Writing a Dream

Chapter 2

Branded a Stalker

Shizuru POV

After talking with Yohko in her office Shizuru walked out with a piece of paper in her hand and had on, like always, a polite smile. However on the inside she was jumping for joy.

I can't believe it! I'm going to get to meet with Duran Wolfs! Not only that, I might, no will, get to work with him! This is the luckiest day ever! First I get a copy of Wolfs' new novel, Tragic Maiden, and then I get to meet the author!

As she thought this, Shizuru was on her way to meet Duran Wolfs at the address she was given but sudden felt an urge to drink tea, green tea to be exact, so she took a detour and stopped at a café called the Flammes brûlantes only to be greeted by a… well to others a frightening sight but to Shizuru a quite amusing one. The instant she entered anywhere she would be welcomed by either many adoring fans, people who respected her, or at least a warm salutation but for the first time in her life she was met with a… glare?! Yes, a glare, a glare that was so cold and frozen it would at least make a murder shiver or even freeze the desert El Azizia in Libya that is known to be the hottest place on the earth's surface that sometimes even reaches 150 degrees Fahrenheit! Even so Shizuru stood her ground; she was going to get her tea no matter what!

The glare was covered up with words that had the exact opposite meaning. "Welcome, table for one?" A rough but even and unemotional voice questioned, not bothering to hide her displeasure do what she was.



Shizuru nodded and the raven hair girl motioned for her to follow. Ara? How rude! But… I'll let it pass for today! Nothing can make today bad! Because following this I would get to met Duran Wolfs!

The raven hair girl stopped at a table and waited for Shizuru to sit down with a scorn for some reason unknown to Shizuru but yet again Shizuru let it slid. The instant Shizuru sat down, not a second later, the raven hair girl asked for her order.

"What do ya want?!"

Shizuru pause for a second thinking whether she wanted anything else other than tea but even if it was only for a second it annoyed the raven hair girl to no ends.

"So?! What do ya want?! I don't have all day!"

"Ara, let me have a cup of green tea please." Shizuru answered even if she was offended by the rudeness she did not let her mask slip even a bit and had on a polite smile.

"Anything else?!"

"No thank you."

The raven hair girl took that as her cue and stomped away into the kitchen to get Shizuru's order. Ara… what a rude girl! But… no matter…. Today is a good day!

Awhile later the raven hair girl returned with a pot of tea and a cup. She dropped the cup on the table and started to pour the tea but as Shizuru could see the raven hair girl was impatient because the opening on the tea pot was small and it took forever to fill up Shizuru's cup. When half the cup was full it was the raven hair girl's limit, she started shake the pot violently in order for the tea to come out faster but it had a rather different effect. When she shook the tea pot it splashed all over and got everywhere, including Shizuru's face. The raven hair girl, seeing what she had done, panicked. Her eyes were widen 

and Shizuru swore she saw the girl flinch when the raven hair girl turned around to see if anyone saw what she did. But after that something unexpected happened, after she turned back to Shizuru she had on a charming smile and her emerald green eyes were soft and comforting. Her smile, still charming, turned into an apologetic smile and she reached into her pocket and took out a handkerchief. What happened next surprised Shizuru the most, she use the handkerchief and wiped off the tea in Shizuru's face.

"I'm sorry, are you alright?" Her voice from rough and unemotional turned to husky and attractive.

Shizuru was taken aback by that. She didn't expect it at all and did something most people never saw her do before, she blushed.

"Y… yes, I'm fine thank you."

"That's good. What matters is your safety." The raven hair girl said while she looked into Shizuru's crimson red eye then turned her attention to the tea cup and pot. "Let me get you another cup of tea."

Shizuru still stunned by what happened just nodded. The raven hair girl left to get another cup of tea and when she was out of sight Shizuru let out a breathe she didn't even know she was holding. Ara… What was that? At first she was all rude and barbaric but now…

When the raven hair girl returned she somehow managed to pour a cup of tea with such grace that even rivaled Shizuru and at the same time look seductive as well. After that Shizuru left thinking about meeting Duran Wolfs but the raven hair girl was still on her mind.

Natsuki POV

It was early in the morning and Natsuki was dreaming about mayonnaise and bikes when a ringing sound dared to wake her up from her dreams. She picked up the phone.



"Yeah what do you want?! If it's not important then prepare to DIE!"

"HI Natsuki! It's Mai!" Said the caller.

Natsuki growled. It just had to be her didn't it? It was Mai, her best friend. "What is it Mai?!"

"I need a favor. Today can you come and help out at the café?"

"No." Came the flat-out rejection.

"Natsuki. Be there at nine ok?" Mai said in a tone that meant no argument unless Natsuki wanted to take a chance.

"Fine!" Natsuki replied and got up to change, still unhappy about waking up so early just to help Mai out with something. Ahrr… Stupid Mai and her stupid café! Why me even?! Can't a girl sleep for a bit even?! Sigh but it I don't help her she's gonna start nagging about THAT again….sigh

Natsuki rode her bike to the café and found Mai inside. Mai told her to serve the customers and left her with a warning that if the customer get hurt and complains about it then Mai would put THAT up again. So Natsuki went through and sever a million customers and just when her shift for Mai was almost done a girl with chestnut hair walked in. WTF!? Damn you! Can't you came in ten minutes later?!

"Welcome, table for one?" Natsuki said, not before sending an infamous Kuga Death Glare at the girl but surprisingly it had no visible effect. Natsuki led the girl, after she nodded, to a table.

"What do ya want?!" Natsuki questioned but the girl looked like she was thinking and it made Natsuki angry. AH! What is wrong with her?! Can't she order faster?!

"So?! What do ya want?! I don't have all day!"

"Ara, let me have a cup of green tea please." The girl replied.



"Anything else?!"

"No, thank you."

As soon as she heard that she left to get the order hoping that she'd be able to leave after this. When Mai finished making the tea Natsuki hurried and got to the girl's table. She threw the cup down and started to pour the tea but it took awhile because the opening on the teapot was too small. AHHH!! Stupid pot can't you pour anymore?! Natsuki began to violently shake the poor teapot but accidently some of it got on the girl. Natsuki froze when she saw this and turned to see if Mai was looking, she was. She turned back to the girl and took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea off the girl. Oh shit! Mai's gonna kill me! What now? What should I do now?! Oh! I know! Like last time something like this happened!

"I'm sorry, are you alright?" Natsuki said trying to make her voice as nice as possible and smiled.

"Y… yes, I'm fine thank you."

"That's good. What matters is your safety." Natsuki thought about what she should do next and saw the teapot. "Let me get you another cup of tea."

The girl nodded and Natsuki went and came back with the tea. After that Natsuki kept the nice act up until the girl left and rushed to the locker rooms and changed into her normal clothes and was heading to her bike to get home but was stopped by Mai.

"What now, Mai? No one complained did they?"
"No, they didn't and I think I know why."

Natsuki swallowed. "Why?"



Mai's voice rose. "Because, Natsuki when you messed up you resorted to flirting with me or charming them over so they'd forget!"

"No I didn't!" Natsuki argued.

Mai sighed. "Fine whatever you say but you know you're going to regret this soon."

"Yeah, yeah." Natsuki said and jumped on her bike and headed back to her apartment. When she got home she fell on her bed and started drifting off but that was interrupted by knocking sound. Who is it now?!

She got up and opened the door but closed it as soon as she saw who it was. The knocking continues. Natsuki opened the door once again and the same thing happened she slammed the shut.

Shizuru POV

After what happed at the café she now thought the day couldn't get any better and made a mental note to visit the café again. She kept walking and walking and finally she was at her destination, the apartment of THE Duran Wolfs. She knocked and waited but as soon as the door opened before she could say anything the door closed. She knocked again but the same thing happened and she didn't even know why.

What's wrong? Did I go to the wrong place? Isn't this Duran Wolfs' apartment? Did he just slam the door in my face? Sigh I don't know I couldn't even see who that was!

She continue knocking and the third time the door opened it didn't open wide like last time but just a little bit, just enough to see her but she, before the door could close again stuck her foot inside so the person couldn't close the door again and pushed the door open. Astonishingly she overpowered the person and the door opened.



Ara… it's her….

Then once again before she could say or do anything the girl screamed.

"STALKER!"

Surprised at what the girl said she moved her foot that was at the door way but the girl inside took the chance and pushed her outside and slammed the door in her face. She then just stood there replaying what had happened inside her mind. The word that no one ever, never, called her before rang in her mind.

STALKER!

STALKER!
STALKER!
