Chapter 1

I sighed as I walked into my apartment; I dropped my box on the floor next to the shoe rack and went to my bed. I lay on my bed face down.

What can I do now? Without a job, I can't even pay next month's rent!

I sat up and looked out my window; Manhattan looks so beautiful at night. Tall apartments with rows and rows and yellow squares, and cinemas with big neon signs. I wonder how long I have left until I have to move out. Then I fell asleep.

----------------------------------------------------®-----------------------------------------------------

Next morning i started my job hunt, where else than the good old newspaper! as i flipped through the job page, i see nothing i like. before i know it, i started doddling on the edges of the newspaper. and believe me once i start the doddling, i don't stop until... well until someone stops me. and in this case, there's clearly no one else in the room other than me. so, Ha, i'll just draw until i'm dead.

i looked at my watch, oh is 2:00 pm already, Wow, time to eat lunch!

i dropped my pencil and headed out the door with my newspaper in hand. my apartment is not one of those fancy ones that cost a fortune, but it's nice enough for me to live in. i walked down the stairs and went out the door. the warm summer air hit my cheeks and let my amber hair dance in the wind.

Splash!

my dream moment ended when i got splashed with water.Yeah... it apparently rained last night, cause there was still water on the street.

My life just kept on getting worse...

Great! now i'm covered in dirty water from the street and i don't have a job. i wiped the water from my eyes and opened them. then i saw "the car" backing up, the car was a Sliver Mercedes, looks expensive. Then it stopped right in front of me. wait, the door is opening and someone is getting out. so i gathered all my power, ready to yeah at who ever sprayed my with water... MUAHAHA this is gonna be FUN!!!! okay now i'm just being plain evil.

first i see little strands of blonde hair, then a head of blonde hair, then i see the collar of a very expensive looking shirt, then...

...ohhhh, nice butt...wait a second! Mikan what are you thinking! he sprayed you with water!

the next thing i know, he's right in front of me staring at me with those eyes... they're sooooo blue like the Caribbean ocean.

"oh my god, i'm very sorry miss, i didn't see you standing there." he apologized.

and i just kept on staring...

"uhmmm.., miss are you alright?" he waved his hands in front of my eye.

" oh, i'm fine" slipping out of my fantasies.

"okay, are you sure though? you look quite wet."

"oh is nothing." wait Mikan what are you saying, you're wet for god sakes, and this is your favorite shirt!!!

"here take this." he said as he handed my a handkerchief .

i looked at the little piece of cloth, it felt like water against my fingers.

it's definitely silk! wait silk doesn't absorb water... does it??

"uh... is silk..." i said

" i know."

" silk and water... don't go together.." i try to explain to him in a nice way so he won't feel stupid.

" ohhhhh, ha stupid me" finally realizing the fact. "i'm sorry, that's the only thing i have. hey, why not you hop in and i'll get you all cleaned up"

"uh... no thank you." shaking my head.

" why not?"

"well what is you are a rapist or something, you never know."

he sweatdroped... "wow, how about this, you can hold my cell phone, " handing me his LG chocolate, " so if i "try" to rape you, you can call 911" he especially put an accent and bunny ears on the "try". oh yeah, HE'S HOT, actually more to the cute side than hot, but still he's cute/hot( i think he's rich too : P) so i wouldn't really mind getting raped by him. okay forget what i just said.

"fine then i guess" i replied while taking his chocolate out of his hand.

"okay let's go" he said excitedly

wait why is he soo excited, is he... is he... GAY???!!!

"why are you so excited?" i had to ask!

"hum, don't know, i guess is just that i haven't hung out with girls for a while now." he turned his face to me and smiled sweetly.

without control, i can feel my face heat up, i turned my face the other way and looked out the window to hide my blush.

control Mikan, control. he's just a guy! the wind from the outside kinda helped, when i feel my heat go down, i turned back to face him and asked, "why?"

"what do you mean why?"

" i mean with a face like yours, i bet girls will be flinging themselves at you."

"yeah, but that's like you know not what hanging out is about. i wanna have fun, not the kind of romantic "fun", but real fun" he joked.

i laughed, "wow, but i bet many other guys would prefer romantic "fun" more than real fun."

he laughed back, and we kept on talking. i don't know why, but i feel like i know him some how, i feel like i can be myself around him, and talk about anything. before we know it, we arrived at our destination. he turned off the engine and climbed out, i was about to get out, when he came and opened the door for me, like a real gentleman.

"Thank you..." that's when i realized we don't know each other's name yet. "what's you name? is it too late to ask?"

"it's never too late, as long as it's for you. my name is Nogi Ruka, nice to meet you?" he bowed at me

"am i that special to you? my name is Sakura Mikan, nice to met you too, Nogi-san" before i know it we started flirting with each other.

"okay let's get inside." and that's when i truly looked at the building, it looks nothing like a mall. i was expecting to go to a mall, since he said to get me cleaned up, but this building looks more like a hotel or a office to me. Wait a hotel!!!

"wait, nogi-san, where are we?" i asked suspiciously.

"oh, this is my friend's company, and also mine. we work for a fashion magazine. actually let me rephrase that, i work for him. he's the boss, and he owns a fashion magazine. so i figured we can get some stuff from here, i'm too lazy to go the Saks or Barneys, they have too much people."

Saks! Barneys! God, i'm i glad we didn't go there, or else i would have been broke the moment i get in there.

"oh, i see." i said, trying to sound normal.

"anymore questions?"

"nope"

"okay then, let's go inside."
