I don't own the rights to Black Joke I don't make any money doing this I only own my Oc's. Just warning you this manga rated M so is my fanfic so please you must be 18 and older to be reading this you have been warned.
Hey everybody! Don't worry I'm not dead or on hiatus. I would post that if I was. Just working nights over the summer, which I don't recommend and going to school as well. So when I wasn't working I was going to school so I was a little exhausted and well pretty much hibernated over the summer. So what little time I had to myself I didn't feel like doing much of anything, but I'm back so lets get this show on the road.
You arrived back home you and Pedro didn't really do much just a five-minute make out session in his car before you said your good byes. Even if this evening wasn't going to amount to anything how many chances does a girl get to make out in a Ferrari, so you took it. You admit to yourself that the evening was nice but you didn't really feel any chemistry and you didn't really understand why. I mean Pedro was nice enough but there wasn't exactly any sparks you honestly felt fine just being his friend. You didn't believe in letting guys on. Probably shouldn't have made out with him then you think to yourself or maybe that was the sangria talking.
You get to your room grab your puppy and begin to snuggle just going over in your head about tonight's events you hear a knock on your door, before you can say come in Michael just barges in.
"Your home early", she says with a scowl, or maybe that's just her face.
"Yeah well we had fun but I decided that we should probably just remain friends there was just no sparks and then Kira was there…."
"Wait, Kira was there? No wonder the evening was a disaster double dates are the worst for first dates why didn't you tell him to piss off!"
"I don't know the girl he was with wanted to sit with us and well the whole night just kind of gat away from me"
"Or maybe deep down a part of you was actually glad that Kira was there! Indecisive girls like you are the worst do me a favor and leave my friends alone!
Michael gets up and stomps all the way to the door slamming the door so hard your surprised that things didn't drop off the walls and startling your dog.
You can feel tears well up in your eyes. You didn't understand why you were so indecisive or really your feeling for Kiyoshi. It was probably for the best if you didn't date anyone not until you understand yourself a little better and until the new cabaret is finally established. You weren't a crybaby though you quickly wipe your tears away and quickly sadness is replaced with anger. How dare she get mad at you the prima donna bitch. You didn't ask for her help plus she hardly knew you, why was she setting up on dates? Did you seem that pathetic, fuck her! You think, you eventually fall asleep angry.
You wake up early the next morning because you have to be at the Onsen to over see the construction. You quickly shower and just and you're leaving you bump into Michael. The two of you just circle each other for a couple minutes.
"Morning", you say but not friendly in any way
"Hello… I'm sorry about last night it was not my place to say", she says
"Yeah well I'm sorry to I don't mean to tease Pedro but I'm not going to date someone I clearly don't have serious feelings for I have to much going on in my life to do that"
"Understandable see you later" she then enters the bathroom and shut the door behind her.
You quickly get dressed and grab piece of fruit to eat, your fairly early getting there but Maurice has already been there for two hours. Such a workaholic you think to yourself so you decided to bring him a coffee.
You finally get to the Onsen and start looking around for Maurice to focused in what your doing you bump into somebody the cologne smells familiar.
"Oh no anybody but him", you think to yourself "Pedro!' you say possibly to cheerfully
"Ah Miss Leigh nice to see you", he pulls you in and lightly kisses you. You not really surprised by this you did make out last night, but still you have to end this.
"Look Pedro I'm sorry about last night because of me our date was ruined but I'm also sorry because I think I'm leading you on and you deserve better"
"Wow I'm I getting the it's not you its me speech", you see that he's trying to joke around but you see that he's a little hurt.
"No, this time its true, and I'm sure you hear that a lot to, I'm sure over time I could learn to like maybe even love but right now I don't have that kind of time, I'm sorry"
"….I understand you have a career on the move you don't need the distraction but when you do just give me a call okay", He pulls you in to kiss you again but this time only on the cheek and then walks past you quickly and doesn't bother waving or looking back.
"Ouch", you think to yourself clearly he was more hurt than he let on or maybe his pride was just wounded either way you hope you don't run into each for a little while.
"That looked rough"
You turn to see Maurice, you smile and hand him his coffee
"You don't know the half of it", you say with a sigh
"Can't say that I'm surprised though I heard that little fight you and Michael were having last night I kind of assumed it was about this. Even though I'm sorry for you Evee I have mixed feelings because now you can focus all your attention on you job instead"
"Yeah I guess your right", you're starting to feel not that guilty either
"But still to be spurned twice in one visit can't be easy"
"What do you mean twice?"
"Well Michael rejected him to and they have been life long friends guess the poor guy just can't catch a break"
"He's been in love with Michael the whole time what the hell some I'm just the rebound chic, that sneaky bitch", you think to yourself.
"I'm sure she didn't mean anything by it, she just wanted to make him feel better but pushing him on you wasn't the greatest idea besides you in love with Kira", Mo turns and walks the other direction.
"What? No I'm not what makes you think that", you can see in the mirrors now that you blushing.
"Well its kind of obvious besides your terrible at hiding your feelings you're to honest it's a blessing and a curse I guess"
"Well right now I just feel cursed", you take a sip of your coffee "damn this coffees good", you say out loud
"Well its true what they say unlucky in love lucky in coffee I guess", says Maurice
"Who says that? You better not be making fun of me!" you quickly run and playfully smack him on the back of the head.
"Beside don't mind Michael she's just feeling a little slighted right now to be honest she always thought that she would be the one running her own cabaret"
You looked surprised at this suddenly all the past hostility is starting to make sense
"Why isn't she?" you ask
"Now's just not the time and that's all I can say about that", responds Maurice
You take the hint and don't ask any further questions
"So who's the extra coffee for?" asked Maurice
"Um ahh…" you babble like an idiot, shit you've been figured out
"It's for Kira", you say letting out a reluctant sigh
"And don't mind if I do" A long hand reaches down form behind you and takes the coffee off the tray.
"Nice to see that you still think about me, where's Romeo?"
"Pedro"
"Whatever", Kira says with a shrug
"Not that its your business, but were not seeing each other"
"Hmm, not sorry to hear that", he's says sharply and proceeds to walk past both you and Maurice
"Humph, maybe your not so lucky in love, the guys an asshole", says Mo
"Yeah I know", but part of you still can't help but feel happy to see him again. You quickly run up to catch Kira who puts his hand on your waist you don't shake it off but rest your head on his should and proceed to walk to you destination.
Staying behind you see the two of them walk off together she's gaga for this guy and you can tell he has strong feelings for her as well. What amateurs! This isn't a problem yet and hopefully it doesn't have to be, or something will have to be done, Maurice pondered to himself.
