I have given myself the challenge of updating five chapters in 5 days, also the chapters have to be more then 2000 words long. Once I have done this, I will spend more time on chapters and hopefully the chapters will get better. Also, I have decided to thank everyone for reviewing every five chapters. I don't know if you noticed, it reviews that make me write, so please R&R! I would also ask that you, if you can, share any ideas you have. I want to write a story that is good, but I need your help! Thank you SO much for reading!
Me: Hello? Is anyone here?
John: Hey Danielle
Me: John! (Runs over and hugs)
John: Can't... breath!
Mai: You will get use to it
Naru left the building, anger welling up inside him. Then he remembered Mai. He was going to see her today, after her trip. He then felt confessed. He and Mai hadn't said it, but they were together. Was it cheating if he was kissed? He wanted to tell her. She deserved to know and it would clear Naru conscience. But on the other hand, it would most likely hurt Mai. Also there was a chance, if he didn't tell her, Linda would somehow. He decided he had to. After his plans for their... date? Maybe he would tell her before, then he can fix it. If he does tell her before, she might not go with him, but if he leaves it till last then she will go to her hotel, feeling hurt and he wouldn't be able to do anything. He would just see how things went.
With Mai
She had just gotten back from her trip. She would see Naru later. She decided, while blushing, if they end up kissing again, she would want to brush her teeth. The went to the bath room. She had just brushed and was about to use the mouth wash she brought. While opening it, she ended up dropping it on the floor. Mai cleaned the floor and placed the, now empty bottle, in the bin. She went to the side pocket in her bag. She placed all of her spares in there. While pulling out the bottle, a white envelope fell out. She opened it and loads on twenty pound notes fell out. Mai's eyes widened and her mouth dropped open. She saw there was also a letter.
Dear Mai
Myself, John, Masako, Bon-san and Yasu have chipped in to give you a little extra spending money. First of all, we will NOT take it back! We would like you to spend it on yourself and have fun! We think, since you have done so much for us, that it's the lease we can do! We would like to know how you are doing but since the times are very different, it might be hard to call! Send us an email to tell us how you are! We all love you Mai!
Love Ayako
Mai finished reading and had to suppress a tear. If she was going to be able to take the money, it would go towards gifts for everyone. She needs to get something that you can't get in Japan. Mai decided to give it more thought at a later date. For now, she had to get ready.
Half an hour later, Mai had changed into a gray dress with black flowers all other it. The dress was a silky, light material. She also paired it with a black shoulder bag and a pair of black shoe's with a small, thick heal. She knew it would, most likely, go with what ever clothes, black trousers, shirt and coat, he wore. Mai was meeting Naru down the road. Naru had told her where to meet after class.
Mai set off down the road to the meeting place. She wasn't there long before a boy approached her.
"Hey, you lost?" Asked the boy, in English, as he approached, getting way too close for Mai's liking.
"No, I'm fine" Mai answered politely, hoping the boy would get the message and leave her alone. It wasn't busy and there was no traffic. No one would hear their conversation.
"You sure. Who would leave a girl like you alone?" The boy asked. Walking so close, Mai had to step back. He looked down at Mai, as if expecting her. He then grabbed her arm.
"L-let go of me!" Mai was trying her best to stay brave, but she was scared and it was showing. The boy only gave her a grin, so cold and lustful it make Mai want to cry.
"Come on! Your being no fun!" The boy didn't let go of her. Mai kicked him and he pushed her to the ground as punishment.
"Mai!" Someone yelled, while running towards her. The boy turned, at first grinning, then when he got a good look at him. The boy, in truth, was terrified.
"Lin!" Mai yelled. The boy made a break for it, untill Lin grabbed him by the front of his shirt and pushed him against a near by wall.
"What have you got to say for yourself?" Lin asked in a dangerously angry tone.
"Wha- What are you going to do?" The boy asked frantically.
"Make sure you go, and go now!" Lin said calmly, which only made him more scary. Lin let the boy go and he race-walked away. Lin then turned to Mai.
"You ok Mai?" Lin asked, while helping her up. Mai stood and brushed some of the dust from the street, off her dress. Mai smiled at him.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you Lin. Not that I'm not grateful, why are you here, Lin?" Mai asked in a gentle but weak voice.
"Naru was in a meeting about the paper, with a Mrs Tow. She was the one who published it. Naru was in a very bad mood after coming out, for whatever reason. He went home to get ready and talk to Luella about something. He asked me to take you to the Davis house" Lin explained. That was probably the most he has ever said.
"Does Naru not want me to come round? If it's a bad time or something" Mai asked weakly. She did not like say that. She wanted to see Naru, but she didn't want to make him see her.
"He told me, after he made me promise me not to tell anyone, that you would make him cheer up" Lin was speaking the truth... kinda. Naru had muttered, when he thought no one could hear, that Mai was the only one who could cheer him up. Lin was properly not ment to know that.
"Um, ok. I wont tell him you said so" Mai said blushing slightly. This way Mai wouldn't tell Naru. Then Mai and Lin got into Lin's car and went to the Davis house.
At the Davis house, Naru smarter than normal. He was wearing a black, long sleeve shirt, black trousers and he held his black coat in his hand. Madoka and Luella were annoying Naru when Mai arrived.
"But Noll, you look so cute! One picture, just one!" Madoka pleaded, with Luella's help.
"No" Naru sighed. Then there was a knock on the door. Naru was going to get it but Madoka beat him to it. Madoka gasped.
"Mai, you look so cute! Come in!" Madoka said going behind her and practically pushing her through the door. When Naru saw Mai, he was thinking the same thing.
"Noll! One picture with you and Mai! Please!" Luella begged. Mai smiled, then looked at Naru as if asking his approval. Naru rolled his eyes.
"Fine" he sighed. Mai ran over to him and stood in front and to the side. Madoka took the picture but Naru didn't smile. He didn't frown so it was one of the happier pictures they had of him.
"Now Mai, do a sexy pose!" Madoka suggested loudly, at that moment Lin walked in. He shook his head and walked away. Mai was blushing brightly and even Naru looked like he was suppressing a blush. Madoka fell into hysterics.
"Calm down. I was only kidding! You should see your faces!" Then Madoka had an idea. She took a picture "See, I'll show you!"
"Come on Mai. We should go" Naru suggested and Mai agreed all the eagerly. They said their good byes and left the Davis house.
"So Naru. Where are we going?" Mai asked, she and Naru were in his car and Naru still hasn't told her where she was going.
"To a restaurant" Naru answered shortly, but still gently.
"Oh, um, ok" Mai said blushing. Was this a date?
"Mai, are you ok? You seemed a little shaken back at the house" Naru asked, concerned. Of course Naru would notice.
"Yeah, I had a little run in with someone. Some boy grabbed arm. I asked him to leave me alone, but he didn't untill Lin stopped him, it's nothing" Mai thought is she sounded like it was no big deal, then Naru might except him. She would never lie to him after all. Naru, however, made a note to question Lin about it. Then the car stopped. They had made it to the car park.
"Mai? If I tell you something, you can't freak out" Naru told her. He didn't want her screaming in a fancy restaurant.
"Ok" Mai answered slowly. Naru took a deep breath.
"The meeting with Mrs Tow, ended very badly. I was about to leave when she..." He started, looking at Mai's big eyes made it harder.
"You can tell me Naru" Mai said softly. She could tell she wasn't going to like it.
"She kissed me" Naru spat. He looked at Mai. She looked like she was about to scream, cry or maybe punch something.
"What did you do?" Mai asked as calmly as she could manage. It was still a little hurt though.
"Pushed her away and left. I felt I had to tell you, even though I didn't want to" Naru explained, looking down slightly.
"I'm not angry at you Naru, it wasn't your fault. I- I love you Naru" Mai confessed. Naru looked a little shocked.
"I love you too, Mai" Naru said leaning over and pushing his lips on Mai's. Mai kissed back and pulled Naru close to her. Naru tilted his head to the side a little and skillfully deepened the kiss. Mai parted her lips slightly, and Naru took the invite. Naru pulled back a few seconds later. He smiled as Mai blushed. They got out the car and walked in the restaurant. The restaurant was really fancy but somewhere people wouldn't go unless it was a special occasion.
"Naru? It this, um, a date?" Mai asked shyly. Naru looked at her blush.
"I guess you could call it that" Naru answered, pretending it wasn't a big deal, even though it took him about two hours to get seats and make sure the night would be perfect. They walked to the little table were the man who lead people to the tables was standing.
"Table for two sir? Do you have a reservation?" The man asked in English. He sounded really posh, and he didn't even smile. He almost reminded them of a butler they would see in films and movies.
"Yes, and the reservation is under Davis" Naru answered. Mai was still busy looking about. The tables were full and it seamed very loud. The butler- I mean the waiter, lead then round a corner to a less crowded section of the restaurant. They took their seats and were given menus.
"Naru? What are we?" Mai asked shyly. Naru looked at Mai's blushing form.
"What do you mean Mai?" Naru asked dumbly, tilting his head to the side. He smirked as Mai blushed more.
"Stop teasing, you know what I mean" Mai said weakly. Naru nearly chuckled. Mai was so cute sometimes.
"Well, I guess we are dating" Naru answered as if it wasn't a big deal. Mai gasped and when Naru looked at, she was blushing more but also smiling shyly. She nodded.
"What happens when I go back to Japan?" Mai asked. Naru spent hours wondering.
"I'm not sure yet...
