eyes caught glimpse of a café displaying different varieties of cakes and pastries.

Well don't mind if I do. I thought and entered the said café. Right after walking through the doors, I could immediately smell the taste of all the sweets almost making my mouth water. I better order then. I walked straight to the counter and ordered a Blueberry Cheesecake and iced coffee before occupying the seat near the glass wall to get a better view of the outside. After a few minutes, my order came and oh, I could taste heaven already. I grabbed my fork and cut a small piece of the take before plunging it into my mouth, closing my eyes in delight.

Mmmm…feels like walking on cloud nine.

I chewed slowly making sure to savor all the goodness of the cake when…

"There you are babe, I've been looking all over for you," someone suddenly stated while snaking an arm around my waist.

"What the?!" I almost choked at the contact. I turned to my right and what met me was a pair of green eyes almost the color of emerald or was it jade. I stared wide-eyed for what seems like a lifetime before realizing my situation. I separated of my daze and studied the features of the creature in front of me. Like I said, he had green eyes along with a brownish blonde hair. He was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt which he rolled up to his elbows. I got to admit, he was somehow hot.

Oh screw that thought, Misaki! I mentally slapped myself.

"If you continue staring like that, you might come up with the word perfect," he said with a smirk on his lips.

The nerve of this guy! Who the hell does he think he is?! He comes approaching me in a surprising manner and then embarrass me for staring at him. Like I was just sinking in to what's happening for Pete's sake!

Due to my internal outburst, I slapped away his hands encircling my waist shouting, "What the hell is your problem?!"

Done! Wow, I had trouble with this chapter. Hope you enjoyed it! Stay tuned for chapter three. I'm currently working on it right now. Oh for those who are wondering why this chapter is entitled 'Cakes and Care' –'cakes' because of the scene which is in the café where Misaki was eating cake and because I'm hungry as of now and 'care' because if you look it up in the Thesaurus, care can also mean trouble, dilemma, worry, etc. And yeah, I consulted the Thesaurus in order to provide a title for this chapter.
