-Ikuto's POV-
I trapped her against the wall, and she wasn't resisting. Everything about her screamed "temptation." Did she not realize how beautiful she is and she might make a loser guy who couldn't score any dates have a breakdown?
She was quiet and it was silent for a moment.
At that moment, the time stopped. As if it was our own little world at that time, at that place and we were together.
The thing is, if I kiss her right now, I might just happen to win our little bet. I would break her will and she would definitely fall for me. She might kiss me back, and I get to make her mine. I wanted to make her mine too. This was the only time in my life that I wanted something so badly.
She was looking straight into my eyes to read my thoughts. Her warm eyes looking a little lost at first, but now more stable. Our eyes had connection, and I was leaning down for a kiss.
I feel her warm breath, I was holding her soft cheeks carefully, but as I was barely touching her lips only a millimetre away…
"Ring Ring Ring!"
Damn it! Stupid cellphone interruption!! Amu walked over to the other side of her bed, opened her blue leather purse and found her cellphone.
"Hello?"
--On the Other Line--
"Hey Amu! How's New York?"
"Oh hey Rima. It's great."
"Well, I'm about to give you the info about the job, but oh my gosh, I NEED to tell you something even more important!"
"What?" She said in a little annoyed tone.
"Psh. Don't give me that tone right now. I'm about to tell you the most exciting news ever!"
"I'm still waiting for the theatrics to be over Rima."
"Okay. Okay. Tadase is at New York too! Remember?! Your FIRST LOVE?! Anyways, he'll be at your business meet too in Thursday. So you might have a chance to catch up with him and all!"
"Wow…" Amu looked a bit frozen.
"Meet in Chrysler Building okay? I told him that you'd meet him there tomorrow at 2pm."
"Wait, back up. You did what?!"
"Let me make it simpler for you then. You. Him. Meet. 2pm.
Got it? Anyways, gotta go, love ya! Bye!" –Beep-
Amu sighed. She muttered under her breath, "She better stop that hanging up on people habit."
-- Amu's POV --
This had to be the funniest joke ever.
Hotori Tadase, my first love in middle school throughout high school. He had this beautiful gentle smile that would always make my heart melt every time I saw it. He was the person who would make my heart drop everytime he talked to me. He was so kind to everyone too, he was so... perfect. My friends and especially Rima knew that I had the hugest crush on him. She always wanted to spill the beans since she was such a gossip girl.
There might've been a possibility that he knew that I loved him. Well, since everyone knew, it would've been obvious. If he didn't figure out, then he's a douchebag.
I was always stuttering when Rima kept on encouraging me to confess.
When I always had a chance, I would always be the coward that I am and go like, "I love…… your shirt today!" Instead of saying "I love you!"
Now, when I think I was about to kiss Ikuto, this prince charming who just appeared in my life like magic, Tadase just HAD to come back into the picture.
I felt lost. Not knowing how to breathe. Just thinking about Tadase just makes my heart skip beats and have butterflies in my stomach again.
But then again, Ikuto made me feel like what Tadase did to me before too, except he's more of the teaser and player.
"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost." He said as he woke me up from my self-thinking.
"Nothing. How bout we just go to dinner today then?"
He looked delighted. "My pleasure," he said as he reached for my right hand and kissed the top of it.
I blushed – obviously.
"I'll pick you up at 6pm then."
"Sure."
"See you then." He then headed for the door.
I groaned. I felt like I needed to choose now. I crashed to my bed and screamed at the pillow. (Great stress reliever)
How the hell did my love life get so complicated? I thought to myself.
I liked Ikuto! But why did Tadase have to show up to screw with my feelings awkwardly again?
It was 5 o'clock, so I'll just get ready. I might as well dress up; I haven't done that for a long time.
I quickly showered, dried my hair, make up, and now deciding what the heck I should wear.
Two options: Ddress that goes up to my thighs. (Rima kept on telling me that this dress will score me few dates.)
So I decided to go with the black dress. Sure if it was somewhat short, but I'll bring a jacket too.
I'll admit it myself, I look hot. It's 5:45 now, so he might come soon.
I'll make this as a test, if Ikuto gets my heart beating nonstop and make me blush nonstop, I might love him more than Tadase.
Before I meet Tadase, I want to make it clear. I don't want my middle to high school sweetheart make me go through that again.
"Knock Knock Knock"
Great, right on the dot. 6:00 sharp. I headed for the door and saw him very dressed up. As he saw me, he broke down into a breathtaking smile of exultation.
"Stop making my heartbeat drop Amu, you're making me not breathe by just looking at you."
He eyed me everywhere, making me feel like I've done something wrong. But then he held my waist by his side, and I was very close to him now. We were walking side by side, his hands in my waist, and heading for the door.
--
We were at this expensive, extravagant restaurant. Service and food was great too. The only thing that didn't make it perfect was that I was shy about the fact that Ikuto was with me.
"So what was the phone call about?" He asked before lifting his glass for wine.
"Oh. Nothing much, just my friend Rima telling me an awkward news."
"News?"
I didn't know if I should tell him about the Tadase thing, but I had a feeling he would've figured out sooner or later, so I just decided to tell.
"My friend Tadase is at New York too, she just told me that he'll be there at Thursday with me at the meeting."
"Tadase?" He looked up at me.
I avoided his face, and muttered, "My old sweetheart."
I didn't want to see his reaction. I mean, it's just my old sweetheart right?
He eyed me particularly, and smirked. "Would he happen to be my competition then?"
My eyes widened and blush gone mad. "W-What??"
He smirked, and then broke into laughter from my expression. "Cmon, let's head back now."
God, I hate it when he makes fun of me like that! Such a teaser...
I was in front of my hotel room door now and I was about to open the door when I felt a warm hug from the back.
"Good night Amu." He squeezed me tighter and he snuggled his face in my hair and shoulders.
By then, he would've surely heard my loud heartbeat thumping.
