Haruhi petrified. All the cells in her body one by one turned into unmovable, lifeless pieces of rocks.
"Your order" the waitress placed the coffee and cookies on the table and then turning to Kyoya smiled at him brightly "We have a new kind of..."
"We are not interested" Kyoya snorted "would you leave me alone with my girlfriend, please?"
The waitress's eyes grew big. She turned and looked at Haruhi so startled that Haruhi thought she would jump in a moment. She nodded, mumbled an apology and left quickly. Haruhi could hear how she was complaining to a coworker.
"Do you see that super hot young man there?" she was pointing at Kyoya "Can you imagine that the girl with him is his girlfriend?"
"She isn't a bad looking one" the friend mumbled and then yelped in pain when the other waitress displeased with the answer hit her side slightly.
"Maybe she is good in bed, who knows?" she corrected herself.
"Well..?" Kyoya looked at Haruhi "So you agree or you want your father in prison?"
Haruhi sighed and shook her head.
"As if I have a choice" she mumbled "The only good part is that I don't have to seduce you, which would have been impossible."
"Impossible?" Kyoya's eyebrows turned up "Why would it be impossible?"
"You are emotionless and cold" she snorted "I could only seduce you by bribing you with money."
Kyoya chuckled. His face brightened up and he smiled sipping from the cup.
"Let's call this a good deal, Haruhi" he said amused "I help you, you help me. We will break up when I will be able to set the necessary situation where my father will be happy with it."
"Are you going to murder me?" Haruhi asked narrowing her eyes.
"If necessary" he laughed again.
Haruhi rubbed her forehead. How annoying her life could become? At least the rich bastard wants to eventually break up with her. Just the perspectives don't seem amusing to her. Are they going to suddenly announce about their relationship or just keep it a secret and make it known when its necessary. Haruhi's phone rung suddenly and she jumped up in surprise. She grabbed it and looking at the screen, looked back at Kyoya Ootori astonished.
"It's your father" she muttered.
He didn't look as surprised as Haruhi would expect but he gave her a nod and continued to sip his coffee. She took the phone and went far away.
"Hello Ootori-san" she said quietly "... Yeah, that is right...I met him in the library and invited him to have coffee with me and he surprisingly agreed... of course he doesn't suspect anything... Yes of course I will inform you if there any progress... thank you."
She turned off the phone and looked at Kyoya. What the hell? The old man is following her now and he learnt that she and Kyoya got to have a cup of coffee together. Although he didn't seem to know the nature of the conversation his son and her were having which was a good thing. But she suspected that it wouldn't be long until his spies find better ways of stalking where they will provide the crazy old man with more material information. She looked at Kyoya who seemed really amused and happy. Why wouldn't he? Not every day you find out you are going to be Ootori Yoshio's successor. She looked at him more carefully. She needed to talk to him alone, with no people around them. Who knows if the woman with the pink jacket sitting at the next table isn't one of the Yoshio's spies. She went to Kyoya and looked at him smilingly.
"Can I have word would you?" she asked.
"What was my fa..." Haruhi put her index finger on kyoya's lips.
"Please come with me" she said.
Kyoya looked at her confused but decided to follow the young woman. She walked through the corridor and went to the bathroom section but seeing two women there, she changed her way to the left and seeing a door there, opened it and pulled Kyoya with her. It was a closet, stocked with coffee bags and cooking materials.
"What are you doing?" Kyoya asked surprised.
"Shh" Haruhi looked around carefully. There was no one. She sighed in relief.
"Your father is spying on me. He called me and told me that his men saw me with you. He asked me how I managed to take you to the cafe and asked me to keep him informed on our relationship."
Kyoya smirked and burst into laughing.
"This is going to be fun" he chuckled "We will see who will win this game."
"Hey" Haruhi got irritated "Do you understand that your plan of me becoming your girlfriend won't work. He will find out and everything will be over."
"That is right" he said without humor in his voice "then we will pretend to be falling in love. We will act very carefully in the public places to make sure my father doesn't suspect anything."
Haruhi shook her head annoyed. That was madness. Why did she need to put up with all of this?
"Pretend you are trying to seduce me and I will pretend I fall for it" he said smiling.
"Excuse me" Haruhi snorted "How do I seduce you?"
Kyoya leant towards her. His face went lower and Haruhi gasped at the uncomfortable feeling that she was experiencing. She nearly screamed when she felt his lips touching her neck. Her body tensed and froze. His touch sent shivers through her mind and every single tiny part of her skin stood up like an army preparing to fight. Kyoya's lips pressed on her neck a little bit more and she felt how her energy was leaving her. Her mind went blank and she closed her eyes. His lips on her neck felt incredible.
