Chapter 14 – He's Angry
After my friends had calmed down, Naru and I took that chance to disappear and go to lunch. We went to the same place we always went to for lunch; the same place the girls and I go for lunch. But when it's just Naru and I, we have a different table, in the corner where we have some peace. The waitress came over, she was new and I could tell because not only had I never seen her before, but she was staring at Naru intently. I could tell she was going o flirt with him, "Can I get you anything?" she asked him suggestively.
He gives out a sigh and orders our usual; he doesn't order a drink for himself since he usually orders tea from me when we get back to the office. She looks a little surprised that he didn't respond to her suggestiveness, so she tries again, "Is there anything else you would like?" she emphasises the 'anything else' to try and get her point across.
"Yes, could you please leave us alone and get what we ordered," he replied calmly, trying to get her to leave.
She does, in a huff too. All the other waitresses in this café know not to ask things of Naru suggestively, they've seen it happen to other girls that were dumb enough to flirt with my boyfriend, woops, that's no longer right, it's fiancée now. "She's new," I comment.
"Yes she is, I thought we wouldn't have to deal with these things here anymore, but it seems we will deal with it every time they get someone new," he replies followed by a sigh.
"I guess so," I say.
When the waitress comes back with our food, she hasn't given up because there's a piece of paper on Naru's plate which must have her number on it. I sigh and, surprisingly, so does Naru. "That plate better not make contact with the table with that paper still on it," Naru warns.
"Oh, I insist you take it," she replies.
"I insist you take it off the plate," he replies, damn, he's losing his cool.
"Why?" she asks.
"Because I know what it is and I don't want it," Naru replies getting angrier.
"Why don't you want it?" she asks, trying the puppy dog look, huh, only mine works on him.
"Have you even thought about the fact that I'm not single?" he asks her.
"Well I wouldn't know, you have your cousin with you, or is she your sister," she answers.
"She's neither, she's my fiancée," he snaps, oh crap.
"She's your fiancée? I bet she tricked you into it," she replies.
Big mistake, the table is starting to shake. I've learnt that Naru doesn't care about what people say about him, but he loses it when they say something bad about me. "Don't you ever say anything bad about her," Naru says darkly.
She doesn't seem affected by his tone or his glare. My turn, "Naru, calm down, if you don't someone will get hurt. You're shaking the tables," I say to him calmly, taking his hand.
He looks at me and his eyes soften, he calms down enough for the tables to stop shaking. That's when the owner decides to make an appearance. Takata-san is a portly man, slightly taller than me with that natural Japanese black hair and brown eyes, "What happened out here?" the he sees Naru. "Ah, Shibuya-san, what happened?"
All Naru had to do was point at the waitress for Takata-san to know what happened. "Rika, I told you not to flirt with the customers, and I said especially not Shibuya-san," Takata-san tells her.
"This is Shibuya-san?" she asks, now slightly scared.
"But the tables don't usually shake unless Taniyama-san is talked badly about, what did you say about her?" he asks.
"I said she probably tricked him into marrying her," she whispers.
"You silly girl, Shibuya-san gets really mad when you say bad things about Taniyama-san, they've been coming in here together for years now," he replies, it's like he is teaching her at school.
They kept talking like that while Naru and I ate our lunch, "Takata-san, as always the food was great, but we have to return to the office," I say.
He turns away from Rika to say bye as we left the café for the office.
Takata-san's POV
"Takata-san, why were the tables shaking?" Rika asked me after Shibuya-san and Taniyama-san had left.
"Hmmm, I haven't confirmed it, but I think Shibuya-san has PK," I answer.
"What's PK?" she asks.
"Look it up," I answer.
Mai's POV
After we had returned, Naru went straight to his office after asking for his tea. I went into the kitchen and while I was waiting for the water to boil, Lin walked in with a raised eyebrow. "A new waitress suggested I tricked Naru into marrying me," I answer with a sigh, knowing what Lin was asking; why was Naru angry.
I saw Lin's eyes darken, he doesn't like it when women insult me either; I have an over-protective family. He was about to say something when the whistle on the kettle sounded, time to make Naru's tea, and I did just that as Lin left the kitchen.
I took Naru his tea, when I looked at him I could tell he was still angry. I walked behind him and wrapped my arms around his shoulders. "Hey, no harm done, I'm used to it. I don't mind, I like the look on women's faces after you turn them down," I say, trying to reassure him.
"Mai, I don't like it when they insult you, they can't get it through their thick heads that not all men are single and not all men want them. I get angry when they say bad things about you, any man would get angry when the woman they love is being insulted, for me it's bad enough that you're accident prone and ghosts are always trying to kill you," he replies darkly.
I sigh and kiss his temple, "Just please try not to lose it, you'll feel bad if you hurt someone because of your powers and I hate seeing you upset; it makes me upset seeing it."
With that, I leave him to calm down in his office as I go to do my own work.
I'm soory it took me awhile to update but please R&R, I wrote another Naru rejects flirty woman because I want to make up for all the times that women have flirted with Naru and gotten away with it and I think it's funny. HEHEHEHE.
Seza, over and out
