Chapter Seven

Project

After a few days, Zoro was always jealous of the guys who always talked to Robin. He didn't know why but he always wanted to kill the guys who always flirt with her. Robin was quite happy that about his jealousy because she felt love, until…

On the bus…

"I can't go home with you this afternoon." Robin muttered.

"Why?"

"I'm shopping with Franky."

"Shopping with Franky? Why not Nami or me?"

"Franky is going to help me with my project of making our own artifacts for us to display on our mini museum."

"What about my sword? It fits to be in a museum."

"I already thought about that, but I knew you wouldn't want your precious sword to stay there forever. You're using it and it's very valuable to you."

"Ahh. Couldn't you just ask Usopp to help you and not Franky?"

"Why? I already asked him to help me and it's very rude to turn him down just because I will ask Usopp instead of him."

"Tch! You just want to be with that Speedo-freak." he mumbled.

"Excuse me? Did you say something?"

"Nothing."

"Are you jealous?"

"Tch!"

"You are jealous."

"I know he had a crush on you."

"So what? I'm not going to have a date with him and he knows that you're my boyfriend."

"He will just show off his muscles the whole time trying to impress you and wear those Speedos of his."

"I don't really care about those."

"You always care about mine, you love it so much. And I know you will love his too."

Robin didn't show she got offended and it was just in time for her to step out of the bus. She didn't want to argue with him so she just bid him goodbye and got off the bus. Zoro just stared at her confused like "What's wrong with her?"

After class…

Robin went shopping with Franky at the supermarket for the supplies of her project. They bought a lot of stuff and he carried it all not letting her carry anything. To thank him for his accompaniment, Robin treated Franky at a restaurant which he gladly accepted.

"May I take your order Ma'am?" the waiter asked.

"I'll just have coffee." she said sweetly.

"Excellent choice, we have the finest coffee here in our restaurant; how about you sir?"

"I'll have this suupeer steak and cola." pointing at a steak dish on the menu.

"Thank you sir, it will be ready for ten minutes."

"Thanks." Then the waiter left them.

"So how are things with you and Zoro?"

"Actually he's—" she saw the green hair of Zoro at the window. "He's very protective; sometimes possessive."

"Really? Good to know that he cares."

"He always get jealous of guys around me."

"Aw! It only means that he loves you. Wait, is he also jealous about us?"

"He's actually watching right now from the window."

"Oi oi, I don't want to cause any trouble."

"It's fine; we're not doing anything wrong."

"Good. Hey can I take a photo of us? I have a project on theology that we need to submit photos of our close friends. You and Zoro are the only one's left that I haven't got any picture yet."

She looked at the window and Zoro was still there. She knew that it will cause trouble later on but she didn't want to turn down his request. "Sure."

"Suupeer!"

He pulled out his camera and asked a waiter to take a photo of them. They posed wacky, serious, poker face, and any other poses.

"Here you go sir. Is it okay if I ask are you two in a relationship?"

"No, no, no, no." Franky shakily said while shaking his head and blushing. "She already have a boyfriend, we're just friends."

"I'm so sorry Mademoiselle."

"It's alright."

After eating, Franky escorted Robin back at her house because it was raining. But she told him that she's going at Zoro's house so he took home their supplies for her project. He escorted her to Zoro's house and agreed that they will make it the next day at Franky's house because he had tools at his apartment that could help them make it. Franky offered his umbrella to her because she didn't have one but she declined it because he will catch a cold if she will take it. She told him that she will borrow one from Zoro or if the rain worsens, she will stay at his house. He agreed and went home. She entered the house and saw Zoro sitting on the couch, waiting for her. She closed the door behind her and sat beside him.

"Can—

"You wanted to ask if you can make your project at Franky's house?"

"No, I wanted to ask if you can—

"I heard it while you were outside talking to him."

"That is true but—

"You can go. I'm sure you will have fun with him. You had fun posing earlier at the restaurant right?"

"He asked a favour if he could have—

"Oh come on, you knew I was there the whole time."

"Can you just let me finish my sentence first before reacting?"

"Why should I? I know you wanted to be alone with that—

"—I was going to ask you if you can come with me and help us on my project. But you won't let me finish, so I guess you don't want to." she said in a loud manner with a blank look on her face. "I'll be going now." She stood up and head home without an umbrella.

"Oi wait!" It's too late she can't hear him anymore or maybe she was just ignoring him. He ran to the door, grabbed an umbrella and looked for her. "Tch! She will catch a cold." He headed to Robin's direction and used the umbrella to keep her from the rain. She ignored him and walked faster instead.

"Damn woman, you'll get sick."

"Good. Maybe I'll die of sickness."

"Tch! You still have the nerve to talk like that."

"Yes. Now stop following me." She called a taxi and went off leaving Zoro in the rain.

In the taxi…

"You argued with your boyfriend?" the driver asked curiously.

"No, we're just having fun." she said sarcastically.

"Teenagers." the driver mumbled.

"Taxi drivers." she mumbled.

When she got home, her mom was not there. She read the note attached to the freezer that said "Honey, I'm going to a five-day trip. I left money in your closet. Take care." She sighed and blended herself some coffee to relax her a little bit. She already forgot that she had to take a bath first. While enjoying her hot coffee, she tried to think why did she ever got pissed on the first place. Zoro was getting on her nerves just because he was jealous about Franky. At first, she was happy because she knew that Zoro loved her so much because he was jealous. But does he have to say such things that could hurt her? She really didn't care of what others think of her but she didn't know that when it came out from the mouth of the person she loves, it really hurts a lot. She snapped out of her thoughts when she sneezed and knew that she will have a cold. Robin finished her coffee and took a shower. After cleaning herself, she called someone and then fell asleep.

Review please! Pretty please? XD
