PLAYING WITH HEARTS

The deeper you fall, the harder it is to get up.

RECAP:

I'm his? What the fuck was that all about? I don't understand this! I don't understand him. I need to talk to him about this, argh. But wait, why is my heart beating rapidly? I touched my cheeks, they were warm. Oh dear no, I'm not falling in love with another playboy! Aaargh.

--

"So she doesn't want to fall in love with another playboy, huh. Be ready, Natsume. You're gonna change for her and she'll fall madly in love with you. No one ever rejected me anyways," Nastume thought while a smirked was plastered on his face.

"Just you wait, Mikan Sakura. You're soon gonna be mine," he thought again while the smile on Mikan's face was on his mind. And then he soon fell asleep, dreaming about the girl he wants.

And whatever Natsume Hyuuga wants, he always gets them.

I'm completely baffled; the way he did those things to me.. it's impossible. He can't be in love me, right? He's a playboy, he would do that to any other girl if he wanted. So that means I'm just a victim here? Again? Oh fuck. I need to clarify this to him as soon as possible. I don't want to be in a sick joke here, never.

Based from my observations, he seems to be under the shade of a sakura tree near to the gates of Alice Academy. It's pretty much isolated there, only a few people passed by there. So I went to him with all of the guts I've stored a few minutes ago, I slowly walked near him; thinking that this conversation would be as planned.

But seems like whenever I'm with Natsume, my plan always fails. One strong wind passed by, making my skirt flip. With one eye open, he smirked at me. I quickly pulled my skirt down with a very, very red face.

"You know Polka, you shouldn't wear such childish prints such as that." He pointed at my skirt. "Oh and you shouldn't let other people see those, just me. Alright?" He added, looking at me with a smirk again.

"It's not like I wanted to show it to you, pervert!" I exclaimed and was about to punch him when his right arm pushed me nearer to him causing me to sit on his lap. I hesitated, I wanted to stand up, but his arm was far too strong for me.

"We both know that you like me," he whispered seductively to my ear causing me to have chills on my spine. How could he like this? It's like he controls me.. it's fucking annoying.

"Let go of me! And hell no, I wouldn't like a playboy again!" I exclaimed louder this time, no way in hell would I ever fall for another one like Rui. As I remember those moments, my eyes went teary; but I wouldn't dare shed a tear in front of Natsume.

"What if I changed? Would you fall in love with me?" he asked bluntly, too blunt in fact. He looked so serious, he's crimson eyes staring right throught my chocolate ones. All I see is that he's so serious and honest; no lies hidden. Too bad, I wouldn't let my guard down.

"Yeah, right. As if you'd changed, it's not that easy. I'm not one of those girls who would go after guys such as yourself, I'm not cheap." I told him with my eyes staring directly to his.

I may be sad, but I'm not weak..

My ringtone, who would call me right now?! Ugh. I grabbed my phone from my front pocket. And yet again, he took it from me and answered the call. Whoever the caller is, I just don't want it to be her.

"Who's this?" he question with a cold tone. How dare he talk like that to my caller? ugh. Then he switched on the speaker.

"It's Rui, who's this?" I gasped, I take back my words. Talk to him like that, I don't mind.

"It's Natsume, Hyuuga Natsume. Mikan's boyfriend." Wait, what the hell? Before I could say anything, he covered my mouth with his hand.

"Mikan's boyfriend? She's mine, you know; mine." I'm his? hell no. I'm better of with off with Natsume than him. Oh shoot.. pretend I didn't think that way, alright? I'm better off with uh.. oh nevermind.

"She's mine, bastard. Just wait and see.. I'm going to get her there and she'll be all mine." Rui said with a spat of venom that still creeps me out. I looked at the expression of Natsume, he looked so not him. Like he's eyes are glaring to kill and I looked down, avoiding his bloody-red eyes. I couldn't even utter a word. Then Natsume ended the call and tossed my phone on my lap.

Still sitting on his lap, he murmured words I never thought a guy such as himself will say to a clumsy and plain girl such as myself.

"Mikan Sakura, I love you.. I'm promise and swear to God that I'm never going to hurt you. When I met you, some of cold aura went away. My dark world brighten 'cause after all, you're my very own sunshine.. -"

I almost did believe him.. then again, he was reading it from a love book! He's so corny, but way sweet enough for me.

"In simpler words, so that an idiot such as yourself would understand. I love you and I want you to be my only girlfriend and I'm of course, your only boyfriend. So what do you say, little girl?" he embraced me, a tender embrace that I needed for almost forever now.

I didn't utter any word.. I didn't move. I felt my world stopped; my heart beat racing and my cheeks getting warmer. Before I knew it, total darkness overwhelmed me.

"Ugh.. not again," was the last words I uttered then I heard Natsume saying my name ever so caring, which I must say is not like him.

But honestly, I kind of like him. Oh forget I said that.. ugh, it's so complicated now.
