Guess whose back! ME! Haha, hope you guys had a good holiday. I was stuck hanging around my parents' house being lazy and trying to write the next chapter. Anyway, I'm back at work so I should be able to get this chapter to you soon. I know I said this would be more of Mamoru's POV but I changed my mind. They will switch from one to the other but I will try to make it so you guys understand who is talking.
BTW: I want to personally give thanks to everyone who reviewed because it means a lot that you guys are even reading and enjoying my story. : wipes tears and accepts flowers: I will do my best to get out the chapters quickly because I personally hate it when some authors take months. No fun! Anyway, so thank you to LilMoonGoddess, Delariean, Eva C, Bella Moon, Serena79, Shrouded Mist, and MoonlightShadows. Oh, also, there is a mature rating because I planned on putting in sexual scene or two later. Just bare with me!

'God this girl is something else! She's beautiful, smart and completely infuriating me! She can't look at me for longer then a couple seconds before she looks away with disgust. I have never had to work this hard to win someone over!' "So…how's your food?" I ask. She looks up at me with those gorgeous blue eyes of hers. There so mesmerizing, I could stare into them for hours'.
"The food is good thank you". 'Why does he keep on trying to keep eye contact? Geez, this guy is really creeping me out. I shouldn't be getting so familiar with him anyway though; I mean he is my boss'. I look down and continue to eat my food. 'This is great but I can't let him know I enjoy it though. Maybe I should stop being rude and talk to him. I mean, I haven't given him much conversation to work with. Ah, I'll give it a whirl'. I quickly wipe my mouth and look up. 'Why does he always look at me so intently? Maybe there is something in my teeth! How embarrassing would that be?' After I quickly swipe my tongue over my teeth as discreetly as possible I think of a question to ask.
"Did you start your company by yourself? I mean you look kind of young to be the CEO of a company." 'Oh shit! I can't believe I just asked him that.' A warm heat creeps into my cheeks and I start to blush furiously. I quickly look down so he doesn't see my face.
'How cute, she's blushing'. I quickly wipe my mouth and smile at her. "Actually my father started the company before I was born. I didn't become the CEO until I turned 21." 'She has the best smile. I feel so at peace when I'm with her. Get a grip though Mamoru, you barely know this girl and she is going to be working with you. You know what happened last time you slept with a co-worker, Ann wouldn't stop calling.' I quickly pushed aside the scary thoughts of Ann and went back to Usagi.
'His daddy started the company? He probably isn't even that smart! No wonder he is rich, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth'. I started to smile at him as my mind starts to wander. 'He seems to be so sure of himself, but I bet he has issues he doesn't share with anyone'. I didn't realize that we were both staring at each other until the waiter came up to give Mamoru the check. I quickly looked away and went to grab for my purse. 'Oh shit! I left it in the car. How rude am I that I can't even pretend that I want to pay. This will make it like a date between us!' I started to get up and he quickly looked up at me.
"Where are you going?" 'Not like she can get that far without her luggage.'
"I left my purse in the limo and I wanted to pay for my meal." 'Gosh, Usagi, that sounds so lame! Oh well! I'm an independent woman and I don't need some guy throwing money at me.'
"Don't worry about it." I quickly sign my name on the receipt and grab my coat. As I go to put it on I see that she is trying to see how much her meal cost. 'God, can't this woman let a guy pay for something? Then again, Mamoru you have never had a woman even try to pay her way on a date so this is rather refreshing'. "Don't worry about it Ms. Tsukino, it's on me. Consider it a welcome treat for your new job." I give her a big smile and move aside so she can walk past me. 'What's that expression on her face? Is she mad?'
I quickly walk past my new boss and towards the front of the restaurant. I am trying to calculate how much to give him when I get to the car for my meal. 'I'll be damned if this fucker is going to start doing things for me without my permission. First it's giving me a ride, then lunch, now he is paying for me!' I noticed throughout lunch that many women were looking at us. Even outside they couldn't stop staring at Mamoru and giving me mean looks. 'God, is he that sought after that these women can't stand to see him with other women?' I think to myself. 'You can have him ladies! I don't want him!' I exclaim in my mind. The limo is out front and I quickly get in before the driver can open my door. 'Humph, I can't believe this is happening to me on my first day back!' Mamoru gets in on the opposite side and I quickly turn my body away towards the window.
'Oh damn, what the hell is her problem now.' I can feel my phone vibrate in my pocket, so I quickly fish it out. 'Ugh! Beryl, now! If I don't answer she won't stop calling'. "Hello, Mamoru speaking".
'Okay, maybe he is just trying to be nice Usagi; you don't know that he is even trying to pick you up or anything. I mean he probably has a girlfriend or something.' I look over at him and see he is on his cell phone. I study him as he talks and he looks like he is upset. "I had a meeting today…." "I'm busy tonight…" Whoever he is talking to obviously wants to get together. 'Now that I took a good look at him there is only one conclusion I can come to, this guy has never been faithful in his life! I mean, he smiled at every woman in the damn restaurant. It wasn't a "hi, I'm just being polite" smile, it was a "Do you want to meet in the bathroom in 5 minutes for mind-blowing sex" smile! Bastard'. I look away again and sigh. I can still hear him on the phone talking to whoever it is. I can faintly hear a pleading female voice. 'What's that…her name is Beryl….oh Usagi, stop eavesdropping'. I stop straining my ears and stare out the window. 'Ah home!' I think. I lay my head back and close my eyes. 'I never realized how tired I was.'
'Fucking Beryl! Why the hell did I ever get involved with that crazy bitch!' I close my eyes and lay my head back. I can faintly hear soft breathing and I quickly remember that I'm not alone in the car. I look over at my newest employee and see that she is fast asleep. 'She's so beautiful. I've seen so many women but Usagi is something different all together'. I lightly touch her long silvery blond hair. 'Nice..' I think to myself. I lie back against the seat and stare at her while she sleeps. 'God, that dress she's wearing is incredible!' There is nothing extravagant about it like the other women I'm used to; it's just a nice summer dress. She shifts her legs up on the seat to get more comfortable and one of her leg's graze's mine. I gingerly put my hand out to lightly touch her leg. 'Her leg is so soft and smooth. I bet they would feel great wrapped around my waist'. I think to myself. She shifts again and her dress rides up her leg higher, exposing her creamy thigh to me. I pull my hand back from her leg. 'All right Mamoru, you can't go and fondle any woman you come across, I mean she's sleeping!' I pick up the car phone to call the driver.
"How close are we to Ms. Tsukino's home?" I ask once he answers.
"About 10 more minutes Mr. Chiba".
"Ok, Thanks." I replace the phone on it's hook and look back to the sleeping angel next to me. 'Did I just think Angel? Get a grip Mamoru, you barely know this girl!' I look back out the window. I faintly hear a sigh and bite my lip in frustration. 'Don't look at her Mamoru, have some damn self-control!' She shifts again but this time she lays her legs out so that they are on my lap and she is lying with her back on the seat. I keep my eyes close and pray that were close to her house now. 'Oh fuck it! I can't take this anymore!' I look down at Usagi. Her luscious pink lips are slightly open and I can see her chest rise and fall with every breath that she takes. I move my eyes down past her lovely breasts to her small waist and her hips. 'God help me, all I want to do is hike up her dress and pound right into her'. I lean back and close my eyes to try to clear my head. It's not working. All I can picture is her beneath me, sighing my name. A small groan escapes my lips as I resist the urges that are getting harder and harder to avoid. The car slows to a stop and I look out the window to see were at a small house. 'Oh thank god! But damn! I don't want to wake her'. Apparently I don't have to because once the car stopped, her eyes start to flutter.
'Ahh, that was a good nap, just what I needed'. I start to stretch out and I let out a small purr of contentment. I hear a cough and quickly open my eyes as realization of where I am hits me. 'Oh my god, my dress is up to my mid thigh and my legs are on Mamoru's lap!' I quickly start to blush and pull myself upright and face forward on the seat. "I'm so sorry Mr. Chiba! I didn't get much sleep on the plane…" I trail off as I start to feel a blush come into my cheeks. I sneak a peak over at him and see that he doesn't seem the least bit upset. 'Why would he? You were basically lying on top of him with your dress hiked up far enough that he could see your goodies'.
"It's ok Ms. Tsukino, your bound to be a little jet lagged."
He is giving me one of his killer smiles again but this time I can't help but smile back.
"Thanks for the ride Mr. Chiba, I really appreciate it". My door is opened by the driver and I start to get out of the limo. I quickly turn back and say, "I'll see you at work on Monday!" I hop out of the limo, grab my bags, and head up to my adoptive parents house.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
I stroll into my house and toss my bags to the side.
"Mom! Dad! Are you home?" I yell out. I didn't see the car out front so maybe their out. I start to pick my bags up to head to my room when I hear the faint click of my mom's heels on the floor.
"Oh honey your home!" My adoptive mom comes down and envelopes me in a big bear hug. "We missed you so much sweetheart. How was your flight?" I quickly relay my flight to her as we walk towards my room. I really missed my adoptive mother. She has always treated me as one of her own. I was getting in my limo ride with Mamoru when she quickly interrupts me.
"Oh, he's a handsome one Usagi! He owns his own company, he's rich, and he's single! Don't believe a thing of what the media says! I'm sure he isn't a "serial heartbreaker" like they say." I look at my mom wearily as she talks about Mamoru. 'Figures she would go against me and like the guy'. I stop my mom as she gets into why he would be a good match for me and say, "Mom, I'm really tired from the flight so I am going to take a nap, ok?" She quickly smiles and nods at me. After she leaves the room, I strip off my dress and go to bed in my underwear. It takes no time for me to quickly fall asleep.
I slept for the rest of the day into the next morning. When I do get up, I am refreshed and feeling better for being at home. 'It's too bad I need to look for an apartment now but it's better to be back on my own'. I hop into the shower and get dressed. I get down to the breakfast table to see my adoptive father reading the paper. "Hey Dad! Good morning!" I quickly give him a hug.
"Usagi! We missed you. I didn't get to see you yesterday because you were sleeping".
"Yea, I was tired from the flight". I start to eat the food that my mom puts in front of me. My dad gets up and folds his paper.
"Well, I'm off to work. What are you plans for today?"
"Mina was going to help me find an apartment and then I was going to have lunch with her, Mako, Rei and Ami". I replied. 'I missed this breakfast at home! Too many mornings of muffins and water,' I think to myself.
"Well good luck sweetheart, see you later." With a kiss on the top of my head, my dad heads out to work. I finish up my food and say goodbye to my mom as I hear Mina honk her horn outside. I grab my purse and head out the door to her car.
"Hi Mina! You look great!" I exclaim to my friend. She has her long blond hair in a ponytail like me and she is wearing a sky blue top to match her eyes with some blue jeans.
"Thanks Usagi. You don't look half bad yourself". I jump into Mina's car and we head out of the driveway. "So where to first?" I ask.
"Actually, I found an apartment that would be perfect for you Usagi! It's one block away from where me and Malachite will be living and the rent will probably be very cheap because you now work at Chiba, Inc!"
"Great Mina! Why would the rent be cheap though? Are they associated with Chiba, Inc?" I ask. I mean how many apartment complexes would give you a discount just because of where you work. Mina gives a small cough and flips her hair over her shoulder. I start to frown at this because this usually means she has something to say that I won't like.
"Well Usagi, it's funny you should ask that. The apartment building is owned by Chiba, Inc. and that's where most of the executives live. Like, Malachite lives there now until we move after the wedding". She gives me one of her smiles but falters a little when she sees the expression on my face.
"Okay Mina, when you say executives does that mean that they all live there, like, I don't know the CEO!" 'If she says yes, she is a dead woman!' I think.
"Well, um…..okay, so Mamoru lives in the penthouse at the top of the building but you will probably never see the guy!" She starts to talk quickly which is usually a tell-tale sign that she wants me to agree with her. "I mean, I'm over there so much visiting with Malachite and I have seen Mamoru like twice!" She stops and looks towards me again. I give her the best look of death that I can muster and look away.
"Mina, I'm not going to live in the same building as my boss. I will just find something else." I stand my ground and cross my arms across my chest. We stop in front of an apartment complex and I look up. 'Wow, this place is nice! No, no, no Usagi, you aren't living here!' I look towards Mina and see that she is giving me her pleading eyes.
"Usagi! Just look at the apartment, I mean it won't be that bad and if you really don't like it then we can look someplace else! I just want you to live close to me!" I sigh to myself and sit back against the seat. 'It won't hurt to look I guess'.
"Fine Mina, I'll look, but I'm not promising anything!" She squeals with delight and gets out of the car. I slowly follow and we both walk into the complex. Mina waves to the front desk man as we walk towards the elevator. I look around the lobby and I can't help but be impressed. 'This place is really nice' I think to myself. The elevator doors open and we both step in.
"I all ready have the keys for the apartment and IF you lived here you would be on the 20th floor. Malachite lives on the 21st floor". She explains to me. 'The 20th floor huh? That would be a lot of steps to climb if the elevator ever broke down' I think. I silently put that on my con's list of reasons why I'm not going to be moving in. Mamoru living here is number 1 on the list. The elevator stops and the doors slide open. We both get out and walk down the hall to 209. Mina stops and turns to me with the key in her hand.
"You have to open it to get the full effect Usagi!" She gives me a big smile and I snatch the key out of her hand. 'Don't be impressed, don't be impressed, don't be impressed…'
I open the door and take in a breath. This place is amazing! It's twice as big as my dinky apartment in New York! I slowly walk in to what would be my living room and look around. This place is so nice. I walk around to see a big kitchen and a huge spacious bathroom. 'Oh, I can take bubble baths every day here!' I walk down towards the bed room and open the door. 'Oh fuck! I love this place!' The bedroom is huge with a large walk in closet and a balcony! I run over to the doors and walk out. I can see the streets below and sigh to myself. 'This place is great! But can I really live here knowing that my boss lives here?' I look back over the balcony and smile. 'Hey, it's not like I'm going to be sleeping with him or anything and if the rent is cheap then why the hell not?' I think to myself. I was so enveloped in my thoughts that I didn't even notice that someone else was out on the balcony with me. Without looking I say, "Oh, Mina, this place is great!"
"I'm glad you think so" says a deep male voice. 'Please don't be who I think you are…' I tell myself as I turn around. A smiling Mamoru is behind me in an amazing black suit and tie.

Yea! Chapter 3 is out! Not too much going on in this chapter, sorry… :bows head in shame: The next one will be much better so please keep on reading! My life consists of muffins and water in the morning (and sometimes lunch) so that's where I got that from. Being a poor college student doesn't exactly allow you to have a good breakfast. Thank god for my mother!
Anyway, the next chapter should be out by the end of the week so stick around and give me a review if you can!
