When I fall in Love

CHAPTER IV – RENDEZVOUS

Monday - 0700H

Wanted: Wedding planner for the soon to be Senoh-Harada Nuptials.

The billionaire bachelorette and the daughter of the multi-million company of Senoh Travelers Co. are about to held the wedding in two months time. The wedding planner to be chosen should have come up with a simple yet elegant wedding set up within the said period. For those who are interested just contact +8127785426 and look for Ms. Senoh.

Shizuru thought of this as an opportunity to achieve her goal since everyone knows that Chie Harada is a Billionaire Bachelorette and therefore a friend of Natsuki's. She quickly dialed the numbers and after her conversation, Aoi Senoh was convinced to set an appointment to FS Weddings Inc.

Wednesday - 1330H

FS Weddings Inc.

"You're brilliant Fujino-san! I'm sure you can make my dream wedding come true!" an ecstatic Aoi Senoh exclaimed.

"It's all part of the job, Senoh-han. And since we'll be working together from now on, let's just drop the formalities, you can call me Shizuru"

"That would be nice, and dear, you can call me Aoi. Regarding your plan about my fiance's friend, Natsuki, I'll be sure to support the both of you. That woman always looks so distant to the world. I know she had no luck in her past relationships so I'm sure she could use someone like you."

"Gomen Aoi-han but you got it all wrong. I don't plan on marrying or getting together with her but instead I'll make sure she marries before this year bids goodbye."

"That's quite unfortunate; you two would make such a cute couple. Your bubbly personality with her stubborn one would be a good combination. Anyhow, good luck with that! Hey, may I tell this to Chie? I can't hide anything from her. She seems to always sense when I have something I'm not telling her."

"It's alright. I understand that as a couple, you find it hard to keep secrets from each other. But please, do ask her to be silent about this." The wedding planner said.

"Sure will! Now then, since I have you as my official wedding organizer, I'll leave everything in your care."

"Thank you for trusting FS Weddings. We'll make sure to bring your wedding dream to life!"

Aoi was amazed by the shop's achievements and Shizuru's personal credentials since she did her own little research after she got a call from her. She was sure to say yes already but Shizuru mentioned about her other reason for wanting the job and that got Aoi more interested and accepted her as their wedding planner.

Two weeks after they got the project, Aoi had already spent a lot of time with the wedding planner.

"Oh Shizuru! I'm really getting worked up. I didn't know it was this hard to plan a wedding. There are still so many things to do and we only have a month and a half left. I'm not even sure if I wanna marry Chie anymore!"

"Don't say that Aoi! You're just nervous. Every bride-to-be goes through this tension so you don't have to freak out about it. Besides I'm sure Chie would go mad if you cancel on her now."

"Speaking of that woman, she's supposed to be here now. I asked her to meet me here after her meeting a while ago. She knows how crazy I get when she's not around!"

"Really?"

"Of course!" Aoi said unconsciously.

"Now I know my love. Don't worry I'll never leave your side again."

"Chie! Where were you?"

"I'm sorry babe. My car's got a little trouble but I came as soon as I can. Good thing Natsuki was on the way so she drove me here."

Tension was visible in the room and as if on cue, Natsuki stepped inside the office. Chie and Aoi were waiting for either of their friends to move because they know both of Natsuki and Shizuru's story.

Is that Natsuki? I've seen her in the magazine the other day but I didn't expected her to be this gorgeous in person now! I mean, look at her! Damn it Shizuru, you're already staring at her! Thought the wedding planner.

She was about to speak but another person came in from the door, one of her coordinators, Sakura.

"Hey Shiz! Our delivery boy got sick so I had to deliver the supplies here myself." Sakura scanned the room and thought that she must have walked in on something important.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know you had clients so I came in without knocking."

"Don't worry. I'll just ask someone to unload the supplies from your van."

Seeing her friend's eyes glued to a certain someone, an idea crept in her mind.

"By the way, long time no see Kuga-han. Arigatou for driving my client here."

"No problem. And please just call me Natsuki."

"My friend here is a fan of yours. Natsuki meet Sakura, Sakura meet Natsuki. She is a single hard working young woman. You might take interest in her."

Natsuki faced Sakura and shook her hand. She scanned the girl for a bit then faced back to Shizuru's desk.

"I'm sorry but I'm not interested with your friend. Actually I came here to see you, Shizuru." The bachelorette said with her most charming smile. Shizuru was taken aback by this and stood frozen for a while till she heard the door opening.

"I gotta go now. I'm sorry for interrupting you guys." Sakura said with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"You didn't have to use me to reject her you know. You're as evil as ever!"

"Me? Evil? Hah! Look who's talking! And for the record, I did come here to see you!"

"Oh my! Looks like our little Natsuki's got a crush on our wedding planner!" said Aoi.

"Shhh! You're ruining their moment." Chie scolded.

Hearing the couple speak, reminded Shizuru of their presence.

"Oh please! Do you think I'll fall for that Natsuki? Who would believe you drove my client here just for that reason? You must be planning something!"

"There you are again. Accusing me with words that I should be referring to you. I know what you're planning and you'll never succeed!"

"Don't talk finish yet! You'll be marrying before this year ends and soon enough I'll follow."

"But honey, why follow when we can share the altar at one wedding?" Natsuki said.

"What do you mean?"

"You're the one that I'm gonna get married to, darling."

"Are you insane? I'm not going to marry a jerk like you!"

"Just so you know, I get what I want and you can't do anything about it. I'm here now and I'm planning to stay. Don't talk finish yet, honey. Right back at you."

Natsuki left the office with a frustrated Shizuru.

My plans… she's messing with me! I know those sweet words are just for revenge. She's going to make me fall in love, use me and just dump me right away! I won't fall for her! NEVEEERRRRR!

The aura in the office started to change so before their wedding planner losses her sanity and destroys the office, Aoi spoke up.

"I knew you two were a match! We'll be back tomorrow for the details on the guest listings. Bye!" said Aoi while walking to the door's direction.

"Take care of my friend future Mrs. Kuga, she's fragile but she's worth it. Don't tell her I told you that! Bye!" Chie said as she was being dragged outside by her fiance. "Looks like there'll be more excitement in planning our wedding than we expected, baby." Aoi just giggled.

For the second time in her life. All was left, is a speechless Shizuru.

END OF CHAPTER

OMAKE!

Sora: And cut! Good take! Hey, Shizuru, scene's over. Pick up your jaw.

Shizuru: My Natsuki just proposed to me… and you… you made me reject her! Do you know how long I've been waiting for her to say that? Huh?

Sora: Well technically she's not yours yet…

Shizuru: Then to whom does she belong to?

Sora: She's mine of course! Bwahahahahaha! …ouch! …hey, who turned off the lights? …AHHHHHHHH… silence.
