11:47 P.M.
Alright, it was pretty late by now, so it was time to put my plan into action! Well, there really was no plan, but I was going to attack him while he was sleeping, or something like that.
I pushed my bedroom door open, and luckily, the door didn't make a sound. I walk a few feet, and push my ear against Takumi's door. I listen for a few seconds, before deciding he was asleep and the coast was clear.
I push open his door, which was left open just a crack, and like my door, it opened silently. I slip inside of his room, and spot his bed. Perfect. I sneak over to his bed, crouching down so I was hidden by the frame. I count down in my head, and on three, I spring up and jump onto his bed, onto to be greeted by softness. Pure mattress, no Takumi. Where the hell was he?! I try to sit up to scan the room, but instead I get pinned down by a larger body.
"Misaki... If you wanted to sleep with me you should've just said so," a voice teases. I grit my teeth. Damn it!
"Nobody wants to sleep with you, pervert!" I protest, struggling in his grasp. Sadly, my hands were both pinned above my head by his, and he was hovering over me. He chuckles.
"Misaki, what are you thinking?" he asks. I blink a few times in confusion. "You're so innocent... Wandering inside a man's bedroom in the middle of the night," he whispers huskily into my ear. I blush. I try to kick him, but my body fails me. I was practically frozen.
"L-let me go!" I yell, managing to muster up the strength to push him away. I make a mad dash out of his room, and into mine. I slam the door behind me, gasping for air. I didn't even need to place my hand over my chest- I could hear my heart beating in my ears. Seriously, who does that?!
I walk over to my bed and whip out my phone. I decide to text Sakura to calm myself down. I send her a few messages about how I miss her, and how much I hate Takumi, but I get no response. Sighing, I put my phone back onto the white table. Luckily, I've managed to calm down my spastic heart heart, and decide to abort 'Mission: Scare Takumi'. After that experience, I don't think I'd like to try again.
Even though I didn't feel sleepy, my body begged for sleep and my eyelids felt heavy. I give in, and eventually feel my body go slack as I drift off to sleep.
Mmm... That smells really good...
"Sakura... What are you making...?" I murmur to myself. Suddenly, my eyes snap open and I awaken with a jolt. I wasn't in my own house... I lived with Takumi now... So why did I smell someone cooking?
I throw off my covers and run downstairs, just to make sure there were no intruders in our house. Well, I don't understand why a thief would start cooking, but whatever.
I was welcomed into the kitchen by a heavenly aroma that smelled much better up close than from my room. I sneak a peek at who was cooking the food, and freeze. In front of me, was a (handsome) blonde haired man. Also known as Usui Takumi.
"What?! You can cook?!" I exclaim in surprise. He turns to face me.
"Yeah," he replies, placing an omelette on both of the plates. He holds a plate out in front of me.
"W-What? I can't just take this," I stutter, feeling a bit guilty about taking the food. He frowns.
"I won't eat if you don't," he argues. I gulp, and stare into his eyes. He was serious. I sigh, giving in.
"You idiot..." I mutter, taking the plate from his hands. I pick up the spoon that rested on the side and picked it up. I cut a small chunk of the food off with my spoon, before scooping it into my mouth. Takumi was eyeing me, waiting for a reaction. My eyes widen when I swallow my first bite of the omelette. It tasted really delicious- the eggs were fluffy, and the rice inside was sticky and fresh. I had to admit, he was really an amazing cook.
"I-It's good," I compliment, scooping another piece into the spoon. Honestly, good was an understatement. Why the hell was this guy an actor instead of a chef? I turn to see Takumi still staring at me. I blush.
"What is it...?" I ask. He chuckles.
"Your expressions are too cute," he comments. My blush darkens.
"I-I'm going to go eat in my room!" I fume, taking the delicious meal with me. I walk up the stairs and into my bedroom. I sit down on my bed cross-legged, and enjoy my food.
"It's so yummy," I mumble to myself, picking up my phone. I turned the screen on to see 8 new messages from Sakura. I smile to myself, clicking on my conversation with her. She basically sent me the typical "hey how are you doing" text, in which I responded I was doing well. She updated me on what was going on back at home (nothing very noteworthy) and that was basically it.
I finished off every last bit of my breakfast, and carried my empty plate downstairs. It appears that Takumi returned to his room, so I threw my dishes into the sink, feeling too lazy to clean them right now.
I rushed back up to my room once more, feeling a bit bored. Sakura wasn't responding to her texts, and she really didn't want to seek the company of Takumi. There wasn't really any cool stuff to do, so I decided to take a walk. I got undressed out of my pajamas (which I now realized I had been wearing the entire morning) and wore a cute light blue dress that reach my knees, along with a white cardigan. I threw on some white flats, tied my hair up into a ponytail, then went downstairs. I'd been wanting to enjoy the scenery around here ever since we got out of the car.
I opened the front door and left. I wandered around the small area around our villa for a while, before deciding to go even further. I saw a nice area with tons of trees surrounding it, and decided to make my way there. The closer I got, I realized it was a forest. I checked my black watch that Sakura found for me back at home, and it read '9:42 A.M.'
I just realized I forgot my phone at home, but decided it would be a good idea to enter the forest anyway. After all, the sun wouldn't start setting for more than 7 or so hours. I'll be back before Takumi even notices I'm missing. I walked for a while before I found myself in front of the entrance to the forest. I shuddered when I realized how dark the inside was. I remember the day when Takumi had to save me from the woods when I got lost. A subconscious smile appears on my face. I check my watch once again, and it reads '10:13 A.M.' Damn, it took me half an hour to walk here. I should probably head back now. There was no way in hell I was going to enter a forest that dark.
So, I began my walk home. I took a different path from the way I came, and on my way back, I found a nice spot beneath a tree. I sat down beneath it, feeling the soft grass beneath me. It almost felt like a mattress in a strange sort of way. The sound of a nearby lake soothed me, and I could feel my eyelids growing heavy... No, I can't fall asleep here... But maybe, just a short nap. I'll wake up in about half an hour.
My eyes flutter open, but no sunlight hurt my eyes like I expected. I jerk up, looking around to evaluate my surroundings. It was pretty dark out, and I wasn't liking it. I press a button on my watch to make the screen light up, and I check the time. My jaw drops. It read '8:41 P.M.'! How the hell did I sleep the entire day away?!
I get up on my feet and make a dash back to our house. Shit, Takumi was going to be pissed! I've never seen him mad before, and I have to admit, I never want to.
It took me about ten minutes to get home while running at top speed, and before I open the front door, I allow myself to regulate my breathing. I inhale sharply before unlocking the door and carefully stepping inside. My heart was beating so fast right now, it was actually starting to freak me out. With every step I took, I had to look around to make sure Takumi wasn't anywhere.
I carefully made my way up the stairs, one a time, slowly and hesitantly. I made sure every step I took was silent. At last, I reach the top of the staircase. I tip toed to my bedroom, and turned the doorknob. I let out a sigh of relief, knowing I had succeeded in sneaking back in.
Or, that's what I thought.
Right when I opened the door, my amber eyes were locked with emerald ones. I gulp nervously. That honestly scared the crap out of me, but luckily I didn't let out the scream that was at the tip of my tongue.
"T-Takumi..." I greet nervously. I offer him a small smile, only to be crushed against the wall behind me. He stared at me, never even once breaking eye contact. His emerald eyes seemed to pierce through me, and I suddenly felt very frightened.
"Where were you?" he asks me in a low voice. Something about his tone told me not to mess around, so I decided not to.
"I-I was outside," I answer vaguely, realizing I sounded like a smartass. That only caused his glare to harden.
"Where outside?" he demands. I whimper a bit when his grip on my wrists tighten.
"N-Near the tree! I f-fell asleep!" I reply, trembling slightly beneath his gaze. I could see him search my eyes to see if I was telling the truth, and when be decided I was, his expression softened. His grip around my wrists loosened, and he pulled me into an embrace.
"Don't ever do that again," he scolds me. "You got me so worried," he adds gently. I blush. He was worried about me? I let him hold me without struggling, since I did feel pretty bad about making him concerned.
"I'm sorry," I apologize genuinely, burying my face into his chest. His arms were comforting and warm, making me never want to leave them.
Why was I enjoying this? What was wrong with me? I am not enjoying this. I am half asleep. It's just because I'm tired. I don't care one bit about this alien. Yeah, that's it.
"You haven't eaten all day," he comments with a frown. "I'll make you something," he offers. I nod, feeling a bit disappointed when Takumi's arms retreat from my frame.
We walk down the staircase and to the kitchen silently, and I couldn't tell if he was still upset with me or not. I decided not to mention it and just hope the incident would pass over and be forgotten.
Once again, a wonderful scent fills the room due to Takumi's cooking, and he gives me a bowl of ramen. I eat in silence, enjoying the meal, but stealing glances at Takumi every now and then who was staring at me. Once I finished, I dropped my dishes into the sink once again, deciding to do them tomorrow.
"Thanks," I say gratefully. I walk up to my room without another word and flop on my bed. I pull out my phone and text Sakura.
"To: Sakura
From: Misaki
Maybe he's not so bad after all... But that doesn't mean I like him. Goodnight."
"To: Misaki
From: Sakura
Aww... That's cute! I ship it ;) Goodnight!"
