Why no reviewer love for Chapter 2? TT_TT I really like reading reviews so I was wondering why so few people were reviewing when so many were reading it :(. Well, I'll talk more about that at the bottom note.
Maka POV
Oh my god. I can't believe my landlord just walked into the café. Should I hide? Oh no, he saw me. Should I run? How the hell did he find me in the first place? Is he actually sitting down and ordering? Nooo! He just asked for me as a server. FML.
"Hi, Maka dear. I didn't know you worked here." He said clearly lying. I mean, he was looking for me. Did he follow me here or something? Oh well, time to get this over with.
"Hey, Mr. Richardson, nice to see you too… what would you like to order?" I reply trying my best not to cringe at his smile once again.
"I'll have the omelet rice, thank you. Would you write "Master" on it for me like a dear?" he said clearly with perverted thoughts.
"Sure… coming right up…" I say trying to walk away as quickly as possible, and hopefully being able to push the order to somebody else. Great, just my luck, everyone else is busy. I guess I will just have to put up with it.
"Here is your omelet rice, with the "saying" you wanted on top. Enjoy" I say getting ready to walk away. I really did not feel comfortable around my landlord, especially because of the intent in his eyes and his just super creepy smile.
"Why, thank you Maka. Here's a tip just for you…" he says and I see him reaching to touch my butt. Oh my god this can't be happening. As he is about to touch me, however, an arm pulls me back.
Soul POV
I am starving. I just went to visit Liz to have a drink, but Kid was there so I couldn't get her to cook me some food because apparently her time with "Kiddie" was way more important than me, an actual customer. She did, however, recommend me a cafe fairly close by. Apparently, a friend of hers works there and another one owns the place. Maybe if I say I know her, they'll give me a discount.
I walk past a couple of cool shops and stop to go into a music store to check out if they got any cool music. As I look through some of the DVDs by the store window, I see this pedophile looking dude walk past. Well, I didn't know if he was a pedophile, but he looked creepy enough to be one. I decide to ignore him for now and continued looking. I found nothing that really interests me so I left to go find that café. After getting lost about 2 times, I find the place. It's a… maid café? Never been to one of those before. I walk in and the first thing that I see is that weird dude trying to touch… is that the girl I saw last night? Well, regardless of who it is, I guess I got to help like someone cool would. I walk over quickly and pull her away from him. She ends up actually half falling onto me but I don't fall. The guy looks at me like I have ten heads and all I say is, "What the hell were you trying to do?"
Maka POV
I look up at my supposed "savior" and realize it's the guy from last night. I think his name was Soul. I wonder what he was doing here. But that's not really important now. My landlord looks dumbfounded and Tsubaki just walked out of her office wondering what's going on like the rest of the customers. I walk from Soul's arms and towards my landlord and slap him.
"What the hell Mr. Richardson? Why the hell were you trying to touch my butt? In case you didn't know, one of our stores policies is NO TOUCHING." I say looking at him like he was scum. Tsubaki walks over with the camera and takes his photo. He gets up and leaves and I finally start to calm down.
"Thank you for helping me." I say to Soul who is still standing where he was when he saved me.
"It's cool. Only doing what was right. Maka" He says with a smirk on his face. "Now, can I get some food? I'm starving."
"Of course you can, and on the house too!" a voice chimes from the back. Tsubaki is back again and has a table and seat ready for him. "Think of it as thanks for helping Maka."
"It's fine. I don't like to not pay for what I eat. Are you the boss here?" He says still with the same smirk on his face.
"Yes, nice to meet you. I'm Tsubaki Nakatsukasa." She introduces herself with a smile. "I see you already know Maka."
"Yeah, we met last night when I bumped into her by accident. I'm Soul." He says look at me then at Tsubaki.
"Nice to meet you Soul. What would you like to order?" Tsubaki then asked.
"An omelet rice, one parfait, and a sweet tea." He said after looking at the menu.
"Coming right up. And one more thing, would you please escort Maka home after you are done eating. I think she has had a rough day and I think that pervert might still be around." She asked with a pleading look on her face.
"Hm… sure. As long as Maka doesn't mind." He says looking at me. I realize that I have just been standing there like an idiot the entire time. My cheeks flush because I'm still as little in shock about what just happened and I'm a little embarrassed to have him see me in full maid costume. I wonder why, since he is basically like a stranger. Well, I guess I can't call him a stranger anymore.
"I don't mind. Thanks." I reply with a small smile on my face.
"Okay then. Just wait till I finish eating and I'll walk you." He said with the smirk once again returning to his face. I wonder why I keep looking at his face. Maybe because he is handsome? No, Maka! You can't think stuff like guys are handsome. They are all the same lying bastards like your father. But Soul doesn't seem like a bad guy. He did save me after all. He also is willing to walk me home. But, it's not the time to be thinking about stuff like this. I have to get changed and ready to go home while Soul eats. I hurry to the locker rooms and change.
Soul POV
So it seems that it really was that girl from last night. She looks pretty good in a maid costume. I guess I acted on instinct before and kind of pulled her away from that pervy guy and half hugged her. She was really small compared to me. I'm 5'11 and pretty muscular due to working out with Black Star. She looked around 5'6 or a little taller than that. I couldn't really see her that well last night, but now she looks even prettier in the sunlight. And her legs… Oh my god Soul, what are you thinking. She might be a minor or something. Plus, she probably has a boyfriend. But, maybe she doesn't…hm…
I don't have time to think about her right now though because my food looks delicious, and I am starving. After I finish my food, I go get Maka from the staff room in the back and thank Tsubaki for the delicious food. We start walking to where she lives when she says, "So why did you help me?"
"Well… because cool guys help girls when they are about to be molested by perverted old men?" I say back with an inquisitive look on my face.
"True, that is pretty cool of you, I guess" she smiles looking straight into my eyes. I notice how green her eyes are and how they remind me of a forest.
"Thank you. So you live close by?" I ask her as we turn a corner into a crowded street.
"Yeah, just 2 blocks from here." She says. She suddenly gets bumped into by a crowd of people passing by. I grabbed her hand to keep her from falling and ends up pulling her up into a sort of half hug. I feel my face heating up and I swear I saw her face turning a little pink too.
"Uh… thank you." She says, walking out of the awkward hug but still not letting go of my hand.
She starts leading me towards her house, and through the rough crowd. We finally reach her house but she seems a little apprehensive to walk inside.
"What's wrong Maka? Something bothering you?" I ask with concern.
"Well… that guy from before is actually my landlord. I'm scared of what he will do now." She says, clearly with a stressed face.
"How about I walk you to your room. I can even talk to the guy for you if you want. Teach him how to be a cool guy like me, and not a pedophile." I say with my signature smirk once again returning to my face.
"Would you really do that for me?" she said with almost shock on her face.
"Of course, because that's what cool guys do." I grin.
"Thanks Soul." She says leading me into the apartment. We go to her door and there on the front door, there was letter with big red words on the front of it: EVICTED.
So what do you guys think? :D I finally thought up a plot after thinking all night. I actually came up with an idea for another story that will probably be a series of one-shots that I will compile. So thanks to all my reviewers~!
KHloverxcyn: I hope that you feel that this story will be awesome :) aka. I hope I do not disappoint you all~!
SoulLoVEr-XD: Thank you for reviewing once again~! I like all kinds of magical creatures in fact :) but I really want to see the day that a Panda will be able to use a jet pack and fly around the world eating bamboo. I think that would be sincerely awesome to watch.
nessie-boo: Thank you for reviewing and thinking that I'm not creepy :D was this chapter a little surprising for you? XD
Sebastian's Kat: Wrong~! It was the landlord. But good guess. I was deciding last night who it was going to be and I finally decided that it was better for the plot I had in mind if I used the landlord. Thank you for reviewing once again~! Hope you liked this chapter ^_^
D-MINI-Q: You were the first reviewer for this chapter this week~! Congrats? :) Thank you for reviewing again. I am so happy that you love my story XD I literally jump for joy whenever I get a new review and I was really sincerely happy to hear that somebody LOVES IT! Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
So now it's time for the ending note that nobody really reads. I thank everybody that actually reads the bottom authors note because you guys are just awesome.
So about the review thing. I don't really care if you do not review, but I start to lose motivation if I think that no one really reads my story and likes it. (BTW this also means that I will release a lot faster if I am happy and motivated!) But I really do appreciate all the people who take the time to read my stories. I mean, I look at the chart of the views and I just smile like a creep. I was really surprised to know that people from around the world read my stories. It's almost like mindblowingly cool for me because I really didn't expect many people to read and like this story as it is my first.
Please review if you have the time and like this story. ~! (I might add more fluff if you do... XD -bribes-)
On a side note: I realize that I abuse horizontal lines in this story.
