The Reporter and the Detective

AN: Ok, the long waited fourth chapter! What will happen between Asuka and Meimi? I'm feeling sick, so, don't blame me if this chapter is short! Ok! On with the fic!

Chapter 4

"I'm uh.............." Asuka took a breath. "I'm in love with you."
Meimi's smile fell and looked shocked as she heard Asuka say those words. "W-wh-what?!"
"I'm in love with you." Asuka answered, more sure then anything now.
"Y-Y-You're in love with me?" Meimi asked, thinking it was a lie. Asuka nodded. He began driving to the restaurant. "I'm in love with you too.............."
"What?"
"You heard me."
Asuka smirked. "Change of plans..........." Asuka drove to his apartment. He stopped in the front, got out of the car, went around the car, opened the passenger door, picked Meimi up, and carried her to his apartment.
"Asuka jr.! What are you doing we're supposed to meet Liana and Sawatari at Cafe' France'! We can't ditch them!" Asuka opened the door. "Asuka jr.! We have to-" The noise was unheard by the door closing.

Sawatari tapped his fingers impatiently on the table. "Where are they!? They were right behind us!"
"I think I know where they are and what they're doing..........." Lina giggled.
"What? What are they doing?" Sawatari asked.
"With your previous likings to Meimi, you don't want to know." Lina answered.
"Ya, ya. But I like you now." Sawatari said. Lina's eyes widened.
"You only like me?" Lina put in the fake water works. "I thought you loved me."
"I do! Anyway, what are Meimi and Asuka Jr. doing?" (AN: Men can be so insensitive sometimes!) Sawatari wanted to know badly.
"It's hard to explain......." Lina then raised her eyebrows and Sawatari 'finally' understood.
"Ok............ What should we eat?"

Meimi woke up in the very familiar place but with a very unfamiliar feeling. She looked next to her expecting Asuka to be next to her, but in his place was a note.

"Meimi,

Sorry, but I had to get back to the office. Sawatari took your place so you have the rest of the day off. Please stay and I'll make dinner for both of us. I love you.

Love,
Daiki."

Meimi smiled and looked next to her and saw her clothes folded neatly next to her on a chair. She put her clothes on and got out a rubber band that was in her pocket to put her hair up in a ponytail.
'I think I will cook tonight.' Meimi thought as she put on her shoes, brushed her hair to make it look decent, then put the ponytail up.
She walked out the door and closed it, hoping no one would know the door was open. She walked down to the market and got a box of spaghetti noodles, a can of tomato sauce, ground beef, onions, and wine. She bought the things and carried the bags to the apartment. She went into the kitchen and got out two pots and a baking pan. She filled the pot with water and filled the other pot with sauce. She began rolling the meatballs and putting them on the pan. After she was done with the meatballs, she began cutting the onions. The clock finally struck five and Meimi looked up.
'Oh no!!! He's going to be here any minute! I'm not done!' Meimi set up the table and poured two wine glasses with wine and put two plates and two forks on the table as well. She poured the sauce into a large bowl and put a large spoon in it. The door began opening and she moved her head to look at the opening door to see Asika jr. in the doorway.
