Alright! Chapter 3! I had to fix a few things in the first few chapters and please read the PSA!
Amelia told Naru that she was going to go after her before running after Mai. Amelia called out her name as she ran after Mai, making sure to keep Mai in her sights. Amelia ended up following Mai out of the office and found her sitting on the stairs, crying softly. Amelia slowed down and sat down next to her.
"You know, I was in your shoes before. I loved someone but they loved someone else." Amelia told her quietly. Amelia knew Mai was listening so she continued.
"See, there was this guy when I was in high school. He was my best friend, and I fell in love with him. I decided to tell him one day and he out right rejected me. He told me he loved someone else. Guess who that someone else was?" Amelia had asked her, wrapping an arm around Mai's shoulders.
"Who?" Amelia heard her say quietly, almost so quiet she almost didn't hear her.
"My sister! My older sister. In fact she loved him too and they started a relationship. Oh I was so heartbroken. Poor little fourteen year old me. But I moved on and fell in love with someone else. I met him when I was fifteen, and we started dating when I was sixteen, he was seventeen." Amelia said to Mai, continuing her story.
"Is that someone else Naru?" Mai asks Amelia, now looking at her.
"Yeah, and I want you to know that yes he can be blunt. But I want you to know that I was in the same boat. I know you'll move on and find someone else. Who knows, maybe that person has been right in front of you the whole time." Amelia tells Mai in a soft and comforting tone, keeping her arm around Mai's shoulders.
"You're right, you're really nice. Thank you Amelia-san. I feel a lot better." Mai says, wiping her eyes.
"No problem kid, I'd love for us to be friends. Besides, I think we will get along great! Also, I'll have to have someone keep me from hurting this Hara-san chick." Amelia tells Mai with a big grin on her face.
Mai laughs and Amelia knows she did a good job. Amelia asks Mai if she's ready to go inside and Mai gives Amelia an affirmative. Amelia and Mai both head back inside and Mai goes straight to Naru, who was now standing outside of his office and apologizes to him. Amelia can tell he'll reply with something to insult Mai so she glares at him, crossing her arms. He relents and tells Mai it's okay and that he forgives her. Amelia makes a continue motion with her hand, and he apologizes to Mai. Amelia smiles brightly at this and give him a thumbs up.
Naru demands tea from Mai before going back into his office. Amelia shakes her head before laughing in amusement at Mai's mumblings. She tells Mai that she's going to go bother Lin-san before going to Lin-san's office door, knocking. When he gives her confirmation, Amelia opens his office door and enters, closing it behind him. Amelia walks over to stand behind Lin-san, peeking over his shoulder to see what he's doing on his laptop. She busted out laughing at seeing him play poker.
"Koujo Lin! Oh my God." She says while laughing, causing Lin-san to turn around in his chair to face Amelia.
Amelia smiles innocently at the glare that's thrown at her by Lin-san. She reaches a hand out to mess up Lin-san's hair, squealing and running out as he moves to grab her hand while standing up. Amelia runs to Naru's office and bursts in, closing the door and locking it. She leans against the door and quickly snaps her head up at the sound of a throat clearing. She sees the slight glare her boyfriend is giving her, but she can also see amusement in his glare.
"Did you mess up Lin-san's hair again?" He says with an exasperated tone of voice.
Amelia was about to answer when Mai bursts out laughing. Amelia had forgotten that Mai was in Naru's office because, Naru had wanted tea. Amelia shrieks when she hears a knocking on Naru's office door and runs to Naru, sliding across the floor to his desk. She crawls under his desk and mouths to her boyfriend who's giving her an incredulous look that she isn't here. Naru rolls his eyes before telling the person to come in.
"I sent the last case report to your parents and got a call from Madoka that she is on her way here." Amelia can hear Lin-san tell Naru. Amelia was lucky that Naru's desk didn't have a gap at the bottom and had an opening in the back where Naru sits so she can hide.
"Why is Madoka coming here?" Naru says with gritted teeth.
Amelia can hear his aggravation in his voice, she can also hear Mai taking her leave. She too were curious as to why Madoka was coming here all the way from England.
"She got wind of the case and is also intrigued, so she is coming along to help." Lin-san says before telling Naru the time she's supposed to come in and takes his leave.
Amelia pop up from under the desk and sigh in relief. She crawls the rest of the way out before dusting herself off. She smiles innocently at her boyfriend who looks like he's done with Amelia, even though she knows he isn't.
"Next time please don't hide under my desk." Naru says to Amelia, amusement laced in his voice.
Amelia gives him a big grin before leaning down to give Naru a soft kiss on his cheek. She knows that her and Naru both know this won't be the last time. They both also know that this won't be the last time he says that either. When she pulls away she sees that Naru has a genuine smile, small but a smile nonetheless on his face.
She bids him a farewell before taking her exit, telling Mai goodbye as well. She makes it to the office door and opens it, before yelling her goodbyes to Lin-san before rushing out. She closes the door behind her and descends down the stairs. All that was left was to go home and start cleaning and cook dinner for the guys.
Alright that is it for chapter 3! If you guys want this to continue let me know! I really enjoy writing this and hope you guys enjoy reading this. Until next time
