I'm back people! Sorry for the late update. Common test week so I'm kinda' busy. Also, I'm working on my other story "I didn't want to tell you" a Ghost Hunt fanfic. Check it out if you're a Ghost Hunt fan! And btw, anybody interested in adopting my GA fanfic "The midnight secret", drop a me PM or review.

"Why the heck are you here?" Natsume hissed at her. The fact that Ruka and Hotaru didn't tell him about Luna's arrival was not helping the situation at all.

Luna pushed her way past the other couple and gave a seductive smile at Natsume. Ok, I'm pissed this time, and Mikan Sakura isn't someone to mess with. "Of course I'm here to see you! Did you miss me? Was this bitch giving you a hard time? I'm sure that if you ask me right now, I wouldn't hesitate to return to your side again." She told him shamelessly.

Natsume popped a vein, "You're hopelessly thick-skinned and mother fucking shameless. Get lost bitch. How did you even manage to come here in the first place?"

Placing an arm on his shoulder and pulling him close, she whispered into his ear, "It wouldn't be hard based on my charm to sleep with one of the security here."

This was seriously getting on my nerves. I pushed her away from Natsume and gave her a tight slap. She caressed her red cheek and stared at me. "Natsume Hyuuga is my man and nobody messes with Mikan Sakura's man. Get it bitch? Now leave before I sue you for attempted adultery on third party." I warned her in a resentful tone.

She smirked at me before leaving us. Ruka just stared at me in awe. "That was very bold of you." He commented.

"I don't see the point in showing mercy to bitches like her. What the fuck." I replied him. Hotaru was not paying any attention to our conversation; she was quite busy with her precious camera, ready to blackmail the famous faces again.

Natsume simply gave a grin for my audacity, probably chuckling to himself about what I said. "You do know that you just made a major confession to me." He said.

"It wasn't a confession!"

He smirked and left to get something to drink from the bar. Hotaru and Ruka sighed at me and left. Ok, maybe that wasn't so bad. I looked around the ballroom, seeing if there was anybody else I knew of. Natsume was busy talking to a few clients from his company and I knew I couldn't disturb him.

Time passed faster than we know it and soon the party was over. Kaoru Hyuuga thanked her guests once again for coming and had escorts seeing them out. The Hyuuga couple walked towards me when the party ended and asked, "So Mikan, did you enjoy yourself?"

"I did. Thank you for inviting me." I replied with a smile. Natsume joined in our conversation once he made sure that every guest was gone. "Well, since the newspaper had our relationship so publicized, it would only be weird if you weren't here."

I rolled my eyes at him and Kaoru Hyuuga stifled her laughter. Ruka and Hotaru had to leave early and bade us goodbye. Satoshi Hyuuga dragged his wife away and said, "You two should go and have fun. See you!"

They vanished in the blink of an eye. What just happened?

"Looks like it's just you and me, want to go somewhere?" Natsume suggested. I didn't need to think twice before answering, "My house."

His face was plastered with the usual smirk. I hate it because it's always of no good. "What are you mocking at?"

"You of course. Aren't you being a little too open about inviting me to your house?" he asked.

"You're my boyfriend, as you call it. Besides, it's not the first time you've been there."

At Mikan's mansion:

"The usual?" I questioned him while holding on to a bottle of red wine. He nodded in reply and I took two glasses out from the drawer. We sat on the couch, sipping on our wine while watching the television showing some soapy drama. Why the heck were we even on that channel?

"Polka dots." He called.

I turned my head from the screen to look at him, "What?"

A mischievous grin scrambled its way onto his face, and before I could run away, Natsume caught me in a kiss. "What the fuck was that for?" I yelled at him, blushing like mad.

"Nothing." Natsume answered me smugly. I felt like killing him. Neither I nor he said anything after that, and I was beginning to find the silence awkward.

"Natsume… I'm scared." I whispered. His arms immediately held me in a warm embrace. "Why? I'm here for you." He asked.

I started trembling, "Luna Koizumi is after me… I wasn't being brave just now. I'm scared."

Natsume let out a sigh and helped me stand up. "You need to get some sleep." He said, before bringing me to my room. He closed the door and laid me down on my bed, pulling the covers over me.

"Polka, I know you're worried about Luna, but I assure you that I'll deal with her. I will make sure that you come into no harm." He kissed my forehead as if sealing the promise. He turned around and was about to leave the room but I stopped him. "Stay with me tonight." I pleaded.

He ruffled his hair and gave me a smile. "Alright."

I moved closer to the other side of the bed as he climbed onto it. I cuddled into his chest while he placed his arm over my waist. "You were never like this when I just knew you, Mikan." He commented, "I always thought of you as a spoiled young lady."

"That's because you didn't know me well enough. You weren't what I thought you'd be when I knew you too." I replied, smiling to myself.

I fell asleep soon after; throwing all my worries because I knew Natsume was by my side.

The next morning:

I woke up next to an empty bed and immediately sprang up. Where did Natsume go? After washing up, I opened the door, only to be hit by the aroma of pancakes and sausages. There was the smell of my favourite scrambled eggs too.

"Morning Polka-dots." Natsume greeted me. He was still wearing his clothes from yesterday and I felt so guilty for forcing him to stay overnight.

"Morning." I yawned, walking down the stairs and heading to the kitchen. I looked over his shoulders and saw him flip an egg over, and then placing it on the plate. We shared a quick kiss before having our breakfast. Natsume suggested going his recording studio to see him recording his latest single. I agreed and we headed out right after clearing our food.

"Take care Miss Mikan!" Yukimi said. I waved her goodbye and left in my Porsche with Natsume. We arrived at his recording studio at around 11 am, and we were so surprised that there were actually fans outside the building. "Not good…" I muttered.

"NATSUME-SAMA! WE LOVE YOU!" They screamed. We got out of the car and squeezed pass the fans, successfully getting into the building alive.

"Next time, try using the back door." I told him. He said nothing but chuckled. Pressing the lift button, he the cornered me once the lift arrived. "Not in here Natsume!" I scolded. He let go of me and straightened his shirt. The lift stopped at the 7th floor and we walked out.

Natsume introduced me to his producer, Takenaga Hiro, a young man of fine qualities. "Nice to meet you, Miss Sakura. I've heard so much about you from Natsume."

He offered me his hand and I shook it. "Nice to meet you too, Takenaga-san. Thank you for taking of Natsume."

Takenaga invited me to sit in the corner while watching Natsume do his recording. I bet that Natsume's new single is gonna be hit, I thought to myself. Natsume once told me that he wrote the song for 'a certain someone', but refused to tell me who was it.

The background music started playing and then followed by Natsume's voice. I found myself being pulled into his world when he sang. The words were just so meaningful.

"Ok! We're done! Thank you for your hard work, Natsume." Takenaga said as he switched off the equipment. Natsume came out of the recording room and left with me.

"I've heard the song, and I think it's wonderful!" I told him while we were waiting for the lift. He said nothing but smiled. Just then, my phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Miss Sakura? There are a few people looking for you in the company. Is it ok if you come back for a moment? They said that it was an emergency." The other person on the line said.

"Oh ok… I'll be heading down in a moment."

Natsume looked at me and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I need to go back to my company for a moment. Someone's looking for me. Can you drive me there?"

He nodded and drove quickly to my company.

At MS Ikura Corp:

I pressed the lift button and rushed towards my office. But whoever that was inside the room surprised me.

Luna Koizumi and my photographer, Ishida Yoh.

Natsume held me close protectively, "What's your business, bitch?"

Luna said nothing but gave a sly grin. "You see, " Ishida began, "the designs for next week's photo shoot have arrived earlier than expected, and I was hoping that we could do the photo shoot two days from now."

I thought about it for a moment before giving Natsume an uncertain look. Luna Koizumi must be behind this scheme. But why? Natsume didn't say anything but instead pulled me towards my office chair. He settled me down and ordered me to 'sit here and don't move'.

"Look Luna, I don't want to think that you're doing this for some bad purposes, but if Mikan's life ends up in danger, I'll make sure you'll never get to see tomorrow." He warned.

Ishida butted in the conversation, "Erm… Mr. Hyuuga, I don't know what's going on, but I think that Miss Koizumi has got nothing to with this. The supplier said that he could ship in the design earlier, so he would prefer having the shoot taken earlier to clear his studio."

I told Natsume from my seat that I wouldn't mind. Besides, it's not like we're using the same studio for the same photo shoot. Luna's there for something different, so I guess it wouldn't be a problem. Natsume didn't seem to trust what Ishida said, but he nevertheless agreed.

Ishida closed the deal and left, leaving the three of us inside. Natsume hurriedly chased Luna out of my office and shut the door. He dragged me towards the couch and hugged me, worry evident in his action.

"I'm sure everything will be fine Natsume." I assured him. He gave a weak smile and held my left hand, staring at the ring he gave me. "Do you know that when you wear this ring, you're bound to marry me?" he asked.

"What…?"

"Nothing." He replied. We stood up and walked out of my office hand in hand.

That was when I felt like throwing up all the contents in my body and rushed into the toilet.

OK, I'M SORRY! This is not better than what I've thought to be. But I'll try to produce an even better chapter next time! 1858 words this time. The story's getting better, though I find it slightly out of point. Next update will probably be next month, after my End-Of-Years.

So stay tuned! (:

Love,
