100 Days with Mr. Arrogant

Chapter Eleven: Moving In

Yamato just felt he's raging mad as he comes closer to the two. He does not know why he's feeling like that, but…

He glared at Mimi, then glanced shortly at TK. He did not mind him, and immediately, TK let go of her. Mimi was surprised about his sudden expression.

"Uh… Yamato! This is---" Mimi began to explain.

Before she could continue to introduce her co-worker, Yamato already grabbed her hand.

"Let's go." He said nonchalantly. He does not understand why he became spiteful all of a sudden.

Why would I care anyway?

He sighed, mentally slapping himself. That was an instinct he never imagined. He knew he was used to his unruly manners.

On the other hand, Mimi was quite confused about Yamato's action. She takes glances every now and then at Yamato, and he remains to be silent.

"I'm sorry for having you wait for so long." She solemnly said. "It wasn't TK's fault. It's my----"

"Yeah, whatever…" he just mumbled to cut her explanation. Don't even bring up that topic!

Mimi remained silent. After a few blocks, Yamato stopped the car and then it revealed a nicely painted pent house with a garden in it. Mimi was really amazed by the sight of it, and wondered that a cold guy like Yamato could love plants and have a beautiful garden.

He helped her with her baggage and he took the keys of the house from his pocket. He threw one key to Mimi.

"Here's the key to your room. I can only have the key to the main door, understood?" Yamato told her.

"Yeah. Thanks." She answered. She walked with him towards the cozy living room leading to a spiral staircase. The interior was nice and there is little furniture in his house. The dining hall is seemingly, and the carpeted floor is too soft.

"Your room is beside my room on the second floor. You are not allowed to go there unless I told you. At all times, you stay at your room if necessary. When you are cleaning the house, tell me first. Be careful with the furniture and displays. They cost a lot, you know. And they all came from my allowance." He said spontaneously.

"I fully understood," Mimi replied. "Is there anything you want me to do now?"

"Arrange your things and report to my room immediately."

"Hai."

She took her baggage towards the third room, as he pointed out to her, and opened the door. Inside she found a nice room with four windows, spacious and more than enough for a "slave" like her. The bed was soft, but smaller compared to her own at their mansion. There is a soft pillow and a pink comforter. Everything was arranged. She began unpacking her clothes and one by one, she placed it in her new closet. She will be staying there for a hundred days. She must get used to Yamato's house rules.

She went to the room beside hers. It was his room, full of posters of NBA players, different rock bands and… she noticed a drum set and guitar plus a keyboard right on the corner.

"Wow, you sure have lots of musical instruments up here. Do you play them?" she asked.

"Mimi, you are not here to interrogate me nor intervene with my private life."
He said flatly. "Now listen. I want lunch ready at 11:50 and the TV must be turned on at the dining hall. Place it on channel 2, and don't forget to place the remote on the table."

"Okay,"

"Then I want the rice fluffy and a soup to be added. The grocery is not yet fixed down there so you should arrange them to the cabinet at the kitchen."

Yamato cupped his chin for a while as he thinks. "Hmn, what else… ah! Do not forget my grape juice. I love that especially with 3 cubes of ice."

"Is that all?"

"I call you once I remember something."

"Okay."

-------------------------------

Yamato watched how Mimi moved to do all the chores he assigned her. He enjoyed how she moves slowly and surely, and he makes sure that every action she does is seen through his blue eyes. He loved her obedience the most, and her happy expression despite that she has tons of work to do. Her patience seems long, and he really likes that.

After that, he is about to have lunch. Mimi was going to the kitchen when Yamato suddenly stopped him.

"I didn't say slaves won't eat with their master," Yamato said. "Come sit here, there are plenty of chairs."

"Thanks,"

"You don't have to,"

As Yamato took a sip from the soup she's made, he's quite impressed. He cannot believe that a rich girl like her could actually prepare something he would definitely like. He was wondering if she trained or something or she's just skilled when it comes to housekeeping.

"This is good," Yamato replied "I think you should cook this more often."

"Really?" She was amazed by his honest comment but she wanted to make sure he's not joking.

"Yeah, I said it."

"Gee, thanks!"

"Has anyone complimented about your cooking before?"

"Actually, it's my first time."

"Good for a first-timer like you. Keep it up."

"I think I'll learn a lot from this enslavement contract," Mimi said in a positive way.

"I hope so," Yamato murmured under his breath, continuing to eat.

-------------------------------

After lunch and after Mimi did the kitchen chores, Yamato asked her to clean up his room. Mimi obliged, and Yamato said that he's going out to rent some DVD at a nearby video shop. Mimi went inside perkily, looking at every corner of his room. It was not that messy, and it shows a reflection of typical Yamato. Except what Mimi noticed.

"Yamato-kun loves music?" she gasped, looking at the different displays at his room. Those posters of rock bands and the musical instruments show it. He also has his tall collection of CD's.

But what caught her attention is an old photo showing Yamato's complete family picture. And below the picture frame, Mimi found a harmonica there. Mimi found out that he has a younger brother. They were all happy, and Yamato does not have this dark stares or cold glares. His smile shows how simple and innocent he is. Then Mimi read the carvings on the harmonica. Yamato and Takeru.

On the other side showed a picture of him wearing junior high school uniform. Beside it is a trophy with the words Champion: Battle of the bands.

The picture shows that Yamato is the lead singer and behind him are his co-members.

"He really is something," Mimi thought. "I would never know this side of him if I didn't agree with the contract,"
