At that night, Natsume set up the bed for Mikan to sleep

III – My Job's Not Easy as It Looks

While Natsume was drying his hair from the bathroom, Mikan was preparing a bed for her to sleep. She was tidying it when Natsume saw her and said; "What are you doing?"

"Isn't it obvious that I'm sleeping here? Even if you're the famous Natsume Hyuuga, I won't allow myself to sleep beside you. Is it clear?" Mikan asked as she put her hands on her waist.

"It's your job to sleep with me. So do what I told you to do, not follow your own decisions. You're not being paid for nothing." Natsume said.

"But I should have my space too! I'm not your wife; we're just pretending!"

While the two continue to fight, the young Youichi was entering the room with a teddy bear wrapped around his arm. He saw the two arguing, so he tried to get the attention of the two.

"Mommy, daddy." Youichi called. The two stopped fighting and looked at Youichi, embarrassed.

"Yes, sweetheart." Mikan said to Youichi

"I wanted to sleep with you tonight." Youichi replied to the two.

They both looked at each other's face. Both of them were thinking the same thing; "What?"

"Mommy, I thought married ones should be sleeping at the same bed? Why are you sleeping at the separate bed?" Youichi asked

Silence filled the room for a moment, and then Mikan thought of an idea.

"Youichi, will you excuse mommy and daddy for a moment?" Mikan asked while she dragged Natsume inside the restroom. She locked it, and inside there she exaggerated.

"Natsume! I can't take it anymore! It's my first day and your son wanted to make sure we sleep at the same bed?! I can't believe this!" Mikan exaggerated

"Maybe he was just excited to see you; he wanted to make sure you won't run away." Natsume replied

"But even though… I can't say 'go back to your room' or 'we sleep in separate beds'. That would make him think that we're not married."

"Trust me; I won't do anything bad to you."

"But Natsume is it really possible for me to sleep with you?"

"For the child's sake Mikan, I mean Maya. We have to do it even if it hurts us. Remember your 500 000 yen a month."

Mikan hesitated for a moment, since she hasn't slept with a boy. Natsume was impatient. Time is gold… he says. And if he didn't get 8 hours of sleep, his image would be a disaster.

"That's it. Let's sleep together, Maya." Natsume said as he grabbed Mikan's wrist and went back to the room.

"No, please! I haven't decided yet!" Mikan begged, but it was too late. Natsume walked to Youichi, still holding Mikan's hand. He told Youichi; "Why don't you sleep at the bed I laid out for you."

"What? But I laid out that-."

"Just be quiet, Maya." Natsume said as he looked at Mikan. Then, he turned to Youichi and said; "Just sleep there, okay?"

Youichi nodded his head as his answer and walked to the small bed. He lay down there and looked at the ceiling. But, after a few minutes, he shut his eyes.

Natsume walked to his bed and occupied all the space on the bed. Mikan was surprised about this. "Hey! I thought that we had an agreement that I'll be sleeping next to you?!"

"How about this; you sleep at the toilet." Natsume replied coldly

Mikan was really mad; she crossed her eyebrows and balled her fists. Then, she went to the restroom angry and crossed her arms.

"I can't believe that darn Hyuuga! If only I knew his attitude was like this, I should've never agreed with him! But I need the money for my wants and needs. Maybe I should teach him a lesson." Mikan thought as she curved her lip into an evil smile.

Mikan thought of something. She took of her bathrobe (don't worry; inside were clothes) and she smiled mysteriously. Then, as she walked out of the bathroom, she faced Natsume.

"Now, what do you want?" Natsume asked while looking outside through the window. Then, Mikan ran and lay down the bed. Natsume widened his eyes as he saw Mikan's actions. "Wait, what are you doing? Have you drunk some water from the toilet?"

"Actually, no." Mikan said as she looked at Natsume. "You said that we're setting this up right? So we have to pretend as husband and wife. I should lie down with you."

"Tch. Whatever." Natsume replied. He stretched his arms, and after that, he laid his arm on Mikan's neck. Mikan was disgusted by this, so she lifted her leg and cornered Natsume. Natsume was annoyed by this; he moved and moved until Mikan had no more space. Then, Mikan used her body to jump and jump, making the bed bouncy.

This happened the whole night. They never slept.

The next day, Natsume and Mikan had their panda eyes on. (Panda eyes are eye bugs) They weren't able to sleep properly except Youichi, totally prepared for school.

The maids laughed at the two pandas that were really slow that day. Too bad Natsume has to go to work, and Mikan has to create a new novel even though it's killing her. While they were eating, Youichi asked his mother.

"Mom, have you slept soundly last night?" Youichi asked.

"Of course, Youichi." Mikan replied, who was trying to control her temper since she's cranky.

"Youichi," Natsume called which caught Youichi's attention. "Your mother's really good in writing. Did you know she has a bestseller?"

"Whoa, is it true mommy?" Youichi asked his mother. He seems happy now since he sees his mother daily now. Natsume was also happy that his son is happy, but he felt guilty.

"Okay, let's go Youichi. You'll be late for school." Natsume said coldly as he stood up and went outside.

"Daddy, why are you so cranky? And you didn't give mommy your goodbye kiss yet." Youichi called out. Natsume paused for a while, and turned around. Mikan widened her eyes and was surprised. "Daddy, your kiss with mommy…"

Natsume walked towards Mikan. Then, he kissed her on her cheek. "There…"

"Daddy, that's not a kiss. It should be on the LIPS." Youichi said.

Natsume gave a deep sigh, and then he slowly reached for Mikan's lips. Mikan was blushing that time, but when she thought it was a tender kiss, it was only a peck kiss on the lips.

"C'mon Youichi, let's go. You'll be late for school." Natsume said as he walked towards the door to outside. Youichi followed after, but before he was going outside, he gave a flying kiss to his so called mother. He waved at her, and followed Natsume.

Mikan was left there; her eyes widened, her heart was beating faster and faster, and blushing. She felt this spark, but it was no other spark. It was like Cupid's arrow hit her. She touched her lips, and thought; "Natsume Hyuuga kissed me… But it was only a peck kiss. Why does it mean something special to me? It seems like… I was hit. Wait Mikan, snap out of this! You're just doing your job, it's actually nothing. But…"

She lay frozen at that place. The wind blew her hair to its direction. "Why do I feel something special?"

OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

"What?! You kissed Natsume?!" Anna exclaimed from the telephone.

"Well, it's not officially a kiss since it wasn't tender or passionate." Mikan replied

"But it's still a kiss," Anna said

"And nothing will change that." Nonoko joined the conversation too.

"Guys, listen! Help me… it's because when I kissed Natsume, I felt something." Mikan said

"His breakfast?" The twins laughed after

"No… I mean… it's unexplainable. I felt something special… Something that made my heart beat fast."

"Oh no, you mean you're in love with Natsume?!" Anna asked

"But you said that you won't fall in love after the 'incident'." Nonoko also said

"Please don't remind me of that incident! But maybe this spark's only temporary." Mikan replied.

"Temporary? Mikan, if you're in love, it won't be temporary. But, if it is temporary, you'll be getting 500 000 yen a month!" Anna answered.

"Yeah, but if it's love, here are the symptoms: one, you enjoy his company. Two, you feel something special whenever you're near him and third; you get jealous whenever he's with another girl." Nonoko reminded

"Guys, I already told you! I'm not in love with him. So goodbye then," Mikan put down the phone after, and crossed her arms.

"Am I in love with him?" Mikan thought. "Wait, it's just one kiss. What's the big deal? I'm not in love with him. Maybe it's because of his breakfast. But if I am in love with him, I'll do my best to not! I don't want to remember that incident ever! Or maybe I should enter the convent… what the! I want to get married, yeah, but not with that insensitive, uncaring, cold Natsume Hyuuga! If only I could hit him with bricks and he won't sue me."

OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

On the other hand, let's check on Natsume.

"That Baka, what did she put on my food? Suddenly I felt something tingly." Natsume thought.

OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

Okay guys! This chapter should be okay for now. But before I leave, here's a preview of the next chapter:

"Who was that girl?"

"She's Luna Koizumi, J-Pop singer and artist. Why?"

"Luna Koizumi? What the! I can't let Natsume be with her! Wait, what am I feeling? Am I jealous? What should I be jealous of? Maybe I should make him jealous…"

OooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooO

Please review after! I'll update ASAP! Thank you so much for the reviews! And sorry for the long wait!
