He used to treat women with respect.
He used to treat them as if they're a precious gem.
He used to handle them with care.
He used to be the 'perfect gentleman'.
But only ended up being betrayed... He close his heart to the emotion called love, and started to play with women's emotions and body, this is what they wanted from him after all.
He won't cry because of those filthy women, who only after for his fame, money, and sex. He won't become stupid because of them.
"Good morning, Dr. Davis!" Mai greeted him with a warm smile. That warm smile that give him a weird warm feeling on his chest, and on his face. It's the third day of her detention, and tomorrow will be her last day.
"Mai, have you already chosen a company for your internship?" He inquired. He wanted her to work for him, as much as he hate to admit it, her tea is addicting.
"No, why?"
"Then work for me"
She raised her eyebrow on him, she's staring at him as if making sure if she heard her right.
Oliver smirk "I know I'm handsome, don't stare too much"
Her face was red with anger "Sorry to burst bubble oh-so-great-scientist, but I'm not staring at your ugly face"
He walk towards her on the counter, leaning closer to her "Are you sure?" he whispered
Mai was blushing, she can feel his warm breath on her face "Y-yeah, I-I'm s-sure"
"You're stammering Mai, is my presence affecting you?" his voice is teasing, he grin when he saw her blush more.
She was save by the kettle's whistle, and the other professor's arrival. Oliver went back to his temporary table after giving her a teasing smirk.
He almost have her, he can't help but smile at young lady who still pouting while filing his files beside him. He don't want to admit it but he found it cute.
"Dr. Naru, I'm done"
The young doctor spluttered his tea and glared at Mai - who seems enjoying his reaction "What did you just called me?"
"Dr. Naru, as in Dr. Narcissist" she giggled cutely, and he won't admit it.
He rolled his eyes "Whatever"
She sling her bag on her shoulder and wave at him "And oh, just to remind you that tomorrow will be my last day of detention" he nodded.
He sighed when she left. He felt... lonely. Since he don't have anything to do he decided to go home. He was driving on his way to his apartment when he saw Mai, giving food to the old woman on the streets. She smile at the old woman, saying something funny because the old woman laugh. Oliver can't help but smile, when she left. He parked his car in front of a sushi restaurant, he bought one box of sushi and he gave it to the same old woman that Mai talked to.
He went to his car and felt his phone vibrated, he raised his eyebrow at the sender, it's one of those women. She's asking for his presence in her apartment because she's 'lonely' and miss him. Well, he's bored anyway so he replied that he's on his way.
Sex... he found it boring lately. He didn't get excited with the women on his list anymore. Proof? Well, he stifled a yawn while a blonde woman on top of him.
"Naru..." His eyes snapped when he heard a familiar voice, his widened when he saw Mai panting, staring, and on top of him, he's getting a hard on from the sight of her. He blinked away and saw the blondie grinning at him.
"I can't believe my voice can excite you this much, Oliver" she purred.
He scowl and shove her away, "I'm done"
"What?!" she shreiked, "But what about me?"
He didn't answer, but instead he went to the bathroom to get rid of his protection. He's not stupid, he don't want to be chased by women because he made them pregnant.
When he went out from the bathroom, he was pushed on the bed.
"Come on Oliver, finish me..." she trailed kisses to his neck down to his chest, but he pushed her away.
"I told you, I'm done. Finish yourself, or call your other partners" he dryly said. He stood up and get dressed "Goodbye, Alice" without turning back, he left.
He wanted to curse his self, why did he saw Mai's image earlier? He groan when he felt his blood rush to the south when he imagined Mai's face. He wanted to see her, now. He went to his apartment to take a bath, afterwards, he get dress. It's eight in the evening, he went to the bar where they first saw her. He softly smile he saw her at the counter, serving drinks, he went directly to her.
"I'll have Gin and Tonic"
"Sure –" she smile at him, her smile is different to smile she gave to the other costumers "Dr. Naru!"
He groaned at the name she made for him "Don't call me that, Mai"
She saddened "You... don't like it?"
He don't why but he felt a prick on his chest when he saw her sad face "Just... Just drop the 'Dr.', 'Naru' is fine"
She smile brightly at him "Okay! So what do you want again?"
"Gin and Tonic"
"Right away!"
He was amused as he watch her, he chuckled when she almost tripped. He felt a soft chest on his back.
"It's been a while, Oliver" the woman whispered to his ears.
When he turn to see who the devil is, he frown, the reason why he is here is to get away from his partners "Katherine"
She smile seductively at him, and sit beside him. Her hands playing the buttons of his shirt "I see that you're alone, let me accompany you tonight"
"Not tonight, darling" he smile at her, he grab her hands and kiss it, which made her moan. He can see that she's drunk.
"Here's your order, Naru" Mai place his order with a smile. Naru expected her to get jealous, but no, she didn't even bat an eye seeing him with a gorgeous woman. He give her a nod.
"But Oliver, I'm lonely... It's been a while since you went to my apartment" she put his hands on her thigh, and pressed her healthy chest on him "I know you miss me"
No, I don't... he thought. "Yes, I do miss you. I will call you soon" He pull her into a hot kiss, which made her smile wider. "Go back to your friends"
He sighed when the annoying woman disappeared to join her friends. He heard a familiar giggle, he looked at Mai leaning on the counter, with an amusement in her eyes.
"Is she your girlfriend?"
"No."
"Then why did you kiss her?"
He smirk "Are you jealous?"
"Nope. Why would I?"
"I don't know. Maybe because you like me?"
Mai laugh, and he felt it again, the warm feeling on his chest "In your dreams, narcissist!" when her laughter subside "You're the third guy that she hit on" she said.
He rolled his eyes, he don't care about that btch. He change the subject "By the way Mai, about your internship"
She turned serious "Are we really going to talk about that here?"
"Fine, after your shift I will drive you home"
"Okay!"
It's quarter to ten, Mai's shift will end in fifteen minutes. He wanted to order last glass of Gin and Tonic, but she scolded him.
"No way in hell, Naru! It's your fifth glass already, and you will be driving. I don't want to ride in a car being driven by a drunk man" she huff and walk away.
He chuckled, no one scolded him before. Not until he met her.
She was thankful that they arrive in her apartment safely. She made a tea for him.
"So, what do you want to talk about?"
He sipped her tea "I want you to have your internship in my company"
"You ran a psychic research center?"
He nodded "Yes, as of now, my brother is the one running it while I'm teaching at the university"
"Oh, I see... So, what's the company's name?"
"It's the Japanese branch of BSPR, Society of Psychic Research, SPR for short. And I want you to be my assistant"
She blinked "Assistant? You mean you want me to help you?"
"Yes"
"I'll do it."
It's his time to blinked, he didn't expect that "Are you sure?"
"Yep. I'll have my internship in your company, it means I don't need to go to school right?"
"Yes. You will start after I'm done substituting your Professor, I will inform your dean."
She cleaned the table and put the cups on the sink. She watch Naru putting his shoes on. "Thanks for giving me a ride, Naru"
Instead of answering her thanks, he leaned down to kiss her, but Mai cover his mouth. "Don't"
"It's just a kiss Mai"
"Not to me Naru" when she saw the confusion on his face, she smile "I will only kiss the man I love"
"I see..." he kissed her cheeks, he smile when he saw her blush "Good night"
He was looking at his reflection on the mirror, "Oh, I will make sure you will fall in love with me Mai. And I will be your first in everything."
