I see you guys like the fluffiness, glad you like it. I'm planning to do something along that line until I hit the epilogue. Seriously though, after I'm done with this story. I'm lost; I will have nothing to do anymore. What will I do? I really don't know.

"Takumi!" Misaki shrieked as she waved her hand in front of Takumi's glossy eyes. She narrowed her eyes before walking towards him and screaming into his ear. Takumi winced as he rubbed his ear.

"Ouch, that actually hurt Misa-Chan." He said with a smile still sticking to the nickname. Misaki stared at him, her onyx eyes blazing, she clenched her jaw but shook her head and washed the plates. Takumi smirked to himself, he enjoyed teasing her and making her bush. He hugged her back and buried his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling her scent of oak and pine trees. Misaki froze as she felt his hot breath on the back of her neck.

"As much as I would love to keep you with me all day, I have to report back to the office today." Takumi said with a sigh as his lips brushed her neck. Misaki felt her heart race, the close proximity she had with him at this given moment was enough to make her cheeks burn.

"I don't see why I can't visit you later Takumi. Who knows? Now off to work you lazy butt." Misaki said as she spun around placing her hands on his broad shoulders. She was definitely not the timid, violent and flustered girl she was back then. She was cool-headed and her eyes were unreadable, the business world had sharpened her mind and she saw things differently now. Takumi smirked to himself, she was still as feisty as ever but when it came to relationships or physical contact, he was surprised greatly at her boldness. He not only lost his edge of culinary skills to her but he also lost his power over her to make her squirm and blush. To say that he was surprised was the biggest understatement of the century.

He had the most difficult task to complete, make Misaki Ayuzawa marry him.

He loves her and she loves him back but he was not going to risk the chance of losing her all over again. He is not going to screw this up, the old man was dead and long forgotten his parents loved him with all their heart. The only missing piece to his life was her and he wasn't going to risk losing her. Takumi for one was new at this, he never understood love deeper than just a feeling. He doesn't want to hurt her anymore, if he had to wait his whole life for her to say yes. He was absolutely willingly to as long as she didn't leave him as long as she is happy. He always thought that he was one selfish bastard but love itself was the most selfish thing he had done in his god-damn life.

He got into the shower and did his daily routine quietly as he mused to himself. The door of the bathroom creaked open and as quickly as it creaked open it was slammed shut. A string of expletives were heard coming from behind the door as the person tried but failed miserably trying to creep away. Takumi chuckled to himself as he tied a towel at his waist and dried his blonde hair. He stepped out of the bathroom half-naked (OMG!)and he opened the closet to take out his clothes that he had kept for emergencies, if this isn't an emergency he didn't know what the hell an emergency is. He took out a button down and buttoned the buttons loosely before tying a tie. He slipped on his pants and headed downstairs. He caught sight of a flustered Misaki staring out the window her cheeks a shade of pink. He leaned on the doorway of living room.

"I'll take that you liked what you saw?" Takumi said with a deep voice that would send girls swooning. If there was any reaction at all, Misaki jumped but kept her eyes at everywhere except on him and her cheeks turned a deeper shade of pink.

"I can show you more if you would like." He said suggestively as he started to undo his tie when Misaki sprinted to his side and stopped his hands still not looking at him, her cheeks had officially turned into the deepest shade of red possible. She looked so cute when she was flustered, it took every once of self-control for Takumi to avoid pouncing on her.

"Don't be an idiot, just go to work... I'll head home right after you leave." Misaki said quietly still not meeting his gaze. Takumi gently lifted her chin forcing her to look to his mesmerizing eyes.

"Since when did you remove your contacts? I thought you liked your eye color to be blue, but I like your eyes without contacts. The color Amber is my favorite color and my favorite word is Misaki, so that you know." Takumi said with a wink as he grabbed his brief case and left for work still smiling to himself as he kept the image of a blushing Misaki in his mind. Misaki stood there dumbfounded, she opened her bag and dug around for her contact lenses that was when she realized that she had left them at home and she sighed to herself. She had to head to work too so she headed to his bathroom and took a good look at herself in the mirror.

There was life in her eyes and she had to admit that she liked her normal eye color compared to the artificial azure blue ones that made her feel like a porcelain doll. She wasn't going to return to England anytime soon she must as well not wear contacts they tend to irritate her eyes. She twirled a loose strand of blonde hair and decided to keep it. She stepped into the shower and got ready for work, when she got out from the shower she stopped dead in her tracks.

She had to wear the clothes that she wore yesterday, there was no way Nanami would let her live this down if you entered office in the clothes she wore yesterday. She called her driver to drive over as she didn't have her car nor her car keys either while waiting she read the celebrity news that she was inclined to keep up with to avoid ridiculous scandals and to keep up with the public sentiments. When her eyes skimmed across an article.

Walker Ball Postponed

Due to the CEO of the Sanzenin Co-operations. Misaki-Heidi Sanzenin. Recent sustained injuries, the Walker Company had decided to push back the event till the middle of December to allow the CEO of the second largest global group to recover. The public is all wondering what happened? Rumors and theories are flying all over the internet. The Walker Ball will take place on the actual day of the Winter Solstice.

What is the whole truth behind it?

Misaki scoffed, right now it was in the middle of Summer. The Walker ball is in Winter and here they are making a big fuss out of it. Misaki groaned at the thought of reporters and paparazzi crowding around her at major events. She was lucky to obtain a restraining order from them on private party, What the hell is wrong with them, it was her life. It's not like she was an actress or something. Why couldn't the world just leave her alone. Her love-life and almost every single little thing was depicted clearly in the media she hated it. Misaki got into the car and instructed the driver to take her home. She quickly slipped on a dress with stilettos and left her house, her mother no matter how serious she looked. If she got wind about Misaki spending a night at Takumi Walker the most eligible bachelor of all times' apartment. Her mother would be squealing like a fan-girl begging for details. Misaki got out from her car and thanked the driver before heading up to her office.

When she turned the door knob of her door she was appalled at the sight of Tora Igarashi sitting on the couch of her office sipping tea while Nanami was arranging papers on her desk.

"Ahhh...Misaki finally decided to come to work eh?" Tora said with a smug look. Misaki rolled her eyes and went to put her things onto her desk before sitting down on the couch opposite him.

"Tora? What do you want?" Misaki said as she sipped her tea. Tora looked at her and shrugged his shoulders.

"Wanted to check if you were still in one piece and for you to sign this." He said as he placed a thick file on the coffee table. Misaki rolled her eyes and muttered,

"You have gotten your secretary to send this to me." Tora smirked his eyes glinting with his usual cheekiness. Misaki shooed the annoying bastard out of her office and looked out of her window. Tora wasn't much of a jerk really he just needed someone to put him in line and the rumors state that his arranged fiance Chiyo Sakurai had the power to keep any man in line. Misaki was curious to meet her to find out if she lived up to her name, if this 'Chiyo" could charm Tora who was like a solid block of ice. She would have him wrapped around her pinkie. Misaki smiled, Tora deserved this.

She would definitely enjoy this...Her smile turned into a smirk as she observed the busy city life of Japan.

Chiyo and Tora sitting on a tree!

K-I-S-S-I-N-G

New pairing and Tora is in one hell of a ride. Misaki and Takumi are just going to stand aside and be snuggly while they watch Tora get tormented. :)
