Hey! So I'm having boy troubles and decided to make a chapter involving Mai and boy troubles! Yay ^.^ -Zay
Mai's POV.
I stumble back until I hit a firm chest. I turn around with tears already streaking my cheeks and look up at the boy. He was handsome, long black hair styled into a fringe and pretty brown eyes.
He looked at me softly. "It's ok.. It never stays long." He smiles at me and I gently smile back, still crying.
He nods behind me and I turn to see the wall previously covered in bloody hand prints and weird English sentences that I couldn't make out. "Hey its alright you can stop crying." I pull him into an embrace and cry..
"Mai I pay you to do your job. Not to cry." I hear Naru growl at me after a few seconds of silence. " don't talk to her like that! She just saw a blood covered wall. She deserves some sympathy and respect."
I felt someone pull me away from him and I look up into his indigo eyes. They are cold but soften as soon as he sees that I'm crying. "Come on, let's get back to base." He whispers and pulls me along.
I know he's upset with me but that boy was so nice to me. "Hey Naru. What was that guys name?" I look up at him as he visibly tenses.
Hmm, he's been acting different since yesterday. Did I do something?
"Ryan Glass." He grumbles. "But, that's an American name?" He nods and pulls me through the base door. He makes me sit on the couch and hands me a cup of tea.
"Mai, what did the wall say?" I start to shake just thinking about it. I feel my eyes well up with tears. I push them back. I can't cry, not now.
"It was just handprints and some English words I couldn't make out." I pull my legs up and start to cry. Setting the forgotten tea on the table. "Mai you obviously can't work. Go to bed." I just nod and head to my room.
As I'm going up the stairs I feel a push. Oh no. Not again. Not this time. The invisible force pushes me again and this time I can't keep my balance.
I go tumbling down the steps. I hit the bottom pretty hard and just moan until someone hears me.
"Mai? Mai!" I hear two male voices run towards me. I look over and see Ryan? Wait and Naru?!
The last thing I remember seeing is a worried Naru and Ryan as my vision slowly faded into nothing.
I open my eyes and see nothing but black. Am I dreaming? I look around for Gene but he never appears. Slowly I start to walk around. I can't see my own hand in front of my face but I still know where to walk.
Soon but not soon enough I hear faint voices, I recognize them as Monk's and Naru's.
"When are you going to just man up and tell her how you feel? You know she gets hurt when you insult her so often, I can even hear her crying when she stays with me." I'm shocked to say the least. I thought he was asleep when I did cry. Naru is going to be pissed when I wake up.
"Mai is my assistant. Nothing more if you think anymore about these delusions of yours it simply means I'm not giving you enough work." Naru calmly retorts.
I peek my eyes open for a second to see monks face twisted in anger "YOU IDIOT YOU KNOW HOW SHE FEELS ABOUT YOU AND I KNOW YOU FEEL THE SAME HOW LONG WILL IT BE UNTIL YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH YOURE HURTING HER? YOU MIGHT BE A GENIUS BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW YOUR DECISIONS AFFECT HER AND EVERYONE ELSE. SO MAN UP AND TELL HER. SHE CALLS ME OR AYAKO AND EVEN JOHN CRYING BECAUSE OF YOU. DONT YOU DARE TRY AND TELL ME YOU DONT HAVE ANY FEELINGS FOR HER BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW YOU DO." With that Monk walked out and slammed the door behind him.
I quickly shut my eyes when I heard Naru sigh. " Mai, I'm sorry I hurt you." He whispered grabbing my hand and squeezing it. Out of habit I squeezed him back.
"Mai? Are you awake?" I groaned and fluttered my eyes open to meet my narcissistic boss.
"Hey Naru.." I whispered mainly because my thought is so dry I can barely talk. " Mai, you have been unconscious for the past two days."I felt my eyes widen. "T-two days?!" I quickly sit up and look at him. "Naru, research Zaria Glass."
He looked shocked and nodded. Quickly he picked up a walkie talkie. "Yasuhara. Pull up all your files on Zaria Glass." I honestly had no idea how I knew that. I didn't even know her last name, she must be the one from my dream...
I heard his response before Naru turned his attention to me. I looked at him expecting something to come out of his mouth but he just opened and closed it silently.
After a few minutes I was pulled into a hug by the raven haired boy. "N-Naru? What are you doing?" He just shook his head in response "Mai please be quiet for a second."
I resisted the urge to ask if was feeling ok, he used manners! Slowly I wrapped my arms around his torso, hugging him back. "Mai I wanted to say something for a while now." I look at him waiting for his response. "Naru, just say it."
I saw him struggling to say the right words. Who would've thought? The genius Olivier Davis couldn't thin of anything to say?!
" Mai, I love you." He whispered finally as he pulled away and turned his back on me, not seeing the tears of happiness rush down my face. Naru loves me, and I love him back. With all my heart. "I love you too Naru."
I walk up to him and lace my arms back around him torso from behind. I feel him stiffen up at the gesture, but relax a few seconds after.
He turned around and hugged me back, tightly."I always have." I quietly whisper as I nuzzled my head into his shoulder. "Me too Mai, me too." I felt him tighten his hold on me as those words slipped through his mouth.
Well what did you think? It was supposed to be up earlier but I sort of fell asleep while writing . anyway. I had fun with this chapter. I'm going to add some ayako/Takigawa action in the next chapter. I'm still working on Naru's personality so bear with me hear. It's really hard to write him but I really want to do a Naru POV chapter. Review? They make me all smile :) thank you for everyone who has reviewed so far! -zay
