well anyways, here goes my next chapter!
Chapter 5
(A/N: they're done with the amusement park, it's already 9 pm and they decided to eat in a restaurant.)
Natsume parked in front of a restaurant. He got out and opened the door at mikan's side. She got out and placed the pink cat stuff toy which natsume got for her on her seat. Natsume gave her a hurry-up-I'm-really-hungry look, mikan noticed this and just presumed that he was staring at her
"what are you looking at? Pervert!" mikan said while sticking out her tongue. Natsume just rolled his eyes and said to himself 'she's so dense!'
As she got out, the first thing she saw was a restaurant, high class restaurant of course, the name is angells vallée. The restaurant has these peaceful, calm and romantic aura surrounding it.
It has this French garden theme. The walls are covered with vines and some orchids, too. There's also those trees decorated with white lights, Perfect for couples.
"wow….'who knew hyuuga can be like this?'" mikan asked herself. Natsume looked at her, pleased with her surprised expression.
"you know, strawberry, you can stay here and just stare at the restaurant, while I eat." Natsume said nonchalantly.
"you're such a pervert! Of course I'll go inside and eat! I just can't believe that you actually dine in this kind of places." Mikan retaliated.
"tch, of course, can't a guy eat in a relaxing place once in a while? So are you coming or not?" natsume asked impatiently while he offered his right arm to her. So mikan unconsciously took his arm and they went to the restaurant side by side.
Inside the restaurant, the matre D' welcomed them.
"bonjour, monsieur and mademoiselle. Do you have a reservation?" he asked with a hint of French accent.
"yeah, the table for hyuuga." Natsume replied in a whisper, mikan don't care much 'cause she's examining every nook and corner of the restaurant, with an amazed look on her face. When natsume's done talking to the matre D', he turned to his companion and just smirked at her. Mikan heard this and just shrugged.
"what are you smirking at?" mikan asked with a tint of poison in her voice.
"tch, you look like a kid who just saw her favourite toy, you know?" natsume said more likely a statement than a question. He was really entertained with her, he never got bored of teasing her.
This comment made mikan remember her childhood friend. It's the same line that he said when they're in the ferris wheel! 'is he…? No, he can't be nat-kun. Nat-kun's nicer than he is!'
Then the matre D' faked a cough which made mikan abruptly look at him and natsume glare at him for interrupting his train of thoughts.
The matre D' just smiled nervously at them and started introducing himself,
"once again, bonjour! My name is kyouri, and I'll be you're matre D' for this night. If you'll follow me, I'll be directing you to your table." Mikan nodded happily and natsume just grunted a "hn" in agreement. They followed kyouri and soon, they reached their table which was at the garden of the restaurant. The garden looks very romantic. There's bushes with roses, both pink and red. And some trees with Christmas lights hanging on them. Their table was isolated in the center. It's a white circle table with maroon table cloth. Mikan was surprised to see all these. 'wow! Talk about gentleman!'
Natsume then pulled the chair for mikan, she seated herself while natsume adjusted the chair for her. He then seated himself on his chair, which is across the table. When they're already settled, kyouri then gave them the menu. He waited for three minutes and asked,
"monsieur, what will your orders be?"
"hn, ask strawberry first." Natsume said without taking his eyes off the menu. Kyouri then changed his direction to mikan, signalling her to give him her orders.
"I'll have Fricassée de Mer et sa Julienne de legumes, Smoked Salmon and Dill Crepes and for dessert, I'll have two Chocolate Crepes and two Chocolate Mousse and I'll have iced tea for my beverage." She smiled in contentment. Kyouri was surprised with her orders, who knew a model with a petite body can eat this much? He just put the idea aside and turned to natsume to get his order.
"how about you, monsieur?" he asked with a gentle smile. Natsume just shrugged and said
"I'll also have the smoked salmon and dill crepes, Andouille and Potato Crepes and for desert, I'll have Cardamom Coffee Mousse and I'll have red wine for my drinks." Natsume said while he handed the menu to kyouri.
"is that all, monsieur?" kyouri asked him. Natsume glanced at mikan who went to the bushes with pink roses. He just smirked and said
"yeah, that's all, you may leave. Now." Natsume ordered, kyouri quickly grabbed the other menu and left. Natsume noticed mikan's shades were on the table, so he removed his and went to her.
Natsume's pov
I saw her, well not totally see her face; I'm facing her gentle back. She look like an angel, her silky, brunette hair; that soft and creamy skin of hers that made me want to touch her -what the?, 'great, I'm being a damn pervert when I'm around her!' then, I just got an idea, why don't I scare the hell out of her? And I'll use this for my teasing later. So I tip toed slowly to her, with an evil glint in my eyes. But the more that I got nearer to her, the more that I smell her sweet perfume. It smells like strawberry vanilla. I remembered that scent, she used to wear it when we first met,
Flashback
It was summer, the sun was high in the sky. 'It's really hot' I thought. Then, when I stood up, as if answering my prayers, I saw an ice cream van in front of me. So I lined up and ordered my ice cream.
"one strawberry ice cream." I said emotionlessly. I gave him ten yens and before I got my ice cream, I saw this brunette girl, being bullied by two jerks.
"oi, give us your money now!" the other commanded her. She looked really scared but she still managed to shake her head in disagreement. Then this other jerk whispered something to that bastard. I saw that bastard grinned evilly. I knew where this was going, so I ran to the scene and shielded the girl and said,
"oi, pick on your own size, will yah?" I said, poison obvious in my voice. The two bastards just smirked and said,
"who do you think you are to say that to us?" he asked threatening me. I just stuck out my tongue childishly, which made him pissed off more. He was about to punch me when I kicked his private part, which made him bent down in pain. The other also started to charge when I pulled the girl and moved out of his way, which made him run to a tree. I then shouted to them,
"I told you to pick on somebody else, right?" they began charging in opposite directions, one from the right, the other from the left. I got out of their way and,
CRASH!
They bumped each other. I tried walking to them, but that made them scared and ran away while screaming,
"mommy! Those little brats bullied us! Uwahh!" I just smirked in contentment. I then turned to the girl, who was still scared, so I went to her and said,
"shhh, everything's alright now. They won't bully you ever again." I then reached out my hand to her. She stared at it for a moment, it's like she's having second thoughts, but she grabbed it and stood up with a smile on her face.
"thank you soo much~! I don't know how to repay you!" she said cheerfully. But nervousness is still visible in her eyes.
"why don't I just buy you an ice cream?" I then offered to her. This made her smile more and quickly nodded. So we walked hand in hand to the ice cream van and I ordered two strawberry ice creams. When I gave her one, she smiled and said,
"wow~! My favourite! Arigatou eh…" she thought for a while.
"nat-kun, how about you?" I asked her.
"you can call me mi-chi! Yehey! I have a best friend! Come on! Let's sit there on the bench!" she then grabbed me. She smelled like strawberry vanilla.
End of flashback
Poke

Poke
"what the hell are you doing strawberry?" I exploded. Why in the world is she poking me?
"I'm poking you 'cause you're just spacing out there! Come on! I'm hungry already!" she tried to pull me but I just stayed there, enjoying her pleading expression. But I just gave in already, too bad I didn't got to surprise her, I pouted-what the? I pouted? For real? Why'd the heck did I pouted for? I quickly got rid of my expression and turned to my emotionless self again. When I seated myself, kyouri came in and brought in the main course. As soon the food reached our table, mikan began to eat. I looked at her with an entertained expression on my face, she was about to finish her first course when she noticed me.
"you have your own food, you know?" she said as she glared at me, she thought that I was looking at her food. So I just smirked and ate my first course. When I was done with my food, polka was just finishing her second course. She looked very childish right now. When she's finished, she then looked at me and asked
"what?" oblivious that I was laughing inside….wait me. Laughing? I didn't laugh ever since I set foot here in Tokyo. 'ever since I left her.' Then, kyouri came in again with our desserts, I ordered iced tea 'cause I had enough with red wine. When the desserts came, she quickly ate hers. When I'm done with mine, she just looked at me and sighed,
"thank kami-sama you're done!" I was surprised that she can eat that much! She must've high metabolism or something! Kyouri gave me the check, so I just gave him my credit card without even looking at it, he then excused himself. When I turned to polka's seat, she's not there, so I looked around and I saw her at the same pink roses' bushes. So I went to her, this time, I have no intentions of scaring her.
Normal pov
When natsume came to mikan's side, she turned to his direction abruptly and sighed in relief.
"*sigh* I thought it's someone else," she then returned her focus on the roses.
"hn, you really like roses, do you?" natsume more likely said than asked her.
"yeah, especially the red ones. It reminds me of my childhood friend." She said with a sad smile. Then they just stood there, in an uncomfortable silence. Natsume noticed the sad aura, so he just took mikan's left arm, which made mikan face him. Mikan's staring at him, then a tear began to drop from her sad eyes. So natsume cupped mikan's face and removed the tear with his thumb and said with concern,
"you know, it's never your type to cry, strawberry." Mikan just showed a little sad smile and said,
"yeah, I think your right." They both stared into each other's eyes. Mikan saw pure sadness and concern in his eyes, while natsume saw sadness in hers.
Mikan's pov
I feel so guilty to make him this concerned about me. Then he began to come closer to me, I was still staring into his deep, crimson eyes when he kissed me!
'what the…?'
Natsume's pov
I can smell her perfume, I touched her silky hair, I can't control myself. Then, I saw her sad but beautiful hazel eyes, and her blushing creamy white face. Her soft, plump, kissable lips, I can't stand it! I took a step closer to her, then, I pulled her into a kiss. I nibbled on her lower lip, asking for her to respond, still no reaction. I then pulled her closer to me, she finally gasped. I let myself in and I explored her dainty mouth. After one minute, I pulled away, and we both gasped for air. 'who knew polka can be a good kisser?' I just smirked at the thought of it.
Mikan's pov
'what just happened? Oh yeah, we kissed, my very first kiss….wait…

"NATSUME YOU PERVERETED JERK! WHO TOLD YOU TO KISS ME, HUH?" I shouted at the top of my voice.
"hn, you know polka, you're a very good kisser." He said nonchalantly, as if nothing happened.
"Y-YOU PERVERT! IT'S LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED WHEN YOU SAID THAT!" I was blushing scarlet. He just stood up and offered his arm to me. I just shrugged and said,
"hmp, I can stand up by myself, you know!" I shouted angrily while I stood up. I then lead the way outside, doesn't minding from everyone's stares at me. 'that was my first kiss and that jerk took it from me!' I didn't notice that natsume just smirked at me, or did he smiled?
