So I'm back! I didn't update this weekend because I was really busy and you know, I am a normal kid. Kind of, but I am a full on otaku and really weird sometimes. But, more about this kind of stuff on the bottom note.
Also, please check out my other story that I started and actually uploaded this weekend. It's called SAT Words and basically I use a word that I am currently studying as a theme for the story. Check it out and review if you have the time.
BTW: This is mostly dialogue and I use spaces a lot but I think it's better if I do this style of editing better. Please write in the reviews if you like the way I wrote this or the way I wrote the past chapters better! :D
Maka POV
What the hell? I'm kicked out of my freaking house? Where the hell do I go now?
I rush downstairs to where my landlord is and basically kick down the damned door.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"Well, Maka dear, you disobeyed your master so I have to punish you now don't I dear?"
Creep.
"Where the hell am I supposed to go now huh?"
"Figure that out by yourself and get back to me when you do." He replied shooing me off with a wave of his hand, a creepy smile never leaving his face.
I was speechless and I walk back up to my apartment where Soul is standing there reading the letter of eviction.
"Hm… effective immediately, must get out of the house… basic stuff."
"What do you mean, basic stuff? I just got kicked out of my damn house!" I say now starting to tear up from frustration. Where the hell am I supposed to go? Tsubaki lives with her brother and I can't bother her like this, and Kid has Liz so I can't bother them. Arghh damn my lack of a social life!
"Well… you can always stay with me."
I look to Soul as if I didn't hear him correctly.
Stay with him…? Like, living together? But we just met and…
"In exchange for being my live in maid."
"What?"
"You heard me. Maid. You clean, you stay. You stay at my house and become my maid and I will let you stay for free until you find another place to live. It seemed from that look on your face before, that you have nowhere else to go.
"Well…"
Damn it. He's right. And also evil. Damn it Maka, think. You got nowhere else to go and he is offering a room just for cleaning.
"Okay… but if you try anything funny-"
"Don't worry, I won't."
"Then fine."
We pack up my stuff and it was decided that we would move everything tomorrow. I stayed in bed all night just thinking about it.
What the hell did I just get myself into?
Soul POV
The next morning I woke up and looked at the alarm clock.
9:00am
I was supposed to meet up with Maka at… 9:15? Oh crap. I'm late.
I get there at 9:35 and the first thing I hear as I pull up is,
"What the hell took you so long?"
"Er…sorry?"
"Never mind. I got all the stuff by myself anyway so just let me put the stuff into the trunk."
I was about to help her with the luggage when she took the hugest bag and lifted it like it was nothing and put it in the trunk. Then she put the other one in and closed the trunk.
"Okay, let's go."
"Uh…Okay."
What the hell was that? Were girls that strong?
"Uh Soul, you can start driving now."
"Oh, right. Yeah. Totally was about to um drive."
What was I flustered? Was I actually impressed? Nah, you've seen tons of girls that strong before right? Like…
"SOUL!"
"Wait what?"
I snap out of my dreamy state just in time to push the brake on the petal.
"What the hell? You could have gotten us KILLED."
"Like hell. I just ALMOST passed a stop sign."
"A stop sign is there for a reason."
"Yeah, but cool people don't follow the rules."
"Who said that was cool?"
"I did, not shush, we got to hurry to make the light."
"SOUL!"
I snicker as I crank up the gas and off we go.
Maka POV
Soul has to be the worst driver ever. He passed 3 stop signs and almost passed 2 red lights! It does not take a good driver to know that he was not driving correctly just to piss me off.
We finally get to his house and the first thing I say is, "WOW."
What the hell man? I never thought he was freaking rich? His bathroom is the size of my freaking apartment.
I walk around in disbelief for a second before I hear Soul say,
"Well this is your room."
He points to a room on the farther end of his luxurious home.
It was huge. The entire room had a warm yet refreshing feeling. The walls were a light shade of blue with the ceiling white. There was a walk in closet and a dresser on one side of the room and a bed on the other.
"Sorry it's kind of small."
"Small? You call this small. This is larger than my entire house. I can't believe you live here."
"Yeah, sometimes I don't believe I live here either. But, then again, I'm barely ever home anyway. Make yourself at home for now and get dressed for lunch in like… 2 hours?"
"Are we going out to eat?"
"Yeah, with some friends of mine that said they wanted to meet you since I told them about you staying at my house for a while."
"Oh okay then."
"But before that," he says with a smirk," let's set up some ground rules."
So in the end we arranged that I would cook every day for dinner and clean every other day. That didn't seem that hard because I had worked in the kitchen of the café for a while before becoming a waitress. Also, his house was pretty clean in the first place so cleaning would not be hard.
"So you ready for lunch?"
"Yeah, just hold on a sec," I say trying to fix my hair, "just got to fix my hair a bit."
Soul POV
Maka finally gets out after like 10 minutes in the bathroom and the only thing I can do is stare. Damn, she's actually pretty hot. Well… not hot really. Just, beautiful I guess. She was sporting a casual dress that had puffed sleeves and was button down to her waist where there was a belt. The hem reached up to a few inches above her knee and it showed off her long legs. I was awoken from my trance when I heard her call out, "Soul, it's time to go now right?"
"Uh, yeah."
We step out of my condo when we reach an obstacle; an obstacle that I thought would never even happen.
"You. Expect me. To get. On. THAT DEATH BIKE OF DOOM?"
"It is not a bike of doom. This is Jazz, my baby."
"Last time I checked, babies did not have wheels."
"Well, I am speaking metaphorically, she is as important as a baby. The only difference is that she is way cooler than any baby that has ever existed."
"I am not getting onto that thing."
"She is not a thing. Now get on or else we'll be late. I know how you are just sooo punctual."
"Fine. But if I die-"
"Then you will be taking me with you to wherever the heck we go to when we die and so on." I say with my hand pretending to be her. I almost laugh out loud at the face she makes.
"Argh just shut up Soul. Wait a minute. I never got your last name."
"Well I got my cool last name and my stupid last name. Which one do you want?"
"Both."
"You're so needy sometimes you know," I say with a smirk "but I'll comply just this once."
I stick my hand out to her, "Nice to formally meet you. I'm Soul Eater Evans."
"Maka Albarn. Nice to meet you too, now let's get going before we're really late."
We drive off to the place that we were set to meet, a small cozy restaurant in the less populated area of Death City.
We walk in an reserve a table for 4.
"So who are they? The people you want me to meet?"
"A good friend of mine and her boyfriend, they were so excited to find out that I actually talked to a girl."
"Why would they be excited about that? You look like the type to have had a bunch of girlfriends already."
"Nah, I've never really had a real girlfriend. I stopped trusting women after my mom left my family for another guy. My brother and I had to live by ourselves for like 2 weeks alone when we were little because she just left one day."
"That's horrible. I understand why you wouldn't trust women. I don't usually trust men either. My dad did the same thing as your mom did, but he actually told me and my mom straight up that he was just leaving us. My mom was so sad for so long. But now she has a boyfriend and they travel around together; that's why I lived alone."
"I guess we got things in common after all Albarn."
Maka POV
The mood was pretty nice now. I guess we have a lot of stuff in common. I wonder why I told Soul everything though. We just met 2 days ago, and were basically strangers. Maybe because he shared his story with me? Sigh. I really don't know anymore. The past few days have been so tiresome but now it feels so comfortable. The silence was interrupted when we heard footsteps coming near us.
I turn around to see who it was and I was met with a surprise.
"Liz?"
So now I abuse both horizontal lines AND the enter button. Great TT_TT I'm a keyboard abuser.
So thank you to all the people who reviewed this chapter, I love you all.

Guest: I will. :) Thank you for the review~!
Now it is time for the REAL AUTHORS NOTE! HAHA! -inserts dramatic music-
The note is actually not dramatic at all. Just some thoughts and such that no one really reads because they only clicked and read for the good stuff, the story. :) but thank you to those that do read this. You are special beings XD
So the reason why I didn't update this weekend was because I went shopping on Saturday after I had piano lessons and was really tired.
On Sunday my friend came over and she went with me and my mom and my mom's friend to this place in Manhattan (New York) (Don't stalk me) that serves legit Japanese food. I got takoyaki and omonoyaki ( I can't spell) and other epic stuff and we got home pretty late and I ate too much so I was too tired to write and upload.
So now I write this on a Monday at 11:30pm and hope that people will review~!
Innuendo: REVIEW. It motivates me to write more and overall cheers me up when I get sad :)
Just wondering though, anyone of you read or watch Mirai Nikki? I just finished the manga yesterday at like 4am and I was kind of disappointed at the ending. Kind of, like... too happy? I don't know, it's kind of too happy for it to be an ending to such a violent and twisted manga and anime don't you think? I haven't finished the anime yet, but I hope to do so by like tomorrow.
Have a nice week everybody~! And remember to review~! ( I will donate money to help find a real unicorn if you do~!)
