*no Author's note for today*

Chapter Fourteen

"Pleasant day, eh Grandfather."

"Gerard, what brought you here?" the Duke diverted his gaze from the window of his office into his grandson who recently surprised him. He was supposed to be in Japan planning a merge with one of the most well-known oil company.

"I just wanted to accompany my brother. Is it true that he's getting married though?"

"It depends on some circumstances but since he's already too eager with the marriage maybe that just might be what will happen."

"He's eager?" Gerard didn't see that coming. He never thought Takumi was that serious about this whole marriage thing. And honestly, it's pissing him off how immature his brother's way of thinking is-how he could just run away from such a small problem such as not having an apology from Misaki.

"He was asking tons of questions about what would happen after the marriage day whether he could still live in Japan and things like that."

The younger smiled. Scratch the previous accusations. Guess Takumi just can't seem to stay away from his girl.

"Grandfather, do you have some time to spare with you?"

"Certainly. Lunch will be served still an hour from now. You must be hungry after the flight. You came a long way. You should eat with us."

"Of course I'll eat with you but first, let me tell you a story-a really good one."

. . . . .

Ring…Ring…Ring…

"Ughhh…" Misaki groaned as she lazily rolled off bed and landed face first on the floor before she reached out her hand and tried feeling her annoying phone that has woken her up from her sleep. "This better be good." She sat up on the floor and answered.

"Hello?"

"Misaki?"

"Mom?!"

"Yes, it's me. So, how did yesterday go? You sound tired. Did you two do 'it'?"

"What's 'it'?"

"Oh, you know, cuddling in bed and stuffs like that." Minako sniggered which was totally supposed to be misappropriate for her age.

"Mom! I'm still too young for that!"

"You're already in the legal age. I want to see grandchildren soon."

"We're not even married," Misaki mumbled. Yeah, how can they have children when he's getting married with someone else? Early in the morning and the thought of Usui already ruined her mood. Oh how we wish he would just day or maybe just poof out of this world back to his home planet. That alien's nothing but trouble for her.

"Okay, so tell me, how did it go?" Minako giggled from the other line like some crazy delusional teenage girl.

"He left."

The older lady stopped giggling when she noticed the bitterness coming from her daughter's voice. "He walked out on you during your confession?"

"No. I didn't get to see him. He wasn't there when I went to his office. He left for England…for good."

"What?!"

"Yeah, yeah. There's no need to be shocked, Mom. He doesn't like me anyway. He doesn't want to see me anymore. That's why he left."

"That is not possible! Maybe he just had some business to do there and will come back a few days from now. You have to learn to think positively especially at times like this."

"I already said 'for good' meaning he's staying there." And he's getting married for Pete's sake!

"But what about you?"

"What about me?"

"What will you do then?"

"Nothing. His brother offered to take me to England with him. I refused."

"Why? That could be your chance to bring him back home-to you."

"That could count as a joke. Stop being funny, Mom. There's no point in going there. I mean, what's the use of running after when your finish line is constantly avoiding you. He doesn't want to be with me. Besides, I realized that we just weren't meant to be and I already accepted that fact."

"Misaki…"

"It's okay, Mom. There's no need to pity me. I'm good. I'm actually going to work now. I'll call you later this evening. I love you. Bye."

Misaki put down her phone and smiled bitterly to herself.

"I never knew I practiced masochism until now."

. . . . .

"Knock knock knock. Wakey-wakey, dear brother. It's already noon," Gerard enthusiastically said as he set aside the curtains for sunlight to enter Takumi's room. He's like a hibernating bear stuck in a cave judging from the darkness in his room. The atmosphere seems so dull and he, as a brother, would not let that go on. Well, what can you say? He's fishy. He just wants everything to go his way and by everything, he means Takumi's love life. His plan is going according to plan. He never knew playing matchmaker could be this fun until now.

Takumi only groaned and covered himself fully with the blanket. "Not now."

"Grandfather was asking me to wake you up so the three of us could have lunch together."

"Tell him I'm not hungry."

"Oh c'mon, what would Misa say if she finds out you're starving yourself to death?"

"Right, what would she say," Takumi sarcastically replied as he sat up in bed and rubbed his eyes. Gerard smiled. He knew the mere mention of Misaki is useful enough to make his stupid brother get up. Takumi sure is becoming more and more predictable nowadays.

"She's worried about you, you know."

Usui snickered at his brother's words. "Yeah, like that would happen."

"Want to watch some television or some live show? I brought some tape you might like."

"Shut up and get out of here."

"Ceddy," Gerard called out to his butler who immediately went inside the room carrying a laptop which he placed on Usui's bed.

"What's that?"

"A gift for you."

"Don't mess with me, Gerard."

"I'm sure you'll love it. Play it, Ceddy."

. . . . .

Misaki Ayuzawa

"Misaki! You're finally back!" Erika greeted me as I walked in the building where she's currently fetching herself a drink in the ground floor's vending machine. It's still a wonder how she dislikes the machine at their floor. I mean, it's just the same food and drink-producing machine, right? Oh whatever, some people are meant to have their weird ways anyway.

"Yeah, I guess I am."

"What happened? You took two days of leave. That's so not you. What's you is someone who never leaves her office as long as there's still a single piece of paper work on her desk. So, what's up?"

"I got sick."

"Don't lie if you can't."

Misaki giggled. How can everyone see through her? Maybe lying just isn't for her just like how Usui isn't compatible with her. Wait, she's thinking about him again! Ughhh! Can't he give her a day off just for today?

Misaki, stop thinking about that idiot. He's not the one for you. You deserve someone better-someone who'll fight for you.

Fight for me…fight for me…

"I might just not fight for you anymore…"

Fuck. Okay! Okay! I get it already! Stop repeating yourself. It's getting really annoying. If this was a story, I'd surely kill the Author (A/N: *gulps*). So what if he said he'll 'fight for me'? It's not like he did it anyway. He succumbed to his Grandfather's wants. What's the 'fight for me' part of that? Why would he even do that? It's not like I'm his real girlfriend anyway or like he feels something for me. He's just an idiot who loves teasing me and an idiot whom I actually came to like. Well, damn myself for that.

"Misaki? Are you alright?" I got back to reality upon realizing Erika was still in front of me, talking or more like ranting about things I didn't hear.

"Huh?"

"You were spacing out."

"Was I? Sorry. Uhmm…So, I'll see you later then. I bet I'll have lots of coping up to do."

"Uhh, sure?"

That jerk. Why can't he just get off my mind and leave me alone? He already left me alone here and I already gave up on him so why can't he just give me some piece of mind? I'm already on the verge of jumping off from this building if he still won't leave my brain alone. And I really have to do something about my sudden spacing out problem.

. . . . .

"Misaki, your friends are here to see you," Erika said as she peeked in from the door with that smile of hers.

"Sakura and Shizuko?"

"Yes."

"Let them in," I replied and stood up to welcome my best friends. I need some accompaniment in order to refrain myself from overthinking about that certain alien. Who knew moving on was this hard?

"Misaki!" Sakura greeted as she tackled me in for a bear hug.

"Oof!"

"Sakura let go. You're choking Misaki."

It's a good thing Sakura listened to Shizuko. I feel like I was dying from that embrace. God, she could kill someone just from hugging. I nodded at Shizuko in thanks for saving me from our crazed hugging friend.

"So, what brought you guys here?"

"Let's have fun!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Sakura and I got these tickets for an amusement park. We thought about using it today. Want to come?" Shizuko explained since Sakura is only capable of telling the minor parts of everything.

"Oh, I'm actually at work."

Sakura pouted. "You're such a killjoy, you know."

"It's not bad to enjoy yourself once in a while, Misaki. Some fun will help clear up your mind from unnecessary thoughts."

"It'll help clear up my mind? From unnecessary thoughts?"

"Yes, why?"

"I'll go then!" Maybe this just me the right way so that I could really stop thinking about that one hell of an idiot who left me by the way. I'll keep on shoving that to myself until I'll get tired of him and Boom! Maybe I'll finally move on. Yes, that's a great plan, Misaki. I always knew I was that smart. Mwahahaha!

. . . . .

"Oh! Cotton candy! Let's buy some! Hurry! Hurry! You guys are so slow!" Sakura exclaimed. She's been like this ever since we stepped foot inside the amusement park. Really, how old is she? She acts like a seven year old girl that's never been in an amusement park before.

"So, Misaki, had fun lately?" Shizuko questioned me as we headed for the cotton candy stand where Sakura is at.

"You bet. I managed to avoid thinking…"

"About Usui?"

"You knew?"

"Sakura told me."

"Oh." They don't know about the fight. All they knew was that I liked Usui. I guess it would be better if I don't let them know just yet. We still have to enjoy this day to ourselves. I can't drag them along to my problems just when we're having fun.

"The blue one's for you, Misaki. Shizuko, you can have the green one and I'll have the orange."

Sakura handed us the cotton candy she bought before we agreed to relax for a bit by a near bench.

"I can't believe I'm having so much fun! I look like a kid!"

"It's a good thing you know that, Sakura," Shizuko remarked. "It's kind of getting embarrassing being with you. We look like your nannies. Sometimes I even have to pretend I don't know you."

"You're mean."

I can't help but laugh at the two who are bickering. Somehow, I realized my friends are already enough. I don't need a man to make me happy (A/N: from a song XD). Just being with these two, I feel satisfied. At least unlike him, they're always by my side.

Oh no, not him again. I'm supposed to forget about him. That's the reason why I agreed with this amusement park thing anyway. Get a hold of yourself, Misaki. You're here to forget.

"Misaki, Shizuko's bullying me!" Sakura complained as she tugged on my sleeve.

"Am not! You're acting childish!"

"Hey stop it you guys. We're here to enjoy ourselves. Arguments aren't allowed for today."

"Hmmmph!" Sakura crossed her arms across her chest and looked the other way while letting out that pout.

"Fine," Shizuko, being calm in nature, agreed easily.

"Now, who's up for some rollercoaster?"

. . . . .

"That was one hell of a ride. Shizuko even threw up," my pigtail-haired friend said as we were waiting for Shizuko outside the restroom. She felt sick after riding the rollercoaster. I never knew that would happen. If I did, I would have taken them to a less nerve-racking ride.

"Yeah, you screamed like a dolphin," I joked.

"I don't look like some water-dwelling animal."

"I never said you looked like one. I only said you make the same piercing sound as that of a dolphin."

"Same thought."

Ring…ring…

"Is that yours, Misaki?"

"Yeah. I'll just take this. You wait for Shizuko. I'll be back in a minute."

I walked away and grab my phone from my bag, flipping it open. The call's from an unregistered number and way deep, deep, deep, deep, deep inside me, I'm hoping it's Usui.

"Hello?"

"And there I thought you wouldn't answer."

"Oh, Gerard…" So much for my useless expectation…

"Yep, it's me. Were you expecting someone else like my brother perhaps?"

"What?! Hell, no! I knew he wouldn't call anyway. You do know he's already engaged."

"So what if he's engaged? It's not like he can't call another girl, right? Especially when that girl is Misa-chan."

"Oh, whatever."

"So, how's it going?"

"Fine. How did you even get my number?"

"Oh just from one of my sources."

"Stalker much? It runs in the blood?"

Gerard chuckled amusingly from the other line. "You are one heck of a woman."

"Whatever. So, what do you want?"

"Can you stop by Walker Inc. building tomorrow?"

"Why?"

"I want to talk about something."

"Can't you just call me?"

"No can't do. It's very important. Your presence is badly needed."

"I'm busy tomorrow. This is my third leave already."

"You left work?"

"Yeah, I'm with my friends at an amusement park. I needed something to take my mind away from any thoughts about your stupid alien of a brother."

I heard Gerard mutter something yet I couldn't distinguish what it was.

"You said something?"

"I-I just said that that's a great idea. You should learn to loosen up."

"I should."

"So, you're free tomorrow?"

"I'll find time."

"Great." Now, what could he be possibly discuss with me? I'm sure that if it's about his plans on taking me to England, I wouldn't even hesitate to choke him to death. I already made up my mind and I'm firm with what I have decided. Let that alien rot to death and may his choice haunt him for the rest of his life. He never even gave me the chance to apologize when I'm already ready to do so. So screw him for that.

After I hang up, I went back to Sakura. Shizuko still hasn't come out. Is she planning to spend the rest of the day throwing up? If only I knew this would happen, I would have not invited them to ride the rollercoaster with me. If only.

"Who called?"

"An old friend."

"Oh." This is what I like about Sakura. She's the most naïve person ever. Whatever you tell her, she'll believe you. She's the only one that can't see through my lies.

"Ughh, I'm not feeling so good," Shizuko mumbled as she finally emerged from the restroom.

"Sorry, it's all my fault."

"It's alright, Misaki. It's also my fault for riding when I knew I have motion sickness."

"Why don't we rest at some café first?" I suggested as I saw a visible café not far from where we're standing.

"Great idea. I badly need something sweet to remove this sour taste from my mouth."

. . . . .

"I guess I'll see you next time. Bye guys!" Shizuko bid farewell as we exited the amusement park. She felt a lot better now and we managed to enjoy ourselves a little more after we ate at the café.

"Bye!" Sakura and I said together.

"I'll be off too then. I still have to watch the show where Kuuga-kun's guesting. It starts at six. Bye, Misaki."

"Yeah, bye."

I guess I'm alone once again.

I immediately went home thereafter. I haven't felt the safety in the confines of my place the other day. All I did was head straight to my bedroom all the time with my emotions getting the best of me. I first stopped by near Usui's door and stared at it for a total of five minutes before heading to my own door.

Wow, moving on is harder than I thought it would be.

I threw my bag in some corner and went over to the couch and crashed myself against its softness when something hard came into contact with my butt instead.

"The hell?!" I fished out the object and was surprised to see a box. No, it's not just a box. It's a present.

Usui? Since when did he come in? He's in England, right?

I stood up and saw that there was a piece of scented paper along with it which was now crumpled due to my weight. I picked up the note that said only one sentence.

'I'm sorry.'

What's he sorry for? Aren't I supposed to be the one apologizing? Or maybe he's sorry for leaving me? Nah, it was his choice, why would he feel sorry anyway? Then what could this mean? He's sorry that the food he left was insufficient? Yeah, maybe it might be that.

Shrugging the thought away, I opened the lid of the box. What lay there was a golden necklace with a heart-shaped pendant that's gilded with emerald stones and in the middle was a topaz that was the same in color as the shades of my eyes. I don't know why but I have this sudden thought of something I imagined Usui to say.

"The emeralds represent me while that topaz is you meaning you'll always be trapped in my heart and I don't have the intention of letting you out."

Yeah, dream on, Misaki. Keep that delusional self of yours active. It'll help moving on, really. And please note the sarcasm.

I grinned while I stared at the piece of jewelry in my hand. Who cares if I'm imagining out of the ordinary?

For sure, this one's expensive. But really, even when he's miles away, he still manages to complete my day. I guess I'll have to reconsider moving on. It's not bad to crush on an engaged person, right?

Me: Mwahahaha! This chapter's shorter. Sorry. The next one MAY BE longer I hope. I don't know. But I'll try since the next chapter's the good part, if you know what I mean.

Sakura: Hi Author-san!

Me: Oh, Sakura, Shizuko, it's good to see you here.

Shizuko: We were just walking by. We're on our way to Misaki. We're inviting her to come to an amusement park.

Me: Eh? *smiles at reader* Okay, so I filmed this before finishing the chapter, so what?

Sakura: Want to come, Author-san?

Shizuko: We only have three tickets, Sakura.

Sakura: Oh right. Sorry.

Me: It's okay. I still have to finish the next chapter anyway. Thanks for inviting me anyway.

Sakura: Anytime, Author-san. Shizuko let's go!

Shizuko: Yeah. See you later, Author-san.

Me: Now that I'm alone once again, I'll do the speech today. *looks at readers again* Please review and give me your comments and corrections. Your review are what keeps encouraging me to update more. I hope I could reach 70 reviews. You'd help me, right?
