Chapter 8
Natsuki's POV
Natsuki unlatched the door quietly and peeked out. No one is around. She looked down and saw her sandals that she had left and she picked them up and closed the door.
L's POV
Instead of working on the case L was laying in bed thinking about Natsuki completely worried and upset. His face expression had slowly changed from calming to bothered.
'I have to make things right with her. I can't just forget about what I did.'
L sat up and got out of bed and headed for the door and walked through the hall to her room. He knocked her door and there was no answer. He took a key out of his pocket that he swiped from her pocket and unlocked the door.
'I shouldn't be coming into her place like this, but if I don't do this she will just avoid me.'
L walked in and looked around to find Natsuki asleep on the couch hugging a pillow in her arms. He quietly closed the door and walked towards her his hands still in his pockets. She looked beautiful, but sad to him as he examined her face expression. He went on his knees and gently ran his fingers through her soft black hair and he came closer to her and rested his forehead against the side of her head.
"I'm sorry," he whispered gently in her ear.
Natsuki's POV
That voice she knew that was L's voice. Was she just dreaming or did she really hear him. If he really was in her room then how the hell did he get in. She moved her fingers a bit and slowly woke up to find his face close to hers and she screamed. L jumped and fell back and landed on his butt with a loud thud.
"..Ow," he said.
"How did you get in here!? L!? What the hell!?," she got up fast and paced back and forth.
"I had a key so I can get in here,"he said without any hesitation or shame.
"How in the world did you get that key?," her mouth dropped open.
"I well...I swiped it from you when you and I were having that struggle for my computer plug,"he said to her and his eyes darkened a bit more than usual.
Natsuki rubbed her forehead and didn't look at him as she had her hand out to his direction.
"Give me the key please."
L reached into his baggy jean's pocket and took the silver key out and handed it to her and she took it quickly.
"You shouldn't be coming into someone's hotel room like that. You're lucky that I know you or else I would've reported you to the hotel manager by now."
"Even if you did tell him he wouldn't tell me anything. May I remind you that I am a well known detective who is doing investigations here...He'll just think that you are a suspect of mine. So you telling him or anyone is pointless."
Natsuki's knuckles clenched and she walked towards him and grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"Don't ever do this again L. I'm serious. Stop being such a creep in trying to come into my room like how you did now."
L rubbed her hand lightly then stopped.
"I can't promise you anything."
