Chapter 4: Denial to the heart

Mamoru woke up bright and early and took a shower; he even went as far as using a rose scented soap that had cost him a lot just for when he was going to see Usagi. Once out he fidgeted with what to wear. He had a look at himself in the mirror and decided that he looked ok. He knocked on Usagi's door and caught his breath at the sight of her; she was wearing a white blouse that was open enough to see her cleavage, she had a black skirt that clung to her skin that reached mid thigh, under the skirt were some black leggings and to finish the look she had high heel black leather boots that reached her knees. He stood there with his mouth open and a little bit of drool at the corner of his lips.

"Are you just going to stand there? I would appreciate if we could get a move on." Usagi said annoyed that not only had she woken up early but she had been subdued to Minako who was eagerly pulling outfits and doing her light make up. When she realized he wasn't planning on moving she snorted, grabbed his arm while closing the door and dragged him to the elevator. He looked at Usagi and saw that she was clearly annoyed by having to wake up early, he kept stealing glances of her and the more he looked the more sure he became that she was a model/goddess.

"So… do I look ok for the agency?" she asked slightly nervous. Mamoru turned and smirked deciding to take this opportunity to look at her without having to be nervous about it. He got close to her and looked her up and down slowly while she blushed, he nodded appreciatively.

"Hmm, not bad at all Odango. Mind giving me a twirl?" he said in a low voice. She twirled slowly while staring at him. Again he nodded and placed an arm on her waist, she jumped out of surprise but he did not let go.

"Might as well make it look like a couple before someone attacks you." He said playfully and at the same time serious. Her eyes widened and he chuckled. They stepped out and headed for his car, she seated as close to the door as possible feeling very uncomfortable. The ride to the agency was spent in an uncomfortable silence; Usagi kept her gaze to the window while Mamoru stole glances at her. Once parked Mamoru jogged to her door and opened her door while offering a hand to help her out, she hesitantly took it.

"Thanks." She murmured and he smiled brightly at her. He closed the door and wrapped his arm around her waist, once again she jumped, squealed and blushed much to his amusement. But as quickly as his smile had appeared it vanished once he noticed that lots of men were staring at her with lust in their eyes. He pulled her closer to him and glared at anyone that dared to look at her in that way. Together they headed to the elevator.

"So are you nervous?" he asked her trying to lighten the mood. She blushed and nodded; he chuckled.

"Don't be. You'll do great. Think about it: you are funny, charming, friendly, and cheerful and …hot to the boot." He finished with a smirk when she punched his arm playfully. She blushed furiously at his statement. Pretty soon they were in front of an office, Mamoru knocked thrice and entered. Inside was a very handsome man wearing glasses; Usagi blushed again at how handsome he was. The man behind the desk had dark hair that when the light hit it it appeared red; his eyes were a deep black but flashed silver with light; to Usagi he was handsome and the most mysterious man she had ever met.

"Well good morning, Mamoru. Who is this lovely young lady that has come with you?" the handsome man asked while flashing Usagi a gorgeous smile to which she nearly fainted. Mamoru, who had been watching her from the corner of his eyes, was drowning in jealousy but kept his cool façade intact.

"Her name is Usagi; I've brought her for an audition. I belive she can become quite the model." He said with a hint of pride but a little possessiveness at the beginning. The man scanned her body appreciatively while nodding his praise, a small smile playing at his lips. Mamoru noticed the look on his boss and stepped closer to her while clenching his fists, he might not want to admit it but he was jealous that she was mesmerized by his boss and at the moment he wished he hadn't brought her. Once his boss had finished scanning Usagi's body with his eyes he stood up making Mamoru react by placing his hand at her waist receiving a squeak from her but he ignored it.

"Oh yes! She is perfect, absolutely perfect! Say Usagi, would you mind doing a photo shoot just for testing? If you like it you can sign a contract with us. Would you be…interested?" the boss said as he came closer and whispered the last word seductively in her ear. She shivered from pleasure and nodded in a daze. He grinned and stepped away. He offered his hand which she gladly accepted; both left the office leaving a fuming Mamoru who suddenly had thoughts of murdering his boss.

Back in the apartment complex…

"So they went out already?" Rei asked pleased that Mamoru was finally stepping up.

"Yes, they took off a while ago! You should have seen his face! He was practically drooling." Minako squealed while jumping up and down from joy. Suddenly their doorbell rang and Rei stood up to answer the door. She opened the door to find an unhappy Setsuna outside.

"By any chance, do you happen to know where Mamoru-san is? Rei-san?" she asked while crossing her arms in front of her chest, though her face remained calm Rei knew the time senshi was feeling anything but calm.

"Good morning to you too, Setsuna-san! And to answer your question, no I don't know where he is. I'm not his nanny. Although…my intuition tells me that wherever Usa-chan is he is as well." She said smugly and sarcastically, she was clearly lying to the time senshi but couldn't care less. There was something about Setsuna that Rei just didn't like.

'Maybe the way she thinks she owns the place. I can't stand her sometimes when she gets all I'm-the-one-who-gives-orders-here. Ugh! How do I make her get out of my sight before I strangle her!' Rei thought.

"Oh! Then where might Usagi-san be?" Setsuna asked in an irritated tone that was threatening to break the fire senshi's self-control.

"I don't know! I'm nobody's nanny! So if that's the only thing you came in here for, then goodbye!" Rei shouted in irritation and closed the door on Setsuna's face, she delighted when she heard a thud at the other side which meant: She fell. Success! Rei smirked and walked to the bedroom where Minako was waiting for her. Minako looked at Rei anxious and Rei smiled and plopped in the bed.

"So…Setsuna wanted to find out where Mamoru is?" Minako questioned. Rei nodded and scowled.

"She just doesn't give up! She irritates me to no end! Even more than Usa-chan, and that's saying something!" Rei said releasing part of her frustrations and ending it with a snort. Minako burst laughing and Rei looked at her confused.

"It's just that I never imagined in my life that you would say that!" Minako said in a fit of giggles while Rei just smirked and crawled toward Minako.

"Well I forgot to mention that you are almost at the same level of annoying as them. But then again everybody thinks so." Rei stopped and made a run for the door but Minako tackled her and both fell to the floor in a fit of giggles.

At the agency….

Mamoru stood in fury as he waited for Usagi and his boss to come back, but as time flew by he got impatient and started looking for them. He went from room to room trying to find them until he heard giggles and followed them.

"Stop it Toya! That tickles!" he heard Usagi say between giggles. He finally found them and anger and jealousy took over him: there in the room was his boss tickling her in a very compromising position. She was on the floor while he was hovering over her.

"Fine! Yes I'll accompany you to dinner! Now stop that!" she said breathlessly and he released her with a triumphant grin. She smiled dazedly and made to stand up with his help. Once they were standing they stared at each others eyes with dazed smiles. Mamoru stood there watching the exchange with a heavy heart as he realized that maybe he might loose her. Mamoru shoved his emotions aside and tried to act cool as he cleared his throat, the dazed duo snapped their heads in his directions and his heart fluttered when she smiled at him. She jogged to him and grabbed his arm, he stared dreamily until he saw that she was once again staring at his boss.

"Oh I'm sorry for taking so much time with her, Mamoru. And I was meaning to ask, is she your girlfriend?" he asked hoping that she wasn't. Both Mamoru and Usagi froze and answered at the same time: "She is!" "I'm not!" Their eyes widened after and they stared at each other, Mamoru with hurt and Usagi in surprise.

"Excellent so I'll be seeing you on the weekend Usagi-chan." He said huskily ass he kissed her hand without removing his eyes from hers and then leaned forward to kiss her cheek lingering there. Mamoru went livid and started shaking as he glanced away. Mamoru was in a whirl of thought as he thought of the events of the day:

Great! Just great! I bring her so that we could bond and turns out that yeah!, she did bond…but with my BOSS!! Not only that but they are already planning on going out. I need help…I can't do this alone…Time to make an appointment with Minako aka Aphrodite. His thinking process was cut short when he felt Usagi taking his hand and leading him to the elevator. He just let her lead because he felt no strength. Once in the elevator Usagi spoke up:

"I didn't know you had such a nice boss Mamoru." She said smiling brightly. He looked away and put his hands in his pockets while leaning.

"You seem to like him. Are you really going to go out with him?" he asked in a quiet voice not at all like himself, but Usagi didn't notice the change.

"I really do like him, you know? It's so weird…but somehow…I just don't know. He is charming, kind, funny, and devilishly handsome. I don't why I can't go out with him. Besides, it's not like we will start a relationship, we will just get to know each other and if it goes further then so be it." Usagi said thoughtfully and shrugged not noticing that every word that she said had pierced him because he wished she would say that but about himself. After a few minutes they were in his car and she shook his arm in a playful manner and smiled at him.

"Can we go eat? I'm starving!!" she said while rubbing her tummy, he couldn't help but laugh. He nodded and patted her head.

"Ok, let's feed the Odango." He said softly and tenderly while he lightly stroked her cheek, she blushed at his tone but later was mesmerized by his eyes. He got so lost in her eyes that he started leaning in an cupped her face with both hands, but when he was just a breath away she snapped herself and gently pushed him away. He opened his eyes and saw her apologetic look, he quickly cursed under his breath and glanced away. While Usagi was thinking about Mamoru's behavior:

He is acting so weird! I mean…he was about to kiss me right now! Could he be…no that is just not possible. And besides if he was…well I…


That was a really hard chapter to write! And before people start saying that Usagi is acting like a whore let me clarify that she has free will and has no intention of starting a relationship, she just wants to get to know the guys.

I'm thinking this story will have a sequel, but still I am not sure. Open for voting and suggestions.
