I died while writing this.. although, of course, I survived.. lol (does that even make sense?)

Quite a short chapter with many skips *sigh*.. btw, this will only have more or less ten chapters.. short, I know.. I can make it longer, if you want, but that would only mean fillers (although it will add romance, of course)..


The Love Note

Chapter 7: Finding Heaven

I turned and turned in bed, my mind restless. I was cursing silently, thinking of how stupid I've been. I said yes to Anima!!! I blushed at the thought, but that just made me angrier at myself. I feel like a traitor… to Natsume. I mean, logically, I double-timed him. Well, that's logically. But hell, he forced me to become his girlfriend! Although, that doesn't change the fact that I AM his girlfriend. Since I agreed to go out with Anima, does that make me a bitch? Slut? Whore? Of course not, since I'm still a virgin. That is, if Natsume really did nothing to me the other night.

I gently touched the hickey on my neck. I hissed in pain. It's still there, huh? I sighed and contemplated. I guess I have to break up with Anima? It was just a spur of the moment, anyway. I can't actually pay Natsume one million, you know. Even for a millionaire, I think that's still a big sum of money. What does Natsume think anyway? For crying out loud, I don't poop out money!

In the end, I made up my mind to break up with Anima.


Well, that was the plan.. until the moment I left my home and found a black car waiting outside my house. The window slowly went down, revealing Anima inside.

"Let me drive you to school," he warmly said. I refused, but he threw the punch line and I was left with no excuse. "Mikan, let me. I'm your boyfriend, remember?"

He invited me to go out with him after school. He said he'll fetch me. Truthfully, I wasn't able to do anything but agree. Well, I did my best. In between our conversation, I tried to tell him to forget what I said last night, but his excited face stopped me. What if he actually hates me and kicks me out of the car?

I nervously waved goodbye as I got off the car. He smiled and closed the door. The car drove away and I sighed. I shuddered. Glared shot at my back and I swear I heard some girls mutter ways on how to kill me.

Natsume met me while I was walking to my classroom. "Who is he?"

I ignored his question and kept walking. Noticing my behavior, Natsume simply walked ahead of my and whispered, "Oh well, it's not like you'll actually cheat on me.." He glared. "..will you?"

I grinned, annoyed by what he said, "Of course, darling."

I angrily stopped away, leaving him behind. What's with him? Acting all high and mighty? I might have agreed to be his girlfriend but that doesn't mean he can just order me around. Why am I so pissed off today anyways?

The day went by in a rush. I tried to focus on the lessons and not on what I'm going to face after school. But really, what am I going to do after breaking up with Anima? Continue being Natsume's plaything for the rest of my life? That's just ridiculous!

I sighed when the bell rang. I grabbed my things and left the classroom, not really in a hurry. I'm not the type who'd happily slit her throat. If I were to describe my speed, I'd be as slow as a turtle. I frowned and accelerated, with the goal to get it finished as fast as I could.

When I reached the gate, Anima was already there. His smile was so sweet that if it were a bit sweeter, there would be ants around him already. I approached him and I automatically knew the whole school was watching us. God, they're die-hard!!!

"Shall we go?" he asked.

I opened my mouth to speak but somebody cut me off. "And where are you taking my girlfriend?" I sighed, recognizing that the voice belonged to Natsume. Within a few seconds, he was already beside me.

"Your girlfriend?" Anima asked, his smile fading. "She's my girlfriend."

"Ah, but you see, she has a debt to me. Unless you're willing to pay it off, you're not free to take her," Natsume replied with a sly smile.

"How much?" Anima asked.

"Just a billion," was the reply. I slapped my forehead. And he actually dared to multiply it by a thousand!!


I'm currently at Natsume's house. Not that I wanted to, I was forced.

"Did you see his face?" Natsume mockingly asked as he laughed aloud.

"You're such a bastard!" I exclaimed, but I couldn't help but laugh as well. To Anima, I'm so sorry to laugh at you like this. After hearing the amount, Anima bit his bottom lip and left. Maybe he's not the one after all. Maybe I only see him as an older brother.

"Do you know why I raised the amount?" Natsume asked.

I shrugged. "You wanted him to leave?"

"No," he replied. "He wasn't asking how much your debt was. He was asking how much you were. I saw it that way so I raised it."

I blushed. "So, you think I'm worth a billion?"

He stopped smiling then looked away. "Of course not."

"You don't have to deny it," I confidently replied. I walked towards the sofa, planning to sit beside him, when a wire lying around suddenly tripped me. "KYAAAA!"

"HEY!"

I fell down. "Ugh," I muttered. I opened my eyes and blushed when I found out that I fell on Natsume. He was looking down at me, his hands on my waist.

I closed my eyes. My mind wasn't working well, and my body was on heat. I felt his lips claim mine and I felt like I've found heaven.
