I did make a mistake in the last chapter… huh? Anyway, thanks for correcting me!
Disclaimer: I own my idea and the story line.
Len was greeted by the maid by the time he stepped into the mansion. As usual, Len kept his head up and walked, without smiling or greeting back to the maid. Len gave his bag, scarf, and coat to one of the maids before he continued his way toward the dining hall. As soon as he reached there, he sat down on one of the chair.
"Welcome home, young master." greeted someone from behind. Len turned his head behind and found Rin, his tutor was there with her smile. Len immediately turned his head back toward the table. It was already annoying enough when Mikuo asked about his tutor and now he must see the subject in question by his own eyes. Len could feel his head was aching.
"Something wrong, young master?" Rin asked politely. Len shook his head.
"Pardon me? Could you answer me with some words instead of body language, young master?" Rin asked again. Len then rubbed his temple and answered, "No."
"Pardon me?"
"Nothing is wrong, now leave, would you?" Len growled. Len could feel his head ached more and more every time the girl speaks to him.
"That would be my pleasure that is after you finish these meals I prepared, young master." Rin put down a tray that was full with a plate of curry, another plate filled with apple that was shaped into rabbit, and a glass full of.. let's say it was a glass of juice. Len stared at it and gave a disgusted look. "What is this crap?" he muttered. To Len, the meals in front of him were unattractive. Len turned his head toward Rin to protest but instead he met a scary smile glaring down at him, making him went silence.
"A crap, huh, young master?" Rin smiled in a scary way. Len gulped.
"Oh, well, if you say so. Please, try to finish the meals, young master." Rin asked while she still smiling in a scary way before she left Len with the meals she prepared. Len could only stare at the tray.
Len was undoing his shirt button when someone dashed in his room and hugged him from behind.
"Hello~, Sweet Heaaart!" a woman chirped from behind as she hugged Len. Len, who already used to this kind of treatment, could only sigh and continued to unbutton his shirt. "Hello, Mom." He replied, ignoring his mom who was clinging to him now. His mom immediately released her arms from Len. "Oh, come on! Don't you miss your mom here, Len?" Len's mom pouted.
"Uh, sure, I miss you too." Len gave his mother a half assed answer. His mother pouted again.
"That's not nice. I will cut your allowance if you're like this." she muttered. Upon hearing this, Len jolted and immediately begged his mom not to cut his allowance.
"I- I was joking, okay?" Len tried to reason with his mom. "I miss you a lot! So, don't cut my allowance, please?" Len begged. His mom giggled and gave him a hug.
"Nah, I won't do it." she giggled again. Len sighed. 'That was close..' he thought. If his allowance was going to be cut, with his life style of partying, drinking, and playing women, it would be a history for him. "Oh, do you know why I'm here today?" Len's mom asked Len with a smile.
"No? I don't even hear anything about you coming back." Len replied, raising his eyebrows.
"Oh, you don't need to know then." his mom stated.
"Then don't start it, mom." Len replied. He was done unbuttoning his shirt and was looking for another shirt to wear. His mom could only stare at him without blinking.
"Sweet heart, you sure had grown, huh?" His mom blurted out suddenly. Len turned his head toward his mother after he put on his other shirt.
"I guess?" He raised an eyebrow. His mom continued to stare at him until she finally snapped.
"Oh, I should go now." she said to Len. "Bye, sweet heart." she kissed his forehead and the next thing Len knew was his mother already left his room.
Len sighed. It was always like this. His mother would always leave after a small talk with him. She was hardly seen either in the mansion since his childhood due her job as a model. Of course, feeling of loneliness as a child in his childhood was always there and it hadn't changed at all until now. It just felt better lately.
" Good evening, Mistress." Rin greeted a young woman with golden lock and blue azure eyes. The young woman hair reached her hips, complementing her black skirt and white blouse.
"Evening, Rin-chan." she greeted back with a smile. Rin smiled back.
"Where are you going?" the young woman asked. Rin was carrying few books that looked really heavy for her. "And what will you do to these books?" she added. Her index finger pointed at the books Rin was carrying.
"These books? I'm planning to give these to young master, Madam." Rin replied. The young woman giggled a little.
"Such a good girl you're, Rin-chan." She patted Rin's head. Rin blushed a little.
"Thank you, Madam." The woman giggled again. "You're welcome." was what the young woman; the mistress, said to Rin before she bid her good bye and left. Rin, who was still blushing a little, continued her way to the young master room.
"Pardon the interruption, young master." Rin said when she entered the room.
"What now?" Len growled as soon as he saw Rin's face. He rolled from one side of his bed toward the other side. Rin put down the books she carried earlier on a small table near the window.
"I'm here to give you these, young master." she patted one of the books. Len, who was burying his face into a pillow, looked up.
"Why do I ne— No, I'm sorry, I mean, what the hell I'm supposed to do with those?" he hesitantly asked.
"Read it, Duh." Rin rolled her eyes with her arms folded in front of her chest.
"Wh—"
"And if you ask why, you only need to know that you must read it." Rin said, cutting Len's word.
"Uh.. How about no? I don't want and I don't need to read anything like that at the moment." Len tried to reason with Rin. "How about yes?" Len glared at Rin with a 'What the fuck?' face. Once again, Rin rolled her eyes. "Anyway, reasoning with me won't give you anything and don't give me that face. Thank you." and she left Len with a pile of book to read. Len mentally screamed.
His eyes scanned the words in front of him slowly but steady. Not too long, he closed the book and put it on his lap. "My God.." he growled while massaging his temple which was ached after reading all the books his tutor gave him earlier. Len's eyes were intense as he stared at the last book he read just now.
"Why did she went and gave me these kind of books to read. Argh.." he growled. It was already a pain enough to eat her meals this evening and earlier she gave him many books to read. Not to mention the books Rin brought to Len was all about love story and the likes and Len disliked those kinds of books. For being honest he would say that love story in a book was just a recycle of a real love story which only show a good side of ending for the character in it. It was really a pain for him to read it. If it wasn't Rin, his so called tutor, he wouldn't ever read it.
Suddenly a knock was heard from the door of Len's room. "Come in." Len gave his permission to the person who was about to enter.
"Young master, you got a call from Mikuo-sama." the maid who showed up from behind the door told Len."Mikuo?" Len raised his eyebrows. Then, he immediately dashed down to downstair.
"Mikuo? What the heck are you calling for?" Len yelled at Mikuo. "Yo, Len! I thought of having some chatting with you now." Mikuo chuckled. "Now? Like right now? At this kind of time?" Len questioned. "Yep. Let's meet at the usual cake shop, okay?" Mikuo said before he ended the conversation. Len could only sigh and immediately went to his room to change his clothes.
"Young master, where are you going at such hour?" a maid asked Len when Len was on the front door. "Somewhere, don't tell anyone, okay?" Len tied his shoes. The maid only nodded. "As you wish."
"Don't tell that tutor too. It'll be troublesome." Len added. The maid nodded once again and said, "Have a safe trip, young master." as Len left the house while running.
I'm really sorry, I just updated now. My school's schedule just a mess.
Luckily I got 4 days holiday starting tomorrow.
Anyway, please review.
