Hey guys. :) Thanks again for reviewing. I apologize for the errors. I'll try and edit them. Also, I don't think I'll be able to update quickly. I have problems right now and it's not helping me write at all. I swear I'll do better when things lighten up. But thanks for the comments. :) I appreciate them. xoxo

Chapter 11

That night was the most tiring night I have ever experienced. Usui's family really knows how to throw a grand party. Their house doesn't really look big on the outside but it's like a castle inside. There were a lot of foreigners as well as Japanese. Everyone was wearing formal clothes and I thank god Susan found me before I could go to Usui's house wearing a shirt, jeans and a pair of sneakers.

"You look amazing Ayuzawa." Usui said as soon as he saw me in front of their house. He was clad in a black suit with two buttons undone. He left his hair in a messy state. Shit he looks hot. I tried hard to compose myself and walk towards him without blushing.

"I guess. I mean I look okay." I shrugged. I looked down at my creamy sleeveless dress that stops at the middle of my thighs. A bit short if you ask me, but I'd rather not disobey Susan. She's very stern when it comes to fashion. She finished my outfit with a pair of 3-inch strappy beige heels. Don't laugh. I can't walk in these.

"That is such an understatement." He said with a light laugh, taking hold of my hand. He led me inside their house and all I could do was gape. Everything was so… sparkly. Not even the mayor's house could compete to this. Usui looked at me and smirked. I must've seemed like a princess entering a big castle.

I looked around and felt a little underdressed. Everyone looked so rich and here I am, a small town girl walking hand in hand with possibly the hottest guy on earth. What did I do to deserve this?

We ate dinner inside their wide table. Wow, and I thought out table was too much. Everyone was speaking English and I just kept silent. All I know is that they're talking about business. Susan and Hank joined the conversation. Well they are originally from Los Angeles so that's no problem for them. Sissy kept glancing at the many rich men passing by. Of course the flirting never goes away. Everything was so intimidating I felt really small and nervous, and frankly out of place.

Usui sensed the tension and squeezed my hand. I gave him an assuring smile and continued eating the food which by the way was the most delicious thing I have ever tasted. After dinner, Usui dragged me to his parents and I tried relentlessly to steer myself the other way but unfortunately he was too strong.

"Misaki! Oh you look wonderful dear." Tricia squealed and pulled me to a hug. I guess Usui got his childishness from his mother.

I gave her a warm smile and greeted her a happy birthday. Tricia looks so beautiful with her simple but fitting navy blue dress. She wore a big necklace that looks like Cleopatra's. She's so stunning that I felt unworthy just standing in front of her.

"Well, I hope your having a good time." Yuu said his hand around his wife's waist protectively.

"Oh she will." Usui said as he intertwined my fingers with his. I turned beet red. How can he do that so casually when we're in front of his parents?

"Usui, no funny business." Tricia warned him.

"That's what I told her." Susan interrupted from behind us. Tricia and Yuu laughed and I just pretended that Susan said that for amusement. But when I looked at her, she raised her eyebrow at me and I knew she was being serious.

Usui dragged me upstairs to his room. Don't misunderstand. I also wanted to see his room. Besides, there were so many guests.

"Yeah so this is my room." Usui said as he opened the door. I took a step inside and the first thing I noticed was my room in front of Usui's. I smiled. We used to have our late night conversations here with him leaning on his windowsill and me on my little balcony.

"Wait, you took a picture of me? When was this?" I said as I touched the photo glued on the side of the mirror.

"Chemistry. You looked so cute with your goggles and lab coat." He said his breath tickling my neck. I turned around and lightly pushed him.

"You have got to stop doing that." I said as I shook my head.

"Stop doing what?" he said as he neared me again.

"That. The staring, the touching, the whispering." I said, nervously looking around.

"You don't like it?" he took another step forward and I stepped backward until I felt the mirror.

"I—well not necessarily. I don't don't like it. It's just—it's making me feel weird. I feel fidgety and uncomfortable and happy and confused and embarrassed. I can't keep my feelings in check when I'm around you and—would you stop smiling!" here I am being all serious and he's grinning like a total idiot.

"Sorry, it's just—you look so cute when you're flustered." He said touching his forehead to mine.

"It's all your fault, idiot Usui." I mumbled.

"So sly, Ayuzawa." He said still smiling. We stood still for a while until slow music started to play from downstairs. "You wanna dance?" he stood straight and offered his hand.

"Uhh, no way. I don't do dancing." I said laughing.

"C'mon. I'll teach you." Usui took my hand, held my waist and started to sway with the rhythm of the music. I just kept looking down at my feet, afraid that I might step on his foot.

I heard him chuckle and say, "Shouldn't you have eye contact with your dance partner?"

"I-I just don't want to step on your toes. These heels are pretty pointy." I said.

"Speaking of dance, are you going to prom?" he asked.

"I don't think so. As you can see, I suck at this whole thing." I shrugged.

"Pity, it wouldn't be fun without Misa-chan around." He pouted. Ugh, so cute.

"You'll survive the night without me! I don't have to go to that stupid dance. Besides, I don't have a date."

Usui snickered. "Well that's no problem. I'm free, you're free. Do we really need a genius to figure this whole thing out?"

"Usui, are you asking me to be your date?" I stopped moving and stood still.

"Maybe I am." He smirked.

"Well, maybe you're crazy." I shoved him playfully.

"Maybe you'll say yes."

"Maybe." I said. Was I flirting just now? Before I could answer my own question, the door flew open and Usui's double appeared. Hold on, two Usui's?

Please review my awesome readers. :) xoxo
