I'm Yours
Mai Pov
I stood in front of the office, feeling my heart hammering hard against my ribs, tightening my grip on my bag.
I don't think this is going to work out.
Shaking my head in disbelief, I turned around to run back home when I heard a clear of a throat making me stop in my tracks.
"Mai-chan?" I heard my name. I slowly turned to see Masako looking as though she didn't expect me to be here after all is my day off.
"Um… Hi Masako-chan!" I waved at her, as she covers her face with her hand. I place my bag behind my back so she won't spot it, but I'm sure she did by now.
"What are you doing here?" she questions walking towards me, each step she took made me nervous, so I scratched the back of my head laughing like an idiot.
"I forgot something, and…." but my words are cut off when I see Naru coming out from the door, adjusting his jacket.
"I'm ready, and…. Mai?" He lifts his gaze to look at me almost as though he wasn't expecting me to be here.
Are they going on another date? My heart drops to my stomach, but kept my smile on, even though my palms began to sweat.
"Mai told me that she forgot something, well Mai-chan, I'll see you later, oh and happy Valentine's days." she smiles, then goes around me. I could feel my heart breaking as I look at Naru, his eyes were on me, but his cold sight never left.
I wish I knew what you're thinking of. Have fun then.
"Bye," I bowed, as Naru slowly nods and ends up walking around me but stops right next to me.
"Mai," his voice is soft, and deep, almost making me weak in my knees to the point I got goosebumps. I lift my gaze to look at him.
"Y… Yes?" I nervously answered him.
"I ran out of tea, by the end of the day, I want you to restock," he simply order in his usual tone. I felt a vein pop as I stare at him.
"Oi, today is my day off, plus it's valentines day. I have plans." I said, well is not completely a lie, I do have to do some shopping and do laundry. My friends are too busy with their boyfriends or family, so I don't have anything to do besides that.
Geez, your life is full of excitement since you began college. I still have unrequited love for Naru, after three years, it seems like nothing will be happening between us. To be honest, I feel like he's getting closer to Masako-chan lately. Yet I am a fool falling harder and harder for him as time pass and he's so handsome even more so than when I first met him in high school. Whom am I fooling, he doesn't like you at all.
"Can't you get it yourself? Or ask Masako-chan to get it for you." I pout out bitterly causing Naru to arch his brow up.
"I can give you another day off, but no pay Mai. Last time I checked you're my assistant, not Miss. Hara. Tonight Mai, I want it by tonight." with that, he turns to follow Masako.
I sigh and rub my face with my free hand, placing my bag forward and I frowned.
"Well then, I'll go now then, I don't want to see him." with that I turned to head to buy his stupid tea, now wanting to cry.
…
…
…
"There," I smiled feeling happy about my work as I adjust the bag on top of Naru's table. I sat on his chair to look at the picture frame he has of him and his brother when they were younger, he added it last year. I took it (Since it sat next to the computer) and brought it close to me.
"You two are so cute." I move my hand to trace Naru, since he's the one with arms crossed while Gene is smiling from ear to ear, both were in a park. I couldn't help but smile warmly at the picture, not taking my eyes off Naru.
"You know it's rude to enter someone's office to spy," I heard in front of me, I jump back, dropped the picture on top of the desk, and lift my gaze to see Lin arching a brow at me.
"L… Lin-san, you almost gave me a heart attack," I rubbed my chest trying to control my heartbeat. Lin smirks, but then crosses his arms in front of his torso.
"Mai?" He was waiting for me.
"Oh, I was…. I was bringing tea bags for Naru, I'm about to leave. Happy Valentines." I nervously said as I walk out but not before fixing Naru's picture frame,(Placing it back to it where it belongs,) which thankfully wasn't broken, and pushed in his chair.
"Mai," Lin quesitons me.
"Yes?" I look up at him, rubbing my arms, feeling so nervous all of the sudden.
Why am I nervous? I didn't do anything.
"Can you help me with something? I need some documents since tomorrow we have to go to our new case," he said to me.
"What documents?"
"Didn't Oliver bring any documents yesterday? It's the blueprints of the building and some background information?" he asks me.
Oh yes, he did dump a folder on top of my desk yesterday afternoon.
"I place it on the back, come, I'll show you, I was meaning to tell you, but you left early yesterday and to be honest I have forgotten about it since I got stuck doing homework." I laughed nervously.
"It's fine, let's go," he said. I nodded at him, and with that, he held the door for me and we went to get those documents.
…..
…..
…
"Wow this place is huge," I gasped out as I straighten up the papers, since Lin and I sat on the floor, going over the documents in Naru's office since Lin didn't want to go to his.
"It is and this case is darker than normal, remember Mai the buddy system, don't go alone, you tend to get hurt a lot. Last time Oliver almost lost his life and…" I frowned but nodded at him.
"I'll try my best Lin-san, I can't promise you anything, you know how much they come after me. Oh, so what are you doing tonight?" I have changed the subject now wanting to go on to another subject.
I'll be more careful, I don't want Naru to lose his life because of me.
"I have plans, and actually," He glances over his cell phone.
"I have to go, would you mind locking up?"
"Huh?" I watch him stand up and hand me the neat pile, stock of papers he gathered and hands it over to me.
"Wait Lin-san, I got plans too, Naru told me to buy some tea, and it's only four in the afternoon and…." but he ignores me heading for the door.
"Thanks, Mai, see you tomorrow." with that he leaves, making me fall forward in disappointment.
What in the world?
Standing up, my legs were completely numb, that I almost fell, only to feel an arm around my waist holding me in place. Gasping, I look up to see two blue cold orbs looking down at me. My heart jumps, as I self-consciously place my hand on his arm.
"T… Thanks…" I flustered hard, as Naru kept staring at me.
"Next time move your legs so it won't fall asleep," he said. I stare at him, swallowing hard, that I didn't notice I was squeezing his arm.
"Naru," My voice is so quiet.
"Yes?" he asks, his eyes deeply on mine, my heart was quivering hard.
If this keeps up, then I might lose him or never get to know if feels the same. Or at least tell me that he likes Masako-chan. Last time he thought I liked Gene, but this time… I'll be more clear.
"You bought the teas?" he asks as I took notice that his eyes are across the room, looking at his desk. I nodded. (We still held each other,)
"I made sure you would able to see them. I'll place it back soon in the kitchenette." I told him, Naru nods, looking back at me.
"Um," I had no words to say as Naru kept looking at me.
"Have you eaten?" he asks, breaking the silence. I was about to tell him yes, but my stomach betrayed me, as though it had ears, it growls.
"That answers your questions doesn't it?" I nervously laugh. Naru nods, letting go of my waist, now taking notice he was holding me a little longer and more intimately than normal. My face shoots up, but I kept my composure, as I turned to cover my face.
Calm down, heart.
"You can put it away tomorrow, let's go, Lin left and it's only us two in the office," he said taking notice of the bag on top of his desk.
He turns to look at me and then grabs it.
"Let's go? Where?" I turned to see Naru taking out his keys from his jacket.
"Dinner, what else?" he said nonchalantly. I tilted my head to the side.
"Um, didn't you go out with Masako-chan on a date? You're still hungry?" I asked. He stops in his tracks to look at me studying me.
"Date? Did she mention it was a date?" he asks me, I was baffled by this, he seem genuinely surprised by my words.
"Ah… I assumed you two since is valentines day and…."
"Well you assume wrong Mai, I had to take care of something for the case and since Lin couldn't join me, Miss Hara happened to be around, and I took her with me to adjust things for tomorrow, it's all." He clears it out.
I felt a huge relief overcome me, and I took a breath, smiling at him timidly.
"So nothing is going on with her?" I began to fiddle with my fingers.
"Well, she's an important asset to the team, what else is there supposed to be between us? Everything was already settled. Now if you're done navigating me, let's go," he said. Yet his tone is gentle, not gruff, which made me smile even more as a realized that he wanted me to know where he stands with Masako.
"Err, I need to lock up, go on ahead," I told him, and he turns not looking amused by my words.
"No need, I'll order in, I need to go through some things with you since you're already here." I slump my shoulders.
"Even on my day off I work?"
"Even on your day off, don't worry I'll pay you." with that he goes out as I nervously rub my arms.
Maybe I get the courage and confess to him again, even if I get rejected, great Mai, just great.

Naru and I just finished our dinner, which was quite fun because we had small chats and he was asking how was my first year in college going. I was surprised since he normally doesn't ask me, but I felt happy to tell him and he was listening.
"Oh, that's a secret base, then, no wonder Lin-san and I had trouble guessing this room was," I told him while we went over the blueprints once again. Naru sat next to me in the kitchenette sitting on the small round table that Lin installs a few months ago since he wanted somewhere to have his alone time to drink tea.
Naru picks up his cup to drink his fourth tea which I prepared earlier while waiting for our food, I stare at him without noticing that I was doing it.
"Naru," I called out.
"Hmm?" He places his cup down in front of him and turns to look at me. I became nervous that I began to once again play with my fingers.
"I…. um… hope the tea is okay," I nervously said causing Naru to look back at his tea and nod.
"It has hit the spot Mai, what's going n in that brain on yours?" he asks.
"Hmm, I… I want to tell you something important," I nervously said to him.
"Is that so?" he said not noticing his lips twitching up slightly, his eyes on me, enjoying my timidness.
"I…. I want to eat sushi," I lamely stated, as my inner side screams.
What in the world? Sushi? That's not a confession. I can't do this, I'm too scared that he'll reject me.
Naru stares at me a bit taken aback by my sudden words.
"Alright, I order right now," he said, taking out his cell phone from his breast pocket, but I took a hold of his arm and shook my head.
"No, please that's not what I wanted to tell you, I'm already stuffed as it is. I…" I thin out my lips as he kept looking at me.
"Happy Valentine, thank you for spending time with me, I normally spend it with my friends, but this year since they have boyfriends and other things to do, we haven't been spending time together. I wanted to thank you. It means a lot to me." I bow as Naru was startled by my words, but composes himself and clears his throat.
"I'm glad," he simply said, not noticing his cheeks turning slightly pink. I licked my lips and smiled now feeling better as I look up at my boss.
"Seriously Naru, thank you for a lot of things, even though we argue, you're a very important person in my life and I can't picture my life without you."
Naru grabs a hold of his teacup and took a sip, clearing his throat.
"If it gives you any assurance Mai, I like your company as well, after all these years, I hope to continue it in the future." A smile broke on my lips and I slide my seat closer to him, feeling shy, but my heart was so happy.
Knowing him, he won't admit anything, but just being next to him makes me the happiest. I wish I had enough courage to confess to him.

Naru Pov
"So that concludes today…." but as I was interrupted by a soft snore, turning I see Mai playing with her head on her folded arms on top of the table, snoring slightly. I look at my wristwatch to see that it's seven thirty.
She must be exhausted...
I stretched my hand forward and brushed her brown hair behind her ear, watching her wrinkle her nose.
"You sure are something, never seems to amaze me." I smiled tenderly at Mai as I move to wrap my arm around her and move her back and place my arm under her legs and lift her in my arms.
She felt light in my arms, but I enjoyed holding her.
I turned to head for my office. Slowly I kept watching her, seeing her snuggle into y chest, making my heart flutter.
With that I entered my office, I lay Mai down on the couch and made sure she won't fall. Then after I went to my desk to look at the bag, so I took it and slide it towards me. Opening the bag, I see a small red teddy bear with homemade chocolates in a small blue bag, some tea bags, and a note inside.
Silly girl.
I took out the folded pink paper and opened it and began to read it.
Dear Naru:
I'm nervous to write this, but happy Valentine, I baked you some chocolates, I hope it's good for your taste. Don't worry I didn't poison them. Um, thank you for everything you have given me, even though I have no idea how to repay you. Don't take this as a romantic gesture, but a thank you one. I pray that we can continue to work together until the very end. I want to continue to be by your side. You're my special friend that I want to continue to work with. You make my day not boring. Thank you so much,
Much love
Mai Taniyama.
I read, then folded the paper and place it back in the bag. Opening the blue bag, I took out one of her chocolates, and pop it in my mouth. I was surprised by how good it tasted, it's not too sweet either. It melts right in my mouth...
I went around my desk and went up to Mai's sleeping form. I bend down and look down to yank out my second button to place it in her skirt pocket when I froze when Mai was so close to me.
My heart began to race, so fast, that I fist my hands. Her gaze becomes tender, holding power over me once again.
After all these years, she still has that power over me, even after I left, I couldn't stop thinking of her.
I rose my hand and brush my fingers through her hair.
"Naru," her voice is so tender, making me shake, feeling trapped in her as she smiles at me tenderly.
"Yes?" I barely pushed out, now feeling nervous under her gaze, her breath hitching. My eyes flicker to her lips, and this burning in my veins to kiss her hits me hard, while I licked my lips.
Time seems to slow down or something when Mai presses her soft lips on mine cupping my cheeks, to give me a tender kiss. I closed my eyes, to return her kiss, as our hearts were pounding so hard against our ribs, feeling at home. I felt right at home, yearning for her, and not only to kiss her. We move, while I place my hands on her both of her shoulders gently to not to hurt her and pulled her closer to me, deepening the kiss. I felt her small hands holding onto my jacket, trembling, but her kiss felt loving, almost pouring out her love for me making me weak, but kissed almost ravishing her with the same passion.
Maybe the years pent up? Or is it that my love for her grew and keeps growing?
Pulling back, breathing hard, Mai smiles at me blushing hard as I licked my swollen lips looking at her, while my heart tried to calm down. I was a nervous wreck, as I had no clue what to do right now, since that was my first kiss and I was so happy that Mai was the first person I kiss, and the only girl I want to kiss for the rest of my life.
"Naru," Mai timidly calls out as I snap out of my zone since I couldn't stop looking at her.
"Huh?"
"You taste like chocolate," she said as I couldn't help but smirk at her. I took a hold of her hand and hand her over my button. She looks at it in shock as I remove my hand.
"Even though is not a white day or is way overdue from your graduation, I was meaning to give you my second button. I just didn't have the time to give it to you, or something will always interrupt us." I told her. Mai began to cry as I took a breath.
"That day, did you mean me or was it, Gene?" I questioned her. Mai grabs the collar of my jacket and pulls me forward and gave me a chaste kiss, wrapping her arms around me, giving me a soft tight hug, as I wrap my arms around her.
"I love you, Oliver Davis, it always has been you, even if you don't like me." My heart just melted at her confession, and I couldn't resist it anymore, dropping almost, all my barrier down.
I pulled back and looked at her.
"You're wrong Mai," I told her as she looked at me and I move to wipe her tears.
"Huh?"
"I'll always be yours, Mai, I'm just not good at expressing myself, but I'm yours," I assured her. Mai burst out laughing with fresh tears on her face and held me again.
"I'm yours to Naru, so much that I just gave my first kiss to you," she whispers, making me rub her small back. Yet I felt so happy to hear that but kept myself in check to not do anything stupid.
Pulling back, Mai blushes harder as I cleared my throat and I stood up to go to get her chocolates. I place my hands inside and grabbed one.
Mai follows me, and her face pales, looking at me.
"Don't tell me that chocolate taste is from my homemade ones? On no you read the card?" she was horrified. I went up to her and gave her a mischievous smirk.
"How did it taste?" she asks me.
"Hmm, it is poisoned, did you put a love potion in it?" I teased causing her to puff out her cheek.
"No, I'm not a witch to do that. Fine, if you don't like it say so," she reach out to grab my chocolate from my hand, but I popped it in the inside of my mouth and leaned down to surprise her, as I press my lips on hers and began to kiss her, feeling her calm down, feeling the chocolate melt.
Pulling back, she flutters her eyes open in shock as goosebumps overcame me, and smiled at her. She was in shock and awed, but blushing hard, as she place her hands on my shoulder as though she needed to hold herself. She lays her head on my chest, closing her eyes.
"You have no idea how much I love you, you're the only one in my life," she confessed as I place my chin on top of her head and smiled since it was only the two of us, and I felt at peace, for the first time in years, I can let her know.
"I'm bewitched by you Mai. I admit it, Mai, I've been in love with you, since the moment I laid eyes on you three years in your classroom."
