Chapter 8
"How was school dear?" Susan called.
"Good. Umm, is it okay for Usui to come over tonight? We have this thing for chem." I said, desperately hoping she'd say yes.
"You mean Takumi?" she said as she pried her eyes away from the T.V.
"Uh yeah, him. Is it okay?" I asked again.
"Yes sure. No problem. But no funny business okay?" she eyed me intensely.
"Seriously?" I scoffed and walked upstairs.
I tidied everything inside my room. Wouldn't want a guy to think I'm grubby now, would we? I changed into something casual. Just a pair of shorts and a loose shirt.
"Misaki, Takumi's here." Susan called from downstairs. Just in time. I rushed outside and saw him.
"Yo." He said twirling his lollipop.
"C'mon, follow me." As soon as we reached my room, I gathered my notebooks and set them on my desk. I watched Usui as he looked around.
"So this is your room. It's more like an art gallery." He smirked.
"Yeah, okay so let's start analyzing the data on the first part of the—no don't touch that!" I bawled. Usui was looking through my different sketchbooks. I grabbed the one he held. "You can't do that! You're not allowed to do that!"
"Okay, okay. Geez you don't have to scream at me." He held his hands up.
"I-I'm sorry. I just don't like random people touching my stuff without asking."
"I'm not just some random person, Ayuzawa." Usui said. I could sense a hint of hurt in his tone.
"N-no, that's not what I meant! I mean umm… I just—"
"It's fine." He smiled. "I'll ask next time." He walked across the room and sat on the bed. I guess he's back to normal, getting all comfortable in someone else's house.
"Can we start? The sooner we can finish this the sooner I can go to sleep." I barked.
We spent two hours working on the paper and suddenly I felt drowsy. I've been sleeping quite late recently. Well, maybe because I couldn't go to sleep. Someone was invading my head all the time. I took a quick peek at him through my lashes and saw him typing on my laptop with his specs on. He looks like a hot doctor or teacher or something.
"Like what you see?" he said, snapping me out of my trance.
"Huh, what?"
"We won't be able to finish immediately if you keep staring at me you know." He said still calmly typing on the keys.
"I was not staring at you. I was staring at the… painting on my wall. I was thinking of adding something there. And FYI, I finished my part. Here." I gave him the paper I was writing on earlier and got up off the bed. "You want to eat something? Susan's a good cook."
"Yeah, sure." He answered bluntly.
"Hey mom, can you bring us food? No fruits please. Thanks." I shouted.
"Mom?" he snickered.
"I call her mom out of respect Usui." I said hands folded on my chest. I felt sleepiness taking over me and I yawned.
"You can take a break you know. You can sleep or something." He said taking off his glasses. Why was that move such a turn on? I internally slapped myself and casually nodded.
"Okay, 5 minutes but that's it. Wake me up okay? And don't do anything funny." I glared at him.
"Wouldn't dream of it." He grinned like a child.
I shut my eyes and drifted to sleep.
I got tired. I'm sorry, I'll make the next chapter longer.
Please review awesome readers! xoxo
