Chapter 4: Misunderstanding?
As Misaki's tray plummets to the polished marble floor she notices her behavior and composes herself. Misaki bowed loyally and apologized for her act.
"I'm sorry for my behavior, Master. I will promise to serve you loyally as you stay loyal to me." Misaki smiled her usual 'serving smile', it was Madison. Madison was wondering why Misaki was acting weird. "Oh! Misaki! I didn't know you worked here, is there something wrong?"
"Never mind that, allow me to show you your table." Misaki slapped on her smile. What brought Madison here? "What would you like to order?"
"Well, I would like some hot green tea. No sugar please. Also, I would like to order some teriyaki and your smallest serving of Miso soup. That is all. Thank you." Madison seemed to be half focused on her order and seems to be searching for some one or something.
"Okay, please wait for you food to come. Thank you." Madison sped to the kitchen to where Usui was. She was terrified and worried.
"Oh, Misa-chan, have you happened to see Erika? She was supposed to serve the Won Ton soup I made to a customer a while ago. Its getting cold. You look like you saw a ghost Misaki, is something-"
Misaki tossed her notepad to him, in which she uses to write down the orders with the name of one of the customers at the bottom.
"I see..." Usui looked indifferent. "Its okay, isn't it? It doesn't matter if she knows now does it? She's very friendly. I have had many conversations with her."
"You spoke to her many times? Where does she speak to you? We spoke only a few times."
"At maid latte. I see her on the days you're not working for some reason. She waits until closing time to talk to me. 'Cuz, that's when I'm actually free. Although we don't work there everyday, it should be known she's become about a daily customer." Usui explained while he completed Madison's food onto a tray.
Misaki became a bit red. Surprise in her eyes. "H-how could she? How could you? How come you only tell me now? Baka...baka! Baka!" She started hitting Usui. Usui allowed it. She took Madison's tray and walked to her table. She quickly served it without a word. Their eyes did not meet because Misaki would not allow it. Madison guessed she found out. "It's-" Madison wasn't allowed to continue.
"How could you. Unsaid, you knew how I felt about him and how he felt about me. I was sure about him, but I guess he traded me for some one else. Thank you for coming to maid latte." Misaki set the check as a sign for Madison to leave, she turned on her heels and left to the backroom.
"Satsuki-san, is it okay if I leave right now? I really need to head home." Misaki was breathing heavily and hesitatingly. As if she wanted to stop breathing.
A sigh escaped Satsuki's mouth. She could understand how Misaki felt. If it is for oyur own good, then it can't be helped." She smiled gently with worry in her eyes.
"Thank you." Misaki changed in a flash. She was heading towards the exit. Usui hoped to hear a goodbye or receive a last glance from Misaki at least. When she didn't bother, Usui took hold of her wrist. "Misa-chan..." "Let go of me." "Misaki...please. There was nothing between Madison and I, it was just-" "Let. Go. Of. Me." Misaki still wouldnt look at him. Usui's grip loosened. She shook of his hand, and it dropped to the owner's side. The whole kitchen was silent. The mini clicks of Ayuzawa's shoes were what could fill in the silence. She rested at the bus station, sitting lonely on the bench.
Maid Latte~~
Usui still stood there, where he was when she left. His head was down, face staring at the ground.
"You can rest also, Usui. I will take over from here. It's closing time anyways." She turned to the rest of the girls who standing at the doorway between the cafeteria and kitchen.
"Subaru-san, clean up the remaining tables. Honoka-chan, greet the customers leaving, and Erika clean the kitchen. I will make the remaining orders." Everyone was heading to their designated area.
"What's going on?" Aoi popped up.
"It's nothing Aoi." Satsuki felt it was rude to tell about other's problems. Aoi grunted and skipped off.
She reached the dining area. He knew who he was searching for. He stood at the table, arms crossed. Right when Aoi was about to open his mouth to speak...
"What are you looking at gay guy." It was like the words slapped Aoi in the face, which of course made him snap.
"Oh hell, no! Who are you calling a 'gay guy'? You boyfriend stealer!" Aoi shot his deadliest look at Madison. Madison just sat there toying with her hair. "Don't act like you didn't hear me! I knew right from the start there was something fishy about you! No one could have been that nice with an unwanted past! You tried stealing Usui, and that must've hurt Misaki! Besides! Where the hell is she even at? It was all you. Aoi bending over closer to Madison pointing at her with one left hand on his hip. When Madison noticed they were drawing attention, she put on her cute and innocent face.
"I didn't mean to Aoi-chi! I didn't! Honest! What are you even talking about! Nothing and I mean nothing was on purpose! How could you be so mean and start pointing fingers and blaming me!" She started to 'sob'.
"Aoi! Stop that right now and get over here!" Satsuki was furious that Aoi was causing a ruckus.
Aoi bent over to say something to Madison privately. But Madison was the quicker one. "Usui is mine and mine only. No one else's, not even that darn Misaki's. That's final. Now get out of here before I sob again." She threatened.
"You wouldn't dare!" Aoi hissed.
"I'm giving you three seconds. Three, two, one..." She started. Aoi left fast enough to be safe.
Everyone was starting to leave Maid Latte because it was closing time. Madison stayed behind, She did pay for her meal of course. As soon as all the customers were gone, Madison slipped into the backroom. "Oh, Usui!" She happily greeted. "I wanted to talk to you, but privately." "I can't allow us to talk anymore without Ayuzawa's permission anymore. I cannot risk anything between me and her. "Usui, all of us will leave now. Thank you, you worked hard today! Please lock up the building before you leave! Good bye!" Satuski and everyone else left together. Aoi was trailing behind them. She shot a dirty look at Madison, stuck her tongue at her and left. Madison didn't care. Usui was hurt, it was the same exact sentence Satsuki would say but this time, it was without Misaki's name. If sounded empty. Once the group was out of sight, it was just Usui and Madison.
Back to Ayuzawa!~~ Bus Station
"(I guess I was being unreasonable to both of them. It was just a tiny chat every so often right? Usui wouldn't lie to me, he couldn't. He never broke any promise he made to me. I realized I was just being jealous. But...why? It's not like Usui would just leave me for some other girl. I was truly trouble to them, I must go back and apologize. I just made one hell of a misunderstanding.)" With that, Misaki's mood brightened, she wiped her tears and fixed her hair. Although she was ashamed of herself for being trouble. Misaki stood up, and turned around to see the Idiot Trio there. "Oi, Misa-chan. Is everything okay?" Shiroyan asked seeing Misaki look like she just saw a really sad drama. "Yeah, he's right. You seem a little tired. Go rest up Misa-chan! It should make you all better by tomorrow!" Ikkun gave Misaki a thumbs up and an encouraging smile.
Misaki smiled. There were people who cared about her. "Yeah, there was just a little misunderstanding. Thanks, I gotta go. i'm in a rush." Once said, she bursted into sprints towards Maid Latte.
Maid Latte~~
"Usui." Madison said. Usui said nothing. "Forget about Misaki." Usui snapped his head up. Face in disgust. "No way. She's a rare human being and I'm not just gonna throw her away like that." He starts to leave but Madison hugs him from behind. Usui was surprised and caught off guard. He turns to push Madison away but she kisses him. Arms around his neck. He returns the kiss for some reason. Sending all his stress to his actions. His hands are at her waist. Usui was blank in his head. He couldn't think. He just couldn't.
Ayuzawa was peeking through the doorway, impossibly frozen. Her eyes blurring, she runs away again, back home.
I'm am SO sorry for the late update if it seems to be to you guys! Anyways, I really didn't know how this chapter should've gone. I am really bad at ideas. If any of you have suggestions for my stories, like of what should take place or happen, then PLEASE review it or send it in message form. I need all the help I can get! And tell me what you think of Madison. I made her up. I think something is missing from her personality, as if I didn't describe her well enough. Oh well, I'll change that in the future! This story will have even worse cases come up. So please, if you feel I overdid something, it's because I wanted to make this a SUPER sad story. You might hate me in the near future chapters. So please, don't, I'll cry. Haha. :)
