Misaki was having a peaceful dream that day, so much so that she had drooled all over Usui's pillow. She hadn't been well rested like this in 3 months, stress had been a constant obstacle in her life, day and night.

She never went to the spa or treated herself, which left her body aching and tense. But today, she had let go and relaxed her mind, heart and body. However, Unlike every other morning, Misaki felt a strange pressure fall on her stomach. She was slowly becoming conscious and awake, her vision was still blurry. She saw what looked to be a head on her stomach, it looked fuzzy and yellow. The hair was golden and messy, much like of the man that she once loved.

Misaki thought this was a dream , that what she truly wanted was in front of her all along, Usui. She gently patted, and combed his hair with her fingers, and felt the soft, yet spiky hair that reminded her of Usui.

It didn't take long to realize, because after she touched the spikes she knew this wasn't a dream. He was sleeping on her belly. Misaki's immediate response was to push him off of her body. Misaki took a good look at his face, and saw the tiredness under his eyes. His skin still looked flawless, but Misaki could tell he was dehydrated. Misaki quickly took the man and laid him in bed. She tucked him in and looked at the clock.

"Oh my god it's already 9:00? Just how tired is he?" Not even realizing that she too had slept in several hours too many. She looked at the nightstand, and found what had been cold porridge, and cold tea. "He must have made this for me last night.." Misaki left the bedroom and went into the kitchen. She reheated her breakfast and ate it solemnly. After she had finished, she made Usui some toast, fruits and veggies with coffee.

She murmured to herself " Simple breakfast, but hopefully he will enjoy it, oh and some vitamins and water would be good." She still cared about him, even though he left her without a word. Misaki delivered the breakfast tray, to his bedroom. She left it on the nightstand, and slowly crept up to Usui's sleeping figure. She was so happy that she had finally seen him again… but he didn't even look well. "Jerk… if he was going to leave me like that he should have at least taken care of his stupid self. On top of that he got engaged!"

She suspiciously examined his body, and proceeded to take his left arm out of bed. She looked at his slender, but manly hands and saw that there was no engagement ring on it. "But there was one clearly on the video?" She took his other arm and looked at it, only to discover there was no ring. Misaki searched his pockets, and his body by patting him.

Usui had awakened from all of the movement, and peeked through one of his eyes. He saw Misaki searching for something, and touching his body all around. "She must be looking for that ring." he thought. He left a smirk as he grabbed Misaki by the wrist and pulled her onto his muscular body. He hugged her tightly and whispered "It was a fake engagement. We aren't getting married. I love you Misaki. I've only been thinking of you." He whispered into her ear and kissed it lightly. Misaki felt a chill run down her spine, she was grabbing onto the man's shirt and holding him tightly.

It only took her a moment to snap out of it, break his hold and walk out the door. "Of course she's furious, how can I ever get around that temper of hers?" Usui said. Usui decided to give her space, and heard the furious girl stomping her way down his apartment, and exiting the front door.

"What day is it again?' Usui mumbled to himself.. "Monday..? Shoot… I've been totally out of it lately. I guess I'll head to the new office with the secretary.."

Usui swiftly unpacked his luggage onto his bed, took out his business attire and dressed himself in a white button down, navy blazer and pants with a matching tie. He slipped on his shined shoes and put on his glasses. With a little bit of gel, he cupped it in his hands, and massaged it through his hair, and combed it to the left, creating a sleek part.

He quickly left his apartment and met with this secretary, and limo which was waiting outside for him. "Have you slept well, CEO Takumi?" greeted the secretary. "It's not one of your business to ask about my personal life" replied Usui as he entered the car.

Misaki goes back to her mother's house, and is greeted by her little sister Suzuna. "Sis you have to be at work in 20 minutes. Manager Satsuki called home and told us Honoka is sick." "Suzuna why didn't you text me in the morning! I'm almost late to work!"

"I did text you though, it's unlike you to not respond to my message.. Maybe sis was just out having a good time with a certain someone! Did you get over Usui yet? " Suzuna asked in a playful tone. Misaki checked her cell phone, only to discover 10 unread messages sent by her sis. "Oh no! I have never overslept this badly! Also this isn't the time to be asking those sort of things Suzuna!" Misaki continued to ignore what her sister said.

Misaki ran to her bedroom, took a hot shower and began throwing on her casual wear. For her hair she just left it wet, no blowdry. On her face, she applied moisturizer, and lip balm. She quickly ran out of her room, headed to the kitchen to grab a slice of toast.

Misaki met her sister outside again, and she saw a man on a motorcycle. "Sis! This is one of Hinata's friends, he can take you to work.. I think you might know him." At this point Misaki didn't care, her night, and her morning was surprising enough to her that she just hopped onto the motorcycle and hugged the mans torso. She could feel his abs through his shirt, and noticed his broad shoulders. She didn't think too much of it though, she had to get to work in less than… 5 minutes? Oh my. Well one day being late isn't all that bad.. Is it? Misaki was basically squirming in her seat, that the man driving decided to kick it to full speed, He rode so fast that the wind pressure was drying Misaki's wet hair.. And they managed to arrive at Maid Latte with just a minute to spare!

The man on the motorcycle takes off his helmet, and shakes his smooth, soft blonde hair. "aren't you Igarashi Tora? Thanks for the ride.. I'll repay you soon" Misaki said as she ran into the cafe. Tora only responded with a smirk as he watched her hurry off to work.

Misaki walked into the dressing room and began changing into her maid outfit, before she even took off her shirt she heard somebody enter, calling her name. "Oh my Misaki, why are you changing? Didn't your sister tell you?" Satsuki said.

"Yeah she told me to come into work. Why what's wrong?" Misaki asked confused. "Misaki… I don't think that you're fit to work here any more. You don't seem to enjoy your job.. I think finding a different path is the right way to go for yourself and Maid Latte. We've already hired a replacement, so you do not need to come work for me anymore. I've already discussed this with your mother." Satsuki tried to not sound heartbroken, and kept her straightest face.

Satsuki left the dressing room and Misaki didn't believe what she just heard. "I'm not..fit for the job… anymore? Why me? Why was I born in a poor family? Why did my boyfriend leave me? Why am I getting fired? Why me?" Misaki said as tears welled up in her eyes." She decided to quickly take her belongings.. Grab them all in her arms and ran out into the back alleyway. As she opened the door, she bumped into a tall man, causing all of her possessions to fall to the ground. Misaki saw the photographs from her birthday with the Maid Latte crew, she saw from when they did traditional day.. The cosplays and the bright smiles made her tear up even more.

The strange blonde man looked at the pitiful girl on the ground and said "Aren't you supposed to repay me." He poked her head backwards with his finger, and made eye contact. He grabbed her by the waist, pulled her off the ground and said "Come on. Let's go to my house. Maid." He spoke so condescending, and offended Misaki. She tried to use her martial arts on him, but the man countered him.

"What do you want from me Tora? I just lost my job… I'm doing horribly in school, my life is a ness just leave me alone!" The girl pleaded. Her face was in pain.. And she didn't want to have this piece of shit harassing her.

"I want you." said the man as he leaned in for a kiss and grabbed her by her tiny waist. Before Tora could plant a kiss on Misaki's lips, he was interrupted by someone saying " What the fuck are you doing. Tora." Usui landed a punch on Tora's handsome face, leaving a red mark. " She's my maid. And she's going to be working for my company." Usui grabbed Misaki's hand and held it tightly. They both walked to his Limo, and sat in the back seat. "What the hell do you mean I'M working for YO-" Misaki screamed, but was interrupted by Usui's warm lips. At first she was resisting, but it didn't take long for her to subside into the kiss.
