Chapter 7

First of all, I would like to apologize for the long wait. I know it has been couple months since the last update, but this semester at school has been very difficult and hard. I tried to continue with chapter 7, but I was busy every weekend with one or two classes. I have finally gotten some time to write the story.

Second, thank you for the reviews. I really look forward to the reviews. I and would like to say again that I am not going to stop the story just like that. I am going to try to finish it and keep updating on time. So thank you for your reviews and reading the story

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters.

Back to the story:

…
It felt good talking to Mom and Suzuna after a long time. We talked for about half an hour, usually we don't get this much time, as I would be busy at work. I told mom how I made friends here and she seemed happy for me. I still haven't told her about all the mess and am not thinking about telling it to her anytime soon. I found out that the renovation at the house got done and it looked like new. Both sounded happy that I could not help smile too, maybe this job wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Even though I might not like to work here, this work is still making my family happy.

After I got done talking with her, I checked again whether I had anything else to do. There actually wasn't anything else to do for the first time, as I had already finished today's work. Good think the Alien was in the meeting and not coming up with work for me to do. Usually when I am about to get done with work, the Alien would come up to me and hand me some work. Since now getting done with work, I start the process to do tomorrow's work.

There were couple files to organize, paper to be checked and appointments to be made. I tried to only do half of the work, so I have at least something to do tomorrow and can leave early. If I was given more work, at least I would not have a lot to do. If I kept doing my work on time, I would have time to actually go to the Party with my friend. For the first time, I was looking forward to a party.

I organized the last file and looked up in time to see Takumki coming through the door and untying his tie. He just sat down, leaned his head back against the chair and closed his eyes.

He did not say anything and just sat there in silence. He seemed tiered and annoyed, this hardly ever happens. Usually when he comes out of a meeting, he will try to annoy me or give me some work to do. It rarely happens that he just sits down in silence and do nothing. I wondered if he had eaten anything at all, since he was all day in the meeting room. My question was answered with a faint growl coming from his stomach. He did not move to get something and chose to ignore it and went back to work.

Without thinking I got up and went to the café. Halfway through the door, I decided to return and get back to work. Why do I even care whether he ate something or not. But looked back again and I felt bad for him.

It's okay Misaki, you are just doing it because you are nice. Nothing bad with that.

…

I quickly ordered a sub and got a coke from the wending machine and went upstairs again.

He was still working when I came back and did not even look up to see that someone was approaching him.

I did not want to disturb him so I quietly sat the plate and drink on his desk and went back to work. I was about to log into my computer, when I felt someone looking at me.

The alien was staring at me with a bemused look on his face. I knew it was a bad idea to get this person food.

"What?" I asked annoyed.

"Nothing." With that he kept staring at me and did not say anything else. I could feel the wheels working in his head.

"What is it?" I asked again.

Without saying anything, he got up with the food, put the plate on my desk and sat down.

"I did not know it would be so fast?"

"What?"

"I did not know that you would care so much for me and feel the same way! It's kinda touching."

"I don't know what you are talking about? Why would I care for you?"

"We have been spending so much time lately, got to know each a little bit, and now the food. You started to care for me and can't see me hungry, can you now?" he smiled.

"I don't care whether you are hungry or not and I was just doing my work, not trying to get to know you. And I always bring you food, remember that's my job?"

Is this person out of their mind? Did something happen during the meeting that has made him go mad. Why is he behaving so strange and here I thought that he was not in a good mood?

"Well yeah you do bring me food when I say it, but you never brought it on your own before."

Before I could say anything he continued to talk.

Whether you believe or not, but you have been attracted to me since day one. I could see it in your eyes. I mean look at me, I am not bad looking."

As he said those lines he moved closer and I moved back in my chair.

"Umm, you got the wrong idea. Could you please let me work in peace?" I tried to avoid his eyes and looked behind him, wishing someone would come in and help me.

"Don't deny it. Do you think I have not noticed your little attempts to get my attention?"

What is he talking about? Is he meaning when I spilled the coffee on the files and water on his watch? He calls those firing attempts my way of getting his attention, because I like him?

"I don't know what you are talking about?"

"Come on Misaki it's alright. We will hide it from the others, it will be our own secret. Our own world!" He walked around the table and stopped before my desk and took my hand in his hand.

The sudden action startled me. What was happening? This was all strange.

"I was waiting for the right time to come. I have been waiting patiently for you to finally realize your feelings for me. I am glad I did not have to wait so long."

I quickly stood up and tried to make some distance between us. Before I could take a step back he hugged me.

"Let go of me."

"It's okay. I know you wanted to hug me too."

I pushed him back and took couple steps back.

"You got it all wrong. I do not like you in that way. I actually do not like you at all. I-I was just trying to make you get angry at me and then fire me. I think you got the wrong idea." I quickly said.

With that he turned around and went back and sat down. He crossed his legs, leaned back, and just grinned at me.

"What?" I asked confused.

"Nothing. I did not know you would confess so fast. I am kinda disappointed, I wanted to see how far this would go. I knew you did not like me, but I did not think that you were trying all those things just to get me fire you. Impressive."

What? All that just to make me confess? My heart was racing with anger. I curled my hands in a fist and tried controlling myself from hurting someone. I did not even realize that I just confessed my attempts. I was about to scream at him, but then thought well it's all good, now he will surely fire me.

He continued talking, "Now I will make sure not to fire you, you are an interesting thing Miss Misaki, very entertaining. I would advise you not to think of any other stupid things, because nothing is going to work. You will be only wasting your time. I would not care whether you come up with something, as I would actually find it entertaining, but it's your time and effort that would be wasted and thank you."

"Thank you for what?" I snapped

"For bringing my food and for brightening my mood."

"What are you talking about, how did I brighten your mood?" I wondered

"By teasing you" he simply said.

Before I could say something, he got up took the plate and went back to his desk. He looked up once and gave me a wink and started eating.

I turned around, sat down and looked at my screen and tried to think what just happened? Everything happened so quick, that nothing made sense.

So what do you think? Please review

I am sorry if it's short, but I tried to write as much as I could in my free time. I do not know when the next update will be, but I am going to try doing it as soon as possible. Thanks
