Net Lovers Chapter 2: Lies, lies, lies.
"Good morning Mr. Doumyouji!" Tsukushi greeted cheerily as she sat herself down and smiled.
Tsukasa blinked, while holding his file. Twice. Was his secretary actually smiling at him? Did she actually greet him?! Did she?! This bitch who couldn't stand his guts smile at him?!
Tsukushi noticed Tsukasa staring at her in shock and merely beamed back. "Mr. Tsukasa, I am all ready for work! What do you want me to do today?"
Tsukasa took a while to recover before he plonked a thick file in front of her. "Go through these documents and I need another soft copy of them."
"No problem!"
Tsukasa shook his head and turned to go back into his office. He paused before he was about to enter.
"Ms. Makino, are you feeling unwell?" Tsukushi looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"No, not at all Mr. Doumyouji. Have a nice day!" Tsukasa actually tripped when he heard that. Did she just wish him a nice day?! Oh, whatever!

Tsukushi laughed when she saw Tsukasa's reaction to her sudden 'change'. It was hard to blame her for being so happy that morning. After all, after nearly 5 months of online chatting, Brat finally asked her out.
Brat says: Hey, let's go out.
Weed says: o.O!!
Brat says: After all, come to think of it, we've been talking for 5 months yet we have yet to see each other in real life.
Weed says: That's trueâbut still
Brat says: You don't want to see me!
Weed says: But what if you turn out to be some kind of pervert?! Haha.
Brat says: -- I'm sure. Okay, 7pm tomorrow, at
Weed says: Rose café! I lurvvvveee that place!
Brat says: I know. I was about to say that when you so rudely cut in! Haha.
Weed says: Do we need to wear something, like identification purposes?
Brat says: PHUUUULEASE. You think it's some dating?! Course not. Table 5 ok?
Weed says: WOW. You can actually book it?! That's like the best table!
Brat says: smirk smirk I am RICHHHHHHHHH.
And that was a long story cut short. Tsukushi twirled her pen, wondering how Brat would look like. Maybe they would become a couple and go out and who knows? Get married? Tsukushi giggled at she scolded herself for being silly. She caught sight of the thick file that moron had placed in front of her and sighed.
"Earth to Tsukushi. Stupid bastard." She muttered as she proceeded to type away furiously. It wasn't going to help if she had to do overtime.

"Yes, could you deliver that bouquet of roses over as soon as possible? I want them to be as fresh as possible. Yes! I said 108! Gosh, don't you guys have ears?! Get them in NOW!" Tsukasa shouted over the phone before slamming it down. It was a wonder how the florist could still get the order mixed up and totally wrong even though he had repeated it 5 times?! What was wrong with people these few days?
He proceeded to tap away on his computer until a sharp knock rudely interrupted him.
"Come in!" He snapped irritably. Tsukushi entered his office with two thick files and passed it to him.
"Mr. Doumyouji, as you have requested, here are the documents. If there's nothing else, I'll be off." Tsukasa's eyes narrowed as he glanced at his watch. Hell no! It was already 6pm!
"You can go then." He snapped again as he shifted through the whole pile. Tsukushi beamed brightly and walked out, only to collide into a deliveryman.
"OUCH!"
"Sorry. Erm, Mr. Doumyouji? Your flowers." Tsukushi's eyes made big saucers as she saw the roses. RED ROSES. Gosh, her favourite flowers!
"Put them here. Thank you. Ms. Makino, why are you still here?"
"Sorry, I'll be off." As Tsukushi closed the door, she wondered if Brat would give her flowers.

Tsukasa glanced at his watch again. It was 6.55pm. Thank goodness he was able to leave the office early, all thanks to his efficient secetary he admitted secretly. The huge bouquet of roses was put at one side as he re-arranged his tie and all. Gee, why was she taking such a long time to come?
Tsukushi walked hurriedly towards the café around the corner. Gah, she was going to be late. Oh, it was only 6:57pm. There was still time.
"Miss, table for?"
"Oh, my friend's already here, or so I believe." She smiled as the waiter let her pass. Table 5. Her heart was thumping loudly as she proceeded to walk towards the table. She knew where it was. It had been her favourite table at her favourite café. After all, this was where she had met her first boyfriend. It held a lot of memories and Brat knew that.
"Crap, I need to go to the loo." Tsukasa glanced at his watch and looked to see if anyone was walking to his table. He saw no one and scooted off to the toilet.
Meanwhile, Tsukushi smiled and seated herself at table 5. Funny, there was no one. Wait a minute, there were flowers! Red roses! So he remembered! She tried to count them, but she knew that there were 108 in there. Cheeky guy Brat was.
"Miss, would you like to order anything?"
"Um, not yet. Do you know where the gentleman here went?"
"Oh, he went to the toilet."
"Thanks. Um, I'll have two coffees. One sugar cube for one cup and two cubes for the other." Tsukushi knew Brat liked his coffee with two sugar cubes. Funny, she suddenly thought of her boss who liked his coffee done that way. He had given her a tongue lashing when she had forgotten the two cubes one morning.
Don't think of that irritating man! He's a bastard. Instead, Tsukushi focused on happy thoughts. Like Brat.
Just then, Tsukasa emerged from the toilet and headed for the table. Ah, he could see a woman's head from the back. Funny, from the back she resembled his annoying secretary. Right. That stupid woman couldn't be here anyway.
"Boo!" He covered her eyes cheekily. "Guess who I am."
"Stop it you irritating brat!" Tsukushi laughed. WAIT A MINUTE. Why did he sound so bloody familiar?!
Tsukasa stared in shock when he heard the voice. It sounded so much like
He removed his hands and she turned back to look at him.
They merely stared at each other in shock and screamed.
"NOT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
