Chapter 5
Feelings

While the other students are talking of what they're going to do, Serena
and Mamoru is still not talking and just looking at the other students.

'We can't stay this way forever.' they both thought.

Serena stand properly as well as Mamoru.

"Umm.I think," they both said. Both of them chuckled a little bit.

"You first." Said Mamoru politely.

"Ok.what am I gonna say is that, if we're going to work together we need to be civilize." Serena said not looking at his face, actually looking down.

"I see, so what you mean is that no more friendly banter?" he said with a
mocking voice looking straight at her.

She looked up to his face "Yes! Especially that! If we're going to be partners you need to hush your mouth and stop making fun of me." She said
while her big blue eyes gets bigger.

He really just admires her. "Ok I will not make fun of you," he said.

"Promise?" she said looking at him.

"Promise.until this is over." He said with his right hand on his chest and
bowed.

"Well I hope you'll take your promise seriously." She just said.

And with that, the bell rang that means the class is over.

"We didn't even started yet.." Serena said when she saw their classmates
moving to get out of the room.

"Do you have another class after this?" he asked.

She looked at him puzzled. "Why'd you asked?"

"Well, I was thinking, if you don't have a class after this we can talk
about the project at lunch." He said meaningfully.

"Are you asking me out for lunch?" Serena said questionably.

"Something like that.well?" he said.

She walked towards the door. "Why are you just standing there? Come on!"

Mamoru didn't absorbed quickly what she said but when she heard the last
two words she'd said he immediately followed her.

They went to the canteen and seated oppositely facing each other.

"Your paying right?!" Serena asked mockingly.

"Of course! I never let women pay my dues. I'm a one true gentleman." He
said grinning.

"Gentleman my a .." not finishing her word because he put his index finger
over her lips, that surprised her.

"Ah-ah-ah, don't say bad words." He said not removing his finger. 'Wow.Her lips are so soft.' He didn't notice that he's actually rubbing his finger
to her lips.

Serena on the other hand, was feeling a little bit uncomfortable of what he's doing. 'What the hell?! I hope he moves his finger away from my lips this day or maybe he can try right now!' ' I can't take it anymore.I have to do something.' "Uhh.I think.you.uhh.take your finger somewhere else."
She said putting his hands away.

"I.umm.sorry.I'll order now." Mamoru said standing and went to the counter.

'Again, he didn't asked me of what I want.' she thought smiling. She watched him as he ordered them food, and remembering what just happened. 'Well.that was a mouthful; I mean this is the first time we really touched each other. Duh! He touched my lip, that's the only thing that happened!
But I felt like we connected.'

Then Mamoru looked back at Serena and he caught her looking at him, immediately she took her eyes off of him. He smirked and thought about what happened just a while ago. 'Man.what's wrong with me? I mean why did I do
that? It's like my hands had a life of it's own.but her lips are to die
for.'

"Excuse me sir here's your order." Said the clerk.

"Oh! Thanks." Mamoru said kind of blushing. Then he walks towards their
place.

"Mmm.that smells good. You know eating is my favorite hobby of all." Serena
said looking at the food in front of her.

"Yeah, it's obvious right? Just the way you look at the fries and burger,
it's like you're all going to eat them at once." He said teasingly.

"Are you saying that I'm glutton person? For your information, I just love food and that's all! I thought you're not going to make fun of me anymore?"
She said while eating the fries.

"I'm not making fun of you. I'm just joking, besides you reminds me of my
dog Husky." He said.

"What do you think of me? A dog? I'm like a dog to you?" She said
mockingly.

"No, what I'm sayi'n is that your cute and I like you." He said.

Serena was surprised of what he just said. 'Did I heard him right? Did he
just said he likes me?'

Mamoru was also surprised of what he just said to her. 'Did I really just
told her I like her?'

Serena gulped then she spoke. "You like me?" She said not clearly and
looking down to her soft drinks, but Mamoru understood it.

"I guess so. I mean, I think.no, I mean I do like you." He said slowly
looking at Serena straight.

Serena blushed, but still not looking at Mamoru. 'What the hell am I gonna say? Maybe this is just an awkward dream.I mean, why me?' she didn't notice
that she just said what she thought and Mamoru heard it.

"You don't have to say anything." He said grabbing her hands.

Serena was surprised when he reached for her right hand, she tried to pull it away but her hands won't let her, like her own hands have a life of it's
own. She looked at Mamoru straight. 'He never looked at me that way
before.like he wants to protect me.' And with that thought she blushed.

Mamoru brushed her face with his other hand while his other hand is still holding her right hand. "You know, in all the person I know you're the most beautiful woman that blushes like that." He said with his charming smile.

And with that said Serena blushed more. "Don't do that, you make me blush
more." She said looking down.

"Don't do what? Saying that you're the most beautiful woman in the world?"
He said holding her chin and looking straight at her big blue eyes.

Serena looked at his dark eyes. "Yes that, because it's not true you're just saying that, then you're going to make fun of me." She said and moving
away her chin and her hands from him.

"No, no, no." He said and taking her hands again but now both hands. "I'm
not joking or making fun of you, I'm serious. From the first time I met you, the time when you called me psycho, since that moment when you glared at me, the way you fought back when I make fun of you I like all of that about you." He said not taking his eyes of her. "All I'm saying is that I'm
falling for you."

Serena was shocked of what he just said. "You're falling in-love with me?"

"Yes." He said.

She took her hands away from him. "You can't.I mean your not.you don't know me that well. Besides, I don't know you that much.all I know is that you're
a jerk."

And with that Mamoru laughed hard. "Yes I admit that I'm a jerk sometimes but that's how I am when I like somebody.I don't show my feelings until I'm
sure I like someone." He said looking straight at her.

"Well you really have a way of showing it." She said mockingly.

"I'm sorry of all the 'not so good things' I did to you. All I want you to know is that all I said is true. I don't want you to answer if you like me or not. I'll give you time. As you've said we still don't know each other
that well." He said assumingly.

Serena is just looking at him still can't believe of what's happening. "You
know, you surprise me." She said.

To Be Continued.

A/N: I know there is no thrill on this one it should be pg-13 or maybe g. I know, I know. Sorry, I guess I want to slow things a little bit between them you know? And again I sucked big time on this one. I apologize. By the way, I'm sorry if I didn't updated this sooner its just that I'm loosing thoughts.I mean I don't know what's next.I find it hard to think of a story.but basically in this chapter I don't find it hard because this happened to me so I can relate to it. Anyway, I know you don't care. Well once again I'm going to say that: "This is my work, and I don't give a fuck who'll read it as long as I'm writing what I want in this flick. Aight?! Peace out! ("
