STARTING A NEW LIFE
I don't own ghost hunt
******CHAPTER 4******
The next day Mai woke up from the best sleep she had ever had in a long time. She got ready to start the day. She ate her breakfast, and then got her books to go to her classes. The day went great, she actually liked her classes but she was given so many assignments that she thought she will never finish them in time. She will have to work hard and maybe drink a lot of tea. On her way back to her dorm Lin caught up with her, she was happy to see him again.
"Hello Mai!" Lin greeted
"Hi Lin!" she smiled at him
"How where your classes today?"
"Well I really like them, very interesting mmmm…. I think I will be learning a lot. Oh! And I go tons of homework, I also sign up for the internship at BSPR. I want to do so much I think I won't have time to even sleep" she laughed
Lin chuckled, she wanted to do so much, she was like full of energy. "Remember to give yourself time to rest also; you don't want to be like me. I also could help you, if you want"
Mai looked up at him, he was so tall, she had grown but she was still much shorter than him "Thank you I think I might need help, Yasu used to tutor me sometimes. He wouldn't leave me alone until I got it, it was horrible!"
Lin remembered the mischievous Yasu, he was very smart and very good scholar. He could imagine Yasu doing everything he could so Mai could understand him. "well, I wouldn't mind doing the same"
Mai blushed and nodded she liked the idea of spending more time with Lin.
"Here my number, call me if you need anything, whatever it is call" Lin said giving her a card. " I have to go, Naru wants us to do more work"
Mai rolled her eyes , Naru was still a workaholic .
She said good bye and saw him leave, she liked seen him walk. He was tall, broad shoulders and the way he dressed made him look very handsome. He also has a very strong presence, demanding attention and respect. She wondered how he saw her. She shrugged her shoulders and decided to go and get her work done.
BSPR -Oliver's Davis office
Oliver was reading over some case files, his thoughts suddenly turned to Mai. She had changed so much since the time he lived in Japan. He now knew that she had been doing very well with her studies, she had always been smart but he like teasing her and call her an idiot like he did with his brother. Gene and Mai had the same personality, they were the only ones that would stand up to him or make him feel alive. He had missed her, not in the romantic way but as a friend.
He couldn't help tease her yesterday when he first saw her, she always reacted the way he liked and he couldn't help to feel somehow alive again. He could also see that Lin saw it the same way; he had never seen Lin acting the way he did yesterday. Oliver smiled for the first time in a long time, a really sincere smile and he couldn't help to think that she brought happiness to their lives; she was like a light in his dark world.
Oliver heard a gasp coming from the door and he turned to see the person who came in to the office without knocking. His mother and Madoka where standing there, they looked shocked. Luella his mother ran to his side and hugged him, tears falling but smiling.
"Noll, you were smiling" Luella said still not letting go of him, his mother is the sweetest woman he have ever meet. She cared too much, even when he didn't show his affection to her she knew that he loved her. Also she was the only one that hugged him other than Gene, he could never tell her not to because he didn't want her to hurt.
"Mother"
"Oh Noll, what happen? tell me, who made you smile? I want to meet my future daughter" Luella said hugging him tightly
"I beat I know who it is" Madoka teased
"Madoka!"
Luella turned to see Madoka "you know! Who is it? Why didn't you say anything before?" Luella asked happily, oh she couldn't wait to meet her.
"Mai of course" Madoka smiled remembering the way Noll acted with his ex-assistant
Luella ran toward Madoka and hugged her, they both started to jump with excitement. Oliver couldn't help to roll his eyes at the childish behavior of his mother and mentor.
"Is not what you think mother, Lin is seen her"
"WHAT!" Luella and Madoka said at the same time.
Oliver smirked "I followed them yesterday, they were on a date" that will get them off of him and Lin would have to suffer now
Madoka's eyes widen "I can't believe it!"
Luella frowned, her dreams of having grandchildren disappeared again, but then Lin would let her help Mai with their children, it will be fun. She smiled again.
Lin entered the office in that moment and was ambushed by Luella and Madoka, both hugging him and saying congratulations. They dragged him to the sofa. Lin wondered how the 2 fragile looking women where so strong.
"I want to hear everything" Madoka said
Lin looked at Oliver, who just shrugged his shoulders and smirked. Lin narrowed his eyes at him, what was all this about.
"Don't think Noll will help you get out of this Lin, I want to know about Mai" Madoka said while wiggling her eyebrows.
Luella nodded rapidly.
Lin narrowed his eyes at her and then his face soften "there is nothing to tell"
"Lin, they know about yesterday's dinner" Oliver said
"We went out for dinner" he said in a flat tone
Madoka giggled "so finally you are going out, I thought that day will never come"
Luella pouted "So when am I going to meet her? I'm the only one that hasn't meet her"
"You have , she was Noll's assistant in Japan. She's now here, goes to Cambridge" Lin said
Luella looked at Madoka, the second one nodded.
"Whatever you two are thinking stop, Mai needs to study"
"Oh he's so cute been protective" Luella coed but totally ignoring him
Madoka giggled "oh common Koujo! We only want to spoil her a little"
"You will never stop them" Oliver said
"I know" Lin said resigned and watched both women leave the office waving
"so, have something to tell me" Oliver said smirking, he never had been a gossip person but Lin was his only friend and honesty he was curious, he never thought Lin will go for someone that was Japanese.
Lin looked up, the boy was happy?! It had been a long time since he saw Noll at least have a hint of teasing in his tone "we went out for dinner"
Oliver rolled his "I know that already!"
"I like her" he informed
"Lin tell me something I don't know"
"You knew?" Lin asked shocked
"I saw you with her yesterday"
"She's been on my mind since we left"
"I missed her also, but after the confession it was not a good idea to contact her"
Lin nodded "You are ok with this?"
"Lin I see her as a friend, she reminds me of my brother. That are my feelings toward her"
Lin was glad to hear that, he mention a few things about the date. After that both got back to work.
Mai's dorm
Mai was looking from book to book trying to figure out what essay she should write when she heard a knock , she stood up to answer and as soon as she open the door she was tackled by a pink blur.
"Mai-chan!"
Mai looked at Madoka and hugged her "I missed you Madoka"
Madoka laughed and picked up the small brunette " this in Luella Naru's mother , we come to steal you away, we need to catch up" Madoka grabbed Mai pulling her out of her apartment not giving her any chance to answer or argue. "Luella get her coat and keys"
"Madoka I have things to do" Mai complain trying to get out of Madoka's grip
"Nah! You have plenty of time, now we are having some girl time!"
Luella and Madoka dragged Mai to the car and headed off for some girl time.
