Chapter 7: Friends a.k.a Nanny

What a tiring day this is, I stretched my arms and saw an ice cream van. I hurriedly went to the van and I chose the chocolate flavor it's so tempting. I can almost drool just by looking at it.

"Yummy!" I exclaimed as I get the ice cream from the cream man.

"This will lessen the problems and pain I am feeling right now." I smiled as I sit to the bench. My head is still aching. Geez that jnjin giving us a surprise quiz look what he have done I got an egg as a score.

Sigh…

Two weeks have passed after the can I be your friend Natsume incident. It actually went well until now I am really glad, he continues on teasing me while I continue on asking him some questions. Thinking of Natsume makes me laugh I didn't know that after all what happened to us we will still be friends. I look around then I notice it was still early actually we had a shortened period because of a sudden meeting of all teachers which end up us being dismissed already. I was alone today 'coz Hotaru went to her mom's office and Ren has a practice for there next competition.

"What will I do now. I still don't want to go home I have nothing to do there." I said to no one then I continue on licking my ice cream when suddenly ..

"Finally found you." A voice close to me said which made me look at that guy

"Nats…." I wasn't able to finish my words when he started dragging me.

"What?" I exclaimed "You drag me all along here, making my ice cream drop which I didn't finished eating which wasted my money, just because you want me to look out for your six year old cousin!" I exclaimed while I glare at the boy who deserves my overreaction

"Come on Polka, it's a favor no one will look after Youichi." He said in a bored voice as he continues on looking at is wastch

"Your rich I'm sure you have maids." I said making him remember that he is rich and rich people have lots of maids

"They're all in vacation." He said and I just look at him as if saying what-are-you-kidding-me-that's-impossible "I want to be alone in the house that's why I asked them to leave didn't expect they'll leave youichi here." He explain and I just look at him

"Why me? Why not you?" I asked then I look at the boy who was just beside Natsume looking at me. I don't hate kids I actually love them but these time it's different what if I did something wrong to this kid and he'll call a police and they'll put me in jail. Geez I'm a stranger to this kid.

"I can't because I have to go somewhere. I chose you because your..hmm…" he stopped and my face suddenly fell I know what he means he has a date with Aya. OUCH. Am I the only one thinking that we are friends 'coz he can't even say it "…..we're friends right? I'm asking you this as a favor." He said in an unsure tone.

"Yeah I told you I want to be you friend not your cousin's nanny. Why can't you just bring him in your date I'm sure she like kids."I said in an I-hate-you tone.

"I can't. Youichi hate Aya and vice versa. Just do it will you no one will do this but you Ruka is unavailable." He said in a commanding voice. Oh I forgot Aya was actually not the girl as I used to know her. According to REn's description to the real Aya she will really hate kids.

SIGH…. I looked at the boy again then I looked at Natsume.

"Go, have fun." With that he ruffled the kid's hair then he just passes by me, he didn't even said thanks to me. Suddenly a silent era was now happening the kid and I just stayed still in our position which made the situation much more awkward. I have to say something.

"Hi, I'm Mikan Sakura, and I'll be your nanny today." I gave him a big smile assuring him that I'm not bad and I don't bite. I looked at him waiting for his response but he continue on looking at me as if I was a puzzle

"Are you like that stupid girl, ugly?" the little boy whose named as Youichi said.

"Whose stupid girl? And ugly?" I ask then he sighs

"Stupid girl is Natsume's girlfriend Aya while ugly is Mikan Sakura."he said seriously. He is cute.

"Hey don't call them like that they have names. That's ba—" I stop wait something's wrong "Hey I am MIKAN SAKURA. You little. I'm not that ugly am I?" I asked the five year old boy who was smirking. He really is Natsume's cousin

"Stupid. Your looks are tolerable." This kid really is unbelievable how can he say words like that in his age. AMAZING. I pouted to him as he went near me then holds my hand which made me smile.

"Let's play." He said and I tighten my hold in his hand as I let him lead me to the place we are going to play.

It was now almost evening and I am really exhausted, playing with a kid really is tiring. I looked at the boy who was now resting as he watched which made his face a little bit annoyed.

"Youichi what do you want to eat?" I was in the kitchen looking at the refrigerator of the Hyuuga's made me dizzy. There are so many.

"Apple." I heard him reply. Just an apple of all the possible delicious food he can eat just an apple. I get an apple and close the door. I washed it first then went to the boy, as I give him the apple.

"Youichi where is your parents?" I asked as I sit beside him

"Don't know. Don't care." Geez have a little bit attitude problem just like his cousin

"are you close to NAtsume?" I again asked I want to more about him.

"Yes, very much." He said then bite the apple.

"Then why do you hate Aya? Your cousin loves her very much." I asked again curious while he changed the channel really annoyed to

" 'coz she's fake and doesn't deserve Natsume." He again said

"Can't you at least call Natsume in a respectful way you talk as if you're in the same age?" I said as he looked at him "well I guess your cousin just like her so much." I said again looking at the T.V

"Natsume doesn't love her that much." Youichi said which made me look at him, I want to ask what does that mean but I guess I already ask too many question.

"Do you know how to bake a cake? Ugly." He said which made me pout.

"Yes, little brat." Then he smirk

"can we bake? I want to experience it." I looked at him and he was kinda excited

"Sure. let's start" I said then we went to the kitchen

It was now past six as Youichi and I was still starting baking, we had wasted so much time just by finding the different tools and ingredients needed in baking.

"Okay first you have to measure the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, and the other things that needs to be measured so the cake will taste better."I explain to him, while he just look at me do things, he just watched me and some times assist me with little chores because of course he is still a five year old boy.

"What're you doing" a voice said from the kitchen door which made Youichi and I looked at the person

"NAtsume!" Youichi shouted excitedly as he run then jump to Natsume which he caught in time. "We're baking." He said as they walk to me

"Baking?. Do you even now how to bake polka?" he looked at me in a disbelieving eye which made me raise my eyebrow

"Of course I do. I'm good at this." I said then I saw Natsume put Youichi down on the counter and he went to my side.

"I'll help."he said trying to hide the excitement in his voice.

"Okay. Is this also your first time to bake?" I asked and I saw him nod, so that's why they're excited . I gave them a big smile

"Geez you two both rich yet don't know how to bake." I said grinning at them wherein they just both rolled there eyes

"Don't be to pr-" he started but I just gave him the measuring cups and the flour "What will I do with this?" he asked looking at the things I gave him

"Duh. Measure it. Look at the instructions on how many flour you need just follow the instructions so no problems will happen" I said in a commanding voice while I went to Youichi

"You little guy mix this, this is the icing to be put in the cake just mix it and never stop mixing it, so that air will not go inside it, okay?" I gave to him the bowl containing the icing and a mixer.

"What are you waiting for lousy guys, GO do your job."I said looking at the two who was looking as if they don't know the world. 15 minutes have passed and I checked on the two

"NAtsume mix it properly so that the sugar would be not just be in one place." I ordered him then he just glare at him which made me laugh nervously, and went to Youichi

"Youichi, don't taste it all the time. Have you even wash your hands?" I said. Oh gosh I look like their mother.

"Mommy Mikan." I heard youichi said as he smiled at me.

"I'm Nanny Mikan not mommy Mikan." I corrected him as I look at him seriously

"Mommy Mikan." He again repeated.

"Youi-" I was about to say when NAtsume stop.

"Hag just let him be, he never felt calling someone as a mother. His parents was always in abroad so just let him have pity." NAtsume said and I look at Youichi he was smiling.I sigh

"Okay call me mommy but if you're true mommy was back stop calling me like that okay." I said then he just nod "back to work." Then I walked to the stove checking the melted chocolate. I mix it when suddenly I felt someone beside me

"What?" I asked Natsume.

"Just checking if what you're doing was right." He said as he looked over the melted chocolate I was mixing

"Of course I'm doing ri-" Suddenly he put his finger on my mouth, then I tasted it,it was the icing

"Geez, what was that for. I told you stop tasting it all the time" I told him but he just put out his tongue on me.

"Daddy Natsume." We heard a little voice said that we both stopped then slowly we both looked back at Youichi

When we look back at Youichi I saw him grinning at us "Mommy Mikan and Daddy NAtsume." He said which made me blush. Oh shit what was this kid saying does he know that I like Natsume that's why he is teasing me by this, I looked at Natsume and I swear he is not in a good mood. Of course he is in a bad mood first his cousin who is close to baby brother doesn't like his girlfriend but he likes a stranger like me. . I can feel it he doesn't like it.

"Okay I think we can already put this in the oven, so that we can finish this thing. Right guys?" I snap out trying to change the mood. I went to the oven and put our undone cake inside it. "Okay we just have to wait. And I think it's better if I first get some fresh air. It's kinda hot here, don't you think." I said to them but it seems like I was talking to no one. So I just decided to leave them and went outside. The truth is I don't feel hot it's just that I need an excuse to be outside; this day was becoming very, very, very unexplainable, I wish I had just go home than to experience this things. I can feel my heart feel pain knowing that Natsume hate that thought of me being his wife but in contrary I kinda like it. Am I that addict to him? It's hurts just thinking his angry expression earlier, he hates it, he still hates me, he still can't accept me.

SIGH…..

"Are you finish thinking?" someone ask I don't have to look who it is that voice was very familiar to me.

"I'm sorry." I said though don't know why I have to say sorry when I didn't do anything wrong.

"there's no reason for you to say sorry." He said but I didn't reply anything to him then I heard him sigh "About earlier, I already talk to Youichi and he wants us to play as his parents. Since he never experienced having one, so just for today would you please act with me." He finished then he sigh again

"Ahmm…." I started but I really don't know what to say

"Can you just agree to that plan?" he stop then look at me, while I looked at him like saying IMPOSSIBLE "Don't get me wrong. Youichi is very important to me I like him to be happy, and if this makes him happy I'll do it for him." I was speechless, I am really lost. Don't they know I might like this idea and get my hopes up that someday this will be true? But ….But if it's for that kid I'll do it. Just because I have also grown to like that kid I'll do it.

"Just for today, okay?" I said which Natsume just nod.

As we wait for the cake we first watch a movie which was I really ended up by humiliating myself by screaming and holding to both guys' hands. We watch the movie the grudge which we didn't finish 'coz they feel sympathy for me and the cake is already cook and we already have to design it.

"Youichi put some more chocolate in this part."I said to Youichi who was enjoying designing the cake. Natsume was also designing it while I just look at the two of them, they are happy just by this simple doing they felt happy. I don't blame them baking makes me happy too.

"Natsume may I borrow your phone?" I ask and Natsume look at me curiously. "Don't worry I'll not read your messages." I said then he just rolled his eyes and get it to his pocket and gave it to me, then continue on his previous work. Where is it, I scan his touch screen phone, and saw something I hope didn't see, it was there photo kissing each other, I can see it just by looking at this picture, I can feel and see they really love each other. Again, I saw another picture and I can say It's a masterpiece. This picture was makes me hundreds, thousands, millions, billions jealous to Aya. They were in paradise they are flowers, birds and the glowing light of the sun and they were outside in a small house and Natsume was holding Aya's waist his head resting on Aya's shoulder while Aya's hands was holding Natsume's hands in her waist while the other hand ws on Natsume's face and on the house they were some kind of banner saying

"Forever. Aya and Natsume."

My heart again felt a sudden pain and suddenly I remember I was his friend I should be happy that they were thinking that they would last forever I should be happy for them, for him. I looked at the both guys and I can feel they are enjoying it. Seeing them like that makes me smile.

"Hey guys, smile." I said as I took a picture of them using Natsume's phone

"Mommy wants a picture of Daddy." Youichi said as I look at the picture, I surprise them it was almost called stolen shot but why does it look like they prepared for this picture. It's so unfair.

"What're you doing?" NAtsume ask, his eyebrows raised.

"You've got to have something to keep to make you remember of your happy times in the past." I explain as I took of a picture of youichi decorating the cake

"What?" Natsume ask

"You don't always do this things right? So you'll miss these times, so you need something to look at and make you remember it, and just by looking at those pictures bring you back to those happy moments and it will make you feel good." I said then took a picture of the almost finished cake.

"No need for that, idiot." He said as he looked at the take then I took a picture of him.

"Of course you do. If your sad just look at these picture and it will make you smile. When you are in happy times you should always take a picture as a souvenir before you go on, so when your in dark times come just look at it and say 'See, this dark times was nothing I have more time enjoying than being sad.'" I smiled at him and he just rolled his eyes as if saying weirdo.

"Come on closer, you two I'll take you a picture." I said and Youichi follow what I say and he gets closer to NAtsume and they both raised the cake and they noth hold still while I took the picture.

Snap.

Snap.

Snap.

Snap.

I have get many pictures of them. I wish they could remember me in this times.

"Mommy, Daddy I'll take a picture of you." Youichi said and I just shook my head

"no ne-." No need I was about to say that but Youichi pull me closer to Natsume which made us closer together. At first we both looked into each others eyes but after that I just broke the eye contact

"Mommy closer to daddy, Daddy closer." Youichi ordered with a grin in his eyes, even before Youichi could click the capture button Natsume put his hands on my shoulders, which made me shocked

"Natsu-" I started but he just look into my eyes and I tried finding the reason why he did that but his eyes was so deep I can't find anything. It's so mysterious and I just can't get him. But I guess he just did that just to make Youichi happy, I looked down feeling the pain in my heart but after that a hand cupped my chin and I was again locked to Natsume's eyes.

"Natsume." I said, for it was the only thing I could say

"Thank you." He started then stop "Because you're my friend and you help me a lot I'll tell you something I don't tell to others." He said which made me raise my brow he went to my ear and say the word that my heart suddenly stop "Your beautiful." what the hell was happening was this part of the plan? How could he act so good? I almost believe it. Natsume Hyuuga you really are mysterious.

Guys hope you enjoy…
