Chapter 7

Amu's POV

It was as if my heart beat wouldn't shut up. Every damn second, it was beating twice as hard. I was too embarrassed too, my face lit up quite brightly. Ikuto was making me breathless. I'm sure he's laughing to himself how he can hear my loud heartbeat.

When he dropped his hands and strolled away after the quiet "Good Night," that he whispered in my ears, my heart stopped beating then. Maybe it dropped. Disappointment flooded around my body and mind. I didn't like it that he was leaving.

So maybe then, I reacted too fast. I quickly caught up with him and hugged him tightly as I could from the back.

I liked it how he made me feel I was safe.

I liked it how he made me feel comfortable with him.

I liked it how warm it made me feel when he held me tight.

But I didn't like it when he let go of me.

He turned around to read my face. He then smirked like he always does and hugged me even tighter.

He whispered in my ears, "I'm winning the bet right?"

I smiled and whispered back in his other ear, "I think you've already won."

He smiled his gorgeous smile even wider and he leaned in for a kiss. My eyes widened at first, but as his soft lips were brushing against mine, I closed my eyes.
I gently tiptoed and wrapped my arms around his neck. My hands tangling and playing with his silky blue hair.
He wrapped him warm arms around my waist tight.
Our kiss suddenly got more passionate, and he totally stole my heart.
Because my fluttering heart belonged to him now.

The next morning, I was drooping around in my bed, as I'm not the early bird type.
Rima reminded me before going to bed that I was suppose to meet Tadase in front of the building today.
I also remember how Ikuto responded by saying that I'm his now, and no one else can have me.
Blushing as I am already, I get dressed.

I decided to be bright today. So I wore light, warm colours. Very business and fashionable too.

Ikuto, just being in time happened to come to my room and be the playful cat that he is.

He was leaning across the bed, watching me getting ready in distress and hurry when he finally decided to stop me and pinned me down beside him.

He was making a gentle kissing trail in my neck, intertwining our fingers tightly, but before he got into it more, I laughed it off and stopped him.

"Not now, kitty."

He pouted. It was cute and I laughed from his expression.

--

Ikuto was somehow… securely tightening me to him. Was he that scared of letting me go off to Tadase just for a meeting?

Before he let me go, he hugged me so tight that I almost couldn't breathe. Then he kissed my forehead.

"You know, it's not like I'm never coming back," I smiled up on him to reassure that I'd survive.

"I know, it's just hard having to go through the anxiety that you won't be here," then he wrapped his arms securely around me.

I gave him a quick kiss on the lips and strolled off.

--

Each step that I was going through, I would meet Tadase, the jerk who made my heart drop every time I saw him.

I was looking down on the floor as I walked towards the building.

As I opened the door, I see him.

His blonde hair, his tall figure, and his gentle face that's now smiling at me.
