Chapter 10
-Hello, Erika.
Misaki was staring in shock the woman in front of her.
So this was the famous Erika that she heard so many times of.
By the look of her face she was shocked to, like she was looking at a ghost.
She stayed there for a couple of minutes, staring at Usui with wide eyes then she tried to say something but no words were coming out of her mouth.
-What are you doing here, Erika?
Misaki turned her head, facing Usui.
He seemed totally calm on his face but she could tell he was not calm at all by the way he was tightening his hold on her and she felt his muscles tens.
-I…I'm here too…
She brought her eyes to Misaki than to Usui hoping he would get the message.
'Tell her to leave and we will talk'
Misaki understood why she was staring from her to Usui then back at her and she slipped from Usui's hold getting ready to leave.
-I have to go to the kitchen and make dinner.
A hold on her arm stopped her from getting away.
Usui bent down to give her a full kiss on her lips, making Misaki blush.
- I will see you later, sweetheart.
Misaki made her way to the kitchen, but instead of preparing dinner she stayed behind the door to listen to them.
She needed to know who this woman was.
By the way she was looking at Usui , she could tell that Erika had done something to Usui. Her eyes were full of pain, sadness and…guilt.
Misaki sighed and brought her ear to the door to listen to them.
She didn't know who Erika was, but she didn't like her at all.
-She is gone now, so speak. What are you doing here, Erika?
-I came to give you bad news Usui, after all you were gone for so long and a lot happened. Where did you find this place by the way? It took me forever to find you.
-That's none of your business. What bad news?
Erika shivered. His eyes were to cold and he was frightening.
What happened to the sweet Usui? And who was that girl? The way he looked at her…
-I came to inform you that your father and mother..they…
She brought her gaze to the ground. She was not comfortable with the way he was looking at her.
-Spill it out already!
Erika took a step back.
Usui was scaring her with his icy look and with the tone of his voice.
'He has not forgiven me' she thought sadly.
-Usui, your parents…died…
She was facing him now waiting for his reaction to the sad news.
But to her surprise he remained calm, staring at her blankly.
-That's all the news you had to give me? That Lisa and Edward died?
Erika's eyes widened in shock, she did not expect this kind of reaction from Usui.
-That's it? Isn't this bad news enough? Your parents died Usui!
-First of all they were not my parents. Second why should I care that they died? They didn't care for me so why should I care for them?
-Usui….
She whispered, trying to say something but Usui kept going.
-And third, why are you here? I'm sure you are not here just for the very sad news. I know you better than that Erika so spill it out. Say what you really want to say.
-I'M SORRY, OK!
Usui never loosed his cool, his face unreadable.
-Sorry? What for?
Erika stared at him in ridiculously. Why was he acting like this?
-I'm sorry for what I did you that time with…Hinata, and that I didn't remain faithful to you. I'm sorry that I didn't love you back. I'm ready to let the past go and to start over with you.
Usui seemed to be amused by her words.
-Really? You came here with the confidence that if you apologized to me, we would go back together?
Then he burst out laughing.
Erika was speechless. First she apologized to him hoping he would understand and would move on, but oh how wrong she was.
-What's gotten into you, Usui? I'm not recognizing you anymore.
- Recognize me? Erika it's been 5 years! You expected me to be the same innocent, naïve and idiot that I used to be? I moved on from you Erika, I changed. You think you know me? You are getting yourself fooled. This was all I wanted to say now goodnight.
Usui turned on his heel to go inside but before he could go any further, he felt to arms wrap behind him, hugging him from behind.
Erika was sobbing uncontrollably as she brought her face to Usui's shirt.
Usui huffed in annoyance. He knew something like this was going to happen.
-Erika let me go, you know we are done so go find someone else to fool like Hinata and don't…
-It's because of her isn't it?
-Because of who?
He asked confused. Maybe she was talking for Lisa….
-That black hair girl that opened the door, or maybe not.
-What about her?
-It's because of her that you are like this now? That you changed and became cold hearted and…
Usui pried her off him with force.
-How dare you talk bad about Misaki! She gave me the opportunity to see light again from the dark you brought me in. I'm like this because of you, Erika! She is not like you, she will never become like you!
-Become like me?
-Yes, become like you. A whore!
Erika slapped him hard. This bastard!
She was hurt though. Those were not the words she wanted to hear.
Usui chuckled even though his cheek was burning.
-Does the truth hurt, Erika? You are not faithful, sleeping with different men for money. I want to know during the time we were together how many lovers did you have behind my back?
Erika slapped him again, this time harder. He was going too far.
-You know, slap me as much as you like but it will change nothing of what you are so now you can go. Goodbye Erika!
He went inside the house and closed the door behind him not caring if Erika left or stayed there.
He wanted to see Misaki as soon as possible, he wanted to hug her, kiss her and make love to her.
He was not aware, but slowly- slowly he was falling in love with her.
Misaki didn't know how long she stayed there behind the door trying to understand what the both of them were saying.
She could her clearly some words when they raised their voices, but not the others.
This was making her mad at herself. She knew she had to prepare dinner instead of listening to their conversation, but her curiosity got the better of her.
When a noise that sounded like slapping was heard, she became worried.
She was ready to go out there but immediately stopped when she realized it was not her business.
Then she heard them yelling at each other. She heard only 'whore, different men, money and the time we were together.
She froze suddenly. 'The time we were together?' So they were in love once? But why didn't Usui talk about her? And those other words she heard…
Footsteps were heard and Misaki went quickly to sit on the chair acting like she was there the whole time.
The door opened and Usui came in, with a tired look on his face, and there were red marks on his cheek.
-Is dinner ready?
Misaki snapped out of her thoughts and rose slowly from the chair to get close to him.
Usui flinched when he felt her cold hand on his cheek.
-Does it hurt?
Her voice was soft and gentle. He felt himself getting more relaxed at her touch.
Without warning he caught her and brought her to his chest, embracing her as he brought his nose to her neck.
He loved her scent. It was so unique, so wonderful so…Misaki.
Misaki just stood there, wrapped in Usui's arms, as she tried to regain herself from shock.
She couldn't hold back the giggle when he nuzzled her neck.
-God, I love your scent.
She wrapped her arms around his neck, embracing him back and she closed her eyes to enjoy this moment.
His face was close to her face as she felt his breath on her lips.
-What are you doing to me, Misaki?
Before she could respond he closed the gap between them and kissed her, tongue parting her lips for a battle with her tongue.
They were making out in the kitchen as he kissed her and his hand traveling up and down her body.
They parted lips, staring at each other as they breathed hard.
-You know, I would take you right here, right now but the boys will return soon, so later wait for me and don't fall asleep.
Misaki was still breathing hard, staring at Usui's lips as they moved but she couldn't understand a word. Her mind was foggy with lust.
She wanted him now.
-Now don't look at me like that, my little one. We are going to have fun later but now tell me did you prepare dinner?
Misaki was snapped out in a second when she heard his question. Dinner!
-Oh yeah about that…I don't know how to cook.
Usui raised an eyebrow in amusement.
-You don't know how to cook? Then why did you volunteer?
Misaki rolled her eyes. He was having a lot of fun she could tell.
-To give you and that woman privacy to talk.
In a second Usui's mood changed again.
He was no longer amused, he was frowning now.
Misaki wished she hadn't said that.
'Way to ruin the moment, genius' she thought.
-Usui, did I say something wrong?
-No sweetheart, you didn't. Let's cook together dinner then.
It was Misaki's turn to raise an eyebrow.
-You can cook?
Usui flashed his usual smirk.
-Of course I can hon, you thought I didn't know how to cook?
-Well, you're a man so I didn't expect you to know how to cook.
-I'm not any man, Misa-chan, so stop thinking so poorly of me.
She grinned at him.
-I'll try not to think poorly of you.
They cooked together, while arguing, laughing, stealing kisses from each other until the dinner was ready.
They had cooked curry, omelet and ramen.
Misaki's stomach growled at the good smell.
She blushed and looked away in embarrassment.
-Usui smirked amused at her behavior, went close to her to pull out a chair.
-Have a sit, my lady.
Misaki sat and blushed again at his gesture.
-No need to get shy with me, Misa-chan, so start eating.
After they finished their dinner, Misaki insisted to do the dishes, but Usui wouldn't have that and soon they got caught in an argue.
-Will you listen to me once, woman? I'm telling you to go upstairs and stay there!'
-I want to do the dishes you stubborn jackass man!
-I'll do the dishes you go rest I'm telling you!
-I don't want to rest, and why can't I do the dishes?
-Because I don't want you to!
-Fine! Then let's just do the dishes together!
-Fine!
They were doing the dishes together at first keeping the distance with each other but soon they were fighting with water.
The both of them were soaking wet and laughing hard when Kanou, Tora and Tora came in the kitchen.
They were all shocked to see their Boss like that.
During the time they worked for Usui, he always came off as a closed, reserved cold person. But they were sure this man was not their Boss at all.
-Boss? Are you ok?
Usui and Misaki's heads turned to the three boys who were looking at them confused.
-Yes I'm perfectly fine. Misaki go upstairs and rest now ok?
He gave her a peck on her lips and watched in amusement as her face flushed.
She mumbled a good night to the boys and ran upstairs.
-So how did it go?
The boys gathered around Usui showing him the things they stole and they could tell he was pleased by his reaction.
-Boss?
-Yes, Kanou?
-When we were making our way here, we saw a woman with brown hair leaving from this direction. Could it be that she was…..
-Yes, it was her.
There was silence, no one dared to say a word until Tora broke the silence.
-Why was she here, Boss?
For her stupid reasons to go back together and to tell me that Edward and Lisa died. That's all.
Yukimura's stomach made that embarrassing noise.
Usui's lips turned up in a smile.
-Misaki and I prepared dinner, sit down and eat your dinner.
-Boss, can I talk to you about something?
-Of course Kanou. What do you want to talk about?
-Well I was thinking about the death of your parents and….they were rich right?
Usui nodded his head listening to him carefully.
-Well, you were their only child and I was thinking…maybe they left their fortune to you?
Usui sighed.
-I don't know Kanou, it's been 5 years since when I last saw them. I don't know what has happened.
-Wouldn't it be better if you go and take information for this, Boss? Who knows maybe they really did, and you are not going to allow Erika's family to take the fortune right?
Usui frowned.
-Absolutely not!
Usui made his way upstairs in his room. He was deep in thought when he went inside the room.
Misaki was pretending like she was asleep when she heard the door open.
She heard the noise of clothes dropping on the ground and she felt Usui laying on his side of bed.
He rolled to her side and brought his arm out to pull her closer to him.
She got comfortable in his arms and was ready to fall asleep, when..
-Misaki, I' ll let you go back to your family…
