Natsume POV:
So much had gone on the passed week, I hadn't had the chance to see Mikan. Luckily, Imai helped me build a case against Kounji. Today would be my first day off in the week.
I walked in the house to find Mikan and Her friends sitting on the sofa.
"I'm hoping you reconciled, if not, I just walked into a war"
"We reconciled" Mikan said making me smile. Every time I saw Mikan, I just had to smile.
"How can you say that there is nothing going on between you guys" Shouda blurted out.
"How can you lie to me for so long?" Mikan asked sarcastically.
"Touché"
"Okay… I hate to interrupt whatever this is, but I need to speak to Mikan" I said.
"I need to go back to work anyway" Imai said standing up. The rest of the girls soon followed after.
"What did you want to talk about?" Mikan asked, attempting to stand up normally.
"Just fidget, its easier and hilarious" I said smirking. She glared before eventually getting up.
"What did you want to talk about?" Mikan asked.
"Well, I wanted to know if you would go out on a date with me" I said smiling.
"I, uh, date?" She paused "okay"
"Okay?" I asked. She nodded "okay"
"I'm going to take a bath" She said smiling before walking off.
Mikan POV:
The water soothed everything. The day had been hectic and a bath was just what I needed.
Natsume asked me out on a date. I was surprised. I knew we were leading up to something like that but I didn't know that it would be that quick. It caught me by surprise.
After getting out of the tub, I took out the plug and walked to my room to find Natsume standing there.
"I guess we're even" He said looking at me, smirking. It took me a while to figure out what he was smirking at. I forgot the towel. I quickly ran back into my bathroom, grabbing the towel and wrapping it around myself.
"Why are you here?" I asked.
"I came to ask you something" He said, still smirking.
"If it was about a date, you already asked" I smirked.
"Funny. No, what are you doing tomorrow evening?"
"Nothing"
"You are now. The company is having it annual gala to raise money for charity, which is decided by vote and announced at the end of the night. I've been pretty busy, so I forgot. You're my companion for the evening"
"Wouldn't I be you're date?"
"No because I don't want our first date to be there" He said.
"Well, I'll be your pregnant lady friend" I said smiling.
"Okay" He smiled.
"Can you stop smiling like that? I prefer to stay standing" I said turning back into my closet.
I heard him chuckle and then heard the door close.
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful and my sleep was even less so. I woke up to find Mr. Bear sat, staring at me.
"Hi handsome" I said smiling at him. He meowed and jumped off of the bed.
"Well okay then" I continued. I sat up and looked around my room. Then it hit me. Beside choosing which room the Baby would be in, we hadn't gotten anything else and it was long until he would be here. I got out of the bed and left the room, heading to the kitchen.
When I got there I saw Natsume sitting at the counter eating some cereal.
"Morning" he mumbled.
"We need to go baby shopping" I said going straight to the fridge.
"We could go today if you want" He said.
"I thought we were going to that charity thing" I said.
"We are but that isn't until 9:00" He said.
"Okay. We'll go in a bit" I said getting out leftover. I didn't care what they were. I just wanted to eat.
After eating I went to my room and got dressed.
I headed downstairs to find Natsume standing by the front door.
"Ready to go?" He asked.
"Yeah" I said once I reached him.
"Then lets go" He said reaching out his hand to me. I smiled and took it.
When we arrived the shop was practically empty. We headed straight to the crib section.
"I like this one" I said point to a nice light wood crib with flower carvings.
"It's for a girl" He said.
"So… I slept in a hand-me down crib that was falling apart" I said admiring the detail.
