I parked my car and gazed at the place before me. Huh. Not much has changed. I went towards the door and into the halls. I still remember the whereabouts of this house. I went up the grand staircase and went to the left wing. Walked up to the 5th door, took a deep breath, and knocked.
"Come in." A deep voice said. A voice I knew very much. I opened the door and there I saw the devil himself.
"Is that how you greet your old man?" He smirked at me.
"What do you want dad?" I asked as I stared at him coldly
"Take your seat." He said as he gestured at the seat in front of his table
"I wouldn't bother. I can't wait to get out of here anyway." I said as I kept my face passive
"Mikan, take the fucking seat or so help me God!" He said as he gritted his teeth. Surely he was angry but I still didn't budge.
"Or what?" I huffed. I'm still fucking mad at him. For everything. There's this part of me that I blame him for my mother's death. For Natsume and I's separation.
"Cookies?" A bell-like voice suddenly piped in. I looked behind me only to find the devil's wife.
I faced my dad who was now gesturing for the deranged woman to come in
"What the hell is she doing here?" I said as I spat venom in each word
"Mikan. I'm warning you. " He said as he glared at me. Luna seemed to find amusement as my dad glowered at me.
"Oh I'll rephrase. What the is that bitch doing here?" I emphasized on 'bitch' because this bitch is the mother of all bitches.
"Maybe I need to-
"No Luna. Stay." My dad said as he firmly held her hand. Looking at them both makes me sick to the core.
My dad married Luna the bitch. Oops, scratch that. Luna the lunatic is better.
"No honey. It's okay." She said as she made her voice all lovey dovey which, obviously, my dad fell for that act. It's disgusting. She's a gold digger.
"No. Honey, stay." My dad said as he kissed her palm
I scoffed. Instantly, they both looked at me.
"Oh, was I too loud expressing how disgusted I am?" I said as I rolled my eyes
"Mikan Sakura you better hold your tongue!" My dad was now completely outraged. Great. One life goal achieved. Again.
"I'll be out of your sight in no time. If you'd tell me what the hell do you want?" I huffed
"So… I've heard that, you're going out with that Hyuuga kid. Yet again." He said as he uttered his disapproval.
"And so?" I knew what he was getting at. But I'm not a kid anymore to be manipulated.
"I think you know where it all goes down to" He said, his face stoic.
"And I think you know where it all goes down to." I said as I crossed my arms
"I'm your father you do as I-
I snort a laugh as I cut him off.
"Are we really rehashing this stupid argument? I did what you wanted years ago! I handled the business, I left the man I love, and now, what? Why can't you just let me be fucking happy for once?!"
"Dear… maybe it's for the best. Mikan knows what she's doing. Right Mikan?" Luna massaged my dad at the shoulders as she gave me a timid smile.
"How about, you invite that Natsume here and we'll have a little dinner? What do you say?" She grins at me like we're besties.
No bitch.
"So you can dig gold from him too?" I asked innocently
Her face from sleeping beauty seems to transport right away to Maleficent.
"Mikan! I have had enough of your attitude!" My dad retorted as his hands balled in fists.
"And I have had enough of you controlling my fucking life!" I shouted
"Seeing the way you're still clearly blinded by this Hyuuga, I'm assuming he hasn't told you yet." My dad smirked.
My face turned from anger to confusion. From the way my dad said that, it seems like he knew something I didn't. And this obviously concerned Natsume.
"What the hell are you talking about?"
He smirked and stood up. He stuffed his hands in his pocket and went in front of me.
"You don't have a single idea, do you?"
I looked at him hard.
Why does it feel like I'm about to discover something that doesn't feel right?
"That man you think you love, is the man that launched a bullet through your mother's skull." He said with his voice laced with venom.
"I don't believe you." I huffed
What the hell was this man thinking? Does he think that coming up with lies would make me believe him and leave Natsume?
"Of course you don't. You think I'm making up lies just to get rid of the boy. Mikan, I'm your father. I want what's best for you. And that boy isn't one of them."
"You want what's best for me? You think that what you did before, was what's best for me? Are you out of your mind?"
"Mikan. If you want to know the answer, go ask the bastard yourself." With that, he stormed off leaving me utterly speechless.
I don't believe a thing he said. And I know I never will. Natsume is part of the Mafia but I know that he will never ever do something like that. Let alone that the person in question is my mother.
That's beyond impossible.
Or is it?
"Mikan it's true." I looked up to see Luna in front of me
"I was there when it happened. I saw it all with my own eyes." She looked at me earnestly.
"You have no right to mingle with this, so sh-
"I can't shut down with what's true. Natsume shot your mother." She said with that icky sweet voice
"I don't believe you." I hissed as I turned around and reached for the door
"Take your father's advice. Ask him about it. Just you know, when you come crying, I'll be here. Waiting. Like your mother."
I turned around to face her "You're a sick bitch."
"One more apple martini," I said at the bartender. I drove straight to the bar to cool things off. I've been here about, I don't know, 4? 5? hours now. And I've been chugging on apple martinis ever since.
"Ma'am you've had enough. Do you want to get alcohol poisoning?" The lady bartender said as she placed her arms at her chest
"What the hell do you care?" I snapped
"Wait- You're Mikan Sakura! Now why haven't I noticed you before!" She exclaimed.
I looked at her odd. She looks like a cat to me. Now why hadn't I noticed that before?
"How are you with Natsume? I've heard you're back together! Ohmygod-….."
I let her babble and babble since she's squealing like we're old best friends. I turned on my phone.
Shit. 20 new messages and 25 missed calls.
ALL FROM NATSUME.
I opened my phone and quickly scanned them
Babe, Ruka says you ditched him. I should be angry at you right now.
I AM FURIOUS AT RUKA FOR BEING STUPID. NOW, WHERE ARE YOU?
Damn it! Answer the fucking phone!
Where the hell are you?! Why aren't you answering?!
I should be able to track your phone but I'm guessing it's fucking off!
DAMN IT. WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU
Mikan you know better than to mess with me
There were more from the angry Natsume. My phone lights up, signaling a new message has just arrived.
Babe. I'm worried sick alright? I've searched the streets and Koko and the others are still on it. Please, come home. Love you.
I smiled. Now how could this sweet man possible kill my own mother? Tsk. Nice try for dad and Luna the lunatic to try and poison my mind.
"Hey. St- Just stop blabbering please." I said as I put my hand up. That seemed to do the trick. What is up with this girl?
"What's your name?" I asked
"Ohmygod! Mikan Sakura is asking for my name ohmygod!" She squealed as she jumped up and down.
God she's giving me a head ache.
"Name." I demanded
"I'm Sumire. But my friends call me Permy. They say I look like a cat…" She trailed off
"Okay… Permy…Do y-
"Ohmygosh! You called me Permy! That means you're my friend! Even if I fucking hate that name! I love it no-
"Permy!" I snapped. That shut her up.
"Now..," I continued "Can you give me a ride home?"
Her eyes bulged out of their sockets.
"Ohmygod ohmygod ohmygod! I would love to! My shift's end-
"Okay! Thanks!" I said as I went towards the door.
"I'm sorry. Are you okay?" Permy asked as we drove off
"What? Yeah, yeah I am." I said as I stared out the window. Her car was a Ferrari. What the hell is she doing as a bartender?
"Hey quick question, why are you bartending?" I asked as I looked at her. I noticed she looks surprised at my question… and, nervous?
This is one hella weird girl.
"Um.. you, um.. see… I, uh…" She continued blabbering nonsense like that. I just asked why! And now she looks like she's about to confess a crime!
"Yes?" I pressed
"Um.. I, uh, my friend. Actually, um, m-my f-friend? Owns it, and yeah." She said as she bit her lip
"By the way you said it, you're not even sure if she's your friend." I muttered
After a few hours or so, and a series of me giving directions and her scratching her head, we finally arrived.
"Wow. This mansion is… glamorous!" She squealed
"Yeah, I'm not sure Natsume would love to hear that." I muttered
"Ohmygod! It's so big! Damn it! You're rich!"
I looked at her bewildered "Are you kidding me? You own a Ferrari." I said as a matter of fact.
That seemed to dawn on her and smile sheepishly at me. "Oh. Right. So I'll see around?"
I got out of her car and leaned in the window.
"Thanks for the ride. Yeah, I'll see you."
I quickly turned and walked towards the double doors. I took a deep breath. Well, here goes nothing.
Before I could even touch the handle, the door opened revealing a very angry, yet hot, Natsume.
He pulled me right in and closed the door. He sat me on the couch as he stood in front of me while he pinched his nose bridge.
I gulped.
"Hey." I started.
He looked at me with that stone cold expression.
"Hey? That's what you're telling me?! Fuck, Mikan! We've been searching for you! Where the fuck have you been?!" He roared
"I was at the bar." I said as I looked down, cleverly omitting my encounter with my dad.
His eyes twitched in irritation "What? Were you so busy as to why you can't even answer that fucking phone of yours?!"
"What the- Why the hell are you so angry?!" I said as I stood up and placed my arms on my hips
"You're seriously asking me that?!"
"What the- I'm not a fucking child Natsume! I clearly know my own decisions! And my I turned off my phone, fyi! You said you searched for me? Well wow, you didn't even peer into a bar to do that? That-
I couldn't continue my speech anymore as I felt his lips moving roughly and urgently against mine.
I hooked my hands on his neck as the kiss deepened. From rough, it became romantic and passionate.
He slowly lifted me up, making me wrap my legs around his torso. He started walking up the stairs, and soon enough, I felt my back hit the bed.
I raked my fingers through his hair as his hands roamed around my body. His hands massaged my behind making me moan in pleasure. I started unbuttoning his shirt as I felt him trail kissed in my chest. It was then that I realized that I was already topless. My bra was also removed. I didn't even feel it.
How the hell did he do that?!
He carried me and positioned my head to the pillows. I slowly kneeled and kissed him long enough for him to not realize that he was already underneath, and I was on top.
"Nice move." He said huskily. God, that's hot.
I fumbled my fingers towards his pants and swiftly removed them. I massaged my fingers into his growing bulge beneath his boxers as I heard him groan
"Easy baby," He groaned
"So, are you still angry at me?" I asked innocently as I straddled him
"Yes." He said as he glared at me
"Are you really still?" I cooed as I went towards him, nudging my boobs into his face
"Yes." He said a little too weakly
"Well, let's do something about that shall we?" I smirked as I leaned into him and bit his earlobe. This was his weakest spot.
I heard him groan in his throat as his hands fidgeted with my waist.
"M-mikan," He groaned
"Yes baby?" I asked as I continued to tease him
"F-f-fine, y-you made y-your p-point." He said as his eyes fluttered. Wow Natsume. You being weak sends out my inner goddess alive.
"And I love you too." I smirked as I removed his boxers. I –
Knock! Knock! Knock!
I was surprised to the point that I fell of the bed. Who the fuck was that?!
"Damn it!" Natsume roared. He quickly zipped his pants up and headed towards the door. I wrapped myself in the blanket and made myself comfy.
"Natsume! Open up! Op-
"WHAT?!" Natsume roared as he opened the door wide enough for me to see who it was.
Oh. Koko, Ruka, and Tsubasa. Damn these assholes. They sure know how to ruin a moment perfectly!
"Ha-
"SHE'S FUCKING HERE!" Natsume snarled. Tsubasa peered in the room as I meekly waved at him
"Oooh. I get it. Shoot Koko! He knocked!" Tsubasa sickered
"What? I didn't Ruka told me too!" Koko said as he put his hands up
Ruka glared at them. Tsubasa was about to retort when Natsume slammed the door in their face.
He cussed under his breath and made his way on top of me.
"Now, where were we?" He smirked as he licked the top set of his teeth.
I was in on one hell of a night.
