Chapter 14 – An addition to the family?
"Allen? Dare (as in who)?"
"Um… Err… My brother…" she turned away flustered, with her brother's last words ringing in her head. 'Jeeze, what's his problem. We're not THOSE kind of people.'
"Everything alright?" Yuu questioned, jolting Allen out of her train of thoughts.
"Err… Yeah everything's fine!" she assured and flashed that Grammy award winning smile.
"So… What did he say?" Yuu prompted.
"They're coming."
"Your parents?"
"Yeah. Them and my pain-in-the-ass brother."
"What for?"
"Ahem… They want to make sure we get the deed done."
"…"
"What? You though you could get away with it?" Allen teased.
"Che, sort of expected it."
"Yeah right."
"So what's with you going so red?"
"Huh? What? I'm not" suddenly being aware that the blush hadn't disappear, she huffed and went off in search of her room to change since she ALSO realised that she was still in her pyjamas which consisted of a very loose white top and slacks.
Not really bothering to care about what that was about, Yuu headed in the direction of the garden/meadow. Its been a while since he'd garden since his parents had forbidden him to do many things, practically all of them were what he loved doing.
Thing were going to be boring right now since the couple couldn't do anything too intimate for fear of Camille walking in on them and probably ratting them out to Allen's parents and boy, both of them were going to get it big time from Allard. Allen KNEW it. This is why she wanted to avoid Yuu as much as possible during this period of time so as to not give in to temptation. Of course, on the outside, she was just plain avoiding him, which in turn, made Yuu really curious towards her behaviour.
Wondering what could have made Allen react this way, he dismissed the thought since whatever Allard had told her, he didn't want to hear any part of it unless necessary. So he decided to let Allen settle it herself and drown in the freedom while he had it before getting Allard as his brother-in-law and annoying the hell out of him while his sister complex antics. Then again, Yuu should thank his lucky stars that Allard was even allowing him to tie Allen to him. Then his thoughts travelled back to his family back at England, wondering what chaos was ensuring at pitied Yui having to tough it out. "Humph. She's probably going to kill me."
"Hm? Who's going to kill you?" it was only when someone's voice rang from behind that he realised that he'd said the last part out loud and that he'd been watering a specific plant for too long and it looked like it was going to die of an overdose of H2O.
"Che, what are you doing out here? It's really hot."
"Speak for yourself, you're out here gardening. In summer. I didn't even know you had green fingers."
"Humph. You still don't know much about me huh?"
"As do you." She smiled warmly. "So let's just enjoy the freedom we have while being away from our family."
"Good. So I can finally cut the formal crap out of the way. You have no idea how hard it is to act nice and polite all the time."
"Wow I didn't know you had such a bad attitude kind of mindset."
"Why? Changed your mind?" Yuu challenged.
"As if. I'd never been a fan of the polite way. I just had to act like a lady and the delicate person I'm supposed to be so they wouldn't be so concerned about what I do since they would think I'm being sensible and making the right choices blah blah blah… You know, I really could go on. "
"I'm glad you didn't."
"I know~ I'm such a nice person right?"
"Che."
"Awww… Anyways, let sit down and enjoy the heat before going back in." Allen sat down and smiled at Yuu, while patting the ground beside her.
Yuu complied and sat down while Allen scurried to Yuu's open arms. (awkward moment for the author… seriously WHY am I writing this?)
And just like that they watched as twilight approached. The orange summer sun slowly setting beneath the horizon. All was peaceful until Yuu went in an annoyed voice, "Moyashi, stop playing with my hair."
"Its ALLEN. Jeeze… And I'm not playing with your hair." Allen held up her hands to prove her point.
"Huh. I feel something pulling at my hair."
Allen twisted her neck around to see what that 'something' was and in fact, it was a cute little ball of fur swishing its paw at Yuu's ponytail that hung quite close to the ground when he was seated. "Aww!!! Kawaii!!!" she cooed.
"Che." Knowing that Allen wouldn't say what it was when she's in a cooing state, he turned around to see what caught her attention.
What greeted -and annoyed- him, was a small brown kitten that looked up at him with soft chocolate eyes, since its plaything went out of sight when Yuu swished hair away.
"Ew…"
"What? Don't tell me you're afraid of a cat!" she picked up the cat and put it in front of his face.
"I'm not. I just really dislike them." He backed up.
"Why?"
"I don't need a reason. I just do."
…
"Well, I guess we should head inside now. The sky's already dark and I'm hungry!" Allen smiled sheepishly.
Her reply was just a nod while Yuu stood up and brushed dirt away from his apparel. Allen followed suit and when Yuu started his stride back, Allen bent down and picked up the kitten and cuddled it when walking back to the house.
"You're NOT bringing that along."
"Come on, have a heart. We'd at least have to find its family first. The meadow was so big it must have gotten lost. We can't possibly leave it out here to starve right?"
"Che, do what you like…"
Allen smiled at her triumph for this round. She was determined to get him to love cats. How can he not love such a cute animal? Allen started to think about how Yuu would love this cute little kitten that when they'd found its family, he would want to adopt the whole litter of cats! Won't that make the family lively?
However, before she should think about this there was the all important deed of actually getting married first. She sighed. Yuu was already far ahead and she quickened her pace to match up his.
"Ne, Yuu?"
"What."
"What do think we're having for dinner?"
"Che. Probably everything Camille can cook." He smirked when he saw Allen's cheek tinged with colour.
A/N: I hope this chapter turned out alright o.o sorry it took so long. I'm having common tests now and tomorrow's the last day! But after that I probably wouldn't be using the com anymore cause it have the End-of-Year exams coming up and since I'm in Secondary 2, I have streaming… T.T I'm kind of in a dilemma. I don't know if I wanna take triple sciences or be an art student cause I can't have both. D: oh well… Reviews? =D They would truly help!!
