VII

"That was a seriously weird dream" she thought as she got out of bed with a red face. "I mean seriously. I can't be this attracted to him already" She walked to her window, opened it and felt the early morning breeze in her face, allowing her to erase that inappropriate dream from her head.

~~~o~~~o~~~o~~~

L was surprised with how quiet Misa is as they ate. He preferred the silence but it was new to him. He had an idea as to why she is acting like that though.

"Were you able to call your grandmother?" he said but her head seemed to be up in the clouds. He didn't repeat his question and continued eating. Breakfast ended quietly and without any eye contact.

It was the same with lunch and after that she just went back to her room quietly. L just didn't mind her and continued his digging up on the new case he just took.

~~~o~~~o~~~o~~~

There was a soft knock on her door and Watari entered and placed down a tray with dinner on it. Watari told her that they thought she was asleep and didn't bothered to call her down for dinner and so he took the liberty of bringing it up to her. Misa thanked him and said sorry for all the bother she's caused Watari. He just bowed and smiled in reply then left.

"This is so unlike me. I don't shy away like this from guys. Urgh!" she said as she paced back and forth in her room. "I'm being too obvious! He probably thinks I have the hots for him now!"

After 5 more minutes of pacing back and forth in her room, she finally settled down and ate. Dinner was great and the tea that Watari makes is just the best. She then thought off going down to place her dish in the sink, since she can't let the old man do the cleaning for her. She quietly made her way to the kitchen and washed the things she used.

Walking dreamily on her way back to her room, she bumped into L in the dimly lit hallway. Her head was on his chest, so as her hands and with her body this close to him she felt like she was going to faint.

"Oops…sorry" she managed to say awkwardly as she removed her hands of his chest and clumsily took a step back quickly, making her lose her balance. The only sound she managed to make was a gasp. Luckily he moved quicker than he looks and he was able to catch her by her hand, pulling her quickly to him.

"You should watch your step." He said as he gently let go of her and started to walk away. When he was no longer in view, Misa dropped on her knees and sighed. "Misa!" she scolded herself as she slowly got up and entered her room.

~~~o~~~o~~~o~~~

The next day she returned to her chatty self and was bouncing around the house. Today she thought of covering up that weird feeling she was getting with her bubbly self. She told him things about her home and how her granny actually forgot about her being on the country still in breakfast, talked about random things she liked at lunch and the random people and places she's been to at dinner.

L just listened to her blabbering, irritating him at some point. "Yesterday she's suspiciously quiet and now she's all chatty. I don't get it."

She didn't mind him not answering or commenting on her stories but at least for her that kills the awkwardness she felt around him.

After dinner, she was about to go back to her room when she spotted L going out the kitchen door to the back yard. She told herself not to bother him, but she ended up doing so anyway.

"Hey! What are you doing?" She said patting L lightly in the shoulder. "He's always slouched like that, it won't be good for him" she thought as she stood next to him near the willow tree.

"L! You're not answering again!" she demanded with a pout. She waited for a reaction or reply but nothing came. "Why are you out here anyway? Looking for falling stars?"

"If stars starts falling from the sky we'd all be dead" he replied.

"Huh? Why is that?" she asked. He didn't say anything. After a while she realized what he meant. "Oh I get it now Mr. Smart pants! Ok, you can laugh at me now! I knew that those falling things aren't stars, FYI!" she exclaimed.

"Misa, you've been calling me L since you started telling me stories this morning." he said glancing at her. Misa froze. With his almost emotionless tone and face she can barely figure out if he was angry or cool with it.

"Oh…. Well… I heard Watari calling you by it so…I guess it stuck on my head" Misa said with a giggle.

"So you were thinking that much about me" he said ever so casually. Misa turned bright pink.

"Of course not! Who do you think you are for me to spend time thinking about you!?" Misa defended. Not another word came from him and then he started making his way to the house.

"You're so good at walking away!" Misa said getting pissed off with his habit of just leaving. She caught up to him and tugged his shirt.

For a moment L remembered the time when she first went after him, 10 years ago. He turned to look at her. At his gaze she froze.

"I guess I owe you nothing now that you know my name" he said. She just looked at him. She was starting to get lost in those dark eyes of his. "He looks wonderful under the night light" she thought feeling her cheeks get warm, she must be blushing madly. She was having the urge to touch his lips. She remembered that he was actually her first kiss and after the image of that passed through her mind she let go off him and run inside the house.

He watched her go and then he slowly placed a finger over his lips, tracing them. He too remembered that kiss. They were young then but that was also his first kiss.

~~~o~~~o~~~o~~~

She was trying to get a rest but her mind won't let her. She was having crazy thoughts, a good kind of crazy nonetheless. Thinking of him made her forget of the bad experience she had with that maniac. It was like therapy for her.

She thought of his lips. She kept on wondering how they'd feel and taste. Taste, his lips would probably be sweet with all those sweet stuff he's always munching on. She giggled with the thought of it.

She knew how a kiss would feel like, of course, she has kissed a couple of boys already but she wonders how he'd do it. Would he be gentle? Teasing? Wet? Or maybe he is a rough but passionate kisser. She bit her lower lip at the thought of kissing him.

Her mind then traveled to his lean body. She really preferred men with abs but his slender frame is not that bad, it's like with those sexy rock stars girls drop their panties to. She then imagined snuggling with him in his bed, wrapped around his arms. She thought of how nice it would be to rest her head on his chest and hear the beating of his heart.

The thought of him was making her ecstatic and somehow it has excited her already raging hormones. She can't deny her attraction to him anymore but she doesn't have the slightest clue if he's feeling anything for her. Probably not, but she doesn't care. Most boys around her have a crush on her or would easily fall for her anyway. She knew that she was pretty and has a nice body. She's also fun to be with so she can't think of a reason why he won't like her. "I do talk a lot and he seems to be the silent type" she thought with a sigh but then she told herself that opposites attract anyway.

She closed her eyes and muttered his name under her breath. It was like candy on her mouth. That dream she had the other night flashed in her head. He was kissing her lips, then he would plant kisses on her neck, lightly biting and sucking on its base leaving a mark. He would then touch her in places, making her moan his name and catch her breath and then right before she wakes up, she would see them naked together.

She blushed at the thought of the dream and felt her lower regions getting wet. She was getting really aroused at the thought of him. As much as it disgusted her, she actually did try touching herself before. Her friends did it and they said it was natural, so she tried to do so. She was getting the urge to do so now. She gently rubbed her legs against each other, sending an electric sensation to her womanhood. After a while of doing so, she realized that it won't satisfy her and so she slowly lifted her skirt, running her fingers along her leg, making her shiver.

Closing her eyes she slowly ran her fingers in her thighs and slowly parted her legs. She inserted her hand in her underwear, feeling how wet she was down there. She then pulled her undies off and threw it on the floor on the other side of the bed. For a moment she thought that she isn't going through with it but the need was strong and she has to do something about it. "I sure am pretty horny for someone who haven't actually done the deed yet.." she thought as she rubbed her finger over her folds.

Her other hand reached for her left breast and started lightly squeezing it and then did the same with the other. She felt her nipples hardened under her touch. Her other hand was now busy with teasing her button down there. That was a weak spot for her, she always climax with just rubbing her clits, and it always felt so good. She started giving out weak and muffled moans. Her fingers are drenched with her juices. She kept on rubbing on her spot and let her other fingers slide down her folds. Her hand which fondled her breast, now grabs on to the sheet as she felt climax coming closer. Just when she thought she would, she hear someone stop in her door, hold the door knob and opened it.

Her room was dark except for the two lights on the wall making it easier to hide her current disheveled state. Luckily enough before the door opened completely she quickly stopped what she was doing, sat up and wiped her wet fingers on the sheet. She tried acting like she was just sitting there, in deep thought.

The subject of her fantasy just walked in her room, like he did before.

"What do you want?" she managed to choke out. She actually feels mortified having to see him after touching herself while thinking about him. "This is so awkward! I hope he doesn't come closer." She thought but it was as if he knew what she was thinking and was acting against it.

"Shit my undies! It's on the floor, on the other side of the bed. If he comes closer he might see!" she panicked in her head but tried her best to play it cool.

He stopped a couple of steps in front of her. "Hhhmmm…. She's nervous, what's wrong? Looks like she's hiding something" he thought

"I guess you must have forgotten to return my phone" he said extending a hand with an open palm to her.

Her wild side just placed a picture of her taking his hand to her lips, start kissing it and licks it. She pushed the thought away by giggling unnaturally. She also mentally scolded herself.

"Oh! The phone….Well… yeah the phone" she absent mindedly mumbled.

"Misa, is something wrong?" he inquired with a curious look in his eyes.

"No! Nothing at all….Now let's see…. Where did I place that phone?" she said looking around her bed, where some of her clothes from her luggage was scattered. Scolding herself for not fixing it earlier.

To her surprise L went closer to the bed and started picking up some clothes, checking under them.

"Hey! No touchy! I'll find it, don't worry. It's just here somewhere…" she said and before she can say anything further, he has already rested his knee on the bed and started moving her clothes here and there.

"Hey stop!" she exclaimed.

"I'm just trying to help you find it under all your clothes." He said in his usual tone.

"L! You're not helping!" she thought as she started to feel that uneasy feeling crawl back to her system. "You're on my bed and just inches away from me and might see my undies on the other side…."

He was about to look into the other side of the bed but before he does Misa pulled him to her. Her intention was to keep him from seeing her underwear which was covered with her juices but instead she caused him to lean to her. Their faces were just a couple of inches away from each other and his hand rested on her soft mounds.

Misa swallowed hard as she looked at him. His lips, which were gaped a bit, looked so inviting. She realized that she can no longer hold back and she kissed him. He didn't respond at first and she can feel his surprise with his tense arms and his closed lips but to her surprise after a while he responded to her kiss and slipped a tongue in her mouth.

With all the mixed emotions she was feeling at the moment, she felt her mind go blank and just savored every second of the kiss.
