Chapter 9:
Mikan's POV
I woke up with something heavy on my body. Natsume's arms were wrapped tightly on me. My back was on his front so I really couldn't see his face. I turned around only to find this Adonis in peaceful slumber.
If I'd wake up like this each morning perhaps I won't be able to get out of bed. I traced his perfect face with my finger. From his eyebrows, to his perfectly sculpted nose, to his jaws and to his plum lips.
Those lips that roamed every inch of me last night.
He stirred at my touch and slowly opened his eyes. He smirked.
"Goodmorning babe." He whispered huskily. Oh how his sleepy voice turns me on so much!
"Morning." I kissed his nose. He captured my chin and kissed me in a very romantic way. Everything just feels so right. It's like everything's in place. Like 2 puzzle pieces fit together.
"Some night huh." He snickered. I felt the blush creep on my cheeks.
It was indeed… some night. Scratch that. It was the night.
Oh God. More like the night I've had the best sex ever kind of night.
I punched him playfully by the shoulder.
"I have a question.." He said as he caught my hand started playing with my knuckles.
"What?"
"Have you ever had sex, I mean, after we broke up?"
I glared at him. "Have you?"
"Well… I hooked up with others. But just until 2nd base." He confessed
"Same here." I said as I looked at him
"Now that explains why you're so tight." Natsume said as he smirked
"Now that explains why you're out of practice" I snickered
Suddenly, he grabbed me and positioned himself on top of me. His eyes glinted with lust.
"Out of practice you say?" He licked his top lip
I gulped. "Maybe."
He smirked. "Well honey, who says we're done? C'mon we only had 2 rounds last night."
I gulped some more. Uh-oh I smell trouble…
More like, I like this trouble.
We arrived at his office later that afternoon. We walked through the halls with his arm wrapped tightly along my waist amidst the stares we were getting from his people. Seriously.
"You know everyone's staring" I said as we entered the elevator
"Hn."
"Now you're back with your one syllable replies" I snorted
He smirked at me. We got off on the 23rd floor, which I found out was his very own floor.
"You have your own floor?" I uttered in shock
"What's wrong with that? I like my privacy." He said as we entered a glass door which I presumed, was his office
"Yeah I know. But do you actually need a floor for that?" I muttered
"Whoooaaaaaaaa."
"Told you I'd win!"
"What's the story here?"
Koko, Tsubasa, and Ruka were all lounging on a white couch in Natsume's office.
"What're you guys doing here?" I said as I plopped down on a couch opposite them. Natsume sat beside me.
"Boss called us." Koko said as he munched some chips
"So… how are you two? Aaah. I smell just had sex." Tsubasa snickered. I was waiting for Natsume to get a gun and shoot him but there was none. I looked at him only to find out that he's smirking.
"So you guys back together now, or what?" Ruka asked as he looked at us
"Well-
"She just couldn't resist me." Natsume said as he placed an arm over me. I glared at him.
"Couldn't resist you? What are you a popsicle?" I said as I raised a brow at him
"You seem to treat me like a popsicle last night." He said as he smirked wildly
I blushed. Damn it Hyuuga.
"Whoa there!"
"Now that's what we're talking about!"
"Some things are better than magnum."
I shot daggers at the 3. They need a love life.
Natsume coughed signaling them to shut the hell up.
"We were attacked last night." Natsume started.
"Oh yes you were." Tsubasa said as he gave us a knowing look
"I'll send some flowers for you." Ruka muttered as he saw Natsume pull out a gun and aimed it at Tsubasa
"Kidding!" Tsubasa quickly said as he hid behind Koko.
These guys…
"We were attacked last night and also, Mikan got a threat at the bar." He handed them the note the girl gave me.
"Mikan, do you recognize the girl who gave you this? Perhaps we can have a sketch artist for this." Ruka said as he handed the note over to Koko and Tsubasa
"I think I still kind of remember her." I said
"SRD? What the hell is that?" Tsubasa groaned
"Would I be asking you if I knew?" Natsume growled as he pinched his nose
"I don't get it." I huffed "You told me that you guys are the leading mafia group in NY. No, scratch that, in the US. Why can't you track this, whatever this is, this SRD group right away? I mean, we've been attacked 2 times now."
Koko and Tsubasa looked as if they got my point. Ruka and Natsume however, looked at each other like they were having a silent conversation.
Bromance, you say?
"And,-" I continued "Natsume, shouldn't you have people or whatever gadgets you guys use to guard your own mansion? I mean, things are slipping in your hands."
His face turned like stone. Did I say something wrong?
Finally, he turned to me and gave me a reassuring smile
"Don't stress yourself over this."
"But I want to help." I muttered
"We got this. If you receive any more threats or any other weird things seem to be happening, just ring me." He said as he stood up and went to his desk.
I don't know what's happening but I'm sure as hell that I'm not going to stick here before a bullet enters me.
I stood up.
"I'm gonna go shop." I declared. Natsume looked up from the pile of paper works he was doing
"Take one of them with you." He gestured at the 3
"Will you treat me?" Koko asked
I glared at him "No. Ruka, come with me."
I went out the door with Ruka behind me.
"Aaaaah." I breathed the scent of handbags and leather. We were currently here at Banana Republic to shop away. Whenever I get tensed or stressed or just plain bored, I shop it away.
"Seriously, what is it with girls and shopping?" Ruka chuckled. I glared at him
"It's like you don't know women." I huffed
He chuckled more "No like. Why do you have lots of hand bags, one would suffice."
I stared at him in horror and felt his forehead "Are you sick?"
He looked at me confused.
I sighed. "Why do you have more than 1 boxers?"
He looked at me as if I was insane "For hygienic purposes."
I smiled at him "Exactly."
He looked like he really didn't get what I said, because neither did I get what I said.
I strolled along the displays and scrutinized each. I picked up a light beige one and a darker beige one. I held both to Ruka.
"Which one is prettier?" I asked. His brows furrowed in confusion
"Don't they look the same?"
I scowled at him. "No they do not look the same! One's lighter, the other's darker!"
"O…kay?"
I rolled my eyes at him. Soon, I just decided to grab both.
Soon, we were done shopping. I grabbed my phone as I opened a new message.
I looked at the message and then, looked at it once more. Am I seeing this?
I quickly turned to Ruka who was carrying the paper bags.
"Hey, I need to stop by, do you mind?" I said as I quickly went to the driver's seat. He was still standing outside my window.
"What?"
"I need to stop by somewhere first. You go ahead." I said as I fished for the keys
Ruka looked at me as If he'd seen a ghost.
"Mikan, Natsume will kill me if I let you go by yourself!"
"He won't kill you! I got this. By Rukaa!" I said as I drove off.
I can hear him still screaming by the distance. I took out my phone and composed a text to Natsume:
Hi Babe! I just need to drop by someplace. Don't kill Ruka because I left him. See you later! Love you!
I hit send and turned off my phone. Who knows what sort of stalking tendencies Natsume has.
With that, I drove off to the devil's lair.
