RINGING BELLS
Disclaimer : I don't own anything. And I will probably NEVER own it, ever~
This will be written in Natsume's POV.
Since the day I apologized to her and also confessed to her again, she has been back to the silent treatment mood. Every time I'm looking at her, she would quickly look away as if she saw a monster right in front of her eyes.
I've also been lying to Yui and I feel really bad about that. I didn't mean to lie to her, but I have to. One day, I have to confront her and tell her the truth. She's a really nice girl and I don't deserve her. If only she could find another man that can replace me and she really loves that guy.
Mikan was running out of class again. I overheard something about, she wanted to go to Central to buy some groceries. I decided to follow her.
"Hey. Wait up!" I caught up with her and grabbed her hand.
"Huh? Let go, Natsume. Yui might see." Mikan shrugged my hand off.
"Grocery shopping? Want a hand?" I offered her. Ignoring the sting feeling of her rejection to my heart.
"No. I can do it myself." It's obvious that she's trying to avoid me. She doesn't want to get hurt again if I have to leave. It's really obvious.
"I insist." I took her arm and dragged her to my car.
"NO! Stop it, Natsume!!" she shouted at me. I was shocked. She looked really angry and mad. "I'm sorry. But I really don't need your help. I know how to take the bus."she told me.
"I thought, you already forgave me? Why are you being like that?" damn my ego!
"I accept your apology. But I told you, I don't need your help for grocery shopping." she walked away.
"I told you I love yo-" she stopped suddenly.
"Please don't tell me that you love me. I'm not ready to be...with you..again...yet. Please." Mikan pleaded me.
I shook my head. "What? What's the problem with you!?"
"I have a lot of problem. That's why, we shouldn't be together," she told me off. A bus stopped by the bus stop and she quickly got in. I ran to the bus but the driver said, no more seats available.
'DAMN!'
Swearing didn't help me. I really love her and why can't she just accept my apology? She said she did. But she's still hurting! I don't want her hurt!
I decided to go to her the first thing tonight. To apologize again. And to tell her, that I really mean my feelings that I love her.
"Where are you going this late at night?" Yui asked me when she saw me coming out of my room.
"I just want to walk around." I answered her. Not wanting to tell her the truth.
I walked to around the park, so Yui won't be suspicious. After about 45 minutes walking, I decided to go to her room.
"What are you doing here?" she asked me.
"I need to tell you something. And I'm deadly serious about it. Please, listen to me, can you?" I nearly pleaded. But thankfully to me ego, and I could sustain my poker face.
"Get straight to the point, can you?" she told me.
"If I tell you I love you, will you accept me? If I tell you, I really meant my sorries and I really want to be with you again, will you forgive me?"
"Natsu-" Mikan said my name but before I could allow her to finish, I pressed my lips to hers.
She pushed me away again. This time, she didn't kiss me back. It was an instant reflex.
"Can you stop kissing me!? I don't think I have to talk you tonight. Good night, Natsume." she closed the door in front of my face.
That done it. I manage to piss her off, didn't I?
END CHAPTER
The next chapter will be written in Mikan's POV again.
Sneak Peek on Chapter 4:
'Why must he love me?' I thought to myself.
"Please." he went down on his knees and gave showed me a ring. I cried.
"I can't." I held back my tears. "Yui..is your fiancée. I'm the third party." I said and ran away.
