Hello everyone. Thank you for the reviews. Please keep them coming.

Let us proceed to the story then...

CHAPTER 3

On the 8th day of Misaki's stay with Usui:

Early in the morning, Misaki's cell phone woke her up. Her mother had called to tell her that she was back home. As soon as she registered the new information, she jumped out of her, no, Usui's bed and began searching for all her stuff. She was so comfortable in his house that she treated it as her own personal space. Since Usui didnt mind it, she kept her things wherever she pleased. This, however, made packing a big problem. She brushed her teeth while simultaneously combing her hair and changing into "more presentable" clothing. She then ran around the whole house to find all her belongings. It seemed like an insane person forcing random articles into a bag. Her bag looked like a puff-ball after she had finished packing.

Slightly embarrassed, she kept her bag on the couch and looked for Usui. She was so anxious to see her mother and to ensure that she was in perfect health that she did not realize his absence. She checked the kitchen, the balcony and the bathroom. He was not there.

Having decided to wait for him at school, she made her way towards her house.

At the end of the day, in Misaki's room:

Mother had returned home safely and so had Suzuna. Now her only worry was USUI. Damn, that idiot. Why did he have to make her miss him so much? She could not even concentrate properly! He had not contacted her since morning - he did not show up at school and not even at maid latte. She had checked his apartment four times. All his belongings were there including his cell phone. She had left him a note each time she went to his apartment. Her last note asked him to contact her as soon as he read it. She got butterflies everytime her phone rang but his call never came. She had never longed to hear his voice as much as she did now.

How could he disappear without notice? As she unpacked her bag, she wished to atleast know where he was. As though in answer to her prayer, she found a note in her bag.

"Dear Ayuzawa,

"Dear Ayuzawa?" Misaki's mind refused to believe what it read, " Since when did he stop using the adress- dearest misaki?"

I am leaving for London tomorrow. I am sorry for having caused you so much pain. I do not want to hurt you anymore.

Misaki could not understand what he was saying until the memories of the previous evening came back to her.

FLASHBACK:

It was a perfect evening. They were in the park, holding hands.

"I love you misaki."

"I hate you!"

Misaki was not herself that evening. She really loathed Usui's presence. Unlike the usual times, she felt that she meant each word that she said.

"I know Ayuzawa, I know."

"No...u dont! I really despise you...cant you stop following me around? Cant you just...leave me alone?"

"But Misaki, I thought that we were a couple."

"Yes we were...I thought that you were smart enough to realize that things are not working out. I thought that you would stop following me around once you realize that we are not meant to be. I have had enough now...please, move on, Usui."

Sorrow evident in his eyes, Usui kept quiet. That night, they did not speak. Usui took the couch and let Misaki have the bed.

END OF FLASHBACK:

Misaki hated herself for saying all this. How could she say something that she didnt mean at all? How could she? If only she could meet Usui and tell him to forget that day, to forget what she had said. Tears rolled down her cheeks as thought of the moments they had shared together. How could he not know that she did not mean it?

There...she was blaming him again. It was clearly her fault. She wiped her tears to read on.

I wish you a very happy life, Ayuzawa. And please do me one last favour - keep the keys to my apartment. It belongs to you now. Fare well.

Warm regards,

Takumi Usui.

Regards? Not even love? Thinking about it, she felt that she deserved it. After all the pain she had inflicted on him, she deserved all this pain. But that did not mean that she would give up on them...not so soon.
