A/N- I just wanted to let everyone know, I have been working my way back through to fix spelling errors. I don't always get a chance to proof what I type up before I post because I have been trying to get them out before work. My keyboard is stupid so sometimes it doesn't let me hurry or it really messes me up. But I do try to fix it so if it is bad, wait for a day or 2 and then go back and read again. Also, I won't be taking any more suggestions for this story because I have finished writing it and I will be typing and posting it each morning until it is done.

It was 9:45 and I had just woken up. I had slept fitfully because my brain kept replaying last nights confession over and over in my mind. Takumi had told me that he loved me. I have known for a long time that he had feelings for me, but I didn't realize how strong they were.

I sat up and glanced around the room. I had only been here for 4 nights but this room was already familiar to me. This bed was soft and welcoming. The shower was amazing. The decor was items and colors that I would pick for myself.

I could see myself living here and that made me nervous. This was not my room, nor my apartment, and yet I feel as if I belong here. But, I am here to take care of Takumi only. It doesn't seem like I help him much though.

When Takumi is around, it seems like he does more for my benefit than I do for his. Maybe my lack of caring more for his medical issues is the reason that he had anomalous readings in his testing. I am a failure when it comes to being a nurse. My mom would be disappointed if she knew.

But now that Takumi has told me his true feelings, it is even harder for me to not be embarrassed around him. Taking care of him isn't easy. But it also seems like he wants the company more than the physical help. Maybe I should just tell him some of this and get it off my chest.

I decided that I had lazed in bed long enough so I got up and dressed for the day. Since it was already later in the morning, I knew Takumi would be up and wide awake. I entered the living room to silence. I gazed around the room and noticed Takumi's bedroom door was still shut.

Maybe he was in the shower. I walked to the door and listened. I did not hear water. Instead I hear the sound of Takumi's voice.

"Yes, I know that I should tell her. She is worried enough as it is though. I don't want to put more stress on her shoulders."

He paused as he listened to someone on the other end and then continued. "I understand that, but how can I tell her that? She will be mad that I didn't tell her sooner." Another silence ensued and I heard nothing but a few 'uh huh's' and 'mhmm's' for what seemed like forever. Finally his voice broke the silence again.

"So that is the results? It's as I figured. I could tell all along but I was hoping that the news would be different."

*silence*

"That soon? I can't just wait for a few more days?"

*silence*

"I understand. Do we need to meet up to take care of it how?"

*silence*

"Well I am sure I can manage. I wish I could last for 2 more days before I have to break the news to her. She will be so mad that I lied."

*silence*

"Well when I am gone, I hope she can understand."

I was so shocked by all that I had just heard, that I couldn't listen to anymore. Takumi was dying. And he had lied to me and told me he was fine. He confessed his love to me. He made me believe for just one second, that maybe he and I, could be something to each other. My brain could not contain all this information anymore and I could feel it slowly seep from my eyes. How could I fall for someone who would leave me just like every other man in my life?

Wait... fall for? Have I really fallen for him? For a long time now, he has kept my secret about me being a maid. He has helped me get rid of the Ayuzawa school when I had to get to work and he also makes sure the three idiots don't go overboard. He even helps in the kitchen at Maid Latte when we are short handed.

Takumi does so many things to make sure that I am happy. And what do I give him in return? I yell at him and make snide comments to him. I've even punched him a few times. Instead of walking away and finding someone different, he goes out of his way to follow me, make me smile and even make me mad.

He even jumped off the roof of the damn school because he wanted to help me keep my secret. Instead of repaying him with kindness, I am hateful. Now, he finds out he is dying and his concern is that he lied to me and he is leaving me. How selfless. Well I am not going to let it end that way. I am going to make the time he has left the best of his life.

I went and changed into one of the few dresses that I own. I am going to take Takumi on a date and make him the happiest he has ever been. I went back into the living room after I was done changing. Takumi was munching on a piece of toast.

"Hey Takumi? Let's go have lunch nd then see a movie. Then we could go to the arcade and even get dessert after. Something we can share perhaps? Then we could come back here and maybe play some chess."

Takumi was staring at me with a confused look on his face and he looked like he wanted to say something. He shook away the shock of my words and a smile crept to his face. "Aww, Misa-chan wants to go on an all day date with me? I would love to spend the day with you."

"Great, how about we go? This is going to be a day you will never forget... as long as you live."

Takumi looked at me as I said those words and a crinkle formed in his usually need facade. As quickly as his smile had faltered, it was put right back in place. I grabbed his hand and we walked to the door. We made our way out for the day and I made sure to keep my mind focused on Takumi's happiness.
