My Twisted Fairytale
Hey hey! So here's another chapter ^^ Hope you guys will like it! And sorry for the late update, I'm having writer's block
Chapter 7 – Love bugging and my snotty prince
"Thank you." I smiled and hand the change to the costumer. I watched him take his belongings and stepped out. When he's finally out of the building, I let out a sigh. Today seems to be boring. Nothing exciting seems to be happening to me these past few days. I took out my mobile phone on my pocket and checked if I have any messages. To my dismay, I still have none. Whose message am I actually waiting for? The only contact that's on my phone is Natsume…
"Natsume" I mumbled to myself
It has been 3 days since I've last saw him. He hasn't message me or even calls me. I haven't even seen a single stand of his hair!
'Wait! Do I actually am starting to miss him?' I shook my head and slap my face 'No, no! That can't be!' I nod, agreeing to myself as I smile foolishly.
I scanned my eyes around this small unheard store due to boredom, and there I saw my co-worker, Karin, who's currently putting some nail polish on her long nails, then Kyo, the janitor was busy listening to his mp3, humming as he swipe the floor and lastly…My grumpy manager, Yuki. He's admiring himself as he brush the few remaining strands of hair on his almost bald head. I let out another sigh.
Our attention was drawn to a beautiful raven-haired girl who stepped in and stopped in front of me. Karin looked at her with envy on her eyes while Kyo stare at her with admiration, Yuki stopped what he's doing and his jaws dropped when he saw how beautiful the girl is and as for me…I stared at her with wide eyes and I my jaws also dropped.
"A-aoi-chan!" I exclaimed surprisingly
She flashed me a smile "Mikan, You might be wondering why Natsume hasn't been around lately…well, he's sick." Then she grinned
"W-what?!" I said half-shouting. Why is she grinning? She just told me that his brother is sick; ow wait, so the infamous Natsume Hyuuga also gets sick. I smirked as I start to imagine the poor sick Natsume laying on his bed with his pjs while coughing and snot dripping down his nose. I snickered.
"Mikan?" Aoi interrupted while waving his hand in front of my face.
"P-pardon?" I snapped back to reality
"I said if you could take care of Natsume just for today." she smiled sweetly
"W-why me?" I pointed to myself
"Because you're his girlfriend"
Oh…she's right. As his girlfriend it's my job to worry about him, but wait! I'm only pretending to be his girlfriend!
"But I was just pre-" I suddenly stopped talking, realizing that it was supposed to be a secret.
"You were just?" she leans forward
I started to sweat a lot as I looked away. "Ummm…w-well, I'm still working you see." I started to tremble, oh god,I almost spill the beans!
She looked at me suspiciously as her eyes lay on manager whose jaws are still dropped. She approached him and smiled.
"Excuse me sir, are you the manager?" she said sweetly
"Yes, why?" he's back to his normal grumpy old man.
"Would it be alright if Ms. Sakura-chan would take a leave now?"
"No." came his dry reply
"But-" she was cut off when he raised his hand, now facing her face.
"No more buts young lady." He was about to go to the storage room when Aoi-san stopped him.
"She needs to take care of my brother, Natsume HYUUGA." She emphasized his surname that made manager's eyes widen. He immediately eyed me with such scary eyes.
"Sakura! Go take care of Natsume-sama!"
Sama?! When did he ever call someone sama? I sweat dropped at the look of his desperate face.
We are now at Aoi-san's car. She was driving really fast that made my surroundings look nothing like it was before. She opens the stereo and she starts to sing along with it.
Now I'm
speechless, over the edge
I'm just breathless
I never thought
that I'd catch this Lovebug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the
moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this Lovebug again
"Love bug" I mumbled, Images of Natsume being a bug popped out of my mind that startled me and then I was pinched my something. I looked at it and it was a bug?! I took the bug and stared at it.
"Love bug." Aoi-san said taking a glance at the bug as she flashed a smile
"Don't joke with me." I opened the window and released the bug.
I looked at Aoi-san, she was still smiling. 'That can't be.' I said to myself.
We are now in front of Natsume's room. My heart starts to thump really fast like a horse gone wild. Aoi-san knocked and then when she heard Natsume spoke she opened the door. She ran to her sick brother and started to talk to him. I was left on the edge of the bed as I stare at his sickly form. It's amazing, even though he's already sick, he can still be this hot! He doesn't look disgusting at all!
"What are you doing here?" he hissed as he eyed me
I wanted to say something but I'm speechless! I wasn't prepared to see him in this super hot situation. He's sweating a lot, his face is red and he's panting heavily but he really still looks just the same! Drop dead gorgeous!
"Mikan, will be taking of you today." Aoi-san said
"I don't need her help." He looked away
Gaaaah, he's still rude and arrogant!
"Natsume, he's your girlfriend. Be nice and for once swallow your pride." Aoi-san patted his head and walked to the door.
"I'll leave him to you Mikan." With that she closed the door.
Great, I was left in a room with a sick guy, and it's not just your ordinary sick guy…it's the arrogant Natsume.
"Have you been sick this whole time?" I asked as I approached him
He ignored me as he starts to wipe his body but it's obvious that he's having a hard time. I felt sorry for him and took the towel from his hands.
"I told you, I don't need your help!" he glared
"Whatever, just shut up." I started to wipe his forehead and then, I unbutton his shirt and started to wipe his body. It's really uncomfortable and from the looks of it he doesn't like what I'm doing but both of us don't have a choice. When it was finished I hand him a new shirt.
"If you get too close, you might catch my flu." He said as he grabbed the shirt
"Nah, I'm actually strong so it's alright." I smiled and helped him put his shirt
'So he's worried about me.'
I helped him with everything, in eating, in wiping his body, taking his medicine and with lots of stuff. He's finally asleep. I watched him, I stare at his handsome face, he looks like an angel. I smiled and touched his hair.
"I hope you get better soon." With that I started to doze off
I slowly opened my eyes and I looked around. My head doesn't seem to hurt like before. I guess the idiot did a good job at taking care of me. I was about to stand up when my eyes were caught by a brunette who was beside me. She was fast asleep. I smiled and patted her head.
"Thank you." I said to her sleeping form as I kissed her forehead. I stood up and went to the bathroom.
"Yawn!" I opened my eyes and stretched to wake myself up. I looked at the bed hoping to see Natsume but to my surprise, he's not there. I started to panic, I'm getting worried.
"Natsume!" I said, I looked around but he's nowhere, I was about to get out of the room when a hand stopped me. I turned around to look at the person.
"Natsume!" I exclaimed as I hugged him
"Idiot." He said
I realized what I just did; I flashed bright red as I pushed him gently "S-sorry." I looked down.
He smirked and he leans his face towards mine.
"Were you worried about me?" he's teasing me
I wanted to say 'no' but for some reason, I'm speechless. I stared at his eyes it's like it was hypnotizing me. The distance between the two of us was really making me breathless.
'speechless…breathless…don't tell me I actually got hit by love bug?! That's insanity!'
Images of bugs popped on my head! Heck, I don't even know what that love bug actually looks like!!!!
"Quit love bugging me!" I blurted out with frustration
I breathe in and out heavily
"Pfff…" I heard a chuckled. It was Natsume's, he was restraining himself from laughing.
"W-what's so funny?"
"You actually said love bugging? Do you mean that love bug song?" he smirked
"Ah…of course not!" I defended myself as I cross my arms and looked away
"Could it be you've fallen for me?" he's still smirking
"What?! No way! Impossible!" I backed away until my back finally touched the wall
"Really?!" he's approaching me with an evil smirk printed on his face
"R-really!" I slide my feet slowly trying to get away but he blocked my way with his arms
"Ummm…" I don't know what to say, my heart's starting to thump really fast again. It feels like I'm going to have a heart attack soon!
"Don't' fall for me" his smirked faded and his face became serious
"What?! How could you say that?! Don't order me!!!" I talked back
"No…seriously. DON'T." his face was still serious as he gave me a stare.
He's starting to scare me but I can't agree to what he said because even if I try to deny it, something deep within my heart is saying that he became a very important person to me that I can't just stop it.
"I…" I mumbled unconsciously
"Don't say it" he gave me a glare
I was too stubborn and I can no longer control my emotions that I just want to explode. I might actually like him!
"I…I lik-" I was cut off when Aoi-san broke in
"NATSUME!!!" she yelled
We both looked at her with surprise. She gave us an oh-my-gosh-what-were-you-doing kind of look.
"Nee-chan…learn to knock." Natsume approached his sister and he hit her head gently
"But Natsume!!! I did knock!!!" she wined
I smiled at the scene. It's like Natsume is the older sibling scolding his little sister which is Aoi-san. The two continued talking.
"Well, Mikan, thank you so much for taking care of my stubborn brother! I bet you had a hard time." She smiled at me as Natsume pouted at what his sister said
"It's alright. No biggie." I smiled and stepped out of the room
Aoi-san followed me and we had a little conversation until I finally reached the door.
"Thanks again Mikan." She gave me a hug and I hugged her back.
"Bye" I smiled at her and opened the door then…
-WOOOSH-
It was a strong wind that sent chills down to my spine. It was really cold. It was raining hard.
"Oh my…It's raining cats and dogs! It seems impossible for you to go home now." Aoi-san commented
"No, it's alright. I can manage." I smiled and took an umbrella from my bag. Luckily I always carry this with me.
"No please. I insist. Stay." She stopped me with a hand and looked at me with puppy eyes
I stare at her eyes as a hint of guilt stub me. 'How could I possibly resist that…that…that irresistible charm of hers?! It's like; it was drawing me to say yes!!!'
"F-fine." I said finally giving up to her charm
'The Hyuugas really have such amazing charm.' I sweat dropped at the thought
"Yey!" she pushed me to the house and hugged me.
"What is she still doing here?" Natsume who just got down asked rudely
"It's raining hard, so she'll be staying here tonight." Aoi-san smiled
"Tsk…my flu might come back just by seeing her face." He smirked
'How rude!!! I was the one who took care of him!!!'
"Fine then! I'm leaving!" I opened the door with frustration but a hand stopped me
"I'm sorry Aoi-san but I'm going to leave now!" I said as I looked at the owner of the hand and much to my surprise, it wasn't Aoi-san's, it was Natsume's.
"It's raining hard and it's also dark…you might encounter some…" he paused as he looked at me seriously. I listened carefully; it feels like he's going to say something important.
"Some…" he repeated his last word
"Some?" I stare at his serious face
"Some…ghosts" he smirked
What he said gave me goose bumps and I started to tremble.
"G-ghosts? Haha, don't m-make me-me la-ugh" I tried to hide my fear as I twitch
"Fine then, go if you want. Don't blame me when a vengeful ghost suddenly appears and…" he paused again adding a little suspense on me.
"And suddenly cut your head off!" he grinned evily
"KYAAAAA~ I'll stay!!!" I rushed to Aoi-san and hugged her tightly
Aoi-san smiled and patted my head.
That evil Natsume, how could he say such things! Now I'm scared!!!
"Let's go have dinner." Aoi-san said
'Great! So I'll be spending my night at the Hyuuga residence. I wonder what will be in store for me.'
