Hey everyone that reads this story and follows it and reviews it! :D I love all of you for being so kind and reading my first fanfiction. I have the replies to the reviews on the bottom authors note because I know that too much author stuff in the beginning is annoying. To me, at least ^_^ Enjoy~!
Maka POV
I was walking home from the café when this guy bumps into me. I had a rough day so I acted a little harshly by saying "Hey! Watch where you're going!" but you can't really blame me. There were so many stupid customers today. One of them tried to touch my butt and I shoved him onto the floor. He said that he would get the police involved but he was the one violating the store policy. This is why I hate men so much. They can't seem to take the blame and blame others in their stead. It was the same with my father. When he was talking to my mother about the affair, he kept going on and on about how lonely she had made him by not being home all the time and going to work. He didn't even consider the fact that he was the one gone all night when my mother was all alone. Men are all the same.
I hate to admit it, but this guy was pretty handsome. His crimson eyes and mysterious hair color intrigued me. But this was no time to be staring at a complete stranger. I noticed he was looking at me.
"Why are you looking at me like that? Are you some kind of pervert?" I said with a book ready to Maka-Chop his head off if he was going to try something.
"Sorry about that. My name's Soul, what's yours?" he replied.
Hm. It seems he is not that bad. More than half the people I bump into usually just keep walking without even acknowledging my existence. Soul. That's an interesting name. Never heard of another name like it. I wonder why he is wearing a suit around here. People around these parts usually can't even afford suits. But I can't stay silent forever. I guess it wouldn't hurt to be friendly.
"Maka. It's fine. Just don't bump into me again." I say starting to walk off. I turn back again and say "See you around…Soul."
"Yeah, see you around… Maka." He said with a smile. I notice his pointed teeth and admire them for a second before I walk away. He was interesting alright.
Soul POV
I watched her walk away and when she turned to corner I continued walking. She seemed nice enough. She looked my age but had her hair put up in pigtails. You don't see that everyday do you? Then again, I usually don't apologize to people in the first place.
I walk to Liz's bar and sit on one of the stools.
"How's it going Soul? You doing alright? You seem kind of tired today.", she asked with a smile on her face like always. Liz and I met a while back when we were both in a music store. We became good friends when we found out we both like Jazz. She told me about her bar and I went for a visit and now I come here almost every day.
"Just came back from a stupid meeting with my dad and co. They spent 8 hours talking about unicorns and classical music. Some stupid guy at the end of the table talked about using rainbow colored music sheets and I'm just sitting there trying not to laugh." I reply with my signature smirk.
"That sounds hilarious. You should have totally recorded it and put it on Youtube and title it "Rich People Just LOVE Unicorns" and it would definitely go viral." She said as she laughed.
"Great idea. Next time I got to a meeting with those bimbos I'll be sure to bring a camera. Now, can you get me a shot of vodka, on the rocks?"
"Sure Soul, coming right up." She said as she went to go make my order.
I sit back and start to relax after a hard day's work. I became the heir to the company after my older brother, Wes, went to go pursue his dreams as a chef. He has a 5 star restaurant in Paris now. He treats me to dinner every time I go visit France. I should at least get that much in turn for having to be the one to go through all the training and school. I'm only 21 and yet I feel like I'm 30.
Liz comes back with my drink and I drank it all down in one gulp. I thank her for the drink and pay and set out to go home. I need some sleep, and I need some NOW.
Maka POV
Out of all the people I had to bump into as I walk into my apartment building, I had to walk into my stupid perv of a landlord.
"Hi Maka dear. How's it going?" he said with a lewd smile on his face.
"Um, fine thank you. I have to go home and rest now but maybe we can talk another time in the future." I reply, desperate to escape from having a conversation with him.
"Well, okay then Maka." He replied with still the same expression on his face.
"Okay, then bye." I cringe at his smile and quickly walk up the stairs to my apartment.
My apartment is nothing much but it is enough so that I have a bathroom, a small tv, a desk and a bed to sleep in. The only really bad part about this apartment is again, my landlord. He is a perverted old man and when I first moved in, tried to make a move. I quickly dismissed him and accepted the room anyway. I had nowhere else to go but here. As long as I stay clear of my landlord, life is great. I got my books and a place to sleep. That's already enough for me because I am really just a very simple girl.
I go to work the next day and notice somebody familiar walk in…
